General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Nikolas Turns To The Dark Side!
Courtesy/ABC
This week on ABC’s General Hospital looks like the turn is complete as Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher) has decided to embrace his inner-Cassadine, as viewers learned it was the dark prince that fixed the mayoral race that cost Felicia (Kristina Wagner) a victory and helped Sloane (Rob Derringer) and Lomax to a corrupt win!
Meanwhile, Helena (Constance Towers) is so thrilled that she has tapped into Nikolas’ bad side, which he said he has been suppressing for such a long time while trying to make these failed relationships work with Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) … and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst)! He reveals nothing has been the same since Emily died and he sick and tired of being good!
Later, Helena eggs on Nikolas by telling him, “What better way to seize your worth than by taking over ELQ!” This is what Helena seems to be priming Nikolas for! He then tells Helena, “Know there are lines I won’t cross, including hurting my family, even those who you don’t consider to be true Cassadines.” Helena pipes back, “Are you ready to become the man, I know you can?” And Nikolas states: “Yes … I am!”
Watch the turn when viewers learned Nikolas rigged the election after the jump, and then let us know if you are liking the turn to the dark side … or do you want good guy Nikolas back to sweep a damsel in distress off of her feet?

I think he’s trying to fake his grandmother out, get “the goods” on her and will then turn her in. Just a theory…
I thought the same as well….. “what a pisser” meaning… I was instantly taken with his acting…. a new layer… i’m over the damsel in distress…. Nikolas is the genteel one… a chip of the ole block… ala Laura. it’s so time for Tyler Christopher to layer his character…. this is riveting stuff for the fans of oye! what a disappointment if this is how it turns : back. and ala back to boring Nikolas and “spence” steeling his show I realize their are enough mobsters and bad men out their… but… give Nikolas some edge… a wily cutthroat business… Read more »
I agree with you, it’s time to get rid of grandma for GOOD . I’m also tired of the Fluke storyline.
Could be Nik is really working against Helena, but regardless, we have another example of the writing contradicting itself from scene to scene. Helena tells Nik that he conspired with a Federal Agent to fix the Mayoral election; that he thought it would be to his advantage to control the Mayor’s office and the police department. Nik tells her that he did it because love and life, those two things will never coexist as long as Emily is gone. (Whatever that means). He then went on that he never would have found love with Britt or Liz. That he was… Read more »
Nik was using Emily as his undercover cover story/excuse as to why, to Helena
Sloane is the reason he is setting Helena up, to save Spenser..
two different things..
((never ever over think a soap) lol 🙂
Yes, I am frustrated with the disjointed, self contradictory writing too, AJQ. I am just tired of hearing myself talk and if I am tired of me, I cannot imagine how the rest of you might feel.
Good post, AJQ.
Of course, I am frustrated, AJQ( how witty, lol). Take it with a grain of salt. There are so many discrepancies and holes from scene to scene that we either go along with them or throw something at the screen. Please forgive the run-on sentence….had to get it all out. Also, why is everything always blamed on Spencer? Poor, little scapegoat! TPTB are making Nikolas look like the fool. I had mentioned earlier that it seems strange for him to make this complete180 without a solid, sensible explanation to substantiate this self-awareness. As you have written, none of his ‘reasoning’… Read more »
I’m with AJQ, Harry and CeeCee on this, frustrated. As AJQ said, two separate and very distinct reasons were given within minutes of each other and were never tied together. The problem here is that the characters never addressed it in their conversation. Had Nik just said something like, Sloane thought he had me in a corner, so I just went along, let him think that, because I wanted to do it anyway, then that would have been that. Now it’s all silly, the Emily reason and the fact that nothing would happen to a nine year old kid, but… Read more »
Nik’s words on Friday presented an interesting twist. I’d be surprised it he wasn’t trying to trick good old granny. Why else would he let her move in? Can’t be that desperate for company. What I’d love to see is for someone to do some programming on granny Helena like she had done on Jason. But, this time, program her to do good deeds? That would be a hoot of a plot and fun! Kind of like a Stepford version of Helena.
What a great and original idea, Max…hilarious, too. I can just see Helena bestrewing flower petals as she strolls through the tainted streets of PC.
I have to agree with you,Rodd. I think Nicholas is giving grandma what she wants and what she doesn’t know won’t hurt her until it’s time. As for the election, I’m holding judgement for now.
It wouldn’t make sense if he was doing it to protect Spencer. Dante and Nathan already told him he wouldn’t get in trouble ; a child fidhing a box out of the water is not deliberate tampering with votes…and Dante and Nathan implied that. I think Nicolas is disillusioned with life and is crossing a line…or…he, too is under Helena’s mind control. I also think Fluke is Luke…becoming Fluke when Helena controls him. I find it difficult to believe that she’d pass up an opportunity to taunt Luke knowing he was in the basement. I think Luke was fractured mentally… Read more »
More thoughts later but Tyler looks like Michael Keaton in that last still frame!
I still say Kevin Costner
I’m so excited for Michael Keaton’ oscar nod though… so deserving
Michael Keaton was never better tho… in Jackie Brown… at HIS “finest”
Huh. I can see both. All three men are totally different, al good looking…lol…but I think it’s the mouth and “jowls.” Lol…look at the lower part of his face and then imagine Keaton. But I definitely see Cistner, too. Haven’t seen Keaton’s latest but I have no doubt he was excellent. Great actor.
Rebecca, you must be an artist to have been able to catch the resemblance between the two actors.
Patrick, I’m with you. I am also over the moon about Keaton’s comeback. I loved Birdman–seamless transitions between scenes and music and the sense of transcendence as seen with the bird emblem.
I always thought Nikolas seemed like Batman/Bruce Wayne anyway. He’s certainly fit enough to wear the suit. So resembling Keaton would not be a stretch.
YAHHHH! 🙂
It’s about time Nikolas flies the flag of his heritage and be a Cassadine !!
He has Cassadine blood/DNA and he should stop being a whimper boy and stand proud and strong as a Cassadine!
GO NIKOLAS -> CASSADINE !!
(I hope RC/team don’t pussyfy Nik and have him working with the FBI, that would really get me going.. heh
// Michael claimed his bloodline a Q ..
and Nik claiming his a Cassadine .. I luv it !!
Now how’d l knew you’d like it…i even said you would in my own comments below…lol
YEAH
manpower
“… he should stop being a whimper boy and stand proud and strong as a Cassadine! “
Nah…I’d rather Stefan come back and Nic team up with him…loved that whole period with Sefan, Katherine…the grand balls they used to throw at Wyndomere.the relationship between Alexis and the two of them…secret rooms..it was all rather enchanting back ” in the day…”
And that is why We NEED Laura back!!!
Nik is Laura’s soon as well…
With several people already leaving “GH” they should offer Genie a long-term contract, with a great storyline… Her children are dancing with danger, and it way past time She comes home!!!
Genie Francis was yesterdays news. lol. She will not come back to gh. Rumor is she will be back on Days of Our Lives as Diana.
Here’s what doesn’t make sense to me about this storyline: If Nikolas is still so heartbroken over losing Emily, why would he join his grandmother in going after Emily’s (adoptive) family, the Quartermaines?
It could happen, Buddy. Don’t give up hope.
Sarah, Genie Francis is a classic so yesterday’s news is today’s news .
It seems that Nikolas is joining forces with Saccubus, but, as I have posted on the previous site, I believe this to be a great put-on. He is going along with the motions…..hunting, as it were, to discover Helena’s dastardly intentions. I think that Spencer’s account of what he heard in the stables is still haunting Nikolas. I so hope I’m right. We do not need to deal with another horned Cassadine. He does not want to arise the Gorgon’s head.
If he is indeed selling his soul to the devil, then Laura is Nikolas’s only salvation.
I know…. but…. the damsel in distress has been rode so hard
LOL
for soooooo long……
give the man some appeal again
give the man edgy maneuver
give the man some orbit all over
give us treats
You may get your wish, Patrick. Although Nikolas is most likely pretending, it will be ‘delish’ to see Lucifer, the Archangel, fall into satanic-fiend-mode, borne of the Hellenic Cassadines.
Nikolas needs this transformation…he was stagnating as the sainted, forlorn Prince. Let’s see his stuff. Oh, yeah!!!!
Sorry, su0000. Don’t agree…I don’t think he’s setting up Helena. My opinion stands.
I wonder what Britts reaction would be…i know Nik’s is pretending but it wouldv’e been interesting seeing Britt catching Nik being a baddie and have her confront him for dumping her twice for the bad things she had done…would Nik confess he is only pretending to trick HELLina or lie after realizing HELLina is eavsdropping???
I think Britt would have been just as dumbfounded as everyone else. She had turned a new leaf, and even she would have not liked Nikolas reborn as a malignant Cassadine thorn.
But, unlike himself, Britt would have loved and accepted him anyway. Awww, jimh…..that’s true love…LOL.
Jimh..Patrick….I don’t think Nic’s pretending. That’s not his M.O. I think he’s been disappointed one time too many. He lost Emily, Elizabeth, Courtney…now Britt. His character has nowhere to go at this point and there’s a shortage, with the demise of so many good villainous Cassadines…so the powers that be are pulling him into Helena’s fold. I’m not sure if Helena is using mind control on him or if he’s just crossed over…but whichever it is I think it’s real. And, there’s the new actress that appeared on his arm…wonder how or if she’s involved in some way, too.
Rebecca1m
It is obvious RC wants us to know that Nik is setting up Helena..
It’s also obvious that Nik made a deal with Sloane to set up Helena to save Spenser from going to reform school for his felony crime of voter tampering and theft and prevent spenser from having a juvenile record..
but-
Helena is indestructible and Nik will come out on the short end, no doubt..
Nikolas didn’t lose Courtney. She just locked the car keys in the car with her in it and she can’t get out.
There are enough characters with “dark sides”, so having Nikolas and Alexis as the sole members of the Cassadine family with a conscience is a good balance. I can understand Nikolas being pissed at his disappointments in love and life, but it’s not being true to this character to change him suddenly like this without warning. He just wouldn’t do this (fix an election), especially for people he barely knows, as well as not hurting people he does know, like Felicia and Anna. Nice example for what you’ve been desperately trying to teach your son, Spencer, about right and wrong… Read more »
I still don’t believe it. I think he’s working Helena to get to the truth about her plan. The biggest surprise is that Helena seems to be falling for this, when she used to be so shrewd. She should be testing his loyalties instead of just blindly accepting his sudden about-face. Furthermore, the Emily motivation is SO WEAK. She died back in… 2008? 2009? So now he is over being good? Whatever. If he’s really “evil” now he’s gonna look like the worst kind of hypocrite as he tries to raise Spencer. The bottom line is that he is supposed… Read more »
C’mon Helena !
ballsy comeuppance… adroit meeting of the minds will
“…She should be testing his loyalties instead of just blindly accepting his sudden about-face. ”
it’s the best turn of events the audience has seen in Tyler Christopher in so long
let it be
“I” am LOVing this turn of events
dang! that pic above says it all : menacing; reeling with ooh la la; dare me; for penchant release
trigger happy
it’s just about time Tyler Christopher layers his fans MUST watch
the moment he let go… burning those ballots…. he stirred show ON
Hello “…dark side, manly, masculine ” imagination run wild : flirtatious
I don’t mind Nikolas with a little dark side, after all we all love a bad guy don’t we? as long as he doesn’t turn into his psycho dad, but isn’t it interesting that now that they are turning nikolas and giving him a little edge that he no longer seems to be interested in Elizabeth? Clearly he needs his mom Laura to come back and give him his moral compass back. Regardless, i’m sure Tyler feels great about being giving more to do finally, all he needs is a great leading lady(Rebecca Herbts) and Elizabeth needs guys like Nikolas… Read more »
Liz is SO lucky…. diss the pun Liz and the men Nikolas, Jake, Ric woah get out the ONE thing that has me leery… is the “rekindled” friendship of Carly and nuJason…. call him Jake even with his “memory LOSS” i’m still not feeling it…. the vibe and connect is not reeling. Carly go and cry about your SONS elsewhere leave your tentacles off … he’s not your reach. OK give me one more : Sam where did all her oomph pomp and circumstance come from? she’s all over Port Charles top dogging (private investigator) has it OUT for “Jake… Read more »
I wonder what Britt would say to Nik after he dumped her twice for doing bad things…i know he is only pretending to be a very naughty Prince to trick Helene but id loved to have heard what Britt would’ve said thinking he was really being a baddie!!!
I sent that before I was finished. Meant to say I think Helena does not completely trust him yet, as she lied about Luke. And I think he’s asking leading questions to find out more to stop her. At least i hope so.
I love it! It’s been a while since they’ve given Tyler Christopher something meaty to play, and this should provide plenty of that. Nikolas has been the nice guy for too long, and gotten screwed over left and right for years, so you can totally understand the motivation of the character. There’s also the distinct possibility that he might be playing Helena as the ultimate swerve. Either way, I like this twist in the story, and I’m intrigued to see where it goes next. It’s also great to have Constance Towers back on the show again. I don’t care how… Read more »
reiterate :
“…she’s always a joy to watch perform. And still absolutely stunning for a woman 81 years young. God bless her! ”
I think many agree and have stated as such : Constance Towers this go around… is on top of her game
don’t lose your edge… even with Nikolas
eye for an eye this time
I am thoroughly enjoying Prince Nicolas’ walk on the dark side.
Everyone on GH is basically a criminal anyway
Nik turns to the dark side…su will love it…lol…but isnt he pretending…ive learned that this soap is never going to be like the others…here the heros are the villians and the villians are the heros…lol…is it true that Jordan is being killed off like my niece said???
see… you had me wondering… when Jordan was asking Anna…. after she learned that Anna was no longer police commissioner
did she not say to anna : what’s going to happen to me now? she’s not “protected” by the pcpd ?
you may be on to something…
I hope not
I want to see a mother/son reunion first
Hi ! I do want Nik to own his Cassadine DNA and stand tall as a true Cassadine.. But- I believe he will always be a wimpy boy looking to get laid and talking to Spenser.. yup poor Nik will always be boring, why- because of Spenser.. He is a good daddy figure and he will not be written dark because of Spenser.. and that is sad!!! they would not put the golden boy spenser in a dark daddy situation.. Nik is a Cassadine and lives on an island in a eerie castle, and he is a Mother Teresa! that… Read more »
I would like to see a mother/son reunion too…perhaps on her deathbed…a tearjerker scene as T.J. learns his mother was one of the good guys???
Sue, I know you find the dark side of the moon to be interesting but if there is no light there is no shade.
In other words, there are far too many dark and evil characters on GH right now. With so many villains, it has become monochromatic.
Moreover, when there is an over saturation of villains, they cease being interesting.
Well…it’s a new angle for him to play….so I’m sure it will be interesting
Its about time! Tyler is such a good actor and him being a good guy was about to get boring. Britt saved him from that but now that she is gone, “Prince Goody Two Shoes” is tapping into his dark side and it makes perfect sense. He has been railroaded time and time again and he has had enough. I would love to see Helena and Stephan fight for Nicholas’s loyalty. I want him to be the next Victor! As for women, MANY! Don’t tie him down unless you find him someone as dark as he. Whatever happened to that… Read more »
I do not like Nicholas’s dark side.
This is stupid unless he is doing it to trick Helena!
He is tricking Helene…but being GH, Helene will most likely have the last laugh!!!
I don’t think he’s tricking Helena. I think he’s either been so twisted around with disappointment with Elizabeth, Britt…not to mention losing Emilt and Courtney…that he’s giving in to the dark side he always feared he had. Or…maybe Helena has done some mind control on him as we’ll.
Grrrrrrrr..Emily..not Emit. Well, not we’ll.
I am not buying this for a second. Nicolas is playing Helena. She threatened to take away his money and power and he’s decided the only way to deal with her for once and for all is to find out what game she is playing this time and ruin it. Not sure how the mayoral race fits into it but I’m sure it will be figured out.
I don’t know, Helena didn’t become a mastermind villain by being stupid and believing her grandson would suddenly embrace his dark side without even thinking he might be trying to play her would be out of character for her. It seems to me, she should be really suspicious of his turn around UNLESS she did something to brainwash him which is why she isn’t even questioning his loyalty to her. If he is playing her and she isn’t even wondering if he might be, means the writers are changing her character, because the Helena I know with her power and… Read more »
ooh, riveting post for
I hope it plays out per your post
it’s “just” exciting to see layers of and channeling energies of this “magnitude”
Helena and her grandson Nikolas
and just as some one posted above…. marquee stuff to see Helena and Stephan pulling out all the stops to “have” Nikolas… blindsided and provoking all this maneuver throughout Port Charles…. mysterious foreplay and trigger abound
I did mention something like that, on a previous site, Mary. That is, the villainess Helena dropped a ‘rufie’ in his drink. Unless, her defrosted brain is taking the form of Swiss cheese . Might she, perchance, think that it was her finesse in mastering the power of persuasion? Now, this storyline sounds a bit more promising than Flukie, Lukie , Johnnie, and Jakie.
Fluke will emerge as a hybrid, manufactured in Hades with different stem cells provided by Helena, Victor, Larry, Jerry, Levi , Bill, and yes, Luke. Did I leave anyone out?
Cee Cee, if Helena gave Nikolas a ‘rufie’ Nikolas will have to stroke the furry walls.
Harry…is it just me or did your post…nah…I had to have misinterpreted you! (Please tell me I misinterpreted you…) 😉
I agree with everyone who says that Nik is tricking her. My other thought is that she brainwashed him too, like Jake, and has put these thoughts into his head.
Where are Ava, Silas, Kiki, Morgan, and Franco????
Ava and Franco are supposed to be in prison…probably not shown because they are doing other things or its their time off…probably same for Silas, Kiki(who is leaving), Morgan and Nina???
Linda,
Franco & Ava are in jail. Last we saw him Franco was going into solitary confinement, which I think is to allow Roger to tape that primetime show he’s on.
Silas & Kiki are watching the baby and Morgan, according to what Lucas said today, is drifting, doing nothing.
I hope Nicholas is playing Helena, since there are too many bad guys already on GH.
Linda..
Thing with GH’s ‘bad guys’..
most all are also good guys..
they live two lives..
ie( Julian, very bad guy, a killer yet with Alexis and his family he is a good guy..
Shawn is a killer yet with personal life he is a good guy..
Ava, a bad woman a killer yet with her family her personal life she a good woman..
so–
the good the bad and ugly of GH are still good peoples..
… they live 2 lives…
a couple are bad to the bone and they are the exciting ones to watch, with no doubt..
Well, su…I have never laughed so hard since Harry’s last hilarious post. I think we should all live two lives. I think I would enjoy it. You know? Dr.Jekyl/Mr. Hyde syndrome. I already live with a doctor (my husband), maybe he’ll turn into a version of Mr. Hyde.
Hi CeeCee!!! 🙂
We all have a darkside some are just too scared to let it out every now and then lol
some say GH has too many bad guys.. but those bad guys are also good guys..
the Cassadines are the only true dark villains of GH, and I love them for that!!
Lol, su. I can guarantee that I do not have a dark side….not everyone does, as you so vehemently propose. I could never hurt anyone….and, if I had one; not even my worst enemy. One may act or think to the beat of a different drum, as it were, but, that does not make him/her a dark being. We all have something to say, not always agreeing with each other. That is the point….or point of view, lol. We exchange thoughts, ideas and opinions….and, I get that you firmly believe Spenser is in trouble and his father is saving him… Read more »
I think it’s ridiculous… It is out of character. I love Cartini, but come on! Nick doesn’t have a dark side to embrace – the writers are just making this up. He should never have gone back to Britt. He should have been paired with Elizabeth a long time ago (that’s dark enough considering he cheated with his brother’s girl) & now they don’t know what to do with him. Can’t he just open a company that competes with ELQ? They’d get years of story without changing the character.
LOL
no worries.. Nik is being the good guy .. he is saving Spenser ..
It’s obvious RC wants us to see that Nik is working with the FBI to set up his grandma Helena to save his son Spencer, who committed a felony..
I hope you’re right. I’m disappointed right now in a lot of things on this soap, and I’m usually not. Where has Lucas been? I loved his storyline with Brad and Felix. Why would Lulu even consider talking to Johnny after everything she’s been through with Dante. Why would Johnny, who loves Lulu, knowingly side with Fluke while Lulu’s dad has been abducted? It is totally out of character for him. Plus, Nicholas is going crazy. It’s like watching a tennis match with no rules.
I’m thinking Nichloas it’s finally growing into being “the prince'” but not Helena’s idea of who she wants as the rightful heir. I think he’s playing her to protect Spencer. Seeing him beg to “cuff me” me for the theft of the ballot box was the last straw. Spencer has had a serious of acting out, miss-steps starting with Luke and Julian in the stables,uncle Victor, to Brit helping him get lost for a few days. But they emanate out of the same well…the Cassidine’s quest to control the world, Helena’s special vendetta against Luke/Spencer’s, and their sometimes direct or… Read more »
Nik is not doing it to ”’free himself of Helena”’
He is doing it to save Spenser..
Spenser committed a felony- voter tampering and theft for two counts..
Nik is simply being a good father and saving his son by setting up grandma for the feds, he could careless about Helena ..
He’s not saving Spencer. Dante and Nathan already told Nic and Spencer that he wasn’t going to be arrested or get in trouble. He’s a little boy and obviously knows nothing about tampering with voted. If that’s the actual reason and the story continues along that line of reasoning it would be absurd.
He is sooooooo hot! Glad to see the handsome AND talented actor is being given a storyline. Would love him to be the out-and-out hero of the show.
I love the dark side of Prince Nik. It would be even more fun if he were working with Victor and/or Stefan to take out Helena and the Legion of Doom.Helena left Victor for dead(even though he had her reanimated) and he has a score to settle with Obrecht. There are already too many villains on GH we need some of them to jump ship and defeat the Legion of Doom.
GH’s transition to this new storyline kinda came out of no where.
@su0000.
Helena is a corpse, and as such, sooner or later, she will disintegrate. ….dust to dust and all that jazz.
Nonetheless, you just gave me an idea about our newly appointed, good-looking commish.
Is it possible that he and Nikolas are on the right side of the law and are working in tandem to corral all the baddies behind the idiotic Fluke storyline? Sloane may have a plan and acting the corrupt lawman is to his advantage. ….the only way to get ’em.
Yup.. CeeCee..
It’s it’s all a plot to take down the Cassadines (no fear RC would never ever kill them off) Nik should not mess with grandma!
Nick is still the whimpy one.. he is again being the goody 2 shoes..
(but- it is his way to save Spenser from the felony he committed..
Sloane is blackmailing Nik to play ball in his park or Spencer will pay for his crime…
I hope Nikolas gets his azz kicked for betraying his Cassadine heritage and Grandma is the one to do it .. heh!
Perhaps, Su. But, Spenser is a child…how felonious can a 9-year-old be. He’s not an evil kid….he just gets into stuff…reminds me of myself at that age. I don’t know about Nikolas protecting his son from THAT ….the kid is no felon. There could very well be blackmailing involved, but, I doubt if it’s over the missing ballot box that Spenser fished out of the water. It was not a theft…..he ‘found’ it. What could the authorities possibly do to a kid? Imprison him? Nah! It’s something else….either more sinister than we imagine, or , as I said, Nik and… Read more »
@Harry.
LOL, Harry. Perhaps what Nikolas needs is to stroke the furry wall, before he has a stroke over his melancholy whining. Methinks, he is desperately trying to emulate Hamlet.
You cannot imagine how I appreciate your remarkable, pungent remarks. ….I get it!!
I just finished watching every “Star Wars” movie made…great comparison!
Young Cassidine is now the apprentice of “Darth” Helena. Hopefully, a Jedi Knight from Port CHARLES will take Spencer under his wing and teach him the positive power of “The Force”
I lend credence to the ancient Greek proverb that appears in the Good Book (Jeremiah 13:23) “….Can the leopard change his spots?”. For those of us like myself, who have been watching GH from it’s inception , or at least remember when/how Nikolas was first introduced to us ( to save the life of his baby half- sister whom he ‘d never met, and to reunite with his loving Mother) we know that he was a really wonderful, golden-hearted young man. Through the years we’ve came to love and depend on the aristocratic Nikolas as being noble, honorable and gallant,… Read more »
I do not understand anything you wrote..
It is more than obvious that RC wants us to see that Nik is working with the FBI, he will be a hero ..
Nik is saving his son by doing so.. He is pretending to go dark to get info lol ..
what are you watching lol ..
You think you are the expert on soaps . Who are you to tell me how I should perceive something. An opinion is just that. most of us give opinions the way we see and feel things. You give them in a smug, condescending way. I’ve been watching this show since it started. I cant help it if what I wrote went over your head. And by the way judging by your past posts you should learn how to spell correctly.
Hi, Su. If you read smoochie’ s last paragraph, ….”I am faintly hoping….”, you will see that she is saying the same thing as you, in a different way. I think you’ve misinterpreted her opinion. Smoochie is very eloquent in her writing.
So, we are basically all in agreement here. Peace……later.
Isn’t that what I said, in short form, smoothie? Of course I agree…except that I have equated him to Hamlet, the melancholy, lovelorn, forlorn, Dane (Prince).
Oops…I am so sorry…I meant, smoochie. This thing has a mind of its own, at times.
Sorry CeeCee, but I hadn’t read your post. I will look for it. It’s fine about the name typo, I really am a Smoothie at heart also.
Well, Bohemian, or smoochie… We think alike. You know what they say about great minds. I concur with your every word. Good post.
@Smoochie/Bohemian….Very well-written posts! I heartily agree with BOTH of them!!!!!
I want Nicholas to remain the same; a good guy. I figure he is being bad to find out what Helena is up to because of the things he has learned and he will expose them.
bring Britt back and get him and her back so he can be good again
General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Helena, Jennifer Smith & The Ice Princess: What Did You Think of Luke Spencer’s Memorial?
Friday’s episode of General Hospital brought the highly-anticipated story around the apparent death of Port Charles iconic, Luke Spencer (Tony Geary), although many fans, and even some of the cast of the show, are not sold that Luke is “dead” dead.
During the show, characters spoke of some of the history of Luke in Port Charles, most especially Luke’s sister, Bobbie played by Jackie Zeman. Throughout the years, Zeman is at her best when she is given material through the writing of the show to connect to the history of Luke and Bobbie. She did so when Bobbie was remembering how Luke came to Port Charles to help her break up Scotty and Laura, in a discussion with her daughter, Carly (Laura Wright).
Photo: ABC
As everyone is gathering at the Haunted Star to pay their respects to Luke, Curtis (Donnell Turner) arrives to support Laura (Genie Francis), Felicia (Kristina Wagner) and Anna (Finola Hughes) arrive together, Nikolas (Marcus Coloma) and Ava (Maura West), as well as Spencer (Nicholas Alexander Chavez also show up. It is through Nikolas’ conversation with Laura that we learn why Luke’s sons, Ethan and Lucky, can’t make the funeral and, of course, we know why Luke’s daughter Lulu can’t make it because she is in a coma!
Victor (Charles Shaughnessy) shows up and snipes at everyone and then leaves. Tracy (Jane Elliot), who has arranged the memorial, is with an urn supposedly filled with Luke’s ashes and Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) finds her on the deck of the Haunted Star and talks her into giving her planned eulogy.
Courtesy/ABC
Meanwhile, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) finds his dad, Sonny (Maurice Benard) drinking at Charlie’s, and later Scott (Kin Shriner) and Robert (Tristan Rogers) stop in and heated words are exchanged between Sonny and Scott. Victor shows up and instead of Scott and Sonny pummeling each other, they get into a fight against Victor.
Courtesy/ABC
As Scott and Robert are about to be on their way to the Haunted Star, Scott stays behind because of his past with Luke. Then, Sonny tried to patch things up with Carly before they head to the memorial.
Back on the yacht, Anna and Felicia find a note and a flash drive, after hearing a commotion on the yacht. When the note says “play me”, none other than Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) addresses Luke’s friends and family from apparently the great beyond. As Helena spews her venom against Luke, Laura has enough and pulls the plug on Helena’s video speech. Tracy looks concerned, like she may want to hear whatever else Helena had to say.

Next, Tracy does her best in short order to eulogize Luke. That is juxtaposed with Scott trashing Luke. Later, by herself on the deck, Tracy spreads Luke’s ashes over the waters of Port Charles. Back on the pier, Scott relishes Luke being gone, and that he is still standing saying, “You lose you son of a bitch!” Just then Luke’s ashes blow in into his face. When Bobbie arrives, and see Scott full of ashes, she asks what happened. Scott says, “I caught the bouquet,” an obvious nod to the Luke and Laura wedding of the past, where Scott returned at their wedding and caught the wedding bouquet.

Back on the Haunted Star, Tracy then has a gift in hand for Laura, but she tells Tracy if that’s the Ice Princess she does not want anything to do with it, and tells Tracy to keep it. Spencer sees this go down and his interest on the diamond is instantly piqued.
Back at Charlie’s bar, Victor has an ominous toast to Luke saying, “The good people of your fair city are in for a big surprise!”
At the Haunted Star, dressed in black with black veil, Jennifer Smith reveals herself to a shocked Laura.
