All Roads...

Why is it that all roads lead back to the mob on General Hospital? There isn't one story happening right now that doesn't have ties. Even some of the angst between Robin and Patrick can be traced back to her connection to Sonny. While we're on the subject of The King Of Crime, can someone please tell me why everything he does is justified and excused? The man kills people for a living, and has never paid. How ridiculous is that? The only one who seems to see his true nature is Kristina. Though, truth be told, I suspect she'll eventually bow down as well. Absolutely putrid. One more note on this subject. Maurice Bernard is a terrible actor, and if we are forced to suffer with this character day after day, the role must be recast. I hate them both!

Death to Lisa! Character and actress are absolutely useless. Instead of throwing an old flame in the mix, and forcing something so unnatural, why not give Robin and Patrick legitimate obstacles to overcome? A medical flareup surrounding Robin's HIV could be an organic strain on their marriage. It's not that hard, writers! Use what you have!

One last thing I must address. Vanessa Marcil Giovinazzo's return as Brenda has me angry, and it hasn't even happened yet. The overpromotion is ridiculous! Granted, I wasn't a fan of the show during any of her previous tenures, but I have to question the logic of those in charge to bet the entire farm on her. People aren't watching! What if this all goes bust? Oh, by the way, people who aren't fans of GH are pretty pissed that the other two soaps in the ABC lineup are being preempted on August 10th in one final effort to pimp. Just what you want to do, alienate what little is left of your ever-dwindling audience! Really smart!
