Sunday Surgery: Killer Call

 

Kudos to GH for continuing to bring it despite the current climate of shooting restrictions. Darn good week again with a lot happening and movement all over the place. Everyone needs a big ol' standing ovation. The production issues are a nightmare but it seems like a seamless show from start to finish. You may have individual problems with stories but you have to admit, it's a great effort. 

Said goodbye to Mike this week, met a new character and had a nice visit from our favorite psychopath! Pull up a chair and your Chai and let's go! 

THE 5th OF THE WEEK:  Don't be suspicious....don't be suspicious.. and...here she goes. Not only did Alexis drink at home, she was too drunk to get to Mike's funeral. She did make it to the Metro reception however and.. pulled this giant gem out of her purse!! LOL OY!! Olivia saw it--and realizes she's not doing well. 

PRISON VISIT OF THE WEEK:   Oh it was glorious!! Ryan was in his element--blackmailing someone into emotional submission. Maura West could give an acting class on these scenes. She was upset, scared..nervous and yet brave all at once. I liked Nikolas coming in to try to help her out as well. Of course JL is at his best as Ryan. Now we find out Ava's going to visit him once a week. SQUEE!! 

LOVAH OF THE WEEK:  Oh, Dr. Kirk fell for our beauty Dr. O and hard!! He's helping her with this whole plot against Peter! :clapping: She's even sending him to Port Charles to keep an eye on Dante and make sure he goes through with the plan. One problem tho: She wants Anna Killed too!! 

NEWBIE-OLDBE OF THE WEEK: Jackie Templeton. Lover of both Robert and Luke. Think Holly but with a husky voice. Kim did great in the role I thought and GUESS WHAT! She's Chases' Mama and Finn's Step-mama! She calls them Hamilton and Harry....awww.  Oh the Drama-Mama!! What do you think? Does she and Finn have a past too? Wouldn't that be a kicker? Can't wait for her to run into Tad Martin Gray. Epic. 

THE BIG WHOOPS OF THE WEEK:  Oh, lordy lordy--NEDLY what have you done?? You thought Olivia was with Robert so you sleep with a drunken Alexis. Did you cop to it with Olivia? No sir!! So grateful these two have airtime with some real weight! Lisa LoCicero is such a fabulous actress and so is Wally. He had the right angst face going. Guilt is going to eat him up. 

CHEM-TEST OF THE WEEK: Oh I delighted in this! Britt and Jason. She's got the right amount of grit not to take any of his crap!! She gave him a giant shot in the butt too. LOL. Jason tells Epiphany he thinks Britt can be the key to getting to Cyrus. Oh, if it means more scenes together, yes please. Jason hasn't had any action other than Sam in ages and ages. 

RANDO APPEARANCE OF THE WEEK:  It's...Amy?? Why you ask? We haven't seen her since the Nurses Ball.  Oh, she and Brook are old friends from High School. Although you know Brook Lynn secretly talked behind Amy's back big time!! Anyway, seems Brook needs a voice. Amy has a great one. So, "Deception" is born!

GOODBYE OF THE WEEK: I thought Mike's funeral was done well. When it first started, I thought they'd skip over parts so that not everyone was in the same room. But nope !! They were all in there. I liked the tributes and even Joss' song (I'm not a huge lover of spontaneous singing but she nailed it).  Maurice did a spectacular job as usual with this material. Just the right amount of flashbacks too. 

COMEBACK/SCENE OF THE WEEK: I loved this!!!!! The looks they gave each other and the little banter about the beard. It was perfection. Having Dante come in just as Sonny sees his Dad go..pure SOAPY MAGIC. I got all the feels. Now poor Dante gets to go home to Lulu, who's just professed her love to Dustin and was making out with him on the couch. Oh, OUCH. 

CHEST OF THE WEEK: WALLY still got it folks!!

HAVE A GREAT WEEK.. I am off Monday due to a little trip to the Adirondacks to visit my son who's opening a new store up that way. Masks, sanitizer at the ready!! We'll be in the car for so many hours it won't matter lol.  Thanks for reading and keeping the blog alive. It gets less views when I'm happy with the show, btw. Isn't that something?
