I also find it extremely odd that this is a former good friend of Patrick Drake's. Who did this guy hang out with in Medical school anyway? First there was Pete, the college professor who was making time with his students. He went to get Patrick a cup of coffee during the hostage crisis a year and half ago and was never seen again. Now, we have Evil Ian.

I'll be watching this week to see if Ian rats out the Zacharras and if he has any remorse at all.

Scoops and Spoilers

• When Michael comes out of surgery; Patrick's prognosis is not good. He doesn't believe Michael will ever come out of his coma.

  Sonny first blames Jason, and then himself. Carly also takes her anger out on her ex-husband and refuses to accept Patrick's diagnosis.

  The character had reached that awkward age. He was too old to do cutesy stuff and too young to date Maxie. I look for him to remain in the coma through the summer and maybe into the fall and wake up 18 or 19 years old.

  There are still some rumors circulating that Cash is not the actor in the rumor I mentioned above. The only other one who fit the description was Greg Vaughn (as Lucky).

• Lulu and Johnny can't resist each other.

  I don't even think Lulu will be dissuaded when she learns of the shooting. The danger is a huge attraction for her. It might be interesting if they would explore the fact that Johnny is much like Luke was at that age, and maybe in some weird psychological way she's trying to fill the void of 'daddy acceptance,' but I'm not holding my breath.

  The writers want Lulu involved in the mob mess, plain and simple, so there she is. Unfortunately, I have a feeling this will push Logan (Josh Duhon) off to the side. Sad really, I loved the Spencer/Baldwin history at work in these two.

• In a press release on ABC.com, it is being reported that Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) will return toward the end of the month to explore the fact the character is becoming a grandmother. The release also states she left on assignment with Dr. Noah Drake (Rick Springfield) last fall. (Hmm, funny, that isn't how I remember it happening) and teases we will get a glimpse at how that relationship has progressed. Now, that is something I am looking forward to.
