I Think I'm In Love

So, the recent tragic death of Jake (and it's subsequent bungling by the head writer) has left an toddler-sized hole in my cold, black heart.  And though the wound is still fresh, Guza has decided to introduce a new little cherub to our General Hospital family in the hopes of distracting the legions of irate fans with their pitchforks that have no-doubt taken up residence outside his house.

 

It will not work, I tell you.

 

It will not work.

 

Okay, maybe it's working a little bit . . .

 

 

 

Especially if the kid keeps giving Sonny this much-deserved stink-eye.

Explain How This Works To Me

 

As per usual, I have fallen a bit behind yet again this week - - I apologize for those who've moved on, but it's still only Tuesday in my General Hospital-world.  Forgive me if someone has already commented on this, but I find the following picture to be practically the funniest thing ever, and could not contain hearty guffaws as I watched my DVR today.

 

 

 

Normally, I try to assign captions to interesting screencaps, giving words to the expressions that the characters are making - - little Emma Scorpio Drake is an especially excellent subject in this area. 

 

Today, I'm thinking of a little change of pace, perhaps an audience-participation challenge - -

Shawn has never been much of a talker (I could see duct-taping Spinelli in a similar situation, in fact, I'd love to see that, regardless) and he doesn't seem like he'd be much of a screamer, so why exactly did they have the man's mouth taped shut? 

 

They want him to TALK, and they have his mouth taped CLOSED.  Dude, there is a reason that the baddies keep trying to take over Sonny's territory - - he ain't the brightest cappo in town.

I Failed to Anticipate This Silver Lining

 

For the past few months, one of the few bright spots in my General Hospital-viewing has been  Michael & Abby and their adorable therapy-sessions/slow build to possible romance. 

 

I have several reasons for enjoying this potential pair (sheer desperation being chief among them) - - 1.) Chad Duell is simply adorable and Andrea Bogart's low-key portrayal is not squicking me out from a cradle-robbing perspective. 2.) It's nice to have a break from the sturm and drang that is the rest of the show and focus on something innocent and sweet for a few minutes  3.) It's been a while since I cared about a teen romance (think Zander and Emily ten+ years ago) and last, but not least 4.) my keen anticipation of Carly's sure-to-be outrageous reaction to finding out that her baby boy is dating a stripper.

 

What I failed to anticipate however, was the immense joy that I would derive from Sonny's reaction to their relationship.  Yesterday, we got a sneak-peak - -

 

 

 

 

I'm aware that look isn't sparklingly different than Sonny's normal facial expression, but I choose to be optimistic none-the-less.  He looks a little worried, no?

 

At this point, Sonny really has no reason to object to Abby (unless the fish-net stockings gave her away as a stripper) or possibly, he has seen her dance in-person before.

 

 

Whatever the cause for Sonny's expression, I am now pinning all my hopes on Abby to save General Hospital for me and like-minded viewers - - if she winds up pregnant, I expect that particular revelation to take-out both Sonny AND Carly  in one fell swoop.

 

Oh happy day!
