RIDICULOUSLY short lois and julia returns we got when he left the first
time...)
so check it out if you want...

Like Julie said: The child of Robert and Anna isn't any more competant

have failed miserably as godfathers. And even Duke managed to botch this.
As though it weren't bad enough when they made Robin want to do something
with her life as "normal" as be a doctor, but now for her to be SO naive
and SO... WHAT?
It's as bad as her being a sanctimoious harpy.
Sheesh.
Guza rocks with Spencers and Cassadines, but he needs a crash course in

I loved it when Bobbie let him have it, that's the Bobbie i remembered.
</excerpt>
Actually, I thought Bobbie sounded like a HUGE hypocrite. I this she is
imposing a monumental double standard. It's perfectly ok for her to be
pissed at Luke for with-holding info about her daughter, but then she
actually has the nerve to take Luke's side when he does the same thing
she was ticked about to someone else. No way, Jose.
Luke and Stefan both need to be THRASHED, up one side and down the other
for summarily deciding what Laura should and should not be told. And I
wish (pipe dream, I know) that she would come back and tear them both to
SHREDS for dolling out info that she has ever right to have. It's a
dispicable habit and both of them have it. And it's, IMO, the same thing
that Luke did to Lucky.
No, I wouldn't have expected him to tell Lucky when he was a kid, but
when something is public record like that, and you are living in the same
town where it happened, Luke had no right to let someone else tell Lucky
that first. He had an obligation to be the one to tell him.
Yeah, Lucky would have been hurt and angry and disillusioned, but he's
right, the way this played out makes Luke look like an amazing hypocrite.
He basically breeds Lucky from birth to hate the Cassadines. And then
he either specifically or implicitly says that Nikolas was a child of
rape, and folds that into the deck of hatred he and Lucky have stored up
for the Cassadine men.
So far the only thing I can blame Lucky for is the fact that he went to
Bobbie's at all in the first place. That was just dumb.
<excerpt>>I loved the scene with Jason and Stephan. Stephan is going to
find out who Jason really is.
</excerpt>I agree with that one. Stefan needs to be knocked on his butt
every once in a while. And I'd rather see someone other than Luke get a
crack at it now and then.

absolutely. i'm sorry--i used to really like robin--but her efforts to
do ANYTHING other than whine and look pathetic were COMPLETELY
ridiculous. i understand she's sick, and weak, and tiny, and all
that...but she was just so ineffectual! this is supposed to be robin,
expert sharpshooter? this person who can't even break out of an
ordinary room that was never intended or designed to be used as a
prison? puh-LEEZE. that's okay, robin...just sit there and wait for
jason to show up on his white horse. gag.
>As though it weren't bad enough when they made Robin want to do

>to be SO naive and SO... WHAT?
pitiful? weak? helpless? passive? incapable? i could go on and
on...
>It's as bad as her being a sanctimoious harpy.
oh and THAT too...the second jason DOES show up on his white horse, she
IMMEDIATELY reverts back to "robin knows best" mode?!? come on robin,
the guy just saved your life, and now you're going to go right back to
treating him like a CHILD??? don't get me wrong, i don't think killing
tony would have been the smartest move for jason to make either...but
her tone just really gets to me these days. it's like "the great oz has
spoken," or something.
>Guza rocks with Spencers and Cassadines, but he needs a crash course
>in writing for everyone else.
true. i DID love it when carly was so overcome with relief that she
called bobbie "mama," but i guess she technically counts as a spencer...
:)
(combining posts, since the topic was similar...)
>The entire time Jason was at the cabin I kept yelling, "Cell phone!"
>and "9-1-1!" at the TV.
and "why on earth are you just SITTING there?!? LEAVE!!!"
>And where on EARTH was Rinaldo?
that's the one that REALLY irked me. we all KNOW jason never goes
anywhere without guards--and they all of a sudden showed up in that
scene where they were tying tony up--so explain to me how tony would
have ever even gotten into the cabin, let alone have a chance to pull a
GUN on jason. pathetic. at least it's over...and i LOVED in the
preview that it's the interns who are there when robin gets rushed into
the hospital. it's about TIME we acknowledge that this is all in ONE
hospital! YEAH CROSSOVERS!!! :)

Jason discovered that Robin and Nik were together the afternoon that Robin
disappeared. He went to Spook Central to question Nik (leading to another
nice confrontation between Jason--I love those suits!--and Stefan), found
out that Tony had dropped a receipt and Robin picked it up, and that Robin
then told Nik she had to go, and there was something she might be able to
do for Michael. I don't actually remember that last comment happening, so
maybe I misheard Nik's retelling of events. At any rate, Jason, proving
that he can think, took no time at all to put two and two together, and
went to the cabin.

what happened to never forgetting? never getting over it? pretty weak,

pipe dream indeed...but it WOULD be nice!

well, i kind of agree with lizzie and bobbie and luke and whoever else
has pointed out that this crime didn't happen to HIM, it happened to
laura, and if she's made peace with it who is HE to throw himself in the
middle of something that fundamentally had nothing to do with him.
however, being as he DID idolize his father, and this DID all come right
on the heels of lizzie's rape, i can understand his reaction. but i DO
think he's being a little bit of a brat. childish tricks like the
silent treatment, and running away, and that thing with the song aren't
exactly the best way to go, imho.
but that could possibly be because i've NEVER really liked lucky all
that much, until the current story with lizzie! :)

i'm not exactly sure what question you're asking--how he ended up at the
cabin, how he knew to go there, or what happened on friday--so here's
what i know...
on thurs. he finally talked to brenda, who remembered robin saying
something that led jason to conclude that robin might have seen nik the
day she disappeared. he went to spoon island and, despite stefan's best
attempts, spoke to nik, and learned that they had seen tony that day,
and that robin had subsequently realized she knew something she could do
to help jason find michael. jason concluded from this that robin knew
tony had michael, and went to the cabin to find them. (he knew about
that because they had been there before with the police). he got there,
found robin and michael, and before they could leave was confronted by
tony who pulled a rifle on him. jason managed to distract him long
enough to get the gun away, and was about to pulverize him when st.
robin interceded on tony's behalf. he then had his guys tie tony up and
stay with him until the cops came, while he rushed robin to the
hospital, after making clear to tony that if she died, he wouldn't live
much longer.
hope that helps!

Subject: GH/PC: SID article...VM interview, sonny...spoilers i guess
some kind soul typed this onto pc online, so i figured i'd cut and paste
it here. it's articles from soaps in depth's march 31 issue, with info.
about sonny and an interview with vanessa marcil. i guess technically
it might contain spoilers--or anti-spoilers, if there is such a
thing--so i'll leave space just in case.

ok, here goes. i REALLY can't take much more of this:
The following is from Soaps In Depth's March 31, 1998 issue, an article
on Sonny's possible return and Vanessa's interview in which she
discusses whether she will stay or leave the show.
Is Sonny Returning??
Soaps In Depth has learned that, at press time, contrary to the
popular rumor making the rounds, no deal has been struck for Maurice
Benard to return to the show for a short time. Despite the fact that an
ABC spokesperson had no comment, viewers shouldnÆt be surprised if
Benard does wind up reprising his role as the brooding crime boss
sometime during May sweeps. ôI would come back in a second.ö ôEven if I
was doing other stuff, I would still want to do GH.ö The actorÆs GH
co-stars are game, ôNothing is finer than working with Maurice Benard,ö
says leading lady Vanessa Marcil. ôI definitely would go upstairs and
talk to the producers and make sure that we would be working together in
some way if he came back.ö Even BenardÆs on screen rival Ingo Rademacher
hopes that Sonny returns. ôThat would be good
for the storyline.ö the actor notes.
VanessaÆs Interview: At A Crossroads, movie offers are pouring in but
that doesnÆt mean that Vanessa Marcil soon will be walking out.
Vanessa Marcil didnÆt always live like a superstar. In fact, it
wasnÆt too long ago that the actress was a free-wheeling bachelorette,
sleeping on a matters in a room with three other girls, all of them just
trying to get by. It wasnÆt a pretty existence, but, she recalls, it
certainly was simple. ôMy friends and I would go buy a bag of potatoes
and just figure out ways to make them.ö she says. We were just kids,
hanging out, living dirty and cheap. I used to laugh,ö she continues,
ôbecause yeah, I was on TV, and the girl at the grocery store wanted my
autograph, but I couldnÆt pay my phone bill. Bet she didnÆt know that!
Cut to 1998: Six years after joining GH and striking gold as Port
Charles ingenue Brenda Barrett, Marcil finally has a bed with a frame,
and she can hire someone to mash her potatoes, never mind keep Ma Bell
off her back. But the actressÆ awesome popularity hasnÆt swelled her
head to the point where she has lost sight of her meager beginnings.
ôWhat people donÆt know is that for the first few years on a show like
this, you donÆt make that much money,ö she says. People think that
youÆre rich but youÆre not.
ôBut, ô she adds quickly, ôIÆm glad that I started like that
because it kept me really humble and grateful for everything. ôI got a
new car for the first time last year. ItÆs a BMW convertible, and itÆs a
dream come true. I walk backwards and look at it because I canÆt believe
that itÆs really my car, and I bought it and itÆs new.ö
A Legend In Her Own Time
ItÆs not like Marcil hasnÆt earned the trappings of fame. In her GH
tenure she has worked hard to make a name for herself as one of
soapdomÆs most gifted actresses, and to transform Brenda from a spoiled
little rich brat into one of the genreÆs most multidimensional young
heroines. And in the on-screen romance department her success is
unparalleled. She clicked - and clicked big - with three leading men:
Antonio Sabato Jr., Maurice Benard and Ingo Rademacher. Head writer Bob
Guza explains her appeal as a leading lady thusly: ôShe has an extremely
unique capacity to project simultaneously strength and
vulnerability,ö he says. ôSo even when you see her collapsing, you see a
strong woman collapsing. When sheÆs giving herself, you see a strong
independent woman giving herself. ThatÆs very hard to find, and she does
it. I think thatÆs the key to making those romances work. ItÆs Marcils
winning combination of spirit and fragility that led Guza to hand her
the most demanding storyline to date: BrendaÆs recent mental
breakdown following her wedding-day abandonment by Sonny. Prior to
filming the first scene Marcil told SID in November she was concerned
she wouldnÆt be able to accomplish the daunting task at hand. ôIÆm
always afraid I canÆt do stuff before I do it.ö Now in her first
full-length interview since Brenda took hold of a tripod and threw Port
Charles into a tailspin the actress, who recently won her second Daytime
Emmy Award nomination admits that her insecurity has given way to
newfound confidence in her abilities. ôIt was definitely the most
challenging storyline that I have ever done.ö ôAnd it was the most
satisfying, too. I really got to every place that I wanted to
(emotionally) - places that I was afraid that I might not be able to get
to. ôIÆm glad it didnÆt go on too long though, because it kind of took
itÆs toll on me, ô she continues. ôPeople might have a good cry one day
out of every six months and you feel so exhausted afterwards. ItÆs like
somebody has beaten you up. So doing that every day is really draining.
ôIt was a very irritable time for me,ö she admits. ôI havenÆt quite
mastered how to give 100 percent one second and then five minutes later
go back to normal life mode.ö
ThereÆs nothing to fear....
Although MarcilÆs GH work sometimes puts her through the wringer,
she wouldnÆt have it any other way. In fact sheÆs so devoted to the soap
that when she is called upon to turn on the water works, the worst case
scenario she conjures up invariably involves the show. ôIf I have an
emotional scene, IÆll sit there and imagine that itÆs my last day on GH,
and IÆll be a wreck,ö she reveals. ôThatÆs how I make myself cry.
ThatÆs how much this show has meant to me. To MarcilÆs horror, such an
exit scenario almost played itself out last August when she nearly
followed Benard and Sonny out of Port Charles for good. But at the last
minute, the actress opted to resign (reportedly for a year) despite the
fact that Hollywood was beckoning. After she played Nicolas CageÆs
girlfriend in 1996Æs box-office smash The Rock her career was like a
train gaining momentum, and her agents were anxious for her to jump
aboard. ôFor the last year and a half, IÆve been sabotaging my career
outside of GH,ö she concedes. ôAfter The Rock, there were a lot of
things I got offered I turned down.ö Even Benard was sure his on-screen
amour was going to shove off. ôIt surprised me that she stay, ô he said
in August. ôWith everything that sheÆs got going for her, she should
go.ö So what convinced HollywoodÆs Next Big Thing to keep her day job?
ôI just wanted to be challenged in my acting, and as long as theyÆre
doing that here, I donÆt really care about becoming a big star. That
might be hard to believe for some people.ö Like for instance her agents.
They nearly dropped her as a client after she re-upped with GH, she
says. ôThey think that I could be this big movie star if I wanted to. I
would literally cancel huge auditions for huge movies because I had 20
important scenes the next day on GH. My agentÆs like, ôThis is a movie!ö
And I would just go, ôYeah but you know what ? IÆm on four scenes in
that movie, and I could do them in my sleep. TheyÆre not even a
challenge. The stuff on GH that IÆm doing tomorrow is so great! And my
agentÆs like, ôYouÆre so weird.ö But I donÆt care if they think IÆm
crazy for loving this show.ö
Love On The Set
MarcilÆs fondness for one particular co-star may be partly to blame
for her anxiety about possibly separating from GH. Her one-year plus
relationship with now fiancΘÆ Tyler Christopher certainly makes
her commute to work more enjoyable and soon, the two will begin spending
more time on screen together as well. ôWe will be working together
more.ö Marcil reveals. To date, Brenda and Nikolas have
only had one scene together - last December, when she visited the
wounded lad in the hospital. They might have more scenes together and
even a storyline, had she not clicked with Rademacher, Marcil
suggests. ôI believe that if Brenda and Jax hadnÆt been such a smash hit
that the writers definitely would have liked to have had Brenda and
Nikolas become romantically involved. As it is, the actors real life
relationship is chronicled much as a soap plot. Each week, a new rumor
is born, and courtesy of the Internet, spreads faster than a California
brush fire. For instance when the couple postponed their winter wedding
until spring, speculation intensified that their romance was on the
rocks. The latest idle chatter had it that Marcil and Christopher were
feuding with Rademacher and one time girlfriend Rebecca Herbst. ôI heard
that I broke up with Tyler, and he and Ingo got into a fist fight in the
parking lot, and Wendy Riche set up BeckyÆs and my schedules so that
weÆre not working at the same time,ö sayÆs Marcil. ôItÆs hysterical. Our
lives are so boring that I guess itÆs disappointing to people.ö ôFor the
record,ö she adds, ôIngo and I have never for one second been
romantically involved with each other. I mean, not for one second, in
real life, outside of GH. WeÆre great friends, but itÆs not like we even
hung out before I got together with Tyler.ö Also for the record, Marcil
and Christopher still are happily
engaged, and recently purchased a house together in Hollywood Hills. As
for their wedding it will happen when it happens. ôThe reality is that
we truly want a great honeymoon, says the bride-to-be. ôItÆs hard
with our acting schedules to both get two weeks off at the same time.ö
None of Your Beeswax
The fact that everything about Marcil is noticed and even debated
in public is not lost on her - although she wishes it was. ôItÆs
actually my biggest problem in acting, ô she sighs. ôItÆs a very odd
thing to have that many people look at you and judge you, and I donÆt
like it. I donÆt know how anyone can handle that. It makes me want to
hide.ö The scrutiny likely will get worse. if Marcil becomes the big
deal everyone predicts she will, she and Tyler could wind up being the
next Demi and Bruce. That reality may prompt Marcil to keep her star
from rising any higher. ôI donÆt know if I want to not be able to take
my kids to Disneyland,ö she offers, ôI donÆt know if I want my kids to
have to see me on the cover of all those trash magazines saying these
horrible things. If I want to gain 20 pounds, I donÆt want to be called
a fat cow in Star magazine. ôMy dreams are that I want to have a family;
I want to have what I never had as a little girl. Being a movie star...I
donÆt know if I want that.
Decision Time
When her GH contract expires this summer Marcil will once again
have to answer that very question : Does she want to make movies, or
does she want to stick with what she considers to be the best job in
the world? ôIÆm kind of in the same position that I was in last year.ö
she says. ôI have a development deal with ABC like I had last year,
which means they pay me a certain amount to go out on their pilots. So
if I do a pilot this year that gets picked up I have to do it. Even if I
wanted to stay here I couldnÆt. ôIf it happens, it will probably be the
most devastating thing IÆve ever gone through. But I also know you canÆt
stagnate yourself.ö If Marcil does indeed depart this summer she will
have a tough time finding a part thatÆs as rewarding as Brenda, and she
is acutely aware of it. ôMy worst fear is that IÆll leave to do a
primetime show because thatÆs the thing to do - thatÆs the so-called
more respectable place to go - and IÆll make more money and all that,ö
she says ôand I wonÆt be as happy as I am here. In that case I would
come back. For me itÆs all about being happy with the work I did that
day when I get into bed that night. ôItÆs really not going to matter
whether or not I get a lot of money,ö she concludes. ôIn the end, all I
really need is a place to live, people I love, and a bag of potatoes.ö
Other Side Articles that accompany the Interview
The Men In BrendaÆs Life
Having had the good fortune to work with two of daytimeÆs hottest
leading men, Vanessa Marcil is the envy of her peers - and donÆt think
she doesnÆt know it. ôItÆs hard not to look at either of them in a scene
and truly feel like youÆre not in love with them, ô she says, ôTheyÆre
both extraordinary.ö But the guys note, it takes two to tango.
Maurice Benard says - ôVanessa has become such a wonderful actress.
SheÆs always been a star in her own right, but sheÆs a wonderful actress
and works hard at it. SheÆs feisty, and weÆre similar in a lot of ways,
especially as far as thatÆs concerned. So there was always tension
between us, and that tension made for good acting.ö
Ingo Rademacher says - ôNo matter what the material is like, no
matter how you look, of your not a good actor, you canÆt pull it off.
People arenÆt going to be interested because your not believable. So you
have to bring that to the plate when your an actor, and Vanessa does
that. She knows her stuff. Whatever they put in front of her, people are
drawn to her. Some actors your drawn to, others youÆre not. YouÆve got
to be able to capture an audience and Vanessa does that.ö
Who Will Brenda Choose?
Rumors persist that if Vanessa Marcil leaves GH this summer,
Maurice Benard will return to give Brenda and Sonny a happy ending.
Headwriter Bob Guza wouldnÆt confirm such a scenario but did reveal that
regardless of MarcilÆs plans, Brenda will have to make a choice soon.
ôHer journey has to be to put Sonny behind her - genuinely,ö Guza says.
ôShe has to get past him to give herself fully to Jax. ThatÆs still to
be dramatized.ö In other words, nothingÆs over till itÆs over, folks.
Other Random Quotes - included with the pictures in the article.
ôItÆd be cool for Brenda to leave as a character who has never been
married.ö Vanessa Marcil
ôBrendaÆs one true love is Sonny.ö Bob Guza
ôDonÆt get any bright ideaÆs Jax, If I leave I donÆt want it to be with
a big wedding.ö Vanessa Marcil

Subject: GH/PC: Tony, and Brenda and You Know Who
So how are they going to write Tony out of this hole? I just can't see
Jason or Carly dropping the charges....
As for Brenda and

Sonny's possible return/ non return... I would find Sonny's interaction
with the "new and improved" Jason (particularly given the injection of
Carly and Michael into the mix) far more interesting than that with Brenda.
I think the writers have really laid the foundation for Brenda to move on
from Sonny, and while I'm not thrilled with Jax and Brenda, I just can't
see a "happy ending" for S&B the way things stand.
Musings on a Tuesday morning...

So how are they going to write Tony out of this hole?
Just like Robin said yesterday, he just snapped! Hello, insanity! Was
anyone else overly concerned about the way Carly (Sarah Brown) ran full
steam ahead to Tony? I mean, the girl is pregnant. I was waiting for her
to fall. Anyway, you know that Robin will be the saving grace for Tony.
How 'bout that slap Bobbi handed Tony? You could see that one winding
up! Classic!....And by the way, I can't wait for the 35th anniversary
show! The previews look fab. Especially the one when Luke sees Laura for
the 1st time when she came back from the "dead"! VCR will be set for
that one!

'GH' celebrates 35 years of soap saga
By Jie Lin
For the Daily
A jilted bride ends up in the nuthouse, a mob war erupts over a kidnapped
baby, and a rape dredges up dark family secrets. Welcome to the wonderful
world of "General Hospital."
Forget about "ER"; this hospital is far more interesting.
Where else could you see a daughter seek revenge on the mother who gave
her up, by stealing her husband? For more than three decades, "General
Hospital" has been bringing viewers mayhem five times per week, capturing
the hearts of soap opera fans everywhere.
The function of a soap opera is escapism - to take us out of our mundane
lives and into a fantasy world filled with gorgeous people and their
equally glamorous lifestyles.
"General Hospital" fits that bill to a tee. The show features some of the
hottest actors of daytime. Take one look at the opening credits to know
what I am talking about.
But there is much more to "GH" than handsome doctors and beautiful nurses.
The soap opera primarily revolves around the wealthy Quartermaine family,
whose closets are filled with more skeletons than the Kennedys'.
Let's not forgot about the other characters as well. We have a model
(Vanessa Marcil), a tycoon (Ingo Rademacher) and a mobster (Maurice
Benard), just to name a few. Let your imagination run wild because
anything is possible here in the city of Port Charles.
Tomorrow, "General Hospital" will celebrate its 35th anniversary with an
hourlong special recalling favorite moments of the show and interviews
with stars from the past and present. The show will feature favorite
couples from Luke and Laura (Anthony Geary and Genie Francis) to Sonny and
Brenda (Maurice Benard and Vanessa Marcil).
Who could forget Luke and Laura's wedding? It is possibly the most famous
wedding of all of daytime, attended by longtime fan Elizabeth Taylor.
Sonny and Brenda, a mobster and a model, were one of the favorite and
hottest couples from his past year. Theirs is a match made in heaven.
Along with unforgettable clips, there will be interviews with former and
current stars. Celebrities from the past such as Jack Wagner of "Melrose
Place" (Frisco Jones on "GH"), who met his wife Kristina (Felicia Jones)
on the show, and John Stamos (Blackie Parrish) of "Full House" fame, will
share their memories of the show. Current stars featured include Kimberly
McCullough (Robin Scorpio) and Ingo Rademacher (Jasper "Jax" Jacks).
Also in the hour special, we will get a sneak peek into a group photo
session with the stars of the show. For the clincher, Brad Maule (Tony
Jones) will perform a song written by the star himself about the
characters in Port Charles.
"GH" fans will get a special treat as host and show veteran Anthony Geary
(Luke Spencer) takes devoted viewers down memory lane.
Keep that box of tissues close by.

I missed all my soaps yesterday because I forgot to tape. I'm
disappointed that they didn't leave the picture of Audrey and Steve in.
It was a nice one.
Are Kevin and Lucy still in the GH credits?
