Sunday Surgery: Stray Bullet

 


So, the observation I usually have when I watch GH the next day. HULU makes it SO much better!!! With no commercials it doesn't drag. Still jumps around and scenes are short but it doesn't make me sleepy. LOL Seriously, it was such a different experience. 

This blog might be all over the place because frankly, the show sure was!! Things just didn't flow again. Days blended into nights blended into--I don't know what! Grab that coffee and hunker down!!

10 things that should happen by end of year


With the writers strike happening and things in sort of disarray, here are 10 things we hope happen between now and the end of the year: These are just spit-balling some ideas! 

NOTE: I'm not sure I'll be in today (Friday July 14th) so please use the comment section below for your comments. Also comment on what you'd like to see!! 


 Bobbie will be in a car crash and on life support. Carly will anguish about turning off the life saving equipment. It is discovered that Bobbie is an organ donor and like BJ's heart donation, will donate her organs to those who are on lists. (Expect flashbacks throughout) While this is happening in the hospital ER.....


Lucy and Martin can be getting married in the chapel. Lucy can be frantic, wondering where Bobbie was as Bobbie promised to be at her wedding and she didn't want to get married without her. They can go back-and-forth between Lucy and Bobbie scenes. Lucy and Martin can walk through the hospital after the ceremony and run into Carly and those gathered around and realize what has happened.




LC will retire. With her blessing, Monica will pass away. It will be discovered that earlier this year her cancer metastasized to stage 4. She left town to get hospice care and didn't want to burden her family, telling them she was taking vacations and going to seminars. She leaves the house to Tracy which turns out to be bittersweet. 
  


Spencer gets his own place which is unfortunately, right across the hall from Dex. (Shades of Sonny/Jason back in the day).  He decides that Esme can raise Ace on her own. He will keep an eye on him from afar.  Trina moves in with Spencer, Joss moves in with Dex. 


 Gladys is murdered ... (it's the psychiatrist) but Selena Wu is the one arrested. 



After Gregory dies, Finn is posted in some remote country because he's working on some infectious disease control. Leaves town with Violet. 


Austin is really an Alkazar and is taking over Sonny's territory. He wakes up Nikolas and uses it to control Ava. Ava eventually realizes he's really the bad guy and reports all to Sonny. Together, they take down Mason/Austin. The two are sent to Pentonville. Cyrus tries to get them into his Bible Study Group. 



Sam and Dante plan their small yet fun wedding. You guessed it: Lulu wakes up. Dante will stay with Sam however and Lulu will live with  Maxie in her new giant house. 



Maxie and Spinelli get back together. Spin runs social media for Deception. Office hijinks occur.  



Alexis somehow gets reinstated as a lawyer and she, Diane and Martin decide to open a firm together. Scott Baldwin is their constant nemesis.

MAMA

 


OMG They HAVE TO START GETTING THE TIMELINE RIGHT ON THIS DAMN SHOW!! GEESH!! 

All of a sudden MOLLY comes out at GH and says "TJ doesn't know a lot more" WTF did she get there? Spencer is gone, Trina's losing it. Sonny and Nina walk in. He hugs Molly. Marshall is surprised he's there. He wonders why Curtis was shot. 

Portia goes to her office to get a sweater for Trina because no one has changed clothes and she flashes back to Curtis' and stuff. She sees Trina crying about Curtis on Phyllis' shoulder. 

Curtis is getting operated on and TJ watches from the door. Bullet is out, then he flatlines. Curtis dreams he's in the park with his mother. Such a good scene. Watch it. She says Tommy is calling him. But Curtis hears TJ calling him from the operating room. He tells his Mom he has a daughter. She still tries to get him to leave with her lol. 

Sasha is arrested by Chase for walking out with clothes she didn't pay for. She says they told her she could take them. (See below) 

Willow says Sasha was acting weird, call Gladys. Michael does but she doesn't answer her phone. 

Gladys is in the same dressing room that Sasha was in earlier, trying on a sable coat and SCOUT wanders in. Then Sam? WTF? Scout tries on dresses. Gladys tells Sam she's treating herself to a fur coat. Sam asks her why Wu, Cody and she are so close. Gladys finally looks at her phone. Has to leave. 

After Gladys leaves, Scout is sad about swimming because her dad isn't taking her and picking her up like he used to. 

Alexis and Kristina are in Kelly's talking about surrogacy. Why isn't Alexis writing this up for the paper. Then Maxie shows up. Alexis says she wanted to ask her about doing a story on the Deceptor. I guess she couldn't call her. OH!! OH!! I get it.. It's so KRISTINA could ask MAXIE about surrogacy. Maxie says she'll talk to her later. 

Alexis calls Sonny to come and talk about Kristina and her foundation. She thinks Krissy is over her head. 

Chase calls Maxie about Sasha. She's at the PCPD. Gladys makes it there first and watches the footage of Sasha stealing the shirt. Sasha doesn't remember it. Gladys thinks she needs some time off. 

Selina Wu slaps Cody because he cheated and lied. He says he wants out of her employ and she says NOPE. YOU CAN'T! Then leaves Li to beat up Cody. Cody blurts out about the WSB paying him 10 mil for losing his necklace. "Want a cut"??  He agrees to 40/60 in Wu's favor.  Cody goes to call Sasha. Wu follows him and Sam is taking photos of them in the alley and someone grabs her shoulder. 


END: 
TJ walks out of the operating room and everyone asks him if he's alive.

Druggie

 

Anna goes into the hotel room that the shooter used. Someone comes in. She punches them and it's Marty LOL . It's his old room. He wonders why she is there. They talk and then he wants her to help him figure out what's happening with Lucy. She says that women don't like it when the men they love say they'll never marry again. 

Tracy, Brook and Chase are at The Pool. BORING Tracey leaves. Chase and Brook talk. Anyway, it ends up that Brook comes clean to Chase about Tracey helping him to get his badge back. Tracey says all she did was get the board in the room. So, Chase has to leave but he kisses Brook first. He's not mad

Sasha is deep in a manic rush shopping with Maxie. Acting like a druggy ...she also picked out some clothes for Willow. She tells Maxie her doctor gave her some 'happy pills'. She keeps taking more. She's acting like a fool. 

Gladys, the psychiatrist and Wu are at The Savoy Bar.  Gladys won big. Wu is mad because Cody wasn't supposed to let her win.  With everything that happened to Curtis last night, this just makes it worse. She thinks Cody is trying to get fired. 



Felicia and Lucy are outside of Jackson's office in Pine Valley. Lucy tells him she needs legal advice about her husband who has another "family" in PA. Felicia is eyeballing the files. She gets into them. But it was too easy she thinks. There's a safe in there but she can't open it. Lucy comes out and Jackson invites her to dinner at 8. On today's show, we saw Felicia going through the files and NOTHING of Lucy talking to him in his office. 

Willow's home. Sitting on the couch. *sigh*. They can't have sex yet. No one cares. Sasha comes in, acting a fool EVEN MORE. If Willow can't tell then OMG. 

END:

Tracey tells Brook she can't quit Deception because she stole those files. 

Anna says Marty's exwife #3 is rich and pays him alimony 50K a month and if he marries Lucy it will stop.

Chase arrests Sasha because she walked out with merch from the department store she was in (An expensive blouse for Willow)

Selina finds marked cards that Cody used to throw the game.

Neck Pain


I wasn't sure if I was going to even blog today but.. what the heck. It IS a gorgeous day but I'm better in the air conditioner. 


Is it me or does it seem like someone is shot on this show ever other month? Valentin, Anna... now Curtis. Dex was shot a few times. I'm like: MEH.. we know they aren't going to die, what's the point? 

So, they are operating on Curtis no matter what the risk. He's wheeled up to surgery. 

Marshall and Stella are in the coffee shop, eating pie at night but, I what do I know? She says she's sorry about him losing Epiphany. "She was a fine woman".  NO ONE has called them YET? and they just keep blabbing about everything and.. NO Phone call. OH! Here we go, finally at 2:25 they get the call LOL. 

Joss goes to tell Spencer at the end of the baby class thing about Curtis. Spencer rushes down to be with Trina. Joss wants to have a "Chat" with Esme. She's ON TO HER. Esme is saying all she said was thank you. Esme is acting all innocent. Joss "You took things from me you never gave back".  She wants Esme to turn herself into the police. The she talks about Heather and Ryan being her parents LOL. Dex comes in and they all leave. 

Spencer goes and hugs Trina, waiting for word on Curtis. Then Marhsall and Stella come in. All hug.

Liz and Finn sit in the park --why the FK wouldn't they go to GH? At least HER?? Portia is her BFF (they've said that enough times). They talk about death... morbid junk. Then about mistakes. Boring junk. Then about the boys and the pool and taking a second chance. They kiss. 

At the pool, Anna and Sonny talk about who could have been shooting at them. Nina walks in. Sonny tells her to go home. She's like: UM NO, it's my hotel. Sonny tells her it was Curtis. She wants to know how bad was it and who else was hurt. They had to tell her that it could have been he wasn't the target. Dex calls Sonny and catches him up. Nina goes to the hospital. 

IT WAS HARD sitting through the show today. I think I might be better off watching on Hulu at 8pm at night so at least I don't get commercials. 

Andrea Evans Passes Away (OLTL)

 


Oh my gosh, I was in shock when I heard the news. Andrea Evans was such a staple of my soap watching days, I thought her invincible.  One of my favorite memories is of her playing Tina, coming in to stop Cord's wedding (and holding his baby!!) One Life to Live was lucky to have her! Although she came and went throughout the years, she remained "THE" Tina Lord. 


Tina was flighty, shrill and complex. The perfect sister for Victoria Lord. She also embodied the '80s glamor girl. Tina and Cord had such soapy chemistry, they were a joy to watch. 


Andrea also appeared on The Young and the Restless, Passions and The Bold and the Beautiful.  In 2013, she was cast in the online soap DeVanity as Vivian Price. 

Andrea leaves a daughter, Kylie Lyn Rodriguez (19) and her husband Steve. She died in Pasadena CA of breast cancer. She was 66.

Anybody Out There?

 
In addition to not being able to snag photos from Twitter, the blog reading is way down too. Ratings? I know they were 1.6 last week so.. Let's pray things turn around. I know it's summer and people are on vacation but...summer is also a time ratings can go up because people are home. 


Ok, So Curtis got shot at the pool in the back kinda in the lung area. Portia is all shaken then Finn and Liz run in and take over applying pressure. 
Sonny runs out and says: STOP THIS 
Then the police come, Curtis goes to GH.. and yada yada. Then Anna and Sonny try to figure out which one of them was a target. 

Dante and Chase go to the hotel room to look around and find a GIANT ASS'D GUN behind the couch. Like the SWAT Team didn't see it? Dante says it's a ghost gun and shells and wont' be traceable. 

Davis girls: Krissy thinks she can maybe be surrogate for Molly and Molly hears it and isn't happy. Alexis tells Kristina to cool it about the whole thing. Kristina doesn't think so. Alexis and Sam say carrying someone else's baby isn't easy.  Kristina agrees. It would be a big thing to go through for 9 months. She's glad Molly and TJ didn't hear it. WHOOPS

Molly tells TJ about over hearing Kristina. She thinks Kristina wants to make everything about her. TJ says they won't decide anything until they are ready. 

Esme and Spencer go to some lame-ass class at GH.  They bicker and go inside. It has five couples. It's all about "communication" and "negotiation". It's all lame.  "you make a good team" says the teacher. 

Trina and Joss are at the park for fireworks. Tab's voice is REALLY hoarse and she doesn't talk much.. (I think because it's so bad). Joss goes on and on about Spencer looking out for Cam but thinks he also might be INTIMIDATED BY DEX!!!!!! AHAHAHHAHA WTF? Who wrote that?

Dex gets a call saying Curtis was shot at the pool. Trina calls her mom. Portia says he's alive but fighing for his life.   Trina goes to GH. 

END: 

Liz and Finn walk in the park 

Jordan has to have a press conference about the shooting. 

The Bullet is next to Curtis' spine

Joss sees Esme touch Spencer after their parenting class. 

Bruises

  MONDAY! And... it will be my only live day until Thursday!! STUFF TO DO PEOPLE. I have to admit I don't even care at the moment.  HERE...
