Friday: O' Canada!

Today is my 'boy's' birthday.. he was born at 3:58pm and I kid that he waited until GH was over to come into the world (not that I was watching after 27 hours of labor ,thank you!!) I'm off to the  North so he can order a beer legit-- at least he's going with us and not a car full of friends! 

ERGO--- I won't be here for the show.  That means Sonya has to take over the recaps if she's watching and everyone else that posts daily can help.  Let me know the skivvy. Somehow I don't think I'll miss anything crucial. 


NEW SCOOPS are posted-- mostly Franco and Lucky related. Franco for stalking the wedding/honeymoon and Lucky for being all jittery for Vicodin and packing up Siobhan's things.

I am predicting a nice Murder Mystery coming up-- maybe for November Sweeps?  Not saying who's dying yet-- or if they are really 'dead-dead'-- but I do think something's brewing.  

Nu Kate and Sonny will cross paths soon-- we'll have to see if there's any spark in that there recast.  I really felt like I was watching a show from the past with Olivia/Kate yesterday. It was a bit bizarre. Also, did anyone note the star tattoo on her wrist? Is she connected to the flour bags? LOL!!

Have a great Friday! Only one more week of AMC!! How sad is that? wahhh. Watch a great video with the cast saying goodbye on Vincent Z Facebook page.

Sunday Surgery: Missing Charts

Ah...so, a TON of you loved the show on Friday! All the BOOM and the DRAMAZ going on!! I of course, noticed all the holes drilled into the story--which naturally, drove me insane. I swear the continuity people were on vacation along with the editors. Since they had a WEEK of the wedding, you'd think they could have told the tale in a more detailed, woven way.  We know the actors are great...it's the rest of the sheeze that bothered me. AND YOU KNOW I'm going to dish about it today!! 

Some observations:


1. Most obvious omission: Food and Music at the reception.  They didn't even TRY to pretend. Hell, there wasn't even utensils or plates on the tables. LOL. Carly said "The food is great" and then Michael and Abby sat there tasting air. The silence was deafening as well. Nothing? No background anything? God,  get an ipod dock!

2. Second most obvious omission: Carole the wedding planner. Er...last I looked they were everywhere during a wedding and at the reception.  Surely they could have paid to have her on a few more days. 


3. Missing Persons: Max gets knocked out by Carly-she has time to change, do her hair and go to the entire wedding. Milo was sent out for pizza. Are you telling me neither one made it to the reception? If only to check on things?? Sonny didn't even ask where they were when Carly showed up!

4.  More Missing Persons: Diane comes into the office, dressed for the wedding (which she didn't attend as it was going on when she was in there). Finds out about the Balkan--and is never seen again. Never made it to the party. 


5. Time Warp: Johnny and Lisa were at Jake's when the wedding was happening. They had time to get back to his place, sleep together and then WAKE UP...all while the reception was still going on. It was like a night flew by for them,  but no one else.


6.  Transporter: Carly was an EXCEPTIONAL speed demon-- she leaves the reception and in a split second finds Shawn at the Pine Barrens -- not only that she sees him in the pitch dark, lying on the side of the road. She gets him in the car and takes him home-- all in about the time it took for 3 people to make "toasts" at the wedding.

7. Jason and Sam: First off, they get to the offices of Diane and Alexis in 3.4 seconds.  How Jason knew where they were, no one knows.  Secondly, Jason gets to Carly's house, holds Shawn at gunpoint in about 1.1 seconds. The whole time, Sam is gone, not one person asks about her.  Not Alexis, not her sisters--no one.  I think Carly mentioned in passing. Jason was really not concerned after she was taken by the Balkan as to her whereabouts.

8.  The bomb aftermath: While everyone was standing around-- we only saw the back of ONE fireman's helmet.  That was it. You'd think Mac would have ran in? Ronnie? People were freaking out a bit--but outside? Pretty calm for a bomb going off, imo. It needed to be WAY more dramatic for me. The best part of course, was Jax/Sonny confrontation. Thank goodness that was written in or I would have been major upset.

9. Siobhan and Lucky: Oh, why-why WHY were they stuck in Ireland rescuing Megan? Given the fact that The Balkan really had NO use for Siobhan other than to make us crazy, and the whole "Ireland" rescue took on a level of stupidity not seen for a long time. Making Suzanne the Balkan's wife was clever but it totally negated the Siobhan saga. He didn't need her as a "spy" or anything else. That's why rewrites never make sense. 

10. The little things:  These just bother me. Where were  Steve and Olivia when the bomb went off? I guess they left.  No way Carly wouldn't have gone to the reception site after the bomb blew to see her kids. I don't care who's bleeding on her couch. Edward made it there in his PJs ...but Tracey didn't? Mac or Ronnie should have shown up.  How did Brenda pee in that wedding dress? hee hee..ok, I just threw that in there to see if you were paying attention. 


I really wish people would have had coats on too--it's damn freezing here in the winter. Besides Carly, it was like summer. I am eternally grateful that Brender changed and put on her sweater. 


You know I did love parts of the wedding... I just believe that they could have done SO much better with timelines/continuity and flow.  Sonny acted SO out of character after the reveal,  it was hard to swallow. I am happy for SnBers though-- believe me I know you waited a long time.  Congrats! Now, we get to watch Brenda lay around the Bat Cave for days. *sigh*
She will realize though her baby could still be alive because Suzanne was there-- although how she could have given birth knocked out is a whole 'nother pain in my brain! Check out the SCOOPS for all the action. Hit a sponsor to keep the wub going! Thanks!!


OSCARS tonight! I'm on #GHOscars timeline if you want to play!!

29 Years Ago SOAP History Was Made!!

Where were you? I was in college-- no VCRs even. Sigh..we watched in the dorm lounge!! It was a magical day...sigh. The entire cast was there, on location at the "Mayor's Mansion". 30 million watched.  IN REAL TV time!! No taping!! 

Genie cried so pretty for this ceremony. Don't laugh at the lavish dress/headpiece --everyone was doing it back then, even Princess Di!! Of course, they 'remarried' for their 25th reunion....only Luke was really married to Tracy. Now we find out that Tracy and he were never married, so I'm not sure what that means for these two. I think the writers forgot that point. Oh well. All I can say is it's too dang bad Genie hasn't been around all these years. We know she's regretted leaving, has said how much she wants to be on the show for more than "guest stints". *sigh*....
