HELLO! I'm here!! 

CURTIS IS THE FATHER! He and Trina are excited. Portia and Isaiah are... not.  Portia and Curtis talk. Brook Kerr is awesome in these scenes. He wants to finalize the divorce and go for 50-50 custody. One week on, one week off. Portia agrees. Portia then finds Isaiah in the shower at GH and he walks out in a towel. He's going to dress, then they can talk. She wishes the baby was his. So does he but he still wants to be with her. They kiss. 

Trina and Ava have coffee and they talk about the situation. She wants Trina to try to trust her mom again. Wise Woman advice. She tells her about Kiki and how she never should have walked away from her. 

Chase is having a tea party with Amelia who's so damn old lol OMG NO IT'S BAILEY LU! WTF! okay then! Chase is going into work his first day as a patrolman. They talk about adoption but Brook STILL ISN'T READY because..GIO. :eyeroll: Gio walks in and wants to hang out with her and Bailey. He tells Brook about Emma going to CA and then France. He's afraid she might move back to San Fran. Brook says not to worry. He will sweep her off her feet at some point. 

Maxie is laying in her bed...Georgie and Felicia are doing her nails. She's got some mascara on. lol James reads her a valentine's card from Bailey Lu. Felicia says she can hear them and feel the love. James talks to her alone. GAH. He tells her he's only been in the ER once since she's been gone and it wasn't that bad. Also a girl wanted him for a Valentine in his class and he said no because his mom was. Georgie cries to Felicia about missing her mom. Felicia cries too. 
James is still talking to Maxie. Then Georgie goes in then Felicia. Felicia holds her hand and cries. 

Of course, Nathan has to go to Lulu's because they need to have angst when Maxie wakes up. OMG he has to bring Valentine's day treats and has no idea what to get. Lulu will help him. They get back from the store and Lulu is all uncomfortable with Sexy Nathan standing by. He talks about them dating. They will 'take it slow'. 

Dante called Jordan into the office to talk about Anna. She can't believe she had a break down. Then he crabs about how hard the commish job is and the paperwork and meetings and blah blah. Jordan gets a text from Curtis. She's going to go meet him. Oh she's not gonna be happy.

Dante talks to Chase about not interfering with the case and he needs to take orders. Chase flashes back to Michael's keys and Drew's house. 

Curtis tells Jordan. Oh, she smiles. Hmmm. ok.

END: 

Nathan and Lulu kiss

James, Georgie and Felicia are talking in the hallway and MAXIE IS IN THE DOORWAY telling James HE CAN'T SKATE WITHOUT A HELMET. She's UP and out of BED-- in the DOORWAY... I.. mean.. I'm dying laughing here. 

LAB

 

More snow today.. just keeps coming and coming! Just cold too as you all know. I shouldn't really complain because I HATE the humid heat. So I should just embrace the whole thing!

Carly is at Wyndemere apologizing to Lucas. He doesn't believe her. She tries again. Then he says not good enough. Carly has to try to really get to know him because they want to get their own place in a few months. She then apologizes to Marco. Everyone hugs. Pascal is suspicious. Lucas and Carly leave on the ferry. 

Marco and Sidwell talk about making up with Carly. Marco tells Sidwell that they have to be careful because Carly will be 'snooping around" Wyndemere. Lucas overhears it at the door! He came running in after forgetting something. 

Joss is looking at the Cigs she got from Wyndemere and Trina walks in and asks what she is smoking. Joss says her study partner had them to stay awake at night. Then they talk about Trina having a sibling. Portia calls and says the test results will be "soon".  Later, Jason comes over and she tells him about finding the book and stuff with Cullum. He remembers Britt talking about him. He needs answers. They talk.

Portia wants a paternity test from Britt--now. They do it. Then she has to get a swab from Isaiah to see if he's the daddy. He really wants to be the daddy but he will be there for her if he's not. Meaning he's probably not. 

Jordan and Curtis are getting cozy by the fire. Jordan says Sidwell wants her to find out why the power went out during the blizzard. Portia calls and tells Curtis she got tested. 

Trina goes to the hospital to see her mom and wait with her. Isaiah waits too. 

Danny and Jason talk about Alexis' talk about the Cassadines. Danny tells Jason he kissed Charlotte. They talk about her and the relationship. Did she want you to kiss her? Danny isn't sure "Make sure it was mutual" says Jason. Oh, god how sad to be a teenager now lol. 

Lucy is at Sonny's trying to get him to get 'revenge' on Sidwell because she's mad at him. Sonny is like: I'm not helping you. She tells him she thinks Sidwell is shipping stuff under Deception with no guardrails and might be illegal. He tells her to leave it alone. She says she should get back together with him and THEN pounce! Sonny says that's not a great idea either. 

Charlotte visits Valentin. He figures out she told Danny where he is.  He's not happy. She says he's trustworthy but Nina isn't. Nina was with Brennan making a deal. Valentin is still angry and then Char says she actually told Nina she heard from him. Valentin is like: Damn it! She leaves. 

END: 

Marco and Sidwell talk about Britt being at Wyndemere and her medication and keeping her alive. He's shaken up. Pascal is in the hallway. 

Portia gets the results and opens the envelope. Trina asks who the father is... then the show is over.

NAIL SALON: 

Ava and Lucy can continue their bitch fest about Sidwell. I love these two but this is just 

Molly and Kristina talk about Krissy sending her book to the publishers. 

Q HOUSE

Cody is reading a book ...Tracey's like: You're reading a book? (Pride and the Prejudice) 

Danny invited Alexis over to hear all about the Cassadine family. She goes through the whole family line. I'm sure he wants to know where Charlotte is in there in relation to him. She tells him that Valentin's father is Viktor not Mekkos and Danny figures out how far removed he and Charlotte are as cousins. I guess TPTB have decided this is ok in the gene pool! 

HOSPITAL: 

Liz delivers a sub to Portia. Isaiah ordered it. Portia "we just fit together" 

SONNY'S 

St. Jason and Sonny talk about Anna. Yada yada.

CARLY decides to go to Wyndemere instead of Valentin. 

AT WYNDEMERE: 

Pascal is back. Lucas isn't happy. He thinks Pascal is jelly of him and Marco. Pascal calls him a dumb American lol.. Marcus walks out and scolds him. Then he takes Lucas into the living room and makes out with him. 

THAT'S IT

BUT NOTE!! Steve Burton shared he's 'taking a break' from GH until August. Must be nice! Didn't he just get back? I'm sick of all of this lol 

Wubs is 28 (Feb 10)

 

The LukeSon Lounge circa 2001... Angelfire 

WELP... apparently, I started the WUBS Feb 10 1998. That's just CRAZY pants!! Where did it start? Gedstern's Spoiler Site!! Why did it start? I couldn't stand Brender and Jax's frothy romance so I wrote parody scripts and called what they had "WUB". 

Yep, that's the story. I then did Buzz for Buffy's column back when we had actual on-set people that leaked information to the newly minted internet. Things started to change in 2001 after 9/11 and by 2003ish I had my own WUBS NET Site. (ANGELFIRE--HA HA). One of my biggest accomplishments of the time was learning HTML.  By 2009, Blogging was all the rage so I jumped on that bandwagon and here I am. 

Starting on the old AOL messaging boards and then on to SoapZone cut my teeth for early internet and then low and behold, Twitter came along and changed the game for all of us. Now I'm mostly on BlueSky and Facebook. 

I've met actors, head writers, script writers, PR folks and so many just "regular" fine people through this thing called social media. The good, the bad and the ugly. MOSTLY good. So many great friends. So many people that read each day and take the time to comment. Many more just come in for a read or  laugh. 

I've had help too.. Dustin made my WUBS post cards and helped me with PR in the early days. Kristin helped me run Connie Tower's Fan Club. Gedstern gave me my start and Luke from Daytime Confidential had me on the show back when hardly anyone knew my name! Jonathan  K has also had me on his podasts. I've seen people rise in talent:  (Jamey Giddens) and Buzzworthy Radio are just two. My great helpers on here, David and Sonya just keep me going. 

Some of you I've known since you were wee ones--and looking back that's also amazing because this medium sure breaks the age barriers. I've always said if I win the lottery, I'll host the biggest WUBS Nation party EVER and fly you all to Rochester. We can drink LukeSonRitas and eat Feta. 

We can't forget Alberta...the mascot of the WUBS Net. Why? Well, I love lobsters and she came along at the right time to tour with people and meet the actors of GH. Maybe when I have more free time, I'll take her around again! See Alberta's photos on her Page! 

Unfortunately the WUBS Scripts have been lost to the ages. The Angelfire links no longer work and I wasn't smart enough to save them back in the day. 

Anyone remember the Bubble Lamps? 

Social media can be a joy or a curse. I'm leaning into the JOY as much as possible! Here's to another 28 years. Well, maybe not THAT long!! 

CHEERS! 

Anna Day

 

Mornin' -- or AFTERNOON. Geesh, who knows what's going on lately. It's been a long week AND IT'S MONDAY. OY! I've watched ZERO of the Olympics. Just don't even care...weird.  I remember when the games were on like, all day and you just parked yourself. Now it's a puzzle and stupid to try to see things. lol.. 

TODAY: 

Emma and Gio reunite at the apartment. Emma tells him about her grandmother. She cries. Josslyn comes over. She has no idea what's happened. Emma tells her about seeing Anna and what she said about the kidnapping and Faison. Joss asks questions but Gio makes her leave. Joss goes into the hall and pulls out the book about Anna. In the apartment, Emma tells Gio she has to leave Port Charles. She has to go tell her mom (Robin) in California and then she's sure they'll go to France together. He says he'll be there for as long as it takes. Waiting for her. 

Brennan doesn't believe Ross that Anna "broke" on her assignment. He thinks something is up. Ross tells him to focus on finding Valentin.

Valentin and Carly talk about the night Brennan stopped by "we both got lucky he says" AHAHHA Carly shoots him a mean look. He wants to go break into Wyndemere again.  She says she won't know what to tell Charlotte if something happens to him. He says ok...I'll stay. 

Cullum comes over to Carly's. He tells her she's a distraction for Brennan and he has to concentrate on finding Valentin. She's mouthy to him.  He tells her all about Anna. Then he leaves and Carly makes Val a drink and tells her what she was told. He doesn't believe that would have happened to Anna. 

Lucy goes to Wyndemere to see Sidwell but finds Ava there. They are going to have brunch. Lucy and Ava spar. Like back an forth and blah blah blah. Ava leaves. Lucy tells Sidwell that Ava is a criminal. He says he knows her background. She tells him she can't stand Ava and he has to choose between the two of them. Sidwell says he's not going to choose and he's sorry, no one tells him what to do. Lucy leave and says to herself: you'll be sorry! 

Laura, Mac and Dante meet about Anna. Dante can't believe the state Anna is in. He wonders what went wrong. Dante says she says Fiason is alive. They talk about that a bit. Then Mac says he's in Boston a lot with Maxie and thinks Dante should keep Anna's job. Dante hesitates but will think about it. Leaves. Mac talks about Anna and seeing her like that was terrible. Between that and Maxie, he's not feeling very strong. Laura gives him a pep talk. 

Felicia goes to the Qs to tell Jason what Anna's message is...Faison is alive. Jason says: I SHOT HIM. Felicia says "maybe that's why you have to stop him". Felicia says she's having a break down and losing it. He wonders if Faison COULD be alive. She talks about Halloween and then Anna saying that Peter and DR visited her room and she heard Faison on the speaker. She also saw him once, briefly. Jason asks about Robin. Felicia says that Emma is going to tell him. She asks him to talk to Brennan about the situation. Jason says absolutely NOT. 

Dante and Brennan talk about Anna and if she was really on a WSB mission because Anna says she wasn't. 

END: 
Looks like Dante and Brennan are going to exchange info about Anna

Valentin calls France but doesn't get a lot of info-- thinks Anna's in trouble and the WSB did it to her. 

Emma leaves for California. 

Sunday Surgery: Seat of Pants

 

That's right... you all know I was gone all week. I've barely caught up and by that I mean I saw Monday and Friday's shows. ERGO, I thought it might be fun for me to just wing it this week and see how I land! That's always fun, right? Do I want to go back and watch all the shows today? No, it's minus eighty hundred today and I have to work at the food cupboard collecting SOUP for the SOUPER-BOWL! (get it?) So.. without further ADU... here we go go!

FIZZ FOREVER! 

AFTER THE STORM: Monday abruptly shifted to after the storm without any follow up and I wasn't sure how to take it. Did Joss sail back to shore? Was anyone concerned a power station blew up ...or did they just think the storm did it? 

FRANCE-FRANCE UNDERPANTS: (I just want to say underpants! Ha Ha) Oh, we got a treat with the Finola acting!! We also got the OG Felicia and Mac pair showing up. Squee!! The other wonderful thing about all of this? EMMA. My gosh--what a casting find. Those scenes with her grandmother were just perfection. My wish? I really would love for Kim McCullough to come back for a short stint so we can see these three wonders in action. They could even joke about Emma getting her height from Patrick. Anyway, Anna's in a sanitarium and so far, people are skeptical. I think they took her after she 'saw' Faison, drugged her and dropped her in France. Now that she's told Felicia to tell Jason she was right, will he come to her rescue or be too involved with Britt to help? Hmmm.. 

SPIDER WILLOW:  Oh, Willow has just gotten so JUICY as a villain character, hasn't she? I love how she's sort of delusional about her motives for all of this and still thinks she's  good person for shooting someone. "I had to"!! Now, we all know it's DREW so it's a hall-pass on that one but she's still a calculating psycho in the end. Who didn't love her telling Drew she shot him? Who didn't love her pushing that drug into his IV bag while telling him she was keeping him paralyzed? I just want her to have zex with Chase while he watches on closed circuit TV. 

THE KEY TO MY HEART:  Chase. Chase, Chase Chase. Molly was calling CODY a big dumb dog but I'm looking at you, mister. I do have a bone to pick with how things shook out however, especially about the keys. Willow puts a key on Michael's keychain to implicate him in going into Drew's house. First of all, if you have a bunch of keys on your key chain, who even LOOKS at those? Secondly, how did Chase even realize ANYTHING WAS AMISS with the keys to TRY them. I know, I know--it's a soap. Go with it. Still was bizarre. Also, if Michael DID DO IT, would he sill HAVE THE KEY ON HIS KEYCHAIN? Figure that out detective Chase. All of this is of course to propel him into having a full-blown affair with Willow. You can see it coming a mile away. 

SCREEN SHOT OF THE WEEK: My friend CanadianFuzzy grabbed this masterpiece for me! LOOK at Ezra in the background--taking SELFIES ON THE MAT!! AHAHHAA. I live for this stuff. I mean, come on. Genius. 

DAVE'S QUESTION: What storyline is interesting to you now? I think it's a fair question for all of us! For me... I think the Anna story because of the history. That's the only reason. The moving parts are so stale now, it's not going well but I'm hoping against hope something gives soon. I love Emma. That's a high point. They've wasted Valentin by locking him in the attic with Carly. It started out so promising but man, it's just going No-WHERE. Day after day of the same thing doesn't make a story move. How about you? 

That's all I have for you. I'm sure you can tell me much more that happened but frankly, this is enough. The Rocco/Britt stuff? meh... Jacinda/Michael? Double meh. Also--if they don't find SOMETHING for Kristina to do she needs to exit the show. I said it. Oh ! RIC was on which is always lovely. Diane is still in a wheelchair--making me think CH really really did a number on her leg. NLG had a bad head cold.  

See you later! Cheers!! 

Drewby

Is DREW on their enclosed PORCH at the house? LOL Sure looks like it. 

WILLOW terrorizes Drew and tells him why she shot him and wishes he was dead. I thought Chase was going to hear it after trying all the keys to get in the house, but he did not. She says she "dropped a tray". They go into the living room. Chase says not to trust Michael. 

Kristina and Jacinda talk about Michael giving up some custody. Jacinda thinks if she sees him, it would hurt his case. Jacinda gets asked out by Ezra and he also asks Kristina to go. She's like: Um, that's a CORINTHOS! Then Jacinda goes to talk to him. He says he's sorry for saying anything but he would like to date her. She says her schedule might free up soon. She gets his number and Krissy sees it. 

Brook and Michael talk about his custody arrangement with Willow. It's 60-40 and he's afraid if they went to the the hearing, he'd lose. They have the most BORING TALK EVER. They tell Wiley and Amelia about seeing their mom. Amelia is HUGELY huge. 

Dante gets on Britt's case for talking to Rocco when he goes to the hospital to do his community service. She wants to go to his hockey game. He's like NOPE. Stay away. She says Rocco is old enough to see her if he chooses. He says she's dangerous and was "presumed dead" so stay away. 

Liz talks to Dante about why he hates Britt so much. She says Jason thinks she's ok. Dante still doesn't think so.

END: 

Wiley sees Chase with Michael's keys

Willow tells Drew he didn't have a stroke. She gave him meds and he'll keep getting them so she can make a new life. She injects his line with more.
