Happy Birthday Logan

Monday, August 27th, Josh Duhon celebrated his 23rd birthday. His handsome looks and sensitive side is growing very popular among the fans of General Hospital who hope to see him on screen for several more years.

Happy Birthday Mr. Craig

On August 4th, Sebastian Roche (Jerry Jacks, James Craig) celebrated his birthday. A very happy birthday month to our favorite unpredictably evil character on General Hospital.

Q and A with some of your favorites..

When asked "Who on your cast could most likely get out of a speeding ticket?", your favorite General Hospital casts said:

Kelly Monaco (Sam): "I would probably say Laura Wright (Carly). She's got the savvy to get out of anything she needs to.

Greg Vaughan (Lucky): "Laura Wright. She's got that East Coast, 'What? You're going to give me a ticket for that?' She would argue her way out of it.

Bradford Anderson (Spinelli): "Come on! That's a simple question. Laura Wright, without a doubt. She could just bat her eyes. She'd feign ignorance and be able to rationalize that she was doing something so important that there was no way she should have had to look at the speed limit. And they would be absolutely convinced that whatever she was doing was more important than the law."

Laura Wright (Carly): "Probably Maurice Bernard (Sonny), because everyone recognizes him. Sonny can get out of anything! For sheer terror, they'd be like, 'Whatever you want!'"

From these answers, it looks like Laura Wright may be more like Carly Corinthos than we think, she definitely has an "I get what I want" reputation from her fellow cast mates.

Busy Summer

This summer has been very busy for the important people of Pt. Charles.
Here is a list of important story lines making their way into the fall lineup:

Jason was arrested for the murder of Alcozar. While on trial, Ric called Elizabeth to the witness stand where he mercilessly attacked her and it was exposed that Elizabeth and Jason slept together last summer. Lucky was in the court room, and the paternity of Baby Jake was questioned. Elizabeth lied under oath and said the test showed Jake was really Lucky's. When Jason was acquitted from all charges, an over excited Elizabeth ran to his arms and they embraced. This action was more than Lucky could handle, this is the beginning of the end of Lucky and Elizabeth.
Since this, Lucky has actively sought a relationship with Sam, as he is now her bodyguard.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned....this saying accurately portrays Sam's current state of mind. After her and Jason broke up, she feels obligated to make Elizabeth suffer at any cost. She knew baby Jake's kidnapper and refused to reveal, and recently while Elizabeth and her sons were in the park, Sam hired a couple men to try to kidnap them while Sam comes to the rescue. Sam was the hero, but her true intentions were to make Elizabeth so scared for her children's safety that she stay away from Jason. This plan worked well for sometime, but we all knew Jason would find the two men and make them give up who they work for. We are currently left with an angry Jason confronting Sam on her devious plot of antagonize Elizabeth.

Sonny has big problems arising for him. He has had an ongoing romance with an old flame, but she (Kate Howard) is connected to some enemies of Sonny's who seem to want business in Pt. Charles. Though Anthony Zachara hasn't officially made his presence in town, his high powered attorney, who just so happens to be Ric's father and Sonny's stepdad, and Kate's on again/off again boyfriend, is scoping out the situation for an offensive move from Zachara. Since Sonny is so good at what he does, he knows this and tells Jason to keep those he loves close by.

Jax has been being held hostage by Jerry's ex lover, Irina. Irina's plan was to kill Jax in front of Jerry to cause him great harm. However, we see tonight that the plans had a little change. After several attempts, Jerry successfully convinced Irina to let Jax and Carly go and continue where they left off. As the two embraced, Jerry killed Irina with a bullet. This truly upset Jax who took Carly and told Jerry to never return to Pt. Charles. The emotional tole on Jax and Carly's relationship is very present and leaves the viewers with the uncertainty of it's maintain.

Emily and Nicholas seem to be doing fine, however, Nicholas has a strong sense of anger that is forming and may be something to keep an eye on. He seems very angry lately and may be capable of doing things we would have never thought the handsome prince would ever consider.

Robin's got the baby bug....enough said

Lulu and Logan have developed a relationship. Logan seems to be a very gentle and sensitive man. We're not sure if this is a real look at his true self or if he's still trying to trick her only to give Maxie satisfaction and get her into bed. We're really hoping he will drop Maxie and stay with Lulu....he's so much more attractive when he's being sensitive and lets that Texas accent flow!!

There are many new story lines and excitement coming to Pt. Charles this fall..you don't want to miss it.

Being Connie Falconerie

Yesterday's episode of General Hospital finalized what we all knew eventually would happen, Sonny and Connie (Kate Howard) slept together. Kate borrowed a couple "ibuprofens" from her boss and accidentally took the OTHER little blue pill. Needless to say, she was frisky and refreshing. Sonny just rolled with it in true mobster style.

Alexis and Carly teamed up against Jerry to find out where Jax was. The plan was for Alexis to get him into bed so Carly could check his pda. The women underestimated Jerry's ability to read people and he busted them. This happened only after Ric walked in and found Alexis and Jerry spending time together. Being truly distraught, he did what he knows best, threaten Alexis that she won't see Molly.

Cody, the traumatized soldier from Iraq, found Logan and Lulu. He seems highly motivated to hurt Logan and made a threat to Lulu in the meantime.

Sam and Jason broke up as we knew from last week, but yesterday, Lucky interrogated Sam about what that might mean for his marriage. Sam played it cool, but we're pretty sure Lucky will get to the bottom of his wife's lies soon. While he was talking to Sam, Elizabeth visited Jason in Pentonville. While there, she confided that she wants to be with him when he gets out (and also Lucky)....decision time, but we think that being with Jason would be a great move for her.

Happy Birthday...

Happy Birthday Greg Vaughan who turns 34 Sunday the 15th!

The Night Shift..

The big story this week in Pt. Charles is that Robin and Patrick have been sent to probation on the Night Shift (which airs on Soapnet Thursday nights at 11 p.m.) So, as viewers we get exposed to the various scandals and fast paced dramas Thursday evenings will soon be available for.
The show started out with a steamy shower scene with Patrick and Robin. Shortly after that, there was a call about a victim needing assistance who was in transit to the ER. As the staff (Patrick, Robin, Epiphany, three nurses) waited for the ambulance, Jason arrived with Spinelli because Spinelli accidently shot himself in the foot. (thought Jason was still in Petnonville...oh well, not complaining!!)

As the car drove up it was obvious that the scene was going to quickly take a turn for the worse as there was a gasoline leak in the ambulance and a quick light of the match made a huge explosion that knocked Patrick off his feet. Good thing Jason was there to rescue the woman in the ambulance who was later pronounced dead.

Robin quickly took care of Patrick who showed no sign of any damage. Jason covered for Spinelli and said that he accidentally shot Spinelli, and Mac and Coop came to the hospital to get a statement about what happened in the explosion. Coop and Maxie quickly found a supply closet to pass the time. The scene was scandalous and very funny as Mac caught Coop with his pants down, and Maxie handcuffed and exposed. Maxie suggested Mac punishes her as well as Coop...next scene..the two cleaning out the bed pans!!!

The body of the woman who was pronounced dead in the explosion was sent to the Morgue with a familiar last name: Barret (Brenda, Coop...) As Regina, the new nurse student was sent down to deliver all the victims information, she saw the victim was in fact still alive.

If this series is anything like the first show, it is sure to be one not to miss. The erotic activities and fast paced atmosphere is softened with the continual humor and unexpected moments. Time to Tivo!

This week..

This week on GH, we learned that Logan obviously did something very bad in the military. He doesn't want it to air so much that he has accepted the job to be Ric's informant into Sonny's business.....whatever he might have done must be really good if it's worth getting killed for. What Logan and Ric don't know is that Coop is Sonny's informant into the PCPD. This became a little awkward when there was a shootout and Coop ended up wounding Logan. This drama brought Lulu right to his side to help in any way she could, which made Maxie very happy.

Dillon took Ned's offer to shadow a film maker and left the show.....ofcourse to return sometime in the future. His exit was a little emotional as the family acted like they were never going to see him again...he's going to L.A.!!!!!!!

Jason had a couple visitors in Pentonville this week...one from his wife, Carly? She pretended to be Brenda as she showed the marriage license. The other visitor, Elizabeth! Yay!!! She pretended to be Lucky with his badge and was so close to telling Jason she loved him. Lucky is starting to see this and we were left this week with him asking Elizabeth if she loves Jason.

weekly recap

This week on General Hospital, the viewers got a closer look at the characters for the new Soap series: NIGHTSHIFT. We learned that there are three new nurses that want Patrick's attention, Epiphany loves music, Stan and Lainy will go on a date, and Dr. Noah Drake has a twin, music legend, Eli Love (it's not really his twin, just someone who looks exactly like him).

The daytime crew:

Jerry insists on getting to know Carly more so he shows up for breakfast and takes the family on a boat ride on the fourth. This news is disturbing for Sonny, but he knows that Carly will do whatever she wants anyways, so there's not much he can say. However, for now, the boys are at summer camp, so they'll be safely kept away.

Ned came to town to offer Dillon a great job opportunity in LA as a film director's assistant. Although Tracey does not approve, Dillon was mainly concerned about leaving Lulu until she intentionally blew him off by telling him she is dating Logan.

Speaking of Logan, he kissed Maxie again.....and she liked it!!!!! Georgie warns Maxie that he is bad news and will end up hurting her, but ofcourse to Maxie...that's the appeal.

Kate Howard decides not to sell the house and plans to stay in Pt. Charles after Sonny charms her. Those dimples are too hard to turn away!
Amelia stops by Sonny's house and tells him that Sam saw Maureen when she took the baby. Sonny has Sam come by his house and sees if she will be honest. She lies and tries to play the victim (which may come easy to her as we see from her past), Sonny calls her out on it and she is CAUGHT!!!!! YAY!!!

Monday:
Sam defends herself to Sonny
Ric looks for information on Logan

Q and A with some of your favorites..

When recently asked the question "Is there any other career you might like to try some day?", Steve Burton, Bradford Anderson, Kelly Monaco, and Jason Thompson replied:

Steve Burton (Jason):
"Directing. It's fun! I'd rather do that than act. There's just something about being on set, shooting a film."

Bradford Anderson (Spinelli):
"I always wanted to be a baseball player. I'm from central New Hampshire, and I'm a huge Red Sox fan-I cried when they won the World Series. I also wanted to be a stockbroker, because that's what my dad was. Then, I [also] wanted to be a tennis star like Agassi."

Kelly Monaco (Sam):
"There are so many things. This is why I'm an actor, because I never could pick one career. Being an actor, I get to try everybody's career. I get to be a little bit of everything. I don't know,. I'd like to be a mother. My clock's not ticking, but I can still hear it. I do think that raising children is the toughest job on all of this planet."

Jason Thompson (Patrick):
"I'm really into design and architecture, which I've said before. I'd love to build a building. In my future, I'd love to get into the hotel business. It's one of our goals, as far as bar owners: to one day own a cool little hotel. Whether it's in New York or L.A. or some random city."


Great answers, but I must say if Steve Burton goes behind the scenes, there will be withdraws from many viewers, and Kelly Monaco's answer about motherhood is so sweet and endearing.

Did you know..

Congratulations to Jule Marie Berman (Lulu Spencer) who was recently engaged to longtime boyfriend, Mike.

Anthony Geary (Luke Spencer) and Kin Shriner (Scott Baldwin) are actually great friends despite their on screen hate filled relationship? Their angry scenes are rumored to sometimes take a long time to get through because the two friends laugh so much, however Steve Burton (Jason) and Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) still hold the title for most crackups in a scene....who would have thought?

Robin Christopher's (Skye Quartermaine) last name was "Americanized" from DiCristoforri.

Jealous Cowboy

Since Jason found baby Jake (from the EVERYDAY HEROES guest who lost her child in the fire) and returned him to Elizabeth, Lucky's jealousy was sent through the roof. Unable to contain his feelings of inadequacy, Lucky had Jason arrested for breaking his bail because he left Pt Charles to find Jake. This was just what Scott Baldwin needed to sent Jason to Pentonville!!! Jason and Sonny's cut throat attorney, Diane, says there's little she can do for Jason right now, and suggests he rides this out. Sonny promises to look after Elizabeth, and Carly visits Jason before he was taken away.

While Jason and Amelia were rescuing Jake, we found out that Sam actually witnessed the entire kidnapping and did nothing. Amelia told Sam that Jason knew the truth. Since Sam arrived to the station too late to talk to Jason, she was unable to clear things up with him. Their relationship seems to be put on hold, allowing for the build up of feelings between Jason and Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was so grateful to Jason for finding Jake. She says she knew he would, but the jealous actions and ungratefulness of Lucky is creating problems for their marriage. Elizabeth is very angry with Lucky who vows he was "just doing his job" by having Jason arrested for violating bail. Sure, we all believe that Lucky's not extremely insecure.

On another note, Logan becomes very chatty when drunk. He told Maxie and Coop that Baldwin is his father and almost squealed about Maxie and his little deal.

Tomorrow:
Jerry talks to Michael
Logan and Maxie kiss

Update

This week was full action. The viewers found out why Logan harbored so much bitterness toward Scott Baldwin as it was announced that Baldwin is actually Logan's father. Tracey wants to use this leverage to get the charges against her dropped and her discharged from ShadyBrook. This situation has also assisted in Lulu's sympathy toward Logan. It looks like Logan and Maxie's little plan to get Lulu into bed might work after all, but will he really fall for her?

Jason got out of jail on bail...and we're all very grateful for that. We know that he MUST be the one to return baby Jake to Elizabeth to really get on Lucky's nerves. His intuition toward Sam about hiding something seems to be very accurate. It was revealed today that she witnessed baby Jake being kidnapped and did nothing to stop it. Her idea of loyalty just pretty much cost her everything. She doesn't deserve Jason, and we're glad to see him realizing that.

Jerry's back and admitted to sending Jax on a random search so he could have Carly's attention. Sonny found this out and brought Jerry to his office to "talk". Kate overheard Sonny threaten Jerry, and wants to leave. She tells Carly what she saw and Carly clearly states that if she can't really handle Sonny's conflicts, she needs to leave now. That scene was actually kind of sincere.

Monday:
Jason and Amelia drive to rescue baby Jake.
Sam goes to Alexis for legal guidance

Happy Birthday

Today is the 37th birthday of Steve Burton. Happy Birthday!!!!!

revealed

Sam came clean to Jason about her knowing he fathered baby Jake, Amelia told Alexis her true identity, Kate admitted it was her who set off the fire alarm at the coffee house to interrupt Sonny and his date's (Amelia) activities.....still waiting for the biggest secret to be revealed.....Jason as the real father of baby Jake.....it's coming!!!!

Baby Snatcher and a drunk

So, I'm so intrigued as to who would really steal baby Jake, especially if they knew it was Jason's...that's a death wish....however, it is good that Sonny knows that Jason's the father and is being the voice of reason with Jason to come forward as the baby's real father. It seems to be only a matter of time before little Jake will be sporting a new name.

Sonny and Spinelli told Sonny's attorney that Jason is the father of Jake, she assured them that because he's the father, it wouldn't get him out of jail, but might cause more harm. However, she did say to be extra cautious of Sam. She seems like a real cut throat aggressive attorney....I like her...but she might be facing off with Alexis soon if Alexis needs to come to her daughter's rescue. That should be an interesting match up.

I think Carly is right to suggest that Jax is trying to keep her busy with a new hotel in Montreal so he can search for Jerry more (a little spoiler alert, but this works out with Ingo Rademacher's annual leave...so be expecting his temporary departure)
I love the new Carly, but I keep finding myself wondering how Tamara Braun (ex Carly) would have played it, but I do totally think that Laura Wright is doing a FANTASTIC job at a difficult role...just had to add that.

Sam decided to get drunk in the middle of the day and almost reveal to Carly that Jason's the real father. She also went to Elizabeth's house while she was trying to remember everything that happened. While talking to Elizabeth, she insinuated that Jake was dead, saying they've both lost children. Elizabeth was angry, and made her leave.
Amelia wonders if Sam has Jake, but something tells me Amelia might not be all that innocent in this kidnapping.

Lucky needs to go punch a punching bag or something because his cruel remarks to Elizabeth is not helping bring Jake back, and will be a constant reminder when Jake returns (because he is too important to not return...we NEED to see Jason with his child) of his true feelings.
Everyone is feeling the tension as Lulu tries to defend Elizabeth.

In the meantime, Edward has Tracey committed to Shady Brook. She tries to buy her way out, but it doesn't work. She's plotting a way for Dillon to blackmail Edward, which Alan thinks she is being dangerous setting Dillon up with an "old shark"

Tomorrow:
Kate tells Sonny to have a highly public affair with someone to keep her unrelated to him in tabloids.
Amelia and Sam talk about Jake
Carly and Jax fight

Who doesn't love him?

Reasons we love Jason Morgan:
1. He makes going to jail look Hot
2. He's so sensitive (for a hit man)
3. He only kills to protect others
4. Did we mention he's Hot
5. He'll risk everything for those he loves
6. and he dealt it to Lucky when he said "If you can't support Elizabeth, then get the hell out"

yes...today, Jason found out that Jake was kidnapped. He was the only one defending Elizabeth as everyone, including her husband, thinks she may have done something harmful to her own baby due to postpartum depression. This may be the straw that ends the Spencer marriage and returns Elizabeth where she belongs...with Jason. Lucky, maybe overreacting to circumstance, but he goes off on Elizabeth and says she's a bad mother for turning her back on Jake for a moment while someone stole him....that's probably not the best thing to say Loser!!

This tension has made its way to Lulu. As Maxie and Logan see Lulu's pain, Logan moves in to comfort/seduce her. We are hoping Lulu sees past this, but are learning some really interesting information about Logan in the meantime. He has daddy issues as his was never around growing up. He feels that he shouldn't ever have been born, and Scott Baldwin has messed with his family.

The only person to really see how Sonny is hurting from sharing his kids with their new stepdad is Kate. She admits that sometimes there is a part of her that wishes she would have had a family and her and Sonny actually share a moment where they're not competing. If they can be real with each other and she totally let her demeanor go while with him, they may have a good shot at becoming the new power couple...and we just love what this will do to Carly.

Sam and Amelia (possibly suspects of kidnapping Jake) both act weird about their whereabouts and intentions. Jason tells Sonny that Sam knows and that he "can't believe he's doing this, but put a trace on her cell and have someone follow her".

Tomorrow
Elizabeth yells at Lucky for calling her a bad momma (good job girl)
Jason tells his attorney (in a very unlike Jason type of urgency) to get him out NOW!
Amelia and Sam talk about what would happen if Jake never came back

Happy Birthday...

Today is the special birthday of Mrs. Robin Christopher (Skye Quartermaine)
Happy Birthday!!!

Where's Jake

The story of the kidnapping of Baby Jake Spencer (Morgan) has taken off. I do feel bad for Elizabeth that people are starting to wonder if she actually harmed her own baby, but what a story that would be. I really hope that's not the case because I still have high hopes for her and Jason to be together, and let's face it...they need baby Jake to really make it o'k.

Sam and Amelia wonder where each other were. Amelia seems really distraught and after hearing of the disappearance of Baby Jake, Amelia wonders if Sam had anything to do with it.

Sonny has a Father's Day barbecue at his house. It consisted of Sonny, Carly, Jax, the two boys, Kate and her publisher. Carly was very annoyed...she just seems like she want to be married to Jax and still wants Sonny to want her...not cool Carly!!!

Lucky almost gets violent with Spinelli after Spinelli rushes to the PCPD to alert Jason of baby Jake's disappearance. Spinelli's such a good friend!

Nicholas has many anger management issues he is going to have to deal with. He wants Jerry Jacks Dead and thinks he is behind the kidnapping. It seems that no matter how much Emily begs him to just be there for Lucky, he has his own agenda, which is to go to Paris to find Jerry.

Tomorrow:
Sonny and Kate flirt
Sam says she doesn't know where Jake is
Elizabeth tells Jason that Jake's gone
Lucky tells Lulu and Spinelli that Elizabeth may have done something to Jake.
