Making the Rounds at General Hospital - Spun Web of Secrets and Lies
Published March 19, 2007
Maxie is up to her old tricks with new accomplices and eye candy Logan and Cooper. Jax and Sonny battle for Carly's attention both looking like three-year-olds arguing over a new toy, and all kinds of secrets were at risk of being brought to light, all last week on General Hospital.
After learning from Logan - who is a pretty expert eavesdropper - about Scott's guilt, Maxie decided she should blackmail Mr. Baldwin with her new buddies and pin the blame on Lulu. This led to a hilarious scene with Maxie and Spinelli where she tried to flirt her way into his good graces to get a peek at his laptop – unsuccessful of course. I can only imagine the mayhem that will occur when she gets a peek at that folder marked "For Lulu's Eyes Only." As much as she gets on my nerves, I'd love to see her be able to call Liz out for the hypocritical way she persecuted her for her secrets while keeping a whole bunch of her own.
Lulu's not dealing too well with the knowledge that it is Jason's baby Liz is carrying, not her brother's. Though she seems determined to enlighten Lucky, I'm sure she will be just as determined to protect him as she is to protect her father from the truth about Rick Webber's murder. With all these secrets to keep, it's amazing she had any time at all to spend with her three drooling suitors, but I'm glad she did. It was definitely a highlight of the week. I only wonder why, when she wanted to make it extremely clear to the guys how important it was to keep the secret of 'who killed Rick Webber', she held the meeting in a public coffee shop.
As if tit-for-tat, Scotty is determined to counter Lulu's new disdain for him by making sure she finds out that Luke once raped Laura. As far as I'm concerned the storyline leap that took Luke and Laura from that night in the disco to supreme super couple of the universe was huge, but it was twenty-five years ago and to continually bring it back as a plot device is getting old on me. Does Lulu need to know? Maybe. Will it put her in a padded room next to her mother? After the year she's had, maybe.
Jason seems determined to keep his promise to Liz and let Lucky raise the baby as his own, but this secret is out, too many know, and it's only a matter of time until it hits the fan and the few people who don't yet know (Lucky and Sam about cover it, I think) find out. On the other hand, Sam is way too busy covering her own set of secrets to even notice Jason is being tormented by something. This couple is certainly fizzling lately. Besides the lies and secrets, the on screen chemistry is just flat.
