Well yesterday’s GH was simply fantastic. With all those twists and turns in the plot I almost thought I was on some huge Cedar Point roller coaster despite my fear of heights and the simple fact that I have never once been on one, haha. But needless to say GH got me all turned upside down in a roller-coaster exciting rush sort of way. At first I was so confused watching Connie and Johnny go back and forth and tell their stories. I thought, how could they both think they did it? Then Johnny made it all clear, and even did the unthinkable. Anthony Zaccharra is now dead and the blood is on his own grandson’s hands. I am sad to see Bruce Weitz (Anthony) leave the show, I have loved his villain portrayal since his first day on GH. Who would have thought, a main character monster would actually go through with killing another main character on this show? And his own flesh and blood nonetheless. Johnny has always had a soft sweet side, unlike his ever so cold Grandfather, Anthony. Yesterday he shocked us all by coming out with how he plotted to shoot out Anthony’s tires, and convinced Connie to take the blame. What is going to happen to Johnny now? Dante looked like he was on Johnny’s tail in the preview, but that doesn’t mean it won’t take forever to come out. How long will Johnny be able to hide Anthony’s body? I don’t see how this man won’t be spending some time in jail. From shooting out Anthony’s tires and inadvertently killing Cole and Hope, to convincing Connie to lie, and then ultimately killing Anthony, how can he NOT end up in jail? Anything can happen on GH though. Brandon Barash confirmed that he is not leave GH, so maybe we will get to see him in lock up for a while. Oh boy, Carly is NEVER going to take him back once all this comes out. She put her trust in him not only romantically, (which he failed her miserably), but also as a person. She defended him to everyone and swore up and down Johnny wasn’t the one to shoot out Anthony’s tires. After all, she was his alibi. They were together that night, but she was fast asleep when he slipped out. Carly won’t take this lightly, she isn’t one to be made a fool of. If you’re a Carly and Johnny fan, I fear there isn’t much hope for reconciliation. I just can’t wait to keep watching.
The Davis Girls Stick Together
Kristina (Lindsey Morgan) is coming home to PC in just a few days, and now more than ever will The Davis Girls really need each other. Sam disclosed her deep secret about Franco and the baby to Molly, and like any good sister, Molly was there for Sam to listen and comfort. Haley Pullos is such a good actress and is just so lovable. She brings innocence and intelligence to Molly which is something fresh for a child character. It makes me happy that Molly isn’t a snotty, bratty, defiant little child. It is nice to see a well behaved teen on a soap. (Except for sneaking around with TJ, but that isn’t so bad). Hopefully Molly’s current actions with TJ won’t go any further than what they have. So let’s leave the bad girl image to her sister Kristina! We know that Kristina has done things in the past just to get under Sonny’s skin and to get his attention. Now that she is back from college, she will be more defiant than ever. This trouble maker will need the love and support of her sisters, and I am sure Sam will have to intervene in some arguments between Alexis and Kristina. I am really excited to see these girls working together in their upcoming story lines. Alexis, Kristina, and Molly will be able to help Sam through this rough time because that’s what the Davis Girls do!

Is Dr. Ewen Keenan Going to Recover?
Ever since Connie clocked Dr. Keenan over the head and put him in the ICU at GH, fans have been asking the question, “Is Dr. Ewen Keenan leaving GH?” Although there has been no confirmation, only speculation and assuption that has lead me to believe that no, Dr. Keenan will not be leaving GH and the actor who portrays him, Nathin Butler, is not going anywhere. Bulter will be tweeting with fans LIVE today during the East and West Coast airing of General Hospital. In my opinion, I don’t think the actor/character would be departing if he is just starting to get to know his fans better. If you have a Twitter account, follow @NathinButler and chat with him this afternoon. If you don’t have Twitter, sign up!

Will Liz and John McBain be the Last Straw for Sam and Jason?
At this point, many JaSam fans are getting discouraged, and maybe have even given up on their favorite couple. But I see this time as a time for Jason and Sam to really fall apart, so that when they can pull themselves back together it will be better than ever. With all the things that Sam and Jason have been though together, from dodging bullets, Sam losing her baby, to Franco kidnappings, and (potential) rape, I am certain that Sam talking to McBain, and Jason talking to Liz is NOT what will keep these two apart. Jason keeps talking about Sam turning to McBain as if it’s the most filthy and unforgivable thing that a wife could do. I am really getting sick of how Jason is acting out of character. He has always been smarter than this. Sonny has always been written as the stubborn, hard headed, and often wrong one. Not Jason. He has always been rational and intuitive. The Jason I have gotten to know and love, the Jason that belongs with Sam, would understand where his wife was coming from when she was torn about telling him about Heather’s news. He would realize how most of the times Sam ran into McBain were simply coincidences and nothing more. But he on the other hand, has deliberately gone to Elizabeth to confide in. I have been patiently waiting for the truth to be revealed, the truth (that I am hoping for) of Sam and John McBain being siblings comes out sooner than later. I am pleased to see that when Sam and McBain meet, there are absolutely no romantic or flirtatious actions between the two of them. This helps me to believe that they will end up being related. Liason fans shouldn’t be getting too excited in my opinion. Although Jason is confiding in Liz, I have not seen one split second of attraction or rekindling of a past relationship with these two. As for now, I will endure through the pain Jason and Sam are going through, and the troubles they are facing because I am certain that when they get through it they will come out and prove to be th esupe couple that they really are.
Jason Cook (Matt Hunter) is Leaving GH
Jason Cook who plays Dr. Matt Hunter, brother to Dr. Patrick Drake is leaving General Hospital next month. The actor has projects lined up for this Summer. And if his project with Bradfor Anderson (Spinelli) gets funded, he will be busy with that too. Cook was going to take months off this Summer for these other projects, but now he is just exiting the show. There isn’t word if he will be back or not, it has been left up in the air. What will this mean as far as the story line goes? How will Dr. Matt leave and how will Patrick take this? I am wondering if he will go to jail for killing Lisa. Is there hope for Maxie and Spinelli to get back together?

General Hospital Fans: Determined and Loyal
Soap opera fans have been known for their extreme loyalty to the genre and their specific favorite soap, characters, couples, and actors. In light of the recent cancellations of ABC Soaps All My Children and One Life to Love, we have been blessed with the renewal of the last ABC soap standing, General Hospital. Now more than ever, GH fans are going out on a limb to prove their loyalty to the show and all it entails to prove that this iconic show should be kept around for years to come. Fans are tweeting, blogging, watching, DVRing, and engaging in anything GH related, as much as they can. I came across a recent article in examiner.com written by Linda McCloud. This article states how GH fans are reaching out to it’s sponsors and letting them know that they appreciate their sponsorship and to show that appreciation, they are supporting the products advertised by the sponsors. I think it’s such a wonderful idea to give support which will come full circle. To check out the article in full, click here.
Sam and Carly Friends?
We all saw the bonding moment that Sam and Carly had on Tuesday’s 5/2/12, and I for one thought it was a great idea to finally have these two women interact like civil adults instead of screeching cats. Carly to Sam: “Oh God…I think we just had a girlfriend moment.” Building a friendship between Sam and Carly would probably spark enough interest as the beginning of a brewing new couple. These two have been at opposite ends of the spectrum for so many years, seeing them finally let their walls down and develop trust and understanding with one another would be really fun and interesting. I am all for watching friends hang out and have each other’s backs. We get to see it once in a while, then it seems to fade. Maxie and Lulu, Alexis and Diane, and even Jason and Sonny. Back in the day we had Carly and Courtney and I loved the way they would just eat, gossip, and hang out like girlfriends do. Obviously everyone loves the fighting and the drama, but it’s also nice to see a lighter side of things a midst all the darkness. Sam and Carly are going through tons of dark drama and maybe the light of a new understanding and the possibility of a friendship can help them get through their hard times.
