Sometimes The Truth Hurts

Today on GH there seemed to be some wise folks around serving out the cold hard truth.  Sam, Ethan, Olivia, Johnny and Epiphany were all on the serving end of this cold hard truth today.  However, sadly most the recipients of the truth didn't really listen.  But never the less, the truth was good to hear at least for us fans.
I don't know about you but I wanted to grab a pair of pom poms and start cheering in the background by some of those remarks handed out today. 

Johnny had probably one of the bigger shocks of his life today.  He walks in to find the girl he tried to save from herself awake and walking around in her underwear.  Lisa intrigued Johnny but the truth is he cares and has always cared for her.  He knows Lisa is crazy and always cooking up a plan but all the same he cares for her.  But together they served up the truth to each other.  Johnny to Lisa: "Yeah, fine I want to save you.  So freaking what."
Lisa to Johnny: "Why? Because you can't save yourself." We all thought that Lisa was going to fall into Johnny's arms and forget her new even crazier then ever disposition.  WRONG! Lisa shoving the syringe into Johnny's neck telling him she didn't want to be saved was the real truth.  Poor Johnny though! He was the only guy in all of PC that actually wanted to help Lisa.  Hopefully she didn't inject him with anything lethal! 

Ethan served up some amazingly brilliant and extremely honest truths to Elizabeth. Elizabeth did everything she could to speak ill of the late Mrs. Lucky Spencer today.  She was down right vile, rude, and all together acting like a selfish Veruca Salt demanding a golden egg Easter. I honestly thought for a few seconds there she was going to start stamping her feet on the floor and holding her breath until she turned blue.  I thought to myself, wow Elizabeth hasn't changed or learned ANYTHING from the last 5 years of her life.  She has turned into such a mean spirited person she can't even respect the fact Lucky is grieving for his late wife.  She has sunk to yet another level for me.  I used to want to see an LL2 reunion but the way she acted today just shows she does not deserve Lucky.  Elizabeth is so bitter and evil now she is so far from that girl that Lucky saved so many years ago.  It is sad to watch.  I am sad because she has really become so self involved, I don't know how they can get an LL2 reunion to work now.  Ethan handed out the best truth to Liz today, "Lucky loves you like he loves those little pills.  It is not real or healthy!"
Elizabeth said the truth we all know, "So now I am a bitch and a whore?!".  She said it so we didn't have to but sometimes the truth hurts. I don't know about you but I am really liking Ethan these days.  Finally he is getting away from storylines that aren't really going anywhere and they are developing his character.  He is my favorite Spencer these days. 

Olivia was a real friend today to Spinelli.  Olivia has always had a way with words and quite often her served up truth can be quite funny.  Today I think Spinelli needed to hear what Olivia had to say.  I would be the first in line for a Spixie reunion if Kirsten Storms was portraying Maxie.  Let's face it, without Kirsten no matter how hard Jen tries she is no Maxie.  I really hope Kirsten recovers from her medical condition very soon and returns to GH because Maxie is just not Maxie without her.  It makes the scenes with Maxie and anyone painful to watch. Kirsten has put the breath of life into  Maxie's character and there is no replacement for her.  And that is the cold hard truth.

Epiphany  did have one funny line thought to TempMaxie though.
Epiphany to TempMaxie: "Honey there is no help for you!"

I like Carly, ordinarily. But recently I must say, she is nothing winning any contests of mine.  My guess is the new head writer at GH doesn't much care for the Carly character and quite possibly the actress that portrays the role.  The present writing is trying like hell to show us Carly is really a very self-centered spoiled brat that needs a serious reality check.  I am not a fan of the Carly and Jason friendship because Jason is blind to Carly's conniving and manipulative ways.  I think GW is trying to show everyone that friendship is beyond dysfunctional.  I will admit I was less then thrilled Carly decided to show up on the JaSam honeymoon.  Honestly, I had to take a few minutes after watching today's episode to find a positive way to write about today's situation.  Both Shawn and Jason doubt Carly received that note from Franco.  Carly's credibility is questionable in their eyes which I hope means Jason is going to pull Carly aside at some point in the very near future and ask her what the hell she is thinking.  He needs to do that anyway because she is putting her child at risk by taking her to where she thinks Franco may be.  What kind of mother is she?  Sam was the only one to point this out and hopefully Jason will call Carly on it soon.  Sam was none too thrilled about today's situation.  I, for one, am so glad she didn't just quietly sleek off to the background and let Carly railroad their entire honeymoon.  Sam served up some amazing truths today to Carly.  I loved how she said things:
Sam to Carly: "haha I am sorry I think everyone needs a little reality check here. ON. OUR. HONEYMOON. HERE.! Do you really think Jason would find time to send YOU a present?"
Sam to Carly: "Hey, why don't you go back to Port Charles."
Sam to Carly: "Yet you find yourself in the middle of my honeymoon."

Sam to Carly: "Find your own man, Carly!!!"
Sam to Carly:  "You can stop the grieving widow act anyway, Carly.  It's not like you are going to be alone for more then 5 minutes, anyway."
Sam to Carly: "Look this is my deal if you would stop coming to Jason with every one of your little freaking problems."
Sam to Carly: "Wow I think that  it is so desperate and pathetic the way you try to demand Jason's attention.  Not to mention a real turn off for guys, Carly."

Sam told it like it was today and I was so happy to see that.  It almost made the rest of it tolerable. The truth is, I was disappointed in Jason today. I wanted him pull Sam aside and talk to her about things.   I wanted him to tell Carly to stay at the bungalow and take SAM with him to go check the grounds NOT SHAWN.  But the minute Shawn and Carly showed up he ran off with Shawn.  Is this the starting of another bromance?  Instead of the Jason and Sonny bromance is it now the JaShawn bromance? I also wanted Jason to agree with Sam and request they stay somewhere else for the night then INSTEAD with THEM!  I wanted to grab Jason and shake him - WHAT PART ABOUT ON YOUR HONEYMOON DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND!!!  I think Jason feels sorry for Carly because clearly she is acting so pathetic he is worried she is maybe back on her way to another breakdown.  I actually love that Jason and Shawn have a shred of doubt Carly's story for today.  That is the positive lining to this whole mess!

Until tomorrow.  This week will not disappoint because  with Lisa and Franco you can't help but have some fun watching!  Most importantly KEEP WATCHING!  Write, call, FB, tweet.  Let them know, SOAP FANS MATTER AND WE AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE!
