Additional Comments:

I think that this has been a great stretch for GH.

The focus of families and relationships have been key.

The relationship between Luke, Lucky, Liz, Nik has all made for great watching.

Dante, Olivia, and Sonny: Can't wait for the truth to come out.

Lulu and Dante are great.

And the Aftermath of Claudia has been very interesting.

Its been good watching Lately. I think James Franco will made Claudia's aftermath more interesting.

It depends on what you call family. As others have pointed out, Carly's mother has been nowhere to be seen in her latest drama. Hard to believe that Bobbie is part of the hospital, yet is never seen--ESPECIALLY when her daughter just gave birth!

Luke hasn't been part of 'family' for a very very long time. It isn't just the Spencers either. It is ALL of the families on GH, and on soaps in general. Where are the Hardys, the Q's, etc.? They are either non-existant or they are shells of their original self.

They would be very wise to focus on family dynamics these days--it has been sorely missing on GH. ( I don't count Sonny and his abusive and controling ways with his offspring and exes.)
Only one thing though--I do not want to see them try to replay Luke and Laura and Scotty with Nik, Liz and Lucky. Seems they were being pretty unsubtle today about it. Nik said something about Luke betraying his best friend Scott back in the day, and Luke had to say 'you are nothing like me'. And Lucky is assuming a bunch of stuff about himself and Liz just as Scotty did and Liz is all hesitant as Laura was.

Nik needs to know Luke and Scott were NEVER best friends at all--more like acquaintances. (Luke sarcastically called Scotty 'the little prince' behind his back). They came from completely different backgrounds and had nothing in common except a few friends and evenings at Luke's disco. And finally Laura, of course. Luke grew up on the streets, started running numbers for the mob in his teens, but longed for a better life. Scotty was a succesful lawyer's step son and was in law school. He was a bit over-confident about Laura, who was too young and self-absorbed to be the wife he expected. It took Luke to mature and widen her views of life. They fit perfectly.
But believe me, lumpy Nikolas is nothing like Luke and Lucky is not that young, chauvenistic, good-boy Scotty. And Liz is certainly not Laura. So I do hope they don't try to redo history here. There was and could be, only one Luke and Laura.

I agree with you. I love the emphasis on family. These are good times for GH fans. I only wish that Bobbie was with Carly in the hospital. There was a mention of her a few days ago. Someone (not Carly) said that she was out of town, to explain her absence. I hope we have Quartermaines for the holidays.
