Rapid Fire

 

HELLO! It's WHO SHOT DREW WEEK! Who knows what's going to happen-- it's been long enough! 

I've been watching Jumanji and I LOVE THAT movie. I also love Tubi-- free and yes, a few commercials but actually less than Amazon or Hulu. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Laura wants Kevin to go to Ireland because of Sidwell. He won't go without her. She thinks if he takes Ace, it will protect them and she work it from Port Charles. If she leaves, Sidwell will come after her.

Curtis and Portia talking about her apartment and he doesn't want Britt to be her doctor. He also wants the DNA test done TODAY. She says no, too stressful to know who the real dad is. Um, OKAY? The baby is fine BTW. Liz comes in after the appointment to talk to Portia.

In the hall, Curtis stops Britt and wants to schedule a paternity test. Isaiah walks up and is like: WTF, man?! Britt says: NOPE it's Portia's choice. 

Charlotte is "sneaking out' on a horse to go see her Father--and tells Danny all about it. AHHAHAAHAHA. Supposedly the squad car won't see her if she goes thru the woods. He's like, that's dumb, I have another plan. He has a MOTORCYCLE just laying around and I guess they are taking that!! HAHAHA. 

Valentin flashes back to Charlotte visiting on Christmas Eve. Charlotte comes up the stairs. Valentin is like WTF ARE YOU DOING HERE? she can't stand it, had to see him. He says never again. She tells him she met Sidwell. He's dangerous says Valentin. She calls him Papa and leaves. 

Carly's having lunch with Brennan, they talk about him trying to catch Valentin. Emma comes in and is desperate to have Jack help her get in touch with Anna. She only had a photo and voice mail since Halloween. Jack is thinking something is up.

Kristina warns Jacinda not to testify, to leave town. She gives her a backpack with cash to get out of town. LIKE A LOT of money. NO idea where she got it. Jacinda takes it but flashes back to Michael giving her her bracelet. 

COURT: 
Josslyn is there to support Michael.

Alexis questions Dante about Michael's "flimsy" alibi and also why they questioned him first, then dropped him. Is it because he's your brother? They go into how Dante tried to sway the judge on the manslaughter case against Michael.  Then she calls Ezra Boyle. She talks about him telling Chase that he was with Jacinda at the time of the shooting. UT OH. There goes Michael's alibi.  She asks if he was alone with her ..meaning was Michael there too? LOL..he says no. Then ADA asks if he has proof he was with her. He says no photos. 
Drew is so happy with this.
Michael had no idea Jacinda was with Ezra..he's going to go find her. 

OMG THEN Jacinda COMES TO THE COURT HOUSE TO TELL MICHAEL TO LEAVE TOWN NOW. She has the backpack but the BAILIFF COMES out and says she has to testify NOW. That was just so ... I mean. WHAT

END: 

Valentin is packing up and Carly catches him

Danny and Char team up to do 'something' about Sidwell (idiots)

Jacinda on the stand..."Who were you with at the time of the shooting"...?? Then.. show ends. 

GREAT PACE TODAY! 

Sunday Surgery: Holiday WUB

 

SHORT ONE on this First Sunday Surgery of 2026!! Last week was basically a narrative recap of (mostly) the trial and what's been happening. Some couple nookie and a chance to catch up to real-time for Port Charles. I think we went from Thanksgiving to Christmas to New Years in about 4 days!  Photo thx to @Shelleymaximista BSky.

I'm having a little Chai this morning, what about you!!? Let's GO GO! 

 

HAPPY first NEW SHOW from the NEW YEAR!! Here we go. Hope your days have been good ones. I got back to work on Monday--after 2 weeks off!! OY! I hope the flu stays away, that's for dang sure. 

Charlotte is watching Ace while Laura has a meeting (at the house). She wants to takt him to the park. OMG she's BEGGING to go and Laura lets her. DUMB Laura meets with that guy she ran against. EZRA BOYLE that's it. Sid wants multiple helicopter pads on Spoon Island and on the pier. She's putting up a stink. He's like: I wouldn't do that if I were you. He tells her that she really should do what Sidwell says and yada yad. 

Charlotte takes Ace to Kelly's and Sidwell sees them outside. Introduces himself. Then Marco comes out. They talk about Charlotte living at Wyndemere at one time. Then Ace wants to go. Sidwell tells Charlotte to tell Laura he said hello ...and keep an eye on Ace. 

Cody and Molly celebrate Jan1st with pancakes. She wants more zex. He goes to carry her upstairs and James walks in with Felicia. He wonders if she's hurt. Anyway, Molly leaves and James gets his lesson.

Curtis and Jordan are in bed together after spending the night. Nothing much. 

Marco and Sidwell meet at Kelly's and Sid says it looks bad for Willow after the last day of trial. Sidwell wants to warn Laura what she could lose if she doesn't do what he says. He gets a phone call. 

Curtis and Jordan have breakfast at Kelly's. She says working for Sidwell is the best job she's ever had and she's going to enjoy it until she brings him down. 

Michael visits Sonny. Sonny warns him the ADA is gunning for him. Michael wants to trash Willow on the stand Sonny says not to do that to the kids. Michael brings up Sonny's mother marrying Deke and no one stopped her. He has to protect his kids. 

ADA and Dante talk in her office and he will have to defend the PCPD's actions. Yada yada.. trial info. Suzanne comes over with the updated witness list. They see Tracey and Michael's names on there. 

Alexis tells Suzanne that they are going to go after Michael when court is back in session. Then Suzanne is gone an Kristina comes in and is looking for her charger and rifles through Alexis' court stuff and finds out she's targeting Michael. Gets hysterical. Alexis says she has reason to believe he was at the house that night. 

END: 

Sidwell wants to get his hands on Valentin and might use Charlotte to do it. 

Alexis warns Krissy not to warn Michael about being on the stand. 

Laura is scared about what Sidwell might do

New Year's Day 2026

 

Today's show will be Tony's last day on set in 2015. Hard to believe he's been gone from our screens that long. Enjoy the show and see you tomorrow. 

IN MEMORIAM 2025

A Loving Look Back 

One of the best tributes we've seen: 

NOTE: We were almost ready to publish this and we lost another great this December. Anthony Geary was in a way, the face of 'mid-modern' GH. As a part of Luke and Laura, he was sealed into pop culture forever. Tony also did theater, guest starred on tv shows and was in a few movies. The fact that almost all of principal cast of that era of storytelling is gone just about wrecks me. I can't imagine what Genie and Kin must be feeling at this point. If you read their statements, both had GH dreams the night Tony passed and perhaps that was how deep the connection was. 

David writes: I remember when we lost Anna Lee and John Ingle. Both of those losses were very tough, as they were not only loved ones but part of our family. However, nothing could prepare us for the losses we suffered this year. Not only were the actors veterans, but they were also legends. In every sense of the word. We are going to try to pay tribute to them in our own way and remember their contributions to the General Hospital family.

There are hundreds of tributes on YouTube for these individuals. I spent a lot of time trying to come up with a unique way to remember them without imposing on the many online tributes already done. I hope you like what we've come up with. 

Leslie Charleson

Monica Quartermaine

January 12

Leslie began her career on GH on August 16, 1977. 

Dave's standout scene: Monica has lost 2 parents (in-laws), a husband, surrogate mother and 4 children. (one returned) All of those tragic scenes would be standouts. I was going to go with the day she told the Q's that she had an affair with Ned, but instead decided to do something lighter. Here is her performance at the Nurse's Ball in 1994

Karen's standout scene:  Night before the breast cancer operation

Denise Alexander

Leslie Webber

March 5

Denise began her career on GH in 1973.

Dave's standout scene: Lesley and Monica have had their share of fights. I think this was by far their biggest. And Lesley got a really good slap in. Classic soap acting by these two brilliant performers.

Karen's standout scene: Leslie confronts Rick about being the father of Monica's baby (well... ) 

Chris Robinson

Rick Webber

June 9

Chris began his career on GH in 1978.

Dave's standout scene: I chose his final performance. He played a ghost of his character on the 50th anniversary episode along with Alan, Emily, Monica and Tracy. Tons of great history mentions.

Karen's standout scene: They tell Alan about their affair-- it's a bad video but it's a goodie also for Leslie C and Stuart D. Just a great scene

Tristan Rogers

Robert Scorpio

August 15

Tristan began his career on GH in December 1980.

Dave's standout scene: Walking with Burt Ramsey on the docks and arresting him as Mr. Big. 

Karen's standout scene: I remember this like it was yesterday!! Mac arrives in PC and Robert doesn't react well!! 

Tony Geary

Luke Spencer

December 14

Tony began his career on GH in 1978. 

Dave's standout scene: Luke was presumed dead and returned to Port Chuck to see his old friend Robert. Instead he meets up with Mrs. Scorpio.

Karen's standout scene:  Has to be Laura running Luke at the Mayor's mansion. I waited WEEKS for that reunion. When he yelled "Laura"?? My heart about stopped!! Such a scene. 

Princess Pie

 

At Lulu's, Nathan is keeping watch outside and Lulu brings him a thermos. She's gotten used to him being around since Valentin got out. Just cute talk.

Carly takes Val Champagne in the attic. Don't make them romantic plz. He's glad she brought Charlotte to him. 

Curtis goes to Jordan's. She's in her PJ's which are HUGELY expensive and don't look like PJs lol.  He says he wishes the baby was HERs and HIS. OY!

Trina, Kai, Gio and Emma ring in the new year at Tri's apartment. Trina doesn't want to go the The Savoy. Emma gets a call from Cody to go watch Outback. Gio leaves with her.

Cody is making his 'house' all ready for NYE but Molly can't come she has to work. Then Outback barks and Cody decides to take NYE to her. YEP! Emma and Gio come to watch the dog and they have a romantic time together. 

Molly is in the office. Cody comes in with food and champagne. 

Emma asks Gio about the violin. 

Britt and Jason are in the Q kitchen. She wanted to hang out on NYE and he's like: Let's talk about what you've gotten yourself into. She wants to go to The Savoy or Brown Dog. He does not. 

So, my TV froze and I took it as a sign. I don't want to snark so badly on a NYE show so.. I'll say goodbye!

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Dublin called and wants Kevin to move to Ireland. Six month gig and he wants Laura to go. Jordan shows up after she leaves Spoon Island.  She hasn't found anything out about his business but his personal life-- she knows that both Ava and Lucy are interested. 

Sonny and ADA have dinner at Cafe Cherie. Just a bunch of nonsense filler. I mean REALLY A LOT OF FILLER about the trial progress. They don't even have drinks in front of them. lol

Sidwell's house: Drew is there and Willow shows up. She says that Scout was happy to go. Drew says he's pissed at Alexis about the trial.  Then Jordan is talking and asks about Ava and Lucy. Sidwell says they both have charms. Marco wants Lucas to make nice with Willow. They end up arguing and Drew tells him to knock it off. Then Willow leaves. 

Marco and Sidwell talk about Sonny and blackmailing him and then when they are done, Sonny's a dead man. 

Tracey and Michael talk about the first Christmas without Monica. She says it wasn't terrible. Jacinda comes over. Tracey wants to give her the 3rd degree. Michael looks scared. Tracey is very nice to her. Michael says thank you. Tracey says he's not being very nice to her. She can tell he's stringing her along because of the alibi. He says he isn't. She says he is. 

At Alexis' house, they exchange presents. Alexis said Scout can be there if Danny doesn't come. So, who shows up: YEP. Danny. He was just popping over.. Alexis isn't sure he should stay. They go make a snow man. Then they tell Danny he has to leave. Tears all around. Cody takes Danny home. 

END

Scout tells Willow she saw Danny but Willow seems cool to keep it a secret

OUTBACK IS ON TOMORROW!
