Lucky, Dante, and the newly revived Spinelli are about to make an unlikely trio to rescue Elizabeth and Maxie. I sure hope Sam loves this ring.
Why does everyone keep defending Sonny on the basis of losing his wonderful Brenda? He and Brenda didn't spend 10 minutes (literally!) figuring out if they would work as a married couple so I have no sympathy for either of them. Given how many women Sonny has been through since his first time round with Brenda I really don't think she is his great love anyway. Will it be Kate again?
No shower sex with Dr. Drake, darn! I guess when you are an old married couple, those scenes get cut.
Tracy dispenses good advice to Lulu again. She really is a good stepmother. With the Q clan back on the front burner, I wonder if Tracy's sons will reappear. I've only seen them in a few old YouTube clips so I'd like to find out more about Tracy's relationship or lack thereof with her children. I always loved it when Brook Lynn called her "Granny."
And Tracy and Anthony sizzle. I know he is a crazy and lethal old guy but I can't help but enjoy his scenes.

The new Kate
Kate is back with a new face and apparently the same personality. I don't know why the change but I like having the character around again. Wonder who she was talking to today. I don't think it was the unseen Federico. No, I'm wondering if it was Franco as he is rumored to be returning. Kate was part of his original entre into Port Charles. Having Kate back should give Olivia someone new to talk to and perhaps Sonny who desperately needs a change in tactics.
And Spinelli is back! Physically he has been present but psychologically and emotionally, not. Yet there is still something from his alter ego he needs to retrieve. If only he can get that connection to the stars and perhaps save Elizabeth in the process.
I find it unbelievable that Anthony would put up with so much ineptitude from his flunkies. He seems to have friends in all the right places and plenty of money. He can't get better help?
Boy everyone is throwing Tracy under the bus. Luke! You'd better get back to town to help your wife out of a big jam. Maybe Tracy's past is why she put up with so much from Luke.
Did Carly call Shawn "honey" today or some other endearment? Hopefully he is going to work security at the hospital. They need it.

What't the hurry?
Kristina needs surgery, no question. She can't go around with limited blood flow to her brain, but it isn't as though she is passing out every other minute. Why can't Patrick take a break and then do her surgery another day. I get that hospitals have to move patients along, but in this case, Sonny can certainly foot the bill for extending Kristina's stay no questions asked.
It is all getting set up for a disastrous surgery. Jason just came through with flying colors unless of course like me you wanted him to get a little more of his memory back. Sibohan's surgeries were perfect - if only hospitals had better security. No one has apparently notified the security guards to keep Anthony out as he is there practically every day now. We are due for a mistake in the OR and I don't mean Elizabeth zoning out.
Apparently Elizabeth won't be assisting on this surgery as she is going to be tied up. I swear she is the stupidest woman. She couldn't call Dante to follow the drug ring link or just wait until the guy took more drugs.
I thought the scene with Edward and Ethan was wonderful. You knew that Edward knew who he was helping. He wasn't going to put his company jet at Ethan's disposal for just anyone. So is Skye staying or going? If she stays, I hope she gets more of a storyline than every man in town swooning over her. I like seeing her and Tracy fighting like family.
Poor Matt. He is a brain surgeon who does life saving cancer research on the side and he is making excuses for his girlfriend because her job is so important? I love Maxie but she never appreciates the men she has until they are gone.

First I'd just like to add a vote for Skye's beautiful ensemble today. For one thing, it reminded me of a great read dress and black and cream scarf I used to wear in the '80's. My dress wasn't as fitted as hers but it was always a favorite. Whoever came up with the idea of that little flap over the arm hole which hides often less than perfect arms on most of us is genius. Skye is tipping the fashion balance of the show onto the positive side again. Good thing with Diane away for awhile on another book tour. She should have taken Spinelli with her. Isn't he a walking ad for that book?
General Hospital has either great dressers or awful ones. Maxie is so dead on most of the time and her assessment of Brenda was perfect - she was a fashion disappointment in every way. Whoever styled her should be ousted.
Now to more important subjects. Kristina suddenly has a serious surgery in her future. I hope we are going somewhere with this and it isn't just another opportunity for Dr. Drake to show off his surgical skills. There wasn't much build-up, almost no controversy over having the surgery and it seems certain she will be fine by the time of Sam and Jason's wedding in 2 weeks. I don't see the point here. Though it does give Ethan screen time which is always a bonus.
Loved Maxie and Lulu's talk today. They so clearly nailed each other's problems. I'm hoping Lulu does move back home with Maxie and we have more of their interaction. Maybe Lulu will take her old job back.
I also liked what Jason said to Michael today though I fear he might as well have been talking to one of his monitors for all the good it is going to do. Michael is determined to make his dad proud. Speaking of Sonny, where is he? Back in Bensonhurst or wherever that key he carries around fits?

Anti climatic
Jason is awake. Good. Jason recognizes Sam. Better. Jason remembers their wedding date. Wonderful.
Jason is the same as he was? Not so great. What was the point? I loved the fantasy scenes with all the women in his life wondering what if and it was pretty clear he would end up with Sam. What I wanted though was him to remember some of what happened before his first accident so he could be drawn back into the Quartermaine's. I think this was a popular wish so I think there are going to be some pretty unhappy viewers if something doesn't trigger Jason's recently cleared out brain to flash back to a Q event.
I want to be Olivia in my next life. I want to look as gorgeous as she does and most importantly I want to be her sub the next shower scene. Very hot and something tells me there is a hot topic in Memphis that Steve wants to avoid. It is time we added some spice to their relationship that involves keeping them clothed and doesn't involve Steve's sister or Olivia's son.
Anthony is just everywhere these days and he sure can speed dial a phone. Who says you lose dexterity or brain cells with age? Everyone underestimates Anthony and I hope none or main characters end up regretting it.

Things that needed to be said
Since I seemed to have missed a couple of cues this week, I rewatched Wednesday's episode on-line. What a great show, almost as good as Monday's episode with everyone daydreaming about Jason's life had he not been in the first accident.
On Wednesday, Alexis and Carly purged themselves of what they really felt about each other and their ex's Jax and Sonny. I'm happy that Alexis realizes she can't protect Kristina - who is now 18, don't ya know? - from Sonny by forbidding her from seeing him. Carly could learn something from that. If I were Carly, I'd be terrified of how Sonny is manipulating Michael but she can't fix it.
Lucky is absolutely right in that Lulu doesn't give him the same benefit of the doubt she gives her Dad. Why is that? Does she really think Luke is just too far gone but Lucky can be saved. She definitely has a higher standard of behaviour for her brother. Dante is sure between a rock and a hard place or an addict cop and his sister who happens to be his girlfriend. The guy just can not win. The argument between Dante and Lulu was so good because they were both right. I don't want to see them break up but I can see how that now is not the time to be moving forward.
Elizabeth, your ex-husband is waving a big red flag in front of your face and you aren't seeing it. Lucky was quick to assume that Elizabeth would blame him for the missing drugs. She has done nothing but defend him and believe in him. This should be a huge clue for her that he is far too defensive. She wants so bad to believe in him, to be the one person who does, that she refuses to see what is brimming right in front of her.
One thing that I don't think was ever revealed were the results of Sibohan's autopsy and if anything is going to be done about it.
One thing I learned though from watching the episode is how Anthony was set-up or supposed to be set up if Patrick hadn't interrupted him on Thursday.
Unfortunately, Monday is a holiday for GH. When I used to watch ATWT there were few holidays but we did miss episodes on Labor Day as they ran tennis tournaments that day and the following Friday as well. So this year, I only miss one soap day. Still there are plenty of cliffhangers. Jason is waking up and Kristina is passed out. Lots of hospital time I'd say for next week.

What's that again?
Apparently I'm going to have to rewind and rewatch some stuff. I must have blinked and missed a couple of things. Where is Morgan going off to school and why? I'm as confused as Robin over Jason's missing body. Didn't they think Anthony would notice the bed was empty before he tried to smother it's contents with a pillow or whatever he was going to do? I thought Ethan really did care about Kristina and was just afraid to admit it. If so, he is an even better con than I thought. How did Johnny get tied up in Skye's bed so fast?
So there are some things not flowing smoothly on the story telling front for me. I haven't missed any episodes and I'm a bit lost. The old joke with a soap was that you could miss a week and pick right back up, not here.
Still, these are minor complaints and I truly could have missed some clues. On a positive note, I loved the long overdue argument between Alexis and Carly yesterday.
Some things never change, Kristina is about to have a crisis and Alexis is not on the scene. I don't think Ethan is coming to her rescue this time either. Why do all the single women in Port Charles wander around on those docks alone?
If flowers have feelings as Anthony seems convinced they do, his orchid is sure depressed from rejection. No one wants him or his plant around and yet he laughs it off since of course, he is holding the cards. Though one thing I did catch was Tracy accusing Skye of manufacturing evidence against her. Could it be that is what Skye did? She doesn't have real proof so she made some up and sold it to Anthony? That would be very foolish. Oh, gee, now I sound like Anthony. Well, I don't talk to my plants. Then again, they don't look nearly as nice as his.
