I have several observations to note:

1. The scene between Jason and Michael (Carly looking on) when Jason basically took the bull by the horns and gave Michael a good, old-fashioned, no bullshit dressing down. It was the most powerful, honest scene GH has aired in years. I detest how both Carly and Sonny pussy-foot around Michael, especially since the coma. Jason has seen how careless Michael has been lately and I think he's wanted to step in and discipline Michael for years but held back because he felt it wasn't his place. But he finally had to just do it. I loved Steven in that scene; it was his best to date.

2. Franco is as nutty as a fruitcake and just creepy as hell. His fascination with Jason is a contrived one, I think. He's in cahoots with Ronnie (Dominic's fellow G-Man) and who knows where that will lead. It'll be good though. James is doing such a good job of playing creepy and smart. I can't wait to see how far they take this.

3. Jason is finally seeing his life clearly because of Franco's manipulation. Inklings have peeked through during the past couple of years, but this situation with Franco. along with the Sonny/Michael/Carly/Jax dealings with Claudia's death, have made Jason take pause and look closely at his lifestyle.

4. I think Sam is the perfect person for Jason. Elizabeth has become a parody of herself and as selfish as they come. She wants everybody. She loves Lucky and wants to marry him , she loves Jason and wants to be with him, but can't, and she wants Nicholas because he's awakened long dead sexual feelings in her (and was her best friend's love). She doesn't have a clue what she wants. Sam has always been the kind of girl Jason needs. If not only for the fact she can see how Franco's bizarre behavior is affecting Jason and his mindset.

5. Someone, somewhere tell Sonny and Dominic they are father and son. I don't care who spills it at this point.....it's become so tedious.

6. I love Carolyn Hennesy. Diane is my favorite female character on GH. I wish they would give her more screen time. With Alexis, with Max.....I don't care.

7. I hate Sonny's kids. Period!

8. Maxi doesn't deserve Spinelli; he certainly deserves better. But I still like it when they're onscreen together. God, she wears some goodlooking clothes.

9. LuLu and Dominic as a couple? Don't care. I'm so unimpressed with this actor I really don't care. After such a long search, I can't believe he was the best casting they could come up with.

10. Anybody have any thoughts on Patrick's old girlfriend joining the staff? To me....boring. And Scott Reeves joining the cast as Liz's brother coming back to Chief of Staff at GH? He looks bad to me....like he's been sick or something. His part has also been boring to me.

Okay enough for now. I love the Jason/Franco storyline, but I'm getting tired of the rest of it. GH let's stories linger too long, but they have some of the best characters in daytime.

Excellent notes Mel.

Anyone thinking Jax has turned into a major @sshole the last few weeks.... I am almost rooting for Sonny to B*tch slap him

Selene St. John · **Posted:** Tue Dec 22, 2009 10:40 pm

Yeah I wouldn't mind seeing Sonny and Jax throw down. I think it's long over due.

Someone PLEASE, PLEASE beat Maxie ---- I know she is self-absorbed but going to Franco's studio was beyond dumb (the pictures were not that bad, she was dressed and he already sent them to Jason so what the hell is the big deal?!?) and then talking to Olivia saying she was hoping to get him to STILL do a photoshoot....come on woman! I am going to be sad to see Franco's time come to an end....he played a great part.

I also read an article where he was so impressed with the glass cell they created for Sam that he asked to buy it to use in another project.

Wow! The scene today at the police station between Jason and Lucky was fantastic!
Both Steve and Jonathan were so in the zone in this scene. When Jason thanked Lucky for being Jake’s father and keeping him safe, I thought I’d lose it.

This storyline has really highlighted Steve Burton’s talent. The Franco story has been genius in that nothing has ever caused Jason to truly question his new role in life since the accident. Sure, he’s had some doubts, especially since Jake’s birth, but nothing on this scale. It’s been amazing to watch as reality sets in. And yet…..I love how Jason has evolved over the years from a Quartermaine clone……to a man who chose his own destiny. It’s such a paradox and Steve makes it so enjoyable for us to watch.

Sometimes I get fed up with it, but overall….GH doesn’t disappoint.

Mel, I couldn't agree more with everything you said! Also, I am really sick of Liz being such a crying wimp - just go be a woman with Nik. He had a great point when he mentioned to her that she pulled her sleeping kids out of bed to stop him from leaving town. Also, I DO NOT like Lisa (Patrick's ex) how dumb is Robin not to see through her..

So, what does everyone think - will Maxie be pregnant with Franco's kid? I am glad they didn't kill off so there is a chance he could back again.

I think James Franco had a great time on General Hospital. Word has it he is really into art and actually requested to buy the glass cage Franco kept Sam in. Hell I thought it was cool, I'd keep it too. James Franco was also quoted as saying he'd love to have a longer story line so maybe they will bring him back.

I agree, Jason and Lucky scene was awesome! I was so impressed. Both men did a wonderful job and they really know how to tug at your heart. I was kind of pissed at Lucky though with Sam when he made the "You're not a mother" comment. Big props to Lulu for stepping in on that one.

Liz has always annoyed the sh!t out of me. I just need her to go somewhere, I don't care where and I don't care which guy she does it with, just go.

I'm bored with Scrubs and I really want the Olivia, Dante and Sonny story to hurry up and come out. Everyone in Port Charles knows he's a cop and everyone has been bringing up his daddy issues. So lets have it out already. Geez!

Maxie annoys me but it was great to see Spin in a scene WITHOUT her lately so good news on that. I really want to see him branch out more and far away from her. Blah!

Rebecca Herbst (Liz) is now expecting her third child with long time husband Michael Saucedo (ex-Juan). Will Rebecca's pregnancy be written into her current storyline? Rumors say YES whose do you think it would be Nik or Lucky

drea268 · **Posted:** Tue Jan 19, 2010 8:48 pm

Nik -- three kids by three men - the soap way! LOL

I loved the scene today with Lucky & Ethan -- It was great when Ethan acted all brotherly wanting to help Lucky -- a little foreshadowing perhaps....

Harmony · **Posted:** Wed Jan 20, 2010 12:50 am

Yeah, it was a good scene. Ethan isn't my favorite, but now that they pull his hair back, I can live with him. God...Jonathan portrays emotion SO much better than Greg did. I liked Greg, but he wasn't really Lucky to me. I just wish Jonathan didn't have such a baby face and they could shave off that crappy, half-ass beard.

The baby has to be Nick's......it's the only way to keep the angst going and like you say....it's the soap way. And again....Lucky will have no biological children.

I am so enjoying JaSam this time around. They've had some really great scenes. Nothing flashy....just comfortable and right.

I want to scream when Patrick/Lisa/Robin are onscreen. I've never cared for Patrick and the whole forced triangle is boring and crappy. Who gives a rat's @ss???

I totally forgot that Cam isn't Lucky's biological children. I'd love to see Ethan and Lucky pair up which I think is where we are headed since they are going to bring back the Spencer/Cassadine feud. If the baby is Nik's then Liz won't need to worry about it and whiny more about "her boys" - I want to hit her every time she says it --- anyway, her & Nik's kid can go off and be raised by whatever nanny's are taking care of Spencer since Nik never seems to be with his son.... Although I can't help it - I just love Nik - maybe it is the hot tats! Would be a great twist to make him & Liz together and have her turn kind of evil to fit with the Cassadine's b/c Helena is coming back to the canvas......

Lucky is just soooo baby-faced I can't get past it & yes please, please shave....

I agree -- the whole scrubs thing drive me bonkers and does the Keifer situation -- I hope he gets the beat down he deserves!

Is anyone else sick to death of Michael acting like a little punk @ss......

Harmony · **Posted:** Sun Jan 24, 2010 10:12 pm

Lord Yes! He grates on my nerves and it's getting to the point I dread seeing him on the screen. When Jason told him to "shut up" was one of the best scenes in all of GH.

Now with his attitude toward Dominic, he's just crusin' for a brusin' and I can't wait for him to find out that Dominic IS Sonny's biological son. Talk about taking the wind out of someone's sails. It'll be great.

As I've mentioned before...Sonny's kids really annoy me.
