What Went Wrong?

 

For those of you that follow me on Twitter, I'm taking a bit of a much needed break from there. So, park yourself here because I intend to make this a safe spot with as much soapy joy as I can bring. I need this blog to keep me sane!! I need ya'll to keep me sane!! Poor Scout up there had her playroom floor defiled by Willow and Drew!! EEWW.  

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Holly tells Robert about Sidwell's diamonds. She thinks Sidwell is after her. Holly wants to finish her business in Port Charles before she leaves. 

Carly tells Brennan that Sasha was kidnapped and the guy that took her said "Tell her mother I want the diamonds back" . He shows her a pic of Sidwell. She says YEP that's the guy.  Anna comes in and Carly tells her Sidwell has Sasha. Carly doesn't know that Holly is her mother. She's like: WHAT.  Anna says they have to get Sasha ot safely. 

Lucas is on today. He wants to know about the autopsy. Portia talks to him, Brad peeks from around the corner. Brad wants to know how Lucas is doing. She says that she needs to see the autopsy report asap. Dr. Gannon walks in, Portia wants to talk to him. She tells Isaiah that Sam died. He had no idea that her donor died. She wants to know if Dr. Jones made any mistakes. Isaiah says that Dr. Jones performed the operation perfectly. 

Lucas looks up Sam's chart in his office. He finds something and looks it up in a text book. A BOOK. Then tosses the book.  He goes to the shower and then his locker. Sees a pic of him and Sam. 

Alexis is on the couch. She wakes up and remembers Sam is gone. Looks at a photo album. Knock Knock. Curtis is there. He wants to check on her and make sure she's not drinking. It's too hard to go to a meeting. Curtis says her sobriety matters. Alexis says she wants to numb the pain but she says she will not drink. She says that Finn did it with when his father died. She wants Sam to be proud of her. 

Brook Lyn hugs Michael at the Q house. She asks how he's doing. He wants to know about where Willow might be. Kind of banal and not really engaging imo. Then Scout comes in and says that "Daddy is gone, just like Mommy'

WELP.... MOMMY is on the floor with your DADDY!! Willow is crying. Willow says this has to be a one time thing. Can never happen again. She leaves but her earring? is on the floor. I think it's her earring. 

Willow comes in the  front door of the Q house-- she went out the back stairs. Michael looks at her. She looks at him.  He says where were you-- ?? She says she was at the Gatehouse. (He knows she wasn't, he went there). DREW comes downstairs. Willow acts like it's the first time she's seen him. Michael apologizes to Drew for being snarky earlier.  Scout wants to watch a movie. Willow says she'll get it. 

Michael has some app on his phone from the Q playroom and sees Drew and Willow having ZEX! I guess it's on there for Amelia. 

Scout comes out and says she couldn't find him. 

Dante goes home to an empty PH.  Sonny comes in, Dante thought it was Sam coming in. Dante gets angry with Sonny for trying to talk to him about things being ok. Sam did everything. Kids to school. Decorated for Halloween, Christmas, etc. Sonny says he'll help him. "you feel like the whole world is going dark"... Good stuff from Maurice. FINALLY Olivia comes in. "What the hell went wrong" she asks Sonny.  Dante talks to her and wants to stay at the PH but maybe the kids could stay with her at the Qs. (Of course!) 

NOTE: They bungled the kidnapping aftermath-- it was so NOTHING. 

END: 

Anna comes in and tells Holly and Robert about Sasha

Brad comes in to see Lucas. They look at each other

Alexis is making funeral arrangements for Sam online when Sonny comes in. She wants his help. Alexis is obsessing over the arrangements to keep busy. 

Dante walks alone in the penthouse. Opens the closet and sees Sam's leather coat he just gave her. Smells it. 

Michael is losing it watching Drew and Willow. Then Willow takes Scout up to tuck in "with Daddy". Michael says: Take your Time. DUN DUN DUN. He keeps watching the VIDEO lol 

Underwear

 

My head cold has gotten SO BAD!! Yikes. UGH.. I hate them too and I seem to get them a lot. Not as much as when I was younger but... dang. Still awful. At least I'm only thinking about that and not what day this is!! 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Diane walks in on Holly and Robert. Holly leaves. Diane says she's dropping off papers to drop the Baldwin case. 

Jason goes to Diane's office (she has an office!!?) and tells her about Sam. She can't believe it. 

Holly goes back to her Metro room. It's trashed and a knife is in her dress. 

Drew and Carly talk. Michael comes in, he doesn't know yet. Drew leaves and Carly tells him about Sam. He doesn't believe it.  Not much going on emotionally there. 

Willow walks in and yells at Sasha: I know what you did!! Sasha thinks it's sleeping with Michael. Willow says that she never should have told Drew and Michael found out in the worst way and blahblah. THEN Sasha tells Willow that Holly and Robert are her parents. Willow is like: Your mother is dead!! Sasha says: NO. Willow freaks and is like: DO I EVEN KNOW YOU! They argue and Sasha finally says it's all Willow's fault anyway, she kissed Drew not once, but twice. LOOK in the MIRROR!! Sasha says that Willow fits right into the Snake Pit of the Qs. She's going to quit. Then Carly walks in. DUN DUN DUN

Molly, Krissy and Alexis are in with TJ. He gives Alexis her engagement ring because she's having an autopsy. Krissy freaks out "THEY CAN'T CUT INTO MY SISTER"! OMG Molly has to explain why they do. Alexis is like: Girls STFU. TJ goes to get a patient advocate to tell them about the next details. 

Felicia talks to Alexis about the body and funeral home. Krissy can't handle it and walks away. Molly says she'll call Irene's funeral home. Felicia and Alexis hug. 

TJ asks Molly how she really is and she says she has to be strong for her mother. Then they go back to Alexis who tells her to grieve like she needs to and not be strong just for her. 

Kristina calls Michael from GH. Needs him there.. Then she goes on a tirade in the chapel about how unfair God has been to HER...HER baby..HER Sister.. :eyeroll: Michael comes in. Kristina talks about her big sister and she can't be the big sister now. Willow calls Michael and he doesn't answer. She leaves a message. 

Nina and Ava talk about their friendship. They decide to rebuild. YIPPEE! Nina tells Ava about the bar fight and Cody telling everyone that Drew kissed Willow. Ava's like: WHAT~~THEN Nina tells her she slept with Drew "more than once'! Ava tells her to tell Willow and not have a man come between them. She knows that from experience. 

Willow goes up to see Drewe when Michael doesn't answer. They end up having ZEX on the floor of one of the upstairs rooms at the Qs. Looks like the kids!! AHAHAHA. On the floor. Um, okay. 

END: 
Carly and Sasha are talking in the kitchen and men break in and nab Sasha. Sidwell tells Carly to tell Holly to give him back his diamonds. 

"My Fair Samantha'

 

MONDAY Already!!!!!

Holly and Robert. Pointless. Yada yada. She thought he'd hate her- yada yada. 

Maxie and Spin are home. Mac took the kids out. Jason comes to the door. Oh boy. He tells them what happens. Spin's face is so sad. Jason tells them he told her goodbye. They talk about Sam and how she had faith in Spinelli. 

Laura and Rocco. Rocco said that during the surgery he was thinking if only one could live, let it be his mom. Laura said that was natural. He cries.  He says Sam treated him like her own kids--they even had a secret handshake. Laura says Sam would not want him to blame himself. 

Dante and Sonny. They talk about how Sam helped him out of his PTSD and was there for him. He says he has to be strong for the kids. He tells Sonny he asked Sam to marry him. He didn't do it before because they had it all. He didn't want to rock the boat but then he wanted more. Maurice and Dom were great in these scenes. 

Then Alexis and the girls...she jumps up from the couch. Can't breathe...can't comfort them. It's painful to watch yet so true to life. Wow. She sobs that it wasn't supposed to happen. They all hug. Then Molly realizes that she and Krissy were fighting the last time they saw Sam and made everything about themselves. They talk some more and Alexis wants to go to the hospital to see if she can find out anything else. Molly realizes she got a meal service for Sam for when she got home. 

Carly is on the Q couch while Danny sorts Scout's Halloween candy. He's trying to be a good big brother and take care of her. He says he knew something was wrong when Jason told him to go to Bobbie's with Scout. He talks about how he loved Halloween and hopes he gave Scout some good memories. 

Drew is in Scout's room at the Qs ..she draws a picture of her, Danny, Rocco and Sam. He tells her that she has a big family around her to help her through this. 

END: 

Nice prayer said by Laura while they show the whole cast hugging in their own scenes. Then a dumb ending with Holly and Robert and a flashback and kissing. Just a weird insertion.

Well, writing this blog is certainly going to be interesting. I was an emotional week for sure and I was a mess on Thursday. ALL THE FEELS-- yikes. Some of the dialog was perfection and the acting? Up there in Emmy territory. And yet...yes, I have some complaints because that is what I do!!

Blanket

 

Oh boy oh BOY---here we are! Happy Halloween and I wonder if they'll remember it's Maxie's birthday today. They haven't for a few years now so I'm not hopeful. 

Today they show everyone talking like Willow and Drew, Sasha and Michael and Dante, Chase and Rocco before they show Portia and the team coming out to see Alexis and Jason. 

I do want to point out that they said they 'worked on' Sam for 30 min...and in that time, no one called Dante. He's still at the surf shop eating dinner. Or whatever. 

Elizabeth tells Jason Sam had a heart attack and they don't know why. Jason can't accept that. He has to tell the kids who are at Bobbie's. Liz says to just be honest and do it for Sam. 

Alexis won't believe she's gone. She yells and says that it's not real because she doesn't feel it. She's her mother. She goes into  Sam's room and sees her on the bed. Alexis can't breathe. The scenes with Alexis cradling Sam are heartbreaking. You should watch them. Just wonderfully written and acted by NLG. Damn. 

Jason goes in to say goodbye as well. He won't look at her at first. Says he can't believe it. Goes to her bed. Says "I believe it now, you've left us"...he cries. OMG Burton killed me TOO!! WOW, great dialog about their relationship and Jasam stuff. Watch it. I can't write it all but he thought she'd outlive him and watch Danny grow and have a family. Then a bunch of other stuff that was just cry-worthy. 

TONS of JaSam flashbacks. TONS. Like their whole relationship. He kisses her goodbye. 

Alexis gets angry and wants to talk to Portia about what happened to Sam. 

STUPID DREW AND WILLOW just keep gabbing about their crap. Sasha and Michael say they shouldn't tell anyone. I don't care about any of this. Michael went home. He said he stayed in a hotel room for the night. She didn't tell him about the second kiss. They decide to put it behind them.  They kiss and have zex on the couch. 

Drew pays Cody 50K not to tell the media. 

END: 
Dante and Rocco step out of the elevator in time to hear Alexis say: My daughter is dead. 

This was HARD TO WATCH. I cried badly when NLG was in the room with Kelly. NLG wrote about how hard those scenes were to do. Kudos to Kelly for laying there. Steve Burton was amazing too. 

It's Done

Sam is visited by Alexis. She shows her the ring Dante gave her and they want to celebrate. They talk about how good Dante has been for Sam and how much they love each other. 

Jason is taking the kids up to see Sam. They step out of the elevator and a beeper goes off. Liz and Portia run. Alexis runs out of Sam's room. Jason sees her. UT OH.  Jason tells Danny to go with Scout. Danny takes Scout out to Bobbie's. Alexis is shaking her head. Portia, Lucas and Liz work on Sam. She's not waking up. Paddles. They think a pulmonary embolism.

Portia and Trina talk about Heather leaving. Trina wonders what she had to do with it. Portia says nothing. They are happy. Trina says her partner at college didn't show for some project. I think this will be the NuGuy "Kai". 

Willow is looking for Michael who didn't come home last night. Then Drew comes to the door. Drew doesn't shut up even though Willow tells him to leave. He wants to know what Nina told her. She just says what happened at the bar. She still doesn't know that he sleeps with Nina. 

Sasha wakes up with..Michael. She flashes back to them drinking and then going at it. They say they drank too much and OH NO..yada yada. Sasha says she knew about the Willow and Drew kiss. Then she says "the second time they kissed" and Michael was all SECOND TIME???!! He gets really angry. "SHE made a choice"!! Says the boy in the bathrobe. :eyeroll: 

Dante and Rocco are at the Surf Shop eating. Rocco wants to see Lulu and Dante says he has to talk to him first. He says he asked Sam to marry him. Rocco is all: What about MOM? They talk about Sam and Lulu and such. 

Cody is at Maxie's and James is talking to him about sleeping so long on the couch. Cody is hung over. James is Andy from Toy Story. James leaves for a party. Maxie talks to Drew about what is going on. She knows they are first cousins. He drinks coffee. They TALK AND TALK

END: 

Sam dies at 5:48pm. 

THIS SHOW is MADDENING. The entire show should have been focused on Sam and the Lulu situation. WTF. . They CUT FROM SAM being worked on to Maxie and Cody, then Willow and Drew to Michael and Sasha THEN back to Maxie and CODY!. Before showing Alexis and Jason and then Sam again.  Just not how you do it.
