Sunday Surgery: Frozen Ground

-Here we go! Another week closer to the FLUKE REVEAL! (If you care). I do have to say that GH has a hell of a powerhouse cast. It's huge--but the actors are just awesome. I do enjoy watching them work every day, even if the stories lag and drag for a bit. 

Where's MY BUDDY!? 

It's been a long 5 days, imo. Long long long. The Haunted Star is back out of storage, Naxie spent hours in bed again, Jake had a head bump, Carly found a gun, a grave got dug and of course, the days of wine and phones at the state pen and mental hospital appeared. 

I'm having Greek Yogurt in honor of the Cassadines. Ouzo anyone? 

This is the triangle waiting to happen--- if you don't count the OTHER triangle waiting to happen--(Maxie Dante Johnny). Lulu asserted her independence and was "the woman" all week. I do love having Johnny back, even if it means the bloated cast goes up by one. With Spinelli coming as well and both 'short term' I can deal. The Haunted Star is also the big focus. Who knew Lulu still worked there or even cared about it? Hmmmm. Not me. She even hires Morgan to bartend.
Which, you know..he and Kiki did in college. But as I recall, Morgan was at college and Kiki was "online"..which was really Ava, taking his gambling money. Plus, is he 21?   Ok, I'm OVER THINKING this. but it bothers me. 

These two blabbed on the docks...instead of say, a nice cozy place Hells could have arranged. We found out Fluke hates the name Jake and he has more accents in his speech patterns. At one point, I swear he was doing Billy Bob Thorton.  Hells gives her "soldier boy" a mission and he...
FAILS! WOW! REALLY?????? He fails????? Geesh, there's a shocker. 

Yep, Jake Mask face goes in to kill Sam (who's getting it on with Paddy) but wait!! Like every other PC hitman, he can't quite finish the job.  Illusionary Robin comes in to have a chat with him. Did you like Kim's bangs?  Jamey from DC compared her to Dora..heh.  Anyway, Jake continues to go upstairs and goes into the room while Sam and Patrick are in the shower. The banter that KM and JT did while they were in there was cute.  Jake looks around, sees "himself" with Sam in the bed and takes the Phoenix. 

PHONENIX DOWN!! 

AH, the PHOENIX!!!!!!! You know I was just tingling with excitement over the whole adventure. I laughed, I cried....I created a diary for the thing.  That's how this week went.

For you Sam Trickers. They were cute together, but I must say that the writers are acting like she never was in love with Silas. (and she was according to what I saw)...and just decided to do it for the first time since Jaysus died.  When she talked to Alexis at Kelly's it was very weird. Very much the "so glad you decided to let go and take the plunge" type talk.  That's what bothered me the most. 

Sonny on the other hand, spent his days chatting on the ever-charged mobile phone in Pentonville. Between the stupid fight with the stupid Goonies and that, you know I became unhinged. I just can't with this. They aren't even TRYING. I mean, not even a little. Then Sonny declares "We gonna bust outta here" and I die.  Sonny was calling Fluke..and Michael trying to warn him. Michael was like "screw you". Sonny found out Fluke was working with Helena and he thinks he's Bill Eckert. Wants Shawn to dig up a grave.  Hey, at least Franco came on Friday to add to the fun.  RH always sparkles. 

Getting to the grave digging action, Shawn gets on his cemetery uniform (jump suit) and gets to work. Being the middle of January in WNY, he takes care to bundle himself well in..a pair of work boots. Jordan is sneaking around and catches him. They chat a bit..he says "you're a cop"..she goes "no I'm not" and that's that. Shawn takes 2.3 minutes to dig in the loose, non frozen soil and reaches the coffin. Of course, it ends when they open the lid.  Let's just not even get into the possibility of actually DOING that but rather discuss what could be in the coffin.
1. Bones. I am thinking at after 20 years and obviously no lead-lining or crypt type sleeve for the coffin, ol' Bills going to be pretty unrecognizable. Will Shawn take a bone for DNA or just assume it's Eckert?
2. No Bones. Could mean two things; Eckert is alive---or he never got buried in the first place and he's 'resting' elsewhere. Of course, the last possibility is that someone robbed the grave a few years ago in anticipation that this may happen and he is really dead. 
ALL of the above leading me to...
YAWN LOL.  It's obvious the story has shifted since it began. It's also obvious that Geary is throwing every one off with his ever-changing weird accents. Is he a Cassadine? Why is he so chummy with Hells? Is he really having a DID thing and he's not even really two people? What about all the history of the Spencers and Pat talk? What about that reaction to the Jake name? What ..why who? And why is Tracy still being an idiot? Dom Z was interviewed by either SOD or SID and said the reveal will be a 'shocker". Ergo, the Bill thing may be off.  Because that certainly wouldn't be a shocker. 


On the other end of the Jail, Ava sat and stewed while Nina's mother goaded her. Some jail guard threatened her with a knife. At Miscavage, Nina and Heather play Battleship and forge a friendship. Heather offers to be her "mother" but tells her that her name is Diana Taylor. She doesn't want her to know she's Franco's mama.  Franco calls Nina. They talk. 

Got any Cheetos in here ??

Other stuff that happened: Michael caught Shawn trying to pry open the basement door. Called the cops and got a restraining order. Olivia talked to Lulu. Liz was around..she and Carly blabbed for a bit. Lucas took a job at the Clinic. He also found the Phoenix on the docks and put it in his pocket. Jake went to GH after passing out and Carly found his gun and mask. Fluke's planning a Haunted Star party (big sweeps event no doubt). Morgan and Kiki were taking care of Coco, Donna Mills was on. 

You had SPINELLI'S BABY?????/

SCENE OF THE WEEK:  A little nod to the real life couple of KS and BB. It was cute and full of fun. From the Harper reference to the flirting, I loved it.

PROP OF THE WEEK: Ok, you all thought I'd give it up for the Phoenix. Thing is, I already talked about it a ton and even gave it a blog post all it's own. So, in light of the fact it's head is getting big, I am going to choose this 2004ish syle cell phone. Not only was it used to the MAX ALL week, it stayed charged and apparently, has a pretty good signal for the middle of a jail. 

FACE OF THE WEEK: Jake gets a jolt in the head when he sees himself in Jaysus' photo.  His eyes got huge and he plopped on the sofa. Thought he might throw up too. 



You all know what I'm going to say. Half the cast was off for about a month, now brought back, along with Heather. Ric is still nto around, Ned's MIA--and poor Monica hasn't interacted with Jake. Molly and TJ? Whatever.  This is going to be over soon, the newest previews has all hello breaking loose.  I'm still wondering how the  everyone is going to get out of jail.  It had better be plausable !! (ok, I laughed when I said that)

Hope you are warm..and not snowed in. We are just freezing here with about 5-6 on the ground. Nothing big for the area. Of course...we aren't out digging in the dirt with a shovel.
