Another enjoyable week for me. I'm sounding like a broken record but in a GOOD way for once!! I also saw 2 days on Hulu which means no commercials during my viewing pleasure. :clapping:
What say you? You liking the show? The lull we had seems to be breaking and although there are some kinks to iron out, all in all fun is being had.
Grab what ya got and let's GO GO!
There is so much to talk about it's getting harder and harder to organize this narrative each Sunday. It's also harder because the stories really do dovetail now and are all twined together. You know that's my fave. So bear with me while I try to navigate through the drama.
THE MAD HATTER: So, Brook throws a tea party and boy, was it fun! We haven't had an all lady event like this in forever. Not only that, everyone was waiting to see the Big Show: Ronnie vs Tracey! I'm convinced Martin is the one that spiked Ronnie's tea. He was in there like a bat outta hell when he found out Tracey might be coming around to Ronnie. Even so, the argument was great and it could have gone on forever in my book. Side note: I DO NOT think Ronnie is fake. I think she IS Monica's sister and Marty found the letter she wrote. He went to the lawyer, had the Will changed and she has no clue. I see Tracey and her getting together to take Martin down. I'd love to keep Erika if we could!
THE COUCH SURFER: In a truly wonderful moment, Tracey wakes up to Rocco and Charlotte arguing. Did anyone give her a BED in Lulu's house? NOPE! Then all of her moving boxes came in. Gotta love it. She should be with Obrect in The Cosmo Hotel but hey, this is way more fun, no?
THE ALIBI RETRACTION: I'm saying Star of the Week was Cynthia Watros with her performance during the courtroom scenes. WOWZA. The pain on her face was so poignant. It was killing Nina to do this but she had to, especially with the footage showing she was lying. Drew jumping up was soapy "YOU BITCH"!! And Willow?? OFF to Pentonville with you!! Drew then told Alexis she had to represent Willow to see Scout again. That tuned into a whole OTHER thing!!
THE PREGNANT PAUSE: Jordan has figured out Portia is PG. What does she do? She runs to ANNA to dish about it. So many people were doggin' on Jordan but THIS IS THE STUFF OF OG SOAPS!! That's what characters DO!! Ya go tell your best girlfriend!! I was happy with those Brown Dog Scenes. More please.
THE PRISON DISGUISE: Um.. CARLY! Party City has closed so I'm not sure where you found this get-up!! I have to admit I really liked her and Valentin teaming up against Brennan. It was unexpected and Carly was great in all the scenes. She was also great when talking to Jack and trying to get him to tell her the truth. Kudos to Laura Wright for just the right touch when acting that part out. I'm hoping Val gets out of jail somehow but with "Steinmauer" as easy to get to as NYC it seems, maybe it can work out!
THE FAISON FACTOR: If ever I had hope Faison was coming back, this just made me giddy! First of all, let's talk about the Anna of it all. I'm so happy they are using her history in this story and just keeping it up. She confronts Britt about everything and Britt stupidly says "I was developing an exfoliant at the Poppies" . Girl... things don't blow up over skin care. Everyone who's anyone from the 90s knows that Faison's kids turning up from beyond the grave HAS to mean something. I'm here for it.
THE BAD BOY: I like the good-boy-bad-boys on soaps and Michael never really got over the edge of 'bad' for me. He had a few moments but, meh, didn't see it. NOW? Holy HELLO there he is in all his glory!! Talking to Dante he was mysterious, ruthless and unforgiving. He hates Willow and isn't afraid to show it. Then, he talks to Jacinda about "falling in love" for the show of it (we all know where this is going) and it was delightful. Thank you to Rory!
THE BENSONHURST HEIST: Honestly had NO idea why Lois showed up in her PJs to talk to Sonny about Gio. Like, huh? Okay. Why do I care? Then it was revealed that Rena is 'leaving' GH and Lois is going 'on tour' with Blaze. I'm sure she'll be back to visit at some point. The scenes between her and Brook Lyn were good but really felt inserted.
THE HOMAGE TO THE FORD BROTHERS: If you know, you know. Porn Hub curtesy of Sloan Rush on Twitter.
THE REST:
Alexis visits Willow in jail, Willow's grateful she's her attorney
Lulu and Lucas dish about PC happenings over BLTs
Trina talks to Jordan about staying away from her father
Spinelli asks Jason for help regarding the James/Nathan situation
Joss warns Emma about staying away from Dalton
Dante questions Michael about the night of the shooting
Lois tries to get through to Gio about family and his adoption
PREDICTIONS: If it's true that ES is leaving soon, the Ronnie "reveal" should be coming up. Woe be it to Martin when Tracey finds out!! I think Michael and Jacinda will fall in love (or at least lust) and everyone will be freaking out about the situation. Will Drew use her old life to try to get the kids away? We need way more Ava on and start back up with the Ric stuff. We know he'll be on a devious rampage, let's go!!
Parapet thoughts put this: Visiting thte Steinmauer Muffler Shop! AHAHA It fits so well!! I just want to say that GH is feeling like a real old-timey soap lately. The whole town is being used and there seems to be little surprises for me on the daily. We have a 'shooting' mystery, a Whos' the Daddy, some WSB spy stuff and other goodies in the mix. Chases' obsession with Willow is twisty and I really hope they explore that. Dante needs some action...and I'm hoping for more involvement with the WSB caper from him. The biggest area of complaint is: Nathan. It's just not even complex or intiging at this juncture. Way more needs to be happening around his return.
It's funny but my blogs do WAY better when I'm hating on the show and I wonder what that says? LOL.
CHEERS!
Thanks for another great SS!
ReplyDeleteMaxie is not gone, as Nathan said, she is in Boston and it is preposterous that "Nathan" hasn't gone to see her and/or no one has even suggested it.
Although I would love ES to stay on it is nice that the story will wrap sooner than later. On that note...love that tribute to the Ford bros and anything OLTL.
Love that Danny! And he's not even a suspect. Yet.
Let's count how many times Willow and Michael say they didn't shoot Drew. What I don't get is why Michael is acting so guilty. I do like Jacinda but Michael is acting a bit creepy.
I do love RS and hate to see her go again. GH needs more lightness.
If Martin did spike Ronnie's tea why wouldn't he want to stick around and watch the results? That I don't get.
The fall colors this year are early but fantastic! Have a great Sunday!
June Lockhart (Felicia's grandmother) just passed away at age 100!!!
ReplyDeleteDid you all see that the lovely Donna, Scarlet Spears, is appearing as young Glinda in the new Wicked movie? She is on her way.
ReplyDelete----gotta get this outta the way........multiple spoilers say Wednesday Ronnie makes a shocking announcement/Drew is happy...........I just can't that it DOES look like she would sell the house to Drew!!!!!!! But it would fit the time frame......and I think she truly thinks Monica gave her the house.............so Drew kicks people out, etc and then WHO discovers that Martin is behind this?
ReplyDelete-----okay - great week of shows for the most part............I am still annoyed that NO ONE believes Tracy and especially that Jason sat RIGHT THERE and didn't ask Spinelli to check out Ronnie OR OR OR someone go to the stupid diner and check her out.
-----Jacinda and Michael - yep...
-----Sweeps start this week and I truly thought the Ronnie thing would end.....or that the audience AT LEAST would know who shot Drew.....not sure what the big thing is gonna be....
----I think Martin spiked the tea to make Ronnie kick Tracy out...
------I hope the Carly/Valentin thing is good --------------or even includes Anna
-------Jordan, Curtis, Portia and Isaiah - don't care.....
------still wish there was SOME romance on GH
