Johnny Wactor Award

 

2026 Single Act of Heroism Honoree –. John (Johnny) Wactor III of Summerville SC (Posthumous)
In the early morning hours of May 25, 2024, in downtown Los Angeles, Johnny Wactor made the ultimate sacrifice to protect his coworker from armed thieves. When confronted with a violent threat, Johnny instinctively placed himself between danger and another person, shielding her with his own body.

Back to Reality

 

It's the week of my break and I'm here!! Nothing much to do--and I'm not traveling sooooooo....you are in LUCK!! That photo is from GH setting up the Marco crime scene. 

THE SHOW: 

Brennan is screaming on the phone trying to find Jason. They won't tell him. Carly stomps in. Doesn't believe him that he doesn't know where he is. OMG they just yell and argue and...OMG shut UPPPPPPPPPPPPPP. Brennan doesn't think they'll kill Jason but doesn't think Carly will ever see him again. She cries, stomps. yada yada

Cody goes to Molly's and they hug. He says "We won". He put in some raffle tickets for a dog shelter and they won the grand prize to the Caribbean.  Molly can't deep sea fish because she's a vegetarian. Scuba diving? OK. But! It's next Saturday they have to leave. They can't change the dates. Molly says go with Mac or Dante. He wants to go with her.

Wiley keeps talking to the social worker about hookers! Is that a bad thing? Olivia said my Dad's girlfriend is a hooker.. I like her.. ahahahahaa. Brook and Chase explain things rationally and the social worker looks on, liking how they are handling the situation. Then she leaves and Brook and Chase feel like they messed up. They need a character witness. Michael says he's sorry Wiley overheard his convo with Olivia.

Kristina comes in the kitchen to get Danny's stuff for him to move to her mom's. She and Michael can't believe what's happened. They hug. He tells her there was a family intervention about the sex in the gatehouse. He goes to get Danny's stuff and Tracy and Kristina talk. Kristina thinks Tracey should support Jacinda and Michael. It's a REALLY weird talk and Kristina is pushing Tracey to "take the reigns and keep her family together" 

IN GH, Joss sees Cullum open his eyes, then he closes them. She puts on gloves and Lucas walks in. She's like: Oh hi! Um, you're back at work fast. He says he can't think about Marco too much. Tells her to leave. Geesh he wasn't too concerned about why she was in there! LOL Joss and Lucas talk outside the room. She brings him a Gatorade. Talks about loss. Lucas wants to get the person that killed Marco (doesn't know it was Cullum) Joss says her obsession with Dex's death ruined things and he should just live his life.

Nurse comes out and says Cullum is waking up.

Danny is on the bridge of Pain. Charlotte and Rocco find him. He needs some time to think. Asks about Rocco's hand. Rocco says he cut it and he's sorry his Dad arrested Jason. They say nothing will come between them. Char wonders if Jason was framed for Cullum's shooting. Danny says that Jason told him he was leaving because something bad was happening. Rocco says: He told you he was LEAVING WITH BRITT? Danny is like: BRITT? WITH BRITT? Rocco covers and says he saw Britt on the pier so he thought she was meeting Jason. OH WOW, Rocco just told them he was AT THE PIER! I'm sure that will come up again..yikes. 

END: 

Lucas asks Cullum if he knows who shot him

Charlotte says that she and Rocco will always be there for Danny.

Sunday Surgery: The Week That Wowed

I don't even know how to approach what happened the first three days last week. They were seriously some of the best daytime TV I've ever seen. Hell, I'll even go so far as to say it could stand up to prime time. I'm URGING you to watch Mon-Wed's episodes anyway you can. When I tell you I didn't move an inch during those 60 minutes, I'm not lying.

One of my friends on BlueSky suggested I'd need to have a big ol' breakfast for this one. I'm going to offer you all some brunch. Anything you want. Filler up. Get the coffee and tea. Gather round, it's going to be EPIC! 

Let's GO GO!

Then she wants to see the nursery. 

Joss tells Britt to go kill Cullum who's in the ICU in a coma. KILL HIM!! Britt is like, is the WSB saying this...or you? Joss says it's her. JUST KILL HIM! lol. Then she says, you're a doctor, I should just do it. Then Britt says, no I should do it. GEESH, where's Dr O when you need her--she'd DO IT!  OMG So Britt goes to Cullum's room to inject him and LULU opens the damn door! Wait. WAIT A DAMN MINUTE!! How did she get in there?

Recaporooni

 Today is a recap-narrative day. It had to happen at some point! 

Carly goes to Sonny's, they are trying to find out where Jason is...Then Sonny says Ric will get him out. Ric is at the door. Carly hates him..why is he here? Ric says he's going to do this and help Sonny. Carly leaves. Ric says to Sonny the WSB can do whatever they want. Sonny says he knows Cullum is a double agent and tried to kill him--twice. Tells him the connection between Cullum and Sidwell. 

Lulu and Nathan talk about Cullum's condition. She tells him she knows everything and had Liz treat his hand. She's the only one that saw him. They told her it was a knife wound from the kitchen. Lulu says that Rocco did this protecting Britt and Jason. She thinks Rocco did this in self-defense. Nathan is like: do not let him turn himself in! He tells her Jason basically told Britt to say he shot Cullum and he's obviously protecting Rocco. 

Alexis tells Tracy that Jason made her Danny's guardian. Tracey can't deal...wants him at the Qs. They argue.  Then Carly comes over and wants to know what's happening with Danny. She thinks that Alexis will give Danny too many rules --and he'll end up like Jason did with Alan and Monica. OMG STFU, CARLY

Lucas just sits and stares in Ava's apartment. She tries to get him to eat/drink. Grief stuff --Lucas thinks Marco died because of him. Ava says that's not true. Lucas is thinking SONNY did this? HUH? Um...

Britt is in her office looking at files. Joss comes in 'What the hell happened to Jason". Britt tells her about the docks and Joss is like We have to Trust each other! Britt tells her about the docks stuff-- but so far, no mention of the shooting. Oh Britt tells her Jason said to say he shot Cullum. Joss is trying to figure it all out. She got that Cullum killed Marco. 

Sidwell is at the PCPD ...who killed my Son? he asks Dante. Dante says they are just looking into it. Who would want to hurt him? ...Sidwell says: Your father. Says that Sonny abducted him but Dante says there was no evidence and Marco said it wasn't Sonny. That's a LIE says Sidwell. 

Sidwell walks out and Lucas is there in the lobby. He hugs Lucas, tells him thank you for loving my son. He hopes he comes back to Wyndemere

END: 

Sidwell cries to Ava at her apt

Joss basically tells Britt to kill Cullum while he's laying in the hospital

ANOTHER AMAZING DAY!

 

Can this pace keep up for THREE DAYS? Geesh!! WHO knows!! I'm hoping it will be another roller-coaster of a day. 

HERE WE GO! 

Britt freaks out on Portia. Wants to know how Cullum and Marco are "MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT"! Portia's like: Do I need to sedate you? Britt thinks back to Jason telling her to say he shot Cullum. 

OPERATING ROOMS: 

Marco: they find another stab wound. They start stitching and his BP falls. They cut away

Cullum: BP is dropping but Lucas gets the bullet out. Later, he's stable but critical. Lucas is done, briefs Brennan and then tries to call Marco again. Liz walks off the elevator with a terrible look on her face. Her voice is shaking. She tells Lucas Marco is dead. Lucas has time alone with Marco and it's hearbreaking.

Alexis can't find Danny, leaves a message. Chase is still in her office. 

Charlotte and Danny pound on Carly's door. They have to see Valentin NOW to help Jason. They tell him that Jason is on the run. Then they get the call from Alexis saying Jason has been arrested for shooting Cullum. Danny is like: WAHT? Carly: WHAAAT? Carly says that Jason would never shoot  WSB agent unless he HAD to. She tells Charlotte to take Danny home. The kids aren't going home though! 

Carly and Val talk about Jason. He says they are going to have to try to get him out when he's transported and he can go on the run. She's like HOW? He smiles his smile. 

Rocco is explaining everything to Lulu from the beginning. Tells her about following Britt and Lucas coming to meet her. She's like: LUCAS? MY COUSIN? Why? Then he says Lucas left and Cullum showed up. He tells her the rest. WOW, he's a good actor. Lulu is like: You were protecting Jason and Britt. Don't tell ANYONE you were there, I will take care of this!! 

PCPD: Nathan and Dante tell Jason to make his next move carefully or he could be in jail for the rest of his life. ADA comes there, Dante fills her in. Then Alexis comes to see Jason, she tells him about Marco being stabbed. ADA tells Nathan to go question Britt at GH. 

Nathan and Britt talk about what happened on the pier. He asks her who shot Cullum. She says Jason Morgan but he was protecting her!! 

Alexis comes in to talk to Jason. She says Danny insisted she go there. Says how good he is in a crisis. Tell Jason about Marco being stabbed. Jason says just take care of Danny, will you? Then The WSB comes in to take Jason into custody. It's an international thing because he shot an agent. Brennan says, be happy he's still alive. Asks if he should call Carly. Jason says no, it's better this way. He tells Alexis to take care of Danny, she's his legal guardian now. 
They take Jason out to the van.. Dante runs out and says: You'd better do this by the book! Then BRITT RUNS UP: JASSSSSSON!! 

Ava's at Wyndemere... she kisses Sidwell. A LOT She likes him, he's dangerous. He says that he's not exclusive with one woman. She says that's ok for now. Then Chase barges in: Mr Sidwell?? He tells him about Marco being stabbed. Sidewell leaves for GH. 

Isaiah talks to Portia about losing Marco, then Sidwell comes in. He tells him he lost him on the operating table, his wounds were too bad. Sidwell asks if he did it on purpose to get back at him for Africa. Then he runs to go to Marco's room. Cries..then hits himself and says he'll honor his promise to Marco to destroy Sonny. 

END: 

Valentin will get Jason out when he goes to Switzerland for trial and get the proof that Cullum is a double agent. Carly hugs him

Ava comforts Lucas outside the hospital. Great scene. 

Parking lot: Britt is yelling then says "I LOVE YOU." Jason says he loves her too. THEN DANNY RUNS UP! Jason is in the van. He's screaming.. Jason is like: Remember what I told you. Dante and Nathan have to pull Danny off the van. 

ANOTHER GREAT SHOW!

 

PHEW! After yesterday's show I hope it slows down a bit!! My fingers needed Motrin yesterday lol. I really did enjoy it. Went so fast. I know it can't be like that everyday but can you imagine if it WAS? 

HERE WE GO! 

Docks: reboot of yesterday-- Rocco shoots Cullum...then NATHAN WALKS OUT! Says to Jason: Patrol cars are 2 min out--what's the play here? Jason takes the gun. Asks Rocco if anyone knows he's there.Rocco says no. Nathan tells Jason to take care of Britt...Jason checks her pulse. After Nathan and Rocco leave, Jason wakes up Britt "Tell them I SHOT CULLUM! TELL THEM THAT" then Dante walks out and tells Jason to get away from Britt. Oh, Jason did fire the gun into the water so he'd have traces on his hand. 
Dante cuffs him. Asks Britt if Jason shot Cullum. She's too dazed to answer. Jason goes to the PCPD. Dante tells the desk guys to get a medic for Jason's hand. Then he reads him his rights. Takes him into the interview room. Says: You're usually too good for all of this!!? Assaulting me? Shooting a WSB agent in the back?? Can't figure out why Jason acted the way he did. Their sons are like brothers, that makes them like family. Jason apologizes for punching him but has to wait for his attorney until he can talk. 

Alexis goes into her office. Marco is on the floor gasping for air. Danny calls 911. Alexis is trying to stop the blood. He shakes...she's screaming stay with me..then NO NO NO! Marco passes out. Chase and another policeman come in. Alexis is yelling for the EMTs. They finally get there and take him out. Chase is getting a statement from Alexis--she says she has no idea what happened. She says she can't figure out who would do this. 

Charlotte picks up Danny. Danny wants to go to Sonny about his Dad. Charlotte says that's a bad idea. 

Britt is in GH. Gets a CT scan from Portia... it's clear. She wants to talk to Lucas-- she finds out that he's doing surgery on Cullum. Then she says she HAS to talk to Marco. Portia tells her he's been stabbed. 

Lucas is calling room service to have a card and food delivered to their room. Sends a card "Can't wait to spend our lives together". He tells Liz  that he's so happy and Marco is the one. UT OH. Then they get the call that Cullum is coming in. Lucas is going to scrub up. Calls Marco in the elevator, gets his message. Tells him he was at the Pier with Britt. He's going into surgery but text him so he knows he's ok. Lucas scrubs up as Marco is brought in. He has no idea he's there. Isaiah is going to operate. Liz helps. 

Nathan takes Rocco to Lulu's...she sees his hand. He starts crying and hugs her. Nathan talks to Rocco and asks him if he was alone. Then Lulu's like WTF! What's happening. Nathan asks if she's alone--she cant' even TELL DANTE about this. She says she is...he says to trust him. He has to go to the PCPD but don't say anything to ANYONE. Rocco asks if Cullum is alive. Nathan says he doesn't know. But you WERE NEVER THERE! Lulu bandages his hand. Rocco is not saying much. 

Oh yeah, in the middle of all this Carly and Valentin were just talking about nothing in the kitchen. Weird. She can't trust her feelings for him because she's been so wrong about men. 

END: 

Charlotte is going to take Danny to someone that can help (I think Val)

Alexis notices Danny's gone

 Lulu pleads with Rocco to tell her what happened

Jason won't tell Dante anything more

Looks like Marco is ok--FOR NOW.
