Friday Fun Day

Ok, so GH today was drippy Ugh. 



So I ditched it.
Sonny and Michael blabbing about CarSon.
Nelle and Lulu blabbing about Charlotte
Laura said she's going to Turkey.
Alexis is talking to Sam. 
Friz are talking about getting married, or not getting married....

Hope you had a GREAT Friday!! 

Franco Gives Nina a Coffee Pot

Laura says she can't go to Turkey with Tracy. By the end of the show, she's Trotting to Turkey with Tracey.  I guess they'll see Luke there.  That photo up there was on CH's Instagram account today. Looks like Luke will make an appearance. No comment on the HAIR



Jason has Jake angst 

Robbery is stupid.  All to get the pills out of Ava's hands I guess.  Not only is it directed weird, the dialog is written for 10 year olds. OMG. UGH
Jordan saved them. Olivia ended up proposing to Ned. THE PILLS are in the backpack the robbers had to Jordan impounds them at the PCPD because GH HATES me. 

Curtis and Jordan ohhh lah lah

Franco and Nina... I do miss them.  He gave her a coffee maker for her marriage. Then asks her about parenting Liz' kids and she (rightfully so flips out) 

Kiki is working in the psyche ward at GH because of Morgan.


OK, I'm going to watch Sean Spicer because GH is giving me a headache. 

Honey Trap

Nina's trying to get Griffin to tell Anna to back off. *sigh* He tells her she's insecure. She leaves in a huff. 


Yes, Valentin used this SPY LINGO to describe what Anna did to him. LOL She remembers nothing! NOTHING!! So long story short, she took info to the DVX that Val gave her and he got fired and it broke him. He cried. She also 'looked into his eyes" and saw "the real man he was" then she left him. He cries, she puts her hand on his cheek and in walks NINA. (see below)
And...it's going to be Alex Devane that did this. See clip below. 

Nurse Amy is going on and on about something...whatever

Ned and Olivia are talking about Tracy and the Larry painting. Then he pulls out a giant ring. She cries. She still doesn't want to get married. 

Tracy paid Ava some $$ To find it-- some before, some when she finds it. OH! Ava actually GOOGLED it at the bar!! LOL..she found it and Tracy gave her another check on the spt! Ok then! Then Tracy pulled out her phone and tried to call the auction house in Turkey-- but no one speaks English. WELP, guess WHAT!!?? Laura comes into the Metro and SHE CAN SPEAK TURKISH!
yep. You heard it here first.
Laura calls, it's in a Monastery in Turkey in a remote location-- Laura says it could be dangerous! Tracy says come with me! 



Curtis and Jordan (in a tiny black dress) having dinner and she says: CONGRATS! You have a job at the PCPD--only now Curtis doesn't want it. ugh  I guess they are dating. 

Ava finds Lucy at Floating Rib-- she gives her checks. Lucy says it's not enough! Ava pulls out some head sculpture thing and says that's worth a lot...give me the pills!!! 


Maxie is looking for work "in the city" says Nathan to Dante. They'll see each other on weekends. 



Anna suddenly remembers who else it could have been with Valentine! She's gonna go look for her. SIGH

Hated it on AMC......will hate it now I'm sure.


OH..The Floating Rib gets held up at the end of the show. Ava's got her pills out, the bobble head is on the bar and Ned's engagement ring is on the table. 

Bait and Switch AGAIN

Tracy might meet with Larry...she tells Ned. Then she goes to his hotel room.  Larry tells her about Turkey. The country. He went to an auction house there and there was a painting there, that actually it belonged to JL Holt aka "Your Father".  I guess Edward left for awhile in the 80's and bought this. The painting belongs to the Q family. Larry wants a finders' fee.  She says she'll find it herself.
She goes to Ava, who happens to need money for Lucy.



Dr. O has the file on Valentin for Anna. She goes to Dr. Maddox with it. Faison wrote an email... and I guess Valentin compromised a mission. He was a double agent and Anna turned over the information to the DVX, probably when she was a double agent.
Got it.
Do you care? 
She's now tearfully telling Maddox about her double agent history.  "Maybe they fooled both of us"!
She's probably Jason Bourne. You know, mind erased.
Big take away? Val said they slept together. 


Alexis is hoping Juilan was coming...but it was the wind.  She drinks.  This is just unacceptable. UGH. REDUX!! Valentin comes to the door. He wants to check on Alexis as "family'.  (For the Custody case basically) she tells him to get lost. He leaves. Knock at the door. It's "Julian" again! Alexis sees him all over..telling her to get rid of the bottle. He's a hallucination. Shocker.

Lucy is at CarSon's to tell  them about the pills. AND GUESS who interrupts? AVA. Yep...she barges in and wants to talk about "Avery's School". AND Lucy caves when Ava offers her money for the charity.
YEP.
SO, Lucy tells them nothieng and LEAVES. Son of a bees wax---really? They'd better BURN those pills and NEVER EVER bring them up again! Seriously?  You drag this crap up again, have Ava all breathless again, bring in Scotty AGAIN..and..and??????/

CarSon is the same old sheeze. Carly finally leaves. Sonny throws a glass.  Whatever. 

Ned and Olivia....Olivia wants Ned to adopt Leo.  Ned loves him a lot-- but he wonders why Olivia won't marry him.  "I do want to spend the rest of my life with you...but why bother getting married"??  

Half-Time!!!

Yes I got here at 2:28.  No, I wasn't really interested! 

Sonny and Laura Talking about Charlotte and Nelle. 

Scotty and Lucy Talking about the Pills. Scotty mentions Serena. 




The Friz- Jason yelling about Franco being near Jake. 

Carly and Sam Taking about Carly's marriage. 

Alexis and...hallucination Jules and then Real Ava. Ava's like: Don't be drinking after what Jules did for you (huh?) weird. 
Ava doesn't want Alexis to drink because Jules sacrificed for her and he might not be dead?
Okay then!  Alexis takes a giant swig of Vodka.
Alexis is drinking again!

Jason is bitching again!

Sonny's crying over Carly again!

Carly's crying over Sonny again! 

Scotty's trying to get the pills again! 

Ok, so the only decent thing that happened is that Lucy went to CarSon's house with the pills. "I have to tell you something". Then the show ends. 

Sunday Surgery: You Have To See the Bay-Bay

When You're MOST Worried about the Lizard, it's a slow slow week...

Since today's blog can fit on one page, may I suggest fast food for breakfast?  

This week on General Hospital: 



JaSam really loves their baby. Danny gets to meet her for the very first time. Visitors come in coo and delight in the baby's birth. (no one brought Frankincense and Myrrh tho).  Think Seinfeld--but this baby is cute. 



Friz are alarmed that Jake is drawing stuff and doesn't remember. They tell Jason. Jason reacts badly. (if you are unsure what happened go back 11 months because it's the EXACT same story). Now we can wait for them to argue ad nausea about Jake being near Franco. Yeah, us !



Alexis is vexed by Julian's letter. Molly and Krissy find it. Molly strangely believes him! Kristina points out that Alexis sounds like she did when she was with Keifer. Alas, Alexis still loves her some Jules. 



Awwww, Hammy-Finn is detoxing. He's duct taped to a chair. He sweats. Hayden cares for him. Roxy runs loose in the hallway.  Wake me up when the Zen-Zen has cleared his system. 



We gotta talk about Us...!! Are we together? You love me! No.wait, I know I made a mistake and lied but..are you mad? Do you love me? Hard to stay away from each other. We have a connection. You lie!  Now guess... is this 2005 or 2017?? 



In came the doctor, in came the nurse, in came the lady with the alligator purse! Oh, it was time for one of GH's favorite devices: Stick someone in jail and have the parade of people stop by to bitch and threaten them. 



Whatever. If Tracy's exit story involves Larry then... it's an automatic fail. 



Dr. O has new bangs. She went to talk to Anna about Valentin. So did Maddox. That's about it because they didn't say very much.  The Val-Anna connection is about the best thing on the show for me right now, mainly because of the acting of FH and JPS. It's apparent however that Griffin will end up being Anna's son somehow--and I don't have faith it will make ANY sense. 



I'm hiring Nelle. I just met her but she's the best person and Charlotte loves her. Almost as much as she loves cocoa and cookies. So, back off. 




MOST EXPOSITION IN ONE DAY: Monday was a test of our patience, that's for sure. The entire week was a summary but Monday was just a killer. ugh


PROP of the WEEK: Liz gets a foot bath from Franco. Can't get a photo of it but you can probably look one up on Amazon. 


So... no real movement this week. I have to be honest, I skipped a day and I only watched 1/2 days because by 2:30 it was apparent that this was going to make me nap. I am glad they finally had on Molly and Krissy but why these 2 don't have their own stories is beyond me. They are the right age, good actresses and for godsakes, get them something to do.  So, there you have it! 

Next week? Get this: revisit the Ava Pill Morgan Mess.... Revisit CarSon angst....Revisit tired Friz/JaSam Jake fest.... not exactly gripping. 

PS. If you don't know Seinfeld you don't get my title. But, it's pretty hilarious. :) 

Night Drawing

Molly and Kristina are home, about time. Molly finds the letter Jules wrote Alexis. Krissy thinks it's BS, Molly thinks it might be true. Huh? Alexis admits that she still loves him.



Sam and Jason in baby bliss...I know their fans are happy but zzzzzzz. Curtis visits and is cute.  He tells Jason he thinks he's going to join the PCPD if Jordan lets him. Jason is a little sad. 

Friz..looking at Jake's drawings. He drew something last night that looks like Abe Lincoln if you ask me. He doesn't remember drawing it. Liz thinks it's time to tell Jason what's going on 

Carly and Sonny 'catch coffee' OUTSIDE...in March. Sonny wants to TALK about their RELATIONSHIP because they haven't done it enough over the last 20 years. 

Finn is still all sweaty You'd think he'd be in a hospital if he's going thru withdrawls. I know he doesn't want to go, but she should call 911 at this point. He's yelling at Hayden. 

Ok, I made it to 2:25 today !! 

I need Coffee

Olivia sitting in the PCPD while people coming in to bitch at her. Right now it's Jordan. 

Finn let Roxy wander into the hall-- he's in having with drawls.  He's babbling. She undresses him to get him in the shower.  NOPE.. he goes in fully dressed. 

Tracy and Ned at the Metro.  Tracy's all bitchy.  Tracy is mad that Olivia hasn't said yes to his proposal.  Larry Ashton comes in. 

Franco and Liz...Franco bought her a pedi-machine thing. Foot bath that's it.  He lights a bunch of candles. Better keep Cam out. 

Sonny stops by to see baby Scout.  Maurice is adorable with babies, we all know that.


I haven't watched in 2 days and I'm struggling to watch today. Wow..I'm falling asleep here.

The Daytime Emmys will not be broadcast this year, and no word yet on online watching. As soon as I find out, I will let you konw! 

Gong Gong Gong

Chuck ...oh Chuck Berry the guy behind the Gong Show is gone. I can't tell you the sheer lunacy of this show if you didn't see it at the time. My brother and I would jut die watching after school!! Everyone was either coked up or drunk. 

Anyway, I have a meeting at 2:00 so I won't be in for GH. Based on yesterday I really couldn't care-- so boring. 

Nanny Nell

Carly hates Nell....

Nelle wants to work with Nina to be Charlotte's nanny. Which is a way to get her to stay on camera.  After some back and forth, Nina says she has to get to know her better 
Nina and she go to the Metro for lunch--yeah, THAT Metro where Carly and Bobbie are talking all about her. And Sonny. Summary. 
Carly tells Nina not to hire Nell "it will be the worst mistake of your life" . Bobbie gets into it saying Nina can't pick a Nanny without Lulu's say so-- and that makes Nina hire Nell on the spot LOL 


Anna and Val... Val is using his deep voice to tell Anna to stay out of the past.  He starts stuttering. Won't tell her anything. They go into when she was a double agent.  Val says she either blocked it out because she feels so bad--or she is lying to him.  Anna ends up telling him she has cancer. He looks upset for a second. She begs him to tell her the secret. He won't (shocker)and she calls someone. No idea who-- oh, she called Dr. O for 'answers'. Hmmm, did Dr O work at the DVX? 

Dante and Michael being all sad sacks, drinking coffee. Michael is summarizing what Sonny and Nelle did.  Exposition. Zzzzzzzzzz

Tracy finds a syringe in Finn's room and thinks he's shooting up again. Finn says no it spilled on the carpet. He says he changed his mind to rehab. He starts laying into Tracy telling her she lives in her brother's wife's house, is lonely and has Daddy issues. Tracy throws a drink in his face. He apologizes and she says it's ok, most of it is true. She is alone. 

Liz goes into Hayden's office. She explains that she went through it with Lucky.  Later, when Tracy leaves Finn calls Hayden and says he needs her. 

Quite a Day!

Well, first a pickup truck dropped a load right in front of me...I missed most but ran over the bucket handle and my tire was flat. 2 hours for AAA to come and I ended up with my son's car and missed half my day. 

HOLY CRAP. I can't watch GH today because of the Comey hearing and the Wild Sean Spicer Press Conference.
Sorry, WAY too important! 

Ok, that's all I got-- If you watched, please summarize 

Sunday Surgery: Knights in White Satin

I know it was a big knife but she's a big sister...

I was pretty distracted this week with our 26" of snow and driving ban to really 'tune into' GH. Maybe that's why it was mostly forgettable ?? All of the weeks are running together right now--bridges, Carly yelling, guns--Morgan's death.  Two things did happen that I remember and both are going backasswards in the story. But I'll get to that later! 

We had some great moments though, so typical of this show because I'm all YES! YES! Then.. sad horn. The actors gave 100% for sure. Thank goodness 99% of them are brilliant. 

I have a green bagel left for today! We got a big bag for the week--yummy. 

WELP..Happy St. Paddy's Day

Paddy with Alberta! 

I went to the pub, got home and 2:30 thinking I could watch the rest of GH and who's on? UGH. I'm not happy--way to ruin my buzz. 

So-- I guess?
Did any of it air? 

It's back on at 2:45 maybe if the news doesn't break it down. Oh, Olivia F is on with Alexis. I wonder what Jules said in the letter. 

Ava wants the bottle from Lucy so no one will ever know she switched meds. 6 months ago. 

OJ and Anna summarizing. OJ knows a secret about Anna. She won't tell her though.

Carly goes to Sonny's to find out what's going on between them. 

Ugly Cry

Came in at 2:35.



Sam and Alexis talking about Julian and his misdeeds..and Alexis thinks it's maybe because of Olivia.  Sam says "he tried to kill you"! Alexis says well.I still should read his letter. She leaves. Liz comes in. Admires Emily. Gives Sam a gift of a memory book. 



Roger and Jake kid were adorable. Franco is doing art therapy with him. I love art therapy...I use it sometimes when the kids won't talk. He's trying to get him to draw stuff from when he was on the Island. Jake draws a door. 

Maddox says Charlotte should stay with Valentin and Lulu should have supervised visitation.  That's what the judge decides-- Lulu ugly cries all over the place. This is for 6 months until they come back and revisit the whole mess.
I don't think anyone brought up the whole Nina mess?? Because? I mean she only stole a freaking baby and took it out of the country... 

At the end: Alexis is sitting in a restaurant with Julian's letter. 

Summaries

Ava's at the PCPD to give a statement about Olivia. She summarizes her capture. Alexis comes in to summarize the whole "Julian Death". She and Ava bond a bit later.  Then they leave to find Julian. 

Dilly is eating popcorn and Kiki comes in.  They gab about Maxie a bit. She needed time to "think" about Olivia.  She is summarizing the hospital bombing, her mom getting out and Olivia. *sigh* Monica and Tracy interrupt them making out.  Tracy is mad Dillon didn't check on them. He didn't know about the hospital bomb. Oh, I guess Monica and Tracy were at the hospital when the bomb thing happened? Not that we knew that.  Dillon and Kiki go upstairs to have sex (literally). Monica and Tracy talk about what they said to each other during the bomb scare (off camera).  They toast Emily Scout.  Monica tells her she has a boyfriend (off camera). A letter comes from Larry Ashton telling Tracy to contact him. She rips it up. This has to be part of her exit story.



Sonny's on the bridge with Brit Boy still, threatening to shoot him. *sigh* Brit guy is summarizing the whole "why Olivia came to Port Charles" .  Sonny realizes he can't get anything out of him and leaves. 

Carly still got the gun on OJ in the graveyard. *sigh* Carly summarizes Morgan's life. OJ begs to be let go.  Tires squeel...Carly turns, Olivia runs. Carly catches up to her, throws her down again. Points the gun.  Sonny comes in, GIVE ME THE GUN Carly!  Carly and Sonny argue about killing Olivia. Sonny wants to have Olivia not know 'when it's coming". Oh Brother. 
Sonny says they have to have her killed so it can't be traced to them.  Carly gives Sonny the gun. "Sonny's gonna destroy you, Olivia" says Carly. Sonny bends down to snarl at her. 
Oh! DANTE walks in!! yep, he's in the graveyard.  He says "wow, you two are obeying the law for once". Olivia gets arrested.  


On the bridge, PCPD looks around. Notices a man laying at the bottom.  It's the Brit Boy.  Later they find Julian's bloody coat down there.  Ava and Alexis are sad. Jordan actually says: "No way anyone could survive the shot and then the current and frigid waters" LOL! Seriously????? 

Don't Ask, Don't Tell

I'm going to TRY to be less crabby today. We are interrupted now and then because of the blizzard. It's horrible here...we are due for up to 22 inches!! Plus we just had the wind storm last week and they are still trying to fix people's power! UGH! March is sucking! 

SO, Sam fell off the bridge and she landed on the side of the ravine thing. Julian falls off and???? AND???? I mean? So weird. 



Jake is on....Cam and Aiden are up scrubbing the toilets. Jake thinks Sam's baby is cursed.  Seems Helena told him she was when he was on the island. Then he stares into space and says "Never forget Jake and never tell' ..Liz and Franco are all  @@!!  Liz goes and gets Jake's book that....she got from Helena in April 2016. A YEAR ago.  For F sake. UGH Why didn't they do this back then!? I guess they are now going to do the whole What Happened to Jake on the Island story.
LATE LATE LATE 
Franco is going to work with Jake on art and try to figure it out. Liz won't tell Jason. 

Carly is talking to Morgan again.  Olivia just happens to go into the cemetery. OF COURSE SHE DOES.  Carly says "you are a monster"!  Olivia pulls a gun on her. They struggle, gun goes off. Carly shoots Liv. Then she holds the gun on her and wants to talk about 'murdering her son'.  Looks like she was shot in the arm...Carly points the gun at her and tells her she's going to 'balance the scales'.  Olivia pleads for her life. Carly said God must have answered her prayers so she can shoot Liv. 

Sonny is bitching to Curtis to find Olivia NOW! He finds the British Boy on the bridge and has a big gun on him.  "Where is Olivia'??!! British guy doesn't know. Sonny's mad. 

Maddox wants Jordan back. Curtis comes in with coffee for her. Oy...jealousy.  He and Curtis banter. Again. Same old sheeze. 

Lulu, Laura and Kevin: Lulu wants Kevin to do Charlotte's psyche eval. DUH, he can't he knows the family. Then Lulu begs him to find out who's doing the eval and to talk to them. Again, he can't. 

The Bomb Was a Dud.

BOMB nonsense...
Why would Dante and Jordan be in the hospital still? I mean not only that, people are walking around outside like it's not going to blow up! LOL
Franco arrives "Liz is in there"!  Sam's worried about Jason
BOMB Squad comes. Curtis tries to disarm it.  The bomb squad lets Jason and Curtis try to disarm the bomb, they take cover.
Jason walks out of the building, kisses Sam.  Bomb threat is over. LOL SO underwhelming

OMG Liz, Dante and Jordan just stand in the hospital chatting. Not evacuating....nope, just talking. That and having all the people on the sidewalk when the building might blow up makes this so stupid. 


Alexis is tied up on the bridge. Olivia calls Jules to come and get her. Jules leaves with his Big Gun.  He gets there, Olivia disarms him and then tells him she wants him to shoot Alexis. He aims the gun, and I suppose we are to think he's going to kill her? Nope, instead of turning around and shooting Olivia, he shoots Alexis' handcuff off ..tells her to run. Olivia grabs him from behind and they tussle for the gun and YEP..he falls OVER THE SIDE. 
OMG. You know everyone will think he's DEAD AND HE'LL SHOW UP LATER! 
ahahahaha. OMG!!  Just like this SISTER DID!! oh wow, how exciting!!!!



Carly and Sonny are at Morgan's grave site.  Ava calls to beg to see Avery.  Why she needs to do that, who knows. Carly didn't know Ava was out of jail. She goes to her apartment and bitches. Ava shows her a pic of Olivia. Carly now wants to find Olivia and 'make her pay"...which is exactly what she told SONNY NOT TO DO!!!! WTF? This makes no sense? Carly is all of a sudden a vigilante??? She throws OJ's glass..breaks it. Oh whatever. 

Hayden and Finn are locked in the lab-- he's detoxing.  Hayden brings him a barf bucket.  They find out they can get out and Hay says she wants him to go to rehab. He takes a leave of absence. 

WHAT A COMPLETELY HORRIBLE SHOW.  WOW. Beginning to END. WOW. I'm kinda in shock here. 

GH Weekend

General Hospital hosted it's first 'ever' convention weekend in Burbank. I seem to remember Super Soap Weekend in Orlando but I guess this is just GH. (There is a fan club weekend as well). Here are some photos for your enjoyment:

Sunday Surgery: The Big Bang Theory

Sheldon, we're going to have to take the stairs. 

By the reactions I saw on twitter, you either loved this week's shows or you hated them. Guess which category I fall into?? Ok, "hate" isn't the word, but just plain "irked" is...I've seen this all before. Bring on a villain or a character that has awesome potential and put them in a dumb hostage-kidnapping-gun-blow up scenario and hope people don't notice it's like 50 others before it. Like I said before, swap out Olivia Jerome for Heather Webber and well-- deja vu. 

I'm going to have granola because I love the crunchy goodness. 

Kirsten Storms is out again...

Daytime Confidential is reporting that Kirsten is again taking a leave from General Hospital due to personal reasons. I was actually wondering where she was -- so, there it is. 

Going Up?

Aw, such cute writers...acting like Liz and Hayden have some kind of relationship! When's the last time they talked??? Liz is all "don't be with him, he's an addict! I know my addicts"!! :eyeroll:  See down below what happened....


Sam and Alexis blabbin about Julian. OMG I just realized I don't care about him or OJ.

Speaking of Olivia, she has Ava under a gun. Which is not the scenes I wanted for these 2.  She makes Ava call Julian. 



Anna figures out Olivia put Robin in the elevator because she flashed back to the olden days when she and Liv were in there together. 
OMG OMG...LMAO ROBIN is attached to a BOMB in the elevator. I am NOT KIDDING YOU. Oh, and it wasn't Franco (Lulu, remember her?) 
Anyway, she's on some pressure tile and if she leaves, it will go off. SO, Jason takes her place. He's such a hero. I actually for the FIRST TIME liked Billy Miller in those scenes. You know I don't think he's all that but right then, talking to Anna and Robin he was cute, charming and under pressure. Hmmmm. Okay. 

The hospital is evacuating.   SO, if Jason could just stand on it, roll a heavy box on it or something!! DERP. 

Hayden and Finn managed to lock themselves into somewhere-- I don't know where they are, maybe the lab? 

Griffin is staying with patient that can't leave. 

Curtis goes  in the elevator with Jason and they go up to the roof  to meet the bomb squad. 

SO Olivia tied up Ava, made Ava call Julian and then left. THEN SHE WENT AND KIDNAPPED ALEXIS. At the hospital. When Alexis was getting the car.
OMG. SO STUPID. 

Emily Scout Morgan

Kiki goes to see Ava, wants to 'make peace"...they talk about Olivia's past. Hey, whenever Ava meets Olivia it will be too little too late. 

Hospital is on lock-down. Finn is freaking out. Brad offers him some Zen Zen. Wants Money. They argue. Finn says "how would Lucas like you blackmailing me?? Would your marriage survive??" Brad gets mad...tosses Zen Zen to him but it's contact lens solution. 



Jason with the baby. Then, Sam holds her-- "what should we name her"?? Monica comes in. "Scout is a bit plain" Sam says. Then they tell Mon her name is "Emily". 

Carly goes to see Michael. She says "Don't have anything to do with Nell" and he thinks there might be more to the story. 

Joss goes to Nell's. I guess they've developed a relationship off camera-- they are supposed to go to a concert together. Carly hasn't told Joss yet about Nell.  Nell throws Josslyn out, tells her they are not friends anymore and to go home. Josslyn doesn't know what she did wrong. 

Later, Joss goes to see Carly.  Carly doesn't want to tell her what happened but Joss figures out Sonny slept with Nell. "GROSS" she says! 

Nell goes to Floating Rib..and oh, Michael shows up.  Nell is drinking. Michael's like " You don't drink". She says: I DO NOW. Michael tells her that he gets why she wanted revenge but he won't forgive her. 

Olivia tells Anna she has Robin. Anna pushes her.  Griffin should shoot her in the knee cap to find out where Robin is but........NO. And then Anna faints.  Olivia just basically walks away because Griffin won't shoot her. 
You know, swap Olivia out for Heather and we've seen this story at least 4x before. 

Olivia gets away, goes to Ava's and Ava finds her sitting in the dark, drinking a martini. 

Olivia also planted a bomb in the elevator at GH. Or under it or something.

Windy in Rochester

Duke's face is indeed on Griffin's -- Olivia is hallucinating.  OMG.. you just have to watch it because I can't even... 

Michael and Sonny-- Michael thinks Nell is bad-- but Sonny did lie. 

Nell and Carly. Nell gets out letters her dad wrote to Carly. She whines that Carly wouldn't help until she needed a kidney. How Carly got the bright idea to ask FRANK for one, we don't know. UGH. 

Felix saves Jules from British Bad Guy. 



Nina was spectacular saying she love Valentin. Now, Diane tries to say Val is unfit as a dad because he "Kidnapped" Charlotte.
Um..HELLO..knock knock-- Nina STOLE A BABY and has been in a mental institution. So..DUH. 

Jane Elliot is leaving GH according to Daytime Confidential. I knew she wanted to retire. Still sad. 

WE HAVE TERRIBLE winds here and it interrupted GH at 2:47.  81 mph !! I was driving in it. I saw 2 giant trees on the road and a sign blew right past me. It was awful. Scary. 

I Lied

So I ended up watching yesterday's show. 
I am still in denial. This is why people in the biz LAUGH THEIR ASSES off at soaps.
WTH did I watch? How embarrassing...how badly written can you BE? Seriously, I love camp as much as the next guy but that--was NOT CAMP. It was just stupid.  
I'm so furious that this is what Tonja Walker came back for. Isolation, stupid convos with people for MONTHS leading to-- the fact that she's crazy and thinks she can get Duke back by using HAIR or..his son's body. 
I would have rather seen her interact with EVERYONE and especially her sister. Even if they put them together in one or two scenes now, doesn't matter. Lost opportunity. 

Anyway, today, I bet we see Olivia "see Duke" when she looks at Griffin...Ian B will be back as a hallucination. 

Yeah Us. 

Taking a Break

If you want to see him shirtless, there he is 

Yep... I can't even with this latest Olivia stuff. Griffin will be taken hostage by her and tied to a table shirtless.
Now, so many people are: Griffin is shirtless! I don't care if he's naked. I'm not watching another hostage story on GH. They are ALL THE SAME...... they are ALL STUPID and Olivia already took 2 people hostage. 
Can't support the writing. If this is all you could think of when you get someone as popular as TW back to play a character, then something is wrong. Olivia should have been interacting with everyone since the day she came to town. Maybe be Brad's adoptive mother, maybe be Griffin's bio mother-- maybe maybe maybe... if if if .. No because yet again she's stuck in a damn room blabbing to one other character. 

So, let me know how Hillary B Smith does during the custody hearing. 

Duke's Hair

Diane and Nora were cute. Diane didn't know it was her and started talking about a case she had and how this woman was coming from Llandview -- which of course, is Nora. The bartender in this scene was HOT! WOWZA..really hot.  Diane tells her about how she's going to win this custody case. Lulu and Laura come in, so does Valentin and Diane finds out she's Nora. 

Nina's still all jealous of Anna. She has flashbacks. Then she says she's not going to the custody hearing. 


Anna and Dante.... Anna's trying to leave the hospital. They talk about Olivia...Griffin tells her not to leave. Yada yada




OLIVIA kidnapped Robin. She's in the basement that Luke had in his house. OMG how boring. Kidnap-- really? Again? She talked to Julian while he was handcuffed to the radiator-- now it's Robin's turn. 
Olivia says she has to 'Have balance' and wants to "bring Duke back" . Wonder if she knows he was cremated.  And....Olivia finds the door to the lab (which was destroyed in 2001 but whatever) and says she knows Helena brought Stavvy back to life so Robin can use the machines to bring back Duke. Robin is like, DUH..Stavros wasn't actually dead and they just kept him 'alive' until they could start his brain again. 
OMG this is so bad...Ok, Olivia knows Duke was cremated but has his HAIR and wants Robin to use it for his DNA. Now, come on. Clones start out as babies. So ?? Does she want a baby Duke? She's not stupid? UGH I don't know. Anyway, Robin wants to help her but knocks the hair vial out of her hand to the ground. Olivia freaks out.
That was one of the WORST scenes writing wise I've ever witnessed. It was just BIZARRE. 

PS. The lab under GH was destroyed and sealed in 2001. So. Whatever. 
Oh, and another thing, Olivia had NO CLUE that Robin would even be in Port Charles, right? But she had this plan all along? Who was she going to get to run the lab? 
UGHHHH HOLES!! 

Later, she realizes there is a piece of Duke alive! It's Griffin!! She gets in the elevator with him and tomorrow we see him strapped down in the lab. Oh For F sake. 

Franco and Liz are in the parking garage. Franco tells Liz that Jake said Sam had a curse on her from Helena.  Then they find Jules in the trunk.  He goes to GH. 

Sunday Surgery: It's The Writing, Stupid

Hmmmmm,wonder if Nell has that bra on right now? 

I don't even know where to start. I'm going to launch into one of the biggest rants you've ever seen. This week was one hot damn mess, all brought to you by people that can't be bothered to keep a story straight, get history right OR make the finale of a long arc exciting. 

And...let's be clear: I love this show. I've watched since the seventies. I wouldn't put myself though this if I didn't. The actors are amazing--and it's worth the watch to get a nugget of gold now and then. This doesn't mean I'm going to gush over it when that praise is not due. With all the writing talent in all the world, I expect way more than what I'm seeing. Soaps need to evolve with the times. Soaps also need to honor and respect history because we as soap fans count on that. Following multiple plots and waiting for the clues to come together is what we live for. So, don't be all sloppy with us, it won't fly. 

You'd better just get a bloody Mary or 12 and sit on down for this one....

Flaming Mess

Nell tells Carly her last name: Benson. Carly says: OMG you're Frank Benson's daughter.  Nell says that her dad loved Carly but she never loved him back. Carly said that Frank was a dead-beat who abandoned her adoptive mother and she and left them in debt. Nell says that Frank wrote to Carly for money. Carly says "yes I got those and threw them away". Nell says, yes until you needed a kidney then you demanded one from him!!
This makes no sense AT ALL.  
Anyway, Nell said Carly doesn't care about anyone but herself. She said she slept with Sonny because Carly slept with Bobbie's husband.  Carly smacks her. She and Sonny leave. Carly still hates Sonny for sleeping with Nell. (Nell didn't tell her she didn't really sleep with him). Michael is mad too and leaves. 

BY THE WAY: John Durant was Carly's biological father-so Frank wasn't. Ergo, how did the kidney just "match"??  He was played by Corbin Bernsen.  The only way this could have made a little sense is if Nell was HIS daughter, and then the DNA of the kidney matched and Jax found her. It would also make sense on the revenge part of Sonny because John died during the whole Sonny/Manny story. As it stands now this story makes NO sense. NONE. 

Robin tells Anna about Sam being in a coma.  Anna asks about Robin's HIV status and having a baby. She says she's on a protocol.  Later, Jordan comes by and tells Anna that Olivia may be alive. 

Julian is in the trunk of Olivia's car. Griffin walks by: Can I help you with something??  She says "you look familiar" ...they talk and she figures out he's Duke's son. She gets mad at Jules for not telling her.  Olivia then stands in the parking garage talking to Julian in the trunk for eons. Like she'd do that. Anyone could walk in!! UGH!! 

Alexis asks if she can go to the bank and get into the safety deposit box.  Jordan is going to check. 
Monica calls Alexis and says their granddaughter is ok--but Sam isn't. Alexis goes to GH. She goes to see Sam. Jason is sad that Sam is in a coma. Sad, sad.  Alexis talks to Sam. Then Jason is back at her bedside. Yabbing away. I really hate bedside scenes like this. SO overdone. I've seen probably 800 over the years. I'm sure JaSam fans love it though. I didn't even listen to what he was saying.  Alexis brings in the baby and Jason sets her on Sam's stomach and her eyes open.  She talks-- and she and Jason get all teary eyed over Scout. (Sam calls her Scout so I'm guessing they'll keep the name? ) 

Ok..welp Sunday Surgery is going to be nutty because I'm so so mad at the Nell story, I can't tell you!! 

I'm Only Here For...

The Carly and Nell stuff. If that proves boring or if they chop it up as per usual, I will be OUT--doing some report writing and then napping. I have no patience for GH right now. 
Carly blabs at Nell, Sonny tells Michael he slept with her on Thanksgiving.  He said "She left a trail of Flowers and a Bra"
YES. HE SAID "SHE LEFT A TRAIL OF FLOWERS AND A BRA".. that was actual dialog. 
Anyway, they fight..go back and forth..yada yada
Carly says: "You are either deeply damaged or psychotic"... Carly said something about her parents and Nell yells: I'm damaged because of YOU"!!! Which I guess we'll find out about tomorrow. 

Tracy takes out Hammy and Finn out for a celebration dinner to say thanks! Hayden is still mad at Ham for being an addict.  He leaves to make a phone call. Hayden tells Tracy about Ham being an addict. 

Laura wakes up in her SUV...she's at JFK lol--Kevin is the one that surprises her at the door.  I have NO idea how he knows she's there. None.  Oh! Laura texted him... and he found her with a "find my phone" app. 
Derp. 

Sam is in the operating room..she's hemorrhaging.  "she's critical" says Liz. YOU THINK SHE'LL DIE?????????/ DO YOU?????? Anyway, she goes into ICU. She's in a coma. Tomorrow Jason talks to her, Alexis finds out. 

Franco tells Jake stuff went wrong with the baby.  Tells him Sam is sick. Jake says "Sam has a very, very bad curse on her". 

What Lies Beneath

Olivia threatening Julian. You know she's not gonna do it. *sigh*

Curtis and Alexis go to tell Jordan Olivia is alive. They tell her to call Olivia and pretend she's having a drinking crisis.  Olivia figures it out though. She tells Julian she doesn't really want GH she want what "Lies Beneath" which I'm taking is the old Cassadine lab? 

Liz is back to work but Monica says Franco won't ever be back.  He's out of a job due to cuts. He's going to apply for a janitor job tho-- just to be close to Liz. 


Michael and Noodle-- she didn't tell him yet because Monica interrupted.  She tells him she's going away (please please). Michael says he's going with her! She says GOOD Idea!! We can talk alone.



Jason, Sam and baby STILL at the bottom of the ravine. I guess the ambulance went the wrong way.  Um, where's his phone? He was on it..? Why isn't he on with paramedics? This is just....and don't tell me it's a "soap"?? TV shows do disasters all the time. 
So.. get this. Sam's bleeding, I guess still with her jeans on and Jason carries her and the baby up the ravine (OFF camera of course). The ambulance is there (we see the lights) and then Sam passes out.  They get to GH...

Sonny and Carly..blah blah. Sonny says Nell is trying to set them both up. Carly doesn't believe it.  Then she kinda does. Whatever. She's mad because Sonny didn't tell her right away and Nell wormed her way into their family even farther. 
END: Carly opens the door and Michael and Nell are standing there.
