I don’t know why, but the General Hospital November Sweeps promo cracks me up. Maybe I’m heartless but when Jason asks Sam what’s up and she replies “the Russians took Jake” while hopping in the car, well..I cackle. That and Sonny and Jason’s dueling hand gestures, Sam with a shotgun, Elizabeth in hysterics, and the Zacchara/Corinthos Wedding of the Damned. Honorable mention: Sonny shattering barware for the thousandth time and Jason hitting the steering wheel in anger? defeat? frustration? upon learning that his only begotten son was kidnapped. I love how Jason and Sonny’s enemies are known collectively as “The Russians” as if it’s an army composed of Alexander Petrovsky’s fans from Sex and the City. You know, or 1956, take your pic. Seriously, just present this show in black and white and put Sam in a poodle skirt and you have a propaganda film from the Eisenhower administration.
While we’re on the subject of things that aren’t quite right: is Lulu completely cured now? I mean, she escaped from a mental hospital and hotwired a car and now she’s free to roam around Port Charles? I guess when the Special Prosecutor and father of the man you killed sells out his son’s memory to hop on a plane with his ex-wife anything is fair game.
Random thought: I’ve never really been a fan of Patrick, but how hot is Jason Thompson holding a baby? Hot guys holding babies will get me every time.
Truly random thought: what in the holy Hell is this all about? Although, once you fully digest this, a topless show in Vegas may be more professionally satisfying than mob war, baby kidnapping, marriage of convenience, lather, rinse, repeat.
Patrick is gorgeous. Holding a baby? Extra gorgeous. I’ve always been a fan though, so I can’t relate. Well…except when he was with Leyla, cause she is made of suck. Or was, at that time. Now that she’s in the background I can stand her.
The Russians…sigh. Next year do we get the Chinese Mafia? Maybe they could bring on Jackie Chan in a special guest starring role. That promo does crack me up though. More of the same on GH!

I kind of like Leyla now that she has nothing to do besides stand behind the Nurses Station. She’s better than Kelly and Lainey.
