Funniest Moment: Spinelli's been in kind of a dark place lately, what with plotting revenge against Dante and all. So it was a nice change of pace to see him back to what he does best: goofily making powerful people uncomfortable and making up nicknames. Theo Hoffman, you may secretly be known as "The Balkan," but Spinelli has now also dubbed you "The Bald Bloviator" (and/or "The Bombastic Braggart).
WTH? Moment: You guys! We were JUST getting used to Ali! She was really levelheaded about the whole failed-matchmaking with Michael thing. And Kristina could use a low-drama friend, for sure. And now, just as we were starting to like her, she's a casualty of the bus crash. Cruel world!
Best Moment: The bus crash. We loved how the bus crash made for some unlikely heroes. In particular, Steve, Michael, and Molly stepped up when the chips were down. And then after they were rescued, we got some really amazing scenes between Dante and his mom. We're so happy Olivia made it through!

*Highlight this week: Bravo! to Dominic Zamprogna for his emmy worthy performance as Dante at Olivia's bedside waiting to see if she would live! The Dante/Olivia scenes were so emotional and powerful I choked up and couldn't stop crying. His nuanced acting through a range of emotions culminating in Dante's tears and clinging onto Lulu for comfort and support were poignant and heartbreaking!!! Dominic Zamprogna’s acting is off the charts phenomenal every day but these scenes just blew me away. DZ/Dante=Best reason to watch GH!
*It was about time and great to see the love of Dante's life and rightful partner Lulu finally at his side comforting him and holding him as he laid his head on her stomach and wrapped his arms around her holding her tightly. DZ, LLC, JMB -great chemistry-hit it out of the park-would love to see more of both Dante & Lulu, Dante & Olivia, Olivia & Lulu and scenes with all three as a ‘family’ together! Have been sorely missing Dante & Lulu in scenes together-wish there was a great Valentine’s Day date coming up?!
*Close second highlight of the week is a tie for me. Loved Dante bear-hugging Michael that showed the depth of the bond that has developed between them and adore their scenes together. Maybe Michael needs to interact with Dante’s mom as well to hear more about his big brother! That would be something to look forward to, having Olivia as a mother figure after Michael sees the ugly side of Carly.
*Also tied as runner up highlight of the week: Bravo! to Lisa LoCicero and Scott Reeves flying high as Olivia and Steve, next great couple to look forward too! Smokin...Also loved the scenes with Dante & Steve this week, looking forward to more scenes of Steve courting Olivia and Dante’s reaction and involvement with his mother finding her own love of her life finally!
*Noteworthy: Am digging Michael and Abby-she is making him smile again and CD is rockin’ Michael...
*Noteworthy: Sonny sticking up for Dante with Theo. Looking forward to more of the Dante/Sonny bonding in 2011! DZ & MB rock their scenes together!
*Best thing about the week: 3 wonderful days overall all around great GH whole show drama with large integrated cast of characters -great story, great writing, off the charts acting: T, W, Th Jan 4,5,6 -what a great kickoff to 2011! Now if it could just keep this up...
I absolutely loved Jason with his son Jake. And loved seeing Jason once again in scenes with Elizabeth. So much history there that it's a crime to have been ignored for as long as it was.
It would have made much more sense to have Elizabeth there also. Jason and Elizabeth have so much history and friendship that it just didn't make sense for them to have time alone together with there son.
Jason NEEDS to spend much more time with his REAL family (Elizabeth, Cam and Jake). It is what has been shown to the viewer of General Hospital over and over for years. That being, the character of Jason Morgan has wanted them as his family for years (Jason wanted Elizabeth and even Cam for his family long before Jake was a thought).
General Hospital please do not ignore the long and rich history of Jason and Elizabeth. Don't let this slip through your hands. It's time to tell the story of Jason and his one TRUE family WITH Elizabeth. The woman who has been show over the years to be his one TRUE love.
Not to mention it would make a soapy story and tie the entire canvas together by doing the following: Tying the hospital and the mob. Connecting the Founding families (the Quartermaine's and the Hardy's) and so much more. So much potential and storytelling is there, it's a shame to waste.
Nothing else makes sense unless you expect the viewer to ignore the history of what has been written over and over for so many years for these two(Jason/Elizabeth).
The Maxie and Matt banter was my favorite part of the Bus Crash.
The scenes between Dante' and Olivia, as well as, Lulu after the crash were phenomenal. Dominic Zamprogna is an incredible actor and it would be great to see him and his character in more scenes with Lulu, Olivia, Lucky, and even Luke to name a few so his talents can be matched to others of the same caliber on the show.
I hope the rumors of Lisa/Olivia leaving the show are not true. I really enjoy the chemistry between Lisa/Scott and would like to see Olivia and Steve hook-up!
I saw Thursday's episode just passing through the channel, it is nice to see Jason/Jake/Sam having family time. That was priceless, now make it happen for poor little Emma/Patrick?Robin. Theo/Brenda/ DAnta drama is getting better. Lisa's high school act is desperate and immature. The devious acts she show n will catch up with her this year. this ugly acts show how ugly she is as a person and her looks. She will end up with the new not so handsome Dr Terrell. They deserve each other. Now write them off already.l
The best moment for me would have to be the Jason and Elizabeth scenes! Their scenes were so amazing. Becky Herbst and Steve Burton played those scenes wonderfully. The Jason and Jake moment was incredibly touching and I hope to see more moments between Jason, Elizabeth and Jake.
And I have to give kudos to Laura Wright for Carly's reaction to finding out Abby is a stripper. LOL. Those were great scenes.
Please, Carly, back off Michael & Abby!!! He's an adult!! Brenda, get a grip, you used to be fun to watch!
I think the baby that Brenda had is Sonny's. When I saw that new Doctor show up I figured he was going to be no good too. Today he joined up with his good friend lady doctor who wants to make trouble for Patrick and Robin.
I started watching GH again because Brenda came back but I am actually starting to dislike her character. I think I’m just watching now to see what has become of Brenda’s and Aleksander or Dante’s(I don’t really think it was Dante’s but that would put a nice loop in things, I think he offered to say he was that father because of the risk of Balken)Theo is annoying and pushy and they need to find out who he is. Carly is still a major B, I want Abby to bus' her up. I want anyone to bus' up Lisa or just walk in on her evil deeds and get her the hell out of GH. It was so great to see Jason with Jake he deserves to be that happy and I am not sure how much I like Sam, there is something she lacks...if she loves Jason she just needs to love him and be there with him, even if Brenda is around.
Carly back off of michael and let Mr. Hoffman a.k.a. the bulkan.Take BRENDA AWAY!! Let her go please.Carly must tell and provide evidence to Sonny about Brenda being the mother of his grandchild. You Guys are making Sonny look "not so smart", help him! Wouldn't he think its strange that Donte is ALWAYS accompiying Brenda.
Let Jason and Sam spend more time with his beloved son.Let Sam and Jason have a baby of their own loins and raise it themselves....without fear!
Let Lisa's devious plots backfire on her and her mysterious pediactric doctor friend!
