This week’s special just in!  Sink your teeth into a Forbidden Flesh Filet Mignon—Lucky agrees that it’s extra juicy if you’re really hungry.  Plus, you get a free dip in the hot tub when you place an order. 

I think GH has forgotten that women are its primary viewers.  They’ve brought in two sets of playboy bunnies, have insisted on flaunting all of Kelly Monaco’s assets in bikinis or itty-bitty shirts and dresses, and refuse to let Carly wear clothes with a back.  At least we’ve gotten plenty of shirtless Lucky and Logan to even the rankings, but if I have to watch another fantasy of Spinelli’s involving squealing girls, I might just puke. 

Lulu’s blind faith in Logan needed to take a fall; I’m just surprised it happened so fast!  One minute, she’s begging Jason to let her boyfriend keep his job, the next, she’s moving in with him because she understands him SO WELL, and then, she’s off and running into strange men’s cars!   Elizabeth had it right, though, Lulu’s just acting like a Spencer.  I’ve got to wonder where she’s learned Spencer behavior because she doesn’t seem to spend any time with the family.  Wouldn’t it be nice if she say, shared a scene with Bobbie or Leslie or Lucky once in awhile?  Of course, it’d also be nice if she didn’t keep it a secret from her brother that he’s raising another man’s child but there I go again, trying to rationalize a soap opera.  That’s sure to give you a headache. 

Liz gives such mixed messages to Lucky.  Protect our family, but I don’t want you to make sure we get to work, school, and daycare okay.  Let’s work on our marriage, but I’m not going to kiss you and try to feel anything for you.  Lucky had her pegged when he said that she wants him to do something to end the marriage.  She’s not happy but she doesn’t want to be the one who gets the blame for calling it quits.   And so Lucky’s finally decided, “what the hell” and he’s giving Liz her wish.  Luckily for him, that wish is dressed up in a skimpy bikini.  It had to hurt when Liz pointed out that he’s cheating on her with “yet another tramp.”  She’s right about that--for someone who supposedly adores Liz, Lucky has cheated on her quite a bit.  Regardless, I still don’t buy that she’s really willing to try to work on the marriage.  She checked out the moment she saw him with Maxie for the 2^nd time and except for stopping in long enough to remarry Lucky, she hasn’t been back since.  At first, it was because she couldn’t trust him but then she fell for Jason.  It’d be rough to be married to one man while you’re in love with another. 

And as for Lucky and Sam—I like it.  I know they both have ulterior motives but I’m honestly just happy to have someone give Lucky a bit of appreciation.  He’s not a bad guy and he gets made out to be one in comparison to the woman whisperer, Jason.  As a result, Lucky’s got a hero complex that Sam is willing to feed.  It’s a match!  At least it’s healthier than the constant back and forth sniping between Liz and Lucky.   I’m pulling for Lucky and Sam to fall in love slowly in spite of their initial reasons for hooking up.  And if Liz decides to jump on the Jason train, that’s fine with me too.  LnL2, it’s time to call it quits and move on while either of you have any dignity left.  

Thankfully, Logan and Scott are doing a paternity test.  Can they get a discount if Alexis and Sam do one at the same time?  Because we only have circumstantial evidence that they are mother and daughter, and if it were me, I’d demand proof before claiming that girl as my blood.  I’d also need an explanation as to how I carried a child when I was two years old, but still, I don’t know why Alexis didn’t insist on one before accepting Sam.   Maybe she just got distracted with the cancer that was, then wasn’t.  Or perhaps The Powers are holding it as an ace-in-the-hole if inappropriate Cassadine chemistry ever blossoms between Nik and Sam.   They could just say, “Oops, we aren’t really cousins after all!  Let’s get it on!” 

I applaud Robin and Patrick’s decision to break-up.  Having children is definitely something both parties have to want.  Sure, an accidental child can happen and both parents can fall in love with it, but there may still be lingering regrets.  It’s so much better to bring a child in the world when you want it and are ready to give yourself over to it.  Robin’s there; Patrick isn’t and I’m glad they realize it now rather than later.  I still think these two are going to end up together in a few months but I’m grateful for a break—their bickering was slowly but surely piercing my eardrums.   Plus, it was sweet to hear Jason tell Robin that she’s not easy to forget.  Almost brought a tear to my eye.  Those two were good once.  I couldn’t picture them together now, though, but Patrick’s jealousy when Jason dropped her off at work?  Priceless. 

I also applaud Kate’s handling of both Trevor and Sonny.  They keep insisting that she choose sides and she decides to choose neither of them and focus on Couture instead.  You go girl.  Too bad neither man is able to respect women’s decisions.  Is Trevor where Sonny learned his “You’re either with me or against me” attitude?   

Will Georgie ever be allowed to be with someone that isn’t obsessed with Lulu?  Maybe they could bring on a new character just for her rather than yet another one to interact with the Blond One.  I guess Lulu can’t have any less than four admirers at any given time.  Maybe she’s also the Chosen One and any fewer men lusting after her would result in a Hellmouth swallowing Port Charles whole. 

Can I join Sam and Maxie’s BFF club?  I don’t have any revenge sex stories to share but I’d be happy to just listen in as they gab and paint toenails.   

And for the record, I’m going to have a really hard time not confusing Johnny Zacharra with Johnny, the bodyguard, may he rest in peace. 

Next week, I’m working on a three-tier chocolate divorce cake and am going to invite Liz and Lucky by for a taste.  I hope it’s so sinfully delicious that they can’t resist diving in and finishing it off.  Any flavor suggestions?
