Books about TV: Love in Maine

Love in Maine, a book that was "written" on General Hospital, came out earlier this year. Finally I've read the novel and below are my thoughts.

GH: Baby Connie's Trial Ends

On General Hospital, the verdict was in and baby Connie Falconeri's custody was decided. The infant, who had been living with Lulu (Emme Rylan) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) as her parents, was taken away from them and given to her biological father Spinelli (Bradford Anderson). Her biological mother Maxie (Kirsten Storms) couldn't spend anytime with her for the next six months. Below are my reactions to this story.

A Bit about Shipping

Confession time: I'm a bit of a shipper. From reading my blog you may not notice it, but I've been doing it from a very early age. If you've never really invested in a couple (whether is it from a soap or another genre) there are some things you don't understand, but that's okay.
