Oh Dammit!

Mama dragged my back into soap operas. Well, just General Hospital since it's the soap equivalent of Batman. I mean, there's Sonny, who everything pretty much evolves around. His hitman, Jason, who's guns, leather, and motorcycles (okay, a lot more stoic than our Jay, but there are many parallels like brain damage and you know, the name).

Sonny also has a bunch of kids that he really isn't that good for. Sound like anyone? *cough* Bruce *cough* Then there's Jason's family that pushed him away (with love, oops) after the brain damage then he became a 'criminal.' Okay, he is a criminal, but Jason Morgan is painted as a hero in the soap. Too bad Jason Todd couldn't get painted like that.

Oh, and Sonny has all these women that never stick and reoccur. Bruce's women, same dealie. I could probably compare Lulu to Steph (though, her stupid teen pregnancy thing ended in abortion). There's just a lot.

Lets also add that death means nothing in soaps, just like comics. XD All depends on the actors in soaps like it depends on the editor/writers in comics.

Aaaand, I was really seduced back because Jonathan Jackson who plays Lucky Spencer is hot and an amazing fucking actor. I teared up at his awesomeness. <3

I started watching GH because of Jonathan Jackson too. He's amazing! But seriously, you dare compare Sonny to Bruce? Really? Sonny is a rat bastard mob boss that belongs in jail and Bruce is pure awesome. I do see your Lulu to Steph comparison, I've had the same thought myself. My biggest complaint about GH is the criminals are painted as heroes far too much. Jason Todd did everything he did, regardless of how misguided, for the greater good. Jason Morgan may have a good heart but he's still a mob enforcer. LOL, so glad to know I'm not the only comic book AND soap fan!
