Wow! I can’t believe I don’t want GH to be cancelled.

I admit I have been gone from the show for awhile now. After the whole Sonny shooting Dante debacle I just couldn’t take it any more. Now since that time I have still managed to wet my curiosity now and again by reading www.despairintheafternoon.wordpress.com (I love those snarky ladies). And yes on occasion I would DVR an episode just to see if anything had changed (it hasn’t) or I would bring up Hulu and listen to a week’s worth of eps while I was working. I have an addiction and I realize that now. It was never so clear as to when I heard that One Life to Live and All My Children. I couldn’t believe it. I had grown up with these shows. I remember when Todd Manning raped Marty Saybrooke and Marco Dane was causing problems for Tina (I used to think he was so cute). I never followed AMC all that often but still I knew what it was about and of course like every other young woman I had a mad crush on Leo du Pres and thought Tad the Cad was the bees knees.
So needless to say I couldn’t help but to be worried that General Hospital was next. Ok so in recent years I have felt that the writing has gone to shit. And yes I cheered when I found out that Rebecca Herbst had been fired. No offense but I blame it all on the writers. She used to be one of my favorite characters but over the past 6 or so years the writers have turned her in to a whiny, self-righteous bitch and I wanted her gone. About the only time I could stomach her was when she was with Nikolas because it was the only time she wasn’t bitching or moaning about how frakked up her life was. Plus when Lucky Spencer was played by Greg Vaughn he went so much better with Sam McCall. What? He did. Then again, and yes I know that I may be the only who feels this way, but I love the idea of Maxie and Lucky being together now that he is once again being played by Jonathan Jackson. Let’s find Elizabeth someone new. Someone that allows her to have the strength and backbone she once had.
Now the one thing I have always agreed with since the show brought on Laura Wright is that her Carly belonged with Jasper Jax. They just made sense. Of course what makes sense to me and the rest of the viewing audience obviously doesn’t make sense to TPTB because those jackasses have fired Ingo Rademacher so that they could put Carly with Sonny again I guess. I say that because we all know he won’t be married to Brenda for very long. Speaking of his marriage to Brenda, once again the writers have proven (Garza you little bitch I’m referring to you) that they care nothing for history. Because they keep having Sonny spout off to Kristina that she is so much younger then Ethan and that it would be wrong for them to be together. Hey Jackasses! When Sonny & Brenda first got together she was 18 and he was much older (yeah we could count then too, morons) and he was taking over the mob. Let’s talk about that age difference shall we you misogynistic prick. Oh this show pisses me off! Correction: Sonny pisses me off!
Remember when GH used to love women? Yeah I do too. Now it just has a hard-on for the Sonny and Jason. Hell it even stopped with the Spinelli love. I miss Spinelli. I wish Bradford Anderson‘s pilot would have been picked up by TNT he deserves so much more than what he has been given lately. But even with all my gripes and my months of non-watching I have come to the realization that I don’t want my favorite/least favorite soap to be cancelled. I grew with Port Charles. It’s my home and as much as I may rebel against it I feel better knowing that it is there if I ever need it.
