Sunday Surgery: Gowanda

Gowanda. We all have ours. Well, we did-- back in the day when state run mental institutions were in use... Regan era shut a lot down but some still exist I think. Anyway, OUR mental hospital was Gowanda. You'd get threats you'd get sent there "Stop actin' a fool or you'll go to Gowanda"!.  I think MidState was Marcy. Here locally, it's R Wing. Why would I bring this up? Well, looking at Heather at Ferncliff made me think about the way they had that place set up. Like a jail! LOL And she had some kind of scrubs on. Weird. It looked just like Anthony Z's "visiting room" in the pokey. So, you'd think Steven LARS would know his Mama isn't exactly at a place where she's "rehabilitated"-- wouldn't she be in a halfway house? 

Ah, that's neither here nor there. Heather is cray cray as the day is long and it's a joy to watch. If I didn't know better, I'd say SHE was Franco's Mama.
Heather was a great part of this week's program.

On to the OTHER side of crazy; ConKate and the ever changing face show. What the hell. You'd think you could turn DID off like a spigot. There's idiot DOC Ewwwwwwan who's learned nothing from the Cassandra case about letting loonie patients run all over town. Then again, if he admitted ConKate to the hospital we wouldn't have gotten foot sex in the Metro Court. OR him screaming at Kate to "come out" in the middle of people's dinner.  That was one of my top bizarre scenes ever on a soap (the top still being the rubber hose blood transfusion at the Black and White Ball between Sonny and Rick heh). I am trying to view the whole thing as really bad camp because anything other than that and I'd just turn it off. 
It certainly isn't Niki/Viki or Tess/Bess by any stretch of the imagination. And the fact Sonny is still oblivious? Hello, half the town doesn't notice she's walking around like a truck driver? Can't wait to see this issue of "Crimson" with Maxie in the pokey and Connie on the loose-- it will probably be the "Chain-Gang Girls Bare All" issue. 

McBain and Anna...McBain and Alexis...McBain and Sam-- surely he sees that Elizabeth is the only one that has that translucent glow about her of the undead. Oh, wait--different show. :giggle: 


The Spin-Max comedy continued this week. They are a hoot, only they are talking about something I don't care about: Lisa Niles' death. Between that and the stupid stripper case the PCPD is boring as all hell.  Dolores' hubby better be worth the wait. Felicia better hurry up too because OMG Maxie's "I'm evil, I'm bad..hate me" sheeze is wearing me out.  If someone confesses with no evidence and they are distraught don't you get them a psyche eval? Then again, if the evaluator is Ewan, forget it. 


I'm not getting into the DNA of twins...they have similar DNA and genetic markers. John was correct. Sam shouldn't be so upset.  Dr. Kelly said that the baby had "the same genetic markers as Jason".  I totally remember thinking at the time--that's not a confirmation and they didn't test Franco. We all know the baby will be Jason's and the big thing now will be Sam's keeping stuff from him and confiding in McBain. *sigh*Liar Liar leather pants on fire.

SCENE OF THE WEEK: Heather saying to Sam: "I didn't GIVE the baby away"... because DUH Sam..she got money for it!!

NOT THE SCENE OF THE WEEK: Olivia basically telling Sonny to "shut Johnny up".  Olivia wouldn't do that-- and besides I still have hope for JoLivia.  


This week was pretty uneven for me.  I did like the Heather stuff but other than that? Eh... Alexis had great dialog with Maxie. It's the premise of a lot of these stories I just don't care about. That's not a good thing. I still see GH improving pace wise and with cast integration so ramp up them stories boys! New breakdown writers were hired so there's that. Here's hoping.


Finola's on contract -- Great move--she's just golden. 

HAVE a great Sunday. I'll be in Toronto on Monday--
