General Hospital Sunday Surgery: New Staff

SO, we have a new staffer!! What do you think? Although he seems to be cute--and a decent enough actor, s face it--do we NEED a new  character? Who's only related to a psychotic character that's not related to anyone? Why not have him be Maya's BROTHER?? There's an idea. He still could have been working in East Buffalo or whatever-- moved to Port Chuck, he even could have known Lisa--but he'd be related to someone on canvas. Someone that also works at GH, and a sister he'd have to get all snarky with about marrying Ethan.  Edward could not like him for that, but lets him move in because of "Mary Mae"..more Q's at the homestead!! 
Please..MUST I THINK OF EVERYTHING, GUZA??!! See how easy that was?? Not to say that bringing in a related character (Steven Lars) does much for the history of anything, but at least the potential is there.
Just sayin'. 

On to the KeMo news that Mr. Tinseltown (Terry Morrow) posted yesterday on his blog. Did you read it? If not,  please take a moment to do so! She basically admits that TIIC know that GH is suffering in the ratings and that the whole Brenda/Balkan crap isn't working. I do like the Balkan-- having him integrate himself into the cast is nice, especially doing it through Alexis/Diane's law firm. I still say Ms. Barrett should have come back to Port Chuck right away as something to do with Crimson, then the Balkan mess could have started. 
Bringing me to my second point: Wasted characters..or the "forgotten only to pop up later characters"..case  in point: Suzanne. Here's another "Mayor Floyd wife", "Keifer's Daddy" yada yada-- who will be dragged into the story whenever and we're supposed to care. Hell, she hasn't been on in about 2-3  weeks. Sorry, I hate that crap...either use your characters or have them leave.  If she's going to be in The Balkan's past, have her on more. 
Kind of like Nikolas/Liz/Aiden/Lucky...we just aren't going to care when the baby reveal DOES come.  Why should we?

So, what's the "major shift"coming? I can only hope it's  more family time and  integration. HOPE I said, I'm not optimistic. Especially with Franco popping his head back in there in February to mess with everything again. Another "insert here"!! I hear he's directing too. We can only hope it's not done in some Fellini-type sheeze. As my friend and wubber Lori calls it: 

Franco's Weenie Fellini Fronkisodes 

If you're not sure who Fellini is... take a gander at this You Tube:



Just doing my job at educating our YOUTH about the Franco/Fellini connection. Well, the connection I SEE. LMAO 


I'm so hoping that all this ELQ talk manifests itself  into real action. (Don't laugh). I can dig Ethan getting into some corporate wrangling, and maybe Jax will have more to do than argue with Carly or build stuff for Brenda. 

Well, hope you had a great week--and will have a great upcoming week. Molly's going to start to break down, there's the Abby/Carly showdowns and Michael's venturing into the world of STRIPPAHS!  That's going to be good for a dang LAUGH!! 

Terry Morrow gets some Juicy DISH on the Future of GH!!

While on his great press junket, Terry Morrow of Knoxville got a chance to talk with Kelly Monaco. Take a gander at what she says is going on over at Port Charles!! Knoxville Tinseltown Blog!

"They know the show is not very good right now. With falling ratings and an erosion of its most coveted female demographic, ABC's highest-rated and longest-running soap "General Hospital" is going to be making some changes."

Friday: Fronkeys, Friends and Frons.

Follow @Hollywood_com on Twitter for some great News and Contests! I just won a "Social Network" package from them!! I've won Despicable ME too-- on Facebook by saying my fave cartoon character is FogHorn LegHorn "I say..boy..I say"..I won this one by telling them how I'd spend a Billion Dollars (I said on way more stuff than I would a million!) and  PRETTY Christmas Ornament from "Pretty the Series" YOU just never know what the cyberweb will bring. I swear, I'm winning cash someday and we'll all have a WUBBER/TWUBBER party at my expense!! 

So, who IS Brian Frons? People have asked me because I do refer to him on the blog. Well, he's the president of ABC Daytime Programming. Ergo, a lot of sheeze needs to be run by him before it hits the air. Sometimes  I yell about Guza--when I should be aiming at Jill Farren Phelps (Executive Producer) and Mr. Frons. Just thought I'd clear that up. I often say Guza got rid of the Nurses' Ball, when in reality it came from higher up--and was a budget decision. (stupid, stupid imo--cut the CGI, explosive and bullet budget and you got 3 nurses' balls!!)  Brian Frons also looks a bit like my FATHER, thank you very much. LOL..taller but still, same glasses, same beard, bald head. oy! 

You saw the newbie guy down there who plays Abby's "abusive ex"---which I didn't think we could get much more of on this soap. Sigh..every woman has to be in perilous danger, don't they? While I do like the age twist (Older Girlie, younger Male)--this stripper biz is for the birds. Soon Michael will be GOING  to the Strip Club to check Abby out. heh..Bow chicka BOW WOW!! I found some Strip Club names they could borrow from Rochester: Klassy Kat, Landing Strip (which is by the airport) and Mike's Tally HO! (heh, that's real!!) I asked Twubbers on Twitter to submit their local fun names. I got: "Legs and Eggs", "Booby Trap"...
GH named their's "Vaughn's"... UGH..so, sooooooooo boring!! I'd name it "Rack O' Rama"!!  Isn't Von's a grocery store chain or drugstore?? 


GENERAL HOSPITAL Today: Jason "They're taking her (Brenda) for a walk'-- Sam  "Jason..she's not a dog".. hahahah. Jason says about Jake "I'm just another person to him"...
He does think he has a good family but he does miss Jake. Sam had on a WHITE sweater.


Brenda wants Jason to help her plan the wedding. When he says no-- lol, she calls Spin and says it's an "Emergency". Doesn't she look schlumpy? I mean...I don't know..always like she tumbled out of bed?

Molly's losing it over homework... I liked it.  She'd do that in a heartbeat,  panic I mean. I can't wait for Sonny's talk with her about bipolar. 


Theo dropped the lawsuit because Robin asked  her to.


Carly is such a hoot-- and I'm with her. If I was her mother I'd be the same. On a soap it's fine and dandy that Abby is a stripper with "A heart of gold" but if his own Mama is ok with it? Something's WRONG! Mama's don't want strippers for their boys..usually that is. (don't write me telling me you're a stripper, please, I totally am game with that..but I think it's a mom's  job). Sam told Carly Michael went to her for help..when he went to JASON for a prostitute!! She overheard... 
Someone on twitter wondered if it had been JASON that had gotten Abby if CARLY would have freaked out. But remember, Jason said no.  LOL  Yes, Carly's still a beeatch. (Offering Money!?)


 Jamey Giddens of Daytime Confidential is rumoring that Megan McTavish might be going to All My Children, a  soap she has written for in the past.


Sebastian Roche will be having a recurring role on Criminal Minds! All the skivvy on SID.

AND...PS. don't believe the rumors about VM leaving in Feb...they don't look true.

Ross Thomas Playing Abby's

                                 nasty EX-boyfriend on GH! More SCOOPS UP on WUBS NET!!  
 

Thursday BUS Aftermath Day 4

Ah, Thursday..I can only hope today's show is as good as yesterday's!! See, we need NO CGI or that stuff. Having everyone at the hospital was awesome. Of course, I missed Bobbie but hell-- it was just a great change from all the Balkan crap. I so wish the entire show would revolve around the hospital again. I didn't ask--what did you think of the new doctor? He didn't make me gag on his acting  (usually I can tell if I like/hate someone in about 5 lines). I'm just stumped as  to why they are bringing in another newbie. If say, Matt would have died in the crash--maybe. I think Jason Cook has gotten the shaft so badly on GH, he needs to go somewhere else. 

NEW SCOOPS ARE UP!!

 

 Jason and Jake--'member them?? 

I do get the thing about Jason/Jake--- while I was praising yesterday's scenes I am also well aware of the missed opportunities and dropped stories that have happened in this tale. I do think they are showing this now because Sam will be able to maybe have kids. The same exact thing is happening with Nikolas/Aiden/Lucky. If they never show the kid with either guy, how is the baby reveal going to mean anything? That's GH's M.O. though, families and history ties are so seldom used, they really aren't part of the canvas. Newbies might never even know Jason HAS a son. Or that Molly is actually Ric's kid, not Sonny's! LOL We sure wouldn't know Carly has a Mom in town. She can't even mention Bobbie when they are in the damn hospital! It wouldn't have killed the writers to have had her say "I'll have Gram check on her later"...

TODAY'S SHOW: More Krissy/Sonny scenes...awwwww. He tells her about Stone. One of writer Karen Harris' shows. Her shows will end next month I think. 

Lisa is having Terrell mess with Robin to get her away from Patrick!! Did you see the looks Lisa and Robin gave each other?! 

Mayan and Edward... I would care more if they were on more. Once and again isn't enough. Tracy was back without Luke..damn it. BOO.

LOVED Theo's talk with MORGAN!! LOVED him with Dante...it's good we know who he is and can catch all this double-speak. I am liking it right now.  (I know, shut up! LOL) Maybe he's seeing Helena on the side!! Heh. Nikolas did say Helena knew "The Balkan"!! 

Robin said she was "Born and Raised" in Port Charles-- which we all know isn't true. She wasn't born there. 

I still think Abby is going to be a man..really messing Michael up. He's going thru "transgender" THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES!! :twirling: 

Yes for the Jolivia mention, too bad Johnny didn't actually GO IN THERE. ;/ boo. 

OLTL Today: OMG, Natalie swinging that gun around...with her fugly outfit, threatening Marty was just hysterical!! She was SO ASA!! I was wishing she would go find Inez for target practice. LOVED when she went into labor...it's PERFECT. Soapy and used a million times but I love it.heh

"I'll do better than an autographed photo for your wife..I'll sleep with her"!! Says David. Remember TED KING  is coming to OLTL soon! woot!! Maybe he's the  artist that did that pic of Blair in the box!!  

HEY! LOOK, let's hope they find a home on some TV channel so we can watch!

8th Annual Daytime Emmys Are On — And Will Include Web Series Awards Digest has learned that the Daytime Emmys ceremony will indeed take place on June 19th this year, however, details surrounding the broadcast remain up in the air. Awards Director Brent Stanton tells Digest that the awards will also include a new category to accommodate Web series called Special Class Short Format program. "This year it will encompass all daytime genres, including Daytime Talk, Children's, How-to etc," says Stanton. "After we see what dominates in this category this year, we are looking to separate out to a more defined category." Stanton hopes the drama Web series will dominate the new category, which means fan faves including EMPIRE, VENICE and GOTHAM could be considered.

 Twitter @wubsnet hit 7500 followers!! woot! Thank You to all that follow me and my live Soapy Tweets! I love doing it. If I go back to work full time, ok WHEN I go back to work  I will miss you all so much!! That's not coming for a bit though.

Suzanne Whang Bringing Her Mad-Cap Ways To GH!!

Suzanne Whang, best known for her hosting gig on HGTV's House Hunters is coming to GH as Brenda's wacky-wedding planner!! Will she drive Sonny Crazy? You bet!! How did she land the gig? Well, as a friend of Vanessa Marcil's and former coworker on Vegas, it was a natural. She played Polly, the outspoken Spa Owner who had a lot of "unPC" lines on the show. Here's hoping her funny ways charm us in Port Charles. We need some laughs! Sonny needs to drag Brenda away from her over-zealous planner who wants to make her wedding the "event of the decade".

I personally think it would have been fun to have had Suzanne on as a "House Hunter" for Sonny and Brenda but I'll take this. Love the fact that there's already a "Suzanne" on canvas surrounding  Brenda. Guza loves to play with names...

AWESOME Acting TODAY on GH!!

 
RUMOR has it that Tracy ends up calling Laura regarding Luke's where-a-bouts and it kicks off Genie's return  in March?? Still no official word, so hang on to your collective hats for that one. 

It's snowing here like gangbusters. ugh... I was going to go out for a bit but forget it... no way. I don't have to work so why bother? I'll just do more  house stuff. 


OLTL is great, David even had a sharpie in his cell!! LOL And he called Dorian! Of course, I missed a lot of OLTL due to the NEW CONGRESS @@. Whatever. 

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Thank Goodness they all made it to the hospital today. Jax was there.
Sonny HONESTLY SAID he knew Abby was a hooker by HER SHOES! ahahaha. Howling!! Why were they at a different spot than everyone else?!


Alexis and Molly hug...Molly tells everyone Michael is a hero. 

Cam is the CUTEST kid, isn't he?? Siobhan telling a wee Oyrish faerie tale! At least she didn't sing Danny Boy.

Patrick in surgery with Olivia. 

Dante talking about his Mama...I love Dom Z's acting. He really looked sick to his stomach.  He did such a great job. I know people are sick of Dante but it's not DZ's fault he's on every second.

Terrell comes out of the woodwork to operate on Morgan, who is surprisingly HAPPY for a kid with a broken leg. Why wouldn't they have just called 'Dr. Jackson in pediatrics"? Why have him "scheduled for an interview tomorrow"?? He COULDN'T operate if he's not on staff!!  This little stuff aggravates the hell out of me. He could have already been at the hospital but we just never saw him. ugh. booooooooo. 
 
Bye to Ally-- you had a short run. 
Maurice and Lexi did a fabu job... nice scene.

Davis Girls in the same room!! I love that..it's just not done enough. Good casting for all of them. I wish Sam lived with them and they were on way more. I also wish one of them wore contact lenses. I am on a quest to have at least ONE soap character have contacts and glasses. LOL. I would have loved for Kristina to have said "Mom, my contacts are nasty!! Bring my glasses!!"




Jake looks so much like JASON!!  The hair cracked me up.  When Liz brought him for Jason to 'watch'...I loved how SB played it like Jason couldn't even talk. sniff

Maxie and Matt banter-- cute. Everyone trying to cheer the kids up. Awww. Nice montage at the end.  Loved Carly seeing Abby and Michael! She was dagger eyeballs. 


EVERY Actor was awesome today-- wow, great stuff.  Even the ones not on the front burner did great work. GREAT SHOW TODAY! (and you know I don't say that lightly! LOL)
