I'm disappointed, y'all.
In my General Hospital review of the week before last, I was pretty vocal about how boring I found... just about everything. That is, up until the very last moments of Friday.
The March 2nd episode of the show found Port Charles being shaken up by an earthquake that sent residents all over town ducking and dodging for cover.
I had high hopes that this might be a sweeps-caliber disaster storyline that would unfold over the course of at least a week, potentially with lives on the line and lasting repercussions for the characters.
Instead, the earthquake drama was resolved in just three days, and it never felt even a bit like anyone was in any real danger. Not even Jim Harvey.
What a waste!
Perhaps it's because I remember great "disaster" sweeps storylines like the February 2007 Metro Court hostage situation orchestrated by Jerry Jacks that this is such an utter disappointment.
