Just thought I'd put a pic of two of the best gals on GH up!! I know The Gallery exhibit wasn't terribly exciting but just having some new photos and wardrobe going all out was enough. I mean this week was....DULL.
Ready to go? Not sure I am but....I'll try!!
I'm back from DC and boy do I need to talk to you, it's urgent!!
Oh I have so much to tell you my love-- it's been hell without you
Willow...you have to go spay tan. If you're coming with me, I can't take your pale ass to Washington. I set you up a membership.
I have to let her go for her own safety, I know that ...but...
Man, I hear you, I had to do it a million times. It will work out. You just stare into space and eventually, they'll be home.
At least I can shed some tears. See? TEARS!!
Impressive.
OH, Come on, Molly...just ONE Date....Cody is amazing and he's practically a COWBOY!
Well.. I um..
I'll EVEN PAY!!
OK! ENOUGH OF THE FUN-FUN... let's talk about the nitty-gritty of this week. Hard to believe it was summer but here we go!
OH MY MAMA: Who killed your mother? Was it SONNY CORINTHOS? Ezra gets the press to confront Marco who doesn't say much to them but privately blasts Laura for being pals with the mobster. Lucas is concerned enough to go to Carly who then stomps into Sonny's to tell him to cool the 'war'. Will Sonny listen? Do we CARE ANYMORE? That would be a NOPE. We've seen this dance for decades. We were a little excited Sonny MIGHT get out. Now? Hope is lost. Save yourselves. Note: I also have to call out wardrobe because Ezra's suit fit SO badly I was laughing on the floor instead of listening to the scene.
OH MY OTHER MAMA: The Rocco fallout continues. Brook and Lulu fight.. yap yap yap. Dante gets angry. Dante confronts Brook. They hug it out. Laura tells Rocco what a miracle he really is and he's so wanted. The porch talk was a very good one. Then, Rocco emails.... DR LIESEL OBRECT!!!! Tah! DAH!! About time she's back on the show.
THE DULLEST SPY STORY IN EXISTENCE: You know the one. The one where the actor hired to play the evil ANIMAL ABUSER isn't even on. Like, he couldn't even have been on for the Gallery photos? Going around looking at the animals with a smirk or something? What is with this Joss-Emma-Vaughn Plan? Anna steps in and all of a sudden Vaughn retreats? Come on now. I have no idea where this is going, I don't care-- and by the time anything happens, we'll be watching Beyond The Gates. (did I say that?!)
THE PERILS OF PORTIA: I GUESS this is an attempt at a good old fashioned affair? Although I'm suspicious that when/if she does sleep with Isaiah she'll instantly regret it, be all verklempt and that will be that. Would have been WAY better for her and Curtis to make up and an organic affair take place based on lust and chemistry. Remember those days? Hiding in the storage closet, hoping you don't get caught? Playing both sides of the coin? Yeah, I was younger then and it was the 70's but damn. People have such scruples now.
BLACKMAIL COCKTAILS: I don't know about you but... come on now. This Drew business has gone on FAR TOO LONG. Now Curtis is doing a hit-piece on Sonny but then tells Michael about it so...what? Is this interesting? WHEN THE HELL IS THAT DAMN ELECTION with the PIER?!!! PLEASE!! END THIS!! One good thing that might come of all of his? Trina read Kai but good. Bye-- you can go back to wherever you came from!
THE BABY DAISY: So, it was Willow doing the dirty work with the Daisy stuff. I guess with her translucent skin, she's invisible to all of the Q security and cameras. Anyway, she's not a split-personality (my wish) nor is it anyone surprising. Now Sasha is leaving for wherever and St. Jaysus is going to take her. Not sure if Sophia Mattsson is leaving or going on vacation or what is happening. I guess we shall see. The Q's might be finding a new chef.
ONE OFF: I have to mention this because I found it pretty funny. Ned and Olivia were on for a split-second. Olivia finds Daisy in the bassinet in the Q living room. We haven't seen them in SO long--and they didn't make the Christening. Yet, they pop in for this one scene and...then they are gone. LOL. Oh, the scheduling the poor writers have to contend with. "QUICK!! Wally and Lisa need their hours, WRITE SOMETHING"!! :eyeroll: We do notice these things.
Ok, that's about all I feel like writing. If I skipped some things (like Gio and GRANDPA) it's because it was just all so predictable. THIS IS SUMMER? Seriously? Again, maybe I've watched soaps far too long because this is about as dull as they get. Even the Ava/Cody/Ric dance is tedious. Cody's been fun but that's about it. Nothing has any 'oomph'.
I know GH can be SPECTACULAR...I've seen it. The summer held such promise. The crescendos just come crashing down like a lead balloon. You also HAVE to address the fact that Charlotte hasn't been seen in ages. Hell, she's a dang FROZEN embryo-egg zygote from WAY back and carried in a thermos!! None of the younger kids are on and you can usually count on that a bit in summer. Ace is basically evaporated and Leo? Um.. I have no clue. One other thing: Jocinda was a great little character, would it have killed you to have her back to zing Drew?
Highpoint (for me): Stella and Martin. Two faves. She may have committed insurance fraud for him!
Ok! Hope you have a great rest of your Sunday. One FUN FUN THING here in Rochester is that there was a lion mountain sighting (real) in the city and people are just doing it up!! SO many photoshops and Mashups! Here's our local resident Curtis taking about his encounter. Hysterical:
I respectfully disagree, I am enjoying these stories: Gio and Rocco birth stories and the fallout. I love Emma in every scene. Enjoying Willow going crazy. Tai/ Trina are interesting because they now have angst. Michael is portrayed by an actor that has layers to his acting and is 100x sexy than CD. Marcos is a welcomed character and are building a nice relationship with Lucas, while giving angst. For way too many years, GH had couples that were boring and stayed together for long periods of time. Well, it may be nice, it’s not good storytelling. Drew is interesting, I root against him, but a needed character. CM is doing well.
ReplyDeleteThings I wish would move along quicker, and I think we would agree on our the elections, Sonny/Sidwell “dance”, Dr. Henry/ WSB. The one thing I can’t stand that CM does is when he’s around an actor that is shorter than him. He has to feel like he needs to bend down. If that is a directing choice, they need to stop it.
I'm so glad...and you wrote why!! That's great because I often feel like it's just me because I get bored easily when things aren't at full-tilt. I DO like Marco and I also like the Lucas part. I also agree that CM is making me loathe Drew but they need to put other things on his plate as well. What do you feel about the spy stuff? That's just such a fail for me. It REALLY could have been intriguing. Maybe it will be--but now? Nope
DeleteLast week was mediocre. Not awful, just blah.
ReplyDeleteThings I want to see: Sonny leaving the mob and deciding what to do next, the Qs dealing with the fallout from Monica's death, Isiah and Elizabeth start dating, Nelle secretly communicating with Willow, Tracy doing anything (she's always great.)
I guess now we know where Liesel has been and what she's been doing -- in a lab resurrecting her daughter. (Although I do wish KT would play a new character.)
Again I thank you for a great SS!
ReplyDeleteWillow and Drew live together but he returns from DC and goes right to the pool? Can she be any whiter?
A WSB caper with an invisible main subject. Big news bringing him on and poof, he has no air time. This story is really bad. Never mind that Joss is now a new character. Even when she talks to Carly there is a detachment which was never there.
So glad you mentioned BTG. It is fresh and colorful and some people are just plain happy! If the tables were turned and GH was the new soap I'd probably have watched it for a few days.
As previously stated...no one is happy on GH. It's depressing.
I am thrilled that KG and KT are returning.
It seems to me that both Lucky's return and Natalia were meant to introduce Sidwell. And then they were gone. I do like Marco and hope he has a future in PC.
