General Hospital: Week in Review for April 18, 2011

Sonny Corinthos, Anthony Zacchara, General HospitalWhen it comes to looking back on the best, craziest, most dramatic moments on General Hospital this week, we know what we think. But what we really want to know is what YOU think? What were your picks for this week's funniest moment? Or best performer? We've got some talking points to get you all started, but give us your own picks in the comments below!

 

Funniest Moment: Sonny's surprise party, only for the visual of big, bad Sonny celebrating his birthday with the likes of Molly and Morgan and Kristina. (Also, it led to another awesome Carly/Brenda face-off.

 

WTH? Moment: Michael was arrested for the murder of Brandon. Seriously, not again!

 

Best Moment:Sonny and Anthony have a face-off in prison. What a great re-introduction to the tensions between these two mob bosses.

 

Performer of the Week: Brandon Barash as Johnny Zacchara. Between his amazing face-off with Carly and his deep, character-exploring conversation with Lulu, Barash was really able to dig into just why Johnny's doing what he's doing. He's messed up from a life in the mob, but mostly he's just tired of fighting it.

 

Why We Love General Hospital This Week: A pair of scenes on Friday between characters we're pleasantly surprised are so close: Sam and Carly (it's always dangerous to assume Carly will ever keep a female friend for very long, but it was sweet to see her be so supportive) and Kristina and Ethan (nice that he's forgiven her for those false accusations of abuse).

 

So let's hear YOUR favorite GH moments this week!

I loveee Jasam, but i don't think this is the right time for them to try to have a baby. It wouldn't be right because Jake died (which should had never happened), but now it just would seem like he wants a child to make up for his time lost with Jake. If the writers are going to do this, they should have done it earlier, now isn't the right time.

general hospital was a little boring, but since zacharra is back, it will be more fun. and all we need now is franco. i hope jerry isn't really dead, because he's my favorite bad boy. the portrayer, sebastian, they should just give him a recurring role on the show. i don't like what they are doing to luke spencer. someone else should've cause the accident. but otherwise, it was a great performance between the two actors jonathan jackson and anthony geary. and jason and sam, they shouldn't have a baby right away, jason is still grieving over jake. they should wait awhile. it doesn't make sense, carly is pushing sam to have a baby with jason right after jake's death. i have no idea what is wrong with the writers on this show. i mean everything was okay until they decide that jason and sam getting pregnant right after jake's death.

Anthony pretending to be dead or asleep and then jumping up to scare Johnny was the funniest thing I have seen anywhere in a long time.

I wondering what is going on with the writing at GH, history of the characters are no longer important, stoylines are being completely plot driven and rushed through. Sonny and Brenda's wedding had GH in #2 slot for ratings which it hasn't been in for many of years but the honeymoon romance never happened and the honeymoon was cut short due to Jake's death, a storyline which should never have happened in the first place but was rushed through in the end to now hop into the Jason should have a baby with Sam storyline. Opening up, the accidents happen in life no matter what. So what, if your job in life is to murder people for the mob and you have a psycho serial killer obsessed with you and anyone connected with you. Your life isn't anymore dangerous than anybody else's so go ahead and bring another kid into the circle. But wait, wasn't it Franco who sent Carter after Micheal in prison. Well, I'm sure we are supposed to figure that Franco will not obsess over Jason's kid if he has one with Sam. In Jake's death storyline we hardly even saw Elizabeth. The funeral wasn't even shown. Jason didn't even go to his own son's funeral and why wasn't the fact that he was a Quartermaine brought up to introduce some great scenes between Monica, Edward and Jason? Joccelyn's illness was also rushed through and Jax was hardly shown. We didn't see Bobby who being Carly's mother could have shown her daughter support and could've tied it back into a nod to the past Bj/Maxie storyline. Not to mention it is Bobby's brother who was driving the car that killed Jake. Too bad we are too busy fast forwarding off into the Luke's alcoholism story.
Micheal joining the Zacchara's crime family have Carly, Jason, and Sonny in an uproar but they are the ones who chose to raise him in that lifestyle but now say it is a bad way of life. Go figure, why he doesn't believe them. In the same breath Jason is talking about all he gave up for the mob and all Micheal had to endure being raised in that lifestyle he is also talking about raising another child in the mob lifestyle.
The one storyline they haven't rushed is the one that needs to be over with, Lisa's obsession with Patrick Drake. Who is now for whatever reason giving drugs to Sonny's daughter in the form of herbal vitamins.
Enough said.....

I'm not understanding why some people think it is wrong for Brenda to keep people away from Lucian at this time. It is only supposed to be a week or two since he came to live with them. This is a 3 year old who's parents were murdered and he is now surrounded by strangers in a strange place. Everything he knows is now gone. Brenda trying to let Lucian adjust to his new surroundings before throwing more new people and new things at him makes sense. How much is a 3 year old supposed to deal with at one time? Brenda didn't say she wanted to keep Sonny's kids away from Lucian forever, just that she wanted to give Lucian time to adjust to his new surroundings then have a family get together to introduce Lucian to the family. Per the story, Lucian hasn't even adjusted to Brenda and Sonny yet.
I do think Brenda needs to get the DNA test done but i think the pain she has endured over the years over the loss of her child is a factor in her putting off the test. Maybe she is worried what the test will report because she wants to be a mother so badly.
What I don't get is Carly coming into Brenda's home yet again, insulting, yelling and threatening. Brenda has tried to make a truce with this woman for the families sake but now she just needs to take a hint from Robin and Sam, just slap Carly in the mouth the next time she comes in talking trash.
Same goes for Jax. We know Jax hates Sonny and it all started with Brenda but if Jax wants to insult Sonny and yet again warn Brenda about Sonny's lifestyle he shouldn't go to Sonny's home to do it.
Jax and Carly have no clue what they want day to day. Jax supposedly hates Sonny but he married Sonny's sister and then Sonny's ex wife. He seems to go out of his way to stay connected to Sonny one way or another. Carly supposedly hates the danger of Sonny's world and had Jax adopt Morgan to keep him away from Sonny but still wanted Jason (the mob enforcer-hit man) to stay in her children's lives. One point, Franco's obsession is with Jason not Sonny, so i would say contact with Jason also brings danger but now she is once again ok for Sonny to be in her children's lives. Neither Jax or Carly make any sense at all.

I am with you. All this adv is for the birds. I want to hear what the viewers think about the show.. Am glad Sam amd Jason will be able to have a baby, but Jason could not hear Sam good news because of Michael , He needs tofind out how it is to be in the mob. Jason has got let Michael fend for himself.

What's up with all the advertisement??? I thought comments were screened..if so why are these advertisements being allowed which has nothing to do with the show itself..or maybe the opinions of the viewers are not wanted!!! If this is the case why not change the comment post to advertisement post!!! And by the way how about new writers for the show because they don't have a clue as to what the viewers like!
