GH was firing on all cylinders this week!! As the Drew mystery grew, so did my attention. They even did some nice mood lighting, weather effects and decent drama music for the event!!
Sit back, grab a macha (ha ha, kidding...I'm not that hip) and let's GO GO!
SPY SPA: Did this matter this week? HELL NO. I'll tell you what happened. Britt finds Voss, Voss fail to escape. Britt phones Jason who doesn't get on the plane. Britt is caught by PJ Man. Jason has 3 flashbacks. Voss' tennis uniforms are still a pristine white as they are tied up whining on the cement floor. Jason goes back to THE FIVE POPPIES, kills a guy and finds a note. Finds the lab...opens the door...and.... There. That's it. Who will be in there? Valentin? Because it was just announced JPS is back so could be. Nathan? Hmmm.. actually, I don't care! How's that!
ON TO THE GOOD STUFF:
It's a dark and stormy night. The characters assemble in their respective places for our set up. Everyone and their brother has threatened Drew so it's anyone's guess at the start of all this. Then one by one, they are eliminated.
TRI AND KAI: These two finally have something to keep them occupied. They go into Drew's via a key that Kai has. He tries to open the safe. Fails. Drew comes in...walks around. Immediately opens the safe. Gets Lila's ring out. Drinks by the fireplace. Is shot 2x. Kai and Trina cower in the bedroom. Later, they run back to Trina's and Kai has gotten the evidence against Portia. They burn it. Stella comes in all scared that Curtis shot Drew. Also, smells smoke. They should tell her they were vaping.
PORTIA: In a weirdly inserted scene (I mean like I had no idea who was even in the bed at first), Portia slips under the sheets with... Isaiah. Like it was all arranged and we knew about it. That's her alibi. Heh. Hunky Doctor I'm having an affair with. Oh, plus the fact she could have killed Drew in the operating room but didn't.
TRACEY: We saw her rush in and save Drew. Damn it Tracey!! Who cares about Monica at this point. Just don't tell her he was murdered! Anyway, she calls 911 and yada yada. The best part of this? She had to wear a hoodie home from the PCPD!!!
CARLY: She went and had a stupid conversation with Brennan about not trusting men and all this other junk and we were left wondering WHY!!? Now we know why. She had to be there to One: Prove she'll fall hard when she finds out about Joss and Two: Alibi. It was a pretty funny conversation though. Plus: Zero Chem.
THE SUSPECTS: These are my main suspects--there definitely could be more, feel free to add in the comments!
WILLOW: Well isn't SHE the cat that ate the canary lately? Her looks are just so intriguing!! Loving the little hints (or non hints??). She looks like she's playing Drew, she faints when she hears he's been shot but has these weird moments in the hallway. If she DID do it, maybe she doesn't remember and is really DID like we though when she was messing with Daisy. Hmmm...who knows. I'm saying...50/50 odds.
MICHAEL: Now, Michael SEEMS to have an alibi in body-shot lady Jacinda (YEAH!!) but he was also seen by Tracey outside the house. He was also soaking wet. So glad Rory took over this part because he's just perfect for the delivery needed. Odds are going down on Michael I think.
CURTIS: Where was he? Was he in The Brown Dog the entire time? He didn't look wet did he? The shadow also had hair so his odds go WAY down.
NINA: Nina thinks Willow did it and gave her an alibi. Did she do that because she knows Willow is the prime suspect anyway and will protect her or is it because SHE needs an alibi?? Hmmm.. I'm somehow thinking it's not her so I'm giving low odds. PS that face is awesome lol
ALEXIS: She emerged from the basement where Ric is being held captive just as Dante announces the murder. Her hair looks perfect. Could she have a blow dryer down there? All I know is I'm loving the fact that Ava, Krissy and her are in an unholy alliance that now includes alibis. More please (and show RIC!!). Also: LOVE that Willow gets guardianship of Scout; someone that is barred from seeing her OWN KIDS! LOL delicious.
WILD CARDS: Top suspect list for one of those "Oh it's someone that really isn't on canvas" type killings.
STELLA: She was a possibility but her going to Trina about Curtis rang true and I don't think they'd go there.
SCOUT: They had her at some summer camp sleep over. At first, some people were saying it could have been her but I'm saying nope.
ROCCO: "You're not even her brother" Drew spat out. Now this is just a fun one I threw in because why not?
EZRA: Not sure why he'd want Drew dead but he's a good one if we want to have someone not directly on all the time.
MARTIN: No one has really mentioned him, but--could be?? He has motive for sure!
JACINDA: OH!! BIG Ol' WILD CARD!! There she was in all her glory at The Grille Bar!! I did have a big old grin on my face. She's back from Australia, out of money and happens to run into Michael. Yet another one on the hook for the murder!
RANDO GOONIE GUY HIRED BY _______________________ I mean, heck-- anyone could have hired a guy to off him. Sonny, Sidwell.. or even Monica (she got Yuri to do it). One never knows with GH!
My top suspect remains Willow but they could be throwing the sink at us to create a diversion. She SEEMS the most likely... but? It's GH.
NEWS: Erika Slezak will be on this month as Monica passes away. It will be a sad time for sure.
DAYTIME EMMYS: The 52nd Daytime Emmys will take place live Friday October 17th at 7:00est on a streaming platform. Details to come.

THAT'S ABOUT IT! I know I skimmed over some things but I do want to say that last Thursday's show was as brilliant as I've seen on a soap in a long, long time. The entire show was dedicated to the suspects and people moving around town. The editing was spot on and characters flowed in and out like they should. Direction was Perfection!! If you haven't seen it, I suggest you watch that day and maybe Friday to catch up on all things Drew related.
SPECULATION: Drew is paralyzed. More wheelchair and fake paralysis to come.
SEE YOU THIS WEEK! I'm only out on Thursday (so far)
CHEERS!
Thank you Karen.
ReplyDeleteAs always, it will be a very random character who shot Drew or someone leaving the show. He probably will be paralyzed and Willow will feel bad and go back to him. IDK. That is usually what happens on soaps. I'd like to see something different. Maybe Nathan did it. Maybe Erika Slezak??? Trina and Kai will probably get blamed at first, but not them.
My favorite GH killing mystery was Diana Taylor. THAT was so mysterious and exciting IMO.
PS. Drew Cain wins the Emmy for the best "Crazy Eyes"
DeleteDiana Taylor would be Nina killing him :)
DeleteI remember Diana Taylor's murder. That was a very good murder mystery. A real shocker when the true killer's identity came out.
DeleteSeason 63 of "GH" officially begins Monday. I wonder if the episode includes material shot after their summer break? I really wish we would get a new opening theme song (or maybe a return to "Faces of the Heart" from the '90s.)
ReplyDelete"Voss' tennis uniforms are still a pristine white as they are tied up whining on the cement floor." ROFL, so true. Are the producers afraid to show that they bleed? I mean, they're being "tortured" after all.
I hope Willow is the shooter but I think it's a good bet they will make it Jacinda. Either way, I think Kai will be briefly arrested, and then maybe Michael.
I know Camerion Mathison is a sweetheart, but I have to say some of those pics he looks like a good Frankenstein replacement. Just with the eyes and expressions! He is playing the part well I will give him that. I have been so irritated with the character that I don't want him to have a chip and turn good again (BORING!)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this week, and I am looking forward to a good who dunnit (if done right). I wish Valentine's return wasn't spoiled. He is one of my favs being able to be a villain with a heart of gold to boot. At least Charlotte will come on our screens, but unfortunately so will Lulu and the shrieking will most likely return. Great actress, just the writing for her is tough to watch sometimes.
From that fall preview article with the "GH" writers in TV Insider, it looks like they may SORAS Charlotte and bring her back a little older.
ReplyDeleteThat rots. I like the actress who plays Charlotte.
DeleteThanks for another great SS!
ReplyDeleteIt could be any of the above, or none of the above. To me it's a mystery that most of the above mentioned would have access to a gun with a silencer so spontaneously.
Let's hope the "tennis two" and their story line soon ends and all head back to PC and move along.
Isaiah and Portia just have to go away. Wait...Isaiah is totally disposable and obsessed with Portia. Maybe he did it.
I think it's the original CHarlotte and I know that I've complained about her never being on screen but the spoilers from GH writers say she manipulates something something to get her way????involving Valentin.....also doesn't say if he is released or just in prison....I didn't want her to be like the spoiled brat she has been.....give her teenage problems...
ReplyDelete-------I say Jacinda shot Drew but for sure I think Kai will be arrested/Trina can't say anything......I WANT it to be Willow.
-------still screaming if Drew is paralyzed/doesn't change/Willow goes back to him
-------all the fall previews too with Monica death/sister comes/Valentin back/Nathan back BOOOOOOO cause he DIED
-----I truly think Drew will take a back seat to the fall and with Monica gone, Tracy won't CARE what happens to Drew!!
-------I like Sidwell but don't see how he can stay on the show with all he has done.
-----spoilers also say Joss and Vaughn come home and Jason can't tell Carly that Joss is WSB.....sigh....
-----Practical me: ah, Liz, Aiden should be home by now.....and mention Jake SOMETIME!!!!
----- big question is WHO is the big boss???Ya'll think it's a mean Nathan or Faison or who????
------guess Olivia and Ned are never ever in the house anymore.
