I'm Noticing a Disturbing Trend....
And where is this disturbing trend that I am noticing? It is on General Hospital. It is a subtle trend...one that they use only every few years, but once is more then enough. Let me set the scene for you.....Emily is essentially on her death bed after the onset of meningitis which was a complication of her breast cancer. The prognosis is grm. Her loved ones have come to say goodbye to her, but the one person that she loves the most, Nikolas, cannot be with her because she is married to Zander. Not wanting to be far from Emily, Nikolas lies in the bed in the next room thanks to some strings that Monica has pushed. Nikolas yearns for Emily, and places his hand on the wall. Emily and Nikolas both fall asleep, and have the same exact dream in which Nikolas kisses Emily, bringing her back from the brink of death. They both remember the dream, and attribute Emily's recovery to the power of their love.
Can I vomit in my mouth a little bit? First of all, I hate the couples that are so goddamn lovey dovey and for a long time that is what Emily and Nikolas were. I was forced to watch scene after scene of them yearning for each other, and then once the yearning stopped it was scene after scene of them making out while breathing so heavy I think that they were blowing the camera men over, followed by passionate....and once again I hold the vomit back...love making. Why do these soap opera characters insist on using the term making love? I hate it. I will never ask someone to make love to me. I don't know what I will say when I want to be tender and romantic, but it won't be that. But none of this was as ridiculous to me as Nikolas and Emily having the same dream, and his love bringing her back to life. Were they incapable of coming up with an actual medical explanation? I realize we have to suspend our disbelief when watching television...hell I loved it when Port Charles delved into the world of vampires and angels....but General Hospital has some semblance of realism about it. Therefore, dreamig the same damn dream is out.
Emily and Nikolas have long since broke up because of many factors that made them far more interesting then when they were just in love, but now an epidemic is sweeping through Port Charles and our young hero Dillon has been afflicted with it. He is a freshman in college, and the love of his life, ,Georgie, is a senior in high school. The disease is spreading through the town rapidly, and beecause the cure seems to come from Luke's blood, there isn't a lot of it to go around. Dillon's loved ones begin to fear that he is going to die, and thus Dillon and Georgie decide to get married. Yes, married. I find this to be ridiculous as well, but that is not what this particular rant is about. After much cajoling on the part of Maxie, Mac agrees and in a moment of rare humanity, Tracy agreed to go along with it if Mac gave permission since Georgie is only 17.
They marry, and Dillon takes a turn for the worse. Georgie refuses to leave his side, and gets in the bed with him as he fitfully sleeps. She eventually falls asleep, and what happens.....we are treated to a dream sequence in which Georgie and Dillon are dressed to the wedding nines and married. They have cake, and say vows, and dance. In the final moment of the dream, Georgie tells Dillon to live. He awakes with a start causing Georgie to wake up. Miracle of miracles Dillon's fever has gone down(a good sign for this particular disease...or that is what seems to be what the intrepid medical staff of GH seem to say).....I can't remembere who started to describe the dream first...oh wait it was Georgie. Dillon stops her in astonishment as he realizes that they had the same dream.
What brought Dillon back to life? Georgie's god damn love. I'm all for telling love stories, but these are ridiculous scenarios and the fact that General Hospital has donw this twice, albeit the circumstances are a bit different in each case but essentially the sheer ridiculousness of the circumstances is the same, in less then five years is just ridiculous.
I never want to see this happen again. Come up with another way to bring these people back to life. Give me a medical reason.....give me something other then miraculous cures of the hart, and people united in the same dream. Not acceptable.
Take note producers of General Hospital....take note. Never again.
I'm glad that Emily and Dillon are alive. I'm just not happy how they were kept alive.
