Additional Comments: It looks like Logan might assult Maxie, not Lulu. I hope they don't do one of those, the character has been raped and now she is a "good girl" like they did to Elizabeth on GH and Marty on OLTL.

Agree. Rape used as "redemption" is a morally bankrupt plot devise. Soaps have already used it too much. It's a horrid concept and if it gets trotted out yet again, I hope viewers raise a ruckus. If GH writers really see the act of rape as a good way to straighten out errand characters, take them into self-discovery or open the door to a new romance, why don't they try it on a few of the men for a change. Why not have Logan rape Sonny or Jason? Why is it that only soap women are "redeemed" by sexual assault. If they must use this trashy canard, they need to apply it to BOTH sexes! Rape Rick or AZ. Better yet, do a rape story with Johnny as the victim. Talk about 'high stakes drama.'

I get your not wanting that SL...but I could live with a GOOD Maxie-Pad since I hate her anyway.

Possible Spoiler Below.....

I don't think that Logan rapes Maxie, but I believe he does attack her, and while looking thru the window, Lulu sees it and, when she confronts Logan, he turns on her and tries to rape her.

This is just so damn sick- why do they have to do this to the character- damn it is so not needed - just have him leave town for cripes sake - DAMN!

I am sure they are doing it for storyline purposes. Everyone will care maybe for 5 minutes and then act as though he did not exist. Josh deserves better and hopefully he will find a better role elsewhere.

They are just setting up a murder story where Lulu, Maxie and Johnny wrrestle with Logan and he is somehow killed and the 3 must join forces to keep it secret. Guza has been reading old GH scripts again, having teen Lulu kill someone in self defense or accident as Laura did with David Hamilton. Laura's was far more interesting in that Lesley stepped in and took the blame and went to prison and it was the beginning of Laura's understanding of her mother's love. It was a sorta murder story, but really a mother-daughter story in which Laura must finally come forward and accept Lesley and the two bonded. The court put Laura on probation and that led to a story with Bobbie and Scotty which then introduced Luke. But Guza's stories don't lead to more stories usually. He writes the sensationalism and then forgets to tie it up or take it anywhere--like the Metro Court thing. Over is over for him. Too late now to go back and tell us what was in the briefcase and who ordered it taken, the mystery person on the telephone to Jerry, etc. Once sweeps month was over, that was it. GHFan

Yeah, what was in the briefcase. As for the guy, maybe it was Devlin?
