Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Not a Liz-centric episode!!!!!!!! And then her first scene was with JASON?? Let me just fall out now. lol. Not even too soon after all her recurring scenes with Lucky and Ric, too. I stay liking the rotation when it comes to Liz and 'her men.' lol. 

 

I mean...that was a great start to the week. So much was going on that I liked. I loved Liz having the goods on Cyrus and went to her trump card Jason first, told/showed him. Then she walked over to Anna and told/showed her. So if something happens to her, it's all on the table. Smart. And Rebecca Herbst was eating all those scenes up with intelligence, sass, and classic heroine. I have been enjoying seeing her, but she's been mostly B/C plot placed as of late. She felt like a central character today, and I didn't mind it one bit.

 

I had forgotten that Drew is slowly targeting Jason AND Sonny so I loved him actually acting like a major manipulative player today. Not like Drew, but the Drew Q that has been emerging over the past year. Like a sinister sense of agency. Cam already plays a good prick, but he hit a whole other level today in Drew walking into that meeting with Laura, Curtis, and Jordan waiting.

 

I've been meaning to say it, but I kept forgetting, but I've been loving Tabyana bringing back her braids lately. I even liked the cute little Joss/Trina scenes because it felt like a couple of friends rather than just plotpoint scenes. And awww at Trina feeling weird to go to Kai due to Spencer. Meanwhile, there goes Joss off into the Cyrus storyline.

 

Ugh at all things Jason/Sasha. I had seen those pictures of the kiss and figured it was a facade. Good to be right. smh. Frank Those writers suuure are trying their best to sell it. Like I said...Britt and Jason this is not. This...is just propping. Silly propping at that. Perhaps if they built on the growing Sasha/Willow rivalry better, it might hit better. Until then...the only reaction that felt organic to the scene was, of course, Mac's. lol. Who I loved seeing throughout the episode.

 

Those Sonny/Carly scenes were so place holder scenes. But I have to say...it was soooo Carly in character. Hehe. Not surprising given who was the HW in charge for this episode. 

 

Hehe at Tracy being petty about Willow's car.

 

Good coda with Liz having a target on her back by Cyrus. As expected.

One thing I can always give GH. They will at least give us a VD episode...something Y&R continues to fumble. For one...this was not fantasy episode...humor aside.

 

I will never not look at that shower and not think about Caveman Dante and how hot he looked in it. lol.

 

While Y&R and B&B can't seem to put couples together to save their live for the most part, at least GH has something to play with. Brad and Lucas. Trina and Kai. Liz and Lucky. Mac and Felicia. Brennan and Carly. Dante and Lulu. Aidan and Tobias. I like some better than others, but there are at least couples. 

 

I did like the Brad and Lucas stuff. Or more like I liked the follow-up on Lucas going out on a date. And seeing the date. And he was foine. lol. But there Lucas winded up back around Brad. I'm sure Carly is going to like that. 

 

Brennan and Carly were fluff. So was Chase and BLQ...though that song was cute. So was Trina and Kai...though I liked Portia being the worried mama. Even Aidan and Tobias. I giggled at the fact they are trying to de-aged the actor a bit. And as for Tobias...I personally just like having the payoff of such a long running thread in him finally appearing. 

 

Hehe at Mac and Felicia. I wouldn't mind him a spoiler for the lame Jason/Sasha storyline. Heck, I might care more if he was. 

 

The meatier stuff was left to Liz and Lucky and Lulu and Dante for me (cuz we know I was not here for Jason and the 'whiny' version of Anna though I appreciate the little ring of truth in those scenes).

 

Lulu and Dante needed more bonding (not forced) time together. And this I liked. It continued to touch on how out of time Lulu had been and her struggle to get back to normal. As well as Dante and those feelings he still has for Sam. It was nice to see Dante laugh for a second. And I really felt the sparks between AB and DZ. 

 

I thought Temp Lucky did decent. Seem like he studied JJ a little bit. But...again...everything else was fine, but the kiss. Not because they did not do well. I thought they did very well. But people are going to be annoyed at such an important moment for Lucky and Liz after decades for some of wanting them back together...has been tainted. I will see how I feel when JJ is back. For all I know tomorrow the scenes got reshot and JJ will be in them and all will be forgiven. We'll see. 

 

Second episode in a row where Liz felt central. Not as good for me as Monday, but loved them all the same. More of the motherly and softer side of Liz. And yes, that coda took my breath away. 

 

Can't wait for tomorrow on that.

I feel like it was good ole revenge. Because just about everyone Cyrus has encountered in the last week and a half have mentioned that it was Liz that was on to him or brought her up in some way that he probably blames her for figuring out what he's been up to...outside of his encounter with Joss yelling at him at the police station. 

 

Unless he wants to kill her and make it look like she was behind it all in the first place...which would still look suspicious. 

 

But perhaps I'm looking too deep into Jeff Kober's solo scenes yesterday which I felt was trying to set up for a slow spiral/walls closing in. But that might be to Jeff's ability to be a good actor that can convey that through his eyes and body language than what was on the page.

I had this same thought too.  I just don't know who would believe that on the show.

At this point the walls are closing in on Cyrus, but no one is actually making any moves.  He could realistically just skip town at this point and disappear.

I mean if they can dumb down THE Anna Devane, sadly anything is possible. 

 

Don't get me started on the pacing. Didn't Lucky and Liz get the real tea on Cyrus at the end of January's. Even by PC's timetable...it's February 14 as of today's episode...and still two weeks ago. They should have been building more smoothly than it has been. Moreso since it was Lucky on one side of the story and Joss on the other side coming to a collision course with each other and each having a piece of information that would help the other realize it was Cyrus. Which at least we got that...and that was a while ago as well.

 

I still feel like both sides should be more involved than what they are given they (Lucky/Liz, Joss) know the truth yet they are still off in their own corners. Add on the Danny/Jason wrinkle and Dante/Chase wrinkle and I don't see how the Cyrus storyline hasn't turned into a whole umbrella tale. And I don't see how it can come to a conclusion that will make sense and satisfy all of its plot points, either tbf.

Come on now. Tobias helped Aiden make a Valentine's Day cake for Elizabeth.

But seriously, General Hospital acts as if it's 1989 when it comes to gay characters. Why did they even bother recasting a new Aiden and Lucas?

It's an act.  Tobias is really straight.  He's just using Aiden for some nefarious purpose.  Trust.  Watch.  Believe.

The economy has been rough on everyone, @Vee.

But seriously.  I just don't trust Aiden and Tobias' relationship.  Aiden's feelings toward Tobias are legit, but I don't think the feelings are mutual.  (Don't ask me why, it's just a gut feeling!)

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
    • Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?

    • Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive. She comes back wearing this HUGE hat---which was a throwback to the old Vanesaa. lol.
    • Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.
    • Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.
    • I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.
    • I definitely think it's time to write off Nina for good. I think her killing Drew might actually be a good idea. She could completely lose it after losing both Sasha and Willow and she ends up murdering Drew and eventually she gets caught and sent away to prison for a long time.
