My Own Private Hell

There is very little happiness these days on General Hospital.  A show starved of joy and happiness but it does make for good drama sadly enough.  The citizens of Port Charles are battling their own personal hells as of late. 

Kate is in her own personal hell trying to figure out what the hell she is doing wearing old bloody wedding dress.  I think Kate is as coocoo as they come but the fact she is wearing her old wedding dress from 2008 she is clearly in need of some help.  Clearly she is living in a hell that she hasn't moved on from in the past 4 years.  The only person who can see how loony Kate has become is Olivia.  However, I don't think any of us know how freaking nutz Kate really is yet.  She is one crazy chick.  So what if it wasn't Sonny who shot Anthony's car up my money is on Kate.  I think she is also the one who shot Sonny in the parking garage. Maybe in the past 4 years while Kate's been wearing her old bloody wedding dress she has also been going to the firing range? Think about it. It would make sense. 

Speaking of crazy chicks, good old Helena is unleashing her latest fresh slice of hell on her most recent victims out on Spoon Island.  Holly rushing in just as Luke or Ethan were to get shot was convenient and very calculate.   Almost too convenient was her latest news of Ethan's paternity.  Is Ethan a Scorpio or a Spencer? My money is on Scorpio because Nathan's contract is up and he isn't renewing it.  But who knows what this story has in it's future.  I did enjoy seeing Holly, Helena and Luke on the same screen together again though.  I know Helena's a crazy old witch but gosh she is good and I love seeing her. 

I have very little interest in these OLTL characters and their presents on GH.  However, Starr will have to deal with her own hell when it comes to finding out about Cole (her boyfriend) and Hope (her child).  I never watched OLTL very much. I didn't follow the story of the Mannings at all.  I watched Natalie and John here and there other then that I had no interest in the show.  I just know that poor girl will have a horrible hell to deal with when she wakes up and finds out.  For Michael this reminds him of his own personal hell he has already been living of losing Abby.  Michael's hell has been upon him for months now.  Perhaps this will help him deal with his own hell.

No one can be going through more of their own personal hell then Anna, Robert and Patrick right now.  Anna had to do the unthinkable today.  She had to tell Robert their daughter was killed in an explosion.  Robert wanted to poke holes in this story but there was little room for error in this situation.  Robin was in the lab where Maxie, Matt and even Patrick all knocked things over in the lab.  There was very little room for this to be a calculated mistake and Robin is really alive.  Watching Anna having to tell Robert and his reaction was an amazing scene but the most tragic one of the day. 
For Patrick he did the thing he had to do.  He injected the medicine into Jason's brain.  He saved Jason's life.  While Patrick truly struggled with saving Jason's life but he saw Robin's ghost and knew he had to do the right thing.  Robin would never forgive him is he had let Jason die at his hands.  He knew that.  But once Patrick saved Jason and fought with Sam for the 40th time in that day, Patrick didn't know what to else to do.  Fighting with Sam at least kept him talking but once that was over, once he realized Sam was never trying to be insensitive or evil for asking him to do the surgery, he was washed over with the reality of everything.  Patrick finally heard Sam when she said she was truly sorry Robin was gone and that Jason was truly grateful. But after all of that Patrick could not even stand when he realized it was all over.  He has nothing left to do but try to live in this hell and try to go on.  Who should find Patrick in this extremely tragic  state but the no nonsense head nurse that challenges Patrick on EVERYTHING, Epiphany.  Today this scene had me in tears between these two.  Epiphany wasn't there to tell Patrick he was a rich spoiled arrogant doctor that needed to do something.  Today she was there to give him the only advice he could hear.  Epiphany knows loss far too well.  She explained to Patrick how he was going to go on.  Epiphany told Patrick what he needed to hear, 'You'll find the strength'.  'Do whatever it takes to keep her {Emma} going because that will keep you going too'.  'Patrick, you are a good man with a lot of good left to do in this world.  You can't let anything stop you, not even this.'  I have watched that scene about 5 times now.  It was the most touching scene I have seen in a very long time. 

I have still seen the Sam bashing out there over all of this.  Sam is doing the exact thing Patrick would have done if Robin was sick.  Sam is doing the exact thing Robin would have done if Patrick was sick and she is also doing the exact thing Jason would have done if Sam was sick.  Sam is fighting to keep Jason alive.  Sam loves Jason more then anything and she will do anything to keep him alive.  That is not wrong that is just a testament  to her love for him and their amazing love.  Sam never wanted Robin to die.  Robin and Sam were friends.  Sam respected Robin greatly and honored her past with Jason.  Sam honored Jason and Robin's friendship.  She did not throw Robin into the lab, she is not responsible for this.  She only asked Patrick to save Jason which is what Robin died trying to do.  She only asked a husband to honor his dead wife's last wishes.

Keep watching! Call, comment, do it all.  Try to remain positive! Remember Grandmother's advice, you catch a lot more flies with honey then you do vinegar.  Try it!
