Goldilocks and the Three Stooges

I have a lot of interests. A lot of varied interests. Geek stuff like comics and D&D; "normal" stuff like jogging, mystery novels, and the Foo Fighters; and things just plain outside any realm of understanding (Barry Manilow and "Ace of Cakes").

I also like a certain soap opera, General Hospital. As I was growing up, after coming home from school, me and my older brother and sister had to share the living room TV. And somehow my sister got to watch General Hospital (I think it was because my mom also liked the show). Eventually I watched it. Now I come back to it like an old friend that I haven't seen in years.

Some of the faces are gone (Lila and Steve Hardy) as those actors passed on in real life, some faces are much older (Luke, Laura, Alan, Scotty, Robert, and Noah) and some are all together new (Lulu, Dillion, and Spinelli). And right now it's these new faces that have caught my interest.

Right now Lulu, a freshman college student, finds herself with several would-be suitors. Here's how the competition looks:

• Dillion is a young, good looking guy that Lulu had a crush on after she's put her feelings behind her, it seems he now has deeper feelings for her. These two have been friends (with tension) for a long time and the actor's have great chemistry together. He's probably the front runner.
• Milo is a goof (and I think the actor playing him isn't that good either). Nothing else I want to say about him (hey, I don't need to be objective here... no illusion of "fair and balanced reporting")
• Spinelli is a goofy looking, cyber-nerd. A combination of Spicolli from Fast Times and Willow (with a Y chromosome) from Buffy. He's hilariously written and is deeply smitten with "the blonde one" as he calls her (he typically refers to EVERYONE by these self-made descriptors as opposed to real names). He would be the "underdog" character and I know a lot of people on-line are rooting for him to win Lulu's heart.

I don't know who I'm rooting for (either Dillion or Spinelli) as either character is a "nice guy". I'm really enjoying the comical situations that they put all these characters in and I've always been a sucker for a love story. I know real life is never this cut and dry and happy endings really are sometimes just stories that haven't finished, so it's always nice to see one of these illusions played out on TV.

No matter what happens, as long as "love wins" I'll be happy with the outcome.
