General Hospital


    Everyday since as far back as I can remember, my mom and I have always sat down at 3 PM every weekday to watch our favorite daytime soap opera "General Hospital". The storyline has always been pretty good, but here lately, I've been ready to pull my hair our before the hour is up! Ever since they brought back Brenda Barrett, the storyline has tanked. Everything is about Brenda! Brenda this and Brenda that. I thought when the killed off Emily Quartermaine that the show would progressively get better, and it did, for a short time. But now that Brenda is back, every single story on the show is about her!!! Why don't the writers consider this: NOT EVERYBODY LIKES THE SIMPERING, SELFISH, WHINY WITCH BRENDA BARRETT!!!!! I swear they need to just get rid of her and the show will be OK again!
    Well, they should get rid of Liz Webber too, then it would be perfect. I mean everybody talks about Liz likes she's this little godly angel, when she's slept with half the men on the show! "Saint Elizabeth" needs a real good wake-up call, and a one way ticket to Hell to pay for all of her sins. She thinks that every guy she sleeps with should be hers forever and ever, but when they try to be with her, she's all "No, I don't want to be with you, I want to be an independent woman. I don't need you and your stupid stuff." And when said men get with another lady, she's all "No he's mine and always will be! We have a kid together so we have something special that you don't so back off my man!" She's absolutely ridiculous.
    And then there's the whole Robin/Lisa/Patrick story, and it's getting really old really quick. Yes, we get it, Lisa's a psycho jealous ex, Patrick's a lying cheating dog for sleeping with her, Robin's a hurt angry wife/mother, but dang, after a while you'd think they'd do something new with the story. But noooooo they just keep going in circles with it! Lisa kidnapped and drugged Robin, and when she got caught, she was sent off to the Shadybrook mental institution for what we all thought would be a very long time. Two or three days later the psycho is back working at the hospital with Robin and Patrick! I wish they would give them more story other than Robin calling Lisa on her craziness, Lisa denying it all and making Robin look like the crazy one, and Patrick feeling like the biggest screw-up ever. It's makin me crazy just watching it!
    I think the only stories I like on the show right now are the Ethan/Mya/Luke/Tracy story and the Ronan O'Reilly/"The Balkan" stories.
   Let's start with the Ethan/Mya/Luke/Tracy story. I think it's kinda funny but sweet that Luke wants to win Tracy back after admitting they were never really married for the last five years and swindling $10 million from her, but his ways of doing so are very... interesting. Faking a massive heart attack to get her to admit she still loves him is a bit dramatic, but when dealing with Tracy, sometimes ya just gotta get dramatic to get through to her! His plan, right now, is working, since Mya is a nurse intern at GH, and Ethan is Luke "King of Con Artists" Spencer's son who is using this plan to get closer to Mya and help his Pop win back his lady. Ethan is playing the concerned son so he has to make sure Nurse Mya stays on top of his dad's condition so therefore he gets to spend tons and tons of time with her. It's a win-win situation. Unless Tracy finds out he's scamming her again just like he did with their "marriage", then Luke will probably wish he really was dead and not just faking being on his deathbed. His daughter Lulu calls Tracy the "Evil Step-Monster", and sometimes for good reason. Well Luke, I hope you are lucky enough to not get caught.
    And speaking of lucky, Luke's other son, Lucky Spencer, is a cop, and he's working undercover as "Ronan O'Reilly" the ruthless Irish mobster that works for "The Balkan", a Russian mob king-pin. And you'll never guess what Ronan's current assignment is. He has to kidnap and successfully deliver to the Balkan, none other than Miss Princess Brenda Barrett. But, one of the Balkan's men overheard Lucky telling Jason Morgan (the local Port Charles mobster) about his undercover operation, and now his cover is blown! Lucky -- err, I mean Ronan -- has set up his first face-to-face meeting with the Balkan to deliver Brenda to him, only Jason's girlfriend, Sam McCall will be in Brenda's place since she has more experience in those types of situations. I really hope Brenda acts like her usual know-it-all self and runs into the meeting and gets herself killed, that way we never have to see her again!!
    When she was first on the show, Brenda was really pretty. But then she went and had a face lift, and now her face is all ugly and stuff. And her voice is just like nails on a chalkboard! Ugh, so annoying!!!
    Ok, I think this review is pretty much over. I think y'all get it now, the whole storyline of the show is completely screwed up all thanks to Brenda coming back.
    Thanks so much for reading!! :) Talk to y'all later.
