BODEGA

 

JUNETEENTH! HELLO!! I did not watch yesterday's show yet. I did see what happened in recaps however but I might be a bit off today!! 

Curtis goes to bug Portia. She rearranged the stuff in the living room and DONATED HIS FAVE CHAIR TO CHARITY ahahahahaha! He wants to make peace for Trina's sake. They don't know how to solve it because they are at such odds over the accident. They decide to be civil if they can. BUT They still just stand around and argue. Whatever. They agree to no more parties and when they are together Isaiah and Jordan can't be around LOL.. um, okayyyy. 

Trina is at The Gallery with Ava. Tells her about the shower going south after she left and her parents fighting. Says that Kai was right and her relationship with her parents isn't healthy. They talk about how much they helped her after Spencer died but now it's basically toxic. She needs to distance herself from them. Ava says that's a good idea but tell them first. 

Carly goes to bug Brennan. Tells him Val left to go to the WSB and they took Dr O to finish the project. Brennan is like: Welp, "Z" is busy so I hope he'll see Valentin. HAHHA Um, What!? Anyway, they think there's a mole in the WSB. Then they talk about Josslyn being at Wyndemere and she has proof. She also says that Cullum suspects she was harboring Valentin. He's shocked. Carly tells him Val called Anna from her phone. He's like: Oh he's SO obsessed with her!! She's IT for him. Carly's all: NOPE. He's all: YEP. Carly says Cullum is suspicious because Charlotte was there when he came over. Brennan is thinking Carly is in real danger now.

Cassius gets a text saying "Your mother is doing well on the project" Then Felicia is at the door because she's Worried about him? HUH ? He hasn't been seeing James that much. He says it's work but Fe was afraid it was because she freaked out on him dating Lulu. He says no, that's not why. He also says that James is better off living with Maxie and Spinelli. Felicia says he'll always be James' dad and nothing will change that (HA!). He's going to take James to the batting cages next Tuesday

Ethan and Lulu are at her house. She's typing up an article about Sidwell escaping. Dante rushes in with info about Rocco. Instead of telling Lulu what it is, he argues about Ethan giving them the passports. Then Ethan finally steps out. Dante says that Brick got some lead on Britt and Rocco's location. They went to Puerto Rico then the Virgin Islands. There are over 50 around there and Lulu wants to go NOW! Dante says no, too many islands to search and Cullum might follow them. They have to wait for Brick to get the exact location. Then when they find him, they will be in hiding with him until the coast is clear. They'll charge Britt for taking him. 

Rocco calls Char and Danny and says they have to help him 'save' Britt. He says that her brother might have her medication and can get it to her. He gives them his address. Makes them promise not to tell ANYONE! Britt tries to get up and then tells Rocco she's going to need his help. She gives him some over the counter meds to get her to help. He comes home and also got muscle relaxers by bribing the pharmacist lol. 

Charlotte and Danny go to Cassius apartment and say that Britt needs his help. They give him the cell number and the address. He has to get the meds. He tells them if anyone asks, they were there to find Nina.

END: 

Cassius goes and tells Lulu where Rocco and Britt are! 

Brennan tells Carly she needs to leave town

Trina goes to tell her parents what's what

BORING FOR A FRIDAY FOR SURE. 

The Businessman Cometh

 

Well, here we go again with another new character. This time, they describe him as a "businessman with a mysterious past". From the photos I have seen of him online, I don't foresee them keeping him bottled up in a suit and tie everyday. Those abs are going to have to break free sometime. We both decided to play around and come up with a short backstory for him. Thoughts?

Dave's Take:

Hudson was in Monte Carlo and ran into Jax (guest star Trevor Donovan) and while playing poker one night, Jax loses his shares of the Metro Court to Hudson. Jax tells stories about Carly and Port Charles and Hudson decides to fly to New York to see his most recent acquisition. He introduces himself as the new owner and Carly laughs in his face because "Jax hasn't owned or step foot in this hotel for years". Hudson realizes he was swindled by Jax and while in town he decides to see if he can ultimately acquire the Metro Court as a comeuppance to Jax. 

He meets Lucas and flirts with him, having Elizabeth clearly mention that "he has it bad for you". Then Carly introduces him to Joss, and he starts coming on to her. We will watch him date both of them, in order to get closer to Carly and his ultimate goal -- the Metro Court. 

Karen's Take: 

I'm going to bring us into 2026 by making this guy a nefarious AI private equity broker. We find out that Aurora is in trouble because Michael got into some shady crypto deals over the years and never told anyone. Aurora has also been in trouble due to the fact it's media expansion has been outdated and slow. Enter Hudson Merriweather who happens to be connected to a top AI investment brokerage that begins to court Michael into helping them obtain Port Charles land for a new data center. Michael realizes this could solve all of his problems and make him millions in the process. Hudson isn't telling anyone that they would of course, suck water from the Genesee River and possibly Lake Ontario in the process. Environmental concerns and a city's lack of power in these situations could come up. Land is quietly bought (through Lucy Coe) for the use of the center and no one is the wiser. Lucy is happy, Laura thinks some development and economic opportunity is coming but no one ever reveals the true nature of the project. 

PS. This is the blog for Thursday. Please leave your comments below for today's show. 

SWAB

 

So I'm here today but will be out tomorrow for a DENTAL appointment UGH. I hope today is a BIT MORE exciting than yesterday. It was tough staying awake! 

Tracey and Brook talking about the stupid Willow event again. Tracey says she hates to see Brook demean herself for Chase. She comes from a long line of strong women, act like it! OMG great scenes and great dialog. Tracey basically thinks Brook is bending over in the situation and Brook gets upset because she doesn't trust her. Tracey finally apologizes and says she'll give her space but she's always there. WATCH THOSE SCENES. 

Chase (shirtless) talking to Dante about the stupid Willow event again. Dante thinks he disrespected his wife by arresting Tracey.  Chase says he's loyal to Brook but Willow has done SO MUCH for them. Ugh 

 

Cullum asked Lulu to come to Wyndemere...she walks in with ETHAN who's there to protect her. He wants to talk about Rocco. He really liked him at GH and wants to thank him himself. Where is he? They say he's visiting family and is doing fine. Cullum shakes Lulu's hand. Long and hard and he rattles her.

Later Lulu comes over to the boathouse  tell Dante about Cullum asking about Rocco. They are worried.

Scout fell from a tree sneaking out. Molly and Danny took her to GH. Liz says she needs an x-ray to make sure. Drew gets wheeled in by Willow. NOTE: this Scout is a ONE day thing--the new one will be coming either tomorrow or soon. Scout leaves with Liz and Drew and Willow go too. 
Danny asks Molly if it's bad Drew saw him with Scout. 

Felicia talks to Willow and is like: SURPRISE! I got Drew the means to communicate LOL ..Willow Um.. @@~~Felicia says the company has a short waiting list then they can evaluate him. Drew is all set to go. Felicia tells him about the communication device.

Charlotte goes over to Carly's. Valentin is all packed and ready to go. She's like WHAT ABOUT Me? He says he's turning himself in to get Cullum gone. She's worried for his safety. He says he has to go. They hug and Val cries. 

BIG TAKE AWAY: 

Ethan stole someone's DNA from the evidence room to replace his with to make it look like HE's Phoebe's father-- but who's DNA IS IT? It's from a cold case-- hmmm.... interesting. 

Much Narrative

 

Here we are again! I feel like I'm in a time loop lol !! Today was all narrative and SO MUCH REPEATING! ugh...

That Boathouse is getting USE! Michael and Jacinda are there in their swim suits. They talk about the Tracey/Willow incident. They keep yapping about it.

Tracey, Brook and Chase talk about the whole pushing Willow thing. Tracey says Willow failed her test and Chase is next. Tracey has some great lines. "She looked like she was going to a hoedown" LOL. Brook sides with Willow/Chase and Tracey is pissed. She's probably doing it as part of her plan. Tracey leaves. Chase tries to plead his case more when it comes to arresting Tracey.

Tracey and Michael talk about the whole situation

Brook and Chase talk about the whole situation.

Dante, Joe and Cassius discuss Britt and Rocco. No leads. Cassius is questioned by ADA about Sidwell escaping. He says a big black SUV came up with masked guys, knocked him out and he escaped. She's not sure she believes him. Dante sends him out. He lays into her about going after all the guys in his department. She's like NOPE. But isn't happy Anna hired Det. West when he was basically gone for 7 years.

Joe asks Cassius why Britt would have a syringe in her room and if it has anything to do with her Huntington's. Cassius says he has no idea, she was a private person on that front.

Willow tells Brennan that Sidwell escaped-- they don't have any more drugs to keep Drew paralyzed. Nina comes in and says Aunt Liesl is missing. They ALSO go over the Tracey/Willow stuff. on and on...Willow tells Nina they have no meds. Jack said they could go to Cullum but Willow might be arrested. So, they need to get Drew on the campaign stuff and let him 'wake up'. 

Cullum says that Sidwell's grief got to him. They don't know where he is. He talks to some bodyguard about the whole situation. He says he's going to kill Rocco and Britt. The other loose thread is Anna. He wants to know exactly where the phone call to the clinic came from.

Carly and Val talk about a plan to get the WSB distracted... and he wants to go to Geneva. Carly's like: NOPE.  She asks what happens if they put the Cold Fusion to work. Valentin says no one knows but it's DANGEROUS. DANGER-OUUUUUUUS They discuss plans further. And further... He's going to leave. Carly cries.

He says she could go to the press and it would hurt Amelia and Wiley. 

Tracey is at the PCPD. Dante and ADA want to know what happened. She tells them Chase fell for Willow's stupidity.
Tracey goes into the waiting room with Dante. Turner finds out Chase didn't even see the incident and wasn't on duty when he made the arrest. So it was a 'nuisance' arrest and could open them up to a big ol' lawsuit. Chase won't back down. Dante tries to get him to see that going forward might be hard.
