I have a confession to make. (Or two)

[hackthis_archive]

When I was little, through various impressionable influences, I fell into the world of soap operas. Most specifically General Hospital. This was in the time of Frisco and Felicia, and Duke and Anna, and Robert and like anybody. Post-Luke and Laura, but still with plenty of things blowing up. I suspect that GH may have been my very first fandom in my single digit years, and over time (namely college and university) I have watched all the soaps. Really. Y&R, B&B, GL, DOOL, Loving (remember that one?), Eastenders, OLTL, AMC, Sunset Beach (the Sunday omnibus on 5), Hollyoaks and again, General Hospital (Jagger! Karen! Brenda! Sonny! The Triple L Diner!).

After college/uni this all stopped (thankfully), but recently I've found myself in a position to watch GH again, and sigh, yet A FUCKING GAIN, I find myself suckered. Namely by Spinelli. He's so incredibly geeky and adorable and okay, total geek crush happening here. *sigh* I just had to share that.

We won't even start on the whole Noah & Luke on ATWT even though I only know the storyline through Wikipedia and YouTube, and that awesome first time story sameoldhope linked to. A canonically gay couple! Who kiss on daytime TV!

DAMN YOU AMPTP! You see what your intractability has reduced me to?!

At least I uploaded my yuletide story today. Rock on with that one!

ETA: Yes, and Santa Barbara, too! And Generations! I come by my storytelling honestly!

I mentioned to someone else that Johnny is a miniature Sonny. The face, the hair, the everything. Are we sure he's not his illegitimate son? Lulu is a dummy and I STILL miss Duke.

They seem to be using Johnny as an object lesson to Jason & Sonny. I've lost count of the number of times they've said "Look at how crazy Johnny turned out - do you want YOUR kids turning out like that?" And now they have Michael acting out and saying these mini-Sonny things.

But see, I don't think Johnny is crazy at all. But I might be in the minority.

Yes, Duke was awesome. :) And Lulu is an idiot. Too bad they look like they're going to pair her with Johnny.
