GENERAL HOSPITAL: Griffin (The Priest!) Gives Carlos His Last Rites, While A Shocked Anna Can't Get Justice For Duke!

19
I actually liked Friday’s episode a lot. But much hinges on whether or not the writers have a plan in mind and aren’t just plotting things along blindly. Making Griffin a priest was jaw droppingly good. The reveal made sense to me given we were first introduced to him in a chapel, and ever since he has seemed a little too good to be true. The contrast between his impulse to forgive, and Anna’s impulse to seek revenge, shifted their relationship into dynamic new territory. But that still leaves us with the weird mystery of his gunshot wound and his… Read more »
I totally called the priest thing a few weeks back. I’m also guessing that Nathan shot Griffin after catching him with Claudette.
As for Julian, why should he have to pay for his crime? Sonny murdered legacy character AJ and he only did like 20 minutes in Pentonville.
Well said, Melissa. I agree.
Anna will never get justice for Duke…In PC crime pays and makes you the shows new hero…Julian has got to pay-send him to prison and write the character out-same with Ava and all other criminals who commit murders…gosh i miss Edge Of Night-criminals always paid for their crimes and never made the shows heroes-once killed off most stayed dead too!!!…the best murder storyline was when Winter Austen was found not guilty for murder and it turned out she was the murderer but in the end she died and justice was served the way it should be for any murderer!!!
If you wrote out all other criminals who commit murders there would be barely anyone left on this show
You can write villians without being killers…the British soap Coronation Street has been on the air for over 50 years-most of their killers were killed off or sent to prison…American soaps used to be that way…killers were killed off, went to prison or a mental hospital…there have been all kinds of scheming villains in daytime who did not commit murder like Lisa on ATWTs, Rachel and Iris on AW, Linda on Days-killers like Walter Curtain ended up dead and the story moved on with his widow Lenore-that was daytime drama at its finest and how it should be now…it doesnt… Read more »
I completely agree curacaoman. There isn’t probably 1 person left on the show who hasn’t murdered someone or attempted murder. Even though they come back to life, they still attempted to kill them. LOL. No can throw any stones here.
If this mess wrote out all the murderers. No more show .Even the child Spencer tried to kill Emma, and cam. Anna may not have killed Carlos, but she certainly tried.
Jim…’Mr. Gangsters Neighborhood’…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Forgive me, dude…I had to laugh…LOL!!!!! Oh…and BTW, I (also) miss The Edge Of Night. Yes.
Take care, Jim.
This is an interesting story but I dont like the way they are writing Anna. She has morphed into a revenge at all costs obsession to get Julian. She will sacrifice legal rights, family, friends to get what she wants. I dont like this, Anna has always been a person of the law. What an example she is for little Emma. NOT! Even Duke wouldnt want this for her.
This was one of the finest episodes GH has ever produced. The time went by so fast that I was gaping at the previews not even comprehending them. Glanced at the wall clock and thought it must be running fast. It was like a vivid dream that left you a bit unsure of your own status for a few seconds. More please.
Okay Anna has become a bit Moby Dickish with her obsession for justice for Duke. She is not even law enforcement so how can she and Sonny be allowed in Carlo’s hospital room. How many times have loved ones been shooed out those rooms, but these two can waltz right in. Frankly I used to like Anna but lately her pursuing her white whale named Julien is making her more unlikeable by the minute. As for Griffin being a priest, he must have been pretty darn young when he went to Seminary. It takes about seven years of study to… Read more »
I was thinking the same thing Mary!
I never thought I would say this’
I hope someone shoots and kills Anna ..
That character needs to put out of my misery..
It’s sad, indeed— that J&S destroyed the greatness of the strong power woman Anna..
I can hardly tolerate watching her, anylonger.. (and that is a shame.
As for carlos– he died magnificently !
Griff.. I knew he was priest/holly whatever very early on, no surprise ..
Anna needs to accept that Duke is dead and move on. Duke was not an angel, he was in the mob. I understand she wants Julian to pay but sometimes life happens and you have to accept that it isnt always fair. Anna doesnt need to die, she needs a visit from an ex- Aussie! MOve on Anna!
Yes. Come back Robert. 🙂
I thought Friday’s episode was great. Anna and Griffin struggling in different ways. Their portrayals were wonderful. Sonny being the last person one might expect to be the voice of reason and adding some dry wit when least expected. You could feel Anna’s frustration as she stood there wondering what alternate universe she had stepped into. The surprise priest to her right. The alter boy mobster to her left. The evil murderer on his death bed feeling deserving of sainthood. Catholics and non-catholics probably chuckled at some of the dialog, for different reasons. It worked. Great job.
I loved the episode with 1 exception. I can’t believe GH crossed this line of all lines, in my opinion they showed nothing but blatant disrespect to the Catholic Ceremony. Not being of this faith I am not sure of the rules but I would assume last rites should be a private matter – if ANYONE else would be present I would think it would be family. On top of that Anna insisting this has to stop right now so she can get her confession?? Seriously GH ?? I also believe Confession is a private matter as well. This just… Read more »
I’m Catholic and can confirm that when a priest offers to hear the sacrament of confession, final or not, the room is usually cleared for total privacy. The Anointing of the Sick or Last Rites is a completely separate sacrament and does not require privacy. But, the recipient is usually extended the courtesy, if they are conscious, of having family present. I can assure you that most police do not insist upon questioning a patient when Last Rites are being performed. And, in a hospital, no staff would permit detectives or a non-family member, like Sonny, to barge into a… Read more »
