"General Hospital": Week in Review
Best Moment: Michael being delivered to the Quartermaines. Not only was this a storyline that's been building for over ten years, but the payoff has thus far been pretty great. Starting with the typical Quartermaine reception Michael got: Tracy being awful, Edward being half-domineering and half-triumphantly joyful, and Monica -- natch -- reminding everybody just who owns that mansion. And then the next day, seeing just how easily Michael's going to have the run of that household. The Qs would do well to look at how far Lulu Spencer has come and consider letting Tracy off the leash with Michael, unless they want a totally uncontrollable monster on their hands.
Performer of the Week: In a surprise move, our Performer of the Week honors will be given to ... Jax's new haircut. Well done, sir!
Why We Love "General Hospital" This Week: It's still a totally bizarre storyline -- Nikolas falling in love with his dead wife's twin; Rebecca falling in love with her dead sister's husband who is also her mark -- but that scene between Rebecca and a drunk-ass Ethan reminded us that when performed well, even the craziest storylines can work. Much credit to Natalia Livingston and Nathan Parsons (and Tyler Christopher) for bringing this story home.

Loved the Alexis/Diane scenes, Kristina was being a real brat to her mom but I understand where she was coming from cause she idolizes her mother even though she acts out. Can't wait for them to get through this rough time, Robin and Patrick are only making things worse because of their meddling :rme.
I am also really upset about the reruns on holidays; not only the holidays themselves, but last Friday they showed reruns.
What is going on? I have watched GH and OLTL since they first started in 1968, and they used to be shown on Thanksgiving & Christmas, as well as all of the other holidays.
I always loved that!!!! After all, they are all pre~filmed, what is the reasoning behind the reruns?
I agree with the person that said soap fans don't like reruns on the holidays. That is a bummer to do that to us. Please reconsider on letting us have a full week even on holidays. Hate to miss anything and then have to wait till the first of the week to get back on track. Love that General Hospital but sick of the Emily/Rebecca, Nicolas stuff. This is old news and needs to be put to rest. Let Nick get over it and forget it. New story lines on someone else other than her ghost or twin sister. BORING......
ok where is the previews?
I loved the Alexis and Diane scene. They always are so great. As well as Alexis's explanation of what led to her affair with the Mayor: "I'd just found out my husband was sleeping with my daughter, I was undergoing chemo, I was high ... " My complaints about this storyline would have to be the timeline From what I can remember of those blackout scenes ALEXIS WAS EXTREMELY ILL FROM CHEMO AND JASON TOOK HER BACK TO THE HOSPITAL AND THEN ALEXIS WENT TO THE MC WHERE SONNY AND KRISTINA WEREAND ENDED UP STUCK THERE FROM THE BLACKOUT. WHEN DID SHE FIT IN SLEEPING WITH THE MAYOR?
I am enjoying Brandon Barash a lot, especially his scenes with Jason. I hope for more.
And I think I may like the actor who plays Dominic, so far so good.
I loved the scenes with Jason and Monica and Edward on Monday’s episode. I also loved Jason and Elizabeth and Jake on the previous Friday's episode. Do you see a pattern here? Family, love and romance. I would like more of that for the character of Jason Morgan. GIVE HIM ELIZABETH, JAKE AND THE QUARTERMAINES!!
GET RID OF SPINALLI. . . CAN'T STAND HIM. . . NO REAL WOMAN COULD EITHER. KILL OF CLAUDIA. . . MAKE SONNY DO IT. JAX IS SO STUPID - RICH BUT STUPID. . .GET JASON A HOT GIRLFRIEND. . . ALREADY SICK OF MICHAEL'S TEMPER TANTRUMS

WHERE'S LUKE?
REBECCA AND NICHOLAS DON'T MATCH BRING BACK THE NURSE
GET RID OF SPINALLI. . . GIVE MAXI A HOT BODY
I agree that I do not appreciate them running RERUNS on holidays when we are off work. I rearranged my whole afternoon to get to watch it yesterday, July 3rd.
Also, on Thursday night putting it an hour late (10 pm CST), when I need to go to bed because I get up at 4:20 am CST makes it too hard to stay up and watch. This has made me rethink watching the show at all.
Okay! I am in total agreement with you guys about the whole Ethan and Rebecca thing...I really wasn;t feeling this story until BAMM! that scene where he had her pinned to the bed and the drunkeness and the sadness and the desperation in his voice! WOW! Great writing and acting on all levels!
Alexis and Diane of course but I want to mention the Jolivia combe....LOVE IT! I just believe and don't get me wrong...certain people/couple combos bring the heat!!!!
Lastly, speaking of HEAT! When are we getting some JASAM! UGHHHHHHH!
Where is the message board?
