Making the Rounds at General Hospital - A New Mob Threat Moving In

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!
