GENERAL HOSPITAL NEWS!!

Well, first things first: Dom Z is coming back! That's right... he'll be back for "12 weeks"-- which might extend into more. Happy? Sad? I do think he fills a hole for both Lulu and Sonny. Maybe if Dante is back we can lose BRANDO. YEP. Bye. 

On to the BIGGER News! Kelly Monaco is being temporarily replaced by Lindsey Hartley  (of Passions fame) Go check it out on Daytime Confidential.  Why you ask? Well... Kelly's Mom took to twitter to let everyone know that Kelly had "difficulty with the mask" and even tho she tested negative for COVID, she was told to go home. 

SO, does this mean they don't have to wear masks next week? Mom went on to explain that Kelly is claustrophobic and has been since she was a kid.  Okay then! Here's hoping she's healthy and working soon. I don't know much about Lindsey but it will be a little exciting change in the show to talk about! 

Don't You....Forget About Me..

"I'll be alone, dancin' you know it baby"....

SO REMEMBER, I'll be back recapping starting MONDAY!! I think they had some footage saved for "reopening" and also shot newer scenes. Either way, excited to be back to OUR SHOW again. 

I just saw CA had a little earthquake that was actually around where they film. What more can go wrong? LOL....(don't answer that!!) 

I hope you are well. Have you been catching up on episodes? I think I might watch tomorrow to get "caught up"?? Although it was right when the custody thing was going to be decided, right? 

SEE YOU MONDAY! 

Sunday Surgery: Surgical Date Confirmed

So, looks like we are back! Soap Opera Digest writes that GH will be back with new episodes August 3rd!  I was skeptical but it's happening. 

If you look at the spoilers for that week you'll see that GH is basically continuing as it was. Doesn't look like it's missed a beat.  Nelle is "Shaken"... Sonny is "devastated"...Willow and Michael get closer...yada yada. I guess Wiley is given to Nelle, Mike probably dies and we'll get some Cyrus/Brando interaction. How do I feel about this? Can I be honest? I'm a bit let down. I was hoping for some big shake up to happen and GH to be REALLY changed.  The show was boring before COVID hit and I was looking forward to the Nurses Ball to take the yawns away. I will tune in of course but it's not making me excited. 

                             

Dom Z became a US Citizen!  Did you know he was Canadian? YEP...he took to IG to let us all know he's now able to vote in the good ol USofA. 

Will you be watching when the show is back? One of my greatest fears is that it will have lost viewers that just won't bother. One of the reasons I was hoping for something dramatic to happen when it did air again was so that people would HAVE to tune in. "See who died while you were gone"!!  or "Port Charles one year later...who survived"?? 

Have a great Sunday. We are in good shape here in NY and our numbers continue to go down. We have another whole month until school so that's also a good thing. I celebrated my..gulp  30th wedding anniversary this past week and I think the saying "the days are long but the years are short" is so true! Time flies.  Regis is gone. He was my birthday buddy so I always had a little bond with the man (he and Gene Simmons lol). 

My advice for today? Have an ice cream or if you can't a sherbet... or if you can't do that... go for a nice swim! 

It's Happening....

Finola says wear ya mask and watch me on GH ! 

It's here!! GH's official site on Facebook also said they are back to work. Steve Burton put up a notice. Soooo, I guess they are back taping! Maybe we will hit the August 3rd date for new shows! 

August 3rd??

Kristina Wagner posted this on Twitter! 

So, several sites including Soap Central with Dan Kroll (whom I trust) are saying that GH will air new episodes starting August 3rd. 

I still have not heard this from my sources ... but I'll keep trying. I hope THIS IS TRUE!! It seems very soon and with CA now having numbers that look downright scary, I just don't know. 

I'll try to keep you posted! 

More purging at Days continues, and Greg Vaughn is out. Does that mean Lucky may be back? Hmmm Who would you rather have? JJ or Greg? Or maybe you're a Jacob Young fan?? 

Are you watching GH daily? I am not because they are just too close to when it ended LOL. I may do a few next week to 'catch up' if possible. It's going to be interesting to see if people DO come back after this. Here's hoping! 

Sunday Surgery: Sliding Doors

I wish I had something to report. ANYTHING!! Like even an update on something small but alas, that's a big NOPE. 

We thought taping would being this week for the show and it may still. I haven't seen anything from any actors about going back and the powers that be have been quiet. I would think if they were going back, there would be some grand-band announcements going on. 

This means...what? Not sure. There will be more reruns of near-term shows going on so that's no fun. I will never understand why they don't crack open the vault for old shows. REMEMBER HOW POPULAR THE LUKE AND LAURA ON THE RUN time was?? I mean, people would flock to relive that. Youngsters would be dragged into the fray with their moms or grams yelling; NOW THERE'S A SOAP! 

Even the Laura and Scotty love story was great. Laura also murdered someone--SHOW IT! Show Alan bringing the roof down on Rick! OR... Duke and Anna days. Asian Quarter. ANYTHING! People would love to relive the olden days an even newbies might tune in to see GH in it's glory. SPEND THE MONEY!! Now would be a great time to celebrate the shows past. 

Here are some ideas for a week's worth of shows: 

Robin and Stone's last days 

Felicia and Frisco meet

End of the Ice Princess saga

Laura comes back after being on Cassadine Island 

Anna tells Robert about Robin 

Brownstone/Earthquake 

Alan/Monica/Leslie/Rick triangle 

Lucy marries Alan 

Laura kills David 

The Ward Family 

1993 Laura/Luke/Lucky Return 

Luke's Club Clips (with the acts that were on) 

If you have to have Sonny--do the click boom with Lily 

The invention of Pic-a-Lila and Qs living at Kelly's. 

Grant Putnam --Satan the Dog 

CASEY THE ALIEN! OMG.. too fun! 

I CAN GO ON AND ON! what would you like to see?? During these times, actors would come on to set the scene and talk about their memories. But, who am I?? I know it costs money but dang, you could really get the buzz going. 

Here's hoping you and yours are still healthy, your state is slowly reopening and things feel a tad more "normal"??  Our cases are still going down but they closed bars that don't sell food because of some fools in NYC that pack them and spill onto the streets. Doesn't help the craft breweries up here!!
