Okay, Amber and I have been watching General Hospital for a very very long time. We watched it together everyday from the time we were 18-23 and watch it separately since then and discuss all the time.
Sometimes watching GH gets us a little down. The story lines slow down. Or they do things we don’t like. Or they replace great characters (second Carly) with terrible people (Carl). But, we keep going. And why do we keep going? Because we love these people. We have known some of these characters longer than we have known a lot of people that read this blog. And so, we persevere. Even when they kill off our favorites. Or do things we don’t like.
But sometimes or dedication is rewarded. And that day is today. We have favorite characters. And then we have characters that go beyond favorites. They are so fantastic and over the top that we love them more than we love some of you. That’s just how great they are. Sadly, we so rarely get to see these people. They come and go and sometimes long long years pass between the sightings.
And this is why, when they show up out of nowhere and we get to see them again, it causes some of us to yell in the middle of the living room and immediately pick up the phone and tell Amber to watch the show RIGHTNOW and not do anything else she needed to do.
And why?
Because our favorite character of all time-Helena-is back. After at least five years of absence, she’s back! We got to see her for a full 5 seconds yesterday and it was the best 5 seconds of GH in years! Oh, Helena, how I have missed your evil ways. Welcome back, old friend.
P.S. Amber-is this not the greatest thing ever?
P.P.S. Sorry to the rest of you about the long GH-related blog.
