Georgie and Diego who were a good couple are dead, gay Lucas vanished into thin air, and Dillon got lucky and made it out of town alive.

GH's ratings for the next couple weeks will be interesting. Thursday was the first day of November sweeps.

Yea I know I started watching again, I mean I see the flaws and I'm not sure how comitted I am cause really I don't enjoy Sonny anymore w/o Brenda around nor Luke w/o Laura and the Cassadine dynamic being written correctly.

wow, looking at that pic GH could have had a thriving young adult crew, but they squandered everyone away to cling to aging mobbies and mobbettes. It's only in hindsight you see just how viable all these characters could have been.

Don't forget Claudia's new catchphrase, "I will shoot you!"

I can't wait for GH to do another explosion or fire.

i love the pic posted.

back when lulu was wild. when maxie was finding herself. when georgie was alive. when dillion was around. when the show had a gay character.

[CarlD2]

That is such an unnatural photo of Lulu. I guess that was before they had every man fall for her in an ill-advised attempt to pretend she was a romantic heroine.

I love how Maxie is ignoring them all. Probably because she knows if she looks at them, she will also die or disappear.

[SFK]

Ha, yes, she's singing "Someday My Prince Will Come" in her head and picturing Spinelli, and Lulu looks like drunk girl who just farted, what a BIZARRE looking picture that is.

they each had a three line or so mini bio and a label.

[CarlD2]

What was the label/bio for Lucas?

[JackPeyton]

Georgie was The Good Girl
Lulu was The Wild Child
Dillon was The Dreamer
Diego was The Bad Boy

And i cant remember Maxie or Lucas for the life of me. Sad because i loved those two the most at the time.

JJ looks like an absolute joke playing Lucky as a cop interrogating Jason. Who looks like a kid playing dress up for Halloween

I thought that too. I didn't believe him as much as I would have believed Greg Vaughan in that scene, but then again maybe that's because, to me, Greg Vaughan is Lucky and Tamara Braun is Carly, just purely because of when I started watching.

I liked that Alexis came in and got Jason out of jail, Mac looked like a real jerk in these few episodes and this is classic GH trying to get us to hate the cops and love the mobsters.

That scene at the end where Carly thought she was finally safe in that cabin, and then the door opens and Claudia appears, was chilling. Sarah Brown played a woman who had nothing left to lose so well. GH is on a roll right now, I hope they keep it up.

I watched my very first General Hospital episode last Friday and will see if it pays off to watch the show. It was certainly interesting with the whole hostage situation, but there are so many family connections that I have yet to learn about. Go Sarah Brown!

[classicmoment]

General Hospital is the perfect example of how character perspectives completly change and inconsistencies occur depending on who is in charge. I don't have anything against Sonny and Carly I get their dynamic and I get their history but I was bothered by Sonny's ultimate declaration that he "loved Carly most". I don't believe Sonny loved Carly more than Brenda. I could be wrong but anyway I get it, character propping where necessary.

It also bothered me a bit when Lulu talked about her childhood ummm when did Laura goto the nuthouse? Because from what I saw Lulu was barely past toddler stage when that happened and then Luke and Laura only briefly united before her breakdown. Then I get Luke was a rolling stone, but in his own VERY unconventional way he was about his family why are they trying to change that part of the character? Man have they changed these characters I feel as if I'm watching very different characters.

classicmoment, ITA. Guza changes the characters and their history in a blink of an eye to fit the plot. Sonny saying that he loved Carly the most is to create drama, but I don't care because I don't believe it. He isn't out there desperately searching for her so he can't love her that much. Lulu has not shared a scene with Sonny in more a year or more and here is she is declaring her dying wish that Dominic does not bring down Sonny. Ridiculous. Sam back as Jason's appendage is annoying. So much for Carly's high risk pregnancy. She has the kid in a cabin and is fine.

Olivia does not waste any time. She is already sniffing around Sonny. Johnny is out of luck there.

I was sick of GH's November sweeps stunt by Monday. The ratings will be interesting. I think they will be good.

If I were Dominic I'd say, "If you promise to die, I won't go after Sonny. You do promise, right?"

Between that and Dominic saying Carly is "a nice lady", he's clearly gotten the same brain damage as the rest of the townspeople.

Poor Brandon Barash. He's too good for these awful characters, Sonny and (o)livia.

The Jason/Lucky scene was just too bizarre. I kept going back to their old days, when "the real Lucky" was a thug in training/errand boy. I kept forgetting about their recent history. And of course we get big anvils for the awful story ahead.

[JackPeyton]

Carly has been really nice to Dominic and actually hasnt done much of anything to anyone since he arrived in town. Idk why he would think anything else of her.

with Lucky & Jason i was waiting for Jason to just get up and say "thats enough, little boy" as he walks out. Im having a hard time adjusting to JJ as Lucky, even tho i watched it when he was. Im sorry, i just dont think he is right for the role anymore. They need to make him not a cop, for starters. that would go a long way.

[CarlD2]

I'm sure he will be off the force soon. The mob needs a new hero.

I just think it's silly to call Carly "the nice lady". Even at her best she's not quite there, it's what makes her, or used to make her, stand out.
