After beating Kristina to a bloody pulp once again, Kiefer paid the ultimate price for his actions. Kiefer paid with his life. I can’t think of a better candidate for death. Kiefer made Claudia look like Glenda the Good Witch. Alexis slammed into Kiefer using her car as a deadly weapon, but will she ever have to pay for killing him? This IS General Hospital we are talking about. If Sonny can get away with murder, then it should be a piece of cake for Alexis to do the same. Spoilers say that Ethan is arrested yet again for crime he didn’t commit after Lucky finds a dent in his car. Will Alexis pull a Kristina and let Ethan take the blame for her actions?

There were rumblings all over the net yesterday that some fans want to boycott General Hospital after the show aired Kiefer beating the snot out of Kristina. I hadn’t seen the episode yet, and my interest was even more piqued than before. When I finally did catch the eppy, I was in shock and awe at how well done the scenes had been.

Although we could understand what was happening, GH left the graphics of domestic violence to our imaginations. After the beating, Kristina cried as Kiefer knelt before her. As in real life, Kiefer was instantly sorry for what he had done and asked Kristina why SHE made him beat her. Christian Alexander and Lexi Ainsworth deserve kudos for these scenes.

I am sure that you are all wondering why Kristina would place the blame on Ethan. My guess is that she believes Ethan would be safe from Sonny’s wrath due to his relationship with Luke. I get the feeling that she is way off base.

What did you think of GH’s domestic violence storyline? Please leave your thoughts and comments below.

When Ethan Lovett first came to Port Charles, we weren’t even sure if the actor was really Australian. In fact, some fans rejected Ethan from the start. The same could be said for his brother Lucky, who seemed to hate him on sight. Over time, Ethan has managed to form bonds with Lucky and the rest of the Spencer clan and melt our hearts at the same time. Nathan Parsons is not only easy on the eyes, but incredibly enjoyable to watch. It helps that his character brings a lightness to GH that is sometimes necessary. Did we mention he is HOT?

I happened to be watching the CMT awards the other night and Keith Urban was performing and it occurred to me that he is beyond amazing, and, he is Australian. This got me thinking about the Aussie’s that grace our screens in Daytime. This is dedicated to their awesomeness!

Daniel Goddard is probably the most recognized Aussie on daytime. As Cane Ashby, he has won our hearts with his sweet nothings and tenderness. His accent helps too!

Ingo Radamacher is also very recognized. As Jasper “Jax” Jacks on General Hospital, we love that he can be both sweet, and evil, sometimes at the same time!

Paul Leyden also hails from down under. He plays Simon on As The World Turns. While I didn’t watch the show, it is very clear to me that he is one Aussie Hottie!

Nathan Parsons as Ethan Lovett had us questioning if he really was from Australia. Mush Mouth doesn’t seem appropriate anymore as he is not faking his accent!

Tammin Sursock is also from Australia, but hides her accent when acting. Who knew right? As Colleen Carlton on The Young and The Restless, Tammin was feisty, and even stood up to Victor Newman. She will be missed!

Those are just a few Aussie’s that are gracing our screens. Let us not forget other great Aussie’s like, Olivia Newton-John, Heath Ledger, Cate Blanchett, Kylie Minogue, Elle Macpherson, and newcomer, Anna Torv who is currently on Fringe!

All of this Aussie Awesomeness makes me want to go down under asap!

Ethan Lovett is one of those characters that we hate one day and then suddenly love the next. He blew through town with an agenda, which normally we find acceptable as long as the storyline is good. Ethan brought not only Rebecca with him to town, but also a real accent that we all thought was fake, and a greasy head of hair that never quits, even when we want it to.

When Ethan first came to Port Charles, he instantly adopted a Twitter nickname, Mushmouth. I’m not sure that anyone has ever been able to come with an exact reason, but it is definitely a mixture of the accent and the way his mouth moves in correlation with his face. Regardless of the reasons, Mushmouth was born.

It took months for the “jig” to be up, and Ethan exposed Rebecca and himself as scam artists. During that time, Ethan has done some things that make him a little redeemable such as the classic pool stick fight at Jake’s. Then there were the things that were done to Ethan, such as Rebecca breaking his heart that make him a little more likable.

We are loving Ethan right now as he finds his own identity in Port Charles, sans Rebecca. We are hoping that all this change comes with a new do. Ethan’s hair is just plain crazy almost daily and not in a good way. At this time, his only saving grace is that pony tail….
