Pool Party

 Nice blue skies here and I'm ready for the show! Tomorrow I'll be out to lunch and it's about an hour away so I'm not confident I'll be back.  Next week I'll have a hiccup too-- on Wednesday.  Can't make them all!! 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Laura is talking to Dante at the Metro. She tells him Anna is home. Dante is happy as he wants to take a step back and focus on his family. He leaves and Marty comes in.  All happy he won his case in Reno. Has a lot of money now. Laura has to tell him that it was Sidwell that set it up. He asks if Kevin/Ace are coming home. She says Kevin already started his summer session. She asks Marty to rep Curtis.

ADA Turner wants Molly to take the Sidwell case. Molly would have to give up the book tour though and make an enemy of Sidwell. Molly realizes that not only can the ADA not prosecute Sidwell, she can't do it to Sonny either because he saved her life. Molly is going to think about accepting the deal.

Lucas wakes up on Liz' couch. Ric is there too. I guess he was out drunk last night. Ric leaves. Lucas chugs coconut water.  He tells her about the medicine being saline and how Marco died for nothing. He'll never get over it. 

Trina is at the pool with Kai working on her setlist. Then her mom and Isaiah walk in. She's not happy.  Asks how Portia is. Then P and I go sit at a table. Trina is happy they respected her 'boundries'. Later, Emma comes over and they tell her Anna's home. They notice Ric is with Isaiah and Portia talking about the case. 

Curtis tells Jordan the plea deal for assaulting Isaiah is TWO YEARS in jail. tee hee. Parole maybe in 8 months. He might have to do that because there's new evidence that maybe Isaiah wasn't driving and yada yada. Curtis will be pissed if he missed ANY TIME with his new baby. They need to prove Willow was set up. They are going to talk to Nina and Chase about it.

Anna's home. Is hesitant to go in but does. Emma/Gio, Mac Daddy are there with Felicia. She's happy to be home. They tell her about Sonny's dog Fizz because he damaged an end table. Anna thanks Gio for watching out for Emma. He says easy, he loves her. After tea, Anna tells Emma to go to the pool with Gio and asks Felicia and Mac to leave. She needs a nap. Dante comes in next. Anna wants to know what he knows about Cassius Faison. She says she never should have been duped but Cassius DID convince her Faison was alive and he's the reason she was in a mental hospital all this time.

Carly and Valentin fool around in the kitchen. He's happy to be out of the attic. She's still mad about Joss. They kiss--Sonny walks in and tells Carly THIS is the WORST mistake you've EVER MADE! Carly's like WTF. Val's like WTF. Sonny's NOT HAPPY PEOPLE. Sonny tells Carly about Valentin switching his pills. Carly's like: I didn't know him then. hahahaaha. It's really good banter. Sonny finds out Brennan recruited Joss. Then Sonny tells them that Cullum fire-bombed his apartment and wounded Michael. Anyway, Sonny still hates Valentin and walks out. 

END: 

ADA AND SONNY are in the LOVE DEN. :eyeroll: 

Peter comes out to Anna "now you can get your revenge" 

Danny is a Screw UP!

 

So the show is doing so well, I keep preparing for the inventible "LULL" that will surely come. Hopefully later rather than sooner!! When ARE all those newbies coming on? We still have Serena, Scout and those other guys coming right? "Robert" and... some other guy I forget. Hmmm...

TODAY'S SHOW 

THE POOL:

Chalyn are there with Phoebe. Brook says that Deception is a mess because of Sidwell's PR. Brook asks if he's heard about Willow. Then they say the adoption is almost done. Chase thinks Michael framed her.

Michael and Jacinda are there...they kiss. He's not happy to see Chase sitting over there. He tells Jacinda about the GPS/Willow. She thinks that's pretty convenient. Michael says he thinks so too but it wasn't him that did it. We find out Daisy celebrated her first birthday in June. Michael got a smash cake video from Sasha.

Chase walks over and accuses Michael of framing Willow.

Tracey is in an office at GH. Willow walks in and Tracey's like: GET OUT! Willow says she's an advisor on the board. Tracey's like well, that's stupid LOL. They talk about all the crap Willow's pulled. Willow says she and Chase are friends but Tracey wouldn't get it because her only friends are HORSES. :dead: Good banter--Tracey tells her she could go back to her cult and be a leader now ahahaha. Willow talks about the accident and thinks Tracey Framed her LOL 

Emma's home. Gio is shirtless. They talk about Anna coming home. He tells her about Sidwell and having to go to the Qs. BUT Sidwell is caught now. They talk about how much Sonny and Anna mean to them.

Danny is talking to Brennan about his Dad. Brennan wants to know who shot Cullum if Jason didn't. OMG He tells him it was ROCCO! THE IDIOT! Brennan says: Have any evidence? Danny says Rocco told him. Brennan says to just let it drop. He has nothing and the WSB probably won't do anything now that Cullum is dead. Danny leaves.

Rocco and Dante have popcorn and are going to watch TV. Charlotte and Lulu come in yelling. Char is mad Lulu wouldn't let her see her dad when he got out of the car. Lulu's like TOO BAD! Then they find out ROCCO knew too!! ahahaha. Valentin comes to the door and he and Char hug. He tells her he's cleared and wants to take her somewhere to talk. Lulu's like: NO WAY. Dante finally says he'll take the kids to the pool so Lulu and Valentin can talk. Charlotte says they'll see each other later. 

Lulu and Valentin talk. Valentin makes it clear he wants Charlotte back. He wants Joint Custody> She's like NO WAY. He says she can't keep them apart. and the problem is WITH HER. 

Dante and Rocco talk at the pool. Char tells Danny that her dad is free and home. Danny tells Char he told Brennan that Rocco shot Cullum.

Rocco tells Dante that Charlotte told Danny he shot Cullum. Dante is NOT happy.

Carly sits by Josslyn. Joss wakes up.  They talk and Joss lets her know she's not leaving the WSB. Carly cries and says she almost died. Joss says she was successful and likes her job. Says it's her choice. Hopes her mom can agree. Carly cries but finally says she will accept it to keep Joss but she does NOT APPROVE.  Then Jack Brennan walks in. 

END: 

Brennan has to talk to Josslyn alone about classified stuff. Carly's pissed she has to leave "you'll pay for this" she sneers.

Charlotte tells Danny she could never hate him, she'd probably do the same for her father.

Valentin tells Lulu to cool it with Char because when she's 18 she'll pick him anyway

Willow is convinced Tracey framed her

WSB MOMMY

 

England won their Mexico game so someone is happy here!! He didn't expect it so...even happier! 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Carly's telling Z to fire Josslyn. He's like: A MOMMY saying WHAT? Carly tells him Jack Brennan did all this and was irresponsible. Z says no can do-- 'it ain't gonna happen" .Carl smashes him in the face. He's like: I could have you arrested for that. Then he says how wonderful Josslyn is and her great skills as an agent. He's like: You'd make a good agent too! Want to discuss it over dinner? Carly: You hitting on me? Z: Is it working? She ends up stomping out.

Joss apologizes to Lucas for manipulating him during her WSB job. Lucas is very hurt and says he was looking forward to getting to know her as an adult. Was that all fake? She says no. He asks if she'd do it again. She says yes. He's disappointed and doesn't know if he'll ever know if she's being Joss or Agent Jacks. She needs a favor though. (telling Britt she's not ill)

Sonny basically blames Ava for Ethan's wound. He shouldn't have tried so hard to save her. LOL Ava comes in. They want to know why Sonny didn't kill Sidwell. Sonny says the cops came in and ADA wants to put him through the justice system. Sonny wants thanks for Ethan saving Ava's ass. Flirty fun because Maura is there. Sonny ends up leaving.

Carly runs into Sonny outside of GH. Tells him about Josslyn.

Danny tells Rocco he'd better come forward to the WSB to get Jason out of jail. "you're a minor" Rocco says no, he promised Britt and his parents. Danny's pissed. The go round and round. Rocco says HIS father is always there for him. Danny: Mine isn't? Rocco: you said it, not me. 

Charlotte tells Lulu that Val has been in Port Charles the whole time...and she knew. Lulu asks who else knew. Char says only Danny. Lulu hears Danny and Rocco yelling. Danny storms off. Lulu finds out Charlotte told Danny that Rocco shot Cullum. Rocco's mad at Charlotte now. Lulu's' mad at her too. Lulu gets a call that Ethan is in GH. They leave.

Britt tells Dante "Just let me out" LOL. Dante says no. She says it would go a long way with Rocco forgiving him. He is like NO way you selfish bitch. BYE. LUCAS goes to see her!! He tells her she never had Huntington's! She gets really angry she was manipulated the whole time. Screams at him to leave. Lucas calls Dr O though and Britt tells her she never had the disease. Britt cries about what she's done thinking they had a hold on her. Dr O is just thrilled her daughter is going to live.

Nina goes in to check on Jack who's trying to stand up. They talk about the situation and Brennan says he might not have the evidence against Drew now. Then Vaughn walks in wanting to talk to him. He wants to know about what happened with Cullum. Tells Nina about the 'person she knew as Nathan West" has died. 

Vaughn then goes and visits Josslyn. "Hello wife". He's only there for clean up then off to Borneo. They decide he needed to go away because they were too close.

Lucas talks to Ava in the GH hallway. Says Marco died for nothing. Britt was never dying.

Z tells Cassius all of this charges. He said Agent Jacks said it was all his fault. Cassius is like :WHAT? Z says that he'll face the death penalty unless he goes to work for HIM. 

Sunday Surgery: What a FINISH!

 

This was my face on Thursday-- just like: WHAT!? What am I SEEING? LOL. I do feel like I watched a short film in there. Yes, that's being dramatically over the top but dang. Acting, direction, execution and editing was superb. Just a great week to be a GH fan. 

We are going to need coffee and maybe some hang-over powders from all the celebrating yesterday? Not me-- I just had a hot dog and that was it. 

Let's GO GO!

FIREWORKS!!

I was in middle school in 1976 for our Bicentennial and let me tell you, THAT was a nationwide party. For a whole year we prepared. TV stations ran "Bicentennial Minutes" during primetime. Actors came out and told stories about our nation's birth. We sang songs, decked out buildings. My brother had a red, white and blue room with Bicentennial sheets on the bed! Every small town around us had their own parade. We had plates, cups and so much merch it was crazy. We were in Philly before the 4th and it was madness. SO many songs came out (COMIN' TO AMERICA!) and joy was in the air.  

This year? I'm quietly at home, just having dinner on the deck if the rain stops. Hopefully you have some grand plans in the works. In the meantime, enjoy these fun photos I've found around the net about GH. 
CHEERS! 

Port Charles on BlueSky published this!! It's 1983!! The 4th of July Picnic which used to be a tradition. I see Lu-- and Gail/Lee... Blackie... Claudia and Brian!! WOW. 

                                 

My friend Frank S made this awesome meme and I had to share. It's perfect. BTW, those two crazy kids that got engaged up there? Kudos, I needed that joy this week! 

Not sure who to credit for this one but Nick passed it on!! 

JULY 3rd

 DAVID reminded me of BABY BBQ Ariel for today! Happy almost 4th of July! GH was SO HOT yesterday--!! Loved it. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

It's the next day.

Rocco, Dante and Lulu are home. Dante tells Rocco that Cullum is dead and he had Britt arrested. Rocco freaks out. Dante says its for her own protection. Rocco goes off and says well she's not in danger now, so let her go. Dante says it's not that easy. The WSB wants her too. Rocco's mad and runs upstairs. Dante then tells Lulu about Nathan not being Nathan. Lulu freaks out. HOW could Nathan not know? Dante says that Dr O didn't even know. 
Later, Rocco comes down and Lulu's just sitting there numb. He says he can't help his feelings for Britt. She says she gets it. He wants to visit her but Lulu says she doesn't think she can have vistors.

Britt is talking to Vaughn in her cell. He says she'd better cooperate. She wants a lawyer. Finds out that Cullum is dead. She's probably wondering where her meds will come from. Then Dr O comes in. They talk and Liesl asks her whey she didn't tell her about Nathan/Cassius. Britt says she was so happy she didn't have the heart. Dr O tells her she finished the project.  The argue about Britt never letting her know things and it's obvious she doesn't want to be close to her muTTER so Liesl yells she'll go see the CHILD THAT DOES WANT HER. Um..ut oh

Char and Danny go with Molly to talk to the WSB to try to get their dads out. Vaughn questions them. Charlotte is so mouthy and can't hold back. She lets it slip she knew that Valentin was in PC. THEN Danny basically lets it be known he KNOWS who shot Cullum. Then he back tracks and says Cullum was a bad guy and everyone knew it. Vaughn says that the dad will remain in custody for now.

Dante comes into the PCPD. The kids ask about Rocco. Then Dante has to go talk to Vaughn. 

Carly's pestering and yelling at the WSB guy guarding Joss' door she can't get in!! WHY! WHY????? John Oliver is in with Joss. He says He's "Z". Her mom and Dr O were rescued. She asks about Cassius. He's DEAD!  Then Z questions her alone without recording about the stuff that happened. She tells everything. If you missed any, catch up today. He says Valentin Cassadine made it to Geneva and told them about Cullum. Joss figures out it's going to look terrible for the WSB that they had him on payroll all that time. So, the upshot is --Joss will lie and say it was all Cassius that did this and Cullum was the hero..IF the WSB drops all charges against Jason Morgan and Val Cassadine with a full release. They shake hands. She says Sidwell could dispute her version of events but he's arrested. Plus she's the only one that was on the dock and her story will be THE story. He tells her she has a bright future at the WSB. Leaves.

Carly tells Lucas all about her time going to Wyndemere and Nathan being Cassius. She cries a lot about Joss. She says it's ALL HER FAULT she's in it because of Sonny and SHE has to GET HER OUT. ugh.. all about her. 

END:

Cody explains Cassius/Nathan to Tracey.  James talks to Molly about it. She says her dad left too and James says he did tell me he loved me.

Felicia goes in to Anna and tells her she was right about everything. Anna wants her to tell the doctor in front of her to make sure she's not imagining all of this! POOR ANNA. The doctor listened to Anna/Felicia and ANNA CAN GO HOME!!!!

Ethan says they have to get out of the storage room and stop Sidwell. They look for weapons, then Ethan passes out. Ava slaps him. He's like WTF, AVA? Then she gets him on the table and he passes out again. She decides to go out and get Sidwell to call an ambulance. She turns to go and Ethan grabs her wrist. He wants her to stay with him. She mentions Phoebe. He tells her she's not his daughter!! 

Sonny's trying to negotiate with Sidwell. Sid wants a plane and his own pilot. Sonny's like, take me, not her! Sidwell's like NOPE. They bicker--then Sonny says CULLUM killed your son. Sidwell doesn't believe it.. Sonny tells him about the Lucas plan and how it got Marco killed. Sonny tells Sidwell how Marco was gutted like a fish and uses his death to make Sidwell get enraged. Then ADA breaks free and runs. Sonny gets the gun and is going to kill Sidwell. ADA stops him. COPS come in.

Joss slams the door in the goons face and Dr O cuts the power to the chamber and he can't get in. Now Dr O has to try to repair the wiring to get back out. 

The big guy is going to kill Carly but she gets the fire poker--doesn't hit him hard enough tho...and he says he's now going to kill her slowly. They fight..a lot. Then SOMEONE SHOOTS HIM right when he's going to clobber Carly!! WHO IS IT? CASSIUS CAME BACK!! it's Cassius!! He gives Carly the door code and she goes to get Joss out. The door doesn't work though but Dr O puts the wires together and it pops open. Joss/Carly hug. Later, Joss decides to run out and help with stopping Cullum but Carly is  yelling and saying call the police. Dr O nods to Joss who pushes Carly back, runs out. Then Dr O locks the door back up. Carly finds out about CASSIUS. Yells at Dr O to GET HER OUT. Dr O "Now I see where your daughter gets it from".

Outside, a bunch of suits and gun-guys are loading up the truck. Cassius runs out and gets in a gun fight. Takes out a guy, gets shot in the arm. Then a guy is sneaking up behind him and Joss shoots him in the head!!!!!!! OHHHH Cullum gets in the truck and starts to drive off. Joss runs after him and GETS SHOT! SHE'S DOWN! She's shot in the stomach. Cullum comes back to kill Cassius --the WSB is on the way to save the day and he's going to tell him THEY did the project and he caught them. JOSS IS CRAWLING TO A GUN-- and then CULLUM SHOOTS Cassius IN THE CHEST! 

OMG!! Anna's alone in the room and PETER AUGUST IS SITTING THERE SAYING     'you think she bought it"????? WTF!!!!!

END:
