It's "the 4th" ...

 Gio and Willow talk at the pool she's sad about what happened to him at the Nurses' Ball. Tracey comes in later to tell him about the fire and Kristina and also how Michael almost got killed. These are both Sonny's fault and he's in danger. 

Trina and Kai talking about Drew...he's in DC. Willow gushes over Kai and how good he is for Drew.  Willow leaves and Trina badgers him about Drew and the Qs. 

So, off camera, I guess ROCCO looked at his file. He and Danny called Emma to the Garage Cafe to talk about "Britt Westborne". She tells him what a bitch she was, gives them all her bad nicknames and says that she was with her Dad for a hot minute then he found out how bad she was and dumped her. She even pretended to be pregnant with his baby. Then Emma's like: Ohhhhhhhhh.... I get it. Then she says she was too young to know anything really and Rocco needs to talk to his parents. 

Tracey and Brook are still talking about Sonny's bad money. Tracey leaves for the pool. 

Lulu and Laura talk about the fire. Lulu thinks Laura should disavow Sonny at this point. Laura is dressed in a HALLOWEEN OUTFIT--black on black and an orange blouse that looks like it's Pumpkin Spice Era. Lulu says she has to SAVE PORT CHARLES and Ezra might be beating her. She's just blabbering. 

Sonny's in the PCPD and the ADA is talking to him. Diane can't see him. She wants to talk to Sonny "off the record" because he DID ask for a lawyer but she's not there. Or some other weird shit. She wants him to talk to her. He says she just feels guilty because Nat got info on him and ADA Thinks she got her killed.

Jason is mad that Diane can't see Sonny. Dante comes over to the Q house to talk to Jason about the fire and says Selina Wu is the suspect. (BULLSHIT!!) He wonders if Jason had them all killed.  Jason's like: UM, Selina wouldn't do that-- and she sure wouldn't do it to Kristina. He thinks Sidwell set her up.

TEMP Maxie comes in to talk to Michael. She did the Christening prep but didn't go? Anyway, its' a temp Maxie. Then she goes to Brook and they talk about the dirty money AND Natalia is death. She wants to go to the police. Picks up a file--but it's the BRITT WESTBORNE FILE. Brook says yeah, I was GOING to use that as revenge against Lulu. 

WELL, we were interrupted by the house bill passing and I'm out. I'll finish GH later. I'm fking done for today. 

NO NEW SHOW tomorrow. 

ALMOST KILLED MY DAUGHTER!

 

So I do have to say that even tho Natalia is laying there dead dead--I'm never buying that anyone on this show is really gone. You know it, I know it and although I don't think she's coming back but you never know. 

Tracey finds out from Brook that Sonny's money was dirty going into Deception. Tracey flips out "I KNEW IT" she says. She said they should use this to their advantage.

Gio and Emma are talking at the Garage Cafe. He says he's not going back to PCU. Emma says to wait until the fall to make up his mind. OH!! and the doggie is there!! They talk about breaking into the lab at PCU. 

Joss and Vaughn are out looking at the fire. She knows it's because of Sonny. She gives him the Corinthos' family history. Oh, she tells him another reason for her joining the WSB is to get 'high enough to bring Sonny down' AHAHHA

Krissy's in the hospital. Alexis won't let her leave. Kristina tells her all about the fire. Then Alexis leaves to do paperwork and Molly comes in. 

Marco is crying by mama's bedside. Says he wishes it didn't end this way. 

Lucas talks to Anna and Chase about how Natalia might have died. Marco comes out. They tell him she took pills and alcohol. He wonders if it was suicide or accidental. They don't know. They talk about the text messages and Nat going to the Christening. She was upset after talking to Sonny. Marco says "Sonny Corinthos murdered my mother".  Then he stops himself and Anna and Dante leave. 

Lucas finds Sidwell's number in the hospital file. Marco didn't have his phone so he calls him. Tells him Natalia has passed. 

Anna gets footage from The Metro--they see Sonny's bodyguard outside the door. 

Sonny talks to Jason about Sidwell. It's HIS FAULT and he almost KILLED MY DAUGHTER!! Yada yada, he's mad. Sonny says and "Eye for an Eye' and he'll go after Marco even though he saved Kristina. 

OMG!!!!!! MS WU WALKS into Sidwell's den!!!! he tells her she's about to go to war with Sonny Corinthos. WU WU !!! Sidwell SET her UP to look like she ordered the fire. Two of her associates will be found to have started it. He says that Sonny won't believe her and she needs to get out of town. WHAT! She'd better go to Sonny but it looks like she's leaving on a plane. NOOOOO! Damn it.

END: 

Sidwell gets to the hospital and he and Marco cry, talk about calling Blaze. Sid finds out Marco ran into the fire.

Anna goes to Sonny's and tells him Natalia is dead. She says he's a person of interest and has to go to the station.

Tracey is going to turn Sonny in for the bad money but Chase tells them about Natalia's death. Tracey is fearing for Gio's life (I don't know, just go with it)

Vaughn and Joss share the most cringe kiss EVER at the end LOL 

TWO-FER

 

YESTERDAY: 

Um, Jordan acting like she and Curtis are already going out? Come on now. And Portia? Just being weird? Okay. 

It's SO sad they didn't have Natalia slowly become a drunk tea-spiller and Sonny Stalker a few months ago. This was way too fast and just out of the blue. Nat got interesting and she's gone in 3 days!!! Eva LaRue did a great job too--she would have eaten up that material!!  The hotel scene? Brilliant. 

Of course, I enjoyed the Q after-party. Could have used Olivia, Ned and Leo though. 

Mac made it to the Christening!! Brook was WAY OUTTA LINE BTW. 

Don't care about Anna and ADA who-ever. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Sidwell on the parapet, looking at the fire. "You did your job" he says. I bet he doesn't know Kristina is in there. 

Sidwell and Alexis meet to sign some of his stupid papers and Marco isn't doing it because she wants to vet his stuff. He's not happy she's checking on him. Alexis gets a call about the fire.

Marco is in the car, driving to check on his mama. He sees the fire. 

Kristina in a burning bar. She tries the fire extinguisher. This is SO STUPID. She stands there when the extinguisher isn't working. The SIDE DOOR IS RIGHT THERE. Just stands there. Marco breaks down the door. AHAHAHAHHA. She finally says, let's go out the back door! They make it out. Dante hugs Krissy. Then Sonny shows up and Jason yells at Marco "What WERE YOU DOIN' HERE"?? He says he was driving by and saw the fire and a car there and ran in. Sonny and Jason treat him like a suspect. Firemen tells them they have to go to the hospital. 

Joss and Lucas talk in the kitchen. She wanted to give Kai and Tri alone time. Lucas leaves after Liz calls him to GH. Brennan walks in to 'check up on her" and her plan to distract Emma from Dalton. Then Carly walks in and wants to know what Jack is doing there. 

Molly comes late to the Qs. She wants to see the baby and is thinking about Irene. Carly shows her photos. 

Sasha doesn't want to put the baby in the nursery, has her in the living room. (paranoia). Everyone coos over Daisy. 

Jason tells Sonny LaRue didn't get on the plane. Then he says: Oh, Charlie's is on fire. He and Sonny run out. 

Molly gets a call that Charlie's is on fire; Michael flashes back to his burning up. 

The bodyguard is useless, knocks on the door, leaves. Then Chase and a cop come to check on her. Anna has the key, they go in and Natalia is passed out. Chase checks for a pulse. They try to decide if it was suicide or a set up. Anna wants hallway footage. 

Natalia is pronounced dead at GH. Not that that means she's DEAD DEAD because you know, this is GH.  Liz calls Lucas.  They can't figure out where Marco is. Then Anna and Chase come in looking for him too. 

END: 

Brennan tells Carly she has PTSD from Michael's fire

Alexis yells at SONNY because of his life-style and yada yada and it's SO LAUGHABLE!! MY GOD. Seriously? YEARS of this.

Michael tells Sasha he's been talking pain pills now and then for neuropathy. He says he will be nothing like his father.

The fireman comes out and says it's arson.

Marco finds out his mother is dead.

End Of June

 

That Burn Clinic was sure something, wasn't it? 

I'm off today! 

This week's promo shows plenty of MOBULAR activity--which is something we were all hoping would be fading away at this juncture. NOPE! Charlie's is set on fire, Alexis yells at Sonny and Natalia is shown passing out (or dying??) I really would have liked to have seen ANY one of these happening: 

Trina art-caper mystery

Rocco--Charlotte--Danny (pick any kid) OR Gio and Emma "Summer on the Run" story. I was thinking it would be cool for Gio and Emma to be on a houseboat 

RAva spending money wildly on super fantastic things and taking a REAL trip to anywhere on location

The Downfall of Drew in all it's spectacular Glory

Nikolas recast or same cast outta jail story ...trying to reclaim Wyndemere

Wu Empire with Gambling parlor and fun/crime stuff

Sonny trying to figure out how to just hang out and garden or start a TikTok cooking channel (ok, that's hokey but anything is better than the same ol)

More for Jordan to actually DO while being closer to Sidwell--so far nothing

Creepy, Crawly lab experiments are hinted at and get some complex anti-aging or cloning stuff going. Cell regeneration, Stem Cell stuff... I mean do SOMETHING with the spy stuff or cut bait. 

Monica's decline needs to be happening, even if it's offscreen. She's going to consult a specialist and the family has to have an emergency meeting and pull together yada yada. That would set the stage for a memorial in the fall. 

I mean there are a million things we could do. But, I'm just sitting on my butt in a chair far from anything 'real' in the writing world!! 

Have a good day. It's 90 plus here and a lovely summer's day. HOT yes, but that's the way June is ending!! 

SEE you TOMORROW. 

Sunday Surgery: Pool Boyz

 

So, no it wasn't the most exciting thing to happen this week --but it was VERY Summer and hey, why not feature the teens for once!!? 

Grab your fave pool-side drink and let's DIVE in..

My 6500th POST

 HAPPY 6500 POSTS FOR THE WUB TUB BLOG!!!!!!!!! That's right!! 

Little House keeping notes: This might be the last live blog for a bit-- just because next week is on/off for vacation and I'm not sure when I can watch live. I WILL PUT A SHELL UP DAILY however. There is no new GH on July 4th.  Thank you for reading the blog, ordering from Amazon when you can and just interacting! 

THE SHOW: 

Jordan is in talking with Anna about Curtis. She's not sure where she stands with him. Her head--her heart...she is going to stop by his office today. After Jordan leaves, Anna gets a folder and calls ADA to come and meet her. 

Portia is talking to Curtis about why he's helping her with Drew and she thinks he's going to leave her. Curtis tells her how he feels and that he's hurt about her lying and yada yada. Now Portia is going to tell HIM HOW SHE feels. Good lord. They keep arguing and finally kss. 

Sonny opens the door to ADA Justine and she has a box Diane sent her. Sonny said he didn't send it but it's a new softball mitt and she says he can't bribe her. He says there's no evidence he sent it. Then Krissy walks in. They are polite to each other. Then the ADA leaves. Krissy goes into the kitchen and Sonny calls someone and says there's a 'change of plans' for Natalia. 

Natalia is meeting with Brook Lyn to tell her Deception is in trouble. Some of Sonny's money was diverted wrong and it was a clerical error. I have no idea where this came from.

Bodyguard comes to Nat's door while she's looking at Belize photos on her iPad. He says she has to go NOW and Sonny's not coming. She has a mini breakdown after the guy leaves. She was gong to pack but bolts out of the room with her purse.

Q kitchen: Felicia and Sasha talk about Daisy and why Sasha said Jason was the dad. Felicia totally understands. Cody comes in with a giant elephant a delivery guy dropped it off. IS it from them tho? Hmmm... Sasha wants to tell Cody about the weird stuff that's been happening. He gives her reasons that it could be..nothing big.

Michael talks to Joss and tells her Sasha picked Felicia to be the godmother but he would have picked her. She says she gets it and is just glad he's home. They talk about life and Wiley missing Willow. He tells Joss that Drew and Wills are getting married. 

Carly and Jason talk in the chruch. She talks about leaving Michael and Jason having him christened and picking out the name. Edward crashed the whole thing. 

END: 

Natalia goes and sits in the back of the church. Big mad face

Jordan interrupts Desk Zex with Portia and Curtis

Anna finds out that ADA and Chase are investigating Sonny behind her back. 

ALL IN ALL ...PRETTY DULL FRIDAY. 

also see: NO follow up on the Rocco file from yesterday. 

Thursday

 

Carly and Sonny talk at his house about the Christening tomorrow. The reception is at the Qs so Monica can be there.  He tells her Sidwell was going to buy his piers and she's so happy he didn't sell them to him. Maybe Sidwell was behind the bombing and the attempt on Sonny's life in LA. Sonny tells her about Natalia leaving and he's 'taking care of her'. 

Sasha puts Daisy down in her crib. Turns off the light. Then goes to the kitchen to see Felicia. She wants her to be Daisy's godmother. Felicia is so happy.  Sasha goes to get the tea and the milk is in the cupboard. Oh...

Someone comes into Daisy's room and looms over the crib. They change her outfit from yellow to pink. Someone is trying to drive Sasha nuts. Sasha goes in later to give her a bottle and sees the new outfit. 

The boys talk to Brook Lyn and Jason tells them not to bother her. They tell him about horsing around at the pool, then they all leave except Brook Lyn who stares at the file on Rocco. She flashes back to Lulu saying she'd never lie to her kids or keep 'life altering info' from them. Then Brook puts the file on the table under a Deception file and leaves (oh brother). They boys come in later and Danny sees the file with Rocco's name on it. (oh brother)

Lucas is meeting Marco at the pool and Lulu's saying not to get to close to Sidwell's son. He's dangerous. OMG :eyeroll: Then Lucas gets tired of waiting for Marco and leaves.

Dante wants to take Gio to the Philharmonic in the park but Gio flashes back to smashing his violin and says "Music isn't my thing anymore'. Dante leaves. Lulu is chatted up by a drunk. Gio comes over and tells him to leave. The drunk falls in the pool. Gio saves him. The manager throws the guy out. Lulu and Gio laugh and laugh about the incident and BROOK sees them and gets Jealous.

Jason and Dante talk to the boys in the Q other room and Dante says he might have gotten it wrong about Jason. The boys go to swim. Aw, they talk about being Dads. Dante apologizes to Jason. They are friends.

Natalia and Marco talk. She says she might not see him again. He asks if she's leaving the country. She says yes. He figures out Sonny is helping her. He's mad. "he's GOING TO KILL YOU"! She says no, he likes her too much and he'll come with her. Not right away but soon! He's yelling and Lucas walks in. Then he tells her if she leaves, she's dead to him. Nat says "I already am". Lucas finds out the whole plan and tells Marco not to call the police on his mother. He'll regret it. 

Sidwell is looking at photos of Sonny's family ...Ezra  comes in. Sidwell says Sonny decided not to sell the pier. He says something big has to happen to remind everyone what a thug Sonny is. Ezra says NO and Sidwell tells him he'll do what he says because he's paying for him to run for mayor. Maybe he'll kill Nat and Sonny will be blamed? Ezra leaves. Then Natalia comes in. She tells him not to drag his son into his business. Then she storms out. He goes to the parapet and watches the water. 

END: 

Danny gives Rocco the file with his name on it. 

Sasha can't figure out how Daisy got into another outfit and switched position in the crib. 

TOMORROW: Looks like the start of the Christening.
