Daytime Emmys: General Hospital Sweep

 

Jane Elliot receives the Gold Circle Award 

Outstanding Daytime Cast 

It was a good night for our show!!! It won all the major categories such as directing, editing, writing and outstanding daytime show. Whether you agree or not, GH had some kick-ass episodes and arcs to choose from, especially Sam's death.  

Just putting this here because writers on ALL the shows work tirelessly to bring it to life with very little thanks. I say this as someone that criticizes all day long when I'm not feeling it. I can't imagine having to do this year round. Do their heads ever SWITCH OFF?? We think about the show--what do they do? Dream it? Probably. 

Just as we thought, NLG won for her anguish over Sam's death. So deserved. I love her work and am glad she's won another Emmy. 

Alley Mills won for best guest actor and even if you didn't like the character, he acting was spot on. Especially the transformation from psycho to hip-replacement-Heather. 

And... JJ won for supporting performance. I personally didn't think his stint was Emmy worthy but congratulations nonetheless. 

SOME LOOKS: 

There was also a nice In Memoriam that I'll try to find and get up at some point. So heartbreaking the number of actors we lost this year. 

I personally didn't watch the show (it was only online) because I was out last night. The Daytime Emmy site is supposed to have it up. 

CONGRATS TO GENERAL HOSPITAL! 

THE CAR

WE HAVE REACHED FRIDAY!!!!! HERE WE ARE! Tah DAH! Remember tho: It's not "Friday' on the show so if there's no cliffhanger, don't be all mad. 

TODAY: 

Brook is getting ready for Ronnie's tea party. She's dressed for a funeral or what! Michael talks about Willow and the kids. He says he can use the situation to his own advantage. Willow won't see the kids. Brook is getting a bit suspect about his motives. He actually says; Willow's out of the way now. little smile. Brook tries to plead Willow's case a bit. Michael's like: NOPE don't care. HOPE She goes to jail forever. 

Willow's telling Marty they have to tell the judge it's all Michael's fault. He's like: CALM IT DOWN. Drew comes barging in. She's like I DIDN'T DO IT! He says I KNOW! They hug and I swear she had a little smug look on her face. She tells Martin that she doesn't have an alibi because she walked alone. Martin tells her that he can't represent her after the hearing because hes' Drew's attorney. They'll have to hire a great defense attorney. He leaves. Willow tells Drew he was right about Michael all along. 

Nina is talking to the ADA with Marco. She says the footage from her apartment is faked. ADA says NO and you should take the plea deal because it will be mild. Nina's like NO! I can't do that to my daughter. Marco tells her to take it. Nathan walks in. HE tells her to take the deal. She says ok, she lied but that's the only alibi Willow has. If NINA doesn't do it, she could totally get life in prison. 

Carly's acting all cool around Joss....but dropping hints about 'being still and calm' because she hasn't been herself since Dex's death. Joss flashes back to killing Cyrus. Says going to "Easter Island" was the best decision of her life. She says it gave her back her power. Carly's trying like hell to get her to tell her about being in the WSB but Joss is doing a good job at lying. 

Dante and Nathan meet at Bobbie's. Nathan wants to talk about Nina's charges. Dante tells him. Nathan is like: She's just protecting her daughter. They talk a bit more. Boring.

Jason is waiting for Britt outside Bobbie's.  He wants to get his stuff. She flashes back to her note from "C" in the medicine and wants to go up with him.  Then she asks him to co-sign a loan for her. Nina's arrested and her mom hates her. Nathan has no credit. He offers to buy her a car and she says no. Then he finds out she wants a MERCEDES and says: You can't afford car payments on this OR insurance!! He finally signs it 

Anna is talking to Brennan about Charlotte seeing Valentin. She says she knows its about Faison. He says he can't tell her. She says they have to work together on this. He says it's not about Fiason and none of her business. Anna says he has NO clue about Faison. "He's DEAD" says Jack. Anna says she saw them put his brain in a jar "BEST DAY OF MY LIFE" BUT she says, his plans are twisty and she knows him. He's like whatever. She tells him to go to hell and leaves. 

END: 

Dante comes into the Qs and tells Michael to talk to him off the record "did you frame Willow"?

Joss says she and her mother had a good talk, nothing about WSB so I think Jason relaxes

Carly flashes back to finding out about Joss and then Jack walks into her kitchen

Willow tells Drew to tell the court he saw Michael shoot him so she can save her kids 

MONDAY: 

Tea Party Fun

Shock at the hearing? 

Dante tells Michael to turn himself in (not sure what or if Michael confessed to hiding the gun)

HOLY MOLY!

 

So, here we are AGAIN-- and I THINK today is the day Carly finds out about Josslyn being WSB. Yesterday's show was SO fun with the Ric stuff! 

Ric sees Molly and is hugs her. Molly wonders where he was. HE's like, um.. the DETOX thing was a CULT! ahahaaha! I escaped after being drugged and Cody and his dog found me in the woods. PFFFFFT! Kristina is like: What a hero CODY IS! Thank GOD! Molly and Cody take him to the hospital. Liz sees him and is like: WTF. He says he was lost in the woods. He's going to go get checked out. He tells Liz that Nina paid him to take Willow's case. 

Alexis, Ava and Kristina look to see if the money transferred. IT'S DONE! they all have what they want. Car is destroyed. Ava has her money. Alexis has the funds back in Ace's account. BUT She's afraid Laura will ask questions and Ric will want revenge. 

Today, Carly is in the kitchen looking at roses from Jack Brennan when Jason walks in.  She says Joss told her about Vaughn being WSB. Jack couldn't tell her because of classified info and she gets it! Jason is like: HE"S LYING TO YOU and has all along! He tells her Joss is in the WSB. She doesn't believe him. He's like Um, I SAW her in CROTIA pretending to be Vaughn's WIFE!! Carly's faces are worth the watch today!! OMG she cries and Can't believe Anna knew. Jason knew for a month! HOW? How did it happen. Jason says Brennan recruited her because he wanted something. 

Valentin tells Brennan his other condition to telling him about the Faison project is to see Anna. Brennan says NOPE. Presses Val for info about Faison. "Why are you so interested in a dead man" he asks. Brennan says Britt and Nathan have turned up in PC and they were dead. Valentin asks if he thinks Faison is alive. Brennan: No, but his work continues. What does Britt have to do with his? Valentin says she's just  cog because Faison wouldn't let her lead. He's not working alone.

Lulu and Charlotte talk on the plane. Char wants to see her father again. Boring convo

Anna finds out forensics didn't turn up anything at Nina's apt. Dante tells her about Valentin seeing Charlotte. Anna says well, Brennan must need big information if he agreed to that! She says she doesn't like the timing of any of this. Timing is weird. They talk about Faison's brain and she knows he's dead but with Faison, nothing is as it seems. Says he's fixated on Nathan. OMG she says Valentin did work with Faison before and knew Peter August. PETER AUGUST MENTION! 

At the Metro, Dr O and Nathan are going to eat but Liesl sees Britt and is like: I've lost my appetite. Britt goes to leave and runs into Rocco getting off the elevator. He's having dinner with Nathan and Dr O. NOW Britt wants to eat with them. Dr O is snobby to Britt and Rocco notices. James tells her to cool it. They make amends and take a 'family photo'. Rocco asks why Nathan didn't grow up with Dr O like Britt did. She says that they had to hide him from Faison

Felicia and Elizabeth talk about James. Felicia is afraid that Nathan will want James to live with him. She says it would break Spinelli's heart and James needs to be with his sisters. 

END: 

Rocco texts Charlotte the photo. She remembers Valentin saying not to trust Britt 

Anna says that if anyone could pull a back from the dead, it's Faison 

Carly loses it and wants to 'save' Josslyn. Jason says she can't because it will be too dangerous for her. 

Really good Valentin/Brennan scene about Faison and the project

NOTE: I could not do all the details in today's show justice so WATCH IT! 

What's the Safe Word?

 

HUMP DAY! The show has been moving along and I am loving it!! Yesterday was just perfect.  Pinching myself lol 

Steinmaur: Lulu goes to talk to Valentin about seeing Charlotte. Charlotte is in the hall with Brennan. I thought NuChar was Nelle at first. Lulu and Valentin talk about Charlotte and she goes out and gets her. Charlotte runs to Valentin and they hug.  She calls him Dad instead of Papa and he knew there would come a day when it happened. He tells her not to trust Britt Westborne and tell Rocco the same.

Brook and Chase talk about accepting Ronnie into the family so the house stays in the family.  She wants to throw a community tea party for her.  

Ronnie goes to eat at Bobbie's where Gio is now working. They talk about the Q house. Why he left there, family history yada yada. She tells him not to stay angry too long. 

Ronnie goes to the Qs and Brook Lyn says: HOW about a tea party! Ronnie acts weird and says she has nothing to wear. She wants to pass. Then Brook uses Monica to make her say yes. "She was such an important part of the community". She says yes. Tracey walks in and is like: YES to what?

Tracey barges in on Lucas and Marco's lunch, shoves Lucas out and says she needs a lawyer. Wants Marco to get rid of the 'squatter' in her house. Lucas says: You are paying for lunch! Marco tells her they can contest the will but it will take years to get her out of the house. He says she should try to get other people to see she's a problem and that might help.

Britt and Vaughn end up at The Metro Bar and start talking. HOT NEW BARTENDER ALERT! He wants to ask her some questions. She calls him a surfer dude and then Lucas walks up. Britt mentions Brad and wonders what Lucas did to him. His phone number is changed and he's not on socials anymore. They banter about things and it's fun. Lucas then yells at Vaughn about hurting Joss. 

Molly goes to Dante with concerns about where Ric might be. She wants him to ping his phone. They find out it's RIGHT IN PORT CHARLES! 

Alexis and Ava are at the house, waiting for the money transfer. Looks like there's a lock on the app timer and it will be midnight until it's done. They talk about their 'peace" and Ava says Alexis is a good mother. Alexis says same. Krissy comes in: WHY IS CODY'S TRUCK PARKED OUTSIDE?? They figure he came to see Molly. Ava and Kristina are going to go give Ric some water. 

MEANWHILE... CODY FINDS RIC! Cody: Um, you and Alexis drink too much, you have a safe word? AHAHHAHA. Ric's like UNTIE ME NOW! Cody hesitates. Then HE LETS HIM GO! Ric has a plan.

THEN ALEXIS CALLS MOLLY and RIC AND CODY WALK IN!! HE demands that Alexis call Molly...NOW.  Ava and Krissy find out Ric is gone and run upstairs. Ric wants the women to tell Cody how they kidnapped him. They all talk about the blackmailing scheme. Then Ric tells him about what Kristina did with the car accident and trying to kill Ava. LOL!! Ava's like: Wait ONE hour Cody, we'll pay you! Ric says he'll pay more with a finders' fee. 

END: 

Molly walks into Alexis house just as Cody says they are all nuts and is going to leave! 

Brennan says that Valentin will now tell him the 'final Caesar Faison Project" 

Lawyer City

 

Tuesday! Sun is out!! Our soap is on!! The world's on fire but our butts are here!! For the next hour, life is good. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Liz 'finds' Ric with Outback. She goes to the basement. I think this is a dream. It is. He wakes up when Krissy comes in. Tomorrow is the day Ava's account will be paid and they'll let him go. He says she's turned into a bad person.

Cody and Molly talk in Kelly's. She's writing her book and needs cowboy advice. Meet Cute talk. Liz comes in later and wants to help Willow. Wonders about Ric. She's suspicious about him leaving. 

Sonny and Carly ask Michael if he knew Willow was going to be arrested. He says he had no clue. Michael says he doesn't even care if Willow is guilty or the evidence, he's just glad she's arrested. Diane comes over. She's smelling a rat in Michael and doesn't buy the whole Willow had Edward's gun. Sonny asks if anyone was over at Liz' in the last 2 days. Carly says: If I answer you'll have to marry me. Then she admits she was alone in the house and Liz took a call. Diane then asks if Michael was there. He says yes...and Sonny looks at Carly like: UT OH. Diane says: OMG no jury will believe either of you of not planting that gun LOL 

Martin goes to tell Drew that Willow was arrested. HEH. Drew freaks out, tells him to get her out. Calls someone. It's Sidwell. Drew wants him to make it look like Michael bribed the judge and they'll think then that Michael shot him. Sidwell says: Um they found the receipt in YOUR SAFE so that's out. Drew thinks Sonny put it in there. 

Ava and Alexis are waiting for the money transfer in Alexis' office. They talk about maybe making peace after all of this. 

Nina calls Ava who's with Alexis in her office. She NEEDS Ric, her lawyer. Ava's like....um.. well.. um. then she says she's been charged. Marco is going to represent Nina and goes to the PCPD. ADA talks to Nina about her charges. Says the timestamp is off on the apartment videos and they know she lied about her alibi and Willow's. She didn't shoot Drew but she gave Willow her alibi and that's against the law. 

Willow gets brought into the PCPD. Nina goes insane. Demands to talk to her. ADA lady is like: Um, no. Willow cries to Dante. "I LOVE Drew, I couldn't shoot him"!! Martin comes in to calm her down. He's going to try to get bail. Tells her not to talk to anyone! 

Chase and Dante talk about the arrest. Dante says they had to arrest Willow right then because the arrests had to be at the same time.  Later, Chase asks if he can talk to Willow to tell her the kids are ok. 

END: 
Willow tells Chase Michael set her up

Diane sees trouble ahead for Carly and Michael because of the gun thing

OUTBACK IS BARKING outside of the basement with Cody--who brought a rope to Molly. 

Ava gives Kristina the car keys and the money hasn't come thru yet! UT OH! 

TOMORROW: Lulu goes to talk to Valentin

Mundane Monday but then BOOM!

 

It's MONDAY! I had today off and its' a gloomy day out here. We had such great weather for so long, I won't complain!! 

THIS WEEK LOOKS great on GH!! The spoiler reel looks so good. Ric is found.. Carly finds out about Joss and someone is arrested for shooting DREWBY! Tah DAH! 

Well, that wasn't the case today. It was very VERY dull, imo. OMG IT WASN'T AT THE END THO!!!!!

Chase and Brook are wrapping up Lila's tea set and Chase is talking about the case. Brook Lyn is a bit jealous of Willow. Chase wonders how he got so lucky. 

Nathan walks into Anna's office where she and Dante are having some coffee and donuts. He gushes about James. Then Dante leaves. Nathan wants his job back. Anna's like: Um, not that easy. They talk. He says he'll take the test again, go to therapy. She says they have to find out where he's been. They hug. He gives a sinister look behind her back. 

Drew wants Willow to move back into his house with him. She says no, she's just getting somewhere with Michael and she's not going to risk it. He tries to talk her into it. She says yes. :eyeroll: 

Kai and Trina go to Drew's house to 'cover their tracks before he gets home" HELLO THE PCPD has been in there for a week!! They flashback to their actions that day. Over and over. They figure out the shooter didn't go through with it due to the fact that Scout's ringtone started playing. He remembers the bat and his fingerprints. He freaks. Trina freaks. 

Curtis doesn't think he and Portia should get a divorce just yet. They might be suspects and that way they can't testify against each other. Portia's like: Well, I could have killed him in the operating room, they aren't going to say it's me. He's afraid they are going to say it's him.

Carly's at Bobbie's, working in her blazer. Nina comes in and is happy. She's happy Michael is doing something good for Willow. Carly's like: WTF you talking about?  Then she yells at Nina for sleeping with Drew. Nina says well, Michael might be arrested soon so....neener neener. Just dumb arguing.

Sonny meets Michael at Diane's office because Michael is going to need a lawyer. He asks him if he shot Drew. Michael says he said no already. Sonny says well, your mother isn't here now, you can tell me.  Michael gives the story of being with Jacinda. Sonny doesn't buy it. Diane will defend him but it's a flimsy alibi. Anyway, Michael is basically plotting to have Willow never get the kids back. 

Next scene, Sonny is talking to Dante asking him if Michael is going to be arrested. 

END: 
OMG... so Sonny thinks Carly's about to be arrested. He gets the jet ready and goes to Bobbie's. Then Chase comes and WE think Carly's going to be arrested but CHASE ARRESTS NINA AS AN ACCESSORY TO MURDER!!!!! 
THEN!! Anna and Dante go into Willow's kid's session with Michael and THEY ARREST HER! IN FRONT OF THE KIDS!! FOR MURDER! 

Oh, glorious ending Bravo. 

Sunday Surgery In a Pickle

 

Well, another week where I'm not quite sure what to say about our soap! I made it live for all 5 days and I must say, I was underwhelmed. I know we can't have all flash and pizazz every week but I want a bit more than I'm seeing!! 

The week was 'off' in that we were interrupted by the baseball shenanigans last week so the Friday wasn't a "Friday" and most felt like filler. I'm wondering if they re-shuffled to move things along. 

I'm going to have a nice iced coffee with cold foam!! Here we go go !
