Elizabeth annoys me to no end, and her wish-washy whining behavior drives me insane. She went from standing by Ric and telling off Julian to a COMPLETE 180 degree turnaround based on a comment by Nikolas about what was in the newspaper - Julian's newspaper, btw. I don't think Elizabeth has grown, changed, or developed in more than six years. It's the same.stuff.all.the.time. I am really enjoying the Nathan/Britt relationship, and I want to learn more about them and their family dynamic. I have no interest in Nina/Silas. We all know that RC is just writing another triangle with Nina/Sam/Silas, and I'm already bored. Nina and Silas will be making googly-eyes at each other while Sam looks on sadly from the sidelines. Yawn. I'd rather have Nathan find out he's a Cassadine (because we all know he's Victor's son, enough bread crumbs have been dropped by RC). Then Victor and Nikolas can be looped into the story along with Britt. I'm not talking about any romances here, just soap drama. That's what I want. I certainly don't want Nikolas near Elizabeth. She's a train wreck for men. I am also intrigued by the Rafe storyline. As much as he hasn't had a purpose on the show since he arrived, it makes sense to show how the drugs being in Port Charles is having an impact on the younger set. I think this storyline can be very interesting if done properly. Jury's still out on that one. Lastly, I have no use for Franco and Kiki. WHY is Kiki still on the show? I have a feeling that Franco is on his way out because RH looks bored out of his mind, and maybe he's just waiting to leave. Kiki, however, is going to stick around as long as KA and RC have a friendship. The character of Kiki is utterly pointless. She has no friends, no job, no relationships (other than Michael who is saddled with her forever it seems), and she spends more time with the serial killer than with her own father. Another big yawn. Am I ever going to get another Kevin/Lucy scene after their last big conversation at Kelly's? Do I need to see Kiki jogging through the park rather than actually showing some movement in the Kevin/Lucy/Scotty story?

I thought today was a fantastic episode . Actually, I've enjoyed all week, but today was good on all levels. Tony Geary was fantastic in his performance today because I really felt like I was watching two completely different people in today's episode. My heart broke for Luke sitting there and looking so vulnerable. Kudos to TG for not being afraid to go there. I really felt for Ric today because we all know he's innocent, and I was surprised that Liz didn't annoy me the way she usually does. Instead, she was standing by Ric and confronting Julian. I also think the scenes with Ava and Sonny were good, and I loved his remark when she thought her being pregnant was going to save her when he first threatened to kill her. Then: Ava: What if I'm pregnant? Sonny: You're STILL dead - nine months later. LOL! Best line today. Overall, I think GH was pretty darn good this week, and even this past month. When the show and the writers focus on the GH vets and not so much the newbies, the audience responds and the ratings go up. It's not rocket science.

I don't see the writers devoting a lot of time - if at all - to any love affair of Daryl's. It may happen, but it will be a B story or even a C story. I don't really mind if Daryl gets a romantic interest, but I want to see that relationship progress slowly. I don't want to be told by the writers that Daryl loves someone. I need to see it happen on screen so that I can invest in it. Daryl is my favorite character but I also love Rick too. I am hoping that Daryl continues to grow as a character in the next season, and I love the fact that he and Rick are true 'brothers' now. LOVED that moment in the season finale.

I am anxiously awaiting the season 4 premiere of Falling Skies and seeing Tom Mason again. He's my favorite character on FS, although I love all the other characters too. I just love how Noah Wyle plays this part, and I just find his portrayal so credible - that of a college professor thrown into a cataclysmic disaster - and uses his knowledge, tenacity, and skills to survive and try and keep his family safe.
