Sunday Surgery: Rude Awakening

 

Such a frustrating week for me!! GH can be so good, then so uneven and just plain plodding along that it baffles the mind. I felt like Thursday and Friday were just "oh, let's do some narrative fillers for now". 

I think we should have some of Dante's breakfast, don't you? Let's give it a go! 

warning: I'm pretty scathing in this review. If you'd rather just have a nice, relaxing read you can skip it! 

NUTSHELL FOR THOSE IN A HURRY: 

Trina and Kai argue 

Brennan offers Lucky a job

Funeral Speeches are touching 

Ava and Lucas bond 

Alexis finds one of Sam's Wills--is it the most recent? 

Laura is MIA all week

Lulu wakes up and starts walking like Lazarus 

Lulu is not shown again Thurs/Friday

Elizabeth gets called into Portia's office for medication 'error' that killed Sam 

Liz is not shown again Thurs/Friday 

Kai and Trina spar 

Boxing: Lucky and Sonny; Dex and Kai 

Jason moves into the Qs 

Sasha might be pregnant. 

Ava's trial is about to start

That's how much I feel like doing the blog this week!! The funeral was touching and there were many speeches. Yes, people were missing but I think they packed them in best they could. After all the turmoil of Sam's actual death and aftermath, the funeral was just "there" for me. Yes, great speeches all around. I did like that the only other scenes were with Lucas and Ava. 

WHINY WENCH: You know who I'm talking about--Ms. Kristina! My goodness she's getting a LOT of screen time to suss out her problems. Conversations with everyone about her pain and burying Sam and ADELA. (Said it about 33 times this week). OH! Sonny even offered her a job at Corinthos' Coffee. Someone slap me, but what about Charlie's? Do we just forget it? The LGBTQIA plus center? Maybe Krissy will be the new mob boss. Anything to stop her from being so insufferable would be great news. 

IT WALKS:  I don't think I've ever seen such a laughable coma awakening in my life. Maybe in the 70's when soaps just did whatever. To do this now is ... crazy. Lulu 'wakes up" in her Lakeside bed and... sits up. SITS UP.  Looks at her scar. That scar looks like a scar I got 20 years ago. LOL. You'd think she'd have a monitor on her somewhere. You'd think she wouldn't be able to SWING HER LEGS OFF THE BED and flounder around. She didn't have a feeding tube and she didn't have a catheter. Lord Help us all. Cyrus being there and Laura not was baffling. We are to believe he has enough time to talk to the doctors and bypass Laura. Lulu has a newly made flashback of a scene with her and Cyrus. Alexa did a great job and captured Lulu's spirit for sure. 

THE BIGGEST ISSUE:  Regarding Lulu's awakening, GH has GOT to hire someone new for editing and continuity. I'm so tired of big things happening then being dropped for days. The momentum is just gone. Lulu was last shown perched half-way up to her bed. That was it. Elizabeth was told that Sam was given the wrong medication. Then? Nothing for 2 days. We got a lot of Sonny's Gym though!! People just sitting around talking about whatever! Just drives me insane. 

Q HOUSE IS NOW A COMMUNE: Yes, I'm happy Jason is moving in. I love giant houses with lots of characters (see Llanfair) living there. The Q property now has almost everyone and Yuri living there. Monica? We think she's still upstairs. I have no idea why they don't recast her, even if it is temporary and Leslie can come back at some point. I'm still hoping we get every single person that lives on the property to sit at one long table and Sasha has to serve them all. By the way, you'd think we'd see more staff!! 

LUCKLESS: *sigh* Here's what should have happened: Lucky is brought back and he has the operation. That way he had a purpose and could have at least evaluated his life from his bed until all this crazy whining about town came around. He played poker for weeks, got back to town, cried...wandered around and is just a sad-sack. Brennan offers him a job with the WSB. Probably the best thing he's been offered in years and he's still just a weepy-wart. Really one of the worst comebacks in ages. 

SCORPIO BONDING: Sasha gets a letter from Robert. Mac and Felicia make the nice Aunt and Uncle. I'm loving that Sasha has roots in PC now. I think SM is a great actress and maybe her character will get some more growth. OH! And she took out a pregnancy test on Friday. That was about the only exciting thing that's happened. Scorpio-Q baby on the way! 

MOLLY'S BIRTHDAY: I mention this because people forgot and Isaiah stepped in. Is there anyone this guy doesn't have chemistry with!!? Kristina did give Molly a present and I'm shocked it wasn't a locket with "Adela" written on it! 

THANK YOU FOR: 

Ric Lansing. 
Ric and Ava Scenes

NEWS: Just broke yesterday that Chad Duelly is leaving the show. He did it on IG and it was very abrupt to be sure. Then again, he's had to have temp recasts for awhile. Maybe Robert Adamson will fill in (he's been the replacement). Michael is just getting the good stuff! UPDATE: WELP! Frank V wrote a tweet saying that "Michael" won't be recast. Chad will air into the new year. 

That's all, folks! Sorry I couldn't complain more but did you really want to hear what I thought of the Gio/Trina scenes? Nah. The show better pick up some pace next week. The trial could be interesting, especially with Rick and Maura doing their thing. I see Cyrus is still at Lulu's bedside. *sigh* Is she going to keep waking up, get stronger and no one knows but him? I think Sasha and Brook Lyn will be PG at the same time. The Qs can stock up on pickles and ice cream. Will Alexis find the other Will we saw? Is that another Will? We shall see! 

NOTE: New shows only Monday-Wednesday. Thanksgiving is a repeat and sports on Friday. 

Have a great Sunday

CHEERS!
