HAY There (get it? hahaha)

 

Yesterday's Show impressions:

KW is KILLIN' me. I just keep thinking about her in real life and how hard this must be. Dang. 

Loved Tracey doing the whole horse lady. Rich people DO take care of the horses if they need to! 

RAVA NEEDS TO BE A THING. I'm not happy about this Elizabeth thing. Ava and Ric are perfect for each other.  "Everything he does makes me sick" says Nina ahahaha. 

Marty and Stella. GAH

And again, I'm saying this: I LOVE MEK on the show.

Maura and Cynthia look resplendent.

Cam M is diggin' his heels and face and eyeballs ALL INTO being mean. 

And.. yeah, the whimsy of Molly's fantasy is ok with me. Better than listening to people go over the same stuff over and over again. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Brennan fixes Carly's garbage disposal. Yes, that's true. Not snark. He gets a text from Vaughn. Carly tells him about Maxie being in GH. Then talks about her kids. 

Willow's a bitch to Nina but Ric tells her she has to get some FAMILY references for her court case so will she relent? Oh she asks Krissy when she comes in with flowers for Maxie. Willow has a sob story for her and Krissy says, sorry--Michael is my brother. EPIC WILLOW TAKE DOWN! Krissy calls her the worst mother ever. Willow runs and Cries. Liz takes Kristina into the break room and reminds her about 'rash decisions' and she CUT THE BRAKE LINES on Ava's car. OHHHHH DUN DUN DUN. Kristina asks if she's blackmailing her. Liz says no, just show some grace to Willow like I showed you. 

Nina tells Ric that Willow was talking to Drew. She says he has to tell Willow it's forbidden and will hurt her case if she does. He says you want me to lie? She's like: YEP. 

Cody and Ava. Ava basically won't let Cody get a word in about what he's really up to. Keeps interrupting her. Says the Davis girls are awful. He says Molly is nice. She's like, nope she might be the worst of the bunch! She says she's going to stay with Ric because it makes them all so mad. He says: well, what if there's a better idea? OH SOME ZEXY SEX! 

Molly tells Michael she has feelings for Cody. He listens. He says: Yep, you do. Lots of Cody stories. He says she should tell him how she feels. Oh I have a feeling she's going to walk in on Ava and CODY! 

Lulu's vacuuming for Maxie while Spin and the kids are at the hospital. Laura comes by. Lulu says she's scared. They hug. Laura's concerned. Lulu's upset. yada yada. Lulu has coma trauma.They talk about the coma. Bedside coma. 

Jason is meeting that mule chick that dropped the backpack off to Britt. Today he has on a white suit! He talks to her and Britt listens with a gag-face on. Jason says he's a contractor for ELQ. Britt is caught by Gustav listening. He says he asked Greta (mule lady)  to check out Jason because he could be the WSB. 
Jason and Greta leave just when Joss sees them. 

Joss and Vaughn can't find Britt (even tho she's RIGHT THERE). They are dressed like Tennis Dolls today. Vaughn texts Brennan (who's with Carly) and Joss goes to make ONE LAST SWEEP of the resort. 

END: 

Gustov holds Joss at gunpoint. He already has Vaughn.

Britt goes to Jason's room all dressed up fancy

Molly sees Ava and Cody kissing

Kristina flashes back to all her Ava hate and tampering with the brakes

TR Memorial

 OUT TODAY SO PLEASE ENJOY: 

The Dashing Tristan Rogers 

There have been so many tributes to the late TR that it's hard to find something unique to put into words about the actor. If you were around and watching General Hospital in the 1980s, you'll know the impact he had on our viewing. This was years before "Crocodile Dundee" and the whole Aussie craze. This was also the beginning of the 'adventure-spy' genre on soaps. Who can describe seeing a suave, charismatic character like Robert Scorpio and him justice? 

Parry Shen (Brad) wrote about seeing Tristan on his screen when he was 8 years old. He grabbed a book and wrote down "Tristan Rogers" because he loved what he was seeing on screen. It was all so unique. Years later, on set, he told the story to Tristan and asked for his autograph.  Another GH alumni, Lisa LoCicero had talked about being such a fan that when she had a scene with Tristan, she was so star-struck it was hard for her to get through it all. 

You can read more tributes on TV Line including Finola Hughes and Kim McCollough.  

She Knows Soaps has a nice tribute page with tons of information for you to check out as well. 

Tristan has a star on the Palm Springs "Walk of the Stars" in the category of Entertainment and Humanitarian. This was awarded in 2024. 

WUBS Fave Anna/Robert scenes. Sexy and fun. WOW. I remember thinking: This is Daytime TV!!?? Very spicy for the time. 

Anthony Geary left a memorial passage to him and it's available on TV Insider. He compares their duo to "Butch Cassady and The Sundance Kid".  It really was like the ultimate buddy movie but on a soap. Can't describe it unless you saw it! 

I could put up a thousand more photos but I think the best thing to say is have a search on YouTube for some of his best work. We were also blessed that he decided to do one last appearance this summer for us. 

FRAUD

 

It's Wednesday--and I'm here today but not tomorrow so I'll make this a goodie. (hopefully). I have to say that after 3 weeks of NOTHING we are at least seeing some movement and things. Heart attack, killing a guy and throwing him off a cliff, JaBritt reunion, Nina in the pool..And poor Stella with the insurance fraud. 

TODAY: 

Curtis is talking to Alexis about Stella's case and Stella walks in. She's not happy to see Alexis. She thinks having a lawyer makes her look guilty. Alexis says she really should have one. Stella agrees. Stella tells her she did fudge some dates so patients got insurance and Alexis says: Welp, that IS Fraud! Stella goes over the people she helped and when she gets to Drew Cain, Curtis' wheels turn.

Drew is at the pool, taking to Gio who isn't nice to him. He walks off and Drew and Marty discuss the Michael situation. Marty doesn't think his eye is really an 'assault". He realizes Drew just did it as strategy to get Willow back. He tells Martin he's the one that turned Stella in for fraud. 

Michael is at the PCPD with Diane to talk to Turner. Sonny wants to talk to her privately first. He says "you heard Drew say he provoked Michael, Michael is innocent". ADA says she's not sure.Also says she can't go after Michael because she overheard the blackmail. Then Drew comes in and is an ass. WANTS Michael handcuffed. Chase says not one of the 8 people he interviewed saw Michael slug Drew. Drew says someone paid people off or Chase was not correct. Then he says that Martin saw the whole thing. 

Maxie is on a ventilator. Lucas is concerned she's not awake yet. Spin and Lulu hug outside her room. Lucas tells them all her tests look good. Her heart is ok. Blood work is ok. Spin goes in and Lulu goes to tell the kids the update. Spin tells Maxie once she wakes up he wants to marry her. 

Lulu goes to Maxie's house. Emma goes home. When Lulu is walking around, Dr O comes to the door.  She says she'd leave but she wanted to reassure James. Lulu lets her come in. James and Georgie are running around. Georgie lets slip that Mom is in the hospital. James didn't know.

Mac, Felicia and Drew are in the breakroom and Mac can't figure out why Maxie's heart would start failing now. They say she HAS to be ok. Anna then comes in (Cody and Mac are gone) and they talk about Maxie. Crying. 

Mac and Cody have a great talk in the hall outside of Maxie's room. Awww. 

END: 

Lulu thanks Dr O and Dr O says that longer Maxie doesn't wake up the more likely she'll be in a coma. 

Lucas tells everyone that Maxie had some enzyme in her blood. Don't know what it is yet. Anna pulls him aside and wonders if she could have been poisoned. 

Curtis figures out Drew is having Stella investigated.

Marty doesn't sign the witness statement just yet. 

Tuesday THE SHOW!! I'm HERE!

 

I made it here!! It was a good day. The kids were fun. It's DINOSAUR WEEK so..RAWR!! LET'S GO! 

Diane is with Sonny and Michael to talk about the assault against Drew. She says it was a terrible idea and could be bad news. Because he asked Tracey to take Wiley out of the pool area, it may look like it was premeditated. They try to talk strategy. Michael tells them he suspects Willow was the one messing with Daisy but he has no evidence. 

Drew is at GH telling Liz he has to see a doctor NOW. She says, it's not that big of a deal, go to urgent care, this is an EMERGENCY ROOM! He says I might LOSE MY VISION!! She's like, calm it down. You can report it. He's like great, that's what I want. Felicia gives him the forms. 

Carly and Lulu talk at the pool about Dr. O going to the other hotel. Then Nina walks in and Carly screams at her about not telling Willow she slept with Drew. They yell and yell and Carly ends up pushing Nina into the pool. 

Maxie faints. They call 911. The emergency people say she might be having a heart attack. She goes to GH and Felicia sees her, so does Lucas. They do CPR.  Lucy runs in and hugs Felicia. Then Spinelli comes in too.  Brook and Luna get there. Lulu calls Emma to go check on the kids. Spinelli is in shock. Everyone is waiting. 

Maxie is being shocked by Lucas and Liz is in there too. They work on her A LOT. FINALLY she has a pulse!! 

Anna is wondering why Brennan didn't call her. ADA Turner comes in and says she wants to open an investigation into Drew Cain. Anna says "is this a trap"?? Turner says she has reason to believe Drew is doing bad things but can't say why. She almost tells her and Drew busts in saying he wants to press charges against Michael Corinthos. Anna's like: are you kidding? then ADA jumps in and says: YEP let him tell us what happened. I think she's doing this on purpose to trap him. 

Joss and Vaughn are in the shower, they make out big time. Still no chem for me. Sorry. Oh they move to the bed!! I guess this is sexy. Okay. whatever. Then they just get up and talk about the case. Awkward. They decide to talk to Britt asap because the guy they killed will be missed soon. They go to look for her. Oh, they do get dressed first. Oh, wait, THEN they decide not to go until morning. Awkward looks towards the bed. 

Britt and Jason. Jason's suit matches his eyes. He tells her he saw her in Paris. She's like great, now I can't go back there. He asks if she's in danger. They go over their whole relationship and if you want to get the skivvy, watch it. He asks her how she survived the HOOK thing. She asks how HE survived. Jason tells her about becoming an informant. She figures out it was to save CARLY! Always CARLY. The she gets mad, says he doesn't deserve to know what happened to her and she's not going to forgive him for leaving her and marrying Carly. She says she left to spare her family from seeing her suffer. She's in remission now. Jason asks how can that be? Huntington's isn't curable. She says he has no right to know. Then, he tells her the WSB is there and she's in danger. Britt tells him to leave or she'll call security. He's like: DO IT.

END: 

Everyone is happy Maxie is ok. Wondering what could have caused it. The cream? Allergy? Lucy says they all tested it and have used it a lot. Can't be that. 

Michael needs a witness they can use to say Drew went over to Wiley first. 

Carly yells at Nina: You'll never see MY grandchildren again! 

Joss goes to sleep while Vaughn keeps guard. 

Britt throws Jason out and calls someone and says they have a problem-- 

It's Been A WEEK and It's TUESDAY!

 

Yes, I'm still busy with the 2 year olds and yesterday was a trip! They ran around joyfully while I crawled and limped trying to catch them HAHAHA. 

Again, I might be here, I might not!! Who knows. Yesterday I did make it. I think Thursday will be my challenge day. 

A little video for my faithful blog readers: Sandra Elaine Scott, a wonderful children's author and GH lover interviewed me via Zoom about the soap. We had a blast. A couple of things before you watch:

I need better lighting or a better camera. LOL...goodness. I DO LOOK TIRED! YES-- I Do... I'm blaming that on the camera angle :) 

I needed a wiki or something to get dates correct and or some plots/names. It was all spontaneous so forgive me my mistakes. 

Hope you enjoy!  WUBSNET on ZOOM!  

MORE THINGS TO ENTERTAIN YOU!! Check out Critical Diagnosis (Jeff Giles) tribute to Tristan Rogers. 

If you'd like to check out Sandra's wonderful books, go to AMAZON. She's amazing! 

My fave book that I mention--it's worth so much money. It's a great book and there's an audio version on You Tube. 

CHEERS! 

General Announcement==MONDAY I'm here!

 

So this week I'm subbing for 3 days with the 2 year olds. I'm hopeful I will be in one piece to blog on Mon/Tuesday. Thursday is an iffy one because the level of energy in those groups are OUT OF THIS WORLD. 

Here's to me making some live blogging today. If not, you know what to do.  Have a good one and eat ice cream if you can! 

I'm here and ... GUESS WHAT!!? Ryan Pavey is back but NOT AS NATHAN WEST! Yep, TV Line just said so.  TAKE A GANDER:  TV LINE  This on a day when Maxie faints. I think Sidwell will poison her. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Portia and Curtis in bed. They talk about moving forward and how things will be better now. Jordan calls. (I think about Stella).

Sidwell is with Lucy at Wyndemere-- they are all flirty. She tells him she's going to Home and Hearth set. He's like IS MAXIE JONES THERE? Dun dun dun. Lucy and he kiss as Marco comes in. She leaves. 

Home and Heart. Brook talks to Luna about Lois. Maxie is in the make up chair and tells Martin that she might go against everyone and tell about the dirty money. He says there are laws to protect whistleblowers but all the ladies in the company would not be happy and she'd lose them all. 

MORE BROOK AND Luna talk about Gio and Lois. good lord. Then Brook asks Maxie why she was talking to Marty. Lucy wants to know too. Maxie makes up a dumb excuse.  Then Maxie and Lucy go on camera to sell Youth cream. 

Stella talks to the fraud squad at GH. Felicia tells her to get a lawyer. Stella says NO. Ugh! Then Portia and Curtis arrive.  Marty shows up as well. Goes in as her lawyer and they tell him NOPE, you can represent her because you're a person of interest in this too! 

Drew is blackmailing Sonny and ADA Turner overhears. Drew wants Michael to give visitation to Willow now, Sonny has to sell the piers and leave town.  Sonny says no matter what, Willow's not coming back to him. Drew leaves. Turner is like: I can't believe he did that!! Sonny says she can't say anything because she was having dinner with him and it would kill her career. Turner is all sympathy to Sonny-- "those op eds were brutal to you and you are the one getting blackmailed" Oh BROTHER :EYEROLL: 

Then Drew goes to Wyndemere to tell Sidwell about the Sonny situation. He thinks he's go things under control. He wants Michael IN JAIL so Willow gets full custody. Sidwell is like, not so fast. Might not be to our favor. 

THE FIVE POPPIES

Britt runs to her room. Jason stares. He goes to the bar. Britt goes to her room and gets upset. 

Joss shoots the guy in the throat. He's not dying fast so Vaughn puts a pillow over his face. Kills him. Says they are compromised and have to leave. Joss is all yappy and says NO! Britt might tell her what's going on!! Vaughn agrees to stall for 24 hours. They have to get rid of the body over the cliff. Oh they do it in 2 seconds and Joss sees blood on her hands. Pauses. Has to go take a shower. 

END: 

Vaughn goes and sits next to Joss who's fully clothed and losing it in the shower over the dead guy. 

Jason goes into Britt's room stares at her. 

Maxie passes out on the set of Deception

The FBI guys tells Portia that their investigation is coming from "higher up" I think MARTY realizes he told Drew about it. 

Sunday Surgery: Negative Chemistry

 

The Parapet account on BSky (@parapetthoughts) said it best: How can two straight people who look like this have negative chemistry? YEP.  Also see: Brennan and Carly. oooffff. That's how this summer is feeling, isn't it? 

This will be a hard blog because of the news about Tristan's passing. There will be a tribute blog up next week. 

Grab a Foster's to toast with and he's Go GO
