Observations
Friday July 3, 2009
Watching General Hospital yesterday, I had a few observations:
- The new Molly is cute. She looks like Alexis' daughter and Kristina's sister for sure.
- Kristina and Molly are not only half-sisters, but cousins as well! "Hi, this is my sister and my cousin, Molly." Anyone remember Chinatown?
- Olivia tells Johnny: "You're almost as old as my son." Yes, that's true. Her son as played by Dominic Zamprogna is 31, Brandon Barash is two months shy of 30, and Lisa LoCicero is 39. I frankly think Zamprogna looks too old to be Olivia's son. I figure it this way - and I already posted this - Maurice Benard is 46, so Olivia is around the same age, making it possible that she has a 30-year-old son. I think then they should have gotten a 46-year-old actress. By the way, my sister thinks Dominic looks like Nikolas.
- Michael (Drew Garrett) had such a pleasant look on his face as he pointed out the spot of Jason's accident and described the incident to Morgan, that I wasn't sure if he was planning on replicating the accident or what. He may have been directed that way to keep us guessing. It was a chilling moment because that Michael is a loose canon.
- If yesterday's shower is any indication, apparently Spinelli can't sing, though Bradford Anderson can! This should be really funny.
In reading over the comments regarding the "save our show" petitions and letters, I thought about what I would like to see more of/less of on General Hospital.
- I'm in agreement - less mob. Not no mob - the mob would be okay if the writers could come up with a really neat story, something besides a gang war. Bring back Faith Roscoe maybe.
- More comedy like they've been doing lately. I still remember Alexis and Ric getting lost in the woods.
- A private life for poor Jason - maybe have him vacillating between Elizabeth and Sam.
- More Quartermaines.

Comments
More Quartermaines… yes. And let’s let Uncle Mac work with the FBI to clear out the corruption in the PCPD and turn the police into a serious force in town, instead of a joke.
If they cops weren’t consistently shown as being corrupt and incompetent, the mob stories would be less tiresome.
I don’t agree with More Quartermaines – all they do is bicker! I like how the storyline is playing out between Michael and the Quatermines but I am totally sick of Tracey and the fights Quartermaines have with each other.
I also think the comedy has been going a little bit too far. I don’t think Maxie should be clowning around as she does with Spinelli.
