It IS A Puzzlement

Remember several months ago, when I created the screencap of the moment section where I asked the adorable child actors on the show to express their opinions regarding current storylines? 

At the time, Emma complained about the "post-partum-depression" storyline, comaMichael shared his take on Rebecca and Nikolas,  and Cameron Webber gave us his opinion on Claudia's pregnancy. 

Well, this section has been sorely lacking in material recently, because right around about the time that I created it, Bob Guza decided that Kristina should commit vehicular manslaughter, Michael should become a lumber jack, and Cameron and Jake should be heard about, but never actually seen.

Consequently, I have been forced to expand the categoryto include screencaps from the post-pubescent cast members as well.

This week, let's ask Dr. Lisa Niles - -

What do you think of the Johnny/Olivia/Sonny "triangle" into which you have just been thrust?

Doesn't a triangle have three people?  If you count Sonny's ego and Olivia's multiple personalities, it's a heptagon at the least!

Which man would you chose if you were in Olivia's position?

You can't be serious.  Charming, sweet, and tuneful or Greasy, chauvinistic and self-centered?  That's a tough one.

Do you mean to say that it's not a difficult decision?  Are you certain you don't find misogyny appealing in a romantic partner?

Olivia has that waiting for her at home, and she's giving me flack for sharing a little antipasto with ***this?   Be serious, girl is whack.

Stay tuned next week when, still riding high from yesterday's show, we ask Dr. Robin Scorpio the question - - how do you feel about the fact that the writers actually remembered Scrubs' first anniversary?

So excited, although Emma is totally bummed they forgot her birthday.

 

***please let the record reflect that the author refers only to the fictional character of Sonny Corinthos and his complete dick-i-tude. I'm certain Maurice Benard is quite a nice fellow - - adorable dimples, house full of rescued animals, clearly believes that children are cheaper by the dozen, what's not to love?***

Things That Make You Go "Awwwwww"

I am aware that I'm a day late in welcoming Scott Reeves and his dimples back to daytime, but unfortunately, it's been a busy week in my real-world.

Welcome back Mr. Reeves

Dare I hope that the return of Steve Hardy's grandson as chief of staff will mean that occasional stories might actually take place at the medical institution for which the show was named?

Nevermind, don't answer that, I'm in my happy place today.

Back to the happy - - - Steven Webber began his run with big-brotherly support for little sister Elizabeth.

Steven:  Look, whatever it is, you know I'm on your side. 

{later} I'm concerned about you.  I don't care what she has on you, or what you've done, so when you're ready to tell me about it, I'm ready to help.

Aw shucks, I love him already.

Next, Dr. Webber had some words of advice regarding vendettas for Rebecca - -

Steven:  Look, I don't know who did what to who, and I really don't much care.  But I've always found that the longer you hold a grudge, the more people get hurt, and not just the person you're mad at.  So now that you've got all this time on your hands, maybe you want to work something out with my little sister?  Or you could both do yourselves a favor and agree to let it go.

He's clearly new to town if he's advising bygones instead of violent retribution, another point in his favor in my book!

Elsewhere in town, Dante remembered where he had previously seen the mysterious CO77X graffiti, whilst also continuing to provide further support for the theory that he is not Sonny's child with his random acts of chivalry.

Also making a welcome return this week was Johnny's stubble.

Along with his gushy romantic side - -

Johnny:  I know I'm a fool, but I just wanna be with you 

{later}

Johnny:  So we can stay apart to preserve my pride, or stay together, huh?

Olivia:  Pretty much

Johnny:  Well, I should run in the opposite direction, but . . . . I've always been a little nuts.

There are now officially three male characters whom I don't actively loathe, I could get used to this.

Which probably means (knowing my luck) that at least one of them is about to go bat-spit-crazy and get writen off.

Did I mention I really like Coleman, too?

Brings to Mind Norman Rockwell, Doesn't It?

Fresh off a holiday episode on Wednesday that was warm and inviting with nary a blood splatter in sight, General Hospital returned to form today.

From the romantic geniuses who brought you Soily, allow me to present . . . . The Chili Cook-Off, starring Sonny and Olivia, with special guest star (and secret son) Dominic Pirelli.

 

 

Dear Bob,

I will admit that Sonny and Olivia were mildly amusing today, and did appear to share a tiny bit of chemistry. 

 

However, this isolated incident does not erase the previous two and a half decades where-in  a.) Olivia lied to the entire world about her son's paternity because she was terrified of Sonny's violent lifestyle and  b.) Sonny behaved like a knuckle-dragging caveman with no respect for her wishes, insisting that he knew her feelings better than she did herself.

Seriously, it's gross and disgusting, and Dante does not approve.

 

Kindly cease and desist immediately.

Warm regards,

Nauseous in Nantucket

 

 

P.S.  I could have happily gone my entire life without hearing Lucky refer to Elizabeth as a whore (even in her day-dreams).

 

P.P.S.  Mentioning Bobbie in two consecutive episodes is nice, but not nearly as nifty as actually seeing her on-screen would have been.

 

P.P.S.  Diane rocks - - "I know we are in desperate economic times, but trust me, crime is still a thriving business"  Ha!

P.P.P.S.  I think I may be souring on Franco already, but that's probably a letter for another day.
