General Hospital: Baby Avery & Silas

Image captured from GH YouTube Channel from episode aired on 1-27-15

How cute is this baby Avery?  I just had to get these shots up of her and share them.  What I can’t figure out is why Silas is raising her? 

He thinks Ava had his child (Kiki) and kept that child away from him all their lives.  Now, you and I know if you have been watching and paying attention that Ava and Nina’s mother knew each other from way back when and there is still a secret.

How much do you want to bet that secret is that Kiki is actually Nina and Silas’s child, NOT Ava and Silas’s?  I don’t know if they are going to wait for this secret until the new Kiki now?

So Silas takes this adorable baby to visit her incarcerated TV Mom and we get all kinds of adorableness from this baby.  We also get a much animated Silas.  You don’t normally see much animation from his so it was a nice change.  Ava lets him know she is going to be escaping.  Is Ava going to die in the jail break? 

Today’s scenes felt like a goodbye, not a see ya!  What do you think?  Is Ava going to save Sonny and then beg him to take care of their daughter? 

My Daily Observation is:  Between Maxie’s real life baby Harper and her on screen baby Georgie and baby Avery, there is so much cuteness on GH these days.  All we need is a puppy and some kittens.

General Hospital - Did anyone else hear Johnny call FLUKE by another name?

Image captured from GH YouTube Channel aired 1-15-15

This blog post is about Thursday’s episode. I could swear that while Johnny was talking to Luke on the Haunted Star that he called Fluke – MAC! 

Did anybody else here that or is Mac a name that Johnny just calls other people? Was this a clue for the viewers?  How could Johnny possibly know who Fluke is? What about Helena telling Nickolas that her partner was Luke?  Are they trying to make the viewers believe once again that Luke is having split personalities and if that were true, nobody would have to rush back to the old Spencer house to get Luke out of the basement?  

Are they really ending yet another week without telling us who FLUKE really is?  Shawn was following him so hopefully Shawn won’t get knocked over the head although I am pretty sure he will because Shawn is really not a good hit man.  Did you hear Johnny call FLUKE MAC?  

I want to say thank you to the people that are reading my blogs.  I will keep writing as long as you keep reading.  We are not always going to agree but I do hope that you enjoy most of what I write and I write to share with you.

General Hospital: Peek a boo Samantha

Image Captured via GH YouTube aired on 1-14-15

This blog post is about Wednesday’s episode.  How cute are Patrick and Samantha together?  I am really hoping that we get to see a full fledged love affair bloom here.  I know this won’t be popular with Patrick & Robin fans or Patrick and Sabrina Fans or Sam and Jason fans but well, tough. 
Robin isn’t there and Sabrina and Patrick never really had any hot chemistry.  They were just luke warm – no pun intended- together. 

Patrick and Sam have spark.  They are fun to watch.  When he caught her under the desk, it was a very cute scene, so much so I thought it deserved its own blog post.
He would help her investigate however, they need to get Jake to try and kill Sam and then get jealous so they can move along the storyline. 

Michael and Rosalie was cute together.  It looks like Helena might have her claws in Rosalie as well. Isn’t it peculiar how Franco, Nina and Silas are all off screen?  As a matter of fact, Kiki wasn’t getting much face time either, maybe that is another reason she thought about moving on? 
Her characters of Kiki has always been forced and convoluted because of the Prospect Park law suit.  When I think of the fun things they could have done with Todd, John and Starr.  What a shame ABC didn’t do the right thing by those shows which resulted in them shooting themselves in their own foot.  I often wondered why they didn’t bring AMC characters over and when all that mess came down, I was grateful that they hadn’t.  

I chose the dimple photo of Patrick because you don’t get to see his dimples as much as you get to see Sonny’s but Patrick has them and he sure knows how to use them. 
   

Are you looking forward to a Patrick & Samantha love affair?  I noticed today that he calls her Sammi.  Do you want to see Sam get back with Jason/Jake or do you want to see Jason/Jake with Carly?   

I want to say thank you to the people that are reading my blogs.  I will keep writing as long as you keep reading.  We are not always going to agree but I do hope that you enjoy most of what I write and I write to share with you.

BIZZARO Episode of General Hospital

Image Captured from GH YouTube Channel from episode aired 1-13-15

The soap fan is so used to watching soaps one way that when the producers and directors of General Hospital changed it up a bit, it totally freaked everyone out.   In Tuesday’s episode of General Hospital, the format changed to them going into the past to discuss the time when everyone was campaigning for Mayor for Felicia.     

They went back to New Year’s Eve, they jumped all around and viewers were having trouble keeping up with them. They wanted to establish what happened with the election; you know the storyline that seemed to get dropped quite suddenly when FLUKE came back into the picture.

In this one episode we learned that Lucy stole the ballot box, Duke asked Jordan to get rid of the ballot box to show her loyalty so Jordan and Shawn got rid of it.  Spencer saw them do it and made his driver jump in the harbor and retrieves it.  Nikolas found it and was trying to decide what to do with it.

They were taking Felicia to court for tampering with the votes but they cleared that up in one episode when Spencer explained that he had found the ballot box and that his Dad didn’t steal it. Not sure why they took the word of an 8 year old but whatever. 

The votes were counted and they claim Felicia lost but we now know that Felicia really won and that the Mayor and the Federal Agent somehow forced Nikolas into getting rid of the winning ballots that belonged to Felicia. 

This was record speed on a storyline COMPLETED in one day when we are waiting forever for the FLUKE storyline to be completed.  They are setting us up for something Oh, and Anna got fired by the new Mayor even though I am not sure someone can do those 2 minutes in office? 

Is the new Mayor and the Fed/New Police Commissioner also working for Helena?  IS EVERYONE working for Helena in Port Charles?

GH: Just a man and his Louisville Slugger

Image captured from GH YouTube Channel epi-aired 1-12-15

This is regarding yesterday’s episode.  It actually was pretty funny when FLUKE came up out of the basement with his baseball bat.  How can Bobbie not see that there is something wrong with this guy who is supposed to be her brother?  He so wanted to bash her head in with that baseball bat.  He knew about the tree climbing. 

Again now today, the writers seem to be on the fence about whether or not FLUKE is really look or someone from he and Bobbie’s long ago past like Mitch Williams. They are losing the viewers on this one.  I bet even the cast is sick of this storyline.  6 more days and this story-line is official one year old.  I wonder what was the longest storyline in soap history has been?  I bet this one is coming close. 

Do you remember any other story lines that seemed to drag on forever?  I will tell you one and GH was guilty of that one too.  THE ICE PRINCESS STORYLINE!!
