Sunday Surgery: Letting Go

 

Another great week for the show! I was surprised and SO entertained. Plus it featured my favorite part of Wyndemere!! I guess the appropriate term is "Turret" that they are standing on but come on, we know it as Helena's Parapet. It's caused more non-death-deaths on GH than anything else besides guns. 

Going to the GH vending machine for a Mr. Goodbar. Did you see the size of that thing that Liz bought Cam? Whoa. 

So much to unpack. So much to talk about. I think the main point is WATCH MONDAY AND TUESDAY'S SHOWS... that's your first mission. Then, get in the rest of the week. It's worth it. Friday was more of a catch up but a ton of secrets are exposed so dive right in.  

                      

LULU LET GO OF THE WEEK: Everyone came in to see Lulu. Even Charlotte showed up on the set. She's grown!! It was of course heartbreaking and Dom brought all the feels. Genie killed it at the elevator when Lulu made her final exit. I think the entire GH timeline was losing it. Now, question is: Will Lulu return as Julie Marie Berman or....??? Hmmm, I'm putting odds on that as yes but it might be awhile. 

JULIAN LET GO OF THE WEEK:  Oh boy oh BOY! Ava and Julian. Two of the best siblings on daytime. Do I actually buy that Ava would really kill him? No.. Did I appreciate the scenes out on the parapet before he jumped? Hell yes.  Jason and Sonny run out and Julian jumps. The rain in that scene was OVERWHELMING LOL!! I think the actors were having a hard time saying their lines. Maura was soaked!! We did see Julian later on the shore then show up at Martin Gray's office which surprised the heck out of me. Julian got money and a car. He's getting out of town! 

DEV LET GO OF THE WEEK: Ah, when your life can be put into a cardboard box one day after you're blown up you know you've had a weak character. Poor Dev. Started out promising but never caught on. He was just getting interesting with his devious ways however and now, we will never know.  

TUMOR LET GO OF THE WEEK?? So.. what's happening with all this?? Franco's tumor was 'shaved' during his surgery after the bombing. Now it can be treated with some radiation. BUT!! He's also hearing voices. The voice was Peter. Which leads me to believe he will have some buried Drew memories in there? Oh lordy. WHAT.?? 

WALLS LET GO OF THE WEEK: Oh my..you know I love these two. What a great week to be a NAva Fan!! WOW..not only did they declare their love for each other but Ava told him the entire truth about Julian planting the bomb. What could be BETTER? Not a lot. Unfortunately for us they have to COVID-kiss but we will get the real thing some day! Squee!! Ava is HEAD-MISSTRESS OF WYNDEMERE! 

BEST USE OF HISTORY IN FOREVER:  Oh, the Gray family! Hmmm, Gordon Gray was Laura's biological father. Doctor and mentor to Leslie. She got pregnant and he told her her baby died at birth. (Which in the 60s was pretty easy to do as the women were often out during delivery). Curtis and Jordan found out that Florence was the person that Cyrus was paying to keep in the house in Portland. Florence was married to Gordon Gray. Could they be Cyrus' parents? Making him her 1/2 brother? And since Martin Gray has the same last name and a mysterious photo popped up, could they be siblings as well? Oh!! SO interesting and such a great use of Laura's past. Love seeing Genie get more material! And if Tad Martin Gray is really her 1/2 brother--whoo hoo!  Photo stolen from Soaps in Depth. 

SCENE OF THE WEEK/YEAR: When everyone turned that corner and came in to hug Laura, I just LOST it!! WOW..and Tracy!! gah! Icing on the cake. I really thought she just was going to have scenes in the airport! The whole family and the pizza and... :sobbing: Sorry, can't see. Having Monica, Robert, Alexis, Nikolas and extended fam rally around Laura was just perfection. 

RUNNER UP: Genie was fabulous in this scene as well. You could feel her shaking through the TV!!! I think true anger for any woman to show is tough; especially the rage-anger done here. It either comes off as shrill or too weepy. This is just right. 

FACE OF THE WEEK: The only person to react to Dev's dying in any major was was Cam. And he was fierce. Add on to that the whole Franco Tumor story and he's just doing a great job. 

PROP OF THE WEEK: Here it is! GIANT MR. Goodbar!! Holy heck! 

GLARING HOLE OF THE WEEK: Um.. so, who's place blew up and who wasn't around at ALL? Well, that would be MAC--acting police commish. You'd think he would have been all over the place.  Felicia too. So strange. 

WUBSHELL WEEK: (There's a LOT of it so hang in there)

Lulu was transferred to a long-term care facility in Manhattan

The whole Q family and Tracy rallied around Laura

Cyrus seemed over concerned about Lulu's injury

Laura smacked Cyrus--hard.

Julian was held at gun-point by Ava but ended up jumping when SaSon came running

Julian survived and went to Martin Gray's office. Found a photo he used to blackmail Gray with

Florence Gray was the patient that Cyrus kept in the house in Portland

Florence Gray was married to Laura's bio-Dad Gordon Gray

Notice all the GRAYs???? 

Nik and Ava declare their love for each other

Trina is told by Cyrus her dad is alive

Dev's stuff is boxed up

Franco's tumor was shaved in OR and he might be able to get radiation

Britt confronted Lucas about leaving Brad

Sasha had coke and speed in her when she had the heart attack

Willow and Michael don't know what to do about their 'sitch

Chase tells Sasha Willow knows about them faking the whole affair/sex thing 

Sam is becoming disillusioned with mobular life; afraid for her kids

Cyrus tells Sonny Julian is the one that planted the bomb

Carly tells Jason and Sonny Nelle is really Nina's daughter

Valentin fires Martin Gray and won't fight for custody of Charlotte while Lulu's in a coma. 

SPOILERS:  A speculation from me: Cyrus is Laura's 1/2 brother and so is Tad Martin Gray. Could totally work. Hopefully that means we'll see Leslie for a bit too? Please? 

Look for: More Brando Sasha scenes, Finn's Dad to make an appearance and Dante and Anna have coffee together. Look for ALL the SCOOPS at Diagnosis Daytime. 

So, a little jibber-jabber from behind the scenes puts someone who's not happy with their material right in the middle of a squabble. That's all I can say and it's not even 'out there' but perhaps watch for a character shift happening soon. There's also been a major ABC/Disney shake up in the more business office side of things but it may have a ripple effect on GH. 

Soon it will be Wub Award time for 2020. What a strange year!!  Have a great Sunday... Cheers!
