As for last week, wasn't it a roller-coaster week? They discussed everything from conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11, same sex marriage, lies printed in the National Enquirer and more were openly debated. This was a week for discussion and I love hearing others opinions even when they don't have the same views as I do. Sometimes it's nice to actually stop and question what I believe and why I believe it. Questioning my views may cause me to change what I believe or it may further strengthen my convictions. Do you ever question what you believe from watching The View?

Pin It Now! I don't know about you but from what I've seen, I've really enjoyed GH last week! I'll have to admit that I had company this weekend and haven't caught up on my DVR'd shows....but I hope to be fully caught up soon!

This trial with Sonny should be interesting! What do you all think? Do you think something will happen to have him cleared? I have several theories but I would love to hear yours!

What happened to Liz,Lucky, & Nick this week? I am expecting this paternity test to play a big part in next weeks episodes.

As for Kieffer - what a loser! I am on the edge of my seat to see what happens next. I like this story line for the younger audience since I believe it happens and is often shoved under the rug. 75% of teens know someone their age involved or are involved in an abusive relationship! Those are some scary statistics, ladies.

Oh, and one last quick comment...I hope Sonny comes clean with Dante once and for all.

Let me know your comments regarding GH and be sure and give me your thoughts on the new GH theme song if you haven't already.

Today on Robert Patterson visited The View. I think I suffer from random dyslexia because I thought I read that Pat Robertson was going to be on the show...now wouldn't that be a lively one!

3/3 Lisa Kudrow will about her role in the new series Who Do You Think You Are. I'm looking forward to that.

3/4 Valerie Bertinelli guest co-hosts! Plus, see Mia Wasikowska from Alice in Wonderland and Abigail Breslin. Alice in Wonderland looks pretty creepy but there's still this big part of me that wants to see it!

3/5 Join The View Friday for a look back at the Oscar fashions and get to see a sneak peek at Barbara's last Oscar special. Also, Wesley Snipes and Don Cheadle will be dropping by.

If you miss an episode don't worry you can watch full episodes of The View at any time at abc.com.

This week’s Hot Topic:

This week on General Hospital Sonny’s trial for murder begins! One son is tormented when his father takes the fall for him while the other is called to stand to testify against his father.

Here are a few questions I have:

Why is Carly asking everyone to lie for Sonny? Hmmm

Why the Maxie and Lucky car accident? I'm curious what will happen next.

Ethan and Johnny teaming up to take Sonny down? Surely not.

Did you watch the show this week? If you did, comment below and tell me what you thought of it.

Just for fun, here's an old flashback photo of Luke & Laura.

For those of you who know me personally, you know that I've always been a HUGE fan of General Hospital.

I have been watching GH since I was a little girl. My mom was always a Soap Opera watcher so naturally I grew up watching it too. I will admit that I am too young to have ever seen Luke & Laura’s 1st wedding, but I did see the re-runs of it — and my mom never let me forget that it was more popular than Princess Diana's wedding.

I remember coming home from school and eating my afternoon snack while I watched GH with my grandmother. Even before kindergarten I remember watching it while my mom folded clothes and did light housework.

I also remember being a kid in the summer time and waiting with my mom or grandmother (they were both huge fans) for GH to start at 3pm. I can remember crying when Lila died in real life. I feel like GH is a part of my family. Yes, I know that sounds crazy but it's been a part of my life for so long now.

General Hospital has changed quite a bit over the years with many characters coming & going & then coming back again from the dead or even coming back as a ghost (remember Alan Q? yea), but that’s alright because it has continued to bring the drama and relaxing escape for me that it always has. I'm not sure why but for some reason it's easy to relax and forget about my worries and stresses while I watch someone elses.

Now, here's some exciting news, I have the great privilege of being an official General Hospital Brand Ambassador!!! Now you’re probably sitting there thinking to yourself so, what's that mean?

Well, it means two things (1) I now have a specific reason to babble about GH on this blog which is great because I've never done that that! And (2) you my lucky readers have a chance to participate in an exciting General Hospital sweepstakes that’s currently being run on the Mom Central website. One lucky winner will be randomly selected to receive a trip to Los Angeles to visit the set of General Hospital and have a walk-on role. Tell me that wouldn't be AWESOME?!?! The sweepstakes is open until February 28th. Go sign-up for this sweepstakes and don't forget to tell me if you're the winner!

Pin It Now! Last week a told everyone how I am a brand Ambassador for The View. I get to share with you upcoming story-lines and what I think of the show. Today one of the hot topics mentioned was regarding the Tiger Woods press conference. Now I am not going to lie and say I watched it because I didn't...even though I watched snippets of it on the news. Between the news snippets, Facebook, and Twitter I think I pretty much heard all there was to hear on the subject. It is everywhere and I am sick of hearing about it. What do you think?

What’s happening this week:

• Tuesday, Feb 23: The controversial cast of MTV’s Jersey Shore will be joining the Women live on Tuesday.
• Wednesday, Feb 24: Nadya Suleman who famously gave birth to octuplets last year will be making her first trip to NYC to chat live with the Women of the View. Author Danielle Steel will also be a guest
• Thursday, Feb 25: A one hour show Themed “trying to have a baby?”Guests include Giuliana And Bill Rancic
• Friday, Feb 26: Regis and Joy Philbin will perform a song from their new CD: Regis & Joy: Just you. Just me.

Don’t forget to enter The View sweepstakes.

I am so happy to say that Mom Central chose me to be an official Ambassador for The View! So what does that mean exactly? Well I will get the inside scoop on upcoming and storylines for the show. I will also be able to give direct feedback to ABC Daytime marketing team. I am really excited to be a part of this! I've enjoyed watching The View for years now I am delighted to get sneak peaks and help promote it. I will have to admit that I agree mostly with Elizabeth, which isn’t always the most popular one but I admire that she stands up for issues that she believes in even though she takes a lot of heat for it. Joy and Sherrie make me laugh and Whoopi and Barbara are great to listen to even when I completely disagree with them. I think that I enjoy this show because it's a great way to get the latest info on a wide range of topics, from politics to gossip to health issues and everything in between.

The View is currently having a sweepstakes where one lucky person will get a trip to New York City to set in the audience and watch a taping of the show. The trip will be all expenses paid for you and a friend! The sweepstakes will end February 28, 2010. Good luck!
