Sunday Surgery: Samurai Scripting

 

YEP, me with a Migraine after GH 

Well, LAST week I was in LOVE with this show. THIS WEEK? Holy Christmas On A Cracker what in the hell kind of sushi blended mix up bizarro Twilight -Alfred Hitchcock did I walk into?? Seriously. 

BY THE WAY: If you didn't know this: NINA REEVES IS THE WORST and will probably be the reason the stock market crashes soon. 

I'm just going to eat fruit salad bathed in gin for this one.. we are ALL going to need it. 

Let's GO GO 

Should I have knocked on wood after last week's blog? I mean, look, I'm all for SOAPY stuff happening but..this was not that. As you know, I'm old AF and even watched the entire town of Pine Valley get sex-drugged. I've seen hate zex every which way possible. BUT!! Nothing prepared me for this week's GH. 

 Sorry if I sound alarmist, it's just I was watching live and I'm still not right in the head from it! LOL

NINA REEVES IS RADIOACTIVE: PUT on your SHEILDS!!  Let's see. It started with Millow refusing an offer of free champagne from Nina for their anniversary. Why? Because they want NO CONTACT with her--but yet decide to go into The Metro for dinner. Why? Poor spoiled princess Willow wanted to and damn it, she's going to go. Should have ordered take out. Speed up the bashing on Nina when she walks away. 

OMG!! THAT BIT*CH!! Olivia has to go to Carly to complain that Nina not only fired a beloved worker and didn't ask her SHE CHOSE LIKE the WORST COLOR IN THE WORLD for the bathrooms!! Olivia even had the paint chip in her purse to prove it. What?? Um.. Okay, calm down there. 

THE ICE MACHINE IS BROKEN!  CALL a LAWYER!! When Carly brings a wounded Jagger to his suite at The Metro, she goes to get ice for his face and... damn it. The ice machine is not working! Would this EVER HAPPEN under HER watch? Hell no!! She can do anything!!! 

ONE WORD: NINA!  Leave it to Diane to answer a question from Jason about Carly having to "run a diner" (poor girl) and it's all Nina's fault! EVERYTHING is Nina's fault. Poor little match stick Carly, turned into the SEC after just wanting to help her innocent son, shuffled to poverty. She lost Sonny too. (Not to mention she almost married you, Jason--but that's another story)! We also find out that Jason left half his estate to Carly and the other 1/2 to his kids. Wow. Generous. 

THEN THIS HAPPENED: And I cant unsee it. Hate Sex? Um.. hate sex is usually zexy. This was... cringy. I swear a 14 year old horny boy wrote this script. Not only that, sorry, but Cam Mathison is the LAST guy to pull that sort of macho thing off. (in my opinion). Between the stupid "what a boy wants, what a girl does" dialog and the break-away shirt. I sat there with my mouth agape waiting for flies to rush in. LOL ....wait....THEN --Drew says the next day it was "45 minutes" !! and mentions "Rug Burns"!! By now I'm a puddle of crying laughter and just rage at such a 1940s script. Drew wanted to ruin her business AND her looks folks! She begged him to help her *by putting her on the board of Aurora* (??) and he had zex with her and told her he would 'need more". :eyeroll: 

WAS THERE MORE TO THE WEEK?  it's really hard to remember after Tuesday's show. EESH.  

THE AVA CAPER: Another weird AF thing is the entire Ava set up. I really REALLY was hoping she was working with Valentin (under threat of blackmail) to undermine Sonny from the inside.  I mean, she's giving him drinks, trying to isolate him and being all sneaky-pants in his penthouse. BUT..looks like NO? She actually can't sleep and looks for drugs in his bathroom and takes a few. This is the most dumb thing. First, Ava would have a stash of something and second, she didn't even GOOGLE the medicine? And, btw, the medicine she took seems to be made up but ends in a Latin suffix that usually is for muscle relaxants. NOT BI POLAR. But.. I digress. She wasn't tired.. and..? Welp. I'm at a loss here. You know they are going to end up in bed together. Just a matter of time. No wonder they were distancing Nina/Ava with the BFF thing. 

HEE HAW: Why. What. I guess they needed to buy some overalls. I am not into Cody and Sasha in normal times, but the Farmer Jones stuff? Talking about life and mucking the horses? Nope. 

WEDDING STUFF: First we have to have a great big wedding (but not too big)...then! NO!! Dante's in a coma and Greg's ready to collapse so let's have a TINY WEDDING! But wait!! Wait!! Dante woke up....doesn't look like Greg's going to be out for the count so soon so BRING BACK THE BIG WEDDING! And..I'll wear Lila's dress... but there's not enough time to alter it!! YES! There is! BUT!! Wait!! it can't be done because the fabric is too fragile!! OMG at this point Brook can just walk down in her red blazer and I'd be happy. 

THE EGG-FACTOR: Someone pointed out on Twitter that these 2 are eating egg sammys talking about: EGGS basically ahahaha! TJ is now questioning things? Dude!! I get we need angst in all this but I swear Molly/TJ have such few scenes together --and when they do it's all about babies and you know what? I don't care at this point. I do like the Papa and grandson vibe of Marshall and TJ yes (and I know he's not his BIO papa)...but. can we talk about anything else?

Changing characters a bit and having couples/storylines switch is a given with new writers. I just have whip-lash over what I saw on my screen. I will say the longer scenes are appreciated for sure. I will also say that sometimes I don't really know what I'm watching. The Pure Carly worship is maddening!! My goodness. Nails on a chalk-board. Nina's a crying little jelly baby that goes to DREW (?) about Millow not accepting her dinner gift. OH! Willow: I can't deal with nursing--Quartermaine; poised to be a runner of charities "like Lila".  Head spinning.  Someone else on Twitter had this observation: Nina saw Curtis walking and said--nothing? Hmmm. They were such good friends. Now? Who knows. Nina can't have ANY friends. I want Dr. O back to put people in their place. 

Also: Where is Scott? Heather stuff-- Jason's back... Lucy zex...? He's just POOF !! 

Ok, I could keep going but you have lives to live. GH still needs to get it's cast down to a better size and also get the younger set on more. 

CHEERS!!
