TV Review: Making the Rounds at General Hospital - Web of Lies

What began as a sham of marriage and a form of blackmail has somehow become a couple who genuinely care deeply for each other, but both are too proud or shy to be the first to admit it. Though at times they have been given touching moments, they are most often used as comic relief.

In the ongoing saga that is Tracy and Luke, she continued to needle her husband, putting a lien against the Haunted Star's profits until he had paid back the money he had siphoned. It was the perfect setup for the antics that followed.

Luke hired Coleman to rob The Haunted Star so he could get his hands on some of the money his not-so-loving wife had put a hold on. Coleman, in turn, hired Diego to help with the scheme. During the heist, the bad men were masked but Lulu noticed Diego's flashy watch and set in motion a scheme of her own. She caught up with Diego before he could report back to Coleman, taking the money minus Diego and Coleman's cut. More on this unlikely duo later, I was far more interested in the scenes these set up.

Robert quickly put one and one together and rightly assumed Luke was behind the hold up, the big red flag came when he stopped Scorpio from overpowering two of the three armed suspects. Personally, seeing Robert foil the crime in progress would have been a huge step toward bringing this character back to his original glory. Robert observed the police investigation after the crime and began spouting claims that his brother Mac was doing nothing about organized crime in PC — though I’m not sure what it was about three men in ski masks made him complain about organized crime.

I had hopes that an assertion I made here last week would come to be. I would absolutely love to see Scorpio back as Police Commissioner, but only if they move beyond the comic relief role the writers seem set in keeping him in.

Tracy overheard Luke admit to Robert he had been behind the robbery and I look for the three of them to join forces to get the money back. We can only hope and pray they give the story some meat instead of continuing with Tracy, Luke, and Robert who resemble the Three Stooges.
