Making the Rounds at General Hospital - Strategies and Tactics

Written by Connie Phillips
Published October 05, 2007

On Thursday's General Hospital:

Skye invited Ric to dinner at the Metro Court to discuss forming an alliance, saying it was always Lorenzo who put them at odds. Now, because of her relationship with the arms dealer, she finds herself an outcast, much the same way Ric is. How can Ric help her? Jason's trial left doubt that Lorenzo was even dead, so now she can't get her hands on his money. What I'm wondering is what Ric is going to want in return.

Their dinner was interrupted when Ric spotted Alexis sitting down with Jerry Jacks. He told his ex-wife in no uncertain terms that if she allowed Jerry anywhere near Molly, he would take his daughter back. Both Alexis and Skye seemed unconvinced Ric would win a second time in family court, now that Alexis is cancer free.

Later, Jerry asked Alexis what it was that ever attracted her to someone as mean and nasty as Ric, admitting it was an odd statement for him to make. Oddly Alexis seemed a bit unnerved at the realization that it's the bad boys she's attracted to, yet she still agreed to have dinner with Jerry again. I get it, we're establishing a pattern. After being involved with Sonny and Ric, where else does Alexis have to turn but to Jerry? How about a nice guy? Are there any of them left in PC?

After Trevor warned Carly to keep her cousin away from Johnny, Jason showed up and chased him off. He was more concerned with what Johnny had to tell her; she was forced to admit she didn't learn much, and ended up being held at gunpoint. She did say she truly felt as though, based on his reaction, he wasn't the one to kill Leticia. I'm with you Carly.

After giving Johnny back his gun, without the clip, Lulu told him she doesn't like guns and he should leave. Johnny maintained he was only protecting her and Logan better watch his back if he ever makes Lulu cry again. Once he was gone, Logan implored her to cut all ties with Johnny, but she insisted that what she does is none of his business anymore.

Ah, this takes me back to my days of unemployment (which I preferred to think of as househusbandry). Back then the characters on the soaps couldn't text each other, but other than that, it looks like everything's par for the course in soap land. Nice to know some things never really change!

Thanks, Jon. Yeah, I think it's pretty fair to say the substructure of what makes a soap a soap is still there.

Plots, schemes, intrigue and of course, personal relationships that are far enough away from reality they server as an hour long escape.
