Catching up with GH...

Quote of the Day: I thought I wanted a career; turns out I just wanted pay checks. - ?

1 month in 1 night...
So, I like to catch up on a lot of General Hospital in one night.  I'm not going to lie, I fast-forward through most of it because it's...yawn...boring.  When last we met, Brenda had just returned to the scene.  She looked funny, had a boyfriend that she had no chemistry with, and everyone was talking about her way too much.  Seriously, we lived without her for all this time, and I am glad she's back, I guess, but enough already. So, let's go over what has happened...
1. Dante/Lulu/Brooke Lynn: OMG THANK GOD THAT IS OVER. EW EW EW....Brooke Lynn is so heinous.  I just can't even look at her.  And I like Dante but they need to leave his shirt on.  Or get that tramp stamp removed and clear up the backne.  Seriously, his shirt is off at least once an episode. What's up with the Brooke Lynn/Nick storyline?  I get that they need to do something with Nick while Elizabeth is on real life maternity leave, but Brooke Lynn? Has every writer at GH lost their mind?  Speaking of Nick...
2. Nick/Patrick's Hair: OMG. What is going on with Nick's hair?  It TERRIBLE.  It makes him look old and strange and like he should be wearing a smoking jacket or something.  And Patrick needs a haircut desperado.  It's like 6 inches up in the air.  CUT IT!
3.  Michael:  I'm really starting to like this new Michael.  Though, I find it hard to believe that he's a senior in high school, but that could be because his portrayer is 23.  Him and Kristina are really cute together as brother and sister.  I really like that.
4.  Brenda: Still kind of weirding me out.  She looks too thin or something.  Or bobble-heady.  IDK. Her mouth doesn't move right.  Did she get a lot of Botox?  The only time I've seen her start to really seem to get into the role is when her and Jason started doing scenes together.  Thank God for Jason.
5.  Lucky: He's awesome.  I even like the crazy Irish undercover thing.  Mostly because it brings me back to the old days of GH of Anna and Duke and Mac when he was a bit cooler. And he does do a passable accent.  It's kind of cute.
6. Maxie: I've never seen Kristen Storms with such a tragic haircut.  WHY?!?!  It only looked good in one of 20 episodes.  And they need to find a story line for her.  I miss her.
7.  Carly: What is she going crazy over Brenda for?  Really?  Jax has been falling all over himself to try to get back together with her and she's made it clear she's done with Sonny, but she's still running around all "Brenda better stay away from men".  Whatevs.
8.  Patrick/Robin/Crazy: That is still a great storyline.  Though, I don't agree with the way they are having Robin deal with the situation.  They are making her seem crazy.  Which seems a bit like the wrong approach.  And Lisa is really creeping me out.  I actually feel uncomfortable watching her.  She does patronizing SO FREAKING WELL.
9.  Jason: I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM!!!  He is still a shining light of awesomeness. Watching old footage of Jason still cracks me up.  Thank God he got better as an actor.  And he's the only reason I'm watching any of the Brenda scenes now.  She finally showed some real looking emotion.  Those two freaking crack me up.  They better not have them fall for each other or some other such nonesense because I would have to stop watching the show.
10.  When will people on Soap Operas figure out not to talk about their stupid plans in public places where they can be overheard?  It's like the most annoying plot device EVER.  There has got to be a better way.
11. Diane: Carolyn Hennesy should win a Daytime Emmy.  She is so freaking hysterical.  I love her so much.  She's like the only woman to even cross Sonny's path without doing him and she's always telling him what a dumbass he is.  It's awesome.
12. Sonny: OMG PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY.  I cannot bare to watch a single moment of him.  And the storyline with Claire is excruciating. I have to turn away even when I fast forward.  I hate it that much.

ARG...
My cat, Morpheus, loves to sit on top of the DVR.  I don't know why.  It's his absolute favorite spot and the only spot of his that the other cats have not dared to attempt taking over.  The problem is he always sits there when I'm watching TV.  And he always has like one small part of his body hanging over it, blocking the signal from the remote.  Like right this second, his paw is just barely hanging over the edge, but just enough to make me get up to move him.  Curses.

Jenn - Enjoy...
