    Back in the 90's, I loved General Hospital. I used to rush home after school to watch it. I remember when Tony kidnapped baby Michael. Tony assumed that he was Michael's father. Tony was Bobbi's husband, and Carly's mother. Bobbi got pregnant with Carly when she was a teenage prostitute and gave her up for adoption. Determined to ruin her life, Carly tracked her down and slept with her husband Tony. Tony and Bobbi had recently lost their daughter B.J. after she was injured in a bus crash. In one of the most heartbreaking episodes, Tony decided to give Maxie B.J.'s heart. Michael was actually A.J.'s, Jason's brother, kid. But A.J. was a drunk so they passed the kid off as Jason's. Now Michael is all grown up and murdering people! His parents must be so proud.

    @heywhat: And the actress who originally portrayed Carly was playing Claudia, so Michael kinda murdered his mom! But he's been SORASed, so not really. It's very meta.

    @NoodlePress: Stone and Robin were so amazing. For a while I wished that Robin and Jason would reunite. I have always hated Carly for sleeping with Jason behind Robin's back. And I never understood Jason and Carly's friendship. They need to do something to spice up Robin's storyline.

    Just a few corrections: Claudia is/was Sonny's current wife, not his ex; Carly and Jason also used to be lovers and Michael is actually Jason's brother's (AJ) son, but he was a drunk degenerate so Carly and Jason passed Michael off as his. Then she married Sonny and he adopted Michael.

    And Franco appears to be headed for making out with Maxie, a blonde sprite with great fashion sense who is the step-daughter of the town's police commissioner and is dating/almost married Jason's right-hand man, Spinelli.

    Don't ask how I know.

    This sucks! Not that Franco is on a soap. This move I lurve. That he's on a bullshitty ABC soap. Pffftttt. CBS soaps have always been the level best. What? Did he pick this one because of Rick Springfield and Antonio Sabato Jr. or some such? I'd have much preferred see him in Genoa City on the Young and the Restless.

    Jealous.

    Does it matter what subliminal messages V is sending out, when the overwhelming impression is one of overwhelming crap? The cast tries their best, but this latest version makes the 80s model look like Masterpiece Theatre. #v
