Sunday Surgery: Returning To Regularly Scheduled Broadcasting

 

Oh it's been A WEEK PEOPLE!! We are back in business. First of all, it was a good week just in the fact the show was new.  So, I did have a grin on most of the time. 

New Faces, new sets and ... a bunch of stuff I need to talk about. So, belly up to the bar and get ready. 

 

WEEK OF THE NUFACES!! Two temporary replacements showed up on our screens. 

First up: NUSAM (Played by Lindsay Hartley) popped up this week and really just lit up the screen. I was a big fan of Kelly for a long time but as you know, lately, I found her to be miserable in her job. So, I welcomed a change. I thought Lindsay did a great job. She had a wonderful rapport with Laura Wright. 

Second: NUBROOK!  So, I did notice that Amanda Setton looked PG ... I mean REALLY PG. I did wonder why she always wore those blazers. Welp. Guess this was it. Briana Lane will be taking over the part for now. I'm thinking with all the COVID going on, Amanda may be out awhile. Anyway, I LOVE Amanda but I really liked Briana too! She did a nice job. Held her own with Maxie/Kirsten. Yeah! 

POP UP OF THE WEEK: It's DANTE! Looking mighty good!!! Right now he's still in Switzerland away from everyone but that's ok. We know he'll be back.  I do think it should have been kept a secret. We would have died if he just showed up! 

REAL LIFE OF THE WEEK:  Mike, Mike Mike. Yet again they get this right.  Sonny wanting to save him but then seeing Yvonne on a ventilator after her feeding tube went wrong. I'm glad he came to that realization himself (with a little help from Felix and Liz) rather than Carly harping on him. 

LIVING WILL OF THE WEEK:  Oh, foreshadowing much? Jason wants Carly to be his Power of Attorney in case anything happens to him. He's seen Mike slip away and wants to make sure that's not him. So, he asks Carly because he thinks Sam loves him too much. At first, Sam is pissed. Then she realizes it's the right decision. Then? Oh yeah, Jason flies off his bike and Carly has to sign his papers in GH. :eyeroll: Don't we have enough ish going on with Mike?? And BTW, if Jason wakes up and has no memory or is "someone else" I will stab some people. 

NO ONE WANTS THIS OF THE WEEK: No. No. Nope. While she and Lulu's talk about keeping the baby or not was good, NOPE. Just no.  PS Maxie gets bad hair of the week. EESH. 

MISSTEP OF THE WEEK:  Cyrus. Cyrus. Cyrus. I'm not feelin' him. Love the actor. Love that Sonny might have a decent enemy in town but the story is so... weak. Now he wants to be on the board of the hospital. Money laundering? Drug running? And the Jordan link isn't working at all. She's just annoying. I don't care about her at all. Make Brando his son maybe? That might make him interesting. Did he ask Brando to tamper with Jason's bike? We aren't sure the favor he wants. Maybe that was it. I don't like Brando either. So-- whatever

CHARACTER OF THE WEEK: Let's hear it for Liz. Loved her talk with Sonny about Mike. She is being written as a nurse and I love it. 

RUNNER UP: Nelle. Not only did she tell boring Nina off but she also got new passports for she and Wiley to get out of town. After going to the Q house, we also find out there's a GPS in Wiley's Kangaroo. Yes, I'm team Nelle. Willow and Michael give me the creeps. Truly. 

WEEK IN A WUBSHELL: 

Jason fell off his motorcycle, has a head injury and needs surgery

Mike is not eating

Peter's still around. Blah

Robert suspects Holly might be alive

Maxie goes in for a blood test but has had 3 positives at home

Dante is thinking he should stay where he is

Sonny decides not to put the feeding tube in Mike

Valentin offers Sam a deal for Danny and Scout's ELQ proxies

Brook Lynn is the new "voice" of Deception; she'll write a song

Cyrus tells Jordan to get him on the board at GH 

Brando may have tampered with Jason's bike on Cyrus' orders

Nelle is planning on leaving town

Dante's Doc 

So, I would like to say: Happy to Be Back! The show this week just picked right up where it left off. Now I would have like to have had a small time jump and then gone backwards a bit through flashbacks but... I know that would have been a ton to organize. I'm sure everyone was just figuring out who would be on set, when and how. I'm not going to bitch too much. Live tweeting again was a blast and so was doing the blog. My fingers ached and I couldn't type as fast as usual lol !! 

Good to have you here too! It's been too long. How did you feel watching the show again? You could tell they were distancing some of the time but other times it felt like there was nothing going on. Hairstyles for the men were the funniest. LOL They changed the most! Chase was so clean cut I didn't recognize him!! 

Ok, have a great Sunday. I will be here tomorrow. After that I'm getting away for 2 nights in the 1000 Islands. We need it. We were due to go to Luxembourg and England but--well, NOPE.  It's a distanced thing and here in NY everything is very masked. (so don't worry about me!) I'll be back Friday!!
