like most websites like webbmd or drugs.com or whatever will not cite their sources well (thus inherently untrustworthy) and do have misinformation on them and are often fairly surface level but the sort of next level of info is probably wikipedia and the pharmacology stuff on there can get pretty dense and hard for the avg person to understand but really the person who prescribes you the drugs should be giving you the full information about them but if your psych is like, decades out of med school and doesnt keep up with papers and is poisoned by bias ("what do you mean ssris are barely better than placebo???? my patients benefit from them all the time!!" um well that is not equivalent to actual research sir) and thinks you are too mentally ill or just dumb to undetrstand they will not tell you shit. to be fair it is sometimes because they themselves dont know (can a doctor who prescribes hundreds(?) of drugs be expected/able to keep up with all the info about all of them?) but yeah it just sucks i really wanna create like a website that would be an easy to understand wiki of drugs but im not really able to do such a thing but it is a daydream goal of mine

I know that a lot of Elizabeth fans are wary of yet another romance that she’s involved in becoming all about the man instead of having focus on her. While I did enjoy her and Franco, let’s be honest, the vast majority of the focus was on Franco. It’s obvious that the direction of Elizabeth’s romantic love life down the road is leading her towards Dr. Hamilton Finn–and I am so here for it! (Obviously, the hope is that the show is going to do a slow burn romance and it does appear that is the route they’re going so far.)

So, yeah, that worry is coming to the fore for fans of the character that she’ll be back-burnered for the man again. However, I’m hopeful that this won’t be the case as an Elizabeth fan myself. I’m hopeful for several reasons.

First of all, let’s look at Finn’s past relationships on the show: Hayden Barnes and Anna Devane.

Hayden: Other than the Blackwoods which was a story that grew out of Finn’s backstory, every single story that was featured during the Hayden/Finn romance centered around Hayden’s issues. Even the Blackwoods wound up infecting Hayden, and that is why Finn found a cure for it. For Hayden. In their time together, it was Hayden that drove the story in their romance.

Anna: Again, Anna was the key driver and just about every story that was featured during the Anna/Finn romance centered around Anna’s issues. Except for two: Finn’s family issues, first with Chase, and then Gregory. However, Finn shared that with Anna, and Anna related her own background with Robert and Robin so that her history played a part in how Finn dealt with it all. And the Hayden letter/Violet, and again, Anna helped him with Violet with her history with Robert and Robin. Still, like with Hayden, in Finn’s time with Anna, it was mostly Anna that drove the story in their romance, but there was more equality this time.

Now we get to Elizabeth. What we’ve been seeing in their closer interaction – which started BEFORE Franco died – has actually been very promising from an Elizabeth-fan point of view.

Elizabeth went to Finn to ask his medical opinion about Franco’s chance re: his cancer. He sugar-coated it at first, and she told him that she wanted him to be straight with her. Finn respected her enough to do so. RESPECT.

After Franco’s death, we saw Finn go to Elizabeth a couple of times to check on her, see how she was doing, ask her feelings, how she was handling things, her take on things. Again, RESPECT. Letting her show her side of things.

Peter and the toxin re: Chase. Finn was told by Anna he couldn’t tell anyone so Anna could continue getting the toxin to keep Chase alive and yet… he couldn’t stand to see Elizabeth not knowing the truth. So he told her the truth about Peter and that he had killed Franco. He trusted Elizabeth enough to know that she wouldn’t put Chase’s life in jeopardy by telling anyone else. TRUST.

And then we started to see where my hope that Elizabeth will not be pushed aside.

Elizabeth saw him use the antidote. And up until that point we’d been seeing things from Finn’s point of view, but now we began to see them from Elizabeth’s. She questioned him about the antidote, and then was told by Britt that she was taken off his rotation.

Instead of letting it go, Elizabeth trusted him enough to confront him openly, telling him her situation. And that is when Finn told her the full truth. Again, TRUST both ways.

We have continued to see both of their points of view from this point on. Yup, not just Finn's, but Elizabeth too. And we are also seeing both of them drive the story, actually Elizabeth more so.

Finn pushed Peter down the stairs killing him, BUT it was Elizabeth who found them right afterwards.

It was Elizabeth who first ascertained that Peter was dead, and it was Elizabeth who convinced Finn to not go to the police, to hide the body.

It was Elizabeth who was working alongside Finn to find the cure, and Elizabeth who gave him the key to finding the cure.

When Finn succeeded and Elizabeth told Finn that “he did it,” he immediately said, “WE did it.”

Finn could have called Martin Gray as his lawyer, but instead he called Scott, Elizabeth’s father-in-law.

The point I’m making here is that even in this story which so could just be FINN’s story. It’s not. It is Finn AND Elizabeth’s story. She is making so many decisions. She is driving the story JUST AS MUCH as Finn is, if not more. And what is so lovely is that despite the fears that we wouldn’t see/hear Elizabeth mourning Franco, that hasn’t been forgotten. We know because of the scenes with Carly, and at Franco’s grave, that she’s holding herself together for the boys. She still misses Franco, she’s still mourning him. She’s just trying to move on, one day at a time.

The show isn’t rushing this potential romance with Finn. They’re just giving her a story, a voice, letting her do something, letting her be a co-lead in her own story again with, yes, her obvious future love interest. And it’s awesome

Ooh! That Moment!

This is a few weeks late, but damn!! that moment when their fingers entwined and their eyes met and Finn brushed his hand across her face... Ooh, ooh, ooh!! Finn and Elizabeth were the very definition of smoldering. Woohoo! Now that's what I call chemistry. I haven't seen Michael Easton burn up the screen like that since he played opposite Kelly Monaco as McBain. (And I might be overselling that. It might have been those two as Caleb and Livvie on Port Charles.) I really liked Elizabeth and Franco. I also liked Finn and Hayden (until she treated him horribly), and I really, really liked Finn and Anna. However when ME came back as Finn at first--and this was before Elizabeth and Franco were really on--I was hoping that they would maybe throw Finn and Elizabeth together just to see if anything was there because Rebecca Herbst and ME are my two favorite actors on the show. But, nah, it was pretty clear they were going hard with Elizabeth/Franco. So imagine my surprise when Elizabeth turned to Finn for support a few times while Franco was undergoing his treatment towards the end. I was all, hmmmm..... Those two had a few scenes that just had me wondering. And then, of course, after Finn and Anna broke up and Franco died, Finn going to Elizabeth's place not once, but twice... I was like, oh yeah, it's on. It's on like Donkey Kong! I love this slow build they're doing. I love how well ME and RH work together. I love how they look together (gosh, she just looks so tiny next to him). I love having a potential doctor/nurse power couple again finally on GH! And, yeah, I just love how it's being written... that moment in the episode, the hand-holding, the embracing, her reaching out to him, constantly establishing that physical connection until that touch between them crossed the line and, ooh, that look. Soooo good. How he was tentative, but still reaching for her. How she let him, looking at him like 'What even is happening?' But she never took her eyes off of his. And she didn't pull his hand right away, but when she did, she did it slowly and her hand lingered on his wrist as she did. Then his look after she left like 'WTF did I just do?!' So, so good. And so, so, so hot. Ooh, ooh, ooh, that chemistry. I am just LOVING these two so hard.

Plus, plus, the way they literally BOOM! banged into each other the next time they saw each other and he was immediately: “Out before, I’m an idiot. I’m sorry.” So cute, and then it was over, and they moved on because the foundation of their relationship is of friendship.

I. LOVE. IT!

All in for ElFinn

Yes, it’s yet another portmanteau for Elizabeth and Finn, LOL! How many have we all come up with now?

Anyhoo, yeah, I love them so, but I don’t understand the complaints about GH rushing this romance or forcing them. I mean, cuz.... they’re not.

Because there isn't a a romance happening yet. Just a few days ago, Finn and Anna casually held hands like they were still a couple. (*sigh* It was so beautiful casual, my Fanna-loving heart sighed.) They still give each other sad eyes. Elizabeth just visited Franco's grave, mourning him. Yes, there was that charged moment with Finn and Elizabeth, BUT they were under very tense, stressful circumstances and THAT is what brought it about.

Neither one of them is ready to move on to a new relationship yet. This is just setting the groundwork for a romance. I loved Finn and Anna, and really, really liked Franco and Elizabeth, but I am absolutely adoring the idea of Finn and Elizabeth. Finn and Elizabeth are my two favorite characters, Michael Easton and Rebecca Herbst my two favorite soap actors, and once it was obvious that the show had no plans to hook up this new character of Michael with Kelly Monaco--I ADORE ME and KM's chemistry going back to Caleb and Livvie on Port Charles--I wanted Michael and Becky, but alas that didn't happen. Now that it definitely looks like it is, I am thrilled.

But it clearly is a slow burn they're doing. The engagement ended and Franco died in February. So it's not like time hasn't passed. This is a soap opera, people don't stay single long. Yet, they both are still clearly mourning the ones they are no longer with and still love. This is just the set-up phase, they are not going into the romance yet.

This is the foundation and I. AM. LOVING. IT!
