What a well balanced show today. First we get a defining moment for Lucky and Siobhan, then Jax and Carly confront their marriage, Jason and Michael connect over the rape and Brenda talks to Dante about the baby. Four stories, four relationships all moving ahead and getting quality scenes with the actors really bringing their A game.
I know that this can't happen every day but when it does General Hospital is riveting. No explosions, no gun battles, just people connecting and caring about each other.
I particularly liked the references to history when Carly and Jax analyzed their marriage, their baggage and their mistakes and forgiveness. I kept thinking that they gave it their best shot but love isn't enough. Then Brenda and Jax reviewing so many incidents leading up to this moment and Jax really trying to get Brenda to see the carnage that was her relationship with Sonny, and what the future could hold. Then Brenda mentioning how their love didn't end so well for her either.
Dante and Brenda, then Dante and Lulu-- strong emotions well played.
Michael, Jason and Carly - excellent scenes that played so real. Today was the best of what a soap opera can do and I just loved it from start to finish.
