Franco and Liz react to Carly.
The hospital was all a buzz last week with the serial killer still on the loose and the staff being questioned about Finn. The inquisition provided some entertaining interaction between the hospital staff, namely Franco and Liz. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how much I’m investing in Franco and Liz as a pairing. Of course a lot of the credit goes to Rebecca Herbst and Roger Howarth’s great timing and chemistry together but I feel the writing for this unlikely duo has been on point as well. They were connected to the story of Joss’ mystery kidney last week when Carly asked if Liz would like to get the details of the investigation. The stories surrounding Jake’s kidnapping and Helena’s will seem to be getting pulled together. I hope we get to see some follow up to Jake’s story book soon because I can’t wait to see what that’s all about. A lot is going to happen with Franco and Liz this week. Fans will want to tune in.
As for Finn, his career at General Hospital has taken a nosedive and despite how offended he wants to act about it, it’s all on him really. He’s a lying liar who lies and now all the lying has caught up with him. There is probably an innocent explanation to why Finn is using drugs and being secretive but it’s his choice to be closed off. It was also his choice to be abrasive towards Liesl thus poking the bear. Fingers crossed he confides in his new pal Hayden. I need to know what’s going on with Finn soon or this story will have completely lost me with its lack of breadcrumbs.
Hayden and Nik never really reached the popularity they were suppose to so it was time for GH to cut its losses. There has been some chemistry testing with Hayden and Finn and I don’t hate it. I’m not 100% on board yet but I think the actors work together well enough. The fact that Finn’s wife and research efforts were all lost as a result of Hayden’s father gives it the right amount of angst. It could be a good story if done right. Having them bond over Roxy was a nice touch.
Fix It Soap Jasus
Jason and Sam search for Nik in London.
I’m going to do a little bit of critiquing that I know many fans won’t like. I haven’t been enjoying Jason and Sam as much as I want. I’ve been finding them very dull but that can be fix. Jason’s reintroduction into the GH canvas was extremely sloppy. Although I personally feel that leaning Jason more towards his Quartermaine roots was the way to go with Billy Miller in the role, finally landing him somewhere is at least a direction for the character. I’ve been disappointed though in the lack of romantic beats that have been played for Jason and Sam. They got divorced. Why? So they could make love the same day and he could quickly remember he loves her? And the episode where Jason got his memories back was just the worst. Surprisingly, keeping the couple alone in a room with Post Its and whiskey has helped some. The pawn shop smackdown and London adventures are a good fit for Jasam, calling back to their days of being badasses. Hopefully during all the adventure, we can see some more of the longing and desire that made this couple popular in the first place.

A lot of other fans have said that they would love to see more of Friz’s artistic side and in particular Liz’s. GH has the characters, sets, etc. for that kind of story so hopefully we get to see it.
Yes I agree. My only complaint is that nobody is dying that matters in this murder mystery.
I will begrudgingly admit when Jasam are able to focus on themselves they have a little spark.
I also hope that the writers bring out the artist side of Friz more. Add Ava’s gallery plus the Nava dynamic could be a good SL for Liz away from the JS aspect.
Thanks for commenting! Object and Finn do spark. I won’t mind that pairing at all. I know “Stone Cold” wasn’t really a romantic per say but he had a softer side & I think BM would play those parts of the character really well if given the opportunity. I would like to see him woo Sam a little & more family scenes with Danny.
I agree with just about everything you said. Although, I’m not here for Friz romantically but I love the build up of their friendship. I’ll forever hate Franco for sexually assaulting my fave Sam but I am enjoying RoHo version of Franco a lot.
Jasam SL is missing the romance. I’m a Sam Stan but this NuJasam need some better writing because BM is just not good as stone cold. Have they even been on a date? Any flowers? Etc…
I just need Sam to interact with the Davis Girls more. I love the Julexis SL because of the soapy drama. The fallout and couple switch up could be interesting.
I love everything about the hospital SL. No complaints. Hayden and Finn intrigue me but I’m more interested in Obrect and Finn tbh. Excited for the kidney SL and Max coming back.
