Sunday Surgery: Graveyard Gabs

 

What a strange week on GH. Just "wrap-ups" and an explosion that came out of nowhere. We get the highs and now it's the build up to the next "big thing".  We didn't have a new show on Friday so it's a four-dayer. 

This should be short..but I say that a lot don't I?? 

"DEAD" OF THE WEEK:  The Port Charles Memorial Cemetery was a HUB !! Forget Coffee --let's go talk to dead people!!  Liz, Carly...Nina, Michael. Is there more going on with the dead than the living?  Sure seems like it. We have NOT Dead Sonny in there, Morgan, Nelle... Nathan AND Franco.  Nina talks to Nathan first and Michael wanders in. Does she tell him about Sonny? Nah..she talks to Nelle and justifies the whole ruse by saying Sonny is better off as Mike.  Um.. you keep telling yourself that. Not that I care mind you, I just want Nixon Falls dramaz to move to PC so I can quit bitching about it. 

SOAPY-SOAP POINT OF THE WEEK: Last time it was the whole "Michael puts on Willow's wedding ring". Now? Welp, Chase can't walk!! Who would have thought it. As a friend of mine and I said on twitter, the only MORE Soapy thing would be if he was blind!! Chase vows to walk to Willow for their wedding in the rose garden. Willow looks ill. Michael looks trapped in a glass jar trying to keep his tears from falling. 

TOTAL PROPPING OF THE WEEK:  Liz: I'm so sorry Carly!! Why didn't I believe in you? You absolute honest goddess!!!!  .. AND Carly got reassurance times ten from Jason about their 'unbreakable bond'. He told her to mind her beeswax about Britt but validated her place in his life three-fold. 

SWEAT OF THE WEEK: Jason and Britt box it out at the gym. This is important because it's moving them forward as a couple and also pissing Carly off. heh

THE MOST INSANE THING I'VE SEEN IN AWHILE OF THE WEEK:  So, there I am. Happily thinking Thursday's show is pretty boring and... inserted right in the middle of people talking is a GIANT explosion that looks like it took out 1/2 the city. I blinked. Because 1 second later, we are back in the gym where Carly and Jason are. I'm thinking that at any moment, the windows blow in? A noise? Something? NOPE!! It takes another minute and Jason's phone rings saying the docks blew up. Um... SIR!! I think the world imploded and you're all ...meh. It had to be the strangest thing I've seen on a soap in awhile. First of all, they used stock CGI from somewhere that showed a giant building blowing up (I thought it was the gym) in the middle of the night. That means after 9pm here. Yet there's a meeting going on in the hospital? People are in the graveyard in the daytime? What? 

That really could have been a powerful moment if the windows had imploded at the gym and Carly and Jason had to creep out of the rubble. OR if the explosion had happened in ANY different way.  This will lead to Jason and Carly doing something "drastic" which has to mean getting married.  I'll have thoughts on that if and when it happens.  Photo thx to: #GHGifs (follow on twitter, great recaps) 

WOKE OF THE WEEK: Wow..they even used "white savior" with Alexis!! As she and Sean meet in the library (dating spot at the jail), they figure out his judge Ms. Carson is basically giving different sentences to different races. The warden gets word of shennanigans down in the media center and sends the guards to get Shawn back in his cell. Alexis intervenes and gets thrown to the floor. Her wrist is heard snapping. Then she's hustled to isolation for putting hands on a guard. I like these two. Strange how it has to be constructed in a co-ed jail but, there ya go. 

UT OH OF THE WEEK: You know you were thinking:  Nope Maxie, Nope Nope Nope! 

PATHETIC OF THE WEEK: Michael. Always Michael. 

SCENE OF THE WEEK/WUBS FAVE: Oh wow. The Hospital!! Since Cyrus has vacated, Monica takes over as director. Where does that leave Britt? Not sure yet. And Terry threw her hat into the consideration as well. This was the best scene because it was all women!! I loved it! 

WEEK IN A WUBSHELL: 

Dante's tracing phone records and pins and pings and tells Maxie the nurse is dead 

Chase's brother is again his brother and his grandfather is again his father 

And... his legs don't work from the waist down

Michael and Willow are sad. 

Avery's teddy bear starts talking in Ryan's voice

Maxie goes to see Louise at the Q house; calls her Louise 

Alexis gets hurt in jail and put into isolation 

Molly and TJ meet mean lady judge who praises Molly for her work in the DAs office 

Monica is now Chairperson of the Board and has to pick a Chief of Staff 

Britt and Jason box it out and get all flirty

Carly gets jelly; Jason reassures her she's important to him

Explosion takes out the docks 

Taggert and Curtis talk about Trina's grad party 

Elizabeth and Cameron apologize to Jason for thinking he killed Franco 

Cam apologizes to Josslyn 

EMMY NEWS:  Welp, GH won it all ! Series, Directing... and lead/supporting actors with Max Gail and Maurice Benard. I do wish one of our actresses had won but it was a big night for the show!! AND it was on Prime Time.... that's good news.

SPOILERS FOR NEXT WEEK:  Anna and Valentin meet Austin, Look for Brad to return for a bit, Ava gets another jolt and Cam has his grad party. Get all the scoops on Diagnosis Daytime. 

WUBS TAKE: As rumors go, the Cam Mathison as Drew seems to be gaining speed. Will Jason and Carly marry to save the mob? Could be and it would open the gate when Sonny comes back to 'find' Nina. He'll still have no memory and Jarly will have to keep up the ruse somehow or the five families will smell blood. They really need to step up the teen scene. Ooofff. So so boring. Cam is usually apologizing for something and I don't think Trina or Joss have had dates their entire senior year.  I'm already missing Cyrus and Martin has been on in weeks. Hurry up on the Ava thing because it's getting tedious.  Oh, Genie's lighter hair looks amazing! 

How did you view the week? Did you think that explosion was the weirdest?? And I guess Monday we will get Friday's show due to the interruption. 

See ya later!!
