General Hospital: Believing Better Be Receiving

The correspondence war between Spin’s Vixenella and General Hospital head writer Bob Guza continues to rage. Could there be a thaw in their relationship? Could there be “Peace in Our Time?” Here is the next installment in the “Letters to Bob” series.

Dear Bob,

This is your lucky day! The Vixenella is still giddy from General Hospital’s Emmy win for Outstanding Drama Series and Tony Geary’s (Luke Spencer) win for Best Actor. The Vixenella’s heart is full of General Hospital cheer. Now seems the perfect time for a word to you.

The Vixenella gratefully received the olive branch you sent to Spinelli and Maxie fans. The "Believe It Can Happen" promo on SOAPNet featuring Spixie was an extraordinary gesture on your part. You aren’t planning to lull us into complacency and then beat us about the brow with this olive branch, are you? Bob, is this your way of reaching out to fans of Maxie and Spinelli, telling us to believe in miracles — believe Spixie can still happen? Are you really apologizing for all the slow, insidious damage you have done to Spixie over the past six weeks, repositioning them as “just friends”? You and I both know Spinelli and Maxie are so much more than friends; so thank you for this beautiful promo urging Spixie fans to keep the faith. Good deeds like this don’t go unnoticed by the magnanimous Vixenella.

Bob, while I’m on my appreciative roll, I don’t know if it is you, or The Frons who should receive thanks for having Bradford Anderson (Spinelli), Kirsten Anderson (Maxie), and that new guy Jason Cook (Matt Hunter) present the Emmy for Outstanding Writing in a Drama Series. They did a great job presenting, notwithstanding the little envelope-opening snafu. Envelopes are notoriously pesky and sometimes difficult to open, even for the most seasoned among us. Where are those stunt envelope-openers when you need them?  But, I digress…

In any event, using the Outstanding Writing Emmy presentation to showcase Spinelli and Maxie as a couple while simultaneously introducing The Interloper, Matt Hunter… brilliant! Did that little scamp Bradford Anderson venture off script when he said “Mine” and tugged Kirsten Storms away from Jason Cook? Let me tell you, the Spixie crowd went wild for that shout-out!
