First Scene Saturday: Tony Geary

 

THE SPENCERS! 

LUKE, with the straight, thin hair! 

I admit, when I saw this scene, I was more struck by Jackie than Tony. Not that it wasn't amazing seeing Tony in his first scene, but I truly forgot that Barbara Jean started out as a little vixen. They turned her into a loving mother and grandmother, but there was a time when she went for what she wanted at no cost. Case in point, asking Luke to kill Laura so that she can be with Scotty. 

Still, Tony was a legend, we all know the history. I am sure a lot of people think that Tony is only known for GH. And for many they would be right. But if you look through his IMDB page, he has 54 credits in his background besides GH.  I very much remember his performance on All in the Family. He was groundbreaking in it.

NOTE FROM WUBS:  Luke's first few scenes on GH weren't that note-worthy and really didn't give a clue to the powerhouse he'd become, imo. Add the Disco, an old fashioned "bodice ripper" which was HEAVILY criticized in the coming years and--well, a legend was born. Note to all soap writers: Never paint a character into a corner. You never know when they'll become popular.  U don't think they've learned this yet. 

I was a Luke and Laura lover and although I understood in my head the rape scene was horrible (so was the aftermath) somehow it "worked" to make them a couple. I know now that's terrible and normalizing this was just the way it was done back in the day. Interesting that Scotty ended up being the villain in all this when he was trying to save Laura from the trauma of her rape. Oh boy things have sure changed over the years. Yes, there were a few people that were more progressive than I but as you know, the popularity of L&L lasted for decades. 

Do you have a fave L&L moment? Mine is definitely when Luke saw Laura at the Mayor's mansion. 

Friday Footloose

 Well, I watched yesterday's show and the only thing good that happened was that Anna finally told Finn about Peter's poison.  

Oh The SUN is out again today! After 2 days of snow, it's finally warmer. Geesh, our weather is just nutty around here. 

Oh boy... not much to say about THIS situation only that the whole Barn-Dance is such.. I mean.. ugh. EVERYONE has on western gear? Nina found a damn denim dress and jacket AND turquois earrings? Phyllis has a giant Western-style turquoise necklace hanging around too? Sometimes the props/wardrobe department just disappoints me. NOT often-- but sometimes. I'm sure I'll bitch about it during Sunday Surgery. 

ON TO TODAY'S SHOW: 

Britt gets a lab test showing a 17 year old died from Cyrus' street drugs. 

Britt sees Jason being brought into the hospital. She tends to him (he has stitches) and he sees her hand shaking. He holds it and tells her everything will be ok. THEN FKING CARLY BARGES IN, sees it and says "What's going on here" ?? LIKE SHE OWNS HIM? God I hate her. Britt tells her to leave because she has to talk to Jason privately. OMG it goes on and on. Carly flips out when Jason says he could work the business from the island "NO YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME"!! UGH Britt asks if he wants a sedative when she leaves because "he's gonna need it' LOL !! 

The raffle table gets held up by a bandito. (pffffffffffft) Sonny tells him to knock it off. THEN Jax and Nina get held up by ANOTHER BANDIT. AHAHAHAHaaaaaaaaaAAAAAA. I'm dead. So, Jax struggles with the gun, it goes off, then Sonny distracts the other guy and grabs HIS gun. (this is happening in different areas so they don't see each other yet). Oh my god. You have to watch this stupidity. I can't do it justice. The upshot is that Jax is shot in the shoulder and passes out. EMTs come and tend to Jax-- Jax is being taken away and sees a hazy Sonny and says "What the hell" before passing out again. 

Laura goes to talk to Martin, wants to make up. They talk about Cyrus and the mother and that Cy probably wants Laura to do something for him. Marin leaves. Laura talks to Curtis. He tells her about his divorce. 

Jordan sees Shawn in jail. He yells at her about TJ and not telling him he was kidnapped. She doesn't react much. He says he's in jail and not guilty but she says he pled guilty and it's his own fault. Oh, TJ is visiting Shawn. They go on and on about stuff. She syas she doesn't regret not telling him about TJ being his son because he had two fathers that loved him.  Jordan won't charge Shawn. 

Michael is home and Brook asks him about Willow. Valentin and Martin are coming over to discuss "term's of the baby's life. Brook says shes' going to Bensonhurst to have the baby and Valentin says he has the right to know where his baby is being born. She says no. Then Michael gets her to agree to it. Brook then says Val has to give up all his ELQ shares to have a part in the baby's life. He's like NO WAY, he'll go to court. LOL Martin is all for it because he will make a ton of money. They finally decide on a deal but Val won't sign until the baby is born. Brook says it's a deal. Wonders later where she'll get a baby. 

Molly tells TJ that Robert Scorpio is offering a Jr. ADA position when her internship is over. She wants to be a DA now. TJ is upset because he thought she was going to be a justice "warrior" and the system is messed up. She says she can work it from the inside. He says her mother got good treatment because she's white and Shawn is in jail for life. TJ finally says it's ok. Hugs her. 

LORD. A TON happened. It was tough to keep up

Thursday Thirst Trap

 

Photo thx to: @BillingsOctavia 

SHAWN BUTLER is back, baby!! Thank Goodness Sean Blakemore wanted some work! Yeah!! We've been waiting. He's in jail for a crime he didn't even commit. But yeah!! I'm glad Carly sent him. Did you remember he's TJ's Dad? 

What did you think of all the Webber mentions yesterday? I'm thinking Steven Lars will be back. Neither Cam M or RoHo are old enough to be Jeff, that's for sure. 

And... that's that for today. See you tomorrow! 

Jeff Webber Mention! 2x!

 

OMG The Fireman's Dance. Jesus help me not make too much fun of it...Ok, I am going to. It's COWBOY THEMED. Good Gravy. Sonny almost kissed Nina... but Elijah interrupted. 

Cam and Joss still saying "Will you be my friend" or NOT??  :eyeroll:  He leaves. Jax consoles Josslyn.  He leaves to go fly his plane. 

Scott goes over to Liz' house..Cam is late to babysit the boys. He mentions Sarah or Jeff WEBBER coming to help with the boys!! WHATTTT!! He mentions Jeff again! Says he's a good guy. Hmmmmm Then Cam comes home, Liz leaves and he and Scott talk 

Finn yells at Portia that the labs aren't back yet and he can't treat Chase without the baseline data. Anna just stands there and watches.  Peter says stupid stuff to Anna about Chase and walks away. Why is he still alive? 

Portia says that Finn is acting more like Chases' father than his brother and shouldn't be his doctor. He disagrees.

Michael sees Willow sitting next to Chases' bedside. Michael mentions a sponge bath? Um.. okayyyyyyy Willow leaves and Chase and Michael talk about Willow. 

Carly goes to jail to yell at Jason, tell him they are going to do things HER WAY now.  I think Sean Blakemore will get him out? Or help him? 

END:

Josslyn and Cam make up on the phone. 

Scotty called Lesil to say good night

SHAWN is Jason's cellmate (remember him? TJ's Daddy?)

Jax flew to Nixon Falls to find Nina LOL 

Anna tells Finn she knows what's wrong with Chase 

Trials and Tribulations

 

WELL..NO GH today due to the trial. This was a bummer to me because I won't be here on Tues or Thursdays live anymore. 

So, let's use this for Tuesday's show as well. I saw the new promo for GH and people--GET READY. Why? WE ARE SEEING THE FIREHOUSE DANCE!! (insert Wubsy LAUGHING HER ASS OFF). OMG. 

OH MY GOD. Sonny is wearing a cowboy hat. Alert: Cowboy hat. Now, see I get the whole "what if Sonny was a different guy" but... but.. pffffffffffft. COME ON. Pennsylvania Line Dancin'!! 

GH can be so damn good and so damn frustrating!! I'll catch ya'll Wed. --

Sunday Surgery: Hope Is a Good Thing

 

This will be a difficult week to write about as a lot of things happening are just boring me to tears. I've had a good run but I think I'm a different breed when it comes to my soaps. The nice, quiet relationships are just not drama enough.  Combine that with the apparent Hallmark story going on over at the Tan-O and well... Wubsy just wanted to nap. 

Pull up a chair and get some coffee because I'm not sure how this will go. 

Take Me to the Dance.

 It's Friday! What a week. Having anything done that requires stiches is not fun. BUT I've been relaxing so that's good. 

This week on the show was not a great one for me. Just slogged around. 

Sasha and Brando. don't care O. They talk about the last night. blah blah..drink coffee. Gladys comes over. Mad that Sasha is there. 

Alexis is in the prison yard. Orange is the New Black style. Big Blonde pushes her.  Her cellmate gets the bigger lady to lay off for now. 

Anna and Val are STILL NOT TELLING FINN about the poison!! WTF!! Carly tells them it's HER THAT'S KEEPING CYRUS IN LINE because SHE TOOK HIS MOTHER!! Don't you FORGET IT! She says she won't give up Florence and wants them to tell her what's going on. They won't. 

Laura and Marty at The PC Grille. She's still being pissy with her. Marty tries to make up with her. Then Cy sits down. They argue about his mother. Laura leaves. 

Then Anna introduces herself to Cyrus. I guess they haven't met. 

Ava and Nik talk about the Hummingbird Cake (again) and kiss. COVID Style. Ava and Nik have Zex. Then Nik finds out where Florence is through the bakery. 

THREE HUMMINGBIRD CAKE MENTIONS (so far) ...sorry FOUR. 

Sonny asks Nina to the FIREHOUSE DANCE---she is going to the LIBRARY TO RESEARCH Nixon Falls. Where the hell am I? Wellsville in 1943?? What the hell? LOL!! This is just... Now Nina's acting like she's "helping Sonny" Be happy. :eyeroll: 

TODAY WAS JUST......wow. I should have napped.
