Making The Rounds at General Hospital - Accepting Fatherhood

It was a Daddy-themed show on Tuesday as Scott learned the truth about Logan, Sonny fretted about Michael's whereabouts, and Patrick tried to get Robin to admit the truth about her baby's paternity.

After more than a week of not seeing Epiphany, we learned she was still in the hospital recovering from her heart attack. Dr. Julian gave her the news she would be released the next day and she went on to have conversations with Cassius and Liz about how she felt guilt-ridden for not knowing the symptoms of a heart attack and like a failure when it came to raising Stan.

The storyline is a nod to the Campbell's Soup "Go Red" campaign to raise awareness about women and heart disease, but unfortunately it's gotten the same treatment many hospital stories get as of late. It's only been a brief aside to the many violent and mob-related stories on the canvas. This is unfortunate because so much good could be done with it. Not to mention that Sonya Eddy is an incredible talent and Epiphany is one of the rare strong women on the show. I'm also very anxious to find out what the connection between her and Cassius is and hope we get to that storyline soon.

Unwilling to listen to Jason's patient analysis of the situation, Sonny was on a manic rage and had Johnny kidnapped because he believed it would get Michael back. Claudia showed up at the hospital intent on delivering a little payback of her own, however. She slipped into Kate's room while he was otherwise distracted and when she left Kate had taken a turn for the worse. We later learned from Dr. Julian her lung collapsed.

Amidst all the drama, Claudia was still being her rather slutty self, coming on to Jason and adding to my disappointment in the way they are using Sarah Brown. Wouldn't it have been more interesting to have a woman crime boss who was ruthless, but not because she was messed up by something her daddy did to her? Can't she just be intelligent and power hungry?
