There are so many things on General Hospital that don’t make sense right now, I’m really not sure where to start. Luckily for all of us, I’ve made a list:
- There is no General Hospital. What was the point of setting fire to GH (allegedly so they could build a new hospital set) only to create Mercy Hospital even though it looks nothing like a hospital? Obviously, the show runners hate the hospital, I’m surprised the whole show doesn’t revolve around Jason’s Penthouse at this point.
- Sonny is disappointed that Michael won’t get better but brushes it all aside by agreeing ot throw some sort of Don Corleone-esque mob party (complete with gift giving!) and then throws down with Claudia on the couch. I know grief makes people do strange things, but honestly what do you serve at a gathering like that? Coppola wine? Peppers and Sausage?
- Spinelli was in some sort of tech nerd version of Hostel and had to be saved by a hitman, his on and off girlfriend, a fashion assistant and a high school sophomore“FBI Systems Analyst”. Hold the phone on this one for a sec–I can’t be the only one here that hates the character of Winifred, right? It’s not even like I’m some big Maxie/Spinelli fan, I just can’t stand her. First of all the braids need to go, seriously. If you’re going to have long hair, learn how to style it like an adult or infiltrate the Juniper Creek Compound on Big Love. Secondly, the stammering and stuttering isn’t appealing on Spinelli and it’s certainly not attractive on someone who actually has a job. A job with a government agency at that.
- Just because someone looks like your ex-wife does not mean that she is your ex-wife. True confession: I started talking to this guy that bared a resemblance to one of my ex-boyfriends. Guess what? He didn’t act like him in the slightest (which may have been a good thing) but there weren’t any sparks. Maybe I don’t get it since I don’t live in a big, Gothic house in Port Charles, but I have seen Vertigoand it didn’t work out well for anyone involved. Speaking of Hitchcock, it would make me smile if for some reason Old Becky had to move into Wyndemere and Alfred tended to her Mrs. Danvers-style like in Rebecca, but that’s way too clever for this show.
- Maybe I don’t pay attention (and when I say “maybe” I really mean “I don’t pay any attention whatsoever”) but isn’t Emma huge? How old is she? Six months? Why does she look like she should be playing dolls with Suri Cruise?

I’ve always thought that about GH, that it was a poor name choice on their end. When Port Charles started airing, with ACTUAL hospital scenes, I found the whole thing ironic. They could’ve switched!!
Also, the Maxie/Spinelli storyline would have Georgie rolling over in her grave (if anyone ever bothered to mention her).
