Sunday Surgery: Exequias a Amicus

Ah... Latin so much more fitting for a funeral than English, yes?  This week was Robin's week--despite the slow start it ended up being a wonderful testament to her life and watching someone grow up before our eyes. 
In our ever changing world, it is nice to have a constant--doesn't happen much but for some reason the soap gods smiled and let us have our Robin, un-SORA'd and not recast.

SCENE OF THE WEEK: There were a huge amount to choose from but for me, Robin tying Patrick's tie was so perfect it was just amazing to watch. What more of an intimate gesture is there between a man and a woman than she tying his tie before going out or he putting on her necklace? Just a raw, emotional scene.

GIGGLE OF THE WEEK: Oh --- gotta love them Handgun LTD mags!! LOL 

 NOT THE SCENE OF THE WEEK: Ok, yes, I'm harping on this but I just CAN'T DEAL with the "Change" of Kate/Connie. It was awkward and I laughed OUT LOUD (and I was alone) when she "flipped back" . Brandon Barash needs a damn medal for not losing it during this whole thing. 

FUN SURPRISE OF THE WEEK:  Oh drop that towel!! Isn't this a glorious screen shot of the moment of truth!? LOL. That's Cartini-- shirtless near naked hunks exposing themselves randomly. (If you didn't watch OLTL you missed 3 brothers that were 1/2 neekid all the time and they were spectacular!) Sam's face...schwing!
PS. Hit the link for all week in HD Screen shots! 

I also really love the fact that McBain and Sonny have a history (even if it's off screen, it's totally believable)...and liked the whole Todd courtroom stuff. Starr and Michael are cute together and Michael isn't such a whiny ween around her. Carly and Blair, well...you know they are charming together. Now that the OLTL people are "established" I'm sure it will integrate into GH way more smoothly. 

Heather Webber is coming. There is such a huge history behind this it's hard to get it down to a bite size piece. THIS is the Heather I remember and boy did she play crazy really, really well. My fave scene of her was when she was hiding in a closet, rocking a baby doll calling it "Steven Lars"... 
From TV Megasite: (interview with Mary O'Brien) 

Heather Grant, a troubled, desperate young woman who, after selling her out-of-wedlock baby, Steven Lars, on the black market, wound up marrying the baby's young father, Dr. Jeff Webber (Richard Dean Anderson). Telling her new husband the baby died at birth, Heather endured Jeff's discovering their son was alive and, after learning good friends Dr. Peter and Diana Taylor unwittingly adopted her young son, she set out to get the baby back at any and all cost.

Robin Mattson took the role over and the rest is history! There is a GREAT history on About.com regarding all things Heather. One of my problems with Mattson is that I remember her more from AMC as Janet-- I think I was watching that show more then? Not sure. Having Heather back should open a lot of doors. I hope she sees Tracy and AUDREY...OMG they so should get RA back on for that one. I still hope Richard Dean Anderson says yes to playing Dr. Jeff because he and Monica? Hoo-Ah. 

 

Happy St. Paddy's Day!

 

Rose Kelly... 

Have a wee bit o' the Oyrish whiskey! 

Franco's Latest Fronkey Project!

 Since leaving GH ("leaving" get it?) Franco has done a number of interesting things. This time is a project on Nick and Nite:
  The Oscar-nominated actor has agreed to appear on the Nick at Nite telenovela "Hollywood Heights."
The gig was announced by the network on Wednesday, but further details about his appearance on the show were not released. The show will kick off in June, according to Vulture, and like any good telenovela, it will air five nights a week. Based on a Mexican soap opera, the show revolves around a shy girl who befriends a rock star (her crush) after winning a songwriting competition and ultimately becomes a pop star herself. 

I so want him to have a pet monkey. Interesting for sure. He's also in some A list projects like "Oz" so he's not entirely going off the rails into bizarre project-world.  Well not yet.

"What They Need is Robin..."

So true Maxie... I really liked Jen's take on this. And Spin wasn't too annoying. Good scene between those two!!


Flashback with HIV Robin..ahhh!! Sonny's speech was interesting. I loved the flashbacks of the pasta dinner talk and her so young...

Carly was dressed like Julia Roberts in "Sleeping with the Enemy"! Geesh, Epiphany is getting  A TON of airtime! woot! Carly "What about ME ME ME"???? GOOD LORD. Shut up or tell him! Carly is blabbin' on and on about Robin-- and how she shouldn't have treated her so badly. I kind of wish Jason would have had a gran mal after Carly told him. Would serve her right!! LOL

Anna's talk about Robin was just heartbreaking!!! Those flashbacks.  Killed me. Anna and she in bed. Wow. That's why SORA  is so insane and makes me mad. I so love seeing kids grow up on screen. Then Luke....oy.
PATRICK! Jason Thompson is amazing. 

EWAN drops his towel for Sam!! ahaha. So funny...that's why I watch live, GH NOW  is just full of surprises.


SKate has NO place on the show today--ugh. Hated it. And she looks so clownish.

It's ONLY the PRODUCER of GH And Alberta!!

Thanks @slygirlSnBFF on twitter

Oh, and Nancy--who's met Alberta about 500x. MORE PHOTOS TO COME!!! 
 

Forbes Thinks The Chew and Revolution Stink Too!

Both “The Revolution” and “The Chew” (at 1pm) are unwatchable and unnecessary. They look like they should be on a UHF channel. (You’re too young for that reference, so let’s say on an outer cable station, like 151.) ABC’s former soap viewers have left the 1 and 2pm slots, drifted over to NBC’s “Days of Our Lives” and CBS’s “The Talk,” of all things. (CBS started this avalanche by canceling “Guiding Light” and “s the World Turns”.) ”

So goes the op-ed piece in FORBES. Read it--doesn't give much hope for GH...but at least it's getting some street cred. I mean FORBES likes it more than those other idiot shows. Hope that  someone IN ABC takes heed!

Spoilers Are Up, Get 'em While They're HOT!

Yep...Carly blabs!

Get on over to the WUBS Net!! Look what's happening in Port Chuck. Blackmail, A Trial... Starr and Michael,  Tracy and Luke. Plus Anna's sticking around!
I won't be here for today's show, can you believe it? Dang it--so post away. I will DVR because I know today will be awesome. 

Have a good one!

"It's MY House, Alan Gave It To Me"!

Gah!! 

I don't really need to say much about this episode. It was just ...so sad. Loved the Scrubs scenes. I was trying to see what kinds of products they put in the shower scene! LOL 

Edward looking at all the people Guza killed off on his mantel. HATE GUZA!!

Matt doing ballet was cute...


Sam had a bump I didn't notice last week.


Monica and Tracy and Edward..and Big Alice. EDWARD is down!! Oh, he just didn't take his meds. Thank goodness!!


Of course, Luke and Anna were awesome.  Two awesome actors just talking. Sigh. Notice how Luke never said Ethan was Robert's son?? danced around it.
