i got a JOB!

Lot's of convos today: 

Laura with Alexis talking about running for Mayor--or contesting it or something. 

Olivia with a BIG ASS'D Leo at the PUB. Talking about canvassing for Nedly and being a Mayor's wife.  I know they have a kid together but it feels so rando when they talk. She's never on. UGH

Cam letting Oscar crash at this house? HUH? isn't Oscar mad about the Joss thing?? I guess he's not mad but had no where else to go

Carly's talking to Liz about Cam and Josslyn. She wants she and Liz to be on the same page as she is. I missed the rest. 

Diane tells Drew that Oscar can't sue for Emancipation in NYS but he can sue to direct his own medical treatments.



Drew tells Curtis he can't be his best man. Drew says it's for privacy sake. Curtis says I've got your back. Drew says Oscar is sick, he may not make it. 

Kim is at Sam's asking her to help with Oscar.  Kimmy wants Sam to help her with Oscar deciding not to do the trial. She says Alexis is helping him with this. Sam says she can't talk her mom out of anything but knows someone who might be able to. 


SET NOTE: Sam's PH is just --UGH. You have 2 young kids and you don't have some old dead branch on the mantel and some boring contemporary painting. You have family photos and Fall/Halloween decorations. YES EVEN IF YOU'RE SAM.



AND WE GOT interrupted by POTUS.  And MRS. POTUS. 


After the break: 

Drew goes to see Alexis with Diane. They get into it. Alexis says she wants to help Oscar by giving him some power over the situation. Says if Scotty Baldwin takes the case, he'll make it a circus. Drew doesn't care. Alexis says she hopes Drew wins the case. Billy Miller was great in this scene. 

Olivia invites Laura to the Ball and Laura declines. Olivia thinks she's still mad about the election and doesn't know Laura is running. 

Jules gives Oscar a job as long as he stays in school. Kim is mad because it shows Oscar can take care of himself. 

Laura and Carly are going to tour Ferncliff. Carly told her about her time there-- and Laura wants to investigate. Carly says there's a patient there she thinks is in trouble.. (SOS guy). Oh Ok, I can take Laura and Carly teaming up. 

Spinelli is on tomorrow. 

Activity Tuesday!

It's Tuesday and I'll be out-- (as I will Thursday!!) So, it's activity today. Put your heads together to work on some soapy  questions. 

What was your first character crush? Mine was the first  Phil Brent from AMC. (Richard Hatch). Although we went on to more fame in Battle Star Galactica ...he remained "my Phil" forever!! He and Tara were deeply in love, planning to get married when he had to be shipped off to Vietnam. So real back then. They were the first to "marry themselves" in a little church before he left. (recreated by Liz and Lucky of GH) and made love. What happened a few years later? HE was alive!! Yep, the first 'back from the dead" story I remember too. 
When AMC premiered I was in elementary school and so ready for some TEEN ANGST on soaps!! I saw the first episode in Patty Andolina's basement. LOL..Crazy the stuff you remember. AMC was my mom and my soap for years. It was on right after lunch and we'd catch it during holidays and in the summer. 

That's my Pine Valley adventure in a nutshell!! BTW, Tara was played by Karen Lynn Gorney. I loved her. Not only because we shared a first and middle name but because she was in between the "good girl" and... well Erica Kane LOL Then she went to star in Saturday Night Fever and my world was so happy! 

PS My TV was black and white then as well! I had to go to our neighbors, the Tomkins to watch Christmas shows and things like Cinderella (Stuart Damon!!). Rough childhood lol

Cuervo in the Park

I'm convinced that Oscar is living in that damn park. 



It's Charlie's Pub today.. Drew, Julian, Alexis... Kimmy are all there.  Alexis tries to get Krissy to get a job as an Actuary...boring. Krissy gets all pissy. 

Drew is meeting Oscar for lunch on his Bday. Kim is going to stay. Oscar comes in after seeing Joss at the park and is all mopey with attitude.  They argue...Oscar gets mad at Drew because he had medical treatment HE didn't want. (like it's the same? LOL)...he leaves.

Ryan is putting off Laura. This is not good--a psychopath is a psychopath. JUST DO IT UP.  Scotty comes over, tells Ryan he interviewed for an anniversary article about Ryan Chamberlain. He represented Felicia in court. Ryan gets pissy, storms off. Laura asks Scotty out for a drink. Scott says that when Kevin was with Lucy years ago he left for a long time to tend to a patient. Which is true--that did happen. I bet they'll say it was Ryan! 

OMG So, Carly dreams about Kevin/Ryan tapping Morris Code on the table...then thinks about the hospital where someone was tapping it out. Then she sees Ryan/Kevin in a straight jacket.  Wakes up all shaken

Mike comes back from daycare--Stella is with him. Carly's afraid to put him into long term care because of her time in Ferncliff. Stella assures her that memory care is NOT like Ferncliff. 

Ryan is seeing Alexis for therapy. He's trying to figure out how to treat her based on Kevin's notes.  Asks about Mekkos. She talks about having to give up her baby when she was 17. 
Which later, prompts her to take Oscar's case because she thinks he should decide his medical fate. 

Kristina calls Parker--and Parker is at a mixer. Kristina gets all upset and when Julian tells her she can go home, she steals a tequila bottle and goes into the PARK and chugs it on a bench! LOL Like in the open, in the day!! Since when did she care about Parker??????? Huh??

Best scene was the bicycle scene with Sonny and Mike. Very good. 

Sunday Surgery: My Mama is a Moll

BUT FIRST, Let Me Take a Selfie!

This week was especially tough for me because although I mostly had the time to watch, I'd usually turn off the show at it's midpoint. Something no one who's writing a blog and recapping should do. Alas, I did --because I simply had other things I would rather be doing. Having people take an hour out of their afternoons anymore requires a hell of a lot more than well, what I'm seeing lately. Thursday's show was a good one so I'll be happy with that. 

And, since I visited Niagara Falls Canada yesterday, we are all having Tim Horton's coffee and breakfast sammies. Enjoy! 

I love Stella

Stella sees Michael looking at the babies in the nursery. She really could be a Mona or a Myrtle..I like her character. (Or a Ruby...although No one could be a Ruby if you know what I mean). They talk about grief and holding on to anger-- Stella with Jordan and Michael with Nelle. 



PETER is near Maxie and the baby. GET AWAY FROM THE BABY!!  Maxie gasps... (see below) 

Curtis/TJ and Jordan. TJ should be at GH doing his medical training ...come on!!! They bitch about the wedding and Stella not coming. 

Sonny and Jason...blah blah...Marino. Sam took over the case from Spinelli because he's on a vacation with Ellie and Georgie. She's doing it without Curtis. She went to the library because the net has not a lot on Marino. Sam and Jason talk about working together. Oh! Sam found a photo of an old parish christmas card at the library and Margot's mom was having an affair with SCULLY! I like the library detail--that was done well.  

Drew and DA Lady talking about taking Sonny down. Drew is like "Why shouldn't I go to the cops"?? She tries to convince him but he says No Dice. 

All of a sudden, Maxie runs into GH with Peter and James--bumps into Michael who's leaving--and says "James has a rash"!! Is he breathing ok?? Michael goes: Um, I'm not a doctor. LOL. WEIRD. Anyway it's not a rash; his PANTS were too tight!! LMAO. he is a big kid. 

TJ goes to talk to Stella about coming to the wedding. 

Thursday Do Your Own Thing Day

Everyone has a day to do whatever they want! It's Wubby Hubby's birthday--and I work late as it is so ...no GH today!! 
Not that I'll miss it (hate to say)... Wow, this is a "lull' right now or what?  EESH. I really don't care about Sasha and well, we all know what I think of Peter.  The Ryan/Kevin show is good but predictable (he goes and talks to Kevin... "wife" comes home...Felicia is around now and then). My one shining light? Ava and Ryan. Don't ask me why--other than I love the possibility of two twisted individuals getting together. That and Kiki might die!! 

Ok, so in the spirit of Do you Own thing.. I'm going to present one character that was featured for awhile, then quickly forgotten because she had no ties to town. Anyone remember: 

V?? Or Venus --as we found out her real name was?? Lisa Cerasoli played her and I just loved the character. She was fun and spunky -- Chloe and Ned try to set him up with Simon. She was also involved with Jax. Here's a cute clip:

Everyone have a good one-- it's cold cold cold here now--we've had our first frost of the season! 
You know what that means...snow will fly soon enough! 

Park Side Birthday

Laura sees Lulu on the net with Peter at the film fest. She wonders what's going on. Lulu's like: It's WORK, MA. Laura says "Make sure Dante knows you miss him". 

Spencer and Sonny....he knows Mike has Alzheimer's. Then he leaves... then Josslyn comes in. He saw on Social Media that she and Oscar broke up. I guess we will see Spencer with the "Grown" kids--still not being grown. Which I guess is ok by me. 
Josslyn: "Well, you haven't changed a bit".... Spencer "Well, you've gotten way taller" LOL 
He gave her a map of Paris...where he'd like to take her. 

It's Oscar's Bday, he's moping in the park. Cam comes around. He wants to quit the whole thing. OMG Oscar says he'll miss getting ice cream and going to the movies and COULD THIS BE ANYMORE BORING? This is SO DISNEY. I'm sorry but...angst is best served with Teens. As is Raw emotion.

Drew asks Peter "if I get my memories back, will I forget these last 5 years"??  Peter says I just dropped you guys off but probably.  Drew thinks he will forget too--and would forget Sam and Scout and Oscar...yada yada. 

Nina and Maxie. Nina's waiting to meet Sasha. She's afraid she won't come. 

Valentin wants to talk to Sasha. Shasha is like, I'm leaving..BYE. Val pleads Nina's case. Maxie overhears. Valentin pleads Nina's case. Maxie is all "awwwwww" in the shadows, thinks Val is being SO nice. After talking to Val, Sasha goes in to see Nina. Apparently, Valentin just said whatever magic words there was to say.
