#GHFanFeb

So fans. Our first week of #GHFanFeb is over and it was revealed that Luke was Luke much to the shock of Lulu and Tracy. What do you all think of this latest development?

After all the long, excruciating months of masks and distractions, Luke was amused that his identity was there all along but no one bothered to see it.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN????

What happened to the Luke Spencer we all came to love? THIS is not Luke Spencer. Are we supposed to believe that the evil Helena Cassadine has again used mind control? And honestly, for what???

After Luke got through the plutonium poisoning that Helena inflicted upon him and Helena was NOT dead after all- If I remember correctly that would mean that Robin Scorpio-Drake brought Helena (and Stavros) back to life - so Helena in some sort of revengeful move then used mind control on Luke?

Is Robin ever coming back or is she still being held hostage in France?

What happens now? The prints of the person currently being held in the PCPD jail match Luke Spencer and the remains found in the Elm Street basement are most likely Bill Eckert. Faison is free thanks to Helena and Jerry Jax is m.i.a. Everyone will soon be finding out that Luke is Luke and controlled by Helena or not he will still have to pay for his crimes.

The writers dragged this story out for way too long and now we still await Jake fully remembering who he is.

UGH!!! Enough.

Maybe this week of GHFanFeb will actually be a more satisfying one for fans!

Okay GH fans. It has taken this fan more than 24 hours to recover from that "Psycho" moment at the end of Friday's episode. I've searched message boards and spoilers and this is my theory.

Luke is being controlled by Helena. This woman who just won't die has powerful mind control techniques that she is using not just on poor Jason but also on her nemesis Luke Spencer. WHY???? I have no clue. Why does Helena want or need ELQ?? It makes no sense to me. Why would Helena care about bringing Sonny down? Again, I have nothing.

What does make a wee bit of sense to me is that the person masquerading as Luke is actually Luke and Bobbie's forgotten sister (yes sister) who has become Luke by means of surgery in order to seek revenge on them. Again another theory floating around and my son who is transgender has a huge issue with this. FTM is possible but how did he sleep with Tracy and she didn't notice anything different???

It is a bit obvious to have Fluke be Bill Eckert and after that Norman Bates' mother scene in the basement, I find it to be just another twist in this neverending story. If it is not Patricia as Luke, why was her name even brought up?

The prison escape has been a source of entertainment. I'd gladly do a crime in Port Charles and be sent to Pentonville. Look how easy it was for 3 mobsters and a serial killer to escape! Too funny. We know that somehow Sonny will make it to the Haunted Star and save the day or at least Michael.

February sweeps have begun and again fans are hoping for an end to the Fluke story and the return (for real) of Jason. Stay tuned!

February Sweeps are Coming

Today on General Hospital we were teased just a little bit more with the continuing Who is Fluke Really saga and When will Jake (or someone else) be revealed as Jason saga. BOTH of these story lines have been dragging on for far too long but hopefully we are days away from the truth coming out.

Johnny almost told Lulu the truth about her father.

Coming: Dante is in danger when confronted by Fluke. Will the escape plan go as expected? The big party puts the Spencer family and others in danger- will they be saved in time?
