Harder than Corundom.

GAH, when GH is bad, it's so hard to write about it.
So I'll make it brief.
Young "Houseian" Doctor Buttmunch (who is totally growing on me and has now earned his name, Patrick) talks his amazingly fabulous if damaged dad to call the rehab clinic.
I know it's supposed to be Rick Springfield's last day but, God willing, they bring him back because he's freakin' awesome.
So, Noah Drake is off to rehab while his slimy but cool son, Patrick, is trying to make it with every female who has a pulse. If I were Lucas, I'd keep my head down, too.
Robin Scorpio, the HIV+ urchin and general know-it-all busibody is doing what she does best....traipsing around Port Charles late at night dropping in on unsuspecting people and telling them how to live their lives while neglecting her own.
As a bit of a cumuppance, she alights on Carly's new doorstep only to encounter Patrick already there (he was making a HOUSE call.....shout out! for Michael who had a dip in the lake. More on that in a second.....if I can keep my lunch down.)
Patrick, following Carly's lead, plants a wet one on Carly's smackeroo and shocks Robin's sensibilities. Good for you, Patrick! Robin? Here's a clue. Go home and mind your own business.
Just before harassing Carly, Robin spent some quality time with Jason and Sam...telling Jason what she will say in the Manny Ruiz deposition and telling him off about his past with her. In some ways she's right to tell the sanctimonious hitman off ("sanctimonious" and "hitman" are two words just begging to be told off) but in other ways she's totally out of line.
Did Jason lie about Michael's paternity? Yes. Did Robin stick her nose in his business and tell the real Father (Jason's brother, AJ) and thereby a) go against Jason's obvious wishes and b) ruin the child's life? Yes.
So, Robin? Take your stupid nose ring and go away.
=====
Once again, because apparently the child is too stupid to live and God is trying to tell him something, Michael Corinthos has his annual tumble into the frozen lake.
Sadly for all of us, not only does the demon spawn live but, he's saved by none other than the "happen to be passing by" Emily.
Right.
The result is a disgusting slurping scene between Emily and Sonny. This time it's not one of the "brain dead please oh please don't become a doctor" Emily's fantasies. It's real.
She's curled up in front of the fire warming up and Sonny comes in to thank her for saving Michael from the briny deep.
sigh
What has happened to my soap?
I'm gonna rant for a second. I recommend earplugs.
[rant]
One of my favourite scenes of all time out of modern GH is the one where Jason and Courtney (doing a fabulous homage to La Femme Nikita) had fallen in love. Jason knew Sonny would never approve of his pristine little blonde ingenue of a sister falling for a big ole dangerous hit man....so they kept on the QT until one wintry night they decided it was time to let Sonny in on the secret.
They drove up to the cabin in the woods where Sonny had romantically taken his wife Carly for a weekend.
On the way they careened off the road. Jason almost died. In a marvelous turn, he told Courtney that ever since his brain damage, he's never been like other people. He is almost impervious to temperature changes, to pain and to sensation. However, he goes on to say, people think he's stoic.....but he's not. He can see inside people; whether they are lying or not; what emotional state they are in. He's more emotional than he ever was before but he knows that he's so dangerous a man that he has to over-control himself.
That was a thing of beauty. The writing was great, the idea was cool and Steve Burton totally sold it.
When they are saved, we discover Jason has had a punctured lung through the entire scene.
O_O
Wow.
He ends up at GH and goes through surgery.
Of course Sonny is at his bedside.
And the very nanosecond Jason is awake, Sonny starts to berate him about his affair with Courtney. He tells him he's too dangerous for Sonny's little sister and that his line of work will never be "okay" enough for her.
He reduces Jason to tears.
It was gut wrenching.
sigh
I have it on tape if anyone wants a copy.
Now?
NOW WHAT DO THESE CRACK MONKEYS GIVE US?!
Jason tells Sonny repeatedly to stay away from his little sister Emily and we end last week with tonsil hockey.
No lung surgery, no "I was on my way to tell you but got in an accident...." No redemption whatsosever. No innocence.
Just, Jason told me not to so I'm gonna. Like a freakin' five year old.
He's just vile. It's okay to say those horrid things to Jason as he's lying on a gurney post surgery but the rules don't apply to Sonny.
Nice way to be a best friend you filth.
It's not only disgusting it's making the character of Sonny Corinthos a flaming asshole hypocrite and insulting the viewing audience as if we couldn't remember some great work done merely a couple of years ago.

GAH.
Now I have to go clean my eyes out with bleach just for remembering Friday's scene.
bleh
Lunch? Meet toilet bowl.
You people writing GH suck.

Robin can harass Carly till the cows come home :) And I agreed with what Robin did back then. At that point, the writers hadn't trashed AJ the way they ended up doing. He had potential. He deserved to know Michael was his. I was very upset when he tuned out to be the stalker [sigh] I've always blamed Carly for everything that happened, all of it. It all sits at her doorstep and I would like nothing better than Jason to come to his senses and show Carly the door -- permanently. The woman is a blight.
Can you tell I have strong feelings on the matter? :)
Jason won't, though. For some strange reason his love for Carly is canon.
I'm jazzing on this new Carly, though, I have to admit.
Tell ya what!? I'll trade you 5 "Um"ily's for one Carly? LOLOL
(Don't get me started on Leeeeez.)
