So Many Questions, So Little Time

 

I have noticed a recent pattern developing and I find it distressing - - more often than not, my commentary on General Hospital lately seems to be comprised mainly of lists of things that I do not understand.  They are long lists.

 

From character destruction to story repetition to blatant Emmy-pandering, Port Charles is awash in the absurd and the only way that I can make order out of the chaos is to write it all down in comforting list-style format.  Unfortunately, my lists are probably not all that exciting for anyone else to read.  But heck, I figure that many of my readers are still watching General Hospital, so they must be pretty forgiving folk to begin with. 

 

I apologize in advance, but I will be doing it again - - 

 

 

 

First of all, is anyone else as confused as I am by a promo for General Hospital without Sonny, Jason, or Carly featured prominently?  (Possible Spoiler Alert:  It goes without saying that Jason will eventually be saving Robin from asphyxiating in her basement on his way home from pulling a toddler from a well and rescuing a kitten from a tree)

 

Second of all, I thought Lisa was simply "misunderstood" as was the dearly departed Claudia, what's up with Johnny's sudden change in thinking (besides writer laziness, I mean)?

 

Third of all, why does the unhinged jiltee always decide to make the jilter "pay" by kidnapping/maiming/offing the jilter's wife/fiancee/golden retriever, etc?  Why doesn't she ever make him actually pay by kidnapping/maiming or offing him?  I've always wondered.

 

Fourth of all, what ever happened to Terrell and the plan to seduce Robin away from Patrick, did Guza see a squirrel and get distracted?

 

Fifth of all, "the tables WILL BE TURNED" ABC promo man?  What does that even mean in morally-inverted Port Charles, another two-week stint at Shady Brook?

 

Sixth of all, it seems a shame to write Lisa into a corner so soon after Anthony Zacchara returned to town, they could have been the next power-mad (emphasis on the Brazil-nut) couple to wreak havoc scheming together.

 

Alas, I fear that Robin and Patrick's spike in screentime will be short-lived.  Oh well, I'll take what I can get on General Mobspital.

 

Anyone taking bets on how this one plays-out?

 

I'll put my money on the morgue. 

 

It's been like six weeks since Jake was run-over by Luke, five weeks since Suzanne slit Theo's throat, and at least three weeks since Morticia Adams in a blonde wig blew Brandon's brains out, so you know that Guza's trigger-finger has got to be getting itchy . . .

I've given up watching - but I refuse to give up reading this blog! You are my GH lifeline from now on.....

It's obvious you don't enjoy the show. Why do you waster your time watching?

[Shannon]

Lissa - the numerous inconsistencies and lack of character follow through has become tedious and at times, frustrating. I have been a loyal fan to GH for many years but watching many of my favorite characters become withered, misused and overlooked simply taints the history of this once great show.

Lissa, I compare it to continuing to watch a hometown sports team even throughout a slump - - you're a fan and you hope that they will soon "pick up their game" so you trudge through the frustration, hoping to eventually come out on the other side and enjoy their playing once again.
