General Hospital: “Confidence Man” 11/18/2009

  In a strange yet completely understandable way Nikolas turned out to be the more honest of him and Elizabeth.  It doesn’t surprise me in the least considering how many times Liz has lied in the past.  Will that twit ever learn?  I gotta say when she apologized to Sam for the horrible way she has always treated her I secretly hoped Sam would spit in her face.  Yeah I know Sam stood by while a troubled woman kidnapped Jake.  While that was a horrible decision on Sam’s part, she has paid for it over and over again.  While Liz has managed to wander freely safe in her ivory tower.  I for one am glad to see it begin to crumble.  Maybe, just maybe we will get to see a new, improved, and yes a little bit flawed character come out of all this.  I doubt it but hey a girl can dream can’t she?

Finally, finally, finally we got to see some of that spunky attitude we were first introduced too when Rebecca first came to PC.  When Rebecca first came on I was hesitant because I was not ever a NuEmily fan (by NuEmily I mean once Natalia Livingston started playing her), but Rebecca was all attitude and fire.  Every NuEmily wasn’t.  So little by little I began to like her.  I didn’t mind when they put her with Lucky and I was really happy when it was discovered she had been having a relationship with Ethan.  But then they had to go and frak it up by turning her into Emily 3.0 and once again I found myself yawning whenever she came on the screen.  But man oh man did she come screaming back when Nikolas confessed to using her.  I wonder if this means that Rebecca will be the one to tell Lucky about him & Liz.  It sure would be poetic justice if she did. 

So Lucky doesn’t plan on being the one to take down Jason, damn I was hoping it would be him.  At least Lucky 4.0 isn’t the push over he used to be.  And for once the PCPD is running around like a bunch of bumbling baffoons.  It is so cool that this time the cops know more about solving the case than Jason or Sonny realize.  They had better keep on their game because I have a feelling someone is going down for this.  My magic 8-ball sees a trial in the future for Sonny and at the last minute Michael being wracked with guilt will come forward and make a full confession.  Whose with me on this one?  Oh I am so torn between JaSam & LuSam.  I am really enjoying JaSam 2.0, but I have to admit a part of me would love to see them throw Lucky & Sam back together to see if any sparks fly. 

  For a split second I actually started to think that maybe, just maybe Lisa was on the up and up.  Boy that feeling didn’t last long.  So little Miss Lisa Niles came all the way to PC for a patient consulation?  Yeah right!  What does she think we are stupid?  The only reason why a girl brings up sex with an ex is if she is hoping to plant seeds of excitement in her ex.  That girl is up to something and I don’t like it.  Luckily though her return so far only seems to be reminding Patrick of fun past times and for all intent and purpose he likes to look back on those memories but he seems to be perfectly happy living with Robin in the present.  So I say come on Lisa show us what you have got, because this is one couple that can take it.  In fact the only one I can see having a major problem with all this is Robin and that probably isn’t becuase she doubts Patricks love for her but her own insecurities about love itself.  Insecurities are a bitch and they can kick your ass everytime.  In other GH news we actually got to see Matt for the 2nd day in a row.  Jason Cook must be on cloud nine for all the attention the writers are throwing his way (yes that was sarcasm). 

I used to be a big JoLivia fan, but after all that time she spent with Sonny telling him that all this wasn’t his fault and how he is a good man (wait a minute I think I have to go throw up, nope I’m ok) I honestly wanted to scream when she told Johnny she just wanted to be with him.   Are you kidding me with this crap?   That woman should just stop berating Dante about leaving PC and tell him the truth already.  She is just leading him to danger.  And on top of it all while she is trying to comfort Johnny she is also trying to convince him to drop his desire to bring Sonny to justice over killing Claudia.  Hey chick that was his sister, even if you didn’t like her show the guy some respect by standing by his side in all this mess and stop fretting over poor misunderstood Sonny.  For every strong capable woman they have on this show they have another sniveling weak minded woman. 

Johnny just can’t seem to catch a break.  First his lady love has been going behind his back and propping up another man’s ego.  Then his sister gets murdered and is told to deal with it.  And finally he has his friend Spinelli (the guy whose life he has saved on more than one occasion) believes he was the one who sent the picture.   I wonder if Spinelli is going to go running back to Stone Cold and tell him what he thinks to know is true?  If he does it shows how much he doesn’t consider Johnny to be a friend.  I have a sneaking feeling that Johnny won’t mind so much after seeing the picture of the dead body if his father (the amazingly evil Anthony Z.) goes through with the hit on Sonny.  According to all the Spoiler sites there is going to be a death soon and I for one hope Johnny doesn’t have a date with the Grim Reaper.  Because man oh man Brandon Barash has been knocking it out of the park in these past few months.
