Diggin' in the Dirt

 

Oh it's MONDAY-- and here we are. I guess it will be all Heather all the time?? Hmmm...

We start out with Carly and Val. He figures that it IS Jack in the grave.  They decide they can't call the cops. Val puts the finger back and they go to leave. Joe is there with a flashlight and is like: You are trespassing! They say they found a body while looking for Outback--and don't know who it is. Joe calls the coroner and forensics. They get there and find the finger. Joe searches them...finds the baggie Val had the finger in ahahaha. Valentin wants a lawyer.

Jason and Danny talk about Sam at the boathouse. They miss her. Danny cries a bit...says Sam might be disappointed in him. Jason says nope. They talk more about Sam, then Danny says he knows for sure Jack Brennan is DEAD. Tells him the story and that Carly and Valentin know. Also about Outback and the finger.

Over at the PCPD, Martin comes in to rep Valentin (yeah!) Carly can't get ahold of Diane.  Martins' like: DUDE you are in TROUBLE! Carly tells Joe to either arrest her or let her go.

Brown Dog: Britt and Jude meet up. It's Halloween in there. They try to banter. If they have a baby the papas would be Jerry Jacks and Faison ahahha. Anyway, they want one more night without knowing each other's names. 

Joss wants info on Jude and Hudson acts like he's never heard of him. He knows about Jerry he says but not Jude. Then Joss tells him Jude is there for Phoebe. She is going to talk to HR about Jude but Hudson talks her out of it and says: Leave it to the morning, let's get out of here.

Joss and Hudson show up at The Brown Dog and see Britt and Jude making out. Britt is flabbergasted. Joss tells him to leave town and he's not getting what he wants. He gets in her face--Hudson tells him to back up.

Alexis goes to talk to Brook and Chase about Phoebe. They want to know who signed the papers saying they were the daddy. She tells them Jude offered a DNA test. Chase says they have a test proving the father is the father--WHO is he? We have to talk to him! Alexis says they'll need a court order to do that. She says she'll try to find him. She also says that they have a court document saying the DNA father turned Phoebe over and Jude can't do anything about that. He'd have to get a court sanctioned DNA test to prove it. Brook says: we can't let that happen! 

AND...of course Heather is at The Cat's Eye bugging Trina. I love her outfit tho. She says she never sent flowers or did a website, she just wanted to get Trina so she could see and talk to her. Say she's sorry. Trina says she'll listen. Heather apologizes, blames everything on her hip and says she got a huge settlement from the company. The judge ruled she wasn't responsible for her actions. They don't care. She bought Wyndemere! Wants to see Liz and Ace...invites the kids to dinner. hahaha. Trina's like stop it. She says she gave a scholarship to PCPU in Trina's name. Trina doesn't want it. 

In a weird scene, Liz comforts a kid wandering the halls of GH and Dante sees her. He gets all mushy looking..  Later he tells her she's amazing. He's at the hospital because he chased a kid that had an egg and the kid tripped and he brought him to the hospital. He hurt his knee a bit.

END: 

Joe arrests Carly and Val after finding out the body is Jack Brennan's

The cops find Charlotte's bracelet on the body

Britt refuses to go to Jude's hotel room

Sunday Surgery: Remains Of The Day

 

As often happens with GH when things come to a head, the writing gets better and the scenes tighter and more complex. This week ended with a fairly nice Halloween episode that was filled with severed limbs, threats and a stalker reveal. 

Eat what you have left over from last night and let's GO GO! 

*I just saw this is my 6,950th post! PHEW!! 

Hallows' Eve

 

WELP, Carly and Val question Danny about the night Brennan died. HE's also worried about Outback who keeps going to the nature preserve and comes back dirty. Danny admits to being at the Metro but says he saw Carly and Val breaking into Drew's room AHAHHAA. He finally tells them he was going to swim with Charlotte and they saw Brennan in the pool. Carly's like: Jack was swimming at NIGHT? Danny says...um...no, Charlotte screamed and he was dead. THEN he said they saw Drew and Ava but they didn't see them.  Val says not to say anything to ANYONE-- and he'll talk with Charlotte because of digital trails and such. 

Outback..digging... hand sticks up outta the grave. 

LATER: OUTBACK COMES INTO THE LIVING ROOM WITH A SEVERED FINGER!!! 

OH! Joss knows that Jerry has a son named Jude!! She never met him but Jax told her to stay away from him because he's just like her Uncle. She's telling Jason all of this. She says Jax told her he cut Jude off and never to talk to him. Jason says Jude is there for Phoebe. He also says Jude must have some proof under his belt to do this.

Lulu and Ric are out to dinner. Ric says Monet isn't dropping the suit. Lulu says she needs to be hired and can't with the lawsuit over her head, they have to win it and soon. Ric leaves. 

Jude wants Alexis to rep him, she's like your father was nasty, so nope. He says Jerry told him that Alexis fought tooth and nail to keep her daughter and he wants her to do the same. She asks where she is--he says The Q's. He says her name is Phoebe. She's like: WHOA, I did the adoption and the bio father signed her over. Jude says I can prove I'm her father. He had Delilah get pregnant because he wanted a baby. She agreed and went to the clinic. He has all the paperwork. Alexis says she has papers that prove otherwise. He says it's NOT ETHAN LOVETT! Says that Ethan is a conman and left with Delilah and he would totally fake the test. Alexis says in order to get another DNA test, Brook and Chase would have to consent to giving the court Phoebe's DNA.

Liz and Dante get THISCLOSE and the doorbell rings. It's trick or treaters. I'm so confused on time. I thought they were going to a party that started at 4pm? Whatever. SO they are going to deliver the cupcakes. Well, Dante is so Liz can answer the door. The have a cute moment and Lucas comes in to keep Liz company. Dante leaves. Lucas wants all the dish. She said they were making cupcakes and she wanted him to kiss her at one point. They dish about Dante vs Ric. Ric comes over and Liz kisses him HARD.

Over at the Cat's Eye, the owner tells the kids that ONE person bought out the entire club to hear them sing. Gio says they never agreed to that. Patti says they have a contract-- they have to do it. Trina and Emma say ok, let's do it. They tell the guys about trying to find the sender of the flowers and that they also found a website dedicated to her. Emma thinks she should have done more. Gio says he should perform himself. Trina wants to find out who this person is. They sing that same song they've been singing. And Singing.

Dante tries to talk Lulu into retracting her story. She says nope. 

END: 

Heather shows up at Trina's venue all dressed up and clapping

Carly ends up falling on Jack's hand in the grave

G'DAY!

 

Hahahaaha! This was on General Hospital Fans over on Facebook. I LOVES IT!! 

YESTERDAY'S SHOW: 

Geesh, Willow does as much work as a real congress person, which is zero. LOL 

LOVE MAURA AND NANCY! Great scenes!

Deception stuff: DO NOT CARE. 

Chase is the most IGNORANT weenie on soaps...in almost EVER. Good GOD. I can NOT WAIT until it comes out. Can NOT WAIT. 

Jude showing up at the Q door? We'll see where it goes. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

JUDE JACK'S FATHER IS JERRY JACKS!!!!!!! He wants his daughter Phoebe! He rushes past Brook and Jason and Tracey come out. He says HI! I'm Jude Jacks, Jerry's son!! I'm here to see my daughter! They look stunned. He explains he knew Deliah was pregnant and looked for her. Found out about Port Charles and her death and that Phoebe survived. Brook says they adopted her. He says it's not legal, he never signed anything. He wants to see her--now. Jason tells him to get out. Jude says fine, but I AM her father and I WILL be back. Leaves. Brook freaks out. Says he can't take her! Runs upstairs. Rocks Phoebe WHO IS DIFFERENT AND HAS A LOTTA HAIR NOW! GEESH! 

Jason says to Tracey: If he IS Jerry's son, he could be big trouble.!! Tracey says the real father already took the test and it matched. Jason says he can't believe a Jacks would make a claim without proof.

Chase visits Willow because he found a football of Wylie's. They talk about his divorce. He says how innocent she is with the whole "drugging Drew" story. Says Monet is a good lawyer and the truth will come out. He wants to find a house (he's at the Metro) and Willow says she's been researching places. 

Dante and Liz are baking cupcakes. Dante wants to make real frosting. Oh some are gluten free so be happy. She gets the timing wrong and they will be late for the party. Dante giggles. They talk about Aidan leaving and she raised strong, independent boys. They talk about the article. Dante says he's sorry Lulu snuck in to talk to Sidwell. Liz says she got into some sticky trouble with it.

Valentin is in therapy with Anna and Dr. Nichols. They are going to begin a session. They hem and haw. The whole backstory of Anna going after Faison in WSB school days is discussed. Anna is very defensive and Valentin reminds her of some things she's forgotten like she went after Faison on her own, not with WSB blessing. She's saying that she used Valentin's feelings for her to her advantage. She also knew he had physical limitations and he wouldn't be competition for her in the field. She COULD use his intellect, however.  Val says she was a teen. She says not to make excuses for her. She was hiding behind a false memory of being assigned Faison when she went after him on her own. Val points out if she keeps this up Faison still has a hold on her and he's dead and gone. Makes her admit it wasn't her fault. WATCH IT IT'S GOOD!!!!!!! Finola is amazing as per usual. 

Joe is in Carly's office with questions about Brennan. He wants to know if the security system goes out a lot. She says no, someone put a virus in there -- and no one has access but the security co, her staff and her and Olivia. She was in the hotel that night (flashback to her and Val searching Brennan's room). She says she called Jason who found the virus. Then they looked for Brennan because he was someone that could have done it but they didn't find him. He asks if she was angry he got Joss into the WSB-- she's like where is this going? Tells him to talk to her lawyer. When he leaves, she calls security to get all of the footage from August 31st. She sees something and says: OH MY GOD

Ric is talking to Alexis about the Lulu case and that Monet shouldn't be repping Willow. They both know she's guilty. He keeps on about them dropping the case or at least having Willow find another firm to rep her. They keep talking about it.. in circles really. Then he drops he's coming to Cody and Molly's thanksgiving with Liz. Alexis is like: Oh Greaaaaaaat. 

END: 

Brook goes into the gatehouse to tell Chase about Jude coming after Phoebe

Dante and Liz get close when he gets frosting off her cheek. 

Val and Anna say that they'll always carry a part of each other with them. 

Carly calls Valentin to tell him that Charlotte and Danny were at the Metro the night Brennan disappeared. 

GOOD SHOW TODAY!!!!! and I haven't said that in a long time 

The Offspring

 

Oh our poor Elizabeth... what is happening? Here she is...a MAJOR LEGACY character from a MAJOR LEGACY FAMILY and---?? Her THREE BOYS, all of 'age' for ripe soapy drama are off canvas!! Cameron went to college in California years ago and I know that William Lipon left for college himself but a recast could be done easily. Hudson West recently said he didn't want to leave the show but Jake was written off. Why?? WHY WHY!? Danny and Jake would have a natural rivalry, correct? Or at least brotherly strife. Jason juggling two kids would be another bonus. 

Then there's Aidan. Son of Liz and Lucky, (who should have been named Lenny or another L name) he could have been SO much if left in Port Charles. He came out as gay which was never really explored and was tossed to the side pretty fast. Then his baking came to the forefront and I was hoping he'd be on canvas more doing things around town or maybe for The Metro. (a little internship in the pastry dept) BUT NOPE!! The biggest miss was his recasting in 2024 with someone who looked way older than he should for the part. When I looked back, Aidan was last seen in June of 2025. This is a travesty! He would be around the same age (by soapy standards) as Rocco, Danny and Char. Makes Zero sense. 

What do you think? Don't we need Liz' family up front and center? The Dante friendship/something more would also fit right in there. Why the heck send the last one left to Europe? Ugh. 

Yes, I'm out today. I'm seeing the Elizabeth Holmes documentary and it's three freaking hours long so it interrupts my GH vieweing!!
You know what to do--- let me know what's happening in the comments and weigh in on your own Elizabeth thoughts! 

                                                                       CHEERS!! 

K-I-S-S-I-N-G

 
Well, I'm here today and out tomorrow because I'm seeing the Elizabeth Holmes Documentary and it's like three hours sooooo.... BUT I have some really interesting filler for you waiting! 

I had to put these here because OMG THEY ARE FANTASTIC! So low in carbs too. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Sonny goes to Alexis' office. He's tired of waiting for her to come to see him.  He wonders if she wants to know if he did the beatings or not. She says NOPE I do not want to know. She doesn't know if she can believe him and they only way to be in each other's lives is if she doesn't think about it. She HOPES he's innocent. He says he'll accept that. Good Sexis scenes. 

Danny freaks out when he sees Rocco kissing Scout. Grabs Rocco, hauls him against the wall. Scout says it's all okay. Danny says that she's too young to know who she likes and Rocco is taking advantage of her. Rocco yells at Danny.  Scout gets all drama, says they 'only have each other' and Rocco isn't using her or taking advantage. Then Drew texts her and she runs out.  Danny tells Rocco that he and Scout are basically related. Rocco is like NOPE. Danny says we grew up together! Rocco says they mean a lot to each other. Danny says it's not happening...no way.  Wants to tell Drew but Rocco says that he'll ship her to boarding school. Danny says: JUST LIKE VALENTIN DID TO CHARLOTTE! 

Baines talks to Dante about Lulu's article and Brennan's disappearance. They talk about Brennan and Nina being arrested. This whole thing was about Baines telling Dante to have the PCPD stay in their own lane. Which.. okay? Weird scene. Then Joe walks in and wants to open the Brennan case. Wants to pursue it on his own and look at Ava Jerome. 

Portia tells Drew she'll never trust him again. They go around and around. She reminds him what he did to her and yada yada. He says her anger shouldn't make it so she doesn't help Curtis stay out of jail. He mentions Kevin Buchanan again!! She walks away. 

Ava asks Lucas to 'put in a good word' with Joe about her. She's afraid the PCPD is circling her about Brennan. Lucas is like: Um, I don't think Joe even knows. She still wants him to put in a good word. He says he'll keep an ear out if he talks about her.  Baines comes over when she's done and says they need to ask her questions about the last people that saw Brennan. Witnesses saw her with him at The Metro. Portia comes over and tells Baines to move along and not conduct business at GH. He leaves. Ava tells her that she had a drink with Brennan the last night he was seen. Portia says she should be worried about Drew more. Ava thinks back to them talking about the Sidwell beating and Curtis getting in the way. 

Lucas grabs Joe to talk to him about his Aunt Ava. "don't believe everything you hear". He talks about her and rambles on and on. JOE says the fact she went to Lucas about this is a red flag. 

Gio goes to visit Curtis. Asks if he would consider that maybe Sonny didn't order the beating on him and Sidwell. Curtis says no it was Sonny but he admires Gio for being loyal. He won't mention to Trina that Gio visited him. They talk about the music business. Boring.

Gio goes to see Dante and they talk about Sonny. He brings up that Sonny may have been framed. Dante says follow the evidence. 

Drew meets Scout at Cafe Cherie. She's all out of breath and nervous. They talk about Sam's death date coming up. She hates Halloween now. Talks about that night and trick or treating. She feels like she's in a nightmare and might wake up. Then cries and says she's never coming back. Drew gets all teary. 

END: 
Ava calls in a favor from Alexis

Baines goes to see Nina and says they may have rushed to judgement. 

Danny tells Rocco to stop seeing Scout or he's telling Drew

Joe tells Lucas Ava was the last person seen with Brennan

Fake OUT

 

I'm back! I watched MOST of the last two shows but not all--I admit I was too busy. I saw what I needed to though. I don't think I missed a huge amount! Right?? 

LET'S GO! 

Danny is mucking out stalls. Jason is proud. Wants to know if Rocco can help. Then he gets a call that Drew snuck on to the property and has to leave. Rocco comes in, Danny asks him about the chores. Rocco doesn't know about them. Danny's like talk to your Dad, they set us up. Then Scout walks in. Danny thinks she's there to see him but she's really meeting Rocco. lol. Danny says your DAD IS HERE! Rocco tells her to stay in the stalls, Drew won't go there. Danny agrees then goes to shut the gate. Scout and Rocco talk about their feelings and yada yad. Rocco says he heard Drew might send her to boarding school. 

Monet stops by GH and tells Curtis he's going back to Pentonville tomorrow. Curtis isn't happy but she's trying to get him out. He says Sonny's getting away with almost murdering 2 people. Later, Drew comes in. Monet lays out the PR she wants about Curtis being a hero. He says great idea but Aurora can't do it. He was CEO and Jordan is in there now. Plus, He's going through at lawsuit. He knows Kevin Buccanan!! and he has The Banner and will help! Yeah OLTL! 

Carly and Val are having dinner at The Cafe Cherie.  They talk about Charlotte. Lulu stops by, and says she's getting one word answers from her texts. Valentin says well, she's talking to Carly!  Lulu loses it and demands to see the texts. Carly's like: NOPE I don't even let HIM see them! They argue and then Tracey comes in and grabs Lulu. Val and Carly go back to talking about how Charlotte is ghosting Valentin. He pouts. 

Lulu and Tracey talk about the lawsuit. Tracey is sure Ric can win for her. Lulu's worried. Tracey says she has to ask Valentin and Carly for help about the drug the WSB used. They might know. Lulu goes over to talk to them. She asks about a drug existing and if Val knows anyone at the WSB that could say it does. Valentine says, I'll ask around. She leaves. Carly says: welp, I know it exists and so do you! You saw Nina inject Brennan. Valentin talks about trying to get evidence and getting Nina off the hook at the same time.

 Drew comes over to Willow's. She's not happy. .He says they have to unite against Lulu's article. Put out a joint statement. Then Jason walks in. Drew asks him if he's the new Q guard dog. Calls him a psychopath just like Sonny and Danny. Then he leaves.  Jason tells Willow well, I heard you talking about a deal. She says she's going to fight however she can. 

Brook and Chase are at the lawyers or judges office and he's like: HEY you two still seem to be in love. You really want to sign? Chase says no...Brook says no.  THEN Brook says they have to ..too much has happened. Chase says the trust is broken. THEN THEY SIGN. Oh.. FAKE OUT.  They say they'll share custody 50-50. Then Chase walks out--they will take separate flights. Brook sits on the plane, cries. Flashes back to engagement.

Sad Chase walks along a beach (fake) with his shoes off. Sits, looks at his ring. Cries. Flashes back

END: 

Carly and Val are going to find out what happened to Brennan

Danny sees Rocco and Scout make out. 

TONS OF BROOK CHASE FLASHBACKS. They both take off their rings. Chase buries his in the sand. I don't think Brook can let go of that rock she has lol
