The GH Official Thread

[MickeysMommy]

From daytime confidential

Here's the Scoop!

**Michael opens his eyes and gives Carly hope! From what I see, Michael is still sent to a facility just outside of Port Chuck. But he will open his eyes first. Carly may just be a one woman fighting machine for her son as it seems everyone else has given up except her. Jason will be there to help calm Carly down. What about Jax? He should return today ane be by Carly's side but he'll try hard to get his wife to come to terms with Michael's prognosis.

I told the LuSam Fans not to give up just yet and now I am seeing some
SPOILERS that suggest another break-up for these two is on the horizon. Remember Sam gets fed up with Lucky's need to be involved in Elizabeth's life. Does this have Sam ending things with Detective Spencer? Is this when she gets a little too close to Ian and spills the big secret? Are they hitting the sheets? RUMORS say Jason, Lucky and Jerry all try to warn Sam away from Dr. Devlin.

I mentioned Jerry telling Alexis the truth... well as much of the truth as Jerry Jacks can tell. It looks like its another overheard conversation that has Alexis demanding Jerry tell all. She'll overhear Jerry with Dr. Devlin and Alexis expects an explanation.

The Kate-Maxie connection... is it the love of fashion, heart conditions or missed opportunities that has these two bonding? RUMORS say Maxie gets an opportunity to leave Port Charles behind but will her new found friendship with Spinelli have the wounded blonde one staying put? What advice will Kate give her?

Sonny goes looking for Michael's shooter. How? By calling off all his guards and making himself the bait. ZaCrazy! Sonny goes to see Anthony and Papa Crazy threatens to kill Claudia if Johnny doesn't do as told.

Carly tells Sonny to stay away from her boys. She doesn't want Sonny anywhere near Michael or Morgan. Will AJ get a mention? Jason will try to play mediator but a lead on the shooter has his attention elsewhere. Sonny attends the Haunted Star party hoping to get information on the Zaccharas.

Sad split for Liason? I'm hearing its a tender kiss goodbye for this angst ridden couple. Its not for long though as the RUMORS surrounding the Liason Marriage say it happens in the early parts of May.

Claudia and Jason are trapped together after a hit gone bad. Remember I mentioned this is when Claudia sees that she and Jason are alot alike. Claudia attempts to lead Jason away from her and Johnny as possible suspects. She may leave there with a better understanding of Jason Morgan but more scared of him as well.

Jake's 1st Birthday! Is there a party? Will his daddy get to see him?

Fanfic or SPOILER??? You be the judge. I mentioned a week or two ago that Anna's return may not be all about her new status as grandma. I mentioned then that Anna may have a role in Ian's storyline. Online rumblings say that Ian could be the son of Duke Lavery and that something about Ian's appearance tips Anna off. Could it be that tattoo we saw so much of? Fanfic or SPOILER? You be the judge.**

 

[PhotobearSam]

I have finally figured it out. After watching the last few episodes on my DVR, I came to the conclusion that what I like is the layering in the show and not the major story lines.


I was watching Alexis and Diane, then Diane and Max, Mike, Bobbie, etc and that's when it hit me. I love the back stories, I love when they give Monica a little air time, I wish we saw Alfred more, let them give a bit of air time to Mac, I miss seeing Audrey, I love when they show Alice...this is what makes it fun. In the last year or so, they have cut way back on these characters...It's less fun.

I say, give Scott a storyline already...What a waste of talent when they don't use him. Let me see more of Max and Milo...I loved when Milo was chasing after Lulu because we got to see him...I love the Maxie as an assistant to Kate...Love the interaction and the whole different side to Maxie as well...I LOVE SPINELLI!!!

I want to see more interaction at Ruby's, more girls nights at Jake's, I want to see more of Lainie and Dr. Lee...More of all the characters...It's the weave and not the basket that is appealing.

I remember trying to watch the Bold and the Beautiful but there is only a very short list of characters and I found them boring.

Well, there you have it. I thought about this a lot...at 2 am this morning. If the writers ever read this post...Give us more, not less...and BTW, I think nobody cares about a MOB war...NOBODY!!!

 

[DisneyDotty]

Photobear--I TOTALLY agree!
More Max and Diane! They are the best!

 

[PhotobearSam]

One of the best things to come out of GH lately is the friendship between Diane and Alexis...It's so good.

Bring back the Veterans, let's see more of them, make the show multidimensional again...

 

[MinnieFan4ever]

One of the best things to come out of GH lately is the friendship between Diane and Alexis...It's so good.

Bring back the Veterans, let's see more of them, make the show multidimensional again...

I couldn't agree more Diane and Alexis are the best together. I must say, most of the credit should go to Diane. She is a hoot!

I wish Lulu would go away. Did anyone notice that she and Luke had a glass of scotch or somthing the other day at the Haunted Star. Isn't she in her 2nd year of college. So she should be 19 or so. Give me a break.

 

[MickeysMommy]

DC

Here's the Scoop!

**Max and Diane are forbidden to see one another! Who's laying down the law? Sonny! He'll tell Max to stop fooling around with his attorney. Are they just a fling or are these fan favorites becoming a couple? RUMORS say they'll be more than just a roll on Sonny's sofa.

Kate's Secret, Logan's Secret... will we ever learn what they are? I've mentioned before that Logan is part of Ric's plan but what about Kate? SPOILERS say she'll slip in front of Sonny and give another clue as to what she's hiding. Remember there was a RUMOR that a young woman is being cast. RUMORS say its the role of Olivia. What else for Logan? Well he may be part of Ric's plan but he's got one of his own. There is some talk that Logan may be looking into Michael's shooting and trying to prove that Johnny had something to do with it.

Spixie! I just love them and RUMORS have Spinelli developing more than friends feelings for Maxie. I'm not sure I'm liking that but I love these two so much, I'm willing to reserve judgement. Will Spinelli make a move on Maxie? Another dream sequence on the way? We do know that this duo has some crazy antics coming our way and they mix it up with Jerry and Ian. Jason wants Spinelli to find out everything he can on Dr. Devlin.

Robin and Liz... I mentioned that Elizabeth advises Robin to just give Patrick a chance. What advice does Robin have for Liz? If you want to get over Jason Morgan, you need to stay away from him.

Are Carly and Jax ending? There are RUMORS out there that this may happen. Carly continues to shut Jax out and keeps Jason close. Jax will turn to Kate as a friend and this will upset Carly. It may be Carly's need for Jason though that has these two splitting.

Those pesky Jaudia RUMORS... they're just RUMORS. Jason and Claudia do share more scenes together and its really just Guza once again trying to capture the magic that is Steve Burton and Sarah Brown. They're supposed to be trapped together after the hit gone bad and Claudia does a lot of talking. It may be something Claudia says that has Jason open to a reconciliation with Elizabeth. Claudia is RUMORED to tell Jason about her parents and how her father pushed her mom out of his life. Why? ZaCrazy felt that she wasn't cut out for the mob life.

We're still hearing the Liason Wedding Bells. Before that though, Jason and Elizabeth will see each other. SPOILERS have their meetings everywhere from the Penthouse, to the Safehouse and even at Elizabeth's house. As I've told you before, Elizabeth decides to fight for Jason. They'll agree that they can not stay apart but that the boys' safety comes first. So they'll once again start a secret love affair until, according to SPOILERS, the truth about Jake's paternity is found out by an enemy.

RUMORS of a re-cast of Patirck Drake? No worries Scrubs fans. Similar to the time Jax was re-cast, a scheduling error has forced the temporary fill in. Ethan Erickson is said to be filling in for JT.

A few more...

Johnny breaks it off from Lulu. Will they really stay apart? Of course not!
Ric, Alexis and Diane in a scene together? I am giddy with anticipation!
Nadine and Nikolas... she'll be there for the Prince when Emily leaves, for good.
Jerry and Alexis at the Haunted Star... are they making bets?**

**Johnny thinks Sonny has something to do with Claudia's disappearance and goes after Sonny. Sam gets really upset when she sees Lucky comforting Liz after her break from Jason. She thinks it's more then it is and there is some Ian/Sam interaction coming with that.

Claudia wants Jason to have a weakness for her in case the truth comes out about her role in Michael's shooting. Jason does bond with Claudia and in some ways they understand eachother but he makes it clear even after the situation they go through that nothing has changed and he'll personally make sure that anyone involved with Michael's situation pays.

Anthony manipulates Ric and secretly starts to not only get control of his body back and his organization. Ric is responsible for Anthony being freer to do what he wishes and there are consequences. Trevor harbors a secret about Johnny.

Claudia and Johnny clash with Ric over Anthony's situation.

Jerry attempts to get to Ian , especially before Jason can put the pieces together and find out that Jerry is in anyone connected to Ian.
Jerry is afraid to lose Jax, and what he's building with Alexis.
Jerry becomes devious and sets a plan in motion that wides up putting Alexis in the line of fire. Although Alexis survives she comes out of it more knowlegable of the situation between Ian and Jerry , along with other secrets which could put her in even greater risk. Jerry attempts to keep Alexis from being hurt again but she doesn't trust him and Jerry has to work at it.
Claudia and Jerry want Ian gone. Ian continues to manipulate those around him. Especially the patients and staff at GH. Along with Sam.

Tracy puts Luke on too short of a leash and he rebels.

Anna brings up questions of the future that leave Patrick and Robin in an uneasy places and it stirs up trouble. Anna plays both bad cop and good cop and it has some bad results. Anna is also going through an identity crisis of her own.
Robin is concerned that the unplanned pregnancy is forcing Patrick to take his life in a direction he doesn't want. Patrick is feeling completely insecure about fatherhood and being enough for Robin.

Carly turns to Jason when she makes her most difficult decision, making Jax feel unecessary and leaves him questioning what role he has in Carly's life. Sonny's need for revenge coupled with his guilt make things extremely tense and hard for him and Kater, leaving them often with no answers on the future. Jax and Kate bond over being the "outsiders"

Liz and Jason marry but on the down low. However one person finds out the truth and that leads to trouble of a personal nature. Jake's paternity also comes out to someone quite violtile which makes it the most dangerous of situations. Claudia may rush to prevent another child from being hurt.
Jason goes to Jerry about information on Ian.

Spinelli and Maxie get a bit more intimate but then Maxie may have to choose between him and her future.

LuLu uses Logan when finding out the truth about Johnny. However Logan has a secret involving Anthony Z and there are problems arising for all three.**

Previews for the week of 21-Apr-2008
by Carol Banks Weber

**Drs. Patrick and Robin have the horrible task of informing Carly that Michael will not improve, he's a vegetable, and she better check him into a long-term care facility. Robin can't help but think of her own unborn baby and her history with Michael. In a tizzy, Robin forgets her keys or to keep her apartment door unlocked, because she finds herself outside wanting in. Patrick to the rescue. She gladly accepts his gallantry. Carly won't listen to reason, or medical facts, when it comes to the miracle of her son rising from the near-dead. She's gonna have to soon enough, because the grim prognosis makes it better if Michael never regains consciousness. If he does, which is slim, he'll be severely brain-damaged. Furthermore, Jax strongly encourages Carly to put her comatose boy in a facility too. What about Michael looking at her?, Carly retorts, defiantly. Hospital personnel respond sadly that that's normal for a reflexive comatose patient who basically died the second the bullet pierced his skull.
Carly seeks a second opinion from a top-of-the-line specialist, sure that this specialist will make fools of Drs. Patrick and Robin. Instead, the specialist stands by their prognosis. Some of this cold, harsh reality begins to sink in before she fights and beats it down mentally. Jax tries to procure Jason for the task of bringing Carly back down to earth, without her son Michael. Carly lets Jax know she intends to be Michael's hospital; i.e., she will attend to him personally, to hell with the GH staff. Jason eyes Dr. Ian Devlin as the likely hitman of Sonny (which resulted in Michael accidentally going down). Nikolas comes clean with Jason, when prompted, about the role Ian has in his life, the Emily sightings, the illegal meds, everything. Jason puts Spinelli on the case of researching as much damaging information against Ian as he can. Spinelli and Maxie turn into P.I.s on Ian's case. Spinelli risks getting himself executed on the spot by mouthing off prematurely to Ian. Jason intervenes to save Spinelli's skin. Spinelli takes a longing and liking to Maxie, and connives on 101 ways to win her heart and be viewed as more than comic relief. She's stunned by his amorous antics. Nikolas divulges to Nadine about his aim to be free and clear of Emily, and live for himself and his son again. He's closer to giving in to the tumor-removing surgical procedure. Ian "Devil" proposes something enticing to Nikolas. Claudia confesses to her brother John more about Anthony's terrible influence in her life, specially when he forced her to Europe. Johnny has it out with Anthony in the psych ward. He rips into his father about faking getting better. A fully lucid, evil Anthony forces Johnny to behave and be nice to him, or face his sister's funeral. Anthony gives the hit orders behind everybody's backs anyway. He wants Claudia in a body bag. Word of Ric's working Anthony to free him for his own agenda upsets Johnny and Claudia. Ric secretly hires Logan to join Anthony's organization as a paid, spying thug. Claudia and Kate snipe at one another. Then, Sonny shows up and sides with Claudia, snubbing Kate. He even chooses Claudia as his very next public date. Claudia disbelieves Sonny, trying to look beyond his words into his true intentions. He makes it sound like he's just taking her out, making peace with the Zaccharas, making a big show of the truce. But she inwardly fears he's got her in mind as a cover in case bullets fly, then she gets hit and he's protected. Johnny insists Claudia come with him (if she wants to live). Claudia throws major bills at Ian so he'll scram and live out the rest of his days anywhere but here. Ian laughs in her face, and makes a few pointed promises of his own, if he were to ever be found out. Claudia puts on a confident act in front of Anthony, as if putting Ric on his case was Johnny's idea all along. But then Ric himself sticks a pin in that inflated tale. Anthony winds up believing Ric over Claudia. Claudia arranges to speak with Jason at an appointed time and place, but en route, someone working for Anthony fiddles with her brakes, and she almost goes off a cliff to her death. Claudia does wind up driving her vehicle off the road and into a trepidatious position when Jason arrives on the scene and pulls her to safety. Before they have a chance to take a breath, they hear gunshots aimed her way, and duck for cover, eventually rushing off to a cabin sanctuary. Claudia uses this momentary seclusion to win Jason over to her side by selectively opening up her past, tortured family life to him. She feels maybe he'll take pity on her and the likelihood of her crossing his mind as the cause of Sonny's hit will be nil. Or, maybe she can get him to soften toward her, see her as a person too, so if the truth ever does come out, he'll balk at wiping her out. She also enjoys closeness with this hitman. Jason's attitude, however, remains inflexible regarding Michael's shooting. It doesn't matter who did it, they will fall at his hands mercilessly. Anthony hates Jason for thwarting his Claudia hit as planned, so he adds Sonny's enforcer to the list, too. Alexis strongly leans on Sonny to lean on Ric to knock it off dabbling with Anthony, for Molly's sake. Kate scolds Sonny for his snubbing her. Johnny ends his whatever-the-hell-it-is-push-pull-tease with Lulu. Johnny panics, overreacts to Claudia's MIA status, going straight to Sonny. Rather, aiming at him. Claudia and Jason are with Sonny when this happens. Sonny orders Max and Diane to go back to their corners of the universe and refrain from humping each other. This peeves Diane. Diane ropes Alexis into going behind Sonny's back and enabling a secret get-together with Max. Elizabeth sounds out what to do about her sorry love life, with Robin. Robin harbors unvoiced terrors on having a child. Patrick is about hang out with Robin at Jake's, when he gets to rapping with Coleman about Anna's visit. And Robin's unexpected, surprising, inconvenient pregnancy. Robin walks in just as Patrick brings up Anna, the visit and something else that sets Robin off. Anna finds out she will be a grandmother, and goes over the top about a mini-Robin. Anna's shriek-fest blather sets Robin off. Next week: Sonny barely recovers from nearly going straight to hell at a rival's angry hand… Claudia requires a leg up from the least likely character… Kate almost reveals herself and this Olivia secret. She wants more than anything for Sonny to be clueless… Jason and Spinelli amass enough evidence to prove once and for all that Ian did it… Anthony faces the trial of the century… Lulu swears she's done with Johnny. We've heard this before… Johnny distracts himself with thoughts of targeting Ric… Maxie stabs Lulu in the back, risking her Crimson gig… Before the finale, Nikolas takes a moment to spend some quality time with his true love, tumor-Emily. **

[Nicole786]

Where's the J-Lex? They're the only thing interesting on the show right now!!

Laura Wright has impressed me the last couple of days. Its hard to get into the Michael story because GH never has a beginning, middle, and end...they usually have a beginning, they rarely have a middle but almost never know the end of the stories they start. It just seems he's in this state so they can figure out what to do with him.

 

[Mary Anne]

I know the whole Michael thing has dragged on far too long. I feel sorry for the actor, he's been let go and yet he' be laying in that bed for over 2 weeks now. Honestly, ship him out or wake him up, I'm losing interest.
