Yes, when isn't my blog my "opinion"?? LOL. I put that up there so people know I STILL LOVE THE Show even though I'm about to go on an all out bitch fest over what's happened to AJ.
It's Saturday, I have a TON of reports to do for work, so when better to obsess over a soap? ahaha. :)
So...back in the day, I was an AJ fan. Jason got all the glory and AJ got all the sheeze. I really liked Billy Warlock in the role, and although I missed SK, I embraced the recast. Guza and Co proceeded to turn the poor boy into..well:
A laughing stock
Drunken loser
A punching bag
Kind of a whimp
A guy that women married for money or fraud.
When they put AJ on a meat hook that was it for me. Instead of making him a worthy adversary for Jason he became a joke. Then, he died and went away.
BUT!!! A new regime came on and suddenly --just when Jason is gone, AJ emerges as if from a cocoon (see how I used fancy imagery there?) AND HE'S SEAN KANAN!! The first AJ... and hopefully now the AJ that could have been. Ruthless business man, having Alan's edge and lady-killer ways. He was sober for a bazillion years in treatment! yeah!!
So, AJ comes back, bonds with his SON Michael and starts to reclaim the Q enterprise. Hell,we even get the Q offices!!! He sees Liz!! Liz, who used to hate AJ-- they start something together. That lasted a hot minute.
And then...everything starts to go wrong. I'm going to be honest here-- I had to think awhile as to WHY AJ was so mad at Connie he went in to strangle her. Even went to wikipedia. I watch the show daily and it seems like so long ago and so insignificant I didn't even burn it in my brain!
SO...that happened Then the shooting and the "AJ" initials drawn in blood on Connie's white dress.
Then?
Nothing... it was like a "commercial break" that stretched over months and months.
YAWN
YAWN
Finally...AJ comes back and has a trial we really don't care a lot about at this point. He gets found not guilty and instead of celebrating like a true ruthless Quartermaine HE FEELS SHAME and drinks.
And drinks..and...remembers a little then we don't see him for weeks. The elevator doors opened and SK went on a vacation? What?
Finally:
He does remember--and has the key to the real killing and, instead of empowering him, it turns him into a further mess. He talks to a dead Connie. Who basically says not a hella lot.
NOW what? Does he get one over on Ava? Finally win a battle ONCE in his life? No...
he gets SHOT! by Sonny!
*sigh*
what a mess. AJ's the screw up that "made Sonny shoot him" by going after Ava.
By the way..when's the last time we saw the ELQ offices? (go ahead, take awhile) ... and Michael? Well, he's not turning into a junior business man, naw...he's "running" Sonny's Italian restaurant.
Well, no, actually.. instead of say, having Michael in the Q house and Morgan in the Corinthos' grasp.. Michael is stuck fighting with Kiki over FRANCO!
What the hell!? Come on.. there was so much potential. Such a waste. Why they didn't just let AJ flatline is beyond me. I'm sure he's being saved to carve up later on some platter to St. Jasus' memory or Sonny's lingering paranoid feud with him. NOTE: I need to see that moment when Sonny realizes "AJ" meant Ava Jerome. I NEED that Moment, and I'd better get it!!
GH's bloated cast is part of this problem. There's so much rotation that really important core stuff gets lost in the shuffle. And in the process, makes me not care. YAWN
Poor AJ. We hardly knew ye.
Um, figured it out..those are a PILE OF COFFEE bags under that sign. Burlap coffee bags. It's NOT my Badger!! :stompingfoot: Some of you are attached to Couples, I am attached to props. LMAO.
Anyway, I am at an Apraxia Workshop tomorrow..it promises to be just SO GLAMOROUS!! SO SO exciting!
I won't be back for GH...have at it. Let me know what's what.
Have a great Friday. It's supposed to be 40 here (it was MINUS NINE this morning). I won't know what to do when it's that warm!!! wow.
She's not Frozen in Scarsdale! NO SIR@@!!!
has an engagement ring for "Tracey"...NOT Spanky, btw...he's such a POD or such an impostor. The engagement ring looks like Princess Diana's.
Tracy finally says YES!!
Julian calls Alexis from Anna's office. Anna's office has a little lounge in it!! With Union Jack pillows!
Michael runs in and yells 'SAVE MY FATHER"! He and Morgan hug.
Liz told Ric about AJ. Ric holds her hand.
Sonny's acting like a guilty man! He's just about crying talking to Shaun begging for an alibi. That apt building should have security tape-- but you know GH. LOL
"I made a promise to Michael I would not hurt AJ"!! he tears up. Says Michael can never know. sniff.
Molly is mouthy to her Mama...big time. Then TJ comes over after Alexis leaves.
END: AJ is wheeled into Surgery and can't tell Michael who shot him.
Scarsdale!!! If you're older like me, you remember this. It was all over the news back then. Scarsdale. Scarsdale. Scarsdale. Now, that's where Robin is. Which is pretty close to PC compared to say, Cassadine Island or somewhere in the Baltic Sea.
Siam..so boring. You know it's Donna Mills watching them. Or a Squirrel? Maybe a PI?
Michael wants to know where AJ Is. Tracy wants to know where Luke is. Luke comes in. Lies about seeing Sonny. HE says he got a "haircut and a shave"
He's so not Luke, imo.
Ava tells Sonny to leave, they clean off the prints. Sonny's all upset. "Why did he make me shoot him"??
LOL...
Julian finds AJ.. with the gun next to him. He touches it. Anna and West burst in and see Julian with a gun. Anna thinks Julian shot him. Ava used Julian's gun!!
Um, all Anna has to do is check for gunshot residue on Julian's hands.
Liz and Ric..any Liz/Ric fans out there? He's still got that velvet blazer on..
AJ is rushed in-- Liz has to tell Michael.
READ THIS in the LA Times about a soap opera murder,that came from General Hospital PEN PALS!!Spookay!
Of GH's 50th..made by a Liason Fan..but also contains JaSam footage!! Labor of WUB...
Monica got the painting from Leslie while playing BRIDGE with AUDREY and Gail?? Damn it! We need to see that !! Don't just tell us!!
Nina's hospital bed is empty...good lord, this is NEVER GOING TO END..and I don't care about it at alL!!
Robin ends up in Scarsdale? Right after Siam leave. Okay--- she sees 'Jason'...he's in a freezer.
Obrect thinks she knows that Anna/Robert killed Faison. I want to know how Anna doesn't know Victor is head of the WSB.. I mean, seriously. She took a call saying Obrect got her job because of the WSB- wouldn't law enforcement people KNOW this sort of thing?! I guess that She and Robert aren't privvy. Obrect thinks she killed Faison. Anna toys with her saying "maybe I DID kill him"...Maybe he SUFFERED! Then O lets go that maybe she has something to do with Robin leaving. Anna shoves everything off her desk.
AJ and AVA..she doesn't manage to shoot him, the gun is empty. AJ and she tussle and AJ has her by the throat when Sonny walks in. He has a flashback to AJ strangling Kate. Or Connie..or WHOMEVER she was.
Sonny ends up SHOOTING AJ! I honestly thought Ava did-- huh. Good twist if it's not a fantasy or something on Sonny's part.
AJ's got blood all over him
ROBIN IS FINALLY out of the house. I am strangely unmoved. Whatever..bye. See ya. The new story will Be Patrick trying not to fall for Betty when she has his baby. He'll probably deliver it in a cabin somewhere.
DO NOT ADMIT! Sorry Silas!! He and Sam slammed the guards.wow Why do I have a feeling there will be no person in that room?
UGH, that stick thing in Sonny's office needs to be MY BADGER!! LOL
AJ, who cares!? You got found Not Guilty..just drop it. We DID.,.
He and Ava were pretty hawt tho! HE tells her you went to throw it.."but you MISSED THE LAKE"!! ahahaa
He figures it all out..then Ava pulls a gun on him.
She's gonna shoot tomorrow!
Robin got CAKE?
For leaving EMMA?!!
I think NOT.
:stompingfoot:
Cake... COME ON! And PRESENTS??????!!!! She deserves nothing
Robin gave Emma a telescope necklace.
Victor comes in and says: TIME TO GO!
Obrect gets a WSB Book from Victor. ON Faison!! He wants her to go with him. He LOVES her..he asks for a kiss goodbye. Then he gives her the notebook about Faison. She goes to see Anna and accuses her of killing him.
Even Sonny's sick of Michael.
