Sunday Surgery: Smokin' in the Bathroom

WHAT THE??  I only came in here to sneak a vape!! 

So, I enjoyed most shows this week, and really felt a lightness I haven't from GH in awhile. I loved the whole ensamble hen/bach night out with all the characters mixing it up. I mean look at Ava and Hayden! Great little scene, all because they were in the same place needed to pee!
THEN...
Friday happened and I got furious with this show again. Good lord, someone needs to strangle the editing department and tell Frank that 5-15 second scenes suck the life out of drama. 

Let's have some ribs and dish, shall we? 

WUBS' HAPPY FACE OF THE WEEK: Seeing Michael E Knight again in any way, shape or form made me fan-girling all over the place.  He looks wonderful and look how easily a soap vet just slips into a role. That's an actor. LOVED. And put him with Nelle? Ok, you sold me. 
Almost forgot: If Cady McCain had been tapped to play Nina? THINK about it!! OMG.

INTRIGUE OF THE WEEK:  KevLar explore Wyndemere and Helena's portrait. Finally getting it's due after Nikolas getting it on the Reading of the Will.  BTW, Charlotte bugged the heck out of me. The whole "languages" and perfect "I'm doing a book report" stuff-- ugh. LOL

SET OF THE WEEK:  I'm not sure we've seen the inside of a bathroom on GH as much as we did The Rib's!! Well, actually we've hardly EVER seen the inside of a bathroom on GH! 

SHIRT CHOICE OF THE WEEK:  Polos, Polos everywhere! PS..great to see Chet at The Rib and that he's sill concerned about Maxie. What did you think of Karaoke Night? I say let more people sing! 
NOTE: Did you realize they were going to be playing NIGHT GOLF? :giggle: 

ANNOYING CHARACTER OF THE WEEK: I need Maxie to just go on a vacation. Geezus.



RUNNER UP: Perfect Charlotte doing her Perfect Disney Acting. :eyeroll: 

COP-OUT OF THE WEEK:  Baby Donna is ok? After all that...she's going to be FINE? This better be the false start to a heartbreaking, harrowing story about a family coping with disability or, I'm thinking the entire team at GH are cowards. I said it on Twitter and I'll say it here: COWARDLY.  CarSon have enough kids between them that we certainly didn't need one more. Carly's older--which didn't really have much bearing on the whole thing. The baby was given a condition; one with the potential of being pretty severe. I thought: hmmm, finally a challenge Sonny can't FIX! Sonny can't throw money at!! Yes, she'd get medical care and attention but it would still be there--all. the. time. 

So-- she's.. FINE? Small operation ...and FINE? 

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? 

It could have been so much more. SO Much.. but now, we'll have another baby that basically isn't seen at all and taken care of by an invisible nanny.

Gee, thanks, great drama there, huh???  They went the same place they did with Charlotte's bullying. 

Quick Fix--done. 

This is called "Plot Point". And in this case, ESPECIALLY this case...it's just lazy. 

TRIBUTE OF THE WEEK:   CarSon's baby was named after Donna Messina,  the long time head of make up at GH. Everyone loved her and if you listened to Sonny's describing why his daughter got her name, you'd know why. I loved it. I liked the birth scenes too. Then? Well, Donna's FINE so I'm just going to forget about her like they do every other kid on this show.

Bitter: Table for One. 

TOO MUCH TRIBUTE OF THE WEEK: So, it was touching when it first happened. Then? The Donna story was repeated over.
And Over
And Over
Was this story about the NAME or the Spina Bifida because--guess what. It's gone from half-way intriguing to snoozing.

GIFT OF THE WEEK: Karaoke anyone? 



BITCHY OF THE WEEK: Um...Jordan. Geeze. Okay. We get it, you're Big Pants Commish. But--? Really? We had Sam all let go, now she's front and center again. Gee, thanks. WHERE ARE ROBERT AND MAC?



EDITING SIN OF THE WEEK:  GH has become infamous for their short scenes. The drama builds and--- um... next scene up. No rhyme or reason. I tell you what, if I was a writer and my words were being chopped to bits, I'd revolt. Case in point? Joss and Jax. She finally tells him the truth about Dev. 
BUT SHE DOESN'T DO IT ON CAMERA.
NOPE..I watched this twice because I honestly thought I was blogging or tweeting and missed it. 

HITS OF THE WEEK:

**Loved having Michael, Krissy and Josslyn all in to see Carly 

**Mr. Gray

**Joss and Nelle sparring in the park
**Lesil's Maid of Honor Dress 
**Dr Terry tries to talk sense into both Kim and Franco 

MISSES OF THE WEEK:
**WHERE THE FK ARE ROBERT AND MAC??? 

**You have a huge party going on at The Rib... and Karaoke night but no Felicia? Perfect opportunity to get her in there. 

**You let Chase drop his towel but we don't even get a top-shot of them embracing? 

**You let Carly have her baby and Bobbie isn't anywhere to be found? She was just in GH recovering for cripes sake! 
**Not having Ava just haul off and smack the shit out of Michael. 

WEEK IN A WUBSHELL: 

Baby Donna born, operated on and is fine

Baby's Middle Name is Courtney (for all 2 of you Courtney lovers out there)
Laura and Kevin find a clue in Helena's portrait
Lulu hears Sasha's secret 
Golf got rained out
Bridal Spa was ruined by Chillow
Sam was arrested by Jordan for the pre-meditated murder of Shiloh
Dev outs Peter as the money carrier for Shiloh
Dev writes Turkish on his card to Carly
Joss "tells" Jax the Dev truth
Mike's memory is surprisingly great 

INSTA OF THE WEEK:  Eden posted "Productive Friday with my Unc" LOL!! I love her on IG and Twiter. She's great. 


OK, that's it. I was actually enjoying the entire week until Friday when I just lost it. Between the editing and Sam stuff, I had had it. Maxie was annoying as all hell and I feel like this Sasha secret isn't any big deal. I really don't even care. Don't care about Sasha and Don't Care about Val and Nina. 

Well, there ya have it!! 
See you next week. I Think I'm doing another podcast tonight, if so--I'll let you know when it goes live!!
