Why do I feel like all the characters of General Hopital should be committed to Shadybrook? Is it because it’s true? Let’s go through a representative sample:
- Carly, previously crazy. Suffers from deluisons of grandeur, overcompensates for low self-esteem, married Sonny seventeen times and continues to jaunt around Port Charles in backless tops.
- Laura, recently catatonic. Apparently killed two people by the age of 18; framed for the murder of her stepfather, agreed to runaway with Scott Baldwin for Lulu’s sake instead of disowning her and heading for Genoa City.
- Scott Baldwin; raging moron. Obsessed with Laura, he blackmails her into running away with him (while she’s in a nightgown) so he won’t railroad Lulu into a lethal injection. Scott, don’t be an idiot..you can do both!
- Luke, relapsed idiot. Former town hero (and mayor!) now town drunk who runs away for six months out of every year. After days (and days) of drinking, gambling, and winding up in jail, finally decides to “rescue” Lulu by hijacking a drug plane. How very Mister Eko of him.
- Tracy, willingly stays married to Luke, actively searches for him when he is “missing”, and jumped into said drug plane with him. Hilarity ensues. (It actually doesn’t.)
- Lulu, unrepentant and smug; see also “Carly”.
- Alexis, issues with men. Believes that Sonny is like the worst person in Port Charles yet has an ongoing relationship with Jerry Jax who held her daughter and nephew hostage and blew up a hotel.
- Elizabeth, in love with a brain damaged mafia hitman who she thinks would make a charming husband and father.
- Nikolas, put off having brain sugery because he saw his dead fiancee’s eyebrows every five minutes.
- Spinelli; possible sociopath.
- Nadine; female Spinelli.
- Kate, after moving to Port Charles, shot at, booked for a DUI, lost her job, was cheated on, and yet she still agreed to marry Sonny. Oh and then she was shot again.
- Johnny, willingly dates Lulu. Obviously inherited the Zacchara crazy gene.

Oh, please don’t reference my beloved Mr. Eko when talking about the idiocy that is Luke Spencer. Eko, we barely knew thee!
Awesome list, you could also have listed Papa Z, because you know, he brings the crazy, even if he fakes it!
How sad was it that I cheered when Hurley and Eko “played” chess?
I knew I was forgetting someone! But then he’s “just a harmless crippled gangster in a wheelchair” in his own words.
Hee, not sad at all, cause I had the same flash of joy, then anger that he wasn’t actually appearing at all. I didn’t know he’d asked to be let off the show, I was carrying quite a grudge against the producers! hehe Finally found out during that scene I think, cause I bitched to Tripp and she told me. That makes it more tolerable but I still hate it, Eko was too awesome to die.
