To basically sum up this past week on GH, people were trying to
control each other, kill each other, plotting against each other or
have sex with each other. And that was pretty much it.
I'm thinking maybe Kristina won't turn out to be as bad as we
think. Although she does reckless things, she seems to believe her
actions are for the greater good of someone else. That's actually a
good quality to have as long as she doesn't take it too far by
having limits set for her. Michael is still recovering from head
trauma and now he lashes out at unexpected moments and does
something really stupid before he even realizes where he is. That in
itself could make for interesting story, if not a frustrating
situation for his parents. But where do you draw the line on
unintentionally acting out and doing it deliberately?
I have to say I am really enjoying Martha Byrne as Andrea and
that's mainly because Andrea is such a departure for Byrne's
previous role. But don't think my antennae didn't shoot up in
interest when Ric walked in and Andrea announced that "their plan"
is going south. Plan? Too bad Ric will soon be a non-factor as he
just essentially vanishes from Port Chuck - ah, so much missed
potential. Anyway, for her own reasons, Andrea wants the lawsuit
settled out of court so her cheating louse of a husband won't have a
mark left on his political record. Robin summed it up best when she
said that maybe he deserved it and Andrea was far too generous in
that regard. But the single thing wrong with this story is that it
involves mainly new and not yet established characters. How much
more interesting would it have been if Mac were at the heart of the
scandal? He is the police chief and no one would've seen it coming,
to say nothing of the fact that it could've given John York one hell
of a story. But I digress. We have what we have, so hopefully the
sparks of interest will continue.
Let's see. We had hot sex scenes with Johnny and Olivia, Emily -
sorry, Rebecca and Nikolas, and Sonny and Claudia. And the kids are
out of school too! Just kidding. Johnny and Olivia were bringing the
pretty, the other two couples were inducing the yawns. Sonny says
something about this never happening again, and it's too bad that
Claudia hired some guy named Dominic to take out Jason. No one can
take out Jason. He's indestructible. Talk about a waste of time and
effort. Dominic is kind of cute and I'm waiting for Claudia to
realize this and give him a roll too because she probably will, if
she doesn't kill him first. Meanwhile, Nikolas is trying to recreate
Cinderella or some mess with Rebecca and she even leaves her slipper
behind when the clock strikes twelve. Zzzzzzzz. As for Johnny and
Olivia, smoking! Yow. So pretty. So pretty. Her son is roughly the
same age as Johnny but oh well. Who says Johnny can't have a real
woman instead of one or two drama queens?
You know you're in trouble when you realize that you have pretty
much summed up the entire week of shows in three short paragraphs. I
did kind of like Dominic and Morgan interacting. Dominic was going
to kidnap Morgan and Morgan started spouting off about being Sonny's
son. Oh look, Redrum is back. Oh wait... Anyway, they actually ended
up having a pretty good scene and it was kind of cute the way little
Morgan stood up to this wanna-be thug, who may call himself Dominic
now but my guess is that his real name is Dante. I also laughed when
Claudia tried to smother him with a pillow and he tossed her off
like she was nothing. God, that woman used to kick so much ass and
now she's practically tripping over the dumb things she does.
