The Good, The Bad & The Stuff In Between
A Week In Port Charles
Glad to see that Carly beat Lady Jane at her own game and I loved how by
the time Jax arrived they were laughing and drinking together. I wished Jax
(from the looks of the previews) would not have seemed so opposed to Carly
and him getting married. I can’t believe Alexis had everyone involved in the
surgery arrested, even though Sam had gotten better because of it. I loved
how no one was going to get bailed out or leave until everyone was able to
get (well except for Patrick who seemed like the only one wanting to leave
everyone there) and I can’t believe that Lucky still can’t seem to let go of
his insane idea that Elizabeth and Patrick are involved with one another.
Again, Sonny and Emily wasted too much air time and luckily I taped it and
so they were fast-forward material.
Alexis’ seems to think that she really knows what Sam would want, even
though she barely knows anything about her. Jason is the best person to make
decisions that he knows Sam would want but now he won’t be able to do
anything since Alexis got the bright idea to move Sam to an unknown
location. It has been interesting to see the reunion between Robert, Anna
and Robin and I do look forward to seeing what is coming up next for the
three of them. Carly really had a point with Ric today, he kept going on
about how Alexis was doing the right thing but as soon as Carly mentioned if
Sam had taken Alexis somewhere would Ric be doing the same as Jason to find
his wife. At least finally someone mentioned what has been obvious for
awhile, that Maxie has a crush on Nikolas and I am still not sure how I
would feel about this pairing. I am really getting annoyed with Lucky, he
has the nerve to have Elizabeth followed, I hope that when Lucky does
confront her that she is doing something good and so then he will look like
an idiot.
I couldn’t believe that Carly went to Jason, so that she could get some
muscle to help her with keeping Jax’s secret. I love the friendship between
Jason and Carly and if I didn’t think that their friendship might be ruined
if they got together, then I would want to see them as a couple. Maxie has
some nerve blackmailing Jax, I think she is just doing it because she cares
about Nikolas. It has been an interesting twist that Epiphany ends up being
Stan’s mother; I like her as a character because she is willing to call
people on their stuff which is a rare quality. I know Alexis is coming with
good intentions in regards to Sam but she sure seems to know a lot about
what her daughter would want even though she barely knows anything about
her, let alone what she would want in this situation. I like the fact that
Stan pointed out to his mother that Sam and Jason are engaged because it
seems like that fact usually slips people’s minds.
For a Friday show, I was disappointed in what we got to see. Although I did
like the scenes that Carly and Jason were in, the rest was a bit dry for me.
I still can’t get into the whole Sonny and Emily relationship and wish that
she would just go away. I can’t believe that Maxie showed Robin the
paternity results, it is like the writers want both Carly and Robin involved
in another paternity situation in which whatever decision is made will seem
to be the wrong one. I like that Jason and Sonny are starting to get along
again and it was interesting to see Sonny giving Jason advice on how to run
the business. The actors and writers are giving some great stuff in terms of
the Sam’s surgery and Alexis finding out that Sam is her daughter, some very
emotional performances.
