FRIDAY!

 

OOFFF NOPE

So I watched yesterday's show...and FF'd through Sonny and ADA Turner. I'm just SO OVER him with law ladies. I did like Chase figuring things out and Liz playing detective. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Lulu confronts Carly about hiding Valentin. Carly explains that she HAD to go to Steinmaur and get Valentin's help. Lulu's not happy she helped him escape. They argue. Lulu's pissed Carly lied to let Char see Valentin at Christmas. Lulu also says Carly was kissing Val in the parking lot and did what she did to keep him in her bed! They argue more. 

Valentin goes to visit Joss at GH and thinks she knew he'd be out of jail. He says he saw her statement saying Cullum was a hero and they BOTH KNOW that is FALSE. He thanks her but wants to know why she did it. Joss says to protect Carly. She could be arrested for aiding Valentin and with the charges dropped, she can't be blamed. Val thanks her again. She asks him to give a message to Anna Devane.

Anna has a flashback to her bloody nose. Knock KNock Dr O talks to Anna about the situation. She's pissed that Joss is saying Cullum is a hero and her son isn't. She tells Anna that her mind manipulation was real. She knows because she was held in the same room. Anna's like WHAT? It was REAL? SHOW ME! Liesl draws it and tells her what she wrote on the wall. Anna is happy she didn't dream all that up. BUT She thinks Cassius is the bad guy--he dug up Nathan's body and changed the DNA in the database--just like his Father would have done.  Dr O wants to go ask Josslyn Jacks! Anna's like NO! I need to heal! As far as I'm concerned Cassius was a liar. Liesl says she'll clear his name on her own. 

Ava gets Ethan a drink at the pool. He wants more rum in it. They banter, mention his ass--she ends up throwing the drink on him. She tells him he said Phoebe wasn't his daughter! He's like Come on now, not true. She threatens to go to Alexis. He's like: GO. Ava thinks he's running a scam for Q money. He says she doesn't want to know and it's better if Phoebe is with the Qs.

Britt is being questioned by Joe at the PCPD. He tells her they know she had saline in her syringes. She says she's an idiot. She tells him how Cullum duped her with the Huntington's. He says he's sorry for her. He says she's free to GO! 

Brook and Phoebe are playing at Qs. Chase walks in. He tells her he talked to Lucy Coe at the pool. He tells her he knows Lucy went to the PCPD and about the stocks and such. He asks her point blank if she framed Willow. She says YES>!! He's like WTF! She says Willow wants him back and she wanted to drive a wedge between them. He says well, you've driven one between US! 

Liz is at Willow's and says to Brennan that she thinks there may be a connection between him and Drew. She says as a nurse the common denominator seems to be the house. Willow acts shocked. Liz says maybe if they get Drew out of the environment, he'll get better. Jack says: I know what caused MY stroke. I was working that day with the WSB and got contaminated by a CLASSIFIED SUBSTANCE! Liz asks what it was he says: CLASSIFIED!! 

Brennan goes to see Josslyn. Is angry she got Valentin cleared. "He's bad for your mother"!! She says, don't worry I sent him to ANNA ahahahahaa!! 

END: 

Ethan tells Ava to DROP IT

Lulu tells Carly Valentin will betray her just like he did Nina and Anna

Willow vows to get the black box evidence on Drew

Brook has no where to go and got rid of all her money, credit cards, car and phone. Joe gives her 5 bucks lol

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Laura is talking to Dante at the Metro. She tells him Anna is home. Dante is happy as he wants to take a step back and focus on his family. He leaves and Marty comes in.  All happy he won his case in Reno. Has a lot of money now. Laura has to tell him that it was Sidwell that set it up. He asks if Kevin/Ace are coming home. She says Kevin already started his summer session. She asks Marty to rep Curtis.

ADA Turner wants Molly to take the Sidwell case. Molly would have to give up the book tour though and make an enemy of Sidwell. Molly realizes that not only can the ADA not prosecute Sidwell, she can't do it to Sonny either because he saved her life. Molly is going to think about accepting the deal.

Lucas wakes up on Liz' couch. Ric is there too. I guess he was out drunk last night. Ric leaves. Lucas chugs coconut water.  He tells her about the medicine being saline and how Marco died for nothing. He'll never get over it. 

Trina is at the pool with Kai working on her setlist. Then her mom and Isaiah walk in. She's not happy.  Asks how Portia is. Then P and I go sit at a table. Trina is happy they respected her 'boundries'. Later, Emma comes over and they tell her Anna's home. They notice Ric is with Isaiah and Portia talking about the case. 

Curtis tells Jordan the plea deal for assaulting Isaiah is TWO YEARS in jail. tee hee. Parole maybe in 8 months. He might have to do that because there's new evidence that maybe Isaiah wasn't driving and yada yada. Curtis will be pissed if he missed ANY TIME with his new baby. They need to prove Willow was set up. They are going to talk to Nina and Chase about it.

Anna's home. Is hesitant to go in but does. Emma/Gio, Mac Daddy are there with Felicia. She's happy to be home. They tell her about Sonny's dog Fizz because he damaged an end table. Anna thanks Gio for watching out for Emma. He says easy, he loves her. After tea, Anna tells Emma to go to the pool with Gio and asks Felicia and Mac to leave. She needs a nap. Dante comes in next. Anna wants to know what he knows about Cassius Faison. She says she never should have been duped but Cassius DID convince her Faison was alive and he's the reason she was in a mental hospital all this time.

Carly and Valentin fool around in the kitchen. He's happy to be out of the attic. She's still mad about Joss. They kiss--Sonny walks in and tells Carly THIS is the WORST mistake you've EVER MADE! Carly's like WTF. Val's like WTF. Sonny's NOT HAPPY PEOPLE. Sonny tells Carly about Valentin switching his pills. Carly's like: I didn't know him then. hahahaaha. It's really good banter. Sonny finds out Brennan recruited Joss. Then Sonny tells them that Cullum fire-bombed his apartment and wounded Michael. Anyway, Sonny still hates Valentin and walks out. 

END: 

ADA AND SONNY are in the LOVE DEN. :eyeroll: 

Peter comes out to Anna "now you can get your revenge" 

Danny is a Screw UP!

 

So the show is doing so well, I keep preparing for the inventible "LULL" that will surely come. Hopefully later rather than sooner!! When ARE all those newbies coming on? We still have Serena, Scout and those other guys coming right? "Robert" and... some other guy I forget. Hmmm...

TODAY'S SHOW 

THE POOL:

Chalyn are there with Phoebe. Brook says that Deception is a mess because of Sidwell's PR. Brook asks if he's heard about Willow. Then they say the adoption is almost done. Chase thinks Michael framed her.

Michael and Jacinda are there...they kiss. He's not happy to see Chase sitting over there. He tells Jacinda about the GPS/Willow. She thinks that's pretty convenient. Michael says he thinks so too but it wasn't him that did it. We find out Daisy celebrated her first birthday in June. Michael got a smash cake video from Sasha.

Chase walks over and accuses Michael of framing Willow.

Tracey is in an office at GH. Willow walks in and Tracey's like: GET OUT! Willow says she's an advisor on the board. Tracey's like well, that's stupid LOL. They talk about all the crap Willow's pulled. Willow says she and Chase are friends but Tracey wouldn't get it because her only friends are HORSES. :dead: Good banter--Tracey tells her she could go back to her cult and be a leader now ahahaha. Willow talks about the accident and thinks Tracey Framed her LOL 

Emma's home. Gio is shirtless. They talk about Anna coming home. He tells her about Sidwell and having to go to the Qs. BUT Sidwell is caught now. They talk about how much Sonny and Anna mean to them.

Danny is talking to Brennan about his Dad. Brennan wants to know who shot Cullum if Jason didn't. OMG He tells him it was ROCCO! THE IDIOT! Brennan says: Have any evidence? Danny says Rocco told him. Brennan says to just let it drop. He has nothing and the WSB probably won't do anything now that Cullum is dead. Danny leaves.

Rocco and Dante have popcorn and are going to watch TV. Charlotte and Lulu come in yelling. Char is mad Lulu wouldn't let her see her dad when he got out of the car. Lulu's like TOO BAD! Then they find out ROCCO knew too!! ahahaha. Valentin comes to the door and he and Char hug. He tells her he's cleared and wants to take her somewhere to talk. Lulu's like: NO WAY. Dante finally says he'll take the kids to the pool so Lulu and Valentin can talk. Charlotte says they'll see each other later. 

Lulu and Valentin talk. Valentin makes it clear he wants Charlotte back. He wants Joint Custody> She's like NO WAY. He says she can't keep them apart. and the problem is WITH HER. 

Dante and Rocco talk at the pool. Char tells Danny that her dad is free and home. Danny tells Char he told Brennan that Rocco shot Cullum.

Rocco tells Dante that Charlotte told Danny he shot Cullum. Dante is NOT happy.

Carly sits by Josslyn. Joss wakes up.  They talk and Joss lets her know she's not leaving the WSB. Carly cries and says she almost died. Joss says she was successful and likes her job. Says it's her choice. Hopes her mom can agree. Carly cries but finally says she will accept it to keep Joss but she does NOT APPROVE.  Then Jack Brennan walks in. 

END: 

Brennan has to talk to Josslyn alone about classified stuff. Carly's pissed she has to leave "you'll pay for this" she sneers.

Charlotte tells Danny she could never hate him, she'd probably do the same for her father.

Valentin tells Lulu to cool it with Char because when she's 18 she'll pick him anyway

Willow is convinced Tracey framed her

WSB MOMMY

 

England won their Mexico game so someone is happy here!! He didn't expect it so...even happier! 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Carly's telling Z to fire Josslyn. He's like: A MOMMY saying WHAT? Carly tells him Jack Brennan did all this and was irresponsible. Z says no can do-- 'it ain't gonna happen" .Carl smashes him in the face. He's like: I could have you arrested for that. Then he says how wonderful Josslyn is and her great skills as an agent. He's like: You'd make a good agent too! Want to discuss it over dinner? Carly: You hitting on me? Z: Is it working? She ends up stomping out.

Joss apologizes to Lucas for manipulating him during her WSB job. Lucas is very hurt and says he was looking forward to getting to know her as an adult. Was that all fake? She says no. He asks if she'd do it again. She says yes. He's disappointed and doesn't know if he'll ever know if she's being Joss or Agent Jacks. She needs a favor though. (telling Britt she's not ill)

Sonny basically blames Ava for Ethan's wound. He shouldn't have tried so hard to save her. LOL Ava comes in. They want to know why Sonny didn't kill Sidwell. Sonny says the cops came in and ADA wants to put him through the justice system. Sonny wants thanks for Ethan saving Ava's ass. Flirty fun because Maura is there. Sonny ends up leaving.

Carly runs into Sonny outside of GH. Tells him about Josslyn.

Charlotte tells Lulu that Val has been in Port Charles the whole time...and she knew. Lulu asks who else knew. Char says only Danny. Lulu hears Danny and Rocco yelling. Danny storms off. Lulu finds out Charlotte told Danny that Rocco shot Cullum. Rocco's mad at Charlotte now. Lulu's' mad at her too. Lulu gets a call that Ethan is in GH. They leave.

Britt tells Dante "Just let me out" LOL. Dante says no. She says it would go a long way with Rocco forgiving him. He is like NO way you selfish bitch. BYE. LUCAS goes to see her!! He tells her she never had Huntington's! She gets really angry she was manipulated the whole time. Screams at him to leave. Lucas calls Dr O though and Britt tells her she never had the disease. Britt cries about what she's done thinking they had a hold on her. Dr O is just thrilled her daughter is going to live.

Nina goes in to check on Jack who's trying to stand up. They talk about the situation and Brennan says he might not have the evidence against Drew now. Then Vaughn walks in wanting to talk to him. He wants to know about what happened with Cullum. Tells Nina about the 'person she knew as Nathan West" has died. 

Vaughn then goes and visits Josslyn. "Hello wife". He's only there for clean up then off to Borneo. They decide he needed to go away because they were too close.

Lucas talks to Ava in the GH hallway. Says Marco died for nothing. Britt was never dying.

Z tells Cassius all of this charges. He said Agent Jacks said it was all his fault. Cassius is like :WHAT? Z says that he'll face the death penalty unless he goes to work for HIM. 

Sunday Surgery: What a FINISH!

 

This was my face on Thursday-- just like: WHAT!? What am I SEEING? LOL. I do feel like I watched a short film in there. Yes, that's being dramatically over the top but dang. Acting, direction, execution and editing was superb. Just a great week to be a GH fan. 

We are going to need coffee and maybe some hang-over powders from all the celebrating yesterday? Not me-- I just had a hot dog and that was it. 

Let's GO GO!

FIREWORKS!!

I was in middle school in 1976 for our Bicentennial and let me tell you, THAT was a nationwide party. For a whole year we prepared. TV stations ran "Bicentennial Minutes" during primetime. Actors came out and told stories about our nation's birth. We sang songs, decked out buildings. My brother had a red, white and blue room with Bicentennial sheets on the bed! Every small town around us had their own parade. We had plates, cups and so much merch it was crazy. We were in Philly before the 4th and it was madness. SO many songs came out (COMIN' TO AMERICA!) and joy was in the air.  

This year? I'm quietly at home, just having dinner on the deck if the rain stops. Hopefully you have some grand plans in the works. In the meantime, enjoy these fun photos I've found around the net about GH. 
CHEERS! 

Port Charles on BlueSky published this!! It's 1983!! The 4th of July Picnic which used to be a tradition. I see Lu-- and Gail/Lee... Blackie... Claudia and Brian!! WOW. 

                                 

My friend Frank S made this awesome meme and I had to share. It's perfect. BTW, those two crazy kids that got engaged up there? Kudos, I needed that joy this week! 

Not sure who to credit for this one but Nick passed it on!!
