Sunday Surgery: Enter, Stage Right

 

Well, in a week interrupted we had the Ball start and the Victor story finally coming to the climax. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting but Friday helped the situation. 

This weekend is all holiday-ish for me so this will be short and sweet. Just like Spinelli.

I feel this week was very stilted when it should have been flowing from red carpet to showcasing the cast to the acts and the evil empire rearing his ugly head. Instead it was pretty choppy, had so many holes and disappointments, The acts were really really spaced far apart.   Did Ned sing? Olivia and he were shown for a second... I think? Robert came in day 3...Laura wasn't at the ball but did see a knocked out Esme. Spinelli was there but only to smile when Georgie was singing. People popped in and out of the audience like ping pong balls. Maybe it's on again Monday because of the interruption but I don't think so. It could have been so much more for the 60th anniversary.

BONE MARROW SAGA OF THE WEEK:  Oh POOR POOR Willow...ONE day to GO and.. Guess what? Her DONOR IS IN THE TRUNK OF A CAR!! 

PERSON SHOT OF THE WEEK:  Anna's Down! Victor shot her after he got the necklace. Lucy escaped to eventually come out of her own photo at the Nurses' Ball. 

LAMPS SHOT OF THE WEEK:   Esme--down and out. Taken by all of the many many goons that were hanging around. Ace? On the Haunted Star with the rest of his Cassadine Clan. 

YOU RUINED EVERYTHING OF THE WEEK:  Lucy, Lucy, Lucy!! Could you have BEEN more annoying? That's a NOPE.

Best part of the Ball? : Bobbie Flashbacks 

So, I feel like for the 60th anniversary, this was a bit lacking in production values along with way too much chopping up of everything to be really entertaining. I miss the days when the Ball was staged like a Broadway production and was just act after act and a BIT of banter in the audience. I am hoping they address the Monica situation when Tracey comes home because it's just SO glaring that she's absent for everything. What was with Laura not being there? Where's Kevin? It's also hilarious that Drew was shown the first day then... POOF!  Also, it used to be almost the whole cast would pitch in for most of the acts. It's getting fewer and far between. 

Also, were you expecting a bit more guest star "surprises" at this Ball? I sure was. Maybe even John Stamos or Rena Sofer? Ok, I'll stop. Let's just say I wanted so much more than it was. 

LOOK!! It was his little girl that made a cameo!! Also seen: Kate Grahn (Nancy's daughter)  playing the guitar. Interesting that Derek stayed from Epiphany's memorial but William Lipton had to leave quickly? Wouldn't a "last Cam singing Cameo" have been nice? I mean his send off was good but...the timing? Weird. 

CHEERS!!
