I'm a big ABC soap opera fan and I will, from time to time, want to comment on my shows. Since I'm barely keeping tabs on what's going on with All My Children and seem to be fast-forwarding through more of One Life to Live than I am actually watching, this rant will be all about General Hospital.
One: Ric and Alexis? Brilliant pairing. I love these two actors together. Their bantering, their teasing, their competitiveness - hysterical. The only problem I have with this is where is it going? Ric is clearly working Alexis as part of his vendetta against Sonny, like he wants to get close to baby Kristina so he can rub it in Sonny's face that he has some control over Sonny's daughter? Whatever it is, I just don't see it lasting long. If Elizabeth couldn't be manipulated by Ric and saw his true nature, how are we supposed to believe that Alexis won't? Alexis has many issues but naivete is not one of them. I just don't buy it. I'd like to have someone be able to help Ric get past that vendetta and maybe it could be Alexis, but I'm not convinced that's where the writers are headed. Alexis has had her own share of family vendettas to deal with so she has experience to help Ric get past his if they wanted to go there. Regardless, I'm going to continue tuning in to that storyline.
Two: Mary, Emily, Nikolas, "Connor," whatever... Who cares? (Although I do love the way Alcazar keeps giving "Connor" lame missions that will either get him killed or get him to find the truth about who he is.) My real question with this storyline is why the heck does Lucky not have a woman? Okay, so I readily admit I have a bit of a crush on Greg Vaughan so I'm biased, but once you get past his unfortunate name and the creepy tattoo that covers half his back, can't anyone see how CUTE he is? That Summer thing last year was a joke and he gets one kiss with Emily before she runs for the hills? I just don't get it.
Three: Courtney and Jax. Another cute couple and a couple I actually was rooting for from the time the two of them had scenes together when Courtney first hit town. But why rush it with this stupid bet? We all know Jax is going to win. But I'm sure he'll donate the money anyway. Why couldn't they just work together, slowly get to know each other and eventually fall in love? I still am annoyed about how we got no buildup to the Courtney and Jason romance. Speaking of the two of them, however, I have the perfect way to get these two back together, if anyone is listening. It involves a car accident, a blow to the head and Jason waking up as his old self again, with no recollection of Sonny or the mob or the code or any of that crap that led Courtney to leave him in the first place. How cute would that be?
