Sunday Surgery: Nedly In a Coma

 

Sparkly Neuro-Bonnet too! 

As Sung BY THE Smiths !! This is the only thing that happened this week I was remotely interested in, btw. Yep.. So that's how THIS all went. Plus the fact we didn't get a Friday show. I did see the Canadian tweets so I can report some of that to you all today! 

Happy Sunday! I hope Canada is doing better on the fire-front. I know we are enjoying much cleaner air. 

I would like to note we currently have THREE characters in a coma: Lulu, Nikolas and now Ned. Is this a record ?? For like, characters IN a coma AT THE SAME TIME??? LOL geesh. BTW, coma caps have evolved since Lulu had one on. 

SPRINA DRAMA OF THE WEEK: Here we go AGAIN. Let me get this one straight: We waited for Victor's will to be read. Pretty underwhelming until Spencer gets a key to a deposit box. HEY!! We have evidence that Victor gathered against Esme!! Oh, it's getting good. Oh, wait. What? Spencer thinks it's probably fake and why use it anyway? Now, I personally want Esme out of PC with that baby because I don't want to hear about that kid for years like I have every other kid on this show with custody issues. Esme is being wasted so cut her loose. Get Trina and Spencer living together and doing some fun 20 something intrigue sheeze together. Thanks. 

HOOK UP OF THE WEEK:  This was all sorts of needed in the right ways. Handsome stranger, lonely divorcee sad about everything. They meet at a bar and--WELP! The last time that happened I can remember was either Julian and Britt--before that Sonny and Claudia. You know, they have steamy zex and then one of them finds out who the other is? Heh--Jordan's look on her face when she found out it was Portia's brother? PRICELESS. 

FLIP-FLOP OF THE YEAR:  Listen, I am one to give a WIDE berth to soap stories but even this is baffling. For a year we've watched and waited for Michael to set the trap on Sonny. Truth be told, he could have turned him in a number of times but waited for FEDERAL charges when the weapons came in from Pikeman. We get the video! We think wheels are going to turn and... wait. What? Dex (who wants to run to get out of the mob) tells Joss (who wants Dex out of the mob and Sonny in Jail) who urges Michael (who's having second thoughts) to turn it all in. He's like "nope, my dying wife doesn't want it so... no deal". THEN????  Oh yeah, his mother (who's all up in SEC charges) is told about it, asked to use it to get out of jail and--and... She destroys it!! BUT WAIT!! There's MORE!! Mom and Son meet in the GH utility stairwell like two gangsters and decide to PAY DEX TO PROTECT Sonny!! TO PROTECT HIM. Sonny's already hired Dex to do that so (wait for it) Carly wants Michael to get information and COUNSEL Dex on how to COUNSEL Sonny in the MOB BUSINESS. 

Please pause your reading while I take several shots...

Yep. That's it. Sonny in jail or even like... in trouble for anything? FK NO!! Did we ever think he would be?? FK NO.  Michael even said "you want Dex to be another Jason". So, there it is people. A year of your life waiting to find out that yes...Dex is indeed another Stone Cold (as if he could be that) but.. I digress.... *sigh* Just.. *sigh* 

NOTE: this photo is from a Canadian tweet...so... this will happen Monday 

SPLASH OF THE WEEK: It's not summer until someone goes in the pool! The one story I could get behind!! Ned overhears Nina and Marty basically yelling on the terrace about her turning in Crew to the SEC. In his glee, he forgets rule number one in the pool area: No running and trips on towels. IN he goes!! He also hits his head on the way down and... bloop! Did ya'll think the secret was going to come out at the beginning of summer? Come on now. Anyway, LOVED Tracey trying to pin it on Drew because it was SUCH a Tracey thing to do. Also loved that after reviewing the footage, Chase realized Nina was skulking at the scene the whole time. If you think about it, if Nina didn't turn in Crew and Ned didn't over hear it, he'd never be in a coma now! SO!!! Something else for the Nina haters to chew on!! How long will Ned be in that coma? Then when he wakes up, how long until he remembers? Taking bets on Twitter later. 

WE ALL NEED THIS OF THE WEEK: Ava, drink up girl because... this storyline? Again? Again with the mob bosses and you? *sigh*  This Austin-Mason thing has been dragging on a year now. AT LEAST. I don't care. Seriously. Whatever. And if you wanted to give Sonny competition, Wu is right there. Use her. No need for this "secret boss" mumbo-jumbo. It's honestly been so sporadic and so underwhelming it's just already done. See ya! Keep Nikolas or unthaw him. Just let Ava live her best life. This isn't it. 

OH, BEFORE I FORGET OF THE WEEK: Willow's Marrow update. I honestly thought this was going to be a dream sequence because she's talking to some rando nurse about her entire damn life. Did they leave the part out about the nurse not being real?   Welp, anyway, Harmony (who facilitated Willow's grooming/cult life/ rape) is okay in her book but Nina (mean to her when she was a teacher) is not. That's all you need to know. 

LIZ OF THE WEEK: Aw, she got Head Nurse, called Gran and talked to Papa Steve on the GH wall. Nice moment.

NOT SURE WHY THIS HAPPENED OF THE WEEK: Portia--Esme. Whatever. Weird. Don't care unless those pills are for something to make her look  more psychotic. Portia planning her demise behind the scenes? I'd be here for that. 

SCENE OF THE WEEK:  Maurice and Finola were in a totally unexpected, wonderful scene that blew me way. Anna is reeling from the revelations reported on her in the paper and Sonny drops by to offer support. He tells her the headlines of the worst days of his life. She just has the right emotions at the right time. Very well written, directed and acted. All the feels. 

WEEK IN A WUBSHELL: 

Ned finds out about Nina's secret, promptly falls into the pool and into a coma.

Anna has angst over the news of her being a double agent

Mason tells Ava to spy on Sonny or YOU'LL BE SORRY! Austin backs him up

Liz gets Head Nurse Position

Jordan sleeps with Zeke; Portia's brother

Tracy tries to say Drew attacked Ned but Chase proves otherwise

Michael hires Dex to "protect and counsel" Sonny 

Carly destroys the zip drive

Kevin and Laura are going to Chechnya

Willow talked to some rando nurse about life. 

Maxie was house shopping

That's about all I have because I've reached my brain limit on this show for now!! It's June and I'm busy busy. A bit of news: The actors on daytime dramas have something in their contract saying they can't strike so if SAG goes on the picket lines with the writers, that won't include our crew. That means GH carries on. However that will look. Walt Willy is coming in July as his old AMC character, Jackson Montgomery. Probably a lawyer for one of the SEC people. 

Here's hoping you have a great rest of your Sunday!! Cheers!
