General Hospital

Normally, I try to ignore soap operas, but recently General Hospital has sunk to a new low. They introduced this scrawny nerd into the story. Women in the story magically fall in love with him due to flimsy plot devices. The whole storyline nauseates me, and every time he talks, I want to slap him. First of all, he's a nerd, and talks (and should talk) about subjects that extroverted General Hospital women should have absolutely no clue about. In other words, he should have little or nothing in common with the women he meets, thus lessening his chances of being seduced. Secondly, his nerd dialogue is as fake as the accent of The Closer, and he needs to stop talking about himself in the third person like Bob Dole because I want to slap him then. Third, I know that everyone that shows up on a soap is automatically seduced, but can't we, just this once, make an exception? He's the least deserving out of all soap opera characters. What's next? Jabba the Hutt? At least have the kid spend a couple seasons failing miserably. This is nothing but wish fulfillment. It's just as maddening as the conspiracy nut in Stargate SG-1 being found to be a real alien. No. He doesn't deserve it. It's not real. It's not the reality I understand to be real.
