Sunday Surgery (sort of...)

 

Well, if you tuned in and expected the brilliance of Karen's Sunday Surgery you are out of luck. These are my thoughts for the week. I dont have pretty pictures like she does, so you will have to close your eyes and imagine...

As always, this drivel is my opinion and observations. It's not meant to be hurtful. I will, however, try to be a little snarky.

As for food today? Portabella Florentine Eggs Benedict. I dont know if you can get this all over, but it is my favorite brunch when I get to go out. (I can get it here in Vegas.) Yeah, I'm picky like that but it is soooooo good prepared that way. 

Monday

I am surprised Vernee Watson isnt on more. She has such a long storied career in Television and is a great actress. The first time I saw her was on a sitcom called Carter Country in 1977. Which, incidentally, was the first year I started watching GH.

There are so many characters where you just wonder "why are they still on the show?" Michael is one of them. My list is endless...

I admit the whole drugging of someone was wrong, but I also admit that it was a somewhat original storyline for this show, so I give props to writers for trying something different for a change.

I like Joss and Cam as a couple. Plus, they have proven themselves as really good actors. Would love to see more screen time and the writers to go somewhere with this. It's a shame they don't do "lovers on the run" storylines anymore.

I've said this before. I'll bring it up again. They can give Michael a small storyline. Let him have intimacy problems and have to see a therapist. In therapy, it can be revealed he has PTSD from the incident in jail. And let him work through it. Many men who are raped repress the incident until later in life when it becomes an issue that needs to be addressed.

Is Esme really Esme? Will it be revealed she is the daughter of someone on canvas? I know I have heard Ryan as the father, which is juicy, but I bet it is someone out of left field. I think her current moniker is fake too.

Tuesday

There was a background extra at Kelly's. Just thought I would mention this historic moment.

I voted Ned and Olivia as best couple in Karen's year end poll but got overruled. I like them because they have real problems and real storylines, like Leo for example. No aliens, baby switches, brain tumors, evil twins, etc. They are relatable to us viewers. 

Tracy is flawless. I like her now that she is off canvas. She is now a "special guest star" in my opinion and gets the royal treatment whenever she is on. Isnt it time Jane got a lifetime achievement award or something?

Dante looks lost. And I mean the actor too. They dont know what to do with him without Lulu. Chase said it best, "And now you're stuck in neutral"

Genie is rocking that pantsuit. Karen would approve.

Brad and Britt. Not their best exchange, but good to see them together nonetheless.

It was a nice wedding. Again, it felt real. This is a couple that should last a long time. They need some stability on this show.

Was the last wedding in the Q mansion Sean and Tiffany? I dont know. Comment below if you remember. Wait. I think it was Luke and Tracy?

Wednesday

Did anyone else get giddy with Finola and Charles in a scene together?

You know what's sad? When Roger is in a scene, it takes me 2-3 seconds to remember what character he is. 

I get where they are going with the Sonny/Carly story. Showing angst, betrayal, trust, rebirth, etc. But I just am not investing in it. I'm ready to move on. 

Tracy and the Ice Princess seems tacked on. Not thoroughly planned out. Something for Jane to do while she is working on the show. I know most of us would watch her read a phonebook (which they no longer publish) but where are they going with this?

Anna literally arrived at the Qs in seconds. Did she teleport like Star Trek?

Hasn't Luke at one time sold off chips of the Ice Princess to pay debts, etc.? How's my memory on that? Exactly how much of the diamond is left? And the more you chip away, wouldn't the value go down?

Willow doesn't have a birth certificate? Gee, you think this is going to come back to haunt her? I think we all know where this is going.

I have to credit Charles (cant spell his last name). I never thought I would be able to see him as anything but Mr. Sheffield. But with his age (and he aged very well) and silver hair, I totally see him as Victor. A welcome addition.

Thursday

Everything all of you said about the Sam recast is true. Just sayin...

The first time I saw Wes in an acting role was in a really good movie called Latter Days. He played a shallow gay man in LA who fell in love with a closeted guy who happened to be Mormon. (you cant make this stuff up). He was very good in the role. But, then again it was a different script and different director. So the guy CAN act. It's like Oscar winners who make a clunker of a movie. It all depends on the script and director and overall situation.

Friday

Worst... Episode... Ever... (and you know why)

As much as we all know this storyline is ridiculous, I hope we can agree there was some good acting on Friday. Starting with Finola. And Kristina. There has to be a silver lining in this mess.

I dont think I can add to everything you guys wrote on Friday's blog. I'm sure throughout this week there will be more to say about this episode and storyline. So, I will leave it up to all of you to have at it.

Enjoy your Sunday everyone!
