This week on General Hospital Sam continued to agonize and whine over Alexis being her biological mother. As the week progressed, I found myself more and more sympathetic to Alexis. Sam decided to get her GED so she could go to college and law school. Like Jason, I jumped to the conclusion it was all about her new mom and the desire to prove something. Sam went into a lengthy speech about how helpless she felt during Manny's court proceedings, and how knowledge of the law would empower her. Silly me started to buy into it. Too bad the writers couldn't actually take that road. All it took was Alexis to acknowledge that Law School was a "lofty goal" for Sam to go spinning into one of her attacks. Did she totally miss the first words Alexis said? "Wow – that's wonderful Sam." Of course not! She was just looking for a way to play the victim again and attack Alexis.
I don't think we've seen the last turn or twist to this story. It all came together way too quickly and just a little bit too neatly for something involving the Cassadines. I have a sneaking suspicion there's more to this, and maybe the paternity isn't as cut and dry as it appears.
Speaking of the Cassadines, just when it seemed Nicholas had found a little peace from spreading Courtney's ashes at sea, Jax took his name off the visitors' list for little John, banning him from the Neonatal ICU. Nicholas wasn't the only one who thought it was odd. The arrogant neurosurgeon, Patrick, who was chosen to deliver the news agreed. Though Jax has a valid point about Nicholas being a train wreck with his grieving, it is quite evident he is only protecting his dirty little secret. He's also not that far off the mark with his fears of Helena so it's hard to be mad at him. His heart is in the right place.
