Amongst the many winners of the 2010 Soap Opera Spirit Awards, my oh so favorite soap actor Michael Muhney took home honors for being the Outstanding Male Actor in a New Role or Recast, along with GH cutie Drew Garrett. The honors are much deserved! To see all the winners, click here.

My girl Chrissie recently pointed out that Drew Garrett (Michael, GH) makes some pretty scary faces in freeze frame. See for yourself!

This year on General Hospital, the Corinthos and Davis kids each caught a serious case of SORAS. This was casting at it’s best. Kristina, Morgan, and Molly resemble each other and are all three fabulous actors. The big props go to the casting department for snagging Drew Garrett in the role of Michael Corinthos. Some argue that Michael is, well, too much attitude and not enough respect, which is all true. After everything that has happened in Michael’s life this year, it is understandable that the kid may be a little screwed up in the head. Drew delivered it well, and we can’t wait to see what he brings to the table in 2010. As an afterthought, I think it is important to mention the best line to ever leave Steve Burton’s mouth in a scene with Drew:

“You’re acting like a little bitch right now!”

Why do I always get robbed out of a good soap day when I am off from work? Never fails. Highlight of today’s show for me: Lulu and Olivia. I am a big LuDa supporter and I can totally see a mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship with these two. Looks like we will not be getting Laura anytime soon and Olivia is such a mom, Lulu needs this, because in that department, Carly is useless! Carly has always been one of my faves, especially Laura Wright’s version, but she is working my nerve lately! Which brings me to my newfound hate for her kid, Michael Corinthos III. I’m going to need somebody to put that little dude in his place pronto! I, for one, can’t wait until it comes out that Dante, not this little brat, is Sonny’s first born! That’s going to make my year! (Yes, I know he’s not biologically his, but you know what I mean) Leading into Sonny’s other offspring Kristina, WAKE UP!! I am quite interested to see who offs Kiefer; we know it’s bound to happen. I vote for Dante. Quick note on yesterdays show: Morgan is my favorite little dude for telling his mama off and Sam made a very valid point about that little brat Michael that I totally agreed with. Then today I get JaSam shoved down my throat! Sorry, but I may be one of the few sick of these two and their back and forth mess. Let’s get these two hooked up with two totally different people, please. Is it time for Ingo’s vacay yet? If so, can we send Drew with him? That’s all for today.

The demise of Claudia Zacchara has had a ripple effect on quite a few of the residents of Port Chuckie, that even my head is spinning, but not in a good way. I am one of the many “love to hate” fans of the devious diva. Do I think she needed to die? Nope. My main problem with that is the simple fact that no one else in PC has paid for the crimes they have committed, over and over again. Now here we have a teenaged murderer Michael who, of course is going to get off with this “justified” (in Daddy’s eyes) crime. His loving, but oh so blinded mama, Carly is onboard for this cover up. As is, who I call his real Daddy, Jason Morgan. Why does this surprise me you ask? It doesn’t. It does however, annoy me to no end. This secret, accompanied by the original secret kept about the person responsible for Michael’s shooting, has caused a rift in the CarJax marriage. Don’t be fooled, I could care less about this, but it’s still a casualty. My favorite, hard to come by friendship of Carly and Olivia is now strained. No, I don’t think Olivia is innocent and should have been spared, it just plain old SUCKS! Poor Kristina, who quite honestly is starting to grate on my nerves, saw her father in his true form for the first time and now believes he murdered Claudia himself. No child should ever have to experience that. The only person in that town who has my undying sympathy is Claudia’s brother Johnny. No matter how sick or demented Claudia was, to Johnny, she was still his sister. All the poor guy wants is the truth…closure if you may. Brandon Barash delivers those lines so damn well; I can’t help but cry for him. As for the Devious Diva herself, I don’t know how many of you have seen the movie, but that bitch could so come back Kill Bill style a la Uma Thurman, just sayin’…

Apparently, now that General Hospital’s Michael has officially offed someone, he wants to be like his mobster father Sonny Corinthos more than ever. This week, Michael will order a couple of minions (Max and Milo) to “take care” of Kiefer. We aren’t sure if that means they are actually going to kill Kiefer, or just give him the ass whipping he truly deserves. We’re not even sure if these guys will take Michael’s orders seriously. Either way, Kiefer is such a little asshole, we will be excited to watch it go down. Looks like Michael is becoming a Mr. Big Head just like his daddy!
