On Wednesday's General Hospital:

It's felt like a slow week, storyline-wise. I'm not sure if it's because we saw the end of a couple of major ones last week and the new ones are just picking up or if it's because I'm nearly bored to tears with the baby-daddy one that's been going on for a year, but it certainly helped to get a big dose of Spinelli on Wednesday's show.

First, Spin was tormented by 'the bad blonde one' Maxie, as she needled and poked him about the fact that Lulu and Logan were surely sleeping together by now. It's moments like these that make it absolutely impossible for me to have one ounce of sympathy for the girl. I get it, she hates Lulu and wants to hurt her, but why take such pleasure in hurting Spinelli in the process? Lulu didn't help matters much when she intervened, chasing Maxie off.

Yet again, she tried to make him and Logan play nice. I give Logan points for offering Spinelli an apology and taking the first step, but I have to give Spinelli a whole lot more for being honest. He believes in his heart Logan will hurt Lulu.  As her friend he might have to respect her choices, but he's right, liking Logan isn’t his responsibility as her friend.

The depth of Spinelli's devastation was highlighted further when Ric showed up, wanting to interrogate Jason about Zacchara. He took off on the 'DA of Darkness' with an impassioned speech, full of Spinelli-isms. The funny thing is it seemed to be truly hitting home and affecting Ric. He brushed it off saying something to the effect of he wasn't going to arrest Spin because he seem tortured enough, but I really felt like Ric was moved, if even just a little bit. How funny would it be if a combination of Trevor and Spinelli was able to push Ric down a path toward redemption?

Of course, the highlight came when Spinelli fantasized about those Girls Next Door girls fawning all over him and easing his sorrow until a very innocent and pure Lulu came to the door begging for his forgiveness and declaring her love. A hilarious masterpiece!

And what is this fascination with the thick heavy line between good and bad, and why does it seem like Nikolas is making the jump from one side to the other? First when Emily told him she couldn't take time off her internship program to jet-set around the world with him, he got all uppity about how (basically) she was better than the other interns and could do what she wanted since his donations kept the hospital afloat. Later when Dr. Ford admonished Em for spending her time chit-chatting with Nikolas when she was supposed to be caring for patients, he went off on the would-be chief of staff, threatening to destroy his career. Both incidents hugely out of character, and extremely odd.

I said yesterday Carly would go running to Jason soon as she was home and sure enough Wednesday's episode opened with Jason and Carly at her house. Apparently Jason had come by to warn Carly about Zaccarah and tell her he was increasing her guards, though it didn't stop Carly from going on and on about what Jax had done. Yeah, okay. Bad Jax went and got himself kidnapped, tortured, and raped. You're right, Carly. Unforgivable! What I've yet to figure out is why Jax hasn't blown a gasket yet and told Carly to grow up.
