Sunday Surgery: Let Me 'Splain....

BUT...BUT... do I PEE on these or what? 

Oh, this week's blog is going to be a treat. Well, either a treat or a quagmire, I'm not sure how you are all going to take all this! I did find GH Wed-Fri to be some of the best I've seen in awhile. Just good old soapy-goodness.

I know we don't always agree on how the show is going, so it will be interesting to hear everyone's take.  Maybe I had a blow to the head that caused me to really enjoy myself! 

What should we eat to celebrate my good mood? Lobster Fritattas and Red Vines!!! YEP! Alberta Approved! 



I'm going to give an example of why I really liked the show.  The flow was great.  Listen up!

Nate talks to Dilly at the Haunted Star, reads him the riot act and....

Then runs into Val at Kelly's where she drops the donut (and the switched bag). He picks it up and then.....

Shows the pregnancy test  to Dante who confronts Valerie. 

Did this take DAYS? No. Did we get a giant interruption in there? No. Dillon also sees the test and tries to tell Lulu but fails because of her big interrupts mouth. Valerie is mad Dante would think she was pregnant and throws the test in a garbage can where Maxie happens to see it. Yes, the whole caper is totally "Three's Company" mistaken-switcheroo but it was done in 2 days. 

And hello....there were more than 2 people in scenes for the most part all week. WHAT!!!?!! At one point in the Floating Rib there were a whole slew of people PLUS extras..and a bartender! 



Sonny had a good talk with the family. Yes, I wish Kristina was there but what the hell are you gonna do? Sonny got mad when the wheelchair came and he had to go get his MRI. BUT! He went and who did he run into in the hall? Why, it's Ava who rushed into GH with Avery because of a rash. (She and Liz had quite the talk about excema at one point, btw). Sonny snarles and threatens  Ava but she wasn't going to take it.  Then, on the same day, Sonny goes back to the room, tells the fam about his seeing Ava and agrees to marry Carly to get Avery back. Geesh... cohesion! Honest to goodness follow-up on one damn day. :THUD: 

Tracy got out of the living room and went to see Paul and give him a timer for his office and tells him to talk to Michael. Which he does..pretty quickly!

Tracy then goes to Sabrina's (SHOCK HORROR) and Michael comes in after talking to Paul to confront Tracy.  That happened in a chronological order. Yep. Smooth as silk. I didn't have to wait 3-4 days to see the follow-up. Thank you. 

Sabrina went to the Floating Jake's after seeing Felix at the hospital. She gets sick at the site of the ribs and he suggests she may be pregnant. She gets a test but switches it out with Valerie's bag at Kelly's. (see above). Sabrina is indeed, pregnant. Just when Michael is dressing all Black like the Don he wants to be.  Oh dear!! Remind you of Liz/Jason when Jake was coming?! 

Anna is back and had adorable scenes with Emma this week-- "you're my hero". Of course she feels guilty because she killed Carlos and now Paul the DA even knows. Later, they make Robin a necklace for her birthday and Sam walks in. Emma is all upset because she thinks Sam might feel badly. Awwww. Emma also starts talking about dead people interrupting weddings and "could that happen again"? "OH never EVER" say Anna and Sam. 
GULP. Poor Emma. She just just going to be a MESS with all this, no? I am wondering when Sam finds out it's Jason if she'll stay with Patrick out of guilt? I don't know. I also think Jake/Sam should have more of a spark of recognition here, they really don't. I mean they do have hijinks together like....

Going to Wyndemere when they think Hayden and Nik are at Kelly's and sneaking in. But there's no-- "oh my deja vu" that should have been going on with Sam since day one if this is going to work well, imo.  I know they are trying to tidy it up now but the dragging out of this story has taken it's toll. 

On the Laura front, she's ready to take over as maven du'Port Charles in a big way. First she goes to tell Sam about Jason and well...since they were engaged, switched her story to 'need a neurologist' in the area. 

Laura laid into Ol' Nikolas pretty well though. She had her best dialog in years. (and it wasn't involving LUKE AT ALL!!)  When Nik mentioned that SHE 'left him behind to go be with Luke"...she should have pointed out that his Uncle basically enslaved her and she was escaping. But whatever. Nikolas is up to his eyeballs in everything it seems. Hayden over heard he and his Mama talking about having her shot and who Jake really is. She's got a plot coming, and I think it involves ropes and Victoria's Secret bras. 

Pride goeth before a........ Fall.

One plot that's still boring me is the MOVIE that Dillon is shooting. It's sloppy and all over the place. Just weird. They can't really show it like a "real movie" would be shot (even a low-budget one) so why bother? Make it a Vine and move on. Anyway, Dillon's assistant leaves the camera on when he and Val discuss her tryst with Dante. Later, the assistant sees it, thinks it's great stuff and asks Dillon about it. Dillon is all busy and says "You're the editor, do what you want". Ergo, you KNOW it's getting into that thing. heh. 

Maxie tells Lulu Dillon loves her..yada yada. I just dont' get any vibes off of Dillon but blah so it doesn't phase me.  I did like it when he ran to Daddy after Nate back-threatened him. That I could buy. 

Olivia is back. She sees Mopey Dante in the hospital. She says she wants to leave the Brooklyn life behind because it's too hard to do both. Dante tells her he and Lulu want another baby. Yes, they are trying for another. I can't figure out the whole "where's the embryo/egg' thing so I'm not even getting into that right now. 
Olivia leaves guess who she runs into ? Welp, none other than ol Jules himself! In the hallway no less--carrying the baby! She makes up a story about adopting a kid from her church (like you can just do that) and he seems to buy it? We'll see what Alexis thinks. 

Oh, Alexis asks Julian to move in with her-- into Sam's penthouse place (I guess Sam is at Patrick's so who cares) and he says yes. He also gives her a scrapbook of the Davis' girls that he and Molly made. He and Molly are trying to "mend fences". Which will be good if he's living there, no? 

Julian and Ava do a bit of bonding too...taking Baby Adorable Pants to The Floating Rib for..? Well, not sure if she was entertained or not? Kiki told her Mama to get lost in pretty short order. That's not a dress I'd eat ribs in, btw. #mess 

More on THE  "Kiki Saga"... Seems Kiki has been hold up in the "apartment of death" as Nina calls it; drinking and chilling out. They find her at the bar, downing shot after shot of vodka. I mean like A LOTTA Vodka.  Some guy hits on her and Todd rushes in to save the day (yes, he was "Todd" in that moment). I was so sad it wasn't Kris A playing her because it would have been a classic Starr/Daddy moment. Sniff. Long story short, not only can Kiki drink any 400 pound sailor under the table, she's going to have a happy little family with Nina and Franco. Where her Dad was stabbed.
Hey, why not? 


SCENE OF THE WEEK: I'm so mad I do NOT have a picture for you but there were no Wed photos I could find. Anyway, it's the scene where Carly is talking to Morgan and Michael about the 5 family meeting. First off, they are all talking over each other, just like we do in real life. (no one pauses as much as people do on soaps!). Carly was yelling at Michael for going and Morgan was all "I didn't go mom.." and Carly looks at him and says "Yeah but you WOULD have" . LOL I thought it was brilliant and SO real.  I just really enjoyed the whole exchange. 

PROP OF THE WEEK: Could have been the PG test...or the Red Vines, but the photo album wins. 

FACE OF THE WEEK; Oh my gosh..LOOK at that Daddy face!! I love Roger. 

RUNNER UP: I put this in context...Nik sees Hayden's "boobies" and gets all cute: 

You know, I saw nothing LOL... but...there they were!  I need to talk about the other things I'd like to see. Yes, the mobular stuff is a bit much. I hope things shift back to some ELQ. Over all though, I'm happy with what I saw at the end of the week. I wasn't bored. I wasn't going :HUH:? 80% of the time and on Friday, I actually wanted to get home to see the show live! Can't beat that! 

One more thing, @SourceJenn of TVSource Magazine (great site for ALL your TV needs) pointed out that Nina actually walks around Silas' murder spot in the apartment. lol 

SO, that's it kids. I'm hoping more holes get filled, some characters come to the forefront and others fade. 
HAVE a great Columbus Day-- it's fall 'perfect' around here!!
