Well Drew and Nina finally had hate sex on General Hospital, as many of us have been waiting for them too. Carly saw a different side to Agent Cates, Ava made a discovery she hasn’t yet realized, and Jason is about to give Carly back The Metro Court. Shocker on that last one!

Hate S.e.x!

Who didn’t see this coming? Drew and Nina did the nasty on his desk and office floor! The entire thing was over-the-top ridiculous. From Nina accidentally ripping his shirt open while they were arguing, to her asking him if Carly ever told him he had an amazing body, and finally his response, “You’ve only seen half of it.” Some viewers on social media compared it to a bad porn scene! Others however wanted to scratch their eyes out after it.

Shirtless Drew GH

The conversation after the hate sex was even more hysterical. Nina telling Drew that he probably fantasized about this, and took advantage of her state of mind was insane. But it only got worse when she tried to convince him he owed her his help now. Drew wasn’t taking it and saying it would take more than rug burns and forty minutes on his office floor for him to help her. Okay, that zinger was a rare winner from Drew! I am not going to be shipping Nina and Drew anytime soon, but as I said in last week’s column, Drew has been a lot more tolerable now that he’s not attached to Carly’s hip. And I’m pretty sure this isn’t going to be a one-time occurrence between them!

Carly and Cates? Not Hating It!

Carly coming to Cates’ aid after his mugging, and helping him through the night on a coma watch was not something I expected, let alone found I wasn’t hating. A lot of viewers moaned as Carly just racked up yet another male admirer, but I thought their banter was fun. I did wonder why John didn’t clean up and change his shirt, rather than sleep in a bloody mess, but whatever! I guess it was so the next morning Nina would get a look at him in his towel in his room with Carly picked up the room service at the door. And of course, Nina took no time informing everyone, mistakingly, that Carly slept with Cates. Nina, you never learn when jumping to conclusions! Though the scene did look pretty damning…

John and Carly GH

Carly and Cates as a couple, or just engaging in a flirtatious relationship, would make for good soapy drama as she has no idea he’s the one that kept Jason away for so long. Not only that, but he used evidence against her to make Jason work as an FBI informant! That’s pretty juicy. And right now, Jason can’t tell her any of that or even warn her to stay away from him and give a good reason.

Sonny, Ava, Jason and the Meds

I had noted in a previous column it was odd that nobody had questioned if Sonny was taking his meds given how he’s been acting. Kristina was shocked to see her dad had started drinking again but didn’t bother to bring it up. I’m sure she’ll inform Dante when she has a chance. It took Jason of course to question Sonny about his medication, but Sonny, as far as he knows, has been taking it.

Ava takes Sonny's pills GH

Meanwhile, Ava can’t sleep so what does she do? She raids Sonny’s medicine cabinet. Oh but not before taking a whiff of his cologne… Creepy! At least she acknowledged she shouldn’t be taking someone else’s prescription meds, and really, she has no idea how bipolar medication could affect her. That’s just down right dangerous. And there is nothing else she could have taken? Hell, this is Ava, down some martinis!

Of course, she did this to lead to the discovery of the tampered meds, as she obviously got the placebos and had nothing happen at all. So how long do we think it will take for Ava to put two and two together? Wouldn’t it be odd if Ava was the one to realize Sonny’s on placebos, especially given her history of switching Morgan’s meds out with them? It would be an interesting circle around. At least we know now that Ava is not involved in tampering with his meds and some speculated.

This Week’s Other Stories

It was interesting to see Drew take a piece Nina did for Crimson on wellness and turn it into an idea to branch Aurora away from media and into the wellness business. And given he’s brought Curtis in for his “expertise” on the subject, again, I can’t help but think there will be a lot more scenes and opportunities for things to happen between Curtis, Nina and Drew, including sexy things for the latter. Also, the whole wellness thing is so up Cameron Mathison’s real-life alley. It looks like Sonny’s gym and steam room are going to have competition.

So Lila’s dress was somehow refashioned, and it seems it’s not just the veil as I assumed in last week’s column. But we still haven’t seen it, so I guess we’ll all have to wait for the big day. Chase also surprised Brook Lynn with a new honeymoon destination, Florence, but he had to sell his truck to make it happen. I loved Tracy making Brook Lynn realize that buying him a new truck as a gift would be an insult, and make his loving sacrifice to finance their honeymoon worthless. Even though none of this was really plot-pushing, Tracy and Brook Lynn’s bonding moments are touching and fun to watch.

BLQ Tracy Wedding Dress GH

So Alexis’ appeal hearing just happens to be the weekend of the wedding, so she can’t go with Gregory as his plus one. And now we know how he’ll end up with Tracy on his arm. Monday’s preview seems to indicate Lois is going to set them up.

Anna’s discussion with Valentin about Pikeman was just off. He lied to her, even after she questioned what she found to be discrepancies in his recollection. After her talk with Brennan last week, which also had me questioning how she’s overlooking the obvious, I have to believe she knows what’s going on and Valentin is running Pikeman now. Maybe she just doesn’t have what she needs to prove it yet.

Nina has been flawlessly running The Metro Court with Olivia for some time, and now suddenly it’s all going to hell? I immediately suspected this was about Carly taking it back, and Friday’s episode proved that to be true. I was at least glad Diane informed Jason, who wants to buy Nina’s half, that so far Carly hasn’t accepted anyone else’s help in doing so. But they weren’t Jason, were they? I can hear the conversation now… Jason: “I left you half of my estate, and you never got it. If you had, you never would have been in this position. So really, this is me giving you back what you lost because of me.” Carly: “If you put it that way, okay!” Oh, and Jason leaving half his estate to Carly? Yeah, many fans were not happy about that and felt it should have all gone to his kids… But Drew said it, Jason and Carly always come first with one another!

Jason and Diane meeting GH

Friday’s show ended, in part, with Lucy doing what she does best, making a mess of things! She royally screwed up a Home & Heart segment. As much as she annoys me, I loved the writing of her argument with Maxie, specifically Maxie telling Lucy that her love affair with herself was their real problem. And Lucy only proved that by making the entire segment about herself and her accomplishments. Based on Cody and Sasha’s talk about her career goals in the same episode, I have a feeling Sasha will go back to Deception, but more on the business side with perhaps an appearance just here or there on TV.

Lucy blows it on air GH

That’s it for my opinions on this week’s episodes. As always, leave your own thoughts in the comments!
