| "Five Years Later" Written By: Janine September 1997, with tears in our eyes we bid farewell to our favorite couple. I don't know who was more heartbroken, Brenda or Sonny & Brenda Fans. As I look back I can hardly believe how much has changed. General Hospital is nothing like I remember, the show I glance at occasionally is nothing like the show I was once addicted to--and like most fans I gave up. A few weeks ago I checked my voice mail and there was Heather screaming, "Where are you! CALL ME CALL ME! You're never gonna believe who's coming back- SHE is coming back! Call me!" Of course I called her back and said "WHAT!!!!" As she was explaining that Vanessa is returning to General Hospital, the wheels in my head started to turn. I came up with about 5 scenarios on how she would come back, and then I said "Why am I worrying about this, I'm not the writer." So I moved on to bigger and better thoughts- Campaigns. I've been updating the site the last two days and listening to Bon Jovi- which will be incorporated in Campaign #3. But the song "Bed Of Roses" made me think and I compared it to the last 5 years without Sonny & Brenda. "Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know 'Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head And some blond gave me nightmares I think she's still in my bed As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead" When Maurice first came back to the show, we finally got to see him mourn Brenda and then Some Blond came and gave all of us nightmares and IS still haunting us. I look at the destruction that has become of GH and it's like a bad horror movie. Now that Vanessa is back, we have alot of work cut out for us. Things never come easy for us or for them so we have to bear with it. I'm really anxious to see how this Alcazar guy is connected to Sonny and what Sonny will do when he finds out that Alcazar is with Brenda....FIREWORKS! So heres to hopefully putting the last 5 years to rest and resurecting the General Hospital we know and love. -July 2002- |
