Sunday Surgery: Under Pressure

 

Oh what a week. I had to watch three shows in one day on Hulu. Which by the way, is a good way to go!! No commercials and I swear the show flows better. 

This WILL be short and sweet..I'm only hitting the high-low lights. 

Went to an Amish bakery yesterday. Mistake. I'm in carbs for DAYS 

Ok, here we go. There's something I have to address right away that I'm not happy about but I will. Let me just say I've really been loving the show since COVID and all that jazz. This summer has, for the most part, come together really well. It's been fun, the dialog moves along and I enjoy watching. But.....

'Jason' wrestles with Nikolas after learning about the shooting. 

THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM:  So, I know people have been saying this for awhile and I've frankly ignored it because it didn't really matter. Now it can't be just swept under the rug. Shawn is out of jail. Shawn hires Sam to find "the shooter" of Hayden. Well... in 2016 there are quite a few intense scenes showing that Sam knew, Curtis knew and confronted Nikolas. Laura and Jason/Drew also knew (see above). It wasn't that  long ago and it was a major deal.  There's one of two things happening: Either they messed up or they rewrote it. I have to think it's the latter because--it's a biggie. Maybe having Shawn back and characters knowing they sent him away without saying anything is too much. It's going to be a hard one to get around though. Messy. I am scratching my head just wondering why they didn't let him out of jail and go with the judge story and forget the rest. 

You know I know how to dissolve a body, right? 

HELPING HAND OF THE WEEK:  Watch out Monday, I have a  feeling Liason will trend and... hoo wee. Jason of course will want to help and who better to dump a frozen Peter than him?  Question is: Will he still be in the freezer? Maybe he'll move it and when Anna goes to look he's gone? Can't wait!

Finn is the only one in a vest in GH..you know it, I know it....

REALIZATION OF THE WEEK: Oh, and doesn't Finola just act this to perfection? From when she started to realize at the Pub to when she questioned Finn in the hospital, it was just wonderful to watch. I love she knew that Valentin would say Finn's name and not make her do it. Now the question is, will she turn him in or??? The scenes in the Pub were really good; the fact that the pilot's sister was Claire/Marie was also a fun tie-in. VAnna is working--big time.

I need snacks and juice boxes for the roadtrip. 

GOODBYE OF THE WEEK: Maxie heads out to Texas, says goodbye to Bailey-Louise and because Spinelli is getting divorced, she's taking Georgie with her.  KS had to leave for surgery so this is the best fit. 

Does Lenny have Venmo? 

PHONE CALL OF THE WEEK: Nina finds out Lenny has cancer. She drops everything and goes back to Nixon Falls to lend money and connections. Lenny will be going to Llanview for surgery because Nina new the doctor via Silas (nice mention). MikeSon is upset, Phyllis is upset. Everyone is all angsty. I still think maybe Phyllis is connected to someone in PC and they might come to the funeral? 

You want fries with that? 

SPLASH OF THE WEEK: Oh, Spencer. Couldn't have happened to a better guy. This was the week he clicked for me; I loved to hate him!! Such a snot. Such a liar. Trina has his number tho. I think she might be the one to figure out he's the stalker. PS. Please have those kids order smoothies or slushies....not Shirley Temples. Thanks. 

It's hard to feel...when you don't feel... for feelings...

WEAK LINK OF THE WEEK: Hey, Portia/Jordan/Curtis...I just don't care. Stella finally talks Jordan into going to talk to Curtis and I swear we've already had a scene where she walks in on them? Anyway, I don't think Curtis and Portia really have chem and it's just boring me. 

Can I get you a magazine? 

WUBSY SCREAMED OF THE WEEK: Um, HELLO!! ahahhaha. I did NOT expect Ryan to be at the minimal security SPA prison with Alexis!! See, this is the kind of unbelievable stuff I can deal with. Why? Because it's FUN and So Soapy! 

Ok, but you do know I know Carly's a bitch, right? 

SCENE OF THE WEEK:  Even with the big flaws about Carly being Jason's 'savior' during the early years (we all know it was Robin) I still loved these scenes. Monica talking about AJ being troubled but Carly using his weaknesses to get what she wanted was perfect. Jason also admitted that keeping Michael from AJ wasn't a good idea. Just excellent stuff. Look for it on YouTube. 

WEEK IN A WUBSHELL: 

Monica is going to give her choice of Terry or Britt for COS

Jason and Monica talk about his upcoming marriage and AJ factor

Nina goes back to Nixon Falls to help Lenny with cancer treatments

Chase is frustrated by his lack of progress

Britt and Austin make a deal 

Jason wants to help Elizabeth move Peter's body

Alexis is in her new jail surroundings and so is...RYAN!!

Cuomo converted Shawn's sentence. He's a free man.

Spencer gets pushed in the pool by Joss; his secret is out to Trina

Trina tries and fails to get Nikolas and Ava together

Gladys wants Brando in the Mob-O... Brando wants to be a family with Sasha

Britt and Spencer reconnect 

Maxie said goodbye to Bailey Louise and left for Texas 

Anna figures out it was Finn on the roof of GH 

PLEASE READ THIS OF THE WEEK: I really just skimmed the surface here. I do think it's worth a watch to see the Spencer/Trina/Nik/Austin/Ava scenes. Also, Alexis and Sam.  Nixon Falls was pretty good as well even if it was in isolation. DON'T MISS THE VANNA scenes! Brook Lynn and Chase... there are so many little things to see!!

That's about it. I don't have spoilers to put up, Sorry... you'll just have to be surprised. Question: Do you think Hayden will be back soon? I mean, why else do this, right?
