Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Christmas Eve

 

It's Christmas Eve!! But you know that-- !! Feels weird to be here but I've got everything done and I could sit for an hour and watch GH. It's even sunny outside so we are pretty cheerful. 

CHRISTMAS EVE:  

Brook and Chase go to Maxie's. Nathan and MAC DADDY are there too. Dr O and Nina come too. James is going to face time Uncle Robert and Sasha with Felicia. Then Nathan and Cody are upset that James' saddle has been delayed in delivery. Cody is running out to get it at the distribution center. James wonders if people are mad he didn't go to see Maxie with Spinelli and Georgie. They say it's fine. Nathan will take him next week. Emma gets a photo from Anna showing her skiing.

 James doesn't want Cody to leave so Cody calls Molly to go pick the package up for him. Molly comes in and got it. Emma gives Gio her old digeridoo. You know that Australian instrument. 

Carly gets a gift from Jack. She's going to Sonny's house this year so she won't see him. 

Val is decorating a tree in the attic and Donna sees it....runs out. Donna goes into the kitchen and says: MOM! Come see the tree in the attic! Then Kristina pops up with ribbon for her and Brennan leaves. It was a WEIRD scene. Carly goes up to the attic. Valentin is sad about not seeing Charlotte but is grateful Carly is letting him stay there. 

Brennan is on the phone: "Pull the trigger on Britt Westborne" which I have no idea what that means, but I don't think it's literal. 

Marshall is home to console Curtis on the whole Portia thing. Stella cooked. Tina and Kai come over. Trina is sad but won't let her mother ruin Christmas for her. They talk about Christmas' past. Then Jordan is at the door. Trina invited her to apologize. Then she says she's sorry to Curtis for accusing him of cheating on Portia. The family talks and Trina gets a text from Ava. You can tell she wishes it was from her mother.

Liz talks to Portia in her office. Portia says she's suspended but she thinks she will get fired. Liz hopes not. They talk about the trial so you can hear the whole summary again. Aiden is with Lucky, Cam is in CA with his girlfriend's family and Jake stayed in Spain. She wonders if Portia wants to come over for dinner--she says no she needs to think and be alone. Then Isaiah comes in and they talk about the trial. 

Britt and Lucas have to work -she got called in. He volunteered. Britt was supposed to go to The Scorpios. Lucas is seeing Marco later. Dr O sends a pic of her and Nathan to Britt. Britt is glad. OH Britt gets her medical license back. I think that's what Brennan was doing. 

Charlotte, Lulu, Gio, Rocco and Dante are at Sonny's..Dante is uncomfortable and wants to leave. Sonny says that's the worst thing he can do. Gio does leave to go to the Scorpios. Charlotte tells Rocco he should be happy his dad is there and trying. She'd give anything to see HER dad. Krissy and Donna show up next. She wants to hear him play carols on his violin and he says he doesn't have one anymore. Carly gets there and sees Charlotte playing with the key and ribbon. She looks sad. Carly says: Come with me to get Bobbie's nativity scene, I forgot it!! Aw, she's taking her to see Val.

NOTE: Sonny says Ned and him bought Gio a violin together but they are waiting for Gio to be ready to play again. 

END: 

NICE montage at the end... Trina sings while Marshall plays the clarinet. Cute things. Brennan does lurk behind Britt at GH. Then Carly takes Charlotte up to the attic and Valentin is so happy. Nice moment. I got goosebumps. 

HAVE A WONDERFUL EVENING 

2026 predictions (and beyond)

 DAVE AND KAREN'S WILD 2026 PREDICTIONS! 

Well, it's that time again. Our crazy predictions for the future of GH. Let's see how well we do. As always, this is fiction and not to be taken seriously. 

Marco and Lucas won't last the year as a couple. 

Kristen Storms will not return. The character will be recast. Although...

If Kristen stays, I want Georgie to come back for one episode and help Maxie out of her coma and do the sisterly conversations they were always good at.

So, look who's back...and guess who will be his obsession? AVA. 
Zaccara-Jerome mobular action. I'm here for it! 

Faison will make a cameo in a flashback... 

They will be a couple ... like for real for real

Models nude for Crimson in a "Women of a Certain Age" type thing

 

Elizabeth gets her "Jessie Brewer Sweater" in February

Marco ends up almost killing his father while rescuing Lucas 

A story for Elizabeth involving a famous 'cameo' appearance of some nostalgic star. They come to GH with end stage illness and want Liz to help them with an assisted suicide. She has to fight with her moral/ethics. 

Aiden comes back on screen (RECAST) and faces choices about life and college. He wants to set up his own food/bake truck. He'd also like to move in with Tobias. 

The Tristan Rogers memorial will be a one day stand alone episode. It will involve the WSB and revolve around some caper, quite like the Sean Donnelly tribute was a one day storyline. Emma Samms will return and will have a total tearjerker scene with Finola

Also, Mayor Collins will rename the police station the Robert Scorpio Hall of Justice.

Ava and Sidwell are a match made in heaven hell and he starts stealing art from all over the world to woo her. Even the Louvre! He must kill Johnny Z first (see above)

Olivia finally gets her pizza oven. It's in an Italian Restaurant on the docks she will co-own with Sonny called "A little slice of Bensonhurst"

Tired of hearing "I stand with Kelly" on Twitter dozens of times a day, Frank brings back Kelly Monaco as a different character - and blonde.

Am I the only one who has "abducted by aliens for 7 years" on their 2026 bingo card?

Someone in Port Charles is hurting for money and starts an Onlyfans account. He does it anonymously with a mask, but gossip flies fast and furious through the town. Wonder who...

Laura finds out Leslie has passed. She's getting ready to go to the funeral and the phone rings. Guess who's at the other end laughing? 

Trim the Trees

 

NOTE:  GH will air new shows Mon-Wed and then again on Friday. I wasn't sure about Friday so I'm glad I looked. I think Sidwell is hosting a holiday event so let's hope it's juicy!

He gets there, tells Britt he'll bail her out but not Brad. Then Brad tells Britt Jason can't be "her person" if he leaves her best friend behind. 

Lulu tells Sonny and Laura she hopes Dante and Rocco don't come to blows at their family decorating fun. They talk about Rocco/Gio and yada yada. Dante comes home. They all start to decorate the tree. Laura and Sonny talk about protecting everyone from Sidwell. Then Rocco makes an announcement thanking everyone for their support. 

Ava and Nina talk about their relationship and that Nina should forgive her for warning Portia. Nina's just going on and on about her daughter and blah blah. Doesn't answer her phone. Aw, very nice scene about being friends and such.

Tough week for GH Fans. Tony's passing certainly cast a pall over the the show. I found myself thinking more about the nostalgia of things that what is happening now. BUT! We do have a week to review but I'm keeping it pretty brief and hitting the most important parts. 

Grab some toast and java and let's go go!

Britt orders a giant dessert. THEN THEY RUN! They make it to her room. Talk about seeing each other again and such. Then she tells him about Rocco. He says she wasn't ready to be a mother and gives her a reality check about that time in her life. She still bitches about Lulu though.

Trial: ADA Turner asks Kristina about DAWN OF DAY!! holy moly! She asks specifically about weapons training they went through to protect Shiloh. AND WILLOW DID DO THAT! BINGO! Then Brook Lyn is up and talks about the gun and where it was. ADA asks about their relationship and Brook has to tell about the whole family seeing them have zex on tape while in the nursery! AHAHAAHAHA. Liz is up next, talks about the wedding and Willow finding out about Nina...breaking down then living with her. Says tho she's a great mom, nurse and friend. Recess is called.

He wants to say he knows Michael shot him. She says that will make Willow look MORE guilty. he says she had her chance. 

Drew on the stand. Tells what happened that night. ADA says: Did you see who shot you?

Joss just tells Jason all about Faison's final project and Britt working on it. Pfffffft. COLD FUSION. He remembers Britt talking about that. Joss tells him about Lucas and Marco living on Spoon Island. Jason gets a look on his face. He says he saw Britt on the pier the night he got back.

Portia feels happy (ut oh)

Drew says he doesn't remember who shot him. Prosecution rests. 

POOF to FOOTAGE

 

Great to see Brad yesterday for sure!! Calling Britt a lying skank made me laugh. Loved Lucas and his first meet. Very nice chemistry. They just played it well. Also, WHY NO press anywhere near Drew's trial? CRAZY! 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Brad and Britt are having a champagne lunch at Cherie. He asks where she's been all this time. She basically tells him the entire story about waking up at The Five Poppies and working on cold fusion and also her meds. Tells him about the WSB thing (not mentioning Joss) and the bomb on her leg. Jason coming to save her. She's getting loaded! He finds out Sidwell is involved and realizes that's Lucas' boyfriend. Britt says she has to keep doing what they say or her meds will be cut off. 

Carly's home too, getting a necklace from Brennan. Umm.. okay? She's been home more and he hasn't seen her. He talks about lulu keeping Charlotte from him and he doesn't like to involve Carly or her FAMILY "in her work". LIAR pants. After Jack leaves, Val just saunters down in the OPEN KITCHEN with all the windows and asks about the necklace. He's also not happy Carly didn't give him her Hulu log in. Carly closes the blinds. Val asks how she got to know Brennan. She tells him about meeting and the Cates case and how she got off. Valentin says that Brennan probably erased that evidence. She's like WHAT? He says who do you think it was, Santa Claus? Carly can't believe he's been helping and manipulating her all this time.

 I guess Lulu left court..and is now with Nathan at her house because he brought Charlotte home. Lulu's telling him her woes about Charlotte. Then Brennan is all of a sudden there!? He wants to talk to Charlotte. Lulu says no. He says he'll take HER in if she wont' let him. She's like: FINE take me in! Brennan just keeps ARGUING AND arguing the whole thing.

Anna's in her room and French guy wants to come in, so she has to turn around. He brings her dinner. Says to keep going on her memory book and codes. They speak in French. She finds a package UNDER HER TRAY. 

Jason is at Joss' asking her if she has swept for bugs. He asks her for help. He wants to know how Sidwell is tied to the Five Poppies and Faison. SHE CAN'T ...SHE'S AN AGENT. :eyeroll: he's like: you can trust me and Britt did save your life 2x. Joss says Brennan doesn't care about her. Vaughn is gone. Jason says he loves her and cares what happens to her, she can trust him. 

Dante tells ADA Turner the security footage is gone of Willow in Drew's neighborhood. They'll have to scramble to find out what happened to it. 

Tracey is on the stand next. She tells what she did that night and why she went there. "To give Drew a piece of my mind". Then Nina's up. Says she lied to protect her daughter. Thought she was being railroaded. Then Dante is on...they talk about the footage but all they have are photos of the camera stamps and car. Alexis objects and says they need the actual footage because of chain of evidence. Judge says it can't be used. Alexis then questions Dante and brings up Michael as a suspect. 

END: 

Brad and Britt can't pay the bill. They thought both thought the other one had money

Anna reacts in horror as the book Faison wrote "The Crystlline Express" is in the package. He wrote that as PK Sinclair. and she was the main character. 

Kristina gets called to the stand. I don't think Alexis knew about it.
