Day off

 

I'm sure you're tired of me saying I'm taking a day off but it's gorgeous here and I can't pass it up!!! 

It's just a vicious circle

 

Lulu has a GIANT NEW HOUSE. It looks like the set they used for all the old houses" and Luke's childhood. Dante is there and Laura's like: Oh, well, look at you! Laura leaves and then Dante gives Lulu a vase that Tracey sent along with him. 

Nina and Portia talk about Drew. They say how much of a manipulator he is. (like a cult leader)

Carly talks about Willow to Jason. She's still in the kitchen, now she's chopping veggies. She tells Jason her plans to "hit the ground running" with Diane's getting a custody hearing date so when Michael wakes up he can just do it right away. Jason says that's not a great idea. Carly blabbers and blabbers. 

Tracey talks to Ezra about hating Sonny it's weird. She wants him gone and lose his docks and yada yada. She gives him a check. Laura walks in and sees them. 

Brook and Chase tell Lois they want to adopt a kid and through the same agency she used to place her baby. Ned walks out. 

Ok, I needed to turn this off. Carly was INSUFFERABLE-- and... it's just around and around with this custody stuff and... nope, it's too nice out!! Sorry! The ONLY interesting thing is maybe Ned finding out about Gio but that's probably not going to happen today. 

Just a TALKING DAY--talk talk

 

Today is sunny and I'm tired from the 2 year olds. Tired from life lately but here we are, going into GH time!! 

Nina and Carly talk about Drew and Willow. A lot. IT'S A PAIN. Carly thinks Nina isn't all in for breaking them up. Nina thinks Carly's mouth will bring them closer together. They argue some more. Nina tells her not to bring up Nelle again. Carly agrees. They keep yapping and talking about how to break them up. 

Willow goes to Jason for help. She wants him to tell Carly to leave her kids alone and not take them away from her. Jason tells her only she can help herself. He tells her to go to Germany. She agrees. 

Curtis and Trina have coffee and talk about Kai's operation. Like, a LOT. I mean, it's painfully boring. 

Kai is at Drew's talking about the operation, he wants to do it. Drew is so happy. Wants to call the surgeon right away. He does. Then he tells Kai he wants him to do a documentary on his surgery with some film maker. Kai says ok.  

Kai and Trina are in the park, TALKING ABOUT THE SURGERY. He does say his parents are out of the country so they won't be there. 

Portia gets a notice that GH will have a 'guest surgeon' next week, it's Kai's surgeon. She's a bit concerned. She goes to Drew and asks him how he'll feel if Drew ends up in a wheelchair after this.  He says he'd feel badly. Then threatens Portia with telling everyone about her changing Heather's results. Then Curtis comes in. They alllllllllllllllllllllll talk about the SURGERY. 

Ava sees Ric. She has on a new fur coat and says "she's back"! She's buying a new car too. Ric is like: Um, what? She bought him a watch. He says no, they have to all go back. HE says they'll have to set up an offshore account and launder the money thru her Gallery. She agrees. She decides to get on the bed with him because money advice makes her horny. 

Diane and Alexis talk about Kristina and having her committed. They go around and around. All the same arguments. Alexis finally tells Diane to shred the papers and leaves. Diane doesn't shred them however and puts them in a folder.

Alexis goes to see Ric. He lets her know that her lunatic daughter tried to kill Ava but got him and Liz instead. They argue and he says Molly should know the truth about her sister. Alexis is not happy. 

Krissy goes to Liz' house and tells Lucky that the guilt is eating at her. She's having nightmares and yada yada and sweating at night. She can't TAKE IT!! Lucky says she'd hate jail. He says just make reparations now and forget the vendetta against Ava. 

Carly calls Diane to her kitchen to talk about Willow and Michael's custody case. Diane looks like she has a headache. 

END: 

Carly wants a custody date for a hearing and she's not telling anyone, not even Nina

Ric is loving the fact that Alexis has to embezzle money from a child to keep him and Ava happy 

Kristina is going to drop her Ava revenge plot

Sidwell and Pope Interruption

 

Hope you had a good Easter-- we had a rain free day yesterday which is UNUSUAL lately so I was happy for that!! Today? NOT So MUCH!! Thunder EVEN! 

Carly says she's coming to LA with Sonny. They'll say they are looking for a doctor to treat Michael when he gets home. They go on and on around this. Then the Pope news interrupted. 

Sidwell calls Alexis and tells her to hire his son. She hangs up on him. He comes into her office. "Suzanne" the receptionist, is from The Middle and played a psychic on GH before. Sidwell says that Alexis should really hire his son. She's like: NOPE.

Marco and Lucas talk in the Monica Q atrium. Marco tells him his mother and he fell out during HS, she didn't want a gay son so he got close to his Dad. Lucas wants to know if he knew he lived there. He says no. Then they talk until Natalia calls Marco. 

Outside, Isaiah is sad that Jordan won't see him anymore. He says it's DANGEROUS TO GO AFTER Sidwell ALL ALONE! DANGER DANGER! She says too bad and they part ways. Anna comes in and Jordan tells her she's undercover and Laura knows. Geesh, she's just telling everyone! 

Maxie asks Anna how bad Sidwell really is. Anna says bad but he's trying to launder his reputation through Deception so they should be ok. She leaves. Lucy runs in and says Natalia is Sidwell's Ex. Brook and Maxie both say: JASON TOLD US. They decide to ask Sonny about keeping Natalia or not. Natalia is in the room when I get back to the show. She's pleading her case. She hasn't seen him for decades. WHY didn't you tell us though? Then Sonny walks in and they fire her. 

Jason finds out Sasha took money from Sidwell. She's like: Well, it was because of my mother that's all. He says well he tried to kill you. She's like: HE was PROVOKED! Then I missed the rest and he was at Carly's trying to tell her why he didn't tell her about Sonny's heart condition. Jason is happy that Carly is going to LA with him. 

Emma is IN the dumpster and Joss finds her. Helps her out. They talk about school and Emma thought Joss was cool and fearless and Joss thought Emma had it "all figured out". Emma is suspicious on how Joss got into the class when there was a huge waitlist. 

END: 

Natalia is really mad at Sonny 

that's about it. Boring show. 

POPE NEWS INTERRUPTION 1/2 WAY THROUGH. So I missed a bit. 

Sunday Surgery: Oh Gee

 

Say today's title backwards and .... you have... the longest reveal in the history of reveals. Well, not exactly because there have been others that have taken years but this sure seems like decades! 

ANOTHER week I didn't watch all the shows. So, sit tight and let's see what I come up with!! 

HOPPY EASTER to those that celebrate-- I'm an Easter Bunny Gal myself! 

Today! I'm HERE!

 

Yep, I'm back for today. I did watch yesterday's show-- and was underwhelmed except for the horse. You know I like the horses. LOL. 

Donna tells Carly "Daddy's not goin' to Rocco's debate"--cripes this debate is a HUGE DEAL geesh. Donna leaves to get ready for school and Carly asks if he's not going because of Laura. He tells her about Rocco asking him not to. She says aww, that's too bad. She says if he cares about Laura he should stay out of this whole referendum thing. HE says what's his is his and he can't appear weak. Tells her about his heart problem and all the people that know.

Emma is doing community service at GH with Felicia.

Joss gets her ankle checked by Isaiah and he's like: you've been on this too much, what's happening? She says it's just from going to Easter Island and hiking. He recommends 6 weeks PT. Joss then runs into Emma in the hall who's a mess from the art therapy class. The kids painted her. Joss asks about the community service. Emma tells her she has priors and Joss is surprised. Emma says she didn't have a rich daddy to bail her out. meow. 

Joss follows the professor from PCU to the hall and lab. He has a silver briefcase and goes into the lab. She listens at the door. He comes out without the briefcase and she follows him back down the hall. 

Felicia talks to Anna about the Espalaneiueriu thingy and that MAC is so concerned and yada yada. Anna says the ADA also has something against her so if Laura is gone, she might lose her job. The ADA says she favors Jason. Felicia says "you do". Anna tries to defend herself. 

Lucy tells Maxie and Brook the night cream is flying off the shelves and sales are great. Lucy leaves. Then Jason comes in to tell Maxie and Brook that Natalia has been lying to them for months. Her ex-husband is Sidwell. Brook and Maxie are mad. Maxie says they aren't working with Sidwell no matter what Sasha says. Jason's like: UM, SASHA? WHAT DID SHE SAY? Maxie says she over played the kidnapping and he's an ok guy. Jason basically runs out of there. 

Jordan is at Wyndemere with Sidwell talking about her job offer. He's basically hiring her because of who she knows. She says there's no way she's getting "close" to Drew Cain. She's going to take the contract to her lawyer. Lucy pops in and is surprised to see Jordan there. They banter. Jordan leaves. Then Sidwell lets drop that Natalia is his ex. Lucy is shocked. SHOCKED! Nat walks in and Lucy lets her have it. She leaves. Nat is mad at Sidwell for telling. 

Jason and Sasha are watching her ultrasound. He's all smiles. Wants to send Michael a photo and she's like: UM I'll think about it. Jason thinks it will help him recover.  Later, Sasha goes to the Qs and Olivia tells her she can live there while she's on maternity leave. "you're just like family".  Tells her about the Q lore. 

Maxie and Brook call Anna about Sidwell and want dirt on him to get out of the contract. Anna says that might not be a good idea. 

Jordan tells Isaiah she's working for Sidwell and he's not happy. 

Sidwell gets Natalia to tell him about Sonny's heart problem. 

Emma is throwing something away in the dumpster and I think the briefcase is in there. 

Carly says she's going to LA with Sonny for his operation.

Thursday

 

Today Is DRAG Day!!

TODAY I am out galavanting in a charming little town on the PA border. Don't envy me too much because it's GOING TO BE SNOWING THERE tomorrow and raining today. UGH I pick the worst weather! 

Let's talk about: Dropped Stories and or Dragging Stories!! 

NUMBER ONE : Geo DNA.  I mean, come on. You went through ALL THAT and still no one knows it's Gio that is Brook and Dante's kid? Well, unless you count Lois and Grandma. It was a bit shocking at first to find out but by now it's just a DRAGGING BORE. By the time they find out he'll be 40 with his own kids.

NUMBER TWO, THREE and FOUR:  Deaths of Franco, Cyrus and Jagger.  I guess we are to assume that Cyrus killed Franco right?? We know Joss killed Cyrus but the whole thing just became a nothing burger to get her into the WSB. Lastly, of COURSE Sonny gets off from putting slugs into an FBI agent and no one follows up. :eyeroll: 

GH is also famous for starting something like Lucas and Marco and then leaving it FOR WEEKS. 

Where is Spinelli? Why is Maxie only on once in a blue moon? 

Will they mention Monica again before...well, you know. 

Cody has NOTHING to do. 

Sasha's baby better get here soon. 

LEO: what a great character and authentic actor. I know child actors don't work like they used to but GEESH!! He's evaporated. 

WHAT DO YOU HAVE that's bugging you!!? 

Uses this post for comments on Weds. show

Hell's Belles REPORT!!

 I'll be out today for my Spring Break--- so please feel free to use this shell to comment !!

When I'm back from Vacation, I'm going to do a whole thing on our group and find all my old fan things from that time. Get Ready for All Things Helena!

Monday BoreStore

 

It's spring break week this week. I'll be out tomorrow so look for some fun filler and Sonya's recap. It's supposed to SNOW where I'm going on Wed--and this place is only 2 hours away and FML. 

Sonny and Laura meet and she tells him he might still lose his waterfront property. She wants to put it to a vote with the people of PC. Sonny says he disagrees. He won't let anyone TAKE HIS PROPERTY. Then the door opens and it's Rocco. He has to practice for his debate. Laura invites Sonny to stay and hear him. 

Alexis goes home and hasn't signed the papers yet but "will, tonight". Opens the door and Kristina is there. They want to have a Davis Girls Night-- and Molly is there too. They are going to watch a movie. They put their phones in a basket.  Molly says how much she's missed Kristina and is glad they are closer again. Kristina says she's learned to let go of her anger and need for revenge and all that stuff. Molly is proud of her, she's making so much progress.

Portia and Trina insist on talking about Boring Kai's boring operation. Yada yada, FOOTBALL... move on with his life...yada. Trina cares about him and it scares her. 

Ava tells Ric she told Alexis to meet her demands. She's so happy she'll get some money soon. 

Drew and Willow continue moving into the house. They bitch about Carly. Nina is still there, watching the kids (upstairs). Then Kai is at the door. Drew sends him away lol. Then Nina and Willow bitch more and more about Carly. Then Nina leaves. Then Drew and Willow bitch more about Carly. Then Drew says if anything happens to Willow, he'll take care of the kids and has papers for her to sign. 

Meanwhile, Carly goes to Brennan and bitches about Drillow.  On and on and tells him the whole thing. He says it sounds ok and happy she didn't really hit Willow. He says to wait until they do something drastic and lower the boom. 

Later, Kai goes to see Portia and She tells him she can't recommend the operation. 

END: 

Sonny agrees with Laura about the vote

Willow signs papers to make Drew the kids' guardian

Alexis shoves the commitment papers back into her briefcase because her girls are so happy. 

Sunday Surgery: One Day

 

That's right!! Surgery will be focused on one day last week: Friday. That's the only one I watched!! I admit it --I didn't want to go back and slog through the shows so I read some summaries and just tuned in Friday. So... you might want to fill in your own blanks or skip it all together. Feel Free !! 

I found some great spice stuff for the top of my coffee. It's from a bakery in Ithaca. YUM. Now you know!! 

Let's GO GO!!

Friday answers and I'm Back!

SO TV INSIDER SAYS:  NEW CHARACTER coming to GH: A mysterious Professor. :eyeroll: He's Daniel Goddard and I think you know him from other soaps. I'm SO DONE with new characters. SO SO DONE. There, that's my take.

ON TO TODAY: 

DAVID was kind enough to have that great post yesterday about actors and their shows! Here are the answers 

Rick Springfield - Hot In Cleveland

James Patrick Stuart - Frasier

Blake Gibbons - Modern Family

Julie Berman - Two and a Half Men

Kelly Monaco - Baby Dady

Rebecca Herbst - Boy Meets Boy / Step By Step

Sonja Eddy - Mom / 2 Broke Girls

Leslie Charleston - Happy Days

Vernee Johnson - Big Bang Theory and Absolutely Everything Else

NOTE: I'm going in blind today--I'm not going to watch any shows prior to today because I don't really want to or care to. Isn't that awful?? It's just been a long week and I've read all the summaries and I'm good.

TODAY'S SHOW:

Joss's assignment is going to be getting into a professor's class and learning about him (See above). So that's Daniel Goddard's part. She says it should be easy. She has to be his research assistant.

Anna talks to Emma about her WSB involvement and having to sign the NDA. She got her files and Emma was charged with Trespassing, assault and a bunch of other bad stuff. (I bet it has to do with that professor). Emma says they had the party to throw off security and snuck into the labs. The animals were bad off. Then security came, she ran and accidently hit the guy with something. To avoid charges, she signed the NDA about the lab tests. Anna is upset. Emma says she is like her Grandmother, fights for the causes she believes in, even if it crosses the line of the law. 

Carly LAYS into WILLOW lol.. big time. Willow throws things back at Carly. Drew reminds Carly she's gotten with multiple family members so, lay off. Carly still says that Michael has a say about his kids--especially Wylie because he's not Willow's (OOOOOOO!) Willow says she loves Drew. Nina comes downstairs from settling the kids. Carly is like: Ohh, Willow Loooooves Drew. Then says Willow is using Michael's burned body as a bargaining chip. !! Then she says I'd never keep my kids from their father and Drew says: AJ MIGHT DISAGREE!! Nina's just looking ill. She texts Jason to get over there.  Drew says Michael better heal up and get back there to fight his own battles, not his mommy. They keep yelling. Carly tells Willow she's "Just like Nelle" AHAHAHA. It gets worse and Carly goes to hit Willow but Jason stops her. Willow smiles at her. OMG great scenes. You can tell they had a blast making it. Jason finally takes her out but Carly says she's going to make sure Willow never sees her kids again. 

Curtis looks resplendent in his blue suit! He says they are going to make Laura change the esplanande thing to Sonny's docks or they'll go to the press about their friendship. Portia says this is all Drew's fault. Later she asks Brad to come in. "I had more fun when I was blackmailing you" she says it's her turn now. She needs ALL the files on Drew Cain, even when he was Jake Doe and he first came to GH. She's looking for medical information. 

Sasha says she's going to move out of the Q house, Jason wants her to stay. He says it's a great house and the kids love it. She likes a big family. Nina texts Jason to go to Drew's. Danny comes in and tried to make cake pops for Scout and failed. Sasha is going to help him do them. 

Alexis hires Diane to be her lawyer because she's going to tell her about Krissy and the car crash. She tells Diane Krissy cut the brake lines and tried to kill Ava but got Ric and Elizabeth hurt instead. Diane says she'll face 3 counts of attempted murder. Alexis says there's no way out. Diane says she has to have Kristina committed. AHHAHAHA. Good scenes with Diane explaining things but also pointing out that Alexis always cleans up Krissy's messes and it's about time she got some help. Alexis isn't sure...Diane also says Sonny will probably think it's a good plan too. 

Kai wants to get the surgery and Trina is scared for him. She matches the surf shop decor. He tells her Football is his life and he's doing it and yada yada. Trina gets up and leaves to do something. Later, Curtis comes in and Kai tells him he's getting the operation. Curtis warns him about Drew. 

END:

Alexis tells Diane to draw up the papers to have Kristina committed

Carly tells Jason she'll fight for Michael's kids, Willow says SHE'LL fight for her kids

Drew warns Kai AGAIN about DREW

decent show today

Thursday

 

Watching old TV shows, it is really common to see a GH cast member guest starring on a sitcom. Here are 9 previous and current GH stars. Match them to the sitcom below that they guest starred on.

Some might have been on more than one of the sitcoms listed. And there is one who had literally been in every sitcom ever aired (I'm not joking). 

It's only a game. Have fun! 

 

Hot In Cleveland

Frasier

Modern Family

Two and a Half Men

Baby Daddy

Boy Meets World and Step By Step

Mom and 2 Broke Girls

Happy Days

Big Bang Theory (and many many many others!)

As usual, this is the blog for today's show. Post your comments here.

Yesterday's Answer: Feb 26, 2017

It's no secret that they will incorporate Leslie's death into the storyline eventually. I have been looking over videos and images for a future tribute blog and I came across this one. It's a really good compilation of Monica and Alan and the boys. It is definitely worth a look. There is a part 2 online. 

(The brilliant David Lewis and the exquisite Anna Lee are included)

As always, this is the blog for today where you should add your comments.

Tuesday

 

Karen is going to be out for 3 days. So, it is up to me to come up with filler. As many of you know, today's blog will also double as a place for comments on today's show. 

Below is a Sunday Surgery from Karen from yesteryear. The game for today is for you to guess what YEAR the Sunday Surgery was written based on the content. No prizes given, but I will give the answer tomorrow. (You would think how bitchy Karen was with this blog it was written today!)

Sunday Surgery: A Bridge Too Far 

WELP. Here we are-- what has the Olivia Jerome story boiled down to? A damsel in distress laying at the bottom of a ravine, waiting for her hero to arrive.

I'm back for this week anyway--and I'm not holding back!! So let's go . Breakfast needs to be hearty because it might be awhile. 

(this was last week's photo)

So-- let's go story by story. I'm going to start with a promising one: The Nurses' Strike. It had legs-- was fun for 2 days, then...??? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. This is so maddening and so GH's M.O. They have the actors come in for a day, shoot a few scenes...then? I guess we surmise what's happening off camera.  Glad that the Qs are involved. Glad it could have the Ned/Olivia connection and engagement even tho they won't be on again for awhile. Hard to get any investment with that. 

Julian's "Goodbye Tour".  Julian wanders around town to hand deliver notes/messages because he thinks he might be killed. You know what I would have liked? Maybe an old-school type sting on Olivia where he enlists people in this plane. Not this whiny, weird ramble that isolates everyone. 

The villain in the room: Olivia Jerome. Yet again, I was anticipating a great story arc. What did I get?? Long, drawn out, full of holes and....boring. I just NEED to really bitch about this. Tonja Walker had such a history on the show. If they would have had Olivia just blow into town under the guise of the GH buy-out, she could have been ALL over the canvas! But? Nope...show her hands for a month-- lock her in a room with some nobody goon and then do a predictable "revenge" plot story.  Did you see what happened when Anna ran into her? This is someone she had history with (we saw real flashbacks) and.....she didn't recognize her because of the cancer scare.  Really? Hey-- and get this. Maura West and Tonja Walker have had ZERO --you heard it--ZERO scenes together so far.  That right there is a crime. First or second day in they should have had Julian introduce the two and let the fur fly. Ava posturing for her place in the family upon finding out she had a devious older sister that wasn't really dead. Why do that when you can spend time on framing Ava for the car bombing and then sticking her in jail? Ava's been in jail four time since being on the show. SNORE. 

One thing that was done ok ..(and just ok) was having Olivia be Alexis' 'sponsor' for AA.  It got them in scenes together.  I'm still waiting to see how all of this will 'redeem' Julian because it seems that's the direction they are going.  

This brings us to the bridge scene. Could there have been a more formulaic device?  UGH. Not only that Sam's pregnant. We could have told you she wouldn't just have that baby normal-style. Something was bound to happen. Falling in a well, trapped in a cabin, yada yada. This time it's down a ravine after fighting for a gun on a bridge. She'll lay down there talking to herself for awhile until she's rescued.  Wasn't she just laying at the bottom of Liz's stairs doing the same damn thing??? *sigh* . 

Hammy Finn is an addict story. We all thought he was an addict when he first came on and was injecting himself with giant ass'd needles.  It took eons to find out he was really dying of some weird disease, find the cure, give it to Hayden --and now? HE'S ADDICTED. So, ??? How is this entertaining. We saw Finn inject, pass out and cover up for months. We are seeing it all over again. Hayden confronted him but that's one scene. I was honestly having a better time watching Brad try to get money for the discovery than this stuff.  

I have no idea what they are doing with Griffin. I have no interest in Curtis and Jordan because although they have chemistry, they are isolated and have 2 on 2 scenes together where they talk about the same stuff they've talked about since he came on the show. They don't even bother to mention TJ anymore. Kiki and Dillon are boring me to no end-- there's just no strife there. No reason for me to root for them.  

Speaking of boring...here's another story that was written so poorly that I really don't care what happens. It could have been epic. Another example of taking way too long with too many gaps and just plain dull plots. The character of Nelle is just so blah-- she's not vixen enough to be a sizzler, she's not angelic enough to be the good/evil girl and she's so one note it hurts to watch sometimes. Even the bathtub scene lacked any kind of sexual tension.  She legit could have stood up stark naked in front of Michael and I'd be all...meh. The pacing is so off that there's no anticipation/excitement about the Sonny "affair".  They didn't really even sleep together (we know that fact will come out) so..???? Carly and Sonny will break up again for a hot minute until the truth comes out and they make up.  One saving grace? Bobbie and Felicia. At least I can find a sliver of silver lining! 

Anna's cancer. I was really intrigued and enjoying the whole Valentin back story until they turned that into such a boring drawn out mess, unless they step it up it will just be another bore.  Now Anna has this rare blood disease. Let's start something else!! You know I love the fact that Robin came back for it. The story at least got us that. 

SCENE OF THE WEEK: Yeah! So happy they wrote KM's real life pregnancy in! So glad Robin comes to visit now and again.  This made me smile.

WEIRD MOMENT OF THE WEEK:  Sniffing of the water jug. 

FLASHBACK OF THE WEEK:  Robin sees Olivia St. John. Talks about Cheryl (Lucas' bio mom). This is what legends get you. If they're not recast that is...

COMEDY DUO OF THE WEEK: Curtis and Jason and the empty tomb. Stephen King Jokes? Squeemish tough-guy! Hilarity ensues!! 

So, that's the week that was. GH is filled with flipflop and fast scenes. I started timing them. I really did. The average so far is ....29 seconds. I'm going to do it again next week and see what I come up with. Start to notice how short every scene is. Maddening. 

Monday Madness!!

                                            

So much happened--I got NO sleep, up and in by 8am and it was just a crazy day. As you know, I'm off Mon-Thursday. 

Please enjoy this post to use for your own amusement and let me know what happened to today's show. 

Sunday Surgery: Hells A Poppin'

 

CAUTION/WARNING PG 13 WHATEVER:  This blog will be brutal and my commentary not for the faint of heart. You know when I love the show, I gush..and when things are going south, I'm going to tell it straight. 
So, you have the choice to stay or GO-GO.

PS Hells A Poppin' was my name on Soap Zone years ago. If you were there, you know what kind of a place it was!! I decided to name the blog after my old self today because I'm going to be as candid as I was there, here. 

Giddy Up!! 

Thank GAWD this week is almost OVER

 

Just wow. Half the people are freaking out and the other half seem to be oblivious. Must be my age. I don't even know. I really hope this show today can take my mind off things. 

I didn't watch yesterday's show, just looked at the summary. Didn't miss much, right? 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Joss tells Brennan Vaughn got a package from some chick yesterday and thinks he's on the take. She flashes back to him dropping the plate and the package and yada yada/ That's the old garage set btw. They try to get her to back off her story. Such an obvious test. She won't back down and Brennan finds a chip in Vaughn's pocket. Yeah, it was a test and she passed. She's going out to the field next. 

Lucy tells Jordan Laura said she'd help with the Nurses Ball. Jordan has to call everyone and convince them to perform. 

Deanna takes care of Liz, says no change in Ric. Lucky walks in and has a bag of Liz' things. She talks about how hard it is to be off her feet for 3-6 months. She wants to go home but realizes that a rehab center might be best. 

Ric is still unconscious. Ava is standing outside his room. She finally goes in and holds his hand and wants him to wake up. He does and asks about Liz. Ava says she's ok. He wonders if they got hit. She says no he lost control of the car. Then he remembers the brakes failed. Molly runs in and Ava leaves. Alexis tells her to stay away from Ric or she'll get a restraining order. Ava's like: stuff it. 

Kristina is hysterical in the chapel praying to poor God to help Ric. Alexis and Molly walk in. Molly tells Krissy she's been a great sister through all of this. 

Later, Kristina needs "air" and leaves. Lucky gets a text from her saying she needs to see him now. 

Jason goes to see Carly and give her a tax doc from the Metro Court sale. They are so sad they aren't BFFs right now. She doesn't want to give up BRENNAN because someone is telling her to. This is so high school. He says he'd take a bullet for her, can't lose her like he lost Sam. She says she hasn't felt this alive in a long time. :giggle: He agrees to back off of the relationship because of what their friendship means to him. They are so important to each other! 

Kai is telling Trina about the operation that Drew wants him to have. She's suspicious they argue. He wants it, she thinks no. Then they have really bland dialog about the whole thing. They end up kissing. Lucy interrupts to ask if they'll perform at The Ball. 

Curtis and Drew are arguing about Kai having the operation. Drew for it, Curtis against. They get into it over the CEO stuff and Curtis and Willow and Michael and and. Then Jordan comes in and asks if they are participating in the Nurses Ball. They say yes

Ava goes to the garage where her car is. She wants the guy to check it over before it goes to the compactor. Make sure nothing was tampered with. 

END:
Mechanic tells Ava her brakes were cut

Ric remembers seeing Kristina in the mist at the accident

Josslyn returns home

Brennan tells Vaughn he's Joss' back up. 

Maybe OFF Today!!

 

COOL behind the scenes picture posted by GH on Twitter!! (Yes, I still call it that!) 

I am subbing today with the 2 year olds. It's just exhausting lol... I don't think I'll make it in time to watch live. So here you go. Also, next week I'm in FOUR DAYS in a row all day. Yikes. Hopefully I'll watch later and then get a blog up the next day. PLUS, David and Sonya will help!

Have a good one. 

PS our weather was CRAZY last night!! Just so windy and ice rain, then snow, then sleet then pounding rain!! 

Lunch

 

I'm going to have SO MUCH to say about yesterday's show and I'll wait until Sunday. Yes, I would have written it differently. 

Ok, I guess we are back to "regular programming" today...so let's see what happens!! 

OMG So, Jason doesn't want to see Liz when he goes to GH but wants to talk to Lucas about Carly and Brennan. He says SHE'S IN DANGER! REAL DANGER! What can we do!! Lucas says she didn't come home last night. Jason's like OMG they slept together !!

Carly and Brennan wake up together in bed. I didn't even know they were doing it 'yesterday'. Kissing, and junk.

Laura and Sonny are having breakfast and Ezra comes in and says that its' the "Mayor and the Mayor behind the scenes. " Calls Sonny a mob boss. Ezra finally leaves. Sonny agrees that maybe it would be good if they weren't seen together to often. Then Laura figures out Sonny doesn't know about the accident and that Ric is in the hospital. He doesn't really care. Asks about Liz. Laura says her leg is broken. 

Then Carly and Brennan come into the restaurant giggling. 

Deception meeting: Brook, LaRue, Tracey, Maxie, Lucy talking about Sidwell and the Zinc stuff. Maxie says that Sasha already said that Sidwell wasn't that bad.  They decide to buy the Zinc and leave for Spoon Island. Tracey is staying behind. 

Sasha goes to see Sidwell at Wyndemere and wants a guarantee that he's not going to screw over her friends. She says she has friends that can handle him. Leaves. All the ladies show up and they have champagne. Maxie has to leave to go to GH for routine bloodwork. 

Oh yeah, Emma's in court. Anna tries to talk to the ADA about going easy on her and it was a non-violent protest yada yada. The ADA says she was arrested at the University and it was bad enough for her records to be sealed. 
I have no idea. Then Tracey and Sasha come. Tracy hired her lawyer. Emma pleads not guilty. The ADA says no bail because she is a repeat offender and might leave town. 

Gio is upset that Emma has a record an still chained herself to the crypt. She says whatever, she's been in trouble before. It was better he didn't do it. 

Diane interviews Marco from Miami for a new position at her law firm. She likes him but Alexis has to meet him. He sees a photo of Lucas on Alexis' desk. 

Diane and Jason talk about Jason's will. She knows that Michael is the father I guess ? And Jason says he's not telling Sonny or Carly about it. 

OK, I HAVE TO LEAVE: It's 2:45 and I'm sure I'll catch it later. Weird, strange show today

April Anniversary!

 

We all know today is GH's anniversary!! Can't wait to see how they celebrate it. 62 years! 

HERE WE GO! 

This is obviously a stand-alone episode BTW. If I were you, I'd watch on Hulu with no commercials. Very choppy and a LOT of commercials today, I swear. 

Alexis and Curtis were at an AA meeting together. They talk about GH being a good place. 

Donna is there for a shot, she did well and has a sucker. Felica, Carly and her go to say "hello to Aunt Bobbie's photo" . Felicia says nursing was Bobbie's calling. 

Laura is dedicating the new cardiac wing today-- Sonny is with her. Tracey gets off the elevator she says Monica  is too ill to attend. She can't be around many people. Laura's sad but understands. She says her mother had great admiration for Monica. 

Portia and Terry come down to join everyone. Anna and Mac are there. Anna had an infusion for her blood thing (they remembered!!) and he wants to take her home so she doesn't have to Uber. 

Tracey is at the memorial wall, Stella comes along and calls her a softie at heart. They talk about Monica not being able to make it. 

Maxie brings packages to give all the nurses. Deanna and Amy pass them out. They get all sorts of goodies. Felicia and Stella want one too.

Lucy is at Wyndemere talking to Sidwell about the Nurses Balls over the years and they show a flashback of her gowns. He says it's a worthy cause. Lucy talks about AIDS/HIV and the toll it took. Anyway, he agrees to underwrite the ENTIRE BALL this year. ALL of it. 

Sonny is the  donor to the wing. He left his name off because Monica doesn't like him and he wanted to honor just her. :EYEROLL: Alexis has a scene with him and said she saw the paperwork on her desk. He's such a hero and good person. 

Ned and Tracey's talk is wonderful. Good stuff, they talk about their history and Alan and Monica. 

Carly and Sonny talk about the hospital in the chapel. About the memories and yada yada. 

They do the dedication and then Lucy runs in at the end to say Jenz is the sole person for the Nurses Ball. 

ugh

Today was a big let-down. Very dry and just boring...I can't even explain it. No warmth or charm. Just very disconnected. NO FLASHBACKS except Lucy's dresses. 

Live Stream

 

It will be an interesting day because of the accident and then we will have the Monica dedication!!! 

Drew tells Boyle to get the crypt bulldozed NOW! Hangs up phone. Then Kai leaves just as Alexis walks in. He has to talk to her about Scout. He tells her Willow is moving in and her kids. Alexis says that it's not a good idea. He says: Sorry! not even asking your permission, it's happening! Alexis gets a call from the ER to get down there.

Anna arrests Emma at the crypt but won't arrest Tracey "you're on your own, that's her property". Ezra tells the Trooper to do it. Trina is still live streaming.  Yuri is standing with Tracey. The cops arrest Yuri and pick Tracey up who's in the lotus position sitting lol. Then she mugs for the camera. Diane comes with a cease and desist from Monica and is Tracey's lawyer.  Monica called the Land Trust and gave them some of the lake property in exchange for the crypt land. "Next time, ask her first" Diane says to Tracey. Tracey and Gio go to get Emma out of jail. 

Anna lectures Emma about protesting and how she went about it. Emma says she's going to do good in the world. Emma thinks that Anna's lost her way and how to help others. Anna says that things have to be done inside the law. (um, like she does that). Emma finally says she was there mainly for 'her mother'.  Robin told her Edward saved her life with the last dose of the virus thing. Then she says that Robin loved Alan and he stood by her when she had HIV. She can't let them be moved. Good scene. They hug at the end.  Mac comes in and has to talk to Anna out in the hall. He has a folder with him. 

Kristina is at the accident scene. She sees that it's Ric behind the wheel. Lucky comes up She says: it's supposed to be AVA! I saw the parking sign! IT was her parking spot and I cut the brakes. Lucky tells her to shut up and go back to Charlie's and pretend she was in the back doing inventory all day. Then Lucky sees Liz being brought out. She's unconscious. 

Ric and Liz at GH. Ric needs surgery. Lucky wants to be with Liz. Isaiah says no and makes him go out to the hallway. 

Molly is at Charlie's looking for her sister. Bartender guy says she's not there. Cody comes over. They talk and she says thank you for getting Ric to apologize to her mom. She gives him her card for the 'next time he's in trouble". Mac Daddy walks in! He and Cody go talk.

Kristina walks out from the back and tells Molly she was so BUSY DOING inventory. Molly asks if she can help and she says no. Molly also asks if she can just hang. Kristina says: SURE. Molly gets the call that Ric is in GH and rushes out with Cody and Krissy. Mac says "keep me posted".

BACK AT GH: Molly, Cody and Krissy arrive. Lucky tells them Liz was in the car too. Kristina's face falls. She calls Alexis to come to the hospital and she's crying.  Alexis gets there and Ava does too. Molly and Krissy glare at her and so does Lucky. Alexis tells her to leave because she upsets her girls because of the baby. Ava leaves. Lucas comes out and asks Molly to sit while they give her Ric's prognosis. 

Isaiah tells Lucky Liz needs to have her broken leg set when she wakes up. She's being transferred upstairs. 

Sonny and Jason are still holding the guy at gunpoint. He tries to escape and Jason fights him and he falls and hits his head. It was pretty funny. The guy is dead --that was a fail. They are taking his phone and computer to try to find information. Then they are back on the plane and talking about how PEOPLE ARE GONNA PAY. OMG what a waste of time. 

MISTAKE: So people on BlueSky caught the fact that on Friday, Kai had left Drew's office. Today? He's still sitting there when Alexis gets in! ahahaha. I didn't even remember. 

END: 

Emma has a bunch of prior arrests 

Ric is being taken into surgery and they'll do all they can to save him

Lucky tells Liz he loves her and she wakes up

Drew finds out Monica stopped the whole crypt thing and he has to use the name "Cain" again. 

TOMORROW IS THE DEDICATION OF THE MONICA WING ....

Sunday Surgery: Grave Danger

 

GH again had some great scenes and one stellar day. Then it just dissolves into playing narrative catch-up and filling our time with useless scenes. I keep going back to the fact that if this was a 30 minute show all the fluff would be cut and the action would happen at a better pace. BUT!! That's me. 

I just found "cold foam' for my coffee and dang! No more spending too much money on take out coffees anymore!! Grab what you got and let's go! 

2 Martini Day

 

We made it to Friday and I didn't miss a DANG DAY!! woot!! It's been an up and down week with a lot of filler so far. Here's hoping today is a good one! 

MONICA MENTION by Liz to Tracey. She wonders how she's doing. Tracey says 'it's a good day". She tells Liz about the Crypt stuff. Yuri calls Tracey to get home.

They are tearing down the crypt. Trina comes out and so do Gio and Emma.  Boyle is there. They tell him he has to serve Monica before he can tear it down. The trooper gives the paper to Yuri and he's not even an owner. Then Trina live streams all this. Gio brings up the fact it's a public health issue to dig people up (true). Then Emma chains herself to the crypt ahahahhaa. Tracey gets there and is yelling at Boyle. Emma says she swallowed the key. Trina is still streaming. Tracey chains herself to Emma. Says to the camera this is all Congressman Cain's fault. 

Drew is talking to Kai in his office about doing more in politics. Then he tells Kai that he knows doctors that could help him and give him an operation so he can play football. He'd pay for it. WHY asks Kai. Drew just likes the kid. He's suspicious. Drew wants to tell him his side of the story with Curtis. Lies about it. Then Kai wonders what will happen if the operation doesn't work.

Lulu and Lucky talk in a closed Charlie's. I mean, can JJ be shown with more than 1-2 people at a time?? They talk at the bar. She wonders if it's a good idea if he and Liz go to NYC together. "You can't recreate the magic".  I have no idea why she's saying this. 

Sasha and Maxie talk at The Coffee Corner. Sasha shows Maxie the ultrasound. boring. Oh this is all so Sasha can try to get Maxie to hire Sidwell because Sidwell paid her 250K to change her kidnap story. I totally forgot about that. It was EONS ago!! 

Kristina comes into Ava's apartment. Ric hides because he just made peace with Alexis and wants no trouble. Ava and Krissy argue. Ava calls the baby "Irene" Kristina says "ADELA"... "that's not what it says on her gravestone' says Ava. They argue about Avery's custody. OMG Ava tells her she'd do anything as a mother, something Krissy will never know ! AHhhhhhhh! They yell. Kristina says that Ava took her brother and her baby but she won't TAKE HER FATHER --she won't let her. She leaves. Ric comes back out. They talk about Liz and Ava says he still loooooooves her. Then Liz comes to give him the papers about Portia. He goes to give her a ride. 

Kristina goes to the parking garage and sees a car in Ava's spot (it's Ric's) she finds TOOLS just hanging out and takes out some wire cutters. Then she goes to Charlie's and tells Lucky she got into a fight with Ava and "made a mistake" she leaves. Lucky runs after her. 

Sonny and Jason are on the plane to Toronto. Just the 2 of them. They talk about Michael's skin grafts. Yada yada. OMG then in the next scene, Sonny is just sitting in an apartment (Maxie's old place, they didn't even try to change it) and Solinsky comes in. Sonny holds a gun on him. He says he wants to know who hired him. NOW! They guy says he has no clue who hired him and he was paid in crypto. Then he tries to run out the door but Jason is there to stop him. 

END: 

Krissy is driving, trying to stop "Ava" ...

Ric doesn't have any breaks, crashes

Sonny and Jason try to get the guy to talk

FILLINGS

 

Well, it's sunny and cooler here... I'm your official weather girl for Western NY, that's for sure. 

I'm ready for the show: 

Jordan and Isaiah are about to get busy after a hike and Kristina is trying to call him. He doesn't answer. Jordan thinks Boyle might be right about Laura and Sonny. (being too close and the mayor job). She says Laura should have moved the project to Sonny's territory and made him less dangerous but she didn't do it. BUT Jordan thinks Boyle and Drew are worse so for now, she's team Laura. Brick shows up and sees that Isaiah is there. :CLAPPING: buh-bye!! 

Kristina is at Sonny's and Molly comes over. She wants her sister back. Kristina is acting indifferent. Molly says with Sam gone they have to get closer. They are going to the movies together. They make up.

Nina is at Ava's. Ava has to drop off Avery (? Sonny's at his office??) and says she sees "Sonny with new eyes now" . Then she takes Avery to Sonny's and Krissy opens the door. Ava asks if Sonny's ok because if he's not, she should know. Kristina says not her business. Ava says it is. 

Alexis is laying on the floor trying to 'meditate' and Diane comes in alarmed. Alexis says no worries, she's just trying to gear up to strike a peace with Ric. She wants Diane to stay with her when she talks to him. Ric comes over and apologizes--Alexis and Diane are stunned. They end up shaking hands.

Molly comes in and finds out that Cody helped change Ric's mind. 

Sonny and Jason argue about Ava not giving him his meds-- Jason is pissed. Brick comes in and has on the WORST lavender suit I've ever seen Pffffffffft. And I lived thru the 70's! He found the hired hit man on the dark web and he's in Toronto. Jason is going. AND SONNY SAYS HE IS TOO. Jason says NOPE Sonny says YEP. He thinks finding this guy will be a stress reliever. 

Liz and Lucky are at Charlie's. He got her food from NYC. He wants to go there for a few days with her. Flashbacks to the first NYC trip those babies took!! awww that's where the subway token came from!! Anyway, Liz has to go to work but yes, she'll go to NYC.

Brook and Chase talk about Lulu quitting. She says it's his fault. He says he will protect her and oh, Lulu is basically a bitch. 

Felicia tries to get Sasha to put Jason on the baby file and she says no. Felicia says the Scorpio fam will help her take care of the baby. She also wonders if Jason will be on the birth certificate. Sasha says no. Felicia says he could change his mind anytime.

Stella is doing the kidney PSA about high blood pressure and kidney disease. Like a lot. Zzzz. They talk more about it. More and more.

HERE WE GO!

Ava's telling Sonny "Too bad you can't get the help you need" basically taunting him. Krissy walks out. Ava says she has no idea what's happening. Should she call 911? Kristina tells her to just LEAVE. Sonny tells Krissy to call Dr. Gannon. Isaiah shows up and Sonny says he hopes Ava thinks it was just a panic attack. He won't go to GH.

Brook and Lulu keep arguing. Blah blah..finally Emma and Gio walk in. Thank GOD. Lulu leaves. Gio and Emma tell her about the idea with the land and crypt. She says don't get in the middle of a Q family fight. 

Lulu goes to the Q boathouse and beats up a stuffed frog and I AM NOT KIDDING. It was weird. Cody walks in and she bitches and bitches about Brook and Dante. Like A LOT. UGH

Tracey invited Stella and Curtis over--!! Yeah! they are talking about Curtis fact-checking the whole presser about the sports thing Drew is doing and DREW WALKS IN! WHOOT!! "Figures you'd be in cahoots with Tracey" he says. Drew used his name "Cain" in the article and Drew is angry. Curtis is like: TOO BAD< SO SAD. Drew gets mad, leaves. Stella and Tracey laugh, clink glasses. Curtis leaves. They talk about their siblings. 

Laura and Jordan are having something to eat at the Grille and talking about the new guy Boyle and that he's close to Drew. Boyle walks in. There's something going on with the Espidrilled and a snail and some environmental study. He's mad Laura moved the project also thinks she's close to Sonny. "People say".. Laura says "What people".. He says "just people" ahahaaha get it? Then Jordan says he never pays for anything or discloses his assets. Laura leaves. 

Drew comes in and talks to Ezra. Wants him to pull strings and tear that CRYPT DOWN NOW!
