Pop culture with a hangover

Well, I never! General Hospital ripped off our very lives.

I have a shocking announcement. It has come to my attention that a certain daytime drama known as General Hospital has recently (well, if you consider last year recently) featured two characters, who apparently are some manner of rivals, named Liz and Laura! I assume Laura is the same Laura who went out with Luke. I noticed this peculiar Liz and Laura coincidence because I was searching for us on Google to see how popular we are. Turns out: very popular.

So now I’m reading all these episode descriptions written by fans with way too much free time, and they’re hilarious, because it sounds like they’re talking about me and Liz. For instance, “Later, Liz visited Laura, who advised her to have an open mind toward Lucky because some loves can overcome near-impossible odds - like hers and Lucky’s,” and “Lucky arrived for pies and filled in Liz about Laura’s condition, then noticed blood on her dress. Ric overheard the exchange. Liz lied and said it was a wine stain.” (Yahoo! TV) And here’s a tongue twister for you, “Liz tells Laura that Lucky didn’t want her or Luke to know he was there, and also tells her that Lucky has seen LuLu.”(About.com) Yeesh, couldn’t they have thrown a Eunice in there?

So anyway, I would probably start watching General Hospital just to laugh about this, but I’m a Passions woman, and nothing can change that, not even the fact that the show moved to a channel I don’t have and can’t afford. When General Hospital gets a monkey and some zombies, let me know.
