Such a lackluster week I can't even begin to care but I will try JUST FOR YOU!! I am thinking it will be a short one, but who knows. My brain might spin things out.
Let's grab a Cat's Eye Cocktail and hunker down -- Here we GO GO
JOSS THE SHARK: Oh they played this ALL wrong. We never should have seen her go in and do whatever she did to the network so they could win the bid. It should have been a surprise at the end of the bidding. BUT alas, we got Joss in full spy-gear bending some wires and Hudson changing the numbers. Yes, seeing the looks on everyone's faces when she walked in was good but imagine if we didn't know about it. Missed opportunity. Should I go into all the reasons why this whole thing is a farce and we really don't care about the Sonny/Joss thing? Nah, you know what I'm going to say. Even her scenes with Baines were dull. The blazer didn't even fit. On and on.
HIGHLIGHT OF MY MONTH: Wu --HOO!! SO good to see these two!! Brad is embracing his Wu and I'm here for it. Now, will they be seen again or just toddled off to a closet? I fear they won't be around and I'll just have to write fan fic for the whole Clan. BUT! I loved it while it lasted.
STALKER BOUQUET: Welp, Quinn showed up. Someone was watching outside the window while Trina was getting ready. Was it him? If it IS him that would be pretty dumb so he has to be a red herring. Kai remains one of the most dull characters on this show. Also see: we heard about Emma and Gio's new apartment so much I was just tuning out. Things heated up on Friday with Quinn offering Trina a ride home when her car wouldn't start. He took her to meet his 'sister' and opened the door to a romantic hide-away. I'm predicting with about 98% certainty that this was a set up by Kai for his 'date night'. If I'm wrong, I will publish a RETRACTION ala The Invader.
BUGGY: Ric got a bug into Hudson's briefcase. Let's hope he hears something worth listening to--I don't have high hopes though.
LULU LAWSUIT: So, Willow's suing Lulu for defamation and girl--haven't you heard about discovery??? Um, you're guilty AF and... you're going to pursue this? Okay.. whatever. An eagle-eyed viewer on Bluesky pointed out that Monet Mitchell is listed up there. Is she Willow's attorney? Did we even see them talking? I thought Alexis' law office couldn't even rep her given the conflict of interest? Oh, wait. Yeah, don't really care. (her legal name is Lesley Lu btw)
P--EYEBALLS: Well, JOE is going to figure this all out people!! That's right--he's tying together Brennan, Sidwell, paralytic drugs, Willow, Drew and Nina! Watch out!
I DO NOT CARE: That's all, that's the summary. I did see that guy behind her and think: HEY! Is that Taggart ??! She's trying to get Jason to sign her ipad and dupe him into turning the company over to Tracey. We all know he's not going to fall for that ish. :eyeroll:
AU NATURAL: Seeing Jane just give up the make up makes me happy because when you're sick, you don't even try!! Loved her scenes with Jason and here's hoping the Jason/ELQ thing has legs. Also see: LOVE NED.
EPIC EMMA: There wasn't any doubt that Friday's highlight was Emma laying into Joss and reading her for the nepo-baby that she is. It was a sight to behold and if you're going to do any clip watching, I suggest this one.
ANOTHER NEWBIE: After Britt forced the entire party to go to Lucas' house, this guy bought Britt a cocktail. He has an Australian accent. He'll be "Jude" that we heard about. Aren't you excited?
WEEK IN A WUBSHELL:
Ric will represent Lulu in the whole litigation mess.
Willow's not backing down, even though she's guilty AF
Michael and Jordan fly to Burra-Benton-Benrose for her surgery
Monet decides Curtis needs a good PR blitz
Sidwell denies all to Dante
Tracey has a cold
Mac had advice for Lulu about her Sonny vendetta
Joss "outsmarts" the entire bidding bunch to own the piers.
Carly approaches Valentin with the idea of going to therapy with Anna
In case you missed it: Emma's and Gio are MOVING IN TOGETHER
Cat's Eye has a stalker outside
Cat's Eye has Drew and Ava inside
Britt is kicked off Uber
Ned and Jason chat ELQ
Willow tells Curtis the Governor won't take her calls so no cushy prison for him
The only things I liked last week were 1) Jason reconnecting with the Q's, 2) the confrontation between Emma and Joss, and 3) the return of Brad and Ms. Wu. (Now, they had better be used regularly.)
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely not enough for a five-day-a-week show. You called "GH" lackluster and that is the perfect description of the show right now. Many days, it feels like the producer and writers aren't even trying, they're just churning it out. If they don't care, then why should viewers?
"GH" is stuck in a rut and needs an overhaul.
Joss is ridiculous at this point. And I’ve heard of “hair acting” but the “high pony=spy mode” kills me every time. When she’s ponied and in tight clothes, she’s a spy. When she’s in a blazer, she’s in “spy has a meeting” mode. And apparently when she’s barely clothed that’s her JJE uniform. It’s all to hide how preposterous all these stories are for her.
ReplyDeleteJane can do no wrong. That’s all I can say about that!👏👏👏
The fact that the people writing this show or the editors dont know enough to know the woman’s name isn’t “Lulu“ just tells me what I need to know about how much thought is put in to these stories. And I absolutely just don’t care about this storyline. I don’t care that Willow drugged Drew, I don’t care that anybody bribed her, she has outlived her purpose on this show. Wait, I take that back. If her purpose on this show can be to leave and take Chase with her, then that will be fine. I used to love them together, the writers have made both unrootable and I really shouldn’t be surprised because the amount of times they take a wonderful pairing, mix them with the wrong people, and then we are left with a skunky aftertaste is frequent. Now, the sweet couple that I rooted for is a toxic mix of evil and stupid. No rooting value whatsoever! Take notice, Gio, and Emma… They’ll be coming for you next!
I was so happy to watch Abbott Elementary this week and see the beginning and end caps, I posted them both on Bluesky. I love when shows incorporate my soap! I was a big fan of days of our lives when friends made Joey a part of it, and anytime Susan Lucci shows up on something it’s a hoot! Hearing them explain Cassius being Nathan‘s twin and the whole story behind his mom, not knowing he existed… And Ava saying it happened to her aunt! Quinta Brunson, and Ava Coleman wrote that episode and it was perfection! Kudos!
Great SS - not so great week. Really happy to see Lesley Lu have something interesting to do besides going after the kids. Love having Ric on more! Can’t stand to watch the infantile Joss trying to act like an adult. Her acting annoys me, too, no nuance, just staccato. Emma was great telling her off. I have a feeling that if GH wins a lot of awards at the Daytime Emmies that will further enforce the writers to believe they are doing a good job when they aren’t.

Thanks for another great SS! Especially after another dull week of GH.
ReplyDeleteBrad, Selina and Ezra! All characters that could be so much fun. But the closet awaits I fear.
Joss is ridiculous.
Trina was calm on Friday. Not sputtering, not speed talking or ranting. Didn't even FF. Bet you are right about the Kai set up.
I am so tired of the hate. Hate Sonny. Hate Britt.
Newbie at bar and I don't care.
Chris McKenna was in my dreams last night. Nothing juicy just a friend being kind and sweet and protective. It was better than the show.
