MONDAY 01. I love how Maxie takes charge. She made sure Spinelli was in pain. Good for you, honey. 02. You know, Ian,
if you want to get the hell out of Port Charles, there are far better
ways of attempting it than standing on the dock that every person in
Port Charles is REQUIRED to go by. I’d like to go there with a watch
one day, and just take notes on how long it is with no one on the dock.
As I’ve said many times before, why in the world someone hasn’t
installed a camera there is beyond me. You could be rich in one weekend.
But I digress. Jerry tells Ian that he’ll follow him wherever he goes.
Well, people are always saying stuff like that. 03. Claudia is talking about Sonny to Jason, and you gotta love her assessment: “I don’t know you that well, but I can see that you are focused. You are organized, you set limits, you don’t mix business with pleasure. Tell me something; why are you taking orders? Why didn’t you whack that guy a long time ago and take over?” Sometimes I wonder that myself. 04. WELL, WELL LAINEY HAS MADE AN APPEARANCE. SHOCKING NEWS! 05. The thing about Patrick and Robin and Robin’s “hot” mother got really old really fast. 06. You know what, Lulu? Neither Sonny nor Johnny gives a shit what your opinion is about anything right now. 07. So let me get this straight. Spinelli makes an absolute fool of himself and everyone that paid any attention to him in the ER, and now he expects Maxie to help him get Devlin up eight floors to the psych ward? And then what? Are we supposed to believe that the people in the pysch ward won’t realize they’ve got another patient who just happens to be Dr. Ian Devlin? Okay, I’ve got to see this one. 08. And it doesn’t take long for stupidity to once again rear its ugly head. I’m supposed to believe that brilliant Spinelli is so stupid that he thinks he and Maxie can dress up like doctors (masks and all), throw Devlin on a gurney WITH A SHEET OVER HIS HEAD so he looks dead, spin him around a couple of times IN FRONT OF EPIPHANY, CASSIUS and LEYLA, and then zoom off, and no one’s going to notice? 09. Hey, Maxie, Diane is the best piece of you-know-what to come along in your entire boring life. Are you so scared of standing up to Sonny because he’s your boss, and you’re afraid he’s going to fire you, and there goes that fat paycheck and that REALLY FAT bonus at Christmas? Or maybe are you still in love with Carly such that between Carly and Sonny’s fat paycheck there’s NO WOMAN who could possibly compete with that? Diane, you might as well save your breath. Everything you’re telling Max is absolutely correct, but you don’t get it: if you have to tell Max this any of this at all, there’s no way he’s ever going to stand up to Sonny. 10. Lulu says to Johnny, “How am I supposed to forget that you tried to kill Sonny?” Frankly, I don’t care if you forget it or not. In fact, I’d prefer that you remember every moment of that confrontation. 11. Don’t you think it’s ironic that Johnny tried to kill Sonny, and the only thing that prevented Sonny from croaking was that the bullet was stopped by Sonny’s holstered gun? TUESDAY 12. MY GOD, A LUCKY APPEARANCE! 13. Not a good move, Claudia, shooting the shooter. Now Jason isn’t going to trust you at all. 14. Did you know that one in five American adults has genital herpes? 15. Kate, don’t waste your time. Sonny is determined to make himself responsible for Michael, and to do everything possible, including killing himself. And no matter what you say, or how often you say it, he’s going to keep blaming himself until it suits him to stop. 16. This episode is Casablanca all over again. Remember when Claude Rains says he has to shut down the place because he’s “shocked to find out there’s gambling going on” as the manager is handling him his winnings? Alexis was at the Haunted Star opening night and did very well for herself, including playing hanky panky with Jerry under the roulette table (like ANY gambling place would allow you to do that). Now she's suddenly "just discovered" that the Haunted Star is involved in a money laundering scheme? How she determined that we'll never know. I hope Luke is smart enough to have two sets of books. 17. Incidentally, Maxie, I know I’m not with it, but what is that stuff around your lips? I thought lipstick went ON your lips, not above and below them. 18. Sonny, you’ve never behaved like a religious person, but I suggest you read some history, in the religious realm and other places. For example, if I were any of the martyrs that died fighting for Christianity, I’d be really pissed with you. Maybe all the Christians should have given up after the first one was killed. There are examples all over the world of broken truces and broken promises. But there are also a lot of people who keep trying, and you’ve insulted all of their efforts by acting like you tried once, and now you’re never going to try again. 19. Ian confesses to Kate that he was the one who shot Michael? WHAT???? 20. Good for you, Maxie. It’s about time someone got some good writing to tell Lulu where to get off. What blows me away is stuff Lulu says, like: “You have been stringing Spinelli along for weeks, and he’s too sweet and trusting to see you for the skank that you really are.” Excuse me, Lulu, but that’s a perfect description of you and how you kept Spinelli on a string while all kinds of other guys fell all over you. You chose Logan over Spinelli; then you chose Johnny over Spinelli; and at the beginning you had Dillon and Milo in the mix with Spinelli, and you played them all. If anyone used Spinelli as a substitute boyfriend, Lulu, it's you. Lulu says, “I would never hurt Spinelli,” but Maxie’s right when she says that Lulu already has, and didn’t even give it a second thought until she saw Spinelli with someone else. It must have really fried Lulu when Spinelli didn’t just drop everything to talk with her.
22. LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: Kate is giving Devlin one million dollars so he won’t kill Sonny, or so that Sonny won’t kill him? I have a better idea, Kate. Don’t tell me you don’t have a gun. Kill Devlin yourself. Or wire the money and then take it back, or don’t wire it at all if he isn’t around. Or slip out the back and get the hell out of there, and find Sonny. There are a bunch of things you could do, but I wouldn’t give this guy a million dollars to get away for all the tea in China. 23. AND I WOULDN’T GIVE HIM A PENNY UNTIL HE TOLD ME WHO HIRED HIM. Now whether you choose to believe that what he’s telling you is correct is another story. He’s so desperate to get out, he may tell you anything, or maybe he’s just desperate enough to tell the truth.
WEDNESDAY 24. Ladies, learn how to LOCK your computer so no one else can touch the contents. Since all you’re doing is trying to sabotage each other, I would think this would be an intelligent step to take. 25. I always get very confused about Maxie and Lulu and Kate. First of all, Kate had Clarisse; she didn’t have two assistants. Second, does Kate Howard impress you as the kind of woman who wants constant tension, constant animosity in her presence? Why would you put up with that? 26. Elizabeth, if you’re having problems making you job fit into your lifestyle, why not call Jason and have him hire you a nanny? 27. THIS IS STUPID. No judge would allow Spinelli to start jumping around like a monkey before the hearing has even started. “Let’s hear what the gentleman has to say?” WHAT??? Although I must say, “Shut up Mr. Spinelli, now!” was wonderful. 28. Why is it that are a number of lawyers in this show, and yet the court scenes are always AWFUL? And do you notice it’s never two strong capable attorneys battling it out, it’s always one attorney and the writers making the other attorney some stupid idiot.

WEDNESDAY (continued) 29. Telling two people that they have to get back some document or they’re BOTH fired is stupid. Obviously all employment is at will, but legally you have no right to fire someone for someone else’s screwup, although we all know it’s done all the time. You know, both of them should quit, and then let Kate find somebody else to take her shit. But Maxie really wants this job, and the writers are determined to screw it up for her. Why can’t the writers make her terrific, and Kate’s protégée, and have her and Kate actually get along? I guess having anything nice happen to Maxie is too much for the writers to handle. 30. Anthony knew the
difference between right and wrong, but it's not going to do Alexis and
Diane any good. 31. While there are things about Dr. Ford I like, I don’t believe for one minute that anyone at the hospital would tolerate his chewing out a nurse AT THE FRONT DESK. My guess is not only is that illegal, and certain in some form totally inappropriate, but it doesn’t do the hospital any good for the patients to hear stuff like that. Come on, Dr. Ford; no one would allow you to do that. Obviously, you take the nurse into a private room, with her supervisor and someone from Human Resources, and the matter gets discussed. THURSDAY 32. Spinelli has FINALLY found a backbone when it comes to Lulu. He’s carefully told her his opinion regarding Logan, regarding Johnny, and regarding whether or not Jason should tell the world about Jake. But he’s never had the nerve to stand up to her when it comes to other women. Sometimes he finds his dislike for other women is because of what he actually sees them do; but mostly his opinion of certain women was given to him at an early age by Lulu, and she made sure he saw what she wanted him to see, so those opinions were reinforced. But let’s not leave Spinelli off the hook. It didn’t take long for him to step in line all by himself. See, it’s amazing to me how people’s opinions of other people change depending on the “likeability factor”. Even Spinelli admitted that he started out hating Maxie, and now things have changed drastically. So people like Lulu who have always hated Maxie will continue to do so. But Spinelli will never take the same information and translate it into hating Maxie ever again. He’s “seen” a different side of her. 33. Back to Dr.
Ford's tirade for a moment. Are the writers setting us up for something
here, or is it just random stuff that will lead nowhere. 34. You know, Lulu, it takes a lot of nerve to tell Spinelli how Maxie broke up Lucky’s marriage. WHAT DID YOU DO TO GEORGIE AND DILLON? Pulling out that tired old laundry list of everything “bad” Maxie’s ever done in her life is ridiculous. If you and Johnny were still going strong, all you’d be thinking about is getting off work so you could hop into bed with Johnny (can’t blame you). What Spinelli was doing and with whom would mean nothing to you. 35. So Anthony got off. WHAT A SHOCK! 36. So Nikolas is agonizing over “that one choice” he made that could have changed everything, that one choice that could have put us in a different place. But that assumes that there is one choice out of all those thousands you’ve made Nikolas, that could have done that. WHAT IF EVERY CHOICE YOU MADE WAS LEADING TO THE SAME PLACE? Maybe the way Emily died might have been different, but the end result would have been the same. So you decide not to have the ball, and you take her to Paris to celebrate the engagement, and a car hits and kills her as she’s crossing the street. See, what you’re forgetting is that Emily was killed because someone wanted revenge on Jason; she wasn’t killed because of anything YOU did. So if there really was “that one choice”, then the choice that should have been made was that JASON DECIDED NOT TO KILL DIEGO’S FATHER. 37. Kate, I don’t know where you got that dress, but BAG IT. One sleeve is longer than the other; okay, but because of the way you stand, the side with the short sleeve also is shorter at the bottom, while the dress falls over the shoulder of the other side. It looks like you had to put the dress on quickly, and something didn’t get tucked into the right place or something. Too weird. 38. Kate, DON’T BE STUPID. PLEASE DON’T BE STUPID. Ian is obviously a total asshole, whose made it clear to you that a million bucks soon won’t be enough, and what happens when Sonny finds out you’ve given money to the person who shot Michael? WELL, STOP TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE ANSWER. GO TO SONNY, and DO IT NOW. He’s standing right there. Tell him straight out what you did, and do it now before the whole thing gets out of hand. If someone is going to blackmail you for trying to supposedly save his life, then he’s obviously an asshole who should have gotten a bullet between the eyes a long time ago. Because of his incompetence as an assassin, Michael is doing his best impression of a rutabaga. And you’re going to finance that kind of person? Get serious. 39. So now Sonny has the nerve to blame Diane for the fact that Anthony got out of jail? He actually has the nerve to tell her that this is all her fault because she let it happen because she was too involved with Max? Shove it up your ass, Sonny. What crap. You know, Diane, Corinthos must be paying you a fortune. 40. Claudia, so now we understand your motive for lying on the stand. Actually, everything you said makes perfect sense. No, there wasn’t a damn thing the state could do to keep Anthony in jail, so why take the side of the team that’s going down with the Titanic? And Johnny, you look pretty dumb for not being able to figure that out. But, Claudia, you’re the one who’s really going to look stupid of you detail you plans to Johnny and Anthony has a listening device in the room. And I hate to tell you, but “it was the only way to get daddy to trust me”??? He’ll never trust you, Claudia, so you doing anything and explain the motivation as trying to get trust, you’re kidding yourself. 41. OH MY GOD, THE SPEECH OF THE YEAR BY MAX. MAX, I LOVE YOU. Tell me god I wasn’t hallucinating. I may NEVER delete that moment. Do you know how long I’ve waited for the writers to give him something like that to say? FINALLY! FRIDAY 42. Well, Lulu, you must be lonely these days. There’s Spinelli, who’s far more interested in Maxie. There’s Johnny, who’s determined to run his daddy’s business, and (for a multitude of reasons) told you to take a flying leap. And then there’s Logan, who now works for Anthony. Let’s not forget Dillon, who’s far more interested in making movies than hanging out with you. Hey, Lulu, I think Milo is still available. 43. Oh oh … Spinelli has just found out, with Jason and Maxie present, that the million dollars missing from Kate’s account was wired to Ian Devlin. So Jason, stop acting like a jerk; if it weren’t for Maxie who came to Spinelli with this information (the missing money), god only knows how long it would have taken you to tracked down Devlin. 44. Great line from Luke: “I could still save the world if it deserved it.” 45. Hey, Sonny, if 1 person in 10,000 with this kind of injury DOES wake up, then why SHOULDN’T Michael be that person? Somebody’s got to be that person, so why shouldn’t it be Michael? How do you know what makes that one person in 10,000 special enough or different enough to pull out of the coma? How do you it isn’t the solid love and faith of a wife or husband OR MOTHER who simply refuses to let go? 46. So here’s my prediction on Michael. Carly will try to take care of him, but won’t be able to. So Michael ends up someplace like Shady Brook where he’s mentioned occasionally on the show. Then in X number of months, Carly will get a call, or she’ll be there and Michael will suddenly wake up and be okay. Of course, he will also have aged about 5 years or so. Then Kristina (who will sent off to some exclusive Boarding School) will come home to celebrate Michael’s awakening, and they will have aged her as well. They’ll both decide to stay in Port Charles. Kristina will tutor Michael, and they’ll be a couple and blah blah blah. You get the point. 47. FANTASTIC. Maxie has stowed away. 48. Anthony has done just what you knew he would; he’s shut Claudia out. And hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
