Sunday Surgery: Ode To Joy

 

Well, the real world interrupted GH almost every day this week-- especially for us 2pm/est people. I get it but it still made for a choppy week. 

We all got what we wanted and according to multiple sources, Peter has indeed, left the building. (Wes even posted a photo of him literally, leaving the building). When Anna left Peter alone after he 'died' I was skeptical. And lord knows, it doesn't mean that someday, somehow he won't be back. 

For now, it's champagne and fun. Grab a glass and let's go-go

Robert said it best: 

"Dead, definitely. Gone? I don't know about that. I see him sitting on your shoulder dripping doubt into your ear. All the while he's got this...shadow that he's draped around your neck with regret."

And  KUDOS to the dialog writers this last week-- good stuff was written all the way around the canvas. 

GIANT GOOD LUCK OF THE WEEK: You're running in a foreign forest, halfway across the world and who shows up to LET YOU INTO THEIR CAR?? Well.. MAMA!! While really unbelievable, I'm happy it was Felicia who got to Maxie first. Shame on everyone telling her she couldn't go. SHE'S THE AZTEC PRINCESS, BITCHES! 

SCENES OF THE WEEK:  Peter's head being bashed in by Felicia and Anna's subsequent letting him die in the snow. No ambulance is coming for you. FH and yes, Wes did a good job in this scene. No histrionics, just good old drama. 

PETER IS DEAD PARTY OF THE WEEK: Obrect came through with the booze and most of the hospital toasted his demise. Twitter had a great hashtag of this and I think it would have trended if not for the news interruptions. 

HEARTBREAK/JOY OF THE WEEK:  "I'll be her mommy, you'll be her mama" Maxie says to Brook Lynn.  Such good stuff. Loved all the acting here. Brook Lynn has been such a good addition to the cast. I'm also liking she and Chase. Let them stay at the Aussie house for a bit. 

OLD SCHOOL MAGIC OF THE WEEK: Wow.. Robert and Anna just being their charming selves. "You're so weird" Anna laughs. *sigh*  BTW, I like their friendship, not sure if the romance thing would work for me right now. 

iPHONE PLAN OF THE WEEK: So, after all this, Trina is going to have her phone switched out by Esme and when the video is seen, she'll be blamed? But..IT'S NOT HER PHONE--so?? I don't get it. She'll know it's not her phone in like 45 seconds when her contacts don't come up. Unless I missed Esme downloading all her info on it? It makes no sense to me. Oh well. She should have hacked her IG Reels and uploaded it THERE. But who am I other an old viewer that knows nothing of socials? 

THROW MONEY AT THIS KID OF THE WEEK: WOW. LOVED these scenes. What talent. What Cassadine bravado oozing through. No, certainly not Nikolas. We saw Spencer just rise above and kick his father right in the ass. I really wish Tyler was back because these vibes are way more brother to brother than father to son. TC could match his anger beat for beat. 

CRAP FRIEND OF THE WEEK: First off, Joss and Trina live together in the same damn room 24-7. Showing them at Kelly's acting like they just ran into each other? No. PLEASE get a dorm set. It's so needed. Anyone that's had a roomie in one of those hell-holes knows what I mean. Joss needs to check herself because she's not making the situation with Ez any better. Yes, she's got her number but by making Trina feel bad about every move she's made is not going to do the trick. Be better. Set the bitch up and get on with it. 

GOOD FRIEND OF THE WEEK: Sam and Liz... Sam tells her no matter what their kids are brothers and she has her back. I LOVED their Jason scenes where they drank together on the docks. Kelly and Becky play off each other very well too--so keep this going.  By the way, I think Liz' hair looking like junk most of the time is by script choice. Like..something is wrong in Webberville. 

RELIEF OF THE WEEK: Sonny tells Carly she can have the house. It. Is Done. Sonny said "you and Donna" can live in the house. No Avery mention. Maybe he finally gets that Avery is Ava's daughter.??

DRUNK DIALING OF THE WEEK: Hey..Nina..I got no one else, where you aaaaaaaaaat??? Reminded me of every frat boy ever. 

WE ALMOST HAD IT ALL OF THE WEEK: Oh damn it. Shawn is moving to the West Coast, leaving Alexis behind at the paper. I really wanted these two to reconnect. Now.. it's not going to happen. 

SPECIAL NOTE OF THE WEEK: This ...this right here. Ava was superb in these scenes and said all the right things. As I've said, Maura has a son with ASD. Perfection. Thanks to Pier54Podcast.com ..give them a listen! 

THE MOST I DON'T CARE STORY OF THE WEEK: Yep. DO NOT CARE where Willow is from, who her real parents/mother is--nothing. I really don't. So. That's all I have to say on that subject. 

SECOND MOST I DON'T CARE STORY OF THE WEEK: Sasha buying coke at Kelly's. Meh. She and Brando ..meh. Just meh. meh. meh. It's a nothing burger. While I appreciate the Lucy inclusion and the Deception Co. part, that's neither here nor there. We could be doing so much more with that. 

WUBSHELL WEEK: 

Victor's guy in Switzerland failed to stop everyone from getting Peter

Peter dies in the snow after being hit in the head by Felicia; Anna watches him fade away

News of Peter's death greatly relieves Port Charles

Maxie comes for Louise; says she's calling her Bailey Louise and that Brook Lynn is always her second Mama

Esme gets ready to unleash the zex footage after switching Trina's phone out

Who's driving Liz mad? Finn thinks it might be her kids

Sasha buys coke before going to Niagara Falls with Brando

Sonny and Nina hook up after he gets sloshy at Charlie's

Drew and Carly connect because..well... #GH 

Shawn is moving to the West Coast 

Spencer tells Nikolas to FK right off

Sonny lets Carly have the house and divorce will proceed 

Laura figures out her secretary/assistant is working with Victor 

Oh, Port Charles had a heat-wave. Not sure if it's Cassadine related or not. 

NEWS: NuNuJordan announced:  Tanisha Harper will play the next Jordan. Not sure why we need her character but here we are. Real Andrews is also coming back as Taggert so I guess the whole Trina isn't your daughter story will continue.  Sean Blakemore (Shawn) is leaving GH. When the Twitter timeline went crazy, the actor took to his account and told everyone it was his choice to leave for 'other projects'. He's been out in prime time for awhile so I can't blame the guy. Damn it. :sobbing: 

SCOOPS: Diane is jelly of Alexis and Harmony's friendship; Victor faces the wrath of 2 of PC's best most baddest ladies; Anna and Laura; Carly, Sam and Olivia plan a get away. See all spoilers on Daytime Confidential. 

That's all I have in me for this week. Like I said, with my being out Monday and all the interruptions from horrible news, it was just not the week I wanted it to be. Peter's death should have been something grand. I didn't feel that; it was a whimper. Without Finola in there, it would have been really a nothing-burger.  We lose Shawn and gain Jordan; good thing? Nina and Sonny are intriguing but I'm so tired of the 'guilt' thing. I wish they'd let Carly just be alone for awhile. She doesn't need to bounce to Drew asap. (she could also go on a much needed vacation). The only story I really want to see is what's happening to Elizabeth. Maybe a bit of the Victor-Cassadine Clan building. With the heat wave I guess it's Weather Machine Time again? 

Have a great Sunday.
