Today is Tuesday!!

Just in case you don't know!! This week will be hard to keep up with things, as will next due to all the festivities!
Happy Channukah night ONE!! 

Wonder if we'll hear about it on our soaps. I think the only Jewish character I know on ABC is Nora from OLTL. Who remembers Jake from the old Brownstone/Bobbie days? 

 I watched RHOBH last night and boy, was it uncomfortable. Knowing that Russel would eventually kill himself just made it very hard to watch. The "uninvite" was bad enough but them all crowding around the limo? Geesh, way to make him even more angry at Taylor! Felt badly for Kyle, but her sister was also a tweek.  I don't like Brandi but Kim made me feel sorry for her (which I shall never forgive her for!!) Lisa's my fave and her 'I am NOT doing that" for the wedding and then does it. HEH. Plus, she's British so I excuse her for most things. The whole season is just a reality check in so many ways, imo.


OLTL: Oh, I so loved yesterday's show, I wish I could bottle it. I hope they sell it on DVD!! TOO FUN.  Parodying yourself is priceless. If more of the shows had fun like that once and awhile, they'd be a huge hit. Today wasn't as fun but I do like Paris, Texas stuff. Delphina! LMAO. Jack was trying hard to look adorable but he's still as wooden as a door knocker. The end of the show made me squeel!! xxoo!


SPOILER ALERT: ANGELFIRE is DOWN due to stupid FTP attacks or something, ughhhh. SOooooooo here's some updates here:
Carly gets the dog to help Shawn with his PTS attacks
Michael wants to work for the Zaccarah's again for whatever stupid reason--he'll be all pissy at the NYE party. 
Helena comes to Wyndemere!  With Nathan Parsons leaving, who knows what's going to happen with Ethan.  Can I hope he turns Zombie and gets walled up in the tunnels? I need something exciting to happen. Or, The Lady in White is a zombie and she eats him ala The Walking Dead. 


GH: How long will I last today?
Sonny's playing footsies with Kate....Jason's eavesdropping, and Liz wants Lucky to stay over night.
Shawn is PST'ding over Bernie. Carly's got her giant mouth FLAPPIN'! ugh SHUT UP!
Dr. Ewan finally exposes himself as a doctor, not a patient. SURPRISE..well, not if you read my spoilers. Loved Matt's face though.
Liz is looking way too psycho. Cling-on the whole thing. Knowing that JJ wanted them back together, this could have been so different.
I made it to 3:21.

Richard Simms Pens Book!

Just in time for your Christmas list and now available on Kindle. 

Richard has  written a book that will surely tickle your funny bone and have you thinking about all those nasty people devoid of manners. 
In his funny, fast-paced and most definitely furious first book, Simms  looks inside himself and, to be fair, at all of us in hopes of answering these questions. Better still, he offers common-sense solutions that just might make us think as well as laugh. Pick up “Crimes Against Civility” for the nipping-rather-than-biting social commentary and out-of-left-field pop-culture name-dropping, then stay for the subtext. A book may not be able to change the world, but if it’s very good (and this one is), it might at least change your mind. 

Richard is on howrudeareyou.com , hosts weekly podcasts and is active on twitter. @howrudeareyou Richard is also editor of Soaps In Depth.


To order just go through Amazon and hit the Kindle addition and you can read it on your Kindle or laptop/computer on the Cloud! The link will be on Wubs Net later today as well. Enjoy!

Dear GH: Enough with the SPRAY TANNING...

Sincerely, everyone that lives outside of LA.

Seriously.

Nathan Parsons Rumor

Seems like Julie Marie Berman may have told fans a bit too early that Nathan is leaving GH. In a twitter chat with friends she was "sorry to see him go" and his "talent has been wasted".
Figures the one character that brings a smile to my face may be leaving. SOD has this this to up, which is a RETWEET of Julie's tweet.
GH/ABC says: "No Comment"

Fraternity Row Hysterics...OLTL is a KEEPER!

We have a new LUSH store here and it's SOAPY HEAVEN!! Have you ever seen or heard of it? They have giant bath bombs and really fun handmade soaps.

One Life To Live --Doing Fraternity Row: CLINT and Vicky are the help!! LMAO.... OMG, I so love this!! I laughed so hard--- Wubby Hubby was like WTF!! "You are having too much fun"!!
Tea's accent.... AND PLAYING WITH HER BOOBS!! ahahaaa.Wait until you SEE JOHN as a preppy tennis player. There are so many surprises!! The "real" Todd-- pffffffffft.  Dani "We need a Dah-Nah" test!! And "M. Povich" on the DNA pocket.
My belly hurt. Still hurts. Joyful at it's best. Thank you writers!
YOU HAVE TO WATCH TODAY!!!!!!

GENERAL HOSPITAL:  HOUSE of Pain again. They are getting a lot of usage out of that stoop in "Bensonhurst". Kate decorated all nice for Sonny. All of these Bensonhurst memories are just ... TOO MUCH.
Sam and Michael are good together. They are alone too much but I can still deal with them. Shawn is so undercover. He's Greg Morris from Mission Impossible. 
Scrubs-- would Robin leave before Christmas? It's just too weird. 

Ok, I'm not watching any more today as my negativity is just all over the place on this show today. Sorry.  
NEW SPOILERS are up on THE WUBS NET.
Liz in Shadybrook...UGH.



 

Sunday Surgery: Viral Load

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Viral load is a measure of the severity of a viral infection, and can be calculated by estimating the amount of virus in an involved body fluid. For example, it can be given in RNA copies per milliliter of blood plasma.

Robin's on her way, folks. As much as I love Kim, I'm glad she's going after her dream of directing. I don't know how I'll feel about Robin's death until it actually takes place. If the story is there, I'll embrace whatever happens. I am thrilled "Anna" will be back and I'm sure "Robert" will come as well. I can't imagine Tristan saying no when there's a new regime at GH. This week was a mixed-bag. On the one hand, I love they honored the Jason/Robin history and friendship but I wish it wasn't interrupted by Franco Fugue States!! *sigh* Abby dying--which I did know about on the  surface but didn't realize how it would play out. More SKate angst in "Bensonhurst"-- whatever. I'm sorry but they needed to be done when Brenda was around instead of wasting months and months with her in "Italy" being chased by The Balkan. Maxie and AZ really had me intrigued, loved their little interaction. More please. The Woman in White? Becoming the White Elephant. zzzzzzzzzzz. Wow. Way to kill any suspense. Ewan is promising, although I wish Jax were around to swap stories over Fosters. Lucky and Liz have gone on too long with this pathetic "break up" -- No wonder JJ said get me the hell out.
Alexis and Jason were entertaining. NLG is fun in whatever she's doing. Even her "Mayor Floyd" scenes made me chuckle.
Dolores/Mulva looks way better with her hair down. That's about all I can say with that.

Random Bensonhurst Lady...best part of my week on GH!

SCENE OF THE WEEK: Michael embracing a dead Abby...Chad did a really wonderful job in that scene and the ones after....I even was a little teary! I also didn't know they were going to show that morgue scene so it was a little surprise.

NOT THE SCENE OF THE WEEK: Pointless Lucky/Liz interactio bitch-fest in Shadybook. We get it. LUCKY DOESN'T WANT LIZ....LIZ is desperate. Let's stop talking about it for weeks. Thanks.  I'm also giving it to the multiple  "Woman in White" staring into space. I don't want to call them "scenes" however. More like bothersome tics. 

 And..PS THIS character is getting WAY TOO MUCH airtime. 

n

 Lante Wedding Photo..guess they didn't go with my dress choices! 

The Lante wedding is going to be pretty flat with no one there from Lulu's family. I mean, really. Luke's gone (again) and Laura's still MIA. *Sigh* I do want to see the Falconeri crashers though. Might be fun. Will they serve Lante Cupcakes?

 

Kim McCollough Discusses Leaving GH

In a great interview with the Boston Herald, she comments about leaving GH, her character's legacy and how she felt about the HIV needle scene.

“I’m literally just with the audience playing along,” she said. “The really cool thing is that it’s been difficult for the producers and the writers to come up with a way for Robin to leave, which I think is very flattering to the legacy of the character. Everyone involved really wants her to leave in a heroic way, and, for lack of a better word, kind of classy way.”
Robin has been HIV-positive for many years, and some fans fear that producers will bring the story to a dark conclusion and kill her off.
“My counter answer to that is, ‘How do you do it without being dark?’ ” she said. “It’s a soap opera, first of all, not a sitcom. Because of the nature of the relationship between Robin and (her husband) Patrick (Jason Thompson), you literally cannot have a happy breakup. It’s impossible.”
