Sunday Surgery: WU-HOO

 

If I were a religious person, I'd start this blog out by saying: Dearly Beloved ... let us pray. BUT! I'll just say this: what a sloggy week. Again. The scripts are thinned to a razor's edge and I'm thinking they didn't want any MAJOR things advancing because of the strike so... here we are. 

I'm Wu-Hooing because this was my saving joy of the week. 

I also need to talk to the editing department because it appears that they too may be on strike. It was night for court, night in the Savoy and yet daytime, bright sun at the Metro and pool. I hate that stuff lol. 

SMASH AND GRAB OF THE WEEK:  Wu finds Sam's microphone and does the following: Gets rid of it by throwing it in the pool, stops the stupid bracelet story by getting Gladys to drop the charges and looks fabulous doing it all. Alas, she was on for one day, in the last 20 minutes of the show and that's about how it's all going. 

MAN OF THE WEEK: Zeke, pot stirrer. 

STUPID CONVO OF THE WEEK: In a week of dumb conversations, this was just RIGHT ON TOP! Portia (who lied about Trina's parentage for decades) is upset and leaving Curtis because he kissed Jordan and didn't TELL HER. Um.. girl, just a minute ago you felt guilty and were ready to step out in front of a bus to get your man back and now...THIS? We've been in this Jordan/Curtis/Portia dance for YEARS now.. they are all like 50 and acting like they are 10. So.. Don't care. 

AVA: Girl.....you gotta tell him, what happened!? 

Nina: Like you won't believe this but Ned Quartermaine thinks he's a singer from the 90s and I'm off the hook! Oh, I am also throwing my engagement ring down the drain to make Sonny think I lost it, so there's that. 

Ava: Latte? 

Nina: Of course. 

PCPD BUSINESS OF THE WEEK: First Laura asks Jordan to be Deputy Mayor when she finally leaves for the Chechnya adventure (12 years in the making). Jordan is all "CAN I DO THIS THOUGH? I don't know"!! When we alllllllllllll saw that Laura asked her to be Deputy Mayor when she was in Greenland. This is one reason I think scripts were hurried and just slap-happy. It wasn't that long ago. Anyway, Taggert is getting the commish position and fk Mac I guess? While I'm happy for Taggert, I would have rather seen him just join the force. We'll probably see him as much as we do Mac so it's a moot point. 

NO OF THE WEEK: Austin talks Ava into getting Sonny's nanny fired so that they can plant someone in there to gather whatever the hell they are doing from him. DIDN'T MICHAEL JUST DO THIS WITH DEX? How did that turn out? Why the FK is Ava going along with this stupidity for 2 dolts she's known for a second? My God, she'd run to Sonny in a heartbeat. Period. I do not want this for her. Nope. 

DROOPY DREW OF THE WEEK:  Judge Kim threw the book at him and gave him 3 years at Pentonville. Ol' Drew was stunned. I mean WE HAD A DEAL!! Just when I thought they were going to haul his ass off to jail, Zeke got him 7 days to get his affairs in order. :eyeroll: How long is THIS going to last? Oh! And the kicker?? Drew is concerned about Carly's FINE so he OFFERS HER AURORA!! AHAHA. She even asks about Scout and he says "She's too young to CARE"!! My ONLY hope is that Sam kicks him into a pit like she did with Sonny. 

POTENTIAL OF THE WEEK?? We got a mind-numbing table-talk from Lucy, Maxie and Sasha about Cody crushing on Sasha and Deception tidbits. It lasted 2 long days but there was a light at the end of the tunnel: Lucy wants to marry Marty which might lead to some fun scenes and Marty gets a text from his ex-wife. He pays one wife $50K and then the other one texts. My HOPE is, they start to bring his ex-wives on and they are AMC actresses. Marcy Walker. (Liza), Cady McClain (Dixie). I predict that Jackson Montgomery might come to PC to rep one of his ex-wives who wants more money. Not sure. It's all just hopeful speculation. 

EGG UPDATE OF THE WEEK: Welp, Molly's eggs aren't viable ...ergo they can't be harvested. What WILL they do? (cough...Krissy...surrogacy...cough) 

SCENE OF THE WEEK: I KNEW when Tracy was all abrupt with Leo in the Horse House, we'd get a perfect moment between these two. Didn't disappoint. I also loved it when she asked what Leo knew about her. He said "You're mean". LOL. Spectrum has no filter! 

Last sighting: June 16th 

MILLOW MARROW UPDATE OF THE WEEK: Almost forgot!! Well, I guess Willow's still in recovery ...and like maybe 3 days have passed since the 3 weeks ago we saw the transfer? SLOWEST THING EVER. Also, Dr O is no where to be seen (KG tweeted she's back in her home state and not on the show lately). She gave her the MARROW FOR THIS and...??? 

WEEK IN A WUBSHELL: 

Trina finds out that Curtis kissed Jordan ...and she's not happy

Portia confronts Jordan about the kiss

Laura asks Jordan to be Deputy Mayor; Jordan asks Taggert to take her job

Spin goes in the pool after his microphone

Selena Wu ends the feud between Gladys and Cody 

Krissy and Sam talk about Molly 

Molly's eggs are not viable 

Ned thinks he's Eddie Maine, escapes the hospital

Nina thinks she's off the hook with the truth 

Lucy says Deceptor is going really well; wants to marry Marty

Idiot Drew gets sentenced to 2 years at Pentonville

Carly cries

Austin tells Ava to get rid of Sonny's nanny and install her own 

Greg thinks Tracy is mean. 
So does Leo. 

WUBS TWO CENTS:  In a world where soaps were built on young lovers having angst and going on the run, the most popular soap couple is just languishing on this show. The whole "Victor Box" was such a let down I can't even tell you. Spencer is obsessed with his baby brother and it's just sad. Meanwhile, the other couple Jex basically has zex.I'n not a Dex fan but Jex does have a following and there's potential in that. Hell, he's IN THE MOB!  Don't even get me started on living arrangements. Spencer is so rich he could buy them all a house. Beach house on the lake. Let the raves begin. But nope. *sigh* ... just *sigh* 

As for the whole "Baddie on the horizon" with Mason/Austin?? We've been down this road 100x before with Sonny. I'm reminded of the Balkin with this one. Oy VEY. We also ALL KNOW SONNY NEVER GOES DOWN FOR ANYTHING!! Or if he does he's pardoned by the mayor so-- COME ON!! Do something DIFFERENT!! 

One more thing: Carly and this SEC sheeze? Seriously?? You seriously let her YELL AT THE JUDGE and not even get contempt of court. She even stomped her foot!! LOL.. And for those of you saying "YEAH! Drew is going away for 3 years"?? Um, listen to what Zeke said: They told him Drew could always get out "early" if he behaves. SO, there ya go. Once his Hallmark movie is over, he's back in the game. In the meantime, we'll plan for Nina's wedding at which time Eddie Maine will sing their first dance song--remember who he is and spill the beans. Everyone can hate on Nina and Carly and Sonny will probably have zex in the limo. (hey, it's been done before!!)

AND THAT'S THAT!! I liked Wu's part this week. Spin was half-way enjoyable and Tracy had some nice scenes. Thank you for putting TJ and Molly into a story. I've been crabbing about that for years and yes, I'm grateful.  See? I can be nice!!
