The West/Maxie hijinx show was HILARIOUS! If we can't have #Julexis I can totally get behind this show! 7/2/14 #GH Recap

I really enjoyed today's episode and it wasn't because it was some pinnacle in story telling. It was however a super enjoyable and entertaining mix of drama and hilarity. All that was missing was intrigue, but we'll totally get that later this week I am sure. Also, how does one get setup to be handcuffed to West? Cause I will totally do WHATEVER is necessary... Let's discuss! But first what about a #GH Selfie?

Do you see that extra back there? She walks through at least 4 scenes today

So many reasons today's episode was so enjoyable, where to start.... So apparently it is the 4th of July in Port Charles, because everyone has started to mention it today. As such the teens are prepping to watch the fireworks in the park. Of course as they chat it up before the show begins the conversation leads to Rafe (which is awkward because of all the trouble he has caused them) and Molly mentions that Rafe came by to apologize and TJ drops the bomb that Rafe is a coke head. They react appropriately to their personalities as TJ wants to enjoy fireworks and Molly wants to run, go find, and help rafe. I do like that girl so very much. Plus, it's summer so this is the official gas pedal move to these teen summer storylines. Hopefully, they'll be better than last year.

Alexis's lovely back up plan

You all know that I haven't been supportive in the last few weeks of the insistence on bringing back old characters instead of focusing on CURRENT characters *cough JULEXIS cough* but... I have to admit if they want to bring back Wally Kurth back for good I am totally ok with. If I am being completely honest, if Julian and Alexis ever break up (ducks, runs for cover, begs you to understand!) which I don't want them too... well I would totally support Alexis getting back together with Ned. I mean.... just saying.

Hijinx and romance to follow!

Then of course there was the Maxie/West comedy hour! All the completely non-plausible scenarios (the key goes missing on a farily open floor, he doesn't want to be embarrassed at the station, etc) occur so we get to see them dance around the brownstone in strugge, crawl on the floor and end up in compromising situations together! Honestly though, I really liked it. They have such chemistry and I really hate Levi, so I support anywhere this storyline goes. Did you catch that the only other key is in his bedroom? I did! Tomorrow is gonna be SO GOOD. 

It's like "To Catch a Predator" up in here.

Across town at the hospital the adults are on the hunt for Rafe, as now everyone knows that he is the driver that hit Pabrina & family, causing baby boy Pablo's Gabriel's death. They scour the hospital and bring Dante in on the search. But, little do they know Rafe heard they were going to look for them so he has run home and just before Nina arrives! He is off packing his getaway bag, when Nina comes home with Rosalie. Thinking that everyone is back at the hospital or somewhere else in town Nina does not hesitate to kick away the chair and walk around bitching about everybody. Not so fast! Rafe is like "I'm sorry you were talking shit about everybody?" He attempts to be bold for like a minute until Nina LITERALLY leaps at him and starts threaten the troubled teen. She gets really creepy too, basically telling him Silas won't care for him if he were to learn the truth. As if I didn't like her enough ALREADY. 

Morgan really cares about the dominator #feels

Lastly over at ELQ, camp counselor Alice is about to tell Mike about Tracey's secret convo with Luke when she comes down with something bizarre that affects your abdomen and also your heart.... she passes out and the boys run over because they are sweet boys and Tracy calls 911. Morgan gets there and starts compressions. Mikey wants to know what Alice was talking about but Morgan and the paramedics remind him that there is someone being rushed to the hospital in the room so you know.... that conversation ends. This will be a slow burn storyline so I see some fast forwarding in it's future. 

PREVIEWS

OMG. Tomorrow looks SO GOOD! -- The West and Maxie show takes a stab at the romance genre, awkwardness abounds as Nik comes to pic up Liz while Britt is there (also it's been a year since they first "dated" at 4th of July awww), lil' Emma gears up for more heartbreak as she asks Patrick if he and Robin are getting a divorce, Dante kicks down the door again, TJ finks on Rafe to Alexis, and Molly is in the parking structure just in time to stop Rafe #ROADTRIP!!!

NOT SO LIVE TWEETS 

• Cars, because #synergy
• NED!!!!!!!! I miss you so. Please don't go again! What does +Days Of Our Lives have that +General Hospital doesn't have? We have BLTs! and Relish! Just ask +Frank Valentini !
• oh hijinx! He definitley won't have the key.. where is the fun in that?!
• Side note +Ron Carlivati is totally right - why is no one from GH on the +ABC Television Network "hot men" commercial. I mean at least +Ryan Paevey-Vlieger or +William deVry am I right? Just a shame.
• Hey cool plot device guys! Abdominal pain! That hasn't been used in awhile. I guess they weren't going to have Tracy actually hurt her.... 
• Hey remember last year when i would fast forward through all the teen scenes? No? Oh that's right I didn't have a blog then. Well hopefully these storylines won't be along those FFing lines
• Dear Kiki, please don't talk to Nina, she'll just use the info as ammo against #SIAM . 
• EW! Veggie Bacon? SORRY VETO! But, hey at least Kelly's has healthy options!
• I literally just shouted at my tv "SHUT UP ROSALIE" - it's safe to say i don't like her at all.
• Speaking of police a cop just happens to be walking by so... 
• Did Morgan just frantically run to Alice and say oh  no Dominator!? Wow... so no Emmy writing nods next year either huh? lol JK, you know I love this show
• Alexis is SO SMART #educated #perfect
• No Nina, NO ONE like you #truth
• YEs! Rafe knows the truth!! Get violent kid! oh.. wait.. you're prob just going to milk her for the money?
• She jumps crazy too. +Michelle Stafford is just really really good at being bonkers.
• HA! West took the words right out of my mouth #science #physics
• He is so dreamy. This scene is therefore ADORABLE. I would love to film this scene with him, or rather any scene #swoon #dreamy #westistheBEST
• In hindsight there are a lot insane adults involved in Rafe's life, he really never stood a chance
• Honestly, Silas would forgive him - and shouting at a troubled teen just makes you MORE of a horrible person. Anyone who remains Team Nina is CRAY CRAY
• hahahahaha! that girl in tan shorts walked by earlier! She must be doing laps!
• Break down the door! As opposed to having Sam knock like a proper guest while Dante waits downstairs.... but hey I'm not a cop...
