Dreaming

 

FRIDAY! Doesn't Chase win jerk/dummy of the year? GEESHHHHHH. Might be pretty but ....

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Chase and Willow...He tells her and Britt that she has to sue for libel and the Qs are involved "Willow would never do this" he says. He pushes her to sue. Britt says that's not smart. Just say it's not true, don't go to court again. Then Willow tells Britt she and Chase will figure it out. Britt leaves.  They try to talk about what to do.

Curtis tells Monet she's Jordan's sister. He says she doesn't have a sister. They had different fathers and they weren't close says Monet. Jordan also didn't tell Curtis she was in town. Curtis wonders what her angle is. She says she wants to help him. Also, her sister never thought she was not as good at her at ANYTHING. 

Isaiah and Tristan go in to evaluate Sidwell. Jenz is surprised saiah is treating him when he'd want him dead. They tell him he's going to need rehab and a life time on blood pressure pills. Sid asks if Curtis is dead. Isaiah says nope and he's happy both of them will be back in Pentonville soon. Sidwell laughs, you think so? Britt walks in and he says "I don't think I need an OBGYN" she wants dirt on the Willow/Wheelchair story. He acts like he doesn't know what he's talking about. Says it WAS A DREAM (he just told Isaiah he was having vivid dreams) and it could have been a hallucination. AHAHAHAA. 

Dante and ADA talk about Lulu's article while in the PCPD. She's not sure it's true. He says Lulu wouldn't write something that wasn't vetted first. 

Emma asks Anna to co-sign a lease for her and Gio. Anna's so happy. She'll sign it. Cute interaction. Talks about Gio and Sonny. 

Anna goes to the PCPD. Dante flashes back to her saying she's still not great in the head. ADA wants help in her ex-WSB agent capacity. They ask her about the drug used. Anna says the WSB has one and Sidwell could have gotten it. BUT The WSB wouldn't want to involve themselves with him again so the PCPD might have to take care of it. She goes to leave but ADA wants to talk to her further. She tells her she was bamboozled by SONNY! Interesting. 

Gio tells Sonny he's ready for 'the next step' and he and Emma are moving in together. Sonny wonders if it's because of him. Gio says that he's not sure he believes him but it IS his choice. Sonny says Fizz will miss him. Emma comes in with Gio is packing. She and Sonny talk. She obviously thinks he had the beatings done. 

Stella and Portia talk about Portia going back to work. Marshall and Stella are watching Dezi right now. She loves it. Isaiah comes over later. Stella looks uncomfortable around him. She leaves. 

Stella goes into Curtis' room and meets Jordan's 1/2 sister. She's like WHAAAAAAA? Then she hustles Monet out. In the hall she says if Jordan never mentioned a sister, she can't be up to anything good. 

END: 

Stella send Monet on her way, she doesn't trust her

Sidwell yells at Dante that the article is ALL LIES.

ADA asks Anna to look over the Sonny Sidwell Curtis case because she can't be umbiased. 

Storyline Jump

 

Thursday--and I'm hoping GH is a bit more meaty today?? Seems like a lot of filler lately. Trying to stick all the newbies in is getting on my nerves too. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

So, in the past few hours, LULU has written her entire story about Drew being given paralytic drugs by Willow! YEP! IT's all over the place!

Carly talks to Drew in her office, he just finds out about the article. He's so mad because he thought it was just about his recovery. He freaks out---says it's tabloid gossip. Carly says she doesn't think so. He leaves. 

Chase is meeting with Monet in the cafe. She takes a call and Tracey sends him the link to the article. He jumps up and leaves. 

Tracey, Michael and Brook Lyn talk about it in the Q kitchen. Tracey is so happy. M and B don't even know about it and have to read it in the paper. They can't believe it. Tracey can. She almost admires Willow. Then they worry she might do something to THEM! They eat and then Chase charges in and asks Brook if she had anything to do with that hit piece on Willow. She says no and then he asks Tracey and Michael if they did. They are like NO, it's the facts. He refuses to believe it. He says Brook tried to frame her for the accident, Michael tried to frame her for the shooting and Tracey pushed her in the lake. He's going to FIX THIS! Leaves.

Willow is in the gatehouse trying to do damage control and Britt comes in. Britt's like: Drop the act, I'm a doctor. I know you did this. Sidwell must have made you. Willow says: NOPE. Tells Britt about her terrible relationship with Drew, feeling trapped and everything. How Sidwell got the drugs and then made her be congress woman. Says that Drew will tell on her now that Brennan isn't around to keep power over him. Britt isn't so sure. If Drew accepts that truth he'd look like a weak tool that was lied to and who's wife hated him.

On the other front of things, Jordan is visiting Curtis to tell him she's getting her face fixed and will be gone for awhile. Curtis is a sad sack about it all.. but he says she should go. God, he's insufferable. Oh Michael is going with her. She leaves and later Monet comes in. Says she thinks the judge gave the jury bad directions so she could overturn the case.

Ava and Sonny argue over AVERY. :EYEROLL: She says he can't see her because he ordered Pentonville beating. Just back and forth. Anyway, Maura is fabulous. He throws Ava out. Later, Carly comes in with Donna who goes to play with Fizz. He asks Carly if she has a question for him. She says No, I know you didn't have anything to do with the beatings. He's trying too hard to go legit. She doesn't doubt him.

Ava and Drew meet up at the Jen Cafe. He tells her about the article and it's bad news because it puts Jack Brennan in the mix again.  Ava thinks he should confirm the article and bury Willow. 

END: 
Sonny has a talk with Donna about what kids might say at school 

Curtis is going to work with Monet and she tells him she's Jordan's siste

Chase goes to Willow and says he can help her with everything. 

NOTE: Sonny referred to Avery as a TEENAGER today.

Two For One

 

Yesterday's show-- I like the therapist/Anna interaction. Val and Brook were good as well. Plus, Sidwell dishing on Willow? PERFECT because I need that out and over with asap. I wish we could have seen Jason getting that falcon's nest OFF THE DAMN ROOF by himself. AHAHHAA. I MEAN--come on. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Alexis and Molly in the gym. PSA for bone health. (Alexis was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2020) Then Dante and Rocco walk in and Alexis finds out that Rocco was punched by Danny. They don't tell her the details though. Later, Alexis goes off about what a horrible father Drew is and--he's standing right behind her ahahaa. He says he might send Scout to boarding school if they don't lay off and stop poisoning her against him. They keep arguing. 

Dante wants to take Rocco to Bensonhurst for the weekend. Rocco says no. Then they talk about friends and Rocco says Char is gone and he and Danny don't talk. (they totally watch as Drew and Alexis fight lol)

Dante goes to talk to Danny. He thinks he and Rocco need to patch things up. Danny's like: nope.

Gio and Emma want to move in together. Looking at apartments. Tracey walks in, asks what's up. He says he is leaving Sonny's.  She's sorry about the circumstances but is happy for them.

Scout goes to visit Danny in the gatehouse while he's watching Wylie and Amelia. He tells her it's not a good idea. She says come on, let me in. She knows why Danny really smashed Rocco in the face. She sort of apologizes. Danny says there is a lot between him and Rocco and he's not over it yet. The two of them vow to stick together like Sam would have wanted. She leaves. 

Rocco goes to visit Scout in front of that barn cafe. They talk about Danny and he's glad she got things straight with him.

Carly has Anna to the office and wants to talk about Joss and the WSB. Wants her to mentor Joss. Anna says absolutely not. Didn't Jason tell her about what she did? Carly's like: NO! Anna says she tried to kill Britt. Carly's sorry she asked, didn't know Anna was going thru all that. Anna says she's seeing someone about her captivity. The therapist recommended she get someone in the sessions that knew her and Faison from the past. The only 2 people are Robert and Valentin. Carly's like ASK VALENTIN! Anna says no, it's too painful for him. Then she says Val was kinda obsessed with her and it's not a good thing. Not to minimize what he and Carly have but probably better not to go that route. Carly keeps pushing. Anna asks why she cares so much. Carly says when she looks at Anna, she sees her daughter's future. Keeps pressuring her to have Val in the sessions. Anna says won't it bother you if he's in there and he used to love me? Carly compares them with Jason and her relationship.

Lucas and Liz talk about Sidwell being in the hospital. Lucas hopes he leaves soon. Liz tells him Lulu was trying to get in to see him. They both think that Sonny setting up the beatings is the most likely explanation. 

Lulu interviews Valentin and wants to do a story on his paralysis and miraculous recovery. Drew's like: WHY? She says the public would like to know his story and what it was like to be trapped in his own body. They are going to meet up later to talk about it. In the meantime, Lulu wants to talk to his doctors. Gives Drew a medical waiver to sign. 

Lulu goes to GH with the waiver. Liz says she has to check with Drew before they can release the records. She doesn't believe her. She comes back and is like: HOW did you get him to sign this. Lulu pitches the story she wants to write to Liz. Liz says that Lucas and she were on duty the night he came in and it was good Willow was there for a quick diagnosis. Lulu wonders how involved Willow was in his care. Liz says A LOT. Then Lucas talks about it and THEN they both tell her JACK BRENNAN had the same thing! DUN DUN DUN. 

END: 

Lucas and Liz spill about Brennan to Lulu

Rocco tells Scout Drew can never find out about them or they'll never see each other again

You Look Familiar - 2026 Edition

Back in 2019, I did a filler blog titled "You Look Familiar". It featured Verne Watson and John Ingle. I knew that both of them have been in multiple series and I did a character count. Verne played a nurse 14 times in her career. And John? He played a priest 11 times. Typecasting? No. Just really good actors who played a certain part very, very well.

With a gazillion new characters on the show this year, I wanted to look around the internet and see if any of them "look familiar" to us. I'm sure that GH cannot be their first show. So, take a look at some of our newest cast members and ask yourself, "Do they look familiar?"

PERIGRINE FALCONS

 

Sad news. Robert Kelker-Kelly who played Stavros on GH has passed away at the age of 62. I really enjoyed his portrayal of that Cassadine brother. He also played Bo Brady on Days. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Jason opens the door to Serena. HE doesn't know who she is. She asks if he's Jason. He says yes. She stomps on his foot: That's from Scotty Baldwin. She says Scotty had to leave in the middle of the night because Jason threatened his life. Jason wonders why she's there. She says she's meeting with Tracey and Brook about Deception.

Tracey tries to get information from Yuri about Chase/Brook's argument. All he will say is they left angry. Then they go into something about the falcons nesting at the house. She wants them moved because of the noise. He says no, they are protected. Then Jason gets into the convo. Probably going to find Jack.

Serena and Tracey sit to talk about Deception. Brook and Lucy are late. She tells Tracey about a pop up at the holiday market. Tracey says just say: Temporary store. Then Serena mentions the falcons. Tracey says she hates them, wants them gone. Serena is aghast. They decide to not have the meeting since Lucy/Brook aren't there. Serena pretends to leave but sneaks upstairs to find the falcon nest. 

Hudson is in the gym, boxing the bag. Brook walks in. Told you they were chem testing them. Blah, blah.. Brook gets into it about Chase. 

Chase is meeting with Monet at The Metro Patio. He tells her Brook wanted them to move into their own place but he didn't trust her. He thinks it's over. Wants to legally separate. She's going  get the papers ready. 

Britt and Willow are having nosh there too. Willow has another daydream about Chase. Britt notices and is all: TELL ME.. I know you still love him. Willow says no, we are just friends. They talk about Jason. Britt DID love him but they weren't compatible. They get their french fries. Then when Monet leaves Chase, Britt leaves so Willow can be alone with him. She asks him about Leo. Then they talk about the falcon nest ---Amelia and Wiley like to watch them.

ADA and Sonny go round and round about whether or not she believes him about the attack on Sidwell/Curtis. She says he lied to her and she bought them HOOK LINE AND SINKER. Sonny's upset. She's upset. Stomps out after telling him he's a liar

Gio and Trina are talking about Sonny. He tells her about the Dante/Sonny fight. Says he Dante made a lot of sense and he doesn't believe Sonny. He says he'll have to tell him he's moving out. 

Joss goes to Baines to try to talk him into letting her bring Sonny down. Says she KNOWS he's actually in the mob. He asks about her present assignment. Then he says forget it-- you keep working on the JJE thing. No revenge, just catch criminals for the WSB. She agrees. She's supposed to audit JJE's far east holdings.

Joss walks into The Metro and sees Willow and Chase talking, reinforcing what Michael told her about them. 

END: 

Chase says Willow doesn't have to keep her distance from him anymore

Serena falls from the roof trying to help the falcons and is hanging upside down when Jason finds her

Trina and Gio have a gig 1-13/26 and the stalker person hangs it up on their board. 

I WILL BE OUT TOMORROW FOR AN EYE APPOINTMENT. There will be a filler blog here for you. 

Sunday Surgery: Blood Brothers

 

What a difference a week makes. I enjoyed the show and wasn't floundering or wanting to turn it off. Why? Three things:  Scenes were longer, dialog was more intricate and focus was tighter. All I really ask is for things to flow and the scenes to be compelling. It wasn't an A week but it was a solid B in my book. 

Yes, there's still a lot to discuss but for once, I might shine a light on the good things! 

Why not get your fave cider and donut? October is here!  Let's GO GO! 

Big thx to Sloan for 90% the photos this week...David for fillers and Sonya for re-recap dailies! 

One Hell Of A...

 

FRIDAY!! I'm really enjoying this week so far--can they make it DAY 5 for me!!?? We shall see!! 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Dante tells Gio Sonny hasn't really left the mob and he can't stay there tonight. Gio tells them he knows Curtis named Sonny in the attack. Dante says it was Sonny's men and such. Dante says one gave the order, one beat them up. Sonny cops to the fact he sent Vito but just to tell Sully to keep an eye on Sidwell. He pleads with Gio. Dante says he should leave but Gio is a grown man. He goes out the door. Sonny says he never would hurt Curtis. GOOD SCENE by Maurice. 

Felicia, Mac and Emma have lunch at the Metro and talk about Sonny. Mac says there might not be a lot of evidence but he's probably guilty. Mac and Fe were glad Sonny was out of the mob because she's dating Gio. Brings up Morgan, Michael...and even Stone getting shot back in the day. Robin defended Sonny and look! 

Jordan has nosh with ADA she says "Your boyfriend put Curtis in the hospital, what are you going to do about it"... ADA says there's not a lot of evidence. Jordan asks her if she's going to date him when he obviously lied about getting out of the mob. Justine says she has to have more proof. Jordan "WOW he must be one HELL OF A LAY" ahahhhaa!! She tells her if she keeps dating Sonny, she can't be friends with her. Michael comes and takes Jordan into the hall. 

Michael tells Jordan she has to get to the clinic NOW. She's like NO Way will I leave Curtis when he's in GH. Michael says he'll be taken care of. Says she needs to take care of herself right now. 

Lulu tells Tracey if Danny does ANYTHING ELSE she'll press charges. Tracey says Rocco would hate her if she does. They talk about how Lulu should handle Rocco. Tracey says not to control your kid's lives too much. She learned the hard way. Good talk. Lulu tells her Charlotte is in boarding school. Tracey understands how hard it must have been to send her away. 

Rocco tells Scout he deserved to get punched. Tells her about saying Sam would send Danny away if she were still alive. Scout says he's wrong: Sam would never send Danny away. She was awesome and would have worked thru it. Says her dad cares too much what people think. People don't like him but he's her dad. He loves her and she loves him. Then they kiss. 

 Chase wants to know why Brook and him were arguing. She sugar coats it then says they should get their own place to work out their issues. Chase says no they have to work things out with her family around because they are a package. 

Joss and Trina talk about Curtis getting beat up. Trina tells her Sonny was implicated. Joss says she won't let Sonny get away with this. They talk about Sonny and power and how he's gotten out of things over the year. "I don't care how many wings he donates to the hospital, he makes me sick" says Trina. 

Later, Sonny walks into the dark love nest and grabs a bottle and chugs. Texts Justine. 

END: 

Brook basically tells Chase she can't believe he thinks that badly of her and leaves. Flashes back to Michael saying Chase should do himself in.

Joss says she'll stop Sonny no matter WHAT

Lulu catches Rocco and Scout kissing but pretends she didn't.

Dante tells Tracey she's been right about Sonny all along.

Gio tells Emma he's not sure he believes Sonny

Justine shows up and wants Sonny to tell her himself he didn't have anything to do with the attack
