Were we supposed to cheer when GH’s Johnny grabbed Claudia and threatened to crush her skull or be horrified? Because with this being a show where Luke the rapist is a wacky hero, Sonny shot his wife, and Jason laid a plastic tarp down for Faith, I can’t really tell. It sort of feels like,… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
Almost an entire episode of General Hospital devoted to people smiling, laughing, having a good time? Mac flirting with Alexis? Coleman calling back to his thing for uptight, prissy, drunk women by putting the moves on Kate? Matt’s lack of a love life actually being addressed? Jason and Sam being all adorable and going home… Read More GH: once more, with feeling.
So, I have this pattern with GH. I like one episode and then the very next one sends me plummeting back to disappointment-land. The lead up to the carnival, on Tuesday, was integrated, fun, and aside from a few missteps, incredibly enjoyable. The fall-out yesterday…? Was baffling. Can someone explain to me the need to… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
Despite the fact that General Hospital and I have a dysfunctional, on-again-off-again relationship that’s probably rivals Sonny and Carly’s (except GH has never shot me in the head!), I am still perfectly capable of recognizing what it does well.

Lucky is a cop, and getting into bar brawls is just plain stupid. And Ethan…? He’s a sticky-fingered con artist! He has no room to judge somebody… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
Joe and I had fun with yesterday’s GENERAL HOSPITAL — if you call fun e-mailing each other back and forth going, “Wait, is this the same night as Claudia’s car accident?” Between the brain surgery sequence a few days ago, the trip to the police station and the scenes at the Quartermaine mansion, we were totally… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
You know, I accept that Sonny Corinthos is the center of GH now. There’s no use in wailing about the mob-driven storytelling. That ship done sailed. The ship that hasn’t sailed? Sonny’s love life. That can, and should, be dry-docked and overhauled. Almost every single time he gets involved with a woman, it’s the same… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
