Week Six, Part II
Frisco & Felicia: Oh god, now Felicia's involved in the Laurelton story. Okay, that's a little harsh. It's not completely a case of "Crap, we need to give Kristina something to do!" Wednesday's episode has Felicia sharing nice scenes with Sean, then Bobbie, realizing and talking about her wanting to recapture and hang onto the excitement she's had with Frisco from the beginning. I feel like GH is trying to negotiate with the audience. "If you let us continue with this long, long story, then we'll at least feature the characters you like for as long as we can." That said, it's high time for Felicia to get past her hostility towards "walking centerfold" Sam, but she seems to be moving in the right direction.
Laurelton, the Anna stuff: The negotiating feels more blatant here. "We're going to keep going with this umbrella story, but we're also going to keep Anna prominent, so that's good, right? Right?!" Aside from a brief, frosty interaction before she and Frisco question and pay the derelict for information, Anna and Buzz is ignored this week. Anna's conflict is over what reopening the Brownstone case could mean to her career. If it's unnecessary, she'll likely get fired and have to shamefully leave Port Charles, a place that Robin's grown to love. I should mention I'm having a hard time believing that there would be so much scrutiny in Port Charles about the murder of an out-of-towner, an earlier murder in another, out-of-state town, and the death of the supposed murderer. Port Charles is a metropolis, man. That kind of attention to the deaths of three more or less randos feels more at home in Laurelton.
I'll talk about the mystery/Terry stuff and Mike situation in my next post.
