Making the Rounds at General Hospital - Broken Pieces - Page 3

As she turned to leave, he called her back. The look on his face said it all, how he wanted to declare his love and beg her not to marry the other man, but at the final moment; he couldn't bring himself to do it. She left, and he packed his bags and headed to the island, telling Max he couldn't stay and watch her marry another man.

When Carly found out from the boys that Sonny had fled, she was determined to go after him and bring him home for her children. At the end of Friday's episode Jax threatened that if she went after Sonny, there would be no wedding. Carly doesn't respond well to ultimatums, not from Sonny, Jax, or anyone else. I see her getting on a plane to the islands, and Jax getting on a plane to anywhere else. (Supported by the fact that Ingo Rademacher is set to begin an extended vacation in January)

Some subplots that were just getting started… Dillion and Spinelli are starting to help Lulu with her quest to prove her mother's innocence. As they tried to re-create the incident, Georgie walked in to find Dillon with his arms around Lulu. Lucky finally sat down to have a talk with Maxie over the baby he thinks she is having. He suggested they put the baby up for adoption, since she is so young and his life is so complicated. Maxie, of course, did not respond well. I guess she's come attached to that pillow under her shirt.

Are Viewers Unhappy?

TV Online is suggesting a boycott of General Hospital to let the writers and advertisers know how much viewers want a return to what made the show great. Also, Darcy Fournier offers his very detailed plan on how he would revamp and rebuild the current story.

I have to say Darcy makes some excellent points. As I've said before, it's very sad they brought back all the veteran characters, to only use them in the background. Give these great actors and actresses some solid storylines… that don't revolve around Sonny. Make the show a true ensemble cast again, and I believe all storylines will benefit.

    Great article Connie! I love reading positive press about Rick Springfield! Though I am a recent (12/05) return viewer to GH (yes, because of RS), I am totally caught up with the Patrick and Robin storyline and I love watching the 3 of them all together too! The past 12 months have been a real treat to me!

    Agree wholeheartedly about the fantastic on screen chemistry tween Rick Springfield (Noah) and Jason Thompson (Patrick) Drake. The doctors Drake are terrific individually and amazing together! Not to mention the similarity in their looks, mannerisms and tone. Just great GH viewing. I to hope along with you and a bunch of my friends that we see more of them and continuing to be more supportive of each other.

    Robin and Patrick ain't bad either!

    Thanks Paula and Lauri!

    As I stated in the early installments of this column, I returned as a viewer to GH after more than ten years and stayed on when TPTB began bringing back even more of the veteran characters.

    The more we can see of the Doctors Drake the happier this viewer will be. I would be even more thrilled if they started writing story lines for the other veterans they have brought back, only to use as window dressing.

    Thanks for mentioning my site and giving props to my Ideas on how to fix GH.

    Problem is, I am a GUY, not a female. Easy mistake except the column you read has my picture in it..:P

    I know I'm going completly off topic but I just got to say that I am a huge Liason fan and I really want them to get together but I read that Jason and Sam might have a baby together next year and I will be furious if they do. Because Elizabeth and Jason belong together! By the way don't you think Ric liking Elizabeth again is kinda creepy.
