Then they come back and talk MORE about Jason leaving the business. She wonders if he really could if Sonny needed help.  She's like "not sure you can really quit that" . Then she mentions Anna helping her clear Cassius name. BUT don't say ANYTHING-- It's a secret.

Chase thinks she's so selfless ahahahaha. Yuri moves more boxes in. Chase keeps yappin. Willow says they are both outsiders so they will have to watch each other's backs. Chase now helps her take boxes inside. She tells Yuri to go back to the house. Chase is going to help her. :EYEROLL: 

Tracey tells Brook Willow is in the gatehouse. Brook freaks out. Wants Michael there to yell at him and get her out. Tracey says no, it's done, she's moved in. Plus they can keep an eye on her there.

Lucas and Joe banter at the nurses' station about the softball game. You know, chem testing. Lucas got an apartment. Lucy is going to show Joe one this afternoon.

Joe calls and wants to meet Lucy at the apartment. He can e-sign the lease. Oh it's so going to be the same one Lucas has. You wait. 

Serena and Lucy at the pool. Lucy tells her that Michael is single. She wants a romance. Serena thinks they should try another tactic to get Michael's shares. She doesn't have a plan--yet. 

Joss meets Michael at the boathouse, wants help with the situation she's in because of her father. Michael says it's a set up but nothing he can do about it.  She's mad Willow moved in. He wants her to be nice and welcoming. She's like no way. He says he'll help her find someone to run JJE if she does. They agree to help each other.

She tells Hudson where Joss is living and he leaves. Lucas gets the lowdown on the whole JJE/Jax thing from Carly.  Lucas tells her Joss will do the exact opposite that she wants so she should stop pushing. 

END:

Nothing much else happened. 

The End. 

Sunday Surgery: Old Ironsides

 

Another summer week, another lack-luster showing from GH. Sorry but I'm just not feeling it at ALL this quarter. With lack-luster newbies and stories that pop up out of the ground, it's just dull. Worst sin of all for a daytime show!! 

I have some nice chai today for a change. Grab your fave and let's GO GO!!

Kids in the Pool

 

FRIDAY! We are having a giant music fest about a mile from our house this weekend that starts tonight. Fabulous weather, can't wait!! WOOT!! Very Millennial music: Lit, Toadies, Cracker, Guster, My Mourning Jacket--Modest Mouse and Joywave are a few. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Cody in the barn. "I got attacked" (he has a bite mark on his hand. "Horse or Tracey" asks Molly. He said Hades did it. Must miss James. Hades loved James. Molly says so did you. He hopes James gets a good horse in Australia. Molly has an idea for a trip. Going to Savannah for a romance novel fest. Her publicist thinks it's a good idea. 

Michael tells Tracey that Wills is moving into the gatehouse. She's like: DENIED! No way will she let her in there. Michael says it's his idea. Tells Tracey he has something on her. She's like: WELL SUE HER FOR SOLE CUSTODY! Michael wants his kids to have their mother--he didn't like his broken household growing up. Tracey says NOPE NOPE NOPE. Michael asks if his grandmother would have said that. 

Char and Danny are on the boat dock at the Q's. Danny tells her about Drew/Scout and he can't see her. Charlotte says Drew hates him and there's not much he can do about it. She says "when Drew goes Low, you go lower" _-THERE'S A CASSADINE FOR YA! They can make up something about Drew and Danny would get to see Scout. Danny thinks that would hurt Scout. 

At the pool, Scout gets out and is all anxious about her father. Rocco says he took Danny's shift so she should be ok. Scout says he doesn't like Rocco either because his grandpa is Sonny. She also tells him her life was so much easier when Drew was in a wheelchair! She gasps when she says that. Rocco understands. She says he's the only one she can confide in. She loved living with the Davis Girls. He tells her to do what Drew says but then behind his back, do what she wants. LOL They'll meet up alone to "just talk" now and then. 

IN the patio restaurant, Alexis wants to talk about Scout seeing the family. NOPE says Drew. He's SUCH a dick to Alexis. Tells her she's using Sam's death to get access to Scout. Alexis is like: I SHOULD HAVE ACCESS!! He says he doesn't even care that she took her in when he was in the wheelchair. Says Scout hurt her ankle while in her care and hanging around Danny. Also, Alexis badmouths him. Brennan walks in and hears Drew being a jerk to Alexis. He says maybe the ex-congressman shouldn't be making enemies. (Dangling the blackmail in front of him). Drew back-talks him. Brennan wonders if there's anything in Drew's past that might come back to bite him. Alexis is so interested! Drew limps off to go get Scout. Alexis wants Jack to tell her what it is. "Depends on you" he says. 

Carly and Jason. He fixed her car. He also tells her he quit Sonny!! OH! Might open a garage. Carly's surprised. He tells her about talking to Sonny--Jakarta and his choices. Cries a bit. She gets teary too. Steve Burton is doing SO WELL lately, I'm like a fan now. Dang! Carly suggests he work for ELQ. He's like :Um no. She thinks Michael and Ned would appreciate it. 

ADA and Sonny in the love nest. She tells him Sidwell is in Pentonville. Sonny says Yeah I know. She wonders if he's going to kill him in there. Sonny's like: I WOULD NOT! I'm goin' CLEAN! She's not sure she believes him. He's going to buy back his piers and take over Sidwell's legit businesses.  Then she goes ON AND ON about how hard it is to quit and yada yada. Sonny asks if she doesn't want to be seen in public with him as "legit Sonny Corinthos"? Wouldn't make any difference when it came to her job. Wants to keep them a secret

VERDICT DAY

 

So it doesn't look like I missed a lot yesterday. Glad the verdict is today. I think he's found not guilty because it sets up a war between the two. BUT...let's see if I'm right. Soap Central says that Jenz Sidwell shares a cell with someone--so....would that be Curtis?? 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Mostly at the pool so far. 

Rocco and Britt. He's complaining about his mother. Oh, and father. And boring.

Joss is trying to swim. Hudson is blocking her way. Oh geesh, really?  He wants her to pick someone NOW! She's like NOPE! She gets out, he has a towel. Man, he's a bad actor. They talk and talk and--no chemistry or banter or ANYTHING. 

Anna and Emma talk about Gio being too busy lately. He's really busy. She wants to go to vet school. Sad horn. She's going to be jelly of Gio's fan girlies. She gets up to check on Gio. PETER sits down. Talks about Anna getting Britt. Anna goes over to talk to her. 

Marshall and Stella are waiting at home for the verdict. They think a war will start if Curtis is found not guilty. Hey, I said that.

Courtroom:  Curtis, Jordy, Martin, Molly...Trina shows up. Portia sees her hugging Curtis. They go in to hear the verdict. Guilty of 2nd degree assault. Guess he goes to see Sidwell in jail. Trina says goodbye. Oh he has 48 hours before he has to report. 

Portia comes home. Cries and hugs Stella. Curtis comes home, cries, hugs Stella. 

Willow goes to pick up the kids. Michael is all smug. She's like: I JUST GOT A BLOODTEST and I MIGHT File CHARGES! He says "I finally have PROOF YOU SHOT DREW"! He pulls out papers from Trina and Kai--signed. Noterized. She's like: @@  He tells her they were hiding in the bedroom and about the ring tone and yada yada.  She yells. He says that she will do WHAT HE SAYS or... else! She picks up the rolling pin to hit him. He blocks it. Very sexy scenes. He also tells her Jacinda has left the country. Willow asks what he wants. He wants her in the gate house to keep an eye on her, her passport and she can't take the kids to DC lol 

END: 

Curtis says a teary goodbye to Desmond.

Stalker is outside Bobbie's, watches Kai leave

Anna tells Britt she will help her but has to meet in person. Peter says, good now you can eliminate her. 

Young Doctors in Love

 

Who remembers this?

In my opinion, it wasn't that great. I do remember this coming out, and I hoped for some good slapstick and good humor and parody, but it was awful to tell you the truth. Maybe someday I will revisit it and now that I am MORE into General Hospital than I was back then I can appreciate it even more.

From Wikipedia, these are the soap stars that cameo'd on Young Doctors in Love:

Soap actors John Beradino, Emily McLaughlin, Michael Damian, Steven Ford, Chris Robinson, Stuart Damon, Jaime Lyn Bauer, Tom Ligon, Kin Shriner, Janine Turner, and Jacklyn Zeman make cameos, while Susan Lucci, Cynthia Geary, Patrick Macnee and Demi Moore appear in uncredited cameos.

Rumor has it, they are trying to remake Soapdish into a series for Paramount+. It's in limbo right now. With today's writers, it might be good. Soapdish was great. Lots of good lines, etc. I still sometimes quote "trip to the mall" and am amazed when someone recognizes that.

Any comments on either film? Karen here! Dave was kind enough to do this blog because I'm out today frolicking. I saw Soapdish-- LOVED it but have not seen Young Doctors in Love. Who knew Robert Downey Jr was in Soapdish?? Totally forgot that. 

Please leave all comments on today's show in below!! 

See Ya, Blondie

 

So humid today--and I'm NOT GOOD WITH IT lol. Just hate it so much. That's why I will never move south!! Give me the frozen tundra before this!! 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Gio and Emma at the Pool. She wants to go to The Finger Lakes camp she reserved and surprise him. He can't go. Has to practice to meet their first deadline. She understands. Oh he can't go at Thanksgiving either! TOUR! OH! He can't ride bikes today! Practice! 

Lucy and Serena are at the pool too and talk about Michael. Serena doesn't think he's trying to take away Deception from Lucy. Lucy thinks he's ruthless. 

Cody brings flowers to Willow and says congrats, SIDWELL IS IN JAIL. I'm like: ? HUH ? Yep, he took a plea deal to everything, got 31 to life and Molly also found out (in discovery) he was responsible for Maxie's coma. Cody tries to cheer her up. She's sad she cancelled her book tour because of the trial. 

Cody and Molly go to the pool. Lucy wants to introduce Serena to her brother. They meet, exchange numbers. 

In the Metro Patio, Val is having breakfast with Jordan and asks for a favor. "After all I saved your life'. She's like: WHAT? He tells her about being there the night of the crash. She can't believe Curtis didn't tell her. His favor has to do with Sidwell. He wants to buy Wyndemere and maybe his other assets that are good and wants her to tell him which those might be. She says Sidwell's businesses were legal as far as she could tell. He'd like her advice. 

Then Joss and Brennan walk in. He gives the stink eye to Val. Joss tells Jack she wants to be back in the field asap. He says she's not ready mentally yet. She says she is. He says she's killed a lot of people. She's like: MEH. He says no. She tells him well maybe I'll run my DAD'S COMPANY LIKE HE WANTS! So there! Brennan is suspicious that Jac would just leave his company to HER with no business anything. 
Nina calls him and says get to her place NOW.

Willow wakes up on the couch. Wonders why she's there. Nina told her Michael was there when she got home. Michael said Willow was out of it so he stayed with her. Willow says she didn't drink "I MUST HAVE BEEN DRUGGED"! They think it might be Dr3ew. Then they both remember Jacinda was there alone with her coffee. Willow stomps out to get HER KIDS BACK NOWWWWWWW! They can't find the cup and that makes Willow even MORE ANGRY. She runs out.

Jacinda goes to the Q's to see Michael. He tells her that Willow was with Wiley and Amelia and almost drove with them. Jacinda cries. Michael is weirdly calm. He says no harm done but Willow will realize she was drugged and blame him. He did take the cup away but the judge could see a pattern since Jacinda did this before. He says there's a way out but she's not going to like it.  They have to break up and she has to leave town. REALLY? LIKE WE DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING AS SOON AS SERENA ARRIVED ahahhaaha. They are both crying. They say all sorts of gushy stuff. Michael is giving her money to "invest in her future' because she's so great. :eyeroll:
