Dear readers, you will be stuck with me for the next few weeks as Tamilu is off living her best life. But fear not, she will be back to writing juicy General Hospital commentary before you know it. In the meantime, the writers are giving me lots of soapy goodness to dish about. Let’s kick things off with Drew, the man who keeps finding new lows to piss everyone — including the viewers — off. There’s no disputing that Drew Cain has a town full of enemies.

It seemed like the theme of the week on General Hospital was family matters. Anna and Jason brought Charlotte home to Lulu, Brook Lynn confessed that she wants to find with her son, and Drew’s war with the Quartermaines heated up. Let’s start there. There are many adjectives that I could think of to describe Drew. But “cutthroat” is not one of them. What Drew is doing to the Quartermaines is vile, petty, and most likely illegal. However, it’s not ruthless. It’s desperate.

Drew seems to find a new low with every passing week. By now, it’s clear to most viewers that the writers are deliberately painting Drew in the worst light possible. They are also moving Drew’s adversaries around like chess pieces ready to square up against the newly minted town villain. With so many determined to take Drew down, is it a recipe for a murder mystery? Jason tried to make peace with his twin for the sake of the kids, but it’s clear that Jason despises Drew.

Folks, I watch soaps because I absolutely love twists and turns. My daughter accuses me of being “extra.” I walk to my own beat, like to zhuzh things up when I go out, and I’m a bit high-strung. Okay, a lot high-strung. I think that’s why I love soaps. Soap characters tend to be extra. However, with the good comes the bad, especially on a soap like General Hospital. Confession is good for the soul, but that’s not true when you have a dark and evil soul like Cyrus.

I love Valentine’s Day because I’m a hopeless romantic. I have four bookcases filled with romance novels of every genre and have been known to spend weekends binge-watching rom-coms. I’m especially partial to anything Jane Austin. In 1995, while other couples were exchanging gifts and declarations of love over dinner, my husband and I spent Valentine’s Day at the hospital awaiting the birth of our firstborn.

It’s a miracle! No, really it is. Not only is Lulu awake, but she hit the ground running. Literally. After overhearing Cyrus claiming to be her uncle and making plans to have her transferred to another facility, Lulu decided to skedaddle. She jumped out of bed, pulled the fire alarm, and made a hasty escape. Good thing everything she needed — shoes, a pair of slacks and hoodie — was conveniently located at the front desk. Double bonus that everything fit her like a glove.

A heartbreaking funeral, bittersweet flashbacks, a medical miracle, a whodunit, and more made for quite a rollercoaster ride this week. I love twists and turns, and suspense and drama. It’s why I’ve been a soap opera lover for decades. A good soapy moment can make an otherwise uninspiring episode notable, turn a bad storyline around, and take characters down a different path. It can even lead to a coveted Daytime Emmy. Nancy Lee Grahn had many such moments in recent weeks.
