On 'GH,' Alexis kicks Ricto the curb ... finally

By CAROLYN HINSEY

Alexis finally lets on that she knows her husband slept with her daughter next week on "General Hospital."

"All I can tell you is that he picks the fight," says Nancy Lee Grahn, who plays the betrayed Alexis. "She wasn't going to say anything. He says something annoying, and Alexis just snaps. 'You know what, pal? Back off. Because I have a few issues with you.'"

Like having sex with Sam right after Alexis was diagnosed with lung cancer?

"Yeah, that," says Grahn. "Once Alexis gets going, there's a lot of screaming and yelling. She's fed up. At one point, she says, 'What are you doing?' That was an homage to all the viewers who've been going, 'Huh?'"

And there are many. Fans found it hard to believe that Alexis would see her husband and daughter going at it through a window and then just walk away.

"I liked that she didn't say anything right away," says Grahn. "As long as she says it eventually, which she does. Jason forgave Sam pretty fast, so I didn't mind waiting."

Alexis won't forgive Sam quite as fast.

"Sam gets it from Alexis the next day, but by then Alexis is too tired," says Grahn. "She has blown most of her fuses with Ric. Being second in this case is much better."

Curiously, Sam doesn't understand why Alexis is so upset.

"And I don't understand how she is not locked up in Shadybrook with Laura," says Grahn. "Sam needs to have shock therapy on her brain."

Grahn was grateful, though, that Sam didn't pull out the standard soap-opera excuse for her indiscretion.

"I was just glad she didn't say that he got her when she was drunk," says Grahn. "That he took advantage of her. I would have had a few choice words for that, like 'Try that excuse on someone a lot more stupid than I am. You're setting women back 10,000 years and I can't allow that.'"

She can't allow Ric or Sam to keep living with her and her other daughters, either.

"Sam just leaves, thank goodness. Alexis says, 'If you need to find another place to live, that would be fine.' But she tells Ric to get out. First, there were five and then there are three."

Not for long.

"Ric has some plot to take Molly away and he's using his position to do it," says Grahn. "Sonny steps in and invites them to live with him. At that point, Alexis is just too angry and tired: 'Fine.'"

Indeed, all this fighting takes its toll since Alexis has just started chemotherapy.

"Carly actually saves her when she's in the bathroom," says Grahn. "They have a bonding moment while Alexis is tossing her cookies. I'm sure it's just momentary."

And then?

"Alexis has completely turned on Ric and Sam, and Sonny and Jason are her best friends. To have the two hunky stars as your buddies is just fine. More air time for me!"

OMG. LMAO at Grahn saying "more airtime for me"

She sure knows who hogs the spotlight!

LMAO at the more airtime for me thing.

Finally I can watch GH again, I was sick of ric and sam. I can't wait till Alexis blasts them. I might be the only one, but I actually like sonny with alexis, so I'm glad she's moving in with him.

Oh you're not the only one. I've been waiting for Sexis Part II for years. SoapQueen89 doesn't feel that way though, lol. It's Rexis all the way for her.

Just say no to Sexis!

I hate that Alexis moves into Sonnyville. I hate them together, because that means I have to watch Mumbles. Who I despise. I'd rather have her move in with Jason. JasLexis FTW!

I miss Rexis though.

Alexis takes the kids and moves into Sonny's mob house? What a hypocrite.

No to Sexis and Rexis for me

"And I don't understand how she is not locked up in Shadybrook with Laura," says Grahn. "Sam needs to have shock therapy on her brain.

I love NLG! While I have problems with Alexis moving her kids into Sonny's manor, I'm delighted that she tells off Ric...I've never liked him.

Gotta love the airtime comment!
