Another shortie blog because there's not a lot to say other than I loved some of the shows and fell asleep with others. So hit and miss with me. The fundamental joy was with the Quartermaines! All in the same place, doing Q things and making me smile.
RANKING:
Monday: Don't remember
Tuesday: DELIGHTFUL A++
Wednesday: Still on a high from Tuesday B
Thursday: Starting down the boring path again C
Friday: Not sure I want to even watch... ok, I watched also a C and only because Brad was on.
I'm telling you to sit down and find Tuesdays' show either on Hulu or YouTube because it's just a wonderful throwback to earlier, fun GH days. Flow? Great. Dialog: FUN and so many people. When Ned walked out I did scream a bit. Having Olivia and him there was perfect. They are so needed in the family mix. Jane is having a blast and the whole 'dump on the help' thing is just a Q type trait that would happen. When Sasha said she was pregnant the air was sucked out of the room! Jason had a rare lightbulb moment that was hilarious. Give me more. FILL that living room with people and wacky stuff. I even thought her screaming about the mouse was great. Ah, I was so happy.
The end of Tuesday's show was a cliffhanger to behold!! Valentin stepped out and I did a WHAT?? Gasp-take!! Had no clue it was coming. I thought Carly was going to walk in naked or something! Now, both CM and JPS sold that strangling scene perfectly. Didn't feel like a "soap" stunt. I of course, loved it. Even Carly didn't make me go ewwww!! She was so tolerable. The kiss when he came into her room--also perfection. Of course, they had to stop it and talk about his past for 2 days which totally killed the buzz. BUT!! For a split-second it was glorious.
Rumor has it Sonny doesn't make it to LA and has an 'episode' right in Port Charles. This is my wish. Let him fall down and Ava swoop right in!!
The Brook Lyn pregnancy story WOULD have had legs if they had set it up back in the beginning. Not when she was first on but when she came back with Amanda in the role. Cody and Dante were talking enough about camp that things should have dovetailed from then. This whole backstory with Cody putting Brook on the bus is crazy-pants. Also see: I don't care about Gio Boy so, there's that part.
And... it MOVED! St. Jaysus was there when the baby kicked (isn't she only like 5 weeks? But anyway)...Cody was there to see the laying of the hands. He of course thinks it's Jason's and blabs to everyone. Jason doesn't believe Sasha that Michael said raise the baby alone so he's going to go wake the poor kid up AGAIN and ask him himself. Geesh. I get that he thinks of this as his grandbaby but damn, you're a bit much, Sir!
Digitalis Murder "Mystery" . I was going to write a giant paragraph on the failures of this story but let me just say: NOPE. I mean, I feel like this could have been a "Murder She Wrote" 2 part episode and over and done with. That photo was from January 10th, the last time Cyrus was seen. He was putting the injection into Michael's IV.
I'm so tired of Laura's never-ending revolving hoard of blazers. Seriously. I mean at least it's cold out.
A thank you to Parry Shen. That's it. His scenes were chopped into tiny pieces but at least they were in there, right? "Deluxe Spray in Pro-Glow" LOL
Ok, that's all I'm doing this week. My suggestion is watch Tuesday and maybe Wed. show. Curtis' threats to Drew Friday were good. Liked Ric figuring out something was up with Sonny.
Here's hoping this week is a fun one!!
CHEERS
One of my lovely Canadian readers sent this to me.... ahahahaaha at the caption!!
NOTE: I didn't write this in the blog because many people come here to forget about politics for a minute. I know the people that comment frequently and many are from Canada. (if any readers are from Mexico, this goes for you too). SO many of us stand with you and I hope your government(s) do what they need to do to stop this madness. I live next to Canada and love it there. That's my soapbox today. These are dire times and I can't just be silent.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this. It is unbearable. My history of loathing the FOTUS goes back decades. Daily tears.
Deleteyeah... I'm going one day at a time and I think I've aged 20 years in these last 2!!
DeleteI had to look up what FOTUS was. Oh my.... I have tried VERY hard not to watch news or read anything; it's tough. I am with you ladies!
DeleteYes...and I am too old to age any faster.
DeleteThank you for saying this Karen. It's going to be a brutal 4 years - and not just for Americans
DeleteI hear you John. I barely survived the first 4
DeleteDitto.
DeleteYes, yes and yes. Stand together, try to stop the madness. Watch GH for an escape. My husband and I went to Montreal in December just because. I love Canada. Quebec next time?
Deletethank you, karen. agree with everything you said. nice to know folks here think as i do.
DeleteSame here Karen and thank you for saying this.
DeleteThank you again for a fine SS (short&sweet)!.
ReplyDeleteAs bad as it can be it is a welcome distraction. Especially the good parts which always seem to take place at the Q's. If only they could somehow integrate Brad into that family. He is definitely a bright spot on GH.
I OD'd on Laura's sugary advice this week. Lulu continues to not see her son.
Why are they returning Cody to moron status?
The digitalis killings might just fall away into nothingness like the killings before. Austin and Cates. Never to be solved or even mentioned.
Maybe Brad could become Tracy's personal assistant? (Although I'd rather see him work for Maxie.)
DeleteLaura's blazers are something. I will forgive it; Genie is probably self conscious about her weight, and I love her. I don't mind them as long as they are not the "drapery" style ones. Also, she is so pretty in pink, blue, peach and they should have her wear those colors more often
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, I don't know what to say about the show; not much.
Thank you though Karen as I do love to read and write on this blog.
----thinking Cyrus dies -
ReplyDeleteokay ya'll have said everything so I am going off-script
FREEVEE TV shows the 2018-2019 GH
and this weekend - it was Oscar's death yesterday and I cried and cried. I had forgotten that he saw "Edward and Lila" and he left with them......but before that, he dreamed what would happen when he died and everyone had moved on --------and he told Joss in the dream "I know that everyone is putting their lives on hold for me and I can't do that anymore. I am ready."
-------Billy Miller's Drew is SOOOOOOO far from this creepy version of Drew that it is pitiful. Monica adored Billy/Drew..........WHY would they make CM/Drew so horrible????
------and the 2019 Nurses Ball right now - great acts
---- FUNNY FUNNY that Nina/Michelle Stafford can't speak when she meets Jax......(don't care for the Shiloh storyline but whatever)....and Finn and Anna were cute.....
------bottom line - the difference in 2019 writing and today's is just flat-out sad........
Yeah, watching Billy Miller is ... eerie almost.
DeleteIt's tough. So many have passed on GH recently (few years)
DeleteYoung ones too.
DeleteI miss Michelle Stafford. She brought something unique to the show.
DeleteTotally agree Kevin - could you imagine her as Nina in some of the stories of the past few years - would have been epic
Deleteand watching Michelle HATE Willow is almost comical.....
DeleteCharles Mesure (Jack) out - replaced by Chris McKenna.
