Singin' in ROCHESTER

 

Not much to say about today except Happy September!!  To me, it's always been the 'new year' because of the school calendar. So.. HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

TODAY'S SHOW

Looks like we are starting Sept with a body! Too bad I just started to like Jack...FIGURES. :Eyeroll: 

Kids find Brennan. Danny turns him over. They jump out of the pool "he's dead". AHAHAHA they don't even TRY to do CPR. GEESH. Danny wants to run. Char wants to call 911. He's like nope, I'm not getting in trouble for this. They leave. I guess the cameras being off will help that situation but they didn't know they were off. Oh, and they STOLE CHASES' truck for some damn reason-- and he put a ding in it. This is bizarre.

In a weird move, Ric has to talk to LULU about going with Liz and Portia and Isaiah to see Trina tonight?? WHAAT. Oh yes, he's intimidated by 'talking to medical professionals".  She says "be yourself" ..he's like 55 right? Anyway, Dante comes along and Ric leaves. Dante is concerned about Rocco.  Same convo as he had with Britt the other day. 

Scout and Rocco are at the boathouse talking about the DEBATE CLUB. 

Then ALL the kids are at the boathouse. Danny tells them he took Chases' truck. Scout goes nuts. He says whatever, Drew will always hate him. Then they argue about her father. Char calls him a jerk that gets off on hurting people. Rocco knocks Charlotte's Dad. Scout cries and runs. Rocco follows her.

Liz meets Isaiah and Portia at the Metro and they are going to go see Trina perform. They have wine and appetizers first. Ric comes in. Says hi. They talk about softball and Liz having pointers from Dante. They sure aren't hurrying to Trina's gig that's for sure.

The CAT'S EYE LOUNGE looks Lisa Frank. Simon is there. What a terrible actor. Joss shows up. Then Hudson because she invited him. THE CAT'S EYE IS IN ROCHESTER PEOPLE!! Hudson thinks it's dumb to meet in a lounge. They try to banter but--oofff..

Emma and Kai show up in "Trino" tshirts. Quinn comes along so both Simon and him are calling Trina "the star" ..  Simon tells Kai not to ruin Trina's chances.  Gio thanks Brook for helping him out with his music. Then Trina sings and Gio plays. Slow Song. Everyone loves it. Then Gio and she sing a duet. Everyone loves it. 

Carly finds out the security system was tampered with. She calls Jason to help fix it because the company will take awhile. HE says it's a virus and Brick or Spin can fix it. Who could want the cameras off? To do what? She thinks to target the WSB chief. She wants to run to Brennan's room to search it. 

Ava urges Drew to hurry up. She leaves. Drew finally goes but he's empty handed. They go to the pool area. See Jack floating. Ava says she's the last one seen with him. They can't let an autopsy go on. Drew goes into the pool to get the body. Then Ava gets in. They haul Jack's body into a laundry cart. 

END: 
They are going to put Jack in Drew's trunk and dump his body somewhere. 

The gang of 4 are having a blast but no sign of going to watch Trina

Both Quinn and Tristan are gone and at the end, someone is shown cutting out photos of Trina for the board. 

Charlotte lost her bracelet and it's caught in Jack's sleeve. 

Dunkeroo

 

It's time for another MONDAY!! ... YEP. Here we are, the last day of AUGUST.  OY! 

So some recast is coming soon according to Steve Burton...but not someone on canvas. Most ppl are speculating Jerry or Jasper Jacks. Hmmmm..

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Jack is going to leave but Ava tells him his drink is there and she has a warning for him. She wants to tell him about Nina and her whole past so he can understand her better. He sits and drinks the spiked drink. She tells him about Nina/Willow/Madeline. He's getting hot and loosens his tie.

Laura, Drew and Sonny talk about how much they hate each other. M'kay. Laura wants one to step away from the pier thing. Drew says NOPE. Sonny says NOPE. They exchange words. Drew finally leaves. 

Drew goes into Carly's office to override security. He has 2.30 minutes to get into Jack's office. He runs out of there...

Meanwhile Jack is in the elevator going up to his office but is looking ill. Ava tries to text Drew but he doesn't see it. 

Dante and Britt talking in the Patio restaurant about Rocco. HE's been distant lately. Has he confided in Britt? Britt says no and gives Dante teen 101 advice. He thanks her, she leaves.

Carly and Val make out in her office, she has to go after getting a phone call. Drew had a package delivered to his new Aurora office and she's going to use the opportunity to get in there and snoop. Valentin finds a false door and an envelope that can help them.

OH! Char and Danny want to get into Drew's office to snoop around too. They start breaking in when Carly and Val roll up so they hide. Charlotte has another plan and they leave. She wants one last swim. 

Boathouse stupidity: Chase and Willow. :eyeroll: Still dancing around things. Chase says nothing will ever happen between them and he loves Phoebe and Brook BUT!! Willow needs a friend. Oh brother. They keep talking. Chase finally leaves. We see that Rocco and Scout have been listening the whole time. Scout thinks maybe Willow's been in wub with Chase since she's been with her father. Rocco isn't so sure. Well, Scout is! 

Back at the Metro:

Willow sits with Britt to have a drink

Chase sits with Dante to have a drink. He thinks Willow might be in love with him but he still wants to help her.

OH WOW, guess what? Curtis and Sidwell are roomies. I will not be good with prison chatter in one room for the duration of this. It echoes. they don't have desks or blankets or a toilet. 

END: 

Ava goes to get Drew out of Brennan's room

Carly and Val find stuff about Drew wanting the piers 

Charlotte finds Brennan in the pool. Floating face down

Sunday Surgery: Movin' On Up

 

I thought maybe if I looked at this week's GH as a sitcom, it all would fall into place. The Joe/Lucas situation is VERY "Three's Company" with the misunderstandings and cheeky dialog. So, perhaps THAT'S what the direction of the show is. Multi-camera comedy?? Maybe? 

Either way we have to get through the week so grab what you got and let's GO GO: 

Save Yourself

 

IT'S A FRIDAY--and..... will we GET a Friday??!! Hmm... We shall see! It's been awhile since we've gotten a really decent one, that's for sure. I'm really tired today so I hope I make it. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

It's the next day. Bunch of people meeting for tete-te around town. 

Q BOATHOUSE: 

ANOTHER stupid Chase is 'shirtless' and runs into Willow.  :EYEROLL: He picks up the croquet set she dropped. She whines to Chase the whole show about how everyone is mean to her, especially Michael. He asks if Michael made her move into the gate house. She's like YEP

POOL: 

Ava and Nina talking about Sonny and how mean he is. Nina tells Ava she shouldn't mess with Sonny. Ava doesn't care. 

Serena and Michael. She is in her bathing suit. They are talking about a new direction for Deception. Glass refillable bottles. She tells him to take off his shirt because they are at a pool. He does. Nina comes over and says snotty things and also calls Serena "another hooker" pffft. Serena tells her who she is and she's running part of Deception now.

METRO: 

Laura and Sonny. He tells her he's quitting the business. She's like: you can? He says yes because Jenz is in jail. Hey, makes no sense to me but whatever. Talks about the piers and Drew's out to get him. He might even use their grandson to do it. Laura is APPALLED! Wants Sonny to keep the peace while she's gone.

Martin and Drew. Marty gives him a zip drive that can corrupt any system, any where. Drew says he's going after Brennan first, then Sonny. Marty's like why Sonny. Drew sees him as the link with all his enemies. 

Then Ava and Drew meet. He tells her the plan to have a drink with Jack--he even has a PILL to give him to 'slow him down'. She's like NO WAY. He manipulates her with Sonny talk and she takes it. It's only a generic sleeping pill btw. She takes it, crushes it up. Meets with Brennan at another table. 

Jordan and Anna--talk about the damn accident. Curtis didn't take the plea because he needed someone to blame. They keep talking about it. anddd talking about it. 

In Carly's OFFICE, Val and Brennan are there with her.  Carly tells Brennan she figured out the WSB wants Joss to run JJE. He doesn't disagree. He tells Carly to stay out of this because Joss has a job to do. They blab about Carly being with Valentin. Jack says he'll always pick Anna over you anyway...and leaves. Carly says she gets Anna and Val's connection because she has that with Jason. 

JAIL: 

The warden is VERY concerned about Curtis and being in gen pop. He might get hurt and might not get parole in 2 years. WHY DOES HE CARE. Says Curtis has a clean record-- people might take advantage of his money thru Aurora? Then Says he's going to be in "special housing' with another high profile prisoner (I'm assuming Sidwell) to protect him. 

END: 

Curtis looks up in his cell and says: YOU? 

Ava dumps the pill powder into Brennan's drink

Laura wants Sonny/Drew to talk and make peace--ergo he can't go get the files 

BBQ Day

 HELLOOOOOOO

Another warm summer day!! Feels like August is slipping away, doesn't it? I wonder how long the Metro Court Pool will last? 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Molly and ADA meet to go over some things at Molly's. ADA says Donna invited her to Sonny's for Dinner. Molly doesn't know it's a BBQ..and neither goes ADA. She won't want to be there around all those people. Leaves. Then CHASE comes over to talk about that damn accident again and ..yada yada. He wants to find out who was driving the other car. Thinks back to Brook telling him that she framed Willow. 

BBQ Day. People are there--and Ava comes in to drop off Avery's backpack (So far we haven't seen her) she makes a joke about 'it's not time for her to wear make up but she wants to" and SONNY says: You bought her that SKANK OF CLOTH TO WEAR!!!! Ava's like it's a dress!! THEN he says she's a CANCER IN AVERY'S LIFE!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAATH THE FK? OMG SO MEAN. He says she should leave, no one in the family likes her. This is STUPID AND IT'S just to drive the story with Drew. Liz arrives with Liz and Liz talks to him about his knee. Ric is jelly as usual. Rocco says he has to leave and feed the horses. (NOT) 
Liz Dante-- Liz gets ketchup off his face, Ric sees it but is cool about it. 

Drew and Scout talk at the pool. That girl is always swimming. Drew can't eat dinner with her. She's bummed. Ava comes in to talk to Drew. Bitches about Sonny yada  yada.  He wants to get the stuff back from Brennan by breaking into his hotel room and needs Ava to help distract him. (The evidence of money tampering ) 

Scout texted Rocco to come and meet her at the boathouse. She wants to crab about her father. Rocco is nice to her. Oh such chem testing. He's going to go find a corn hole game in the gate house.

Kai and Trina talk in her apartment. Trina freaks out and thinks Willow will blame Kai for the shooting. He says Alexis will protect them.

Alexis is still talking to Willow about her shooting Drew. She knows about the phone call and should have said something in January and Wills would be in jail. She says if anything happens to Kai/Tri she'll go public with everything she knows and it will destroy Willow. Willow cries about Drew manipulating her and then Michael with the having to move into the gate house. She cries. Says Alexis should know being a Cassadine what having powerful relatives can drive a person to. Alexis says it's been Willow's own choices that have been awful.  

END: 

Cornhole at Sonny's 
Cornhole at the Q's boathouse on LAKE ONTARIO

and... that's about it. Oh Alexis calls Willlow a monster before leaving

Everyone is Eating

 RIP Tim Curry... I didn't mention Dolly yesterday. They were 2 of the greats. I mean-- Dolly fking Parton??????? ICON and just the most giving person ever. 

Sucks this week. 

YESTERDAY'S SHOW: 

OMG how ADORABLE are Dante and Liz? Squeeeeeeeee. LOVE Becky and Dom. 

Ric and Lulu-- hmmm.. kinda weird to have another scene with them. 

Dr O and her Schnapps. LOVE HER TOO. 

Jarly: Can we talk about something else. BUT I like Jason sticking up for Josslyn. 

This Anna story is insufferable but BUT-- FINOLA is killing it. It's HUGE drama for her and she's doing a great job. Such a good actress. Valentin in this role is good. 

WHY would JOSS meet that guy at the BOATHOUSE? 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Let's see how we do today, shall we? 

Michael goes to Sonny/Donna's BBQ. The kids aren't coming because it's WILLOW'S DAY. But we see Willow later and No kids to be found. Okay.. whatever. Sonny goes off on how much he hates Ava. :EYEROLL: 

Joss tells Carly she's taking the CEO Job for her Dad's sake. Carly thinks she lying about why.  Carly thinks the WSB is involved. Carly finally accepts the fact. They hug. Joss leaves 

Pool: Gio, Trina and Emma. Trina's on vocal rest after her session this morning. She does talk to say that she's writing a song about her Dad. Then Joss comes in and tells them she's running JJE. Emma can't believe that Joss could get out of the WSB and her Gram couldn't. 

Drew and Jordan meet about Aurora. She says don't even ASK her about her personal life. She's not discussing it. They talk about Michael. It's a NOTHING convo.

Felicia and Brennan. Felicia is not giving him any info on Anna. Nope. She says he's a bad person and leaves. He gets a text from Nina that she's coming to the restaurant.

Felicia goes to Carly and asks about Jack. Carly says she hates the WSB and he recruited Josslyn. They talk about how bad the WSB. 

Isaiah and Tristan. Tristan tells tells Isaiah he was in the WSB. 

Nina wants to go the Hamptons. Willow likes the idea but no way is Jack Brennan going. She plays the recording she has of him for Nina. Says if she goes down, so will he. Nina says that's too dangerous, delete it. Willow says NO WAY. Nina says YES. WILLOW SAYS NO! 

Nina talks with Jack, said he shouldn't have made Willow angry. He says Willow's a psycho and Nina should watch it. 

Kai tells Alexis that Willow is threatening him. He tells her he went to resign and Willow is trying to pin the shooting on HIM. Also he thinks she tried to kill Drew again. Kai is also afraid because Willow has her sights set on Trina too. Alexis says he has protection in telling her and she has notes from before. Stay clear of Willow is her advice. 

END: 
Nina threatens Jack and Carly plus the entire restaurant hears it

Donna tells Michael she invited the ADA because she makes "daddy smile"

Alexis stomps into the tell Willow she knows she shot Drew and she's not being quiet any longer (that was the only decent scene all day)

Happy Birthday Karen! (Tuesday's Blog)

Happy Birthday to the WubQueen! I hope it is a great, relaxing and yet eventful day for you. To celebrate, I grabbed some photos of you through the years to reminisce. Everyone take a look…

Here is a young Karen with baby Alberta. She’s right at home in her very groovy Brady Bunch inspired '70s living room.

In her early 20s, she was ready to watch her very first episode of General Hospital. I hope the episode was nice and “wubsy”.

Ready to write her first blog. She was just a “WubPrincess” then. (notice the tiara?) Many of the bullet points back then still hold true today.

When you are subjected to one of Dave’s silly, nonsensical “filler” blogs, you can rest assured that Karen is probably at the salon getting her hair done. Wait… is that her favorite GH actor on the TV screen behind her?

Enjoying her retirement, Karen can often be seen afternoons in the park with her beloved Tillie. Here she is grabbing an iced tea and writing this week’s Sunday Surgery.

And finally…

A rarely seen photo of Karen on vacation in Port Charles. “Why am I the only person in this town wearing a coat in the dead of winter?” she asks. I hope she stopped by Bobbie’s for a BLT and a bowl of chili.

Well, that’s it. A brief walk down memory lane. Wishing Karen the best of days and thanking her for all her hard work and dedication keeping this blog running for us.

PS. This is the blog for Tuesday. Please leave your comments below.
