I am subbing today with the 2 year olds. It's just exhausting lol... I don't think I'll make it in time to watch live. So here you go. Also, next week I'm in FOUR DAYS in a row all day. Yikes. Hopefully I'll watch later and then get a blog up the next day. PLUS, David and Sonya will help!
Have a good one.
PS our weather was CRAZY last night!! Just so windy and ice rain, then snow, then sleet then pounding rain!!
I'm going to have SO MUCH to say about yesterday's show and I'll wait until Sunday. Yes, I would have written it differently.
Ok, I guess we are back to "regular programming" today...so let's see what happens!!
OMG So, Jason doesn't want to see Liz when he goes to GH but wants to talk to Lucas about Carly and Brennan. He says SHE'S IN DANGER! REAL DANGER! What can we do!! Lucas says she didn't come home last night. Jason's like OMG they slept together !!
Carly and Brennan wake up together in bed. I didn't even know they were doing it 'yesterday'. Kissing, and junk.
Laura and Sonny are having breakfast and Ezra comes in and says that its' the "Mayor and the Mayor behind the scenes. " Calls Sonny a mob boss. Ezra finally leaves. Sonny agrees that maybe it would be good if they weren't seen together to often. Then Laura figures out Sonny doesn't know about the accident and that Ric is in the hospital. He doesn't really care. Asks about Liz. Laura says her leg is broken.
Then Carly and Brennan come into the restaurant giggling.
Deception meeting: Brook, LaRue, Tracey, Maxie, Lucy talking about Sidwell and the Zinc stuff. Maxie says that Sasha already said that Sidwell wasn't that bad. They decide to buy the Zinc and leave for Spoon Island. Tracey is staying behind.
Sasha goes to see Sidwell at Wyndemere and wants a guarantee that he's not going to screw over her friends. She says she has friends that can handle him. Leaves. All the ladies show up and they have champagne. Maxie has to leave to go to GH for routine bloodwork.
Oh yeah, Emma's in court. Anna tries to talk to the ADA about going easy on her and it was a non-violent protest yada yada. The ADA says she was arrested at the University and it was bad enough for her records to be sealed.
I have no idea. Then Tracey and Sasha come. Tracy hired her lawyer. Emma pleads not guilty. The ADA says no bail because she is a repeat offender and might leave town.
Gio is upset that Emma has a record an still chained herself to the crypt. She says whatever, she's been in trouble before. It was better he didn't do it.
Diane interviews Marco from Miami for a new position at her law firm. She likes him but Alexis has to meet him. He sees a photo of Lucas on Alexis' desk.
Diane and Jason talk about Jason's will. She knows that Michael is the father I guess ? And Jason says he's not telling Sonny or Carly about it.
OK, I HAVE TO LEAVE: It's 2:45 and I'm sure I'll catch it later. Weird, strange show today
We all know today is GH's anniversary!! Can't wait to see how they celebrate it. 62 years!
HERE WE GO!
This is obviously a stand-alone episode BTW. If I were you, I'd watch on Hulu with no commercials. Very choppy and a LOT of commercials today, I swear.
Alexis and Curtis were at an AA meeting together. They talk about GH being a good place.
Donna is there for a shot, she did well and has a sucker. Felica, Carly and her go to say "hello to Aunt Bobbie's photo" . Felicia says nursing was Bobbie's calling.
Laura is dedicating the new cardiac wing today-- Sonny is with her. Tracey gets off the elevator she says Monica is too ill to attend. She can't be around many people. Laura's sad but understands. She says her mother had great admiration for Monica.
Portia and Terry come down to join everyone. Anna and Mac are there. Anna had an infusion for her blood thing (they remembered!!) and he wants to take her home so she doesn't have to Uber.
Tracey is at the memorial wall, Stella comes along and calls her a softie at heart. They talk about Monica not being able to make it.
Maxie brings packages to give all the nurses. Deanna and Amy pass them out. They get all sorts of goodies. Felicia and Stella want one too.
Lucy is at Wyndemere talking to Sidwell about the Nurses Balls over the years and they show a flashback of her gowns. He says it's a worthy cause. Lucy talks about AIDS/HIV and the toll it took. Anyway, he agrees to underwrite the ENTIRE BALL this year. ALL of it.
Sonny is the donor to the wing. He left his name off because Monica doesn't like him and he wanted to honor just her. :EYEROLL: Alexis has a scene with him and said she saw the paperwork on her desk. He's such a hero and good person.
Ned and Tracey's talk is wonderful. Good stuff, they talk about their history and Alan and Monica.
Carly and Sonny talk about the hospital in the chapel. About the memories and yada yada.
They do the dedication and then Lucy runs in at the end to say Jenz is the sole person for the Nurses Ball.
ugh
Today was a big let-down. Very dry and just boring...I can't even explain it. No warmth or charm. Just very disconnected. NO FLASHBACKS except Lucy's dresses.
It will be an interesting day because of the accident and then we will have the Monica dedication!!!
Drew tells Boyle to get the crypt bulldozed NOW! Hangs up phone. Then Kai leaves just as Alexis walks in. He has to talk to her about Scout. He tells her Willow is moving in and her kids. Alexis says that it's not a good idea. He says: Sorry! not even asking your permission, it's happening! Alexis gets a call from the ER to get down there.
Anna arrests Emma at the crypt but won't arrest Tracey "you're on your own, that's her property". Ezra tells the Trooper to do it. Trina is still live streaming. Yuri is standing with Tracey. The cops arrest Yuri and pick Tracey up who's in the lotus position sitting lol. Then she mugs for the camera. Diane comes with a cease and desist from Monica and is Tracey's lawyer. Monica called the Land Trust and gave them some of the lake property in exchange for the crypt land. "Next time, ask her first" Diane says to Tracey. Tracey and Gio go to get Emma out of jail.
Anna lectures Emma about protesting and how she went about it. Emma says she's going to do good in the world. Emma thinks that Anna's lost her way and how to help others. Anna says that things have to be done inside the law. (um, like she does that). Emma finally says she was there mainly for 'her mother'. Robin told her Edward saved her life with the last dose of the virus thing. Then she says that Robin loved Alan and he stood by her when she had HIV. She can't let them be moved. Good scene. They hug at the end. Mac comes in and has to talk to Anna out in the hall. He has a folder with him.
Kristina is at the accident scene. She sees that it's Ric behind the wheel. Lucky comes up She says: it's supposed to be AVA! I saw the parking sign! IT was her parking spot and I cut the brakes. Lucky tells her to shut up and go back to Charlie's and pretend she was in the back doing inventory all day. Then Lucky sees Liz being brought out. She's unconscious.
Ric and Liz at GH. Ric needs surgery. Lucky wants to be with Liz. Isaiah says no and makes him go out to the hallway.
Molly is at Charlie's looking for her sister. Bartender guy says she's not there. Cody comes over. They talk and she says thank you for getting Ric to apologize to her mom. She gives him her card for the 'next time he's in trouble". Mac Daddy walks in! He and Cody go talk.
Kristina walks out from the back and tells Molly she was so BUSY DOING inventory. Molly asks if she can help and she says no. Molly also asks if she can just hang. Kristina says: SURE. Molly gets the call that Ric is in GH and rushes out with Cody and Krissy. Mac says "keep me posted".
BACK AT GH: Molly, Cody and Krissy arrive. Lucky tells them Liz was in the car too. Kristina's face falls. She calls Alexis to come to the hospital and she's crying. Alexis gets there and Ava does too. Molly and Krissy glare at her and so does Lucky. Alexis tells her to leave because she upsets her girls because of the baby. Ava leaves. Lucas comes out and asks Molly to sit while they give her Ric's prognosis.
Isaiah tells Lucky Liz needs to have her broken leg set when she wakes up. She's being transferred upstairs.
Sonny and Jason are still holding the guy at gunpoint. He tries to escape and Jason fights him and he falls and hits his head. It was pretty funny. The guy is dead --that was a fail. They are taking his phone and computer to try to find information. Then they are back on the plane and talking about how PEOPLE ARE GONNA PAY. OMG what a waste of time.
END:
Emma has a bunch of prior arrests
Ric is being taken into surgery and they'll do all they can to save him
Lucky tells Liz he loves her and she wakes up
Drew finds out Monica stopped the whole crypt thing and he has to use the name "Cain" again.
TOMORROW IS THE DEDICATION OF THE MONICA WING ....
GH again had some great scenes and one stellar day. Then it just dissolves into playing narrative catch-up and filling our time with useless scenes. I keep going back to the fact that if this was a 30 minute show all the fluff would be cut and the action would happen at a better pace. BUT!! That's me.
I just found "cold foam' for my coffee and dang! No more spending too much money on take out coffees anymore!! Grab what you got and let's go!
We made it to Friday and I didn't miss a DANG DAY!! woot!! It's been an up and down week with a lot of filler so far. Here's hoping today is a good one!
MONICA MENTION by Liz to Tracey. She wonders how she's doing. Tracey says 'it's a good day". She tells Liz about the Crypt stuff. Yuri calls Tracey to get home.
They are tearing down the crypt. Trina comes out and so do Gio and Emma. Boyle is there. They tell him he has to serve Monica before he can tear it down. The trooper gives the paper to Yuri and he's not even an owner. Then Trina live streams all this. Gio brings up the fact it's a public health issue to dig people up (true). Then Emma chains herself to the crypt ahahahhaa. Tracey gets there and is yelling at Boyle. Emma says she swallowed the key. Trina is still streaming. Tracey chains herself to Emma. Says to the camera this is all Congressman Cain's fault.
Drew is talking to Kai in his office about doing more in politics. Then he tells Kai that he knows doctors that could help him and give him an operation so he can play football. He'd pay for it. WHY asks Kai. Drew just likes the kid. He's suspicious. Drew wants to tell him his side of the story with Curtis. Lies about it. Then Kai wonders what will happen if the operation doesn't work.
Lulu and Lucky talk in a closed Charlie's. I mean, can JJ be shown with more than 1-2 people at a time?? They talk at the bar. She wonders if it's a good idea if he and Liz go to NYC together. "You can't recreate the magic". I have no idea why she's saying this.
Sasha and Maxie talk at The Coffee Corner. Sasha shows Maxie the ultrasound. boring. Oh this is all so Sasha can try to get Maxie to hire Sidwell because Sidwell paid her 250K to change her kidnap story. I totally forgot about that. It was EONS ago!!
Kristina comes into Ava's apartment. Ric hides because he just made peace with Alexis and wants no trouble. Ava and Krissy argue. Ava calls the baby "Irene" Kristina says "ADELA"... "that's not what it says on her gravestone' says Ava. They argue about Avery's custody. OMG Ava tells her she'd do anything as a mother, something Krissy will never know ! AHhhhhhhh! They yell. Kristina says that Ava took her brother and her baby but she won't TAKE HER FATHER --she won't let her. She leaves. Ric comes back out. They talk about Liz and Ava says he still loooooooves her. Then Liz comes to give him the papers about Portia. He goes to give her a ride.
Kristina goes to the parking garage and sees a car in Ava's spot (it's Ric's) she finds TOOLS just hanging out and takes out some wire cutters. Then she goes to Charlie's and tells Lucky she got into a fight with Ava and "made a mistake" she leaves. Lucky runs after her.
Sonny and Jason are on the plane to Toronto. Just the 2 of them. They talk about Michael's skin grafts. Yada yada. OMG then in the next scene, Sonny is just sitting in an apartment (Maxie's old place, they didn't even try to change it) and Solinsky comes in. Sonny holds a gun on him. He says he wants to know who hired him. NOW! They guy says he has no clue who hired him and he was paid in crypto. Then he tries to run out the door but Jason is there to stop him.
END:
Krissy is driving, trying to stop "Ava" ...
Ric doesn't have any breaks, crashes
Sonny and Jason try to get the guy to talk
Well, it's sunny and cooler here... I'm your official weather girl for Western NY, that's for sure.
I'm ready for the show:
Jordan and Isaiah are about to get busy after a hike and Kristina is trying to call him. He doesn't answer. Jordan thinks Boyle might be right about Laura and Sonny. (being too close and the mayor job). She says Laura should have moved the project to Sonny's territory and made him less dangerous but she didn't do it. BUT Jordan thinks Boyle and Drew are worse so for now, she's team Laura. Brick shows up and sees that Isaiah is there. :CLAPPING: buh-bye!!
Kristina is at Sonny's and Molly comes over. She wants her sister back. Kristina is acting indifferent. Molly says with Sam gone they have to get closer. They are going to the movies together. They make up.
Nina is at Ava's. Ava has to drop off Avery (? Sonny's at his office??) and says she sees "Sonny with new eyes now" . Then she takes Avery to Sonny's and Krissy opens the door. Ava asks if Sonny's ok because if he's not, she should know. Kristina says not her business. Ava says it is.
Alexis is laying on the floor trying to 'meditate' and Diane comes in alarmed. Alexis says no worries, she's just trying to gear up to strike a peace with Ric. She wants Diane to stay with her when she talks to him. Ric comes over and apologizes--Alexis and Diane are stunned. They end up shaking hands.
Molly comes in and finds out that Cody helped change Ric's mind.
Sonny and Jason argue about Ava not giving him his meds-- Jason is pissed. Brick comes in and has on the WORST lavender suit I've ever seen Pffffffffft. And I lived thru the 70's! He found the hired hit man on the dark web and he's in Toronto. Jason is going. AND SONNY SAYS HE IS TOO. Jason says NOPE Sonny says YEP. He thinks finding this guy will be a stress reliever.
Liz and Lucky are at Charlie's. He got her food from NYC. He wants to go there for a few days with her. Flashbacks to the first NYC trip those babies took!! awww that's where the subway token came from!! Anyway, Liz has to go to work but yes, she'll go to NYC.
Brook and Chase talk about Lulu quitting. She says it's his fault. He says he will protect her and oh, Lulu is basically a bitch.
Felicia tries to get Sasha to put Jason on the baby file and she says no. Felicia says the Scorpio fam will help her take care of the baby. She also wonders if Jason will be on the birth certificate. Sasha says no. Felicia says he could change his mind anytime.
Stella is doing the kidney PSA about high blood pressure and kidney disease. Like a lot. Zzzz. They talk more about it. More and more.
