On Friday's General Hospital:
Lucky banged heads with Liz again for visiting Jason. He asked her if she believes that if Jason wasn't in jail that he would be able to find Jake. I, however, wondered how it is that Jason, being held on murder charges, is able to receive visitors anytime he wants. He's practically living in the interrogation room with a constant stream of people coming and going. Elizabeth says Jason calms her, while all Lucky and Liz seem to be able to do is argue. They were able to stop when they thought Jake had been found, but when the infant in question turned out to not be their son, Jason called on Spinelli to break him out so he could look for Jake.
When Ric came to the Everyday Heroes set asking where Sam was at the time of the kidnapping, Amelia lied and provided her with an alibi. The kindness only confused Sam who can't seem to figure out why Amelia continues to be so nice to her. Later, Amelia's motives were questioned even more by Sam when she found Amelia's file containing Sam's con-artist past.
Kate came to Sonny and begged him to stop a tabloid from running an article romantically linking her to him. All the time he was playing his cat and mouse game with the woman, he was also playing with the gold lighter. For the life of me I couldn't figure out when Sonny had developed pyro tendencies or even a smoking habit, but of course it was yet another forced plot device. They needed a lighter available when Kate came back to the coffee shop and discovered Amelia and Sonny getting hot and heavy in his office. How else would she set off the fire detectors without that lighter? I love Kate showing a jealous side and the desire to be with Sonny even though she protests to his face, but the whole lighter thing was just so convenient!

Not sure about the story line(s) - BUT More Rick Springfield is all great! Can't wait! Thanks for the info...

I couldn't agree more, Lauri. I'm holding my breath as to how intricate a storyline it will be, knowing that Springfield's recording/tour schedule sometimes interferes with taping of GH but it looks like this should be fun!

Finally, a storyline for Rick!! How wonderful is that! It has been far too long. It is also refreshing that GH has decided to involve more mature and talented characters in its summer storyline, breaking from the tradition of primarily focusing on the teen set. Let's hope that Rick's future tour schedule would permit him to have more airtime beyond summer when he returns from his Australia tour. Can't wait until July 2!

We can hope, Janet! I'm looking forward to it to. Don't forget to check out the Summer Soap Preview on ABC in the The View's timeslot on Friday. We just might get a sneak peak of Eli Love.
