Sunday Surgery: One Night Shift

What a week. I'd like to remind you that this WEEK was the equivalent to ONE NIGHT in PC time. Stories jumping all over the map, some great scenes thrown in now and again, and of course, those famous Franco Flip-Flips coming down the hall to get a Showerin' Sam. We went from a few days after JaSam's wedding and honeymoon, right into Halloween and Carly's birthday??! Fastest month EVER. Thrown in was Emma's non-party, where her parents actually put on hats and did a cute tribute via the cam-corder. 
Problem is-- I still don't know how it got to be what day and when. Carly comes back, talks to Luke in Kelly's, fresh from her Franco-Terror only to go on some banshee-stalker hunt for Shawn. The next thing I know, she's downing shots at Jake's, making out with Johnny.  HUH? Not only that, it seems like it should be 4am by now and Sonny strolls in, looking like he's not been at a going away party for the past 5 hours. HUH? 

This HAD to be the longest night ever. Remember, this is also the night that Kate was going to her work party, came over to Sonny's all dressed up as Madonna, then changed back, and showed up for the 3rd time later that same night to Krissy's party. Dante and Lulu were around for awhile, along with Michael and Abner -- and at the same time Olivia was bopping in and out with foil covered food. I think she fainted in there somewhere as well. Diane, Max and Milo made an appearance. Craziest "party" ever.  The whole crowd was only in the same room at the same time once, btw, and that was for about a 2 minute scene. Guess who couldn't make the party? MOLLY! Why? She had a cold. Thank goodness we got to see her back at the Davis' house before Sonny's. Maybe it was too much to pay her to do both.
I just don't know what to say anymore. I feel like I'm watching a show that's been through a juicer. Everything mixed up and squeezed really-really hard. Speaking of juicing, did you notice Papa Z and Johnny drinking all that hot pink vitamin water? I still don't get why they are in the garage. Don't get me wrong,  I don't mind looking at something besides  Johnny's fugly apartment but it is a bit bizarre. 
I didn't like the Luke "revises" history chat he had with Ethan about he and Holly. Laura knew all about it, right?? Okay, whatever.   To then throw in "spooky" lights and tunnel action in Wyndemere made it all seem so Nancy Drew. All I wanted was Luke to take a dang drink and get back to his old self again. I can't stand this sad-sack anymore. 
Friday's show FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY got to the Franco business. Jason's locked up, Sam's all soapy and Franco's coming down the hall. His "wedding present" will be making them wonder if he did indeed impregnate Sam or not. How charming!! Thing is? THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN GOOD-- if it was DONE ABOUT 3 FREEKIN' WEEKS AGO!!  Hellooooooo. Now, the momentum's not only gone, we're bored to tears. I will never understand what took so dang long to get to this point.  
By the Way: Claudia mentions were all over the place this week! AZ got all teary-eyed over her. The writers forgot that Michael killed her the night Josslyn was born, ergo it should have been her birthday, not Carly's. Heh.. Why is Claudia's name being brought up so much? Hmmmm. 

Other stuff that happened? I think Liz was in code blue a few times, Maxie and Spin did some birthday stuff and Mac was spotted. Lulu's still looking like Debbie Downer about her engagement (And clueless Dante has no idea), some really tall woman was sitting with Shawn and oh, yeah.. Lucky went and slept in some Irish graveyard. (That's how interesting THAT story is LOL) 

SCENE OF THE WEEK: Sonny toasts Kristina. He gets all misty eyed while Alexis sobs. We know from their tweets this was indeed, a tough scene to shoot and you could tell. They really love Lexi and it's such a shame the idiots had to SORA'd her for a cheap story. (because come on, given their track record, can we trust them to write anything but?!) 
RUNNER UP: Have to give props to the Diane's Drunk bit that happened during the party as well. "Get out,  Save yourself" she says to Kristina (or something like it). It was perfect.  Rather strangely thrown in but I could use that laugh about then.

NOT the SCENE OF THE WEEK: This actually goes to some stupid ass'd story boarding or editing snafu that allowed Robin to open the door up to a masked pumpkin who we thought could be Lisa. She'd dreamed it on Friday and here it was happening on Monday. THEN?? Well, three days go by until we find out that it was some kid from next door. We never saw the scene--Robin told Patrick about it. ugh... you know how mad that made me. 

Rumors of Garin Wolf's departure continue to abound all over the place.  Do I think it will help this show? At this point? Not hopeful anymore.  The spoilers are saying Luke will go get Lucky in Ireland because Aiden is ill--his 'brusing' sounds like leukemia to me. *sigh* Poor Liz.  Dang, that girl's been through the ringer! More is coming of cop Dolores/Mulva-- she's got a 'secret adjenda' :eyeroll: 'Jake's Alive' conspiracy theories abound too. Could it be the whole mourning of his death and Luke's subsequent lashings were for naught? Liason fans will get a bedside view of their couple as Jason comforts Liz.  All the new scoops are up on THE WUBS NET and please, if you can hit a sponsor for me...thanks!
