If you've been watching General Hospital of late, you've probably noticed that they've been upping Olivia's presence on the show, having her get involved with Johnny, getting her injecting herself into Sonny and Claudia's life, she even was turning to Carly for advice last week. This is all in anticipation of a new character heading to Port Charles. His name is Dominic and he's going to be a mob guy.

On General Hospital, Lucky is acting indignant about the fact that his father had an affair about 20 years ago with an old love, Holly Sutton, and appears to have fathered another child. Lucky is bent out of shape to think that his father was unfaithful to his mother. Excuse me, Lucky, but as Elizabeth pointed out to you the other day, who are you to be so judgmental?
