Monday Monday

 

WOW, do we have a nice weather here!! Just gorgeous. All weekend was beautiful and now it's up into the 70s and maybe 80s tomorrow.  The colors this year are wonderful too. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Lucas, Liz and Isaiah are still suspicious about why Lulu's ventilator stopped working. Later, Liz and Lucas talk. He says that even though Lulu will get a new liver, it doesn't mean she'll wake up. Her quality of life won't change. He thinks he should talk to Lucky and Laura about this. Liz isn't so sure. 

Terry tells Lucky and Laura that Lulu has some portal vein thrombosis and it's going to be a dangerous operation.  It's a blood clot to the liver. Her odds just went way down for survival. Laura says she doesn't want to cancel. Terry says they have to tell Sam about this and she can decide to go ahead with the operation. She also says their surgical team hasn't done one of these more complex operations. Lucky says he might be able to help with that. 

Lucky talks to Isaiah and asks if he's ever done an operation like the one he's describing. He says yes and the person survived. BUT another surgery is why he went to Africa. That patient died and he can't have that happen again. Lucky says is it HOPELESS? Isaiah says he can't say that then Lucky is like: WELP you're just scared. 

Cody and Dante have a beer in the horse barn. Cody is ecstatic about Sam being the donor. Dante feels guilty about spending so much time with Lulu and not Sam.  Dante says Lulu is his past and Sam is his future. 

Sam has Jason and Drew come to the Qs so she can tell them she's donating.  The kid will stay at the Qs and she wants them to spend a lot of time with them when she's gone for a week. They agree. Sam goes to say goodbye to the kids. 

Maxie and Sasha talk about Robert. Maxie says: what if she's not lying? Sasha says she's just running a con and wants her to go to Europe and cut ties with Port Charles. Sasha also says the only reason Holly rescued all the people in Africa was because she was probably getting something out of it. 

Tracey comes home to say goodbye to Violet. They are going to have one last tea party. Violet's sad. Tracey's sad. Tracey says she'll visit. They have a tea party with Lila's china. Brook is like: HEY! I could never touch this! Tracey says life is too short and she's giving the set to Violet. Violet says to keep out  a cup so they can have tea party video chats. Then Violet tells Chase and Brook she wants to visit her grandfather's bench. She'll miss them and hopes they have a baby girl. 

Robert and Holly talk and he wants answers about not knowing about Sasha this whole time. He asks why she didn't say anything when he was upset about Ethan being Luke's and not his. She said she didn't want to hurt him and she loved him. She also says if it wasn't for the Cody/Sasha relationship she never would have told him. Holly then says that when the DNA tests come back, Sasha will hate her even more and need to lean on Robert. 

END: 

Chase is going to Seattle to take Violet to Finn's 

Holly calls Sonny about the diamonds 

Isaiah agrees to do the surgery. 

Lucas decides to be a Spencer and fight for Lulu and not tell Lucky and Laura about her odds and not ever waking up

Sunday Surgery: Medication Needed

 

I've been on the net for so many years, it's ridiculous. I started in the 90s on the AOL message boards and migrated to Soap Zone. I have never seen a week like this in my lifetime. Message boards: ON FIRE with anger and puzzlement. So, let's take a dive into the world of soaps, shall we? 

I'm thinking get a parachute and some CBD gummies for this one! 

DNA Testing

 

OMG Holly goes to see Felicia looking for Mac. Says she had a secret she was taking to the grave about her daughter. Maxie: What daughter????? Holly tells them it's Sasha. Maxie is like GTF out of here. NO way. She never said anything. Holly says Sasha wants nothing to do with her. She said she couldn't raise her but she did try to teach her everything she knows and Sasha's a natural.  Felicia asks who the father is. Holly says she thought he was dead and years later didn't want to show up with Sasha on his doorstep. Felicia says she thinks she knows but hopes not for Sasha's sake. (meaning Cody) Maxie goes wacky! LOL!! and:

DNA QUESTION ANSWERED: Felicia had a paternity test done. YES or NO...not a DNA percentage test so it didn't show any relation to Mac. 

Holly leaves. Maxie wonders if Sasha and Holly can ever mend fences. Felicia isn't sure. 

SASHA IS IN Robert's office!! "Let's get one thing clear, you are NOT my father"!! Robert is like, why would she lie? Sasha asks when they were married. He's like, well...hard to say. She thought I was dead, I thought she was dead. LOL... Then she wants a DNA test. He calls Jack at the WSB so Holly can't tamper with the results from GH. Sasha is glad of all the people Holly could pick she was glad it was Robert. BUT doesn't believe they are father and daughter. 

Sam goes to the Davis girls to tell them she's a match for Lulu. Everyone is happy. Then FKING Kristina hijacks the entire conversation and talks about THE RIC Encounter at the restaurant last night!!!! WHAT!! This is also Kelly's last scene with them. WHY would they write that in!!OMG it goes on and on. Alexis tells them to shut up because Sam needs them right now. They don't. Sam is like: I'm out of here. BYE. 

Tracey is talking to Lulu at her bedside. Laura looks on. Laura thanks her for looking after Ace. Also for caring for Lulu years ago. NICE SCENE. They talk about headstrong Lulu and all the  years. AWWW. Terry comes out to tell Laura they need to talk about the surgery. 

Liz is at Laura's house and Lucky walks downstairs. He wonders why she's there. Liz says Sam is the donor. They hug. She's watching Ace. He asks what Aiden was like. She says musical like him. When the nanny comes they share a ride to GH. 

Finn moved to Seattle and Violet is going there. She packs and realizes how far it is away. She's sad but it will be ok because they'll have a baby soon. Brook sobs and finds Lois and Ned. She doesn't know if she can let Violet go. Cries. Lois is looking suspicious when Brook is talking about letting a child go. Lois has to leave the room. Brook realizes they never told Tracey that Violet is leaving. 

Isaiah tells Lucas about the ventilator failing and saving Lulu. They figure out someone tampered with it. Might have to go to the police. 

END: 

Lois looks in on Violet with tears in her eyes

Brook Calls Tracey to come home.

Holly goes to talk to Robert 

Terry says there might be a complication with the surgery. 

MONDAY: JASAM SCENES 

Mommy

 

I'm finally excited again to watch an episode! Squee. SO many guesses out there about Sasha's daddy. Robert? Luke? Bill Eckert? Toliver? Hmmmm. Someone we don't know?? We shall see how they spin all this. 

Dante and Sam tell the kids she's a Lulu Liver match. Operation is the day after tomorrow. Scout is concerned. 

Sasha says she never sees her mother unless a scam is involved. Holly says she's there to help her out of a bad situation. She can't get closer to Cody Bell. OMG the last scam they pulled was on David ViCKERS in LLANDVIEW! ahahahaaha. Sasha says Holly is a bad mother. Holly is like, yeah I am. They talk and Sasha won't believe her. Holly says when she was pregnant with Sasha, she thought her father was dead. Then she thought his enemies would use her as bait. IT'S ROBERT!! Holly didn't want him to know because she was ashamed. Yada yada. Sasha storms out. Tracey is at the door and sees Holly. "Look what the cat dragged in".  They spar. 

Tracey asks Cody about the money request. He is not happy she found out. He tells her about the ranch. They talk about all the men that have scammed her and he doesn't want to be one of them. She talks about Luke and such. He says he won't ask a friend for the money. 

Sasha finds Cody in the horse house and kisses him on the mouth: HARD!! Then she breaks away and says she has to go to the kitchen. 

ALexis goes into Jordan's office to talk about TJ and Molly. She thinks the trial with Ava will put them over the edge. Jordan says they need to let them work it out themselves. 

TJ brings in Molly's dry cleaning. They are going to Marshall's goodbye party at the Savoy tomorrow. She forgot. She was working on the Ava Jerome case. She thinks Kristina is going to tank the case. She thinks she'll lose it on the witness stand. 

Ava and Ric have dinner at The Metro.  I LOVES THEM. Kristina walks in. Dirty looks all around. OMG Krissy and Ric are all snipey. She killed MY BABY! Ric says MOLLY's BABY!! She calls her Adella and he's like: UM IRENE.  She yells in the restaurant; SHE KILLED MY BABY AND CONNIE AND MORGAN. Then she grabs Ric's drink an hurls it across the room. Alexis comes in and is like: KRISTINA! Orders her home. Ric is like: WOW you're out. Heard the found the gun. You must have friends in high places. 
Ric then basically says he set the whole thing up so Kristina would walk in, find them and go nuts in front of customers. He can call them as witnesses for the trial!! He found out Kristina and Alexis were going there for dinner and set up a dinner with Ava. 
I LOVE RIC. 

END: 

Sante family hug all around. 

PS I don't know about the DNA test and Sasha. Maybe Holly THINK she's Robert but she's not. 

Don't @ me lol 

Sasha won't believe Holly

I'm SHOOK

 

I was OUT TO LUNCH AND LATE!! Here I am!! 

I got in at 2:!5 so... HANG ON 

CYRUS totally messed with the machine for Lulu. He said "I have a gift for Laura" . I think he was "letting her go" so Laura wouldn't worry anymore. BUT didn't know about the donor situation. I bet he thought "releasing" LULU from life would be a gift. 

Dante comes out and asks Liz why he's not being updated. Liz says she has to make a report on the respirator first. He apologizes. They talk about Lucky and Lulu. Liz gets a text the results are in from the liver screening. 

Sam says yes, test me to Terry but don't tell Dante. She doesn't want Rocco and Dante to get their hopes up again. 

Brennan says it was sloppy of Jason and Anna to leave Sidwell alive because he killed the rescue team in Africa. He thinks someone brought something back from Africa and they were looking for it in the plane. They ransacked the hangar it was in and the plane. He wonders where Holly was during the escape. They said you'd better ask Holly! 

Holly and Felicia are talking and Holly recognizes Sasha. She drinks a LOT. I think Sasha is a SCORPIO and maybe Ethan's twin?? and that's why they haven't slept together? I mean, Holly is acting NUTS LOL . She says are you sure Cody isn't scamming you all? Felicia says at first yes, he was but now, no. Holly orders a double scotch LOL 

Mac and Robert are talking about Holly and Mac says that Holly is up to something. He tells Robert not to fall for her again when he has a "Gorgeous redhead" now.  Mac leaves and Diane comes in. She wonders what Robert wanted. 

Michael says no to Sasha about investing in Cody's Serenity ranch.  He leaves. Tracey heard Sasha ask Michael. Is not happy. Sasha tells her why she asked Michael and she wanted to ask him before Cody asked Tracey. Tracey blows up and isn't happy. CODY would NEVER ASK ME FOR MONEY! Sasha says no, he knows men have used you for your money and he's your friend. 

Isaiah and Jordan go out to dinner at the Surf place. He talks about being a transplant doctor and how great it is to save a life. 

HOLY SHEEEEEEEEEZE!!

END: Sasha opens the door and it's Holly. She asks What are you doing here? "Hello daughter" says HOLLY.. and Sasha says HELLO MOTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so SHE KNEW!!!

Sam tells Dante she's a match for Lulu

No Accent

 

Tracey, Brook and Olivia go around about Violet's suspension. It's just blah. Tracey has her lawyers looking into suing the parents of the kid that bullied Vi. Olivia defends Tracey and says she's making up for not being able to help Lulu. Then Brook talks to Willow and wants advice from a former teacher. She says get a team together. 
Tracey tells Olivia later that she can't control anything so she's going after the primary school. "Lulu is dying"...they hug.

Cody wants to buy "Serenity" the ranch he grew up on... for an animal rescue ranch. I thought the ranch was far away????? I don't know. His idea is to ask Tracey for a loan for the down payment. The ranch costs $6 million LOL. He chickens out actually asking her though. 

Drew and Willow. Willow says she has to go. Drew says let's talk and NED walks in: what's up!! ahahaha. Willow leaves. He tells Drew that they can get Valentin's shares transferred at some point. Ned also wants the kids to get equal shares and he'll vote proxy until they are of age. Plus he wants to run Drew's shares while he's in office. Drew and Michael and like; We need to think about it. Ned flips out and goes to Olivia; We are supposed to be united as a family! Then he leaves with a plan. 

Drew tells Michael HE has to take over ELQ when he wins the election. They figure out how to split power. 

Ned meets with Elaine the dog lady. Wants to hire her to find out if Drew/Willow are having an affair. 

Liz is on the phone and wants the possible donor info sent to her asap. Isaiah is out of the bed, walking around. Asks about Lucky. She says he's not able to donate and Isaiah is sad. PSA about donating organs. Then Liz looks at the computer and finds the name "I Know who can save Lulu" Smiles a bit. 

Laura is in with Lulu at her bedside. Marty comes in. He's been tested and doesn't match. She wants to know about this 'transformation' aka: shaving his beard. THEN she mentions his accent. He says he got tired about being asked about "Fried Chicken" and got a vocal coach HAHAAHA. PFFFFFFFT. Anyway, when they walk back into Lulu's room, Cyrus is there. 
Marty talks to him in the hall he says he has a gift for Laura. Just then Liz comes in and says they might have a donor. 

Sam and Dante are at the batting cage, getting ready for the soft-ball finals. Sam gets hot dogs. Forgets the mustard. He says he saw Dex and tells Sam they found the gun. He almost told Sonny and stopped his confession and ruined his career. Marty came in though and he didn't have to say anything. They talk about Rocco. TERRY CALLS SAM INTO HER OFFICE. 

END: 

Sam is a match.

Finn is getting out of rehab 

Storylines GH Should Do, But Won't

  I'm out of the office today--David and I came up with these stories to just start shaking and baking at GH. Just riffin' on some things. Have a good one and report if I should watch the show later!! 

After years of recycled storylines, it should be time to shake up GH and bring in some stories that will entice the current viewers and also bring in new/old ones. Over time, taboo issues have eventually been brought into the television mainstream. Abortion on Maude and, well, just about everything else on All in the Family. Can GH tackle strong subjects again like Robin's HIV and Michael's r*pe?  

Open Relationships between consenting adults. We need more "free love" on soaps, especially in an era where anything could go. GH is so stale with their married (and unmarried) couples, it might be refreshing to have some swingers on. It would be doubly hilarious if it was Chase/BrookLyn leading the way.  Get a little Cody-Sasha action in there. 

Cutting/Self-Harm. Statistics show that this issue primarily occurs with females in their late teens. I am sure that is just a random statistic and this happens with the same amount of guys as well. Depression is the usual culprit along with self-esteem problems. The person involved usually does the cutting (most notably in an arm) to create physical pain to alleviate the emotional one. ☝️ 

Cheating. When was the last really good love triangle on this show? It could have been with the triad knowing about each other or behind closed doors. Being this is 2024, a good triangle might involve 2 guys and a woman instead of the usual triad above. It really has been way too long since GH took liberties with relationships. Closest we have right now is Willow/Drew/Nina and Willow and Drew haven't even..you know. 

Eating Disorders. While this is actually an older concept, GH has never really explored a true eating disorder. Perhaps Aidan develops one or Georgie. KS has talked about her struggles in the past so maybe she could help contribute to the storyline. 

What about somebody who is on onlyfans? One of the doctors or nurses can be earning extra cash on the side and then they get found out throughout the hospital. Or maybe one of the doctors is a high priced escort in their free time (for both men and women)?  OR get really racy and have a younger gen do this. Gio could have a side-line where he plays the violin in his birthday suit online. 

5 year time jump. Desperate Housewives did this and so did a few other TV shows. One of the benefits would be that the show can clean house and literally start anew. Characters (and actors) can leave the show for a variety of reasons resulting in a smaller cast. Couples can split up and new couples can emerge without the usual build-up. People can be in new careers and new sets can be built from old ones. It's a fresh start that can be needed to revive the show.

Do you like your soaps to be all angsty and dark or do you like them lighter and more cheery? The trick is a good balance between the two. GH has room for both, especially with the hospital  setting. 

Sunday Surgery: No Liver River

 

Welp, it took long enough but Laura finally found Lucky!! That's the biggest news of the week along with a gun turning up. As you know by Friday I had had enough and tuned out. So it GOES with me and GH!! 

Sorry it's late today---I saw Steven Page and Billy Brag last night!! 

Grab your Triple L Diner coffee and let's GO GO 

Friday: I lasted about 12 minutes

 

Everyone is getting tested for Lulu. OH!!! BTW!! Holly contacted Ethan and he's not a match LOL!! OK, then. OFF camera. Ava runs into Lucas and says "you're seeing family and I'm family"!!! She finds out he's working at GH. 

Cody comes in to be tested too. 

Dex sees Dante at work. Dante is cleaning things up before he takes a leave of absence. Dex tells him he's getting tested and about the gun that was brought to the station.

Anna takes evidence to Robert showing that the gun Alexis dropped didn't shoot Cates.

Marty visits Alexis again and says she should be out by the end of the day. 

Sonny, Michael and Krissy are all at Sonny's. He tells them he's going to turn himself in. 

Ok, I'm bailing. There was a scene with Carly, Ava and Lucas and I just can't finish today. I'm tired of whatever they think they are proving by having Carly be the fking savior in everything and every other character bearing the brunt. That Ava Lucas scene could have been tense but they made it unwatchable. 

Phone Tracker APP

The Pacing of this show is just HORRIBLE. Days and Days of talking in Lulu's room about Lulu. Days and months of talking about the shooting. Just......days and days......... good lord. 

Laura finds out that Lucky isn't a match. She's in shock. He tells her it's his fault because he was living in zones that were bad and got the parasite. Pity Party. Laura says not his fault. He's great for helping so many people. Yada yada. She needs him now.

Marty visits Alexis in the jail suite and shows her the photo of Brennan and Carly. She says it's not enough for anything.  Then they talk some more and she says to take it to the PCPD.

Kristina goes to Anna with information on the shooting. She tells Anna she was driving Alexis' car and stopped at the Q mansion. Michael breaks in "STOP TALKING, WE ARE GOING HOME"! He gives Anna a dirty look. HOW DARE HE?  Then Chase comes in because there's a BOMB THREAT at the PCPD. YEP, A BOMB that the 'dogs found'. It was a false alarm. They are going to open the package. 

Michael takes Krissy out for a late night coffee. Oh, he found her because he put a tracker on her phone LOL. How old IS she? She agrees to keep quiet FOR NOW. 

Diane wants to talk to Jason to help with the case. She says Sonny has to confess. He says he's going to go to that but he's telling Carly first. Diane is happy because it will get Alexis off. He says Sonny CAN'T CONFESS because of what it will do to Carly. Jason says he should have killed JAGGER when he had the chance. Then he says he doesn't matter as much as Carly and Sonny. YEP he said that. She said: I don't think your sons would think that. She reads him the riot act about being stupid.

Sonny and Carly talk about the PI following her. He says he's turning himself in. She says he can't because she's his alibi and would be proven to be lying.  They are miserable. Sonny says Carly has to leave the country. She won't do it. She tells him Lucky can't donate to Lulu. She can't leave now. She tells Sonny to get his affairs in order but he has to tell Dante now..and she'll talk to Josslyn.

Sonny calls Diane and tells her to get over to Carly's.

Dante and Liz talk in Lulu's room. They talk about the liver situation. That's about it. Oh, Olivia comes in. Finds out Lucky isn't a donor. Olivia tells Nina to get a media blitz to search for a donor. 

END: 

What's in the box? It's the GUN.. to clear Alexis. 

Laura asks Lucky to hold her hand in case they have to let "Lulu go"

Steven Lars is Back!

 

I think they are going through the "old character catalog" and getting out their thinking caps!! That's right, Scott Reeves is back as Steven Lars. Read about it on TVLINE.  The character of Steven Lars Webber has been off canvas for 11 years. It's a short-term stint from what I've seen. PS. I think he went to prison for organ traffic. Um... LULU? lol 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Alexis visits with Kristina. It's night. But hey. Alexis tells her she has a plan but she can't tell her about it. Krissy is worried. Krissy is upset. You know.

Joss is pissed that Lucky trashed the family diner. They yell at each other. Then Lucky leaves and the police come in. They got a call a crazy person was breaking up the joint. She won't press charges and says it's a family thing. Later, Dex comes back to help her clean up.

Sonny and Natalia talk about business (Deception) which I thought he was a silent partner in?? Anyway, she wants to keep it professional...but likes him. :eyeroll: She talks about him being a mobster and dangerous. They almost kiss but Sonny's lawyer calls. Kristina comes in. Nat tells her that Blaze is doing really well on tour. Natalia leaves. Sonny's still talking to someone. Natalia leaves. Kristina tells Sonny they have to get Alexis out of jail. Sonny says it's all JAGGER'S FAULT anyway. (eyeroll)

Carly's all dressed up and goes into Brennan's suite for dinner. Lady with the Doggie snaps a photo. Felicia tries to call her but she turns her phone off. Banter Banter. Then the Doggy lady tries to get into the room, Carly hides. Lady says she got her room mixed up. Felicia is peeking around the corner. Carly finds out that the lady is a PI, Brennan guessed it. Now they have to get her out of the hotel not seen. He snags the lady and Felicia helps Carly leave. 

Anna goes to see Jason. Tells him to forget about the kiss. Don't join the WSB. Leaves. Then Lucky comes in and wants to go to Africa. Needs a passport because Sidwell took his. Jason realizes he's not a donor. Jason tells him Laura will be home soon and not to run away. Tells him to say goodbye. Lucky is like: NOPE. Lucky says he was destroying Liz before he left and he needed to get away from everyone. Like his Dad used to. Jason gives him 10K but says he should stay. Lucky takes the money and leaves.

Molly goes into Anna's office and says to reopen the case and look at the real killer: Sonny Corinthos. Molly yells and talks about Anna wanting justice. Anna says it's the FBI case now. Molly yells. Leaves. 

END: 

Kristina goes to Anna with "information"

Laura walks into the chapel where Lucky is praying

Throwing Plates

 

Anna and Jason are debriefed by Brennan. He wants ALL the details. Jason just sits there like a bump on a log while Anna tells the story. The WHOLE STORY.... like over and over. So if you missed, it, tune in today! 

Holly visits Robert. He wants to know why she's mixed up with a sleeze bag like Sidewell. She says a girl has to make a living. She also says she helped save everyone and ended up leaving with nothing. He tells her he's with Diane. Then Mac barges in. Holly leaves. Mac tells Robert to think about Diane. Robert tells Mac to get out. 

Lucas and Carly talk at The Metro. He says he saw Willow and Wiley at Bobbie's.  They talk about him and Wiley and Wiley being in 2nd grade and yada yada. Carly finds out Brad is working at the GH lab and is not happy. 

Mac and Felicia eat breakfast. He doesn't like Holly. She does. More talk about that. Then Fe notices a lady who's a "PI" and has a dog. In the restaurant. Felicia thinks she must be working on a case. Random. She comes up to Felicia and asks if Carly is back with Sonny or seeing someone new. Um.. okay? Oh Martin hired her. Anyway, Felicia tells her that Lucas is Carly's brother and he's a doctor and he's gay.  Holly then comes in and talks to Carly about talking to Sonny. Asks if they are back together and the Dog Lady watches. 

Lucky won't believe his liver won't be good for Lulu. Liz explains about his enzymes and it wouldn't be safe for her to get it. He got parasites when traveling at some point and his body isn't reacting to them but Lulu's would. He's mad... yada yada. Then he goes to tell Lulu his liver isn't good. Rocco comes in and says "I recognize you from photos". He says he heard Lucky saying he can't be a donor. Then Dante comes in all happy and Lucky has to tell him he can't donate. Rocco flips out and says everyone is a liar.  Sam and Dante talk to him.

Meanwhile, Lucky goes to Bobbie's and SCREAMS FOR EVERYONE TO GET OUT. 

Alexis and Sam talk. Sam already went looking for the gun in the river!! So did the police but they are going again. So...?? Will Sam go again? Then they talk about the WHOLE thing again and again, exactly like Alexis was talking to everyone about for weeks. She blames Ric for turning her in.  
Martin hired that PI Lady to trail Carly to break up Sonny's alibi. Alexis is starting to see that the plan might work. 

END: 

Lucky trashes Bobbie's. 

Brennan asks Carly out to dinner

Going To The Principal

 Ok, so Violet's principal's office is straight out of Gilmore Girls LOL Is she in a private school? Dang. He says the other kid IS a bully but Violet still hit him, not cool. Then they talk about ways to help her. Principal is saying what a great kid she is and they have to work together. Then DIANE shows up (Tracey called her) as "Violet's lawyer" . Brook hustles her out of there and says they don't need her. 

Tracey is with Violet while she writes her father a weekly letter. Vi doesn't know if she should tell him about the bully and punching him. Tracey teaches her a way to handle it (in French) by saying "I have no time for this." 

Gio comes into the kitchen and Violet tells him about hitting the kid that said that about her father. He's like COOL! That's what my family would do! Lois is listening as Gio talks about his mom being gone. Lois listens in. 

Lucas goes into Bobbie's and is all nostalgic. Willow and Wiley walk in. Awkward! Wiley: WHO'S THAT, MOMMY? She 'introduces him' as Great Uncle Lucas. They talk and Michael and Maxie come in. Millow and Wiley are going on a boat ride. Wiley asks Lucas to come. He says no he has to leave. Maxie follows him out. 

Maxie finds Lucas talking to Bobbie's headstone. They hug. Talk about giving up Wiley. 

Millow want to tell Wiley about Lucas and his past. They tell him Lucas took care of him as a baby until it was time to go live with them. He says OK, let's go boating now. 

Lucky and Aiden see each other in GH and Liz takes them to the break room. Lucky apologizes to Aiden. Aiden tells him he's gay. Lucky says nothing can ever make him stop loving Aiden. They hug. 

Brennan brings a bottle of champagne to Holly's room and wants to talk about Sidwell. She says she only knew him personally, no idea about his business. Brennan doesn't buy it. Then Felicia stops over and talks to Holly. Felicia tells her Brennan got Frisco kicked out of the WSB. He leaves. Felicia and Holly talk about Africa. 

Robert tells Diane that Holly is in town. He says Diane is his future and Holly is his past. They kiss. 

END: 

Holly and Robert come face to face

Liz tells Lucky his liver isn't viable for Lulu.

Thought you'd like to see this post that Kelly made to IG today. Sad and poignant. 

Sunday Surgery: Box Car Days

 

Ah... I had a good ol' nostalgia-fest this week with LL2. Early days of their relationship were magic and I for one am enjoying reliving them. I'm sure there will be plenty of time for revisiting the 'bad' LL2 years but for now, I'm happy. 
If you know the Box Car reference, then sit next to me!! *Sing "Box Car Days" to Wang Chung's Dance Hall Days 

We only had 3 days this week so I'm hoping to get through it quickly!! Grab something and let's GO GO. 

BRUCAS

 

HAPPY FRIDAY!! Here's a flashback for you! Old School Liz and Lucky. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Ric tries to talk through who might have changed the lab results and it's dawning on Ava that it is probably Portia. She tries to steer Ric to tell GH it was 'probably a mistake' and not sue them or anything. He's thinking she's protecting someone. They didn't kiss. BUMMER. 

Ava goes in to see Portia and is like: Um, I know you changed those results! Then she says they have to protect Trina from knowing because Ric will find out. Portia needs her help. Portia finally admits she did it. Ava says good! keep protecting Trina. Portia thinks Brad already suspects her. Ava says they'll work together to keep Heather in jail. 

Trina sees Gio playing his violin and gives him a dollar. He talks about playing outside and how awesome it is. (He's outside of Bobbie's). She says they are rebooking the Art Gallery opening thing and wants him to play. He says NOPE, Ava pushed Uncle Sonny's daughter out the window and no way. Trina says: OK, welp, you'll never play there again! She goes inside Bobbie's. Joss comes along and gets Gio to go in and talk to Trina. Joss says not to end their friendship over Ava or Sonny. They decide to agree to disagree and he will play the opening. 

Lucky doesn't shower, doesn't go see Aiden but he goes to see...Sonny. :EYEROLL: Lucky says Luke wouldn't be proud of him because he left in the first place. He's also afraid to go see his son. Sonny tells him he has to show up and worry about everything later. Also reminds Lucky that Aiden is in school at this hour (which I forgot) LOL. Good scene. 

Carly and Joss are doing their nails and then Lucas visits. Carly is overjoyed. I LOVE this NULUCAS!! WOW... I didn't know him from before and if we couldn't have RC, I'll take him. Carly says he's back and has a job. He wrote to Michael and Willow and they are ready to let him come be an uncle to Wiley. Doesn't want to see Brad though because he's 'ethically challenged" LOL Then he asks about Sonny. They also talk about Ava and Krissy, then he goes to GH to get his ID. 

At GH, Terry gets him filled in. THEN he goes to see BRAD in the lab!! He tells him they are only going to talk about WORK and nothing else. He doesn't want him in his life EVER. 

Lucky comes into Isaiah's room and he's on the crutches. They talk about Port Charles and the people Isaiah has met. 

Carly goes to see Sonny and they talk about Lucas thinking they are getting back together. She also wants to know how they are protecting Alexis from going to jail. 

Book and Chase are going to get busy in the bedroom but the school calls and Violet is being sent home. She hit a boy in class.  Garth said her dad was a drunk. Then she slugged him and he threw grape juice on her. They think Violet really misses Finn and they will have to help her through this. 

END: 

Sonny says if they don't find the gun to clear Alexis, he's turning himself in

Ava finds out that Ric filed an emergency motion to get Heather released from jail and he thinks it's going to work

Isaiah says he's never doing surgery again. 

The Tigers Won so, YES! GH Today

 

I have no idea about the baseball stuff happening but I guess since the Tigers won yesterday, we are on today!! 

Lucky and Liz have a flashback to when they first met. He kids her about caffine and says "at least you're not smoking" or something like that. Yes, I got goosebumps. They are getting BLTs like the old days and sitting and talking. He tells her about his time at the camp. Then they turn to talk about Aidan. She says he doesn't know him. He's going to go see him after going to the hospital for more tests. He says he likes the sign she painted. He could tell she did it. 

Curtis and Marshall. Curtis wonders why he lied about his work gig with Wynton Marsalis. Marshall says he's not taking it. He wants to be around his son. He has to run the Savoy. N'neka is in grad school. (News to us and Curtis!!) Marshall says he was a terrible dad and has to make it up to him. He decides to go. 

Dante brings Portia donuts for the staff to say thank you for Lulu's care. Then Portia runs right into Brad. He says he taking over a shift. She says he's going to screw up eventually. He says he owes it to Britt to be good. She says: OH! You used the dead friend card with Terry to get a job here! THEN she flashes back to changing the lab results!! She yells at Brad again. He  walks away and Trina comes around the corner: You ok mom? 

Jason is in talking to Lulu about staying strong. Dante walks in. Gives Jason a look. Says thank you. Jason leaves and runs into Sam who also thanks him. "You were just being you and I'm grateful"  Then....Lucky and Liz come around the corner.  Sam goes in to see Lulu and Dante. Liz rushes to hug Jason. 

Molly goes in to see Alexis. Tells her not to do stupid things to keep Sonny out of jail. Alexis says they have to find that gun to prove her innocence. Molly gets frustrated about Kristina and leaves. 

Ric is in to see Heather. He says he cobalt levels didn't change. She says she knows that's what made her a killer. She doesn't care about the settlement, she wants to see Ace. He leaves. 

Alexis and Heather talk in the cell. Yada yada. Heather wants Alexis to believe in her. THIS IS THE HARMONY STORY AGAIN! LOL 

Ava and Trina are in The Gallery. Ava talks about her upcoming trial. Wants Trina to run the Gallery. Trina says no, she's back to college. Ava's happy for her. She'll always be there for Tri if she needs her.  She leaves and Ric comes in and tells Ava that he can maybe get her statement thrown out. Then they talk about Heather. He says she deserves another chance just like the two of them have had. Ric gets the independent lab results. BOTH say the cobalt levels are lower. Oh no, Brad is going to get blamed! 

THE END: 

Lucky thanks Elizabeth

Dante tells Sam she is all he needs (bloop!) 

Alexis tells Heather to get more testing done. 

SAD news: Ron Hale of GH and Ryan's Hope fame has passed away. He played Roger on RH and Mike Corbin (1) on GH. 

No New Show Tues/Wed .... Thursday??

 

Remember that baseball is on which means GH is NOT on. It might be on Thursday depending on how the games go. 
Don't ask me, not a baseball person!! 

Question is: Has Anna showered yet? 

HOME Again

 

I wasn't going to watch AGAIN but I'm here because I'm sick and well, I've slept enough today. Can't get much worse!!! 

Carly is visiting Lulu's bedside and Brennan walks in. He says everyone is safe. 

Lucky is at the hospital. Portia and Terry are relieved to see him. Portia examines him and takes blood. They'll know if he's a match soon

Carly tells Jason and Lucky that they can't reach Kevin and Laura. Weather, Africa...yada yada He tells her about the drone rescue and she yells: THAT WAS ME!! I DID THAT! I went to BRENNAN AND I KNEW ABOUT THEM...AND.. Oh, brother :Eyeroll:  

Lucky is cleared to go see Lulu. He flashes back to when she was a baby and he was younger and talking to her. GAH

Anna has Jason kiss flashbacks. Felicia arrives. Anna didn't even get to change her damn clothes. Fe wants all the dirt on the caper. She mentions Jason was so amazing. Also that Holly is home. Anna talks about that night almost dying. Felicia says: that has to be a comfort like he was suck a comfort to ROBIN. HAHAHAHA 

NEW AIDAN I knew he couldn't be THAT TALL!! KNEW IT!! Liz tells him Lucky is home. He LOOKS more like Lucky but he seems like he's about 20 in real life LOL. I guess he's only 14? I'll have to look him up on IMDB at some point. Terry comes in later and tells Liz that Lucky is being tested. Liz says she knows Lucky is only home to save Lulu. Doesn't have any expectations. 

Holly visits Mac at Maxie's, she's looking for Robert. He's not home, he's not at the office. Mac takes James to school and Holly makes herself coffee. She calls someone about the diamonds. Then Mac gets back home. He tells her he has  son and asks about Ethan. He also says Robert is happy and has a good life. Tells her all she does is swoop in and cause chaos and leaves. She gets all pouty and is like: WELL!! GOODBYE! 

Curtis and Nina are on at the office. He's all in a suit. He got distribution for Crimson in Australia. She says things about Drew and he gives her the side eye. She says she's Drew's campaign wife. HE's like, girl, how you have the time? (BTW, this part of the show does NOT fit in with the rest of the show) Curtis gets a random phone call telling him Marshall is going to tour with Winton Marsalis.  Oh, okay? 

END: 

Holly goes to knock on Robert's door and stops herself

Carly can tell that something "ELSE" happened on that mission (smelling Anna? LOL)

Lucky is a match for Lulu and his liver is healthy

Lucky and Liz come face to face at Bobbie's. 

NO NEW GH UNTIL THURSDAY... unless Baseball runs over and then it will be FRIDAY

Sunday Surgery: Kiss Off

 

I did NOT take this advice!!! I'm going to run through some things that happened this week. Here we go: 

FINALLY!! James tells someone that Willow felt guilty kissing Drew. Who did he tell? Ned. Here's hoping Ned is on the show again in the coming weeks. We all know how that goes. 

WELL WELL:  Lucky was rescued after several weeks of card play. Unfortunately, GH ran the promo and we knew a fire/explosion was coming. I keep thinking if they had done this over 3 days at a fast pace and we didn't see that coming, it could have been good. 

IT'S HAPPENING. If you're an LL2 fan, better get watching. I can't wait for Lucky to meet his 6' son! 

ACTING CLASS.  These two were gold. Not quite sure what they were saying made a whole lot of sense, but they did it beautifully. AND--if you're keeping score on the BINGO card, Marty lost his accent along the way. 

EYE CANDY: Poor Tracey catches Sasha and Cody on the table. I put this in here because she had a nice talk with Stella in the park and actually came in to apologize. Yep. APOLLO-JiZE!

EWW TO THE DREW: Someone used this photo on Twitter to describe Drew going after Willow in the boathouse. It's perfect. He's become a weird disgusting perv. I actually felt sorry for Willow and that's saying something. I'm hoping Ned cleans his clock. 

NEWS AND NOTES:  As you saw in the post earlier, ATWT actor Van Hansis is joining the cast as NuLucas Jones. It does seem Ryan Carnes was offered but declined the role (it's a contract role and he didn't want that). More doctors coming to GH? Isaiah and Lucas. Maybe we'll get more hospital action. 

KELLY's Last day taping was September 27th according to a post her mother made. That means Sam will be around into October and then....?? Will they kill the character off like rumors say or will she go "missing"?? Many have speculated that she will donate her liver to Lulu but dang. Lulu's been on death watch forever. 

The show will air MONDAY and FRIDAY next week. Baseball will be on Tuesday and Wednesday. If need be, another game will show on Thursday. If not, GH will be back on air. 

PASSAGES: This is WubsNet's friend BuzzWorthy with Drake Hogestyn who was a beloved cast member on Days. I do not watch DOOL but the outpouring of love for this man is amazing. He will be missed. 

That's it! I also think explaining what happened to Kevin and Laura in all this mess will be hilarious. Did they lose their passports? Get trapped at the refugee camp? Did anyone call them to let them know Lucky was found or will they keep searching until Genie's break is up? 

So- this happened

 

That KISS

 

So, I've calmed a 10th of a degree and I need to explain myself. It wasn't the KISS ITSELF that had me all riled up. That was bad yes, but I do think on Jason's part it was due to the fact someone was coming. (Not sure how that works but...whatever). Anna's part though? Her panicked desperation looking for another pick for his lock wasn't an "act". Her 'We are going to die here" wasn't an act. His saying "Calm down" and telling her to stop was right in there. ANNA DEVANE. Upset enough that St. Jaysus of the Morgan is 'helping her through it'. 

NOPE. 

SHE leaned in for a kiss. He was going for it. He looked back, probably heard something and kissed her-- because, it is a distraction? I don't know BUT THE WHOLE SCENE WAS WRONG. 

Watch here:  KISSY UCKY 

This show was on FIRE 3 weeks ago. I was praising it to high heaven. This Lucky comeback is just killin' me. Great actors are all just fumbling around for days in a room playing cards. One room was decorated more nicely but still, it's been a snoozer. They should have absolutely done the Lucky rescue in a 2-3 day arc with nothing else on but maybe Lulu's Coma Bed Visitations. 

That's just my take. You know me, I'm passionate about this show and when I go off the rails, I go off the rails. 

BTW, I should have taped myself during those scenes. I was yelling NO NO NO NO... and my hubs came out of the kitchen and was like: WHAT? YOU OK? He thought something happened in the world that was huge news. 

No, just me...having a bad soap day!!! 

Say Goodbye for A While

 

I honestly wasn't going to watch today. The last 2 days were so draggy that I was just going to skip it. BUT! Luckily I have nothing else to do so....LET'S GO! 

Cody is with James in the barn. They talk about being a family. Then they go riding. 

Tracey is angry that Stella is 5 min late. Stella tells her not to talk to her like that. Tracey talks about the damn brunch they had and how could Cody and Sasha treat her that way when they are employees! HUFF. Stella thinks it all has to do with how she feels about Cody. Tracey figures out that Cody reminds her of Luke. She can't lose anyone else. They talk more and in a weird twist, Stella doesn't mention Irene dying? 

Ned and Drew try to figure out who's taking over now that Valentin is gone. Drew wants Michael, Ned wants himself. They bicker, Then Michael and Willow walk in. Willow goes to the boathouse. Michael and Ned stay and hash out who is going to RUN ELQ. Ned says not to trust Drew. 

Drew leaves and goes after Willow. She tells him to leave, go away. He says he has to check on her. She says NO, GO! He's such a creepy perv!! 

Sasha and Maxie are in the kitchen talking about Lulu. Then all of a sudden James is there, Maxie goes to the car and James tells Ned about Willow saying she was sad she kissed Drew LOL PFffffffft. 

Sid says everyone is going to die. Holly's like, ok, but spare me! He says NOPE, I don't trust you. He makes Anna and Holly leave. Lucky and Jason have to play cards. GOOD LORD .UGH Then Sidwell leaves. Jason tells Lucky they are there to take him home. Then they play, Jason pretends to lose. Lucky steals the keys. Yada yada. 

Anna and Holly are locked in a cell. Anna's afraid she'll be killed and tells Holly to tell Robert that she loves their daughter.  Then Jason is brought in and Holly's taken back out. Sid wants Lucky to keep playing CARDS!!!!!!!!! ughhhhhhhhh

END:
James tells Ned that Willow and Drew kissed and she told Aunty Nina about it

HOLLY GRABS Sid's gun but then he swats it out of her hand. 

AND...THE REASON I'LL BE LEAVING FOR A BIT????????? ANNA AND JASON panic in the cell and KISS. They kissed. I'M OUT.  Maybe I'll explain in Sunday Surgery, maybe not. 

Sam is Kelly Today

 

I'm going to try to last the whole show but it's been a long day already. If it's filler again or all Lucky moaning in a prison, I'm out. 

HERE WE GO: 

Jordan visits Isaiah and gets a phone call about some person. Not sure what's going on. Oh it's only that the headstone is ready. Jordan isn't sure she should handle it? She talks about the grief she's feeling. 

Sonny and Kristina talk about her case. She tells him she went the Qs to kill John Cates. HE says he gets it, she was going through a mental health crisis. She says she's seeing a group and a counselor and he's happy for her. They talk about killing people. He says it marks you. She asks if he's marked. 

Marty and Alexis talk about her case. He says they have to go to trial to implicate Sonny. She says no because Krissy would stop the trial, get all hysterical and confess. TERRIBLE WRITING. WOW. They go round and round. Marty says that it's dumb Kristina is that weak. Alexis is like too bad, we aren't pinning this on Sonny. 

Next thing I know, Jordan is visiting Alexis asking about Irene and Krissy wanting custody LOL WHAAAAT okay. Alexis explains what she was doing with the paperwork and she'd never choose between the two. 

Molly and Marty meet. She knows Sonny hired him. She thinks the only way to get her mom off is to get Sonny found guilty. 

Carly and Sam talk about Alexis case. Sam says she knows Carly and Sonny didn't sleep together and to tell the truth and save her mother. They go into Lulu's room to talk. Sam says she has to tell the truth and Carly's like: Nah, your mom threw that gun off the bridge, let her deal with that. She also says she's too worried about Lulu right now to do anything else. Sam says well, JASON is saving Lulu, not Carly. They argue, In the end, Carly won't change her statement. 

Anna and Jason are in the compound. New clothes on. Casual. Sid wants to know why they are REALLY THERE. Anna says she's into gold. The poker table comes out. She says she can help him move gold through Switzerland. He wants a reference. The reference checks out. He thinks it's all too neat and tidy tho. 

Lucky seems to pick the lock but doesn't leave his cell yet. Puts the knife back in his coat sleeve. Gets dinner and finds out "Fancy Guests" are there so he's going to break out and get a vehicle. He gets out but Holly comes around the corner and says "I'm here to rescue you". 

Then, Sidwell catches Holly and Lucky trying to escape. Yada yada... yelling, explain. Yada yada. 

END: 

Sidwell challenges them to a card game. 
If Jason wins, he and Anna live. If Lucky wins, he and Holly live. If Sidwell wins they ALL DIE! 

A Whole Lotta Lawyers

 

I'm back. What a day yesterday! It's all taken care of and other than being swollen and tired, I'm almost normal. Not that I'm ever normal!! LOL 

Heard yesterday's show had 2 things: looks like Portia can use Brad as a scapegoat for the lab tests and... Steven Lars is living in Sedona! Apparently he got outta jail!! 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Molly brings TJ breakfast at GH. "Where were you last night"? he asks.  She says the Brown Dog and she saw Dex. He says he was in surgery and was sorry he wasn't there. She didn't answer his texts. He says she can always talk to him and he loves her. She's upset about her mother and thinks Kristina killed Cates. Sam thinks Sonny did. Molly has to leave for a meeting. Stella comes in and they decide to visit Irene's grave. 

Dante is taking Kristina home from Alexis. They get to her apartment and talk about Lucky and Lulu. She's freaked out to be home when so much has changed. Chase comes to the door. Wants to ask her some questions. Dante leaves. Chase wants to talk about where Kristina was the night of the murder. HE says her car hasn't left the Metro Court since her accident. Did she drive her mother's car that night? Finally Diane comes because Dante called her. She makes Chase leave.

Jack is at Bobbie's telling Carly the updates from Lucky's rescue. Then Diane comes in. Brennan leaves-- Diane says she has to pretend to be back with Sonny. Live together, pretend to have the hots for each other as the PCPD and FBI are probably watching. Carly gets mad. Diane says she has to.

Natalia is at Sonny's office place. He's mad at a new coffee maker he has. She .says maybe a new model is better. (GET IT?) They talk about the machine a LOT. She knows how to work it. Banter about the coffee maker. *sigh* They giggle and talk. Blaze mention. They hold hands and then Carly walks in. Carly is like I need to talk to you. Natalia leaves. Carly says stop flirting. She can't flirt so  YOU can't.  She said Diane said they have to fall in love again. 

Heather and Alexis in jail. Supposedly hilarious.  Alexis gets a visitor. Her lawyer is there. IT's Marty. He says she was dumb to talk to the police. She says YEP. She hires him so she can tell him the skivvy about why she's doing what she's doing. Says Krissy didn't kill Cates but the jury might think she did. Marty says she has to amend her statement. Then she tells him about the OTHER part--the car and the Q house and Krissy wanting to kill Cates. 

END: 
Diane tells Kristina to get a lawyer

Carly and Sonny are going to be seen out and about together but they won't lie to Donna

Marty tells Alexis the only way she gets off is to prove Sonny killed Cates. 

REAL Monday Surgery

 

So today, I saw my dentist at 9 and then went to the oral surgeon at 11 and here I am to let you know I won't be blogging today. My tooth implant lasted 27 years which is remarkable but now--it's out. OUCH. 

So enjoy the show today-- hope it's not all filler. 

FILLER--FILLINGS--ahahaha. 

Cheers. 

Sunday Surgery: Chopped Liver

 

I chose this photo because I loved it, nothing more! 

I am so disappointed in this show. It was on fire for awhile and now it's like they threw some interns in and it's just a dull mess. No, I'm not going to mince words. The Lucky return is a slow-moving sloggy retread of a story and the editing on the rest of the show made me tear my hair out. 
Rough week for Wubsy! 

Be prepared and grab some grub and coffee ...here we go go ! 

MORE CARDS

 

So, Michael and Ned are arguing about Valentin and it's really weird. Where is he? They have to find him to get ELQ straightened out. Then LOIS says "the boathouse is still a crime scene". I feel like I hit my head and missed an entire show.  Michael says they have to find Valentin. Willow offers to take him out to 'get his mind off things'

Lois tells Ned he has to let go of his hate for Sonny (I don't know how we got there but we did). He's like NOPE! Then GIO walks into the kitchen. Ned says he doesn't like Lois' new accent Inon-accent) and Gio says "that's harsh" and gets in his face. Ned says he knows, the truth is harsh. He leaves the kitchen. Gio and Lois talk about the punk rock show they went to -- and she says Sonny took her to her first one. Gio doesn't know why everyone hates Sonny. He's always been nice to Gio. 

Curtis and Portia are in The Savoy.  Run into Drew and Nina. It's interesting because Portia WAS going to dinner with Trina last I heard. 

Oh# Nina says Drew is UP in the polls.  He was JUST down in the polls and was going to quit!! WTF. Anyway, she thinks he needs to stop working at Aurora and focus on the election. 

Drew talks to Curtis. He wants him to be CEO of Aurora while he's on the voter trail.  Why not Michael asks Curtis. Drew says he has other stuff to do. 

Michael and Willow walk into The Savoy. Willow sees Drew.  She gets upset and goes to leave. Drew stops her.  He says nothing is going on between them and she shouldn't leave. 

Lucky is being dragged into a cell by 2 guys. He imagines Liz is tending to his wounds.  She says he's run away his whole life from his family and he's right up to the edge of his grave.  They talk about why he left, he says he's a coward. Had to go help people. She says come home. 

Sid and Jason play cards, Jason loses. He thinks he cheated, pulls a card from the woman they are sitting next to. He and Sid do a 'playoff" game. Jason wins. 

Holly catches Anna stealing the phone. They banter, yada yada. Anna tells her she's doing what she's doing "for Luke".  Tells her about Lulu. Holly says they'll never get into the compound. Anna says it needs to be an inside job. Some skulky guy is listening.  Anna puts the phone back and tells Jason to keep playing and they may be getting an invite into the camp. Then they PLAY ANOTHER GAME and Sid has to bet some bracelet because he's out of cash. Jason wins. Holly tells Sidwell to invite Anna and Jason back to the camp to get her bracelet back. 

END:
Lucky wakes up, tries to break out with a knife he has

Sid invites Jason and Anna back to the camp but he knows who they are and they will pay! 

MONDAY: No follow up to the Africa stuff.  Unbelievable.
