General Hospital

I put up with a LOT being a soap opera fan but this is too much. Sonny LYING to Carly and making her marry him even though he knows she doesn't have to? Umm, soap characters do things that make no sense all the time, sure, but at least they usually stay in character. For instance, Carly is crazy and pushy and selfish - yet she is always crazy and pushy and selfish. One may hate her decisions but at least they are within character. Sonny, however, HATES lying. He has dumped pretty much every single woman he has dated or married over them lying to him or keeping a secret from him. He has no tolerance for women lying to him. He rarely even hears explanations as to why women have lied to him and just simply throws them out on their asses. Now, we are supposed to believe that he is so desperate to get Carly back that he is going to lie to her to marry her? Does he think no one is going to find out? Does he think Carly is going to appreciate the lie when she does find out? She is going to be FURIOUS and any chance he might have had getting her back will be over. It's just so stupid and hypocritical! The other thing that is not in character for him is that by manipulating Carly to get her to marry him, he's basically admitting that he can't beat Jax and I really doubt that Sonny ever thinks he could actually lose a woman to Jax. I don't know, I just can't stand the hypocrisy and couldn't let it go by without a rant.

One Life to Live

So, what do you guys think about John & Marty as a couple? I think they have some chemistry and, well, he seems just a little bit intruiged by her, doesn't he? Asking how she is... mentioning her...

I know, I know, a lot of people are hardcore Natalie & John fans and so was I for awhile but I'm kind of sick of them together and sense more chemisty between them an other people. Like John & Marty for instance. And Natalie & Vincent. Or Natalie & Christian even. Natalie & Michael too, although I don't see that happening (unless losing Tommy tears Michael & Marci apart for awhile). If recent events are any indication, Natalie & John are going to break up sooner rather than later anyway, what with her constantly hounding him and monitoring him and even surreptitiously giving him his pills.
