On Tuesday's General Hospital:
No matter how much Carly begged, cried, and pleaded, Jax was determined to continue his search for Jerry and was just as resolved that Carly go home without him. In a scene reminiscent of Casablanca, the two shared a tearful goodbye in an airport hangar. Even though Carly was an absolute mess from the pain Jax was causing, she assured him that she loved him, and he promised to be home soon.
I had such high hopes for this couple in the beginning, mostly because Carly seemed like an even stronger and more independent woman by his side. We should have known that wouldn't last long. Ever since Jax's last return from chasing Jerry, Carly has been even more of a needy basket case. Why can't we have strong women on GH?
Maxie tried to be discrete as she dropped off a card on Lucky's and Liz's doorstep offering her support and condolences about Jake's kidnapping, but was called out by an angry Lulu. She went so far as to follow Maxie to the hospital where she very publicly warned the other to stay away from her brother, adding digs such as "Coop will leave you as soon he figures out what a whore you are." Of course this prompted Maxie to get on the phone with Logan, surely to step up her plan of revenge.
This little catfight was fun to watch, and it looked like the young actresses were having just as much fun filming it. A typical Spencer, Lulu is territorial and protective of her family. She may look like her mother, but she is definitely her father's daughter.
Liz felt the need to reconnect with her husband and the two clung to and supported each other. It didn't last long however, as in the aftermath, Liz dreamt Jason brought Jake back to her arms safe and sound and proclaimed he would never let her or her boys go again. Once she realized it was just a dream, she was reduced to a pile of tears.
To me, the reunion scenes between Liz and Lucky just didn't sit right; I guess I figured they would just be followed with something to remind us she really loves Jason, and when the dream sequence came I couldn't help but dislike the character even more for the way she continues to string along the man she's married to.

Jason killed someone who would have liked to kill him. It seems different from Sam, who was conning men out of money by marrying them. She did kill in self-defense but she was preying on innocent people. Jason's just in a dirty business.
I can't dislike Elizabeth though. She is making the wrong choice but she is trying so hard to make the right one.
