Welp. I watched.

 

Monday, Monday... and I'm hoping GH is good today. Sitting here with Tillie can be a long hour if it's not exciting!!!! 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Chase is shirtless, running around the Q property and sees Willow moving in. She tells him about Michael breaking up with Jacinda and asking her back to the Qs so the family can be close. Chase thinks she's so selfless ahahahaha. Yuri moves more boxes in. Chase keeps yappin. Willow says they are both outsiders so they will have to watch each other's backs. Chase now helps her take boxes inside. She tells Yuri to go back to the house. Chase is going to help her. :EYEROLL: 

Tracey tells Brook Willow is in the gatehouse. Brook freaks out. Wants Michael there to yell at him and get her out. Tracey says no, it's done, she's moved in. Plus they can keep an eye on her there. Brook is afraid Willow will invent 1000 reasons for Chase to visit her. Tracey says to have faith in her marriage. Brook is scared. 

Lucas and Joe banter at the nurses' station about the softball game. You know, chem testing. Lucas got an apartment. Lucy is going to show Joe one this afternoon.

Joe calls and wants to meet Lucy at the apartment. He can e-sign the lease. Oh it's so going to be the same one Lucas has. You wait. 

Serena and Lucy at the pool. Lucy tells her that Michael is single. She wants a romance. Serena thinks they should try another tactic to get Michael's shares. She doesn't have a plan--yet. 

Joss meets Michael at the boathouse, wants help with the situation she's in because of her father. Michael says it's a set up but nothing he can do about it.  She's mad Willow moved in. He wants her to be nice and welcoming. She's like no way. He says he'll help her find someone to run JJE if she does. They agree to help each other. Then Hudson comes over and gives Michael (Joss' consultant) the list of people he has. Michael leaves. Joss wonders why he didn't put himself on that list. 

Carly invites Hudson over for coffee. Wants to know how he's going to get Joss to take the CEO job. He says there's a list of people to take over. Carly tells him to burn it. He's like Can't do that, you're not my boss. THEN LUCAS WALKS in-- from a TIME PORTAL ahahahahaha. OMG. That was hysterical. He was literally at the hospital 2 seconds ago. She tells Hudson where Joss is living and he leaves. Lucas gets the lowdown on the whole JJE/Jax thing from Carly.  Lucas tells her Joss will do the exact opposite that she wants so she should stop pushing. 

END: 

Yep, Lucas and Joe are going to sign for the same apartment. 

Nothing much else happened. 

The End. 

Sunday Surgery: Old Ironsides

 

Another summer week, another lack-luster showing from GH. Sorry but I'm just not feeling it at ALL this quarter. With lack-luster newbies and stories that pop up out of the ground, it's just dull. Worst sin of all for a daytime show!! 

I have some nice chai today for a change. Grab your fave and let's GO GO!!

Kids in the Pool

 

FRIDAY! We are having a giant music fest about a mile from our house this weekend that starts tonight. Fabulous weather, can't wait!! WOOT!! Very Millennial music: Lit, Toadies, Cracker, Guster, My Mourning Jacket--Modest Mouse and Joywave are a few. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Cody in the barn. "I got attacked" (he has a bite mark on his hand. "Horse or Tracey" asks Molly. He said Hades did it. Must miss James. Hades loved James. Molly says so did you. He hopes James gets a good horse in Australia. Molly has an idea for a trip. Going to Savannah for a romance novel fest. Her publicist thinks it's a good idea. 

Michael tells Tracey that Wills is moving into the gatehouse. She's like: DENIED! No way will she let her in there. Michael says it's his idea. Tells Tracey he has something on her. She's like: WELL SUE HER FOR SOLE CUSTODY! Michael wants his kids to have their mother--he didn't like his broken household growing up. Tracey says NOPE NOPE NOPE. Michael asks if his grandmother would have said that. 

Char and Danny are on the boat dock at the Q's. Danny tells her about Drew/Scout and he can't see her. Charlotte says Drew hates him and there's not much he can do about it. She says "when Drew goes Low, you go lower" _-THERE'S A CASSADINE FOR YA! They can make up something about Drew and Danny would get to see Scout. Danny thinks that would hurt Scout. 

At the pool, Scout gets out and is all anxious about her father. Rocco says he took Danny's shift so she should be ok. Scout says he doesn't like Rocco either because his grandpa is Sonny. She also tells him her life was so much easier when Drew was in a wheelchair! She gasps when she says that. Rocco understands. She says he's the only one she can confide in. She loved living with the Davis Girls. He tells her to do what Drew says but then behind his back, do what she wants. LOL They'll meet up alone to "just talk" now and then. 

IN the patio restaurant, Alexis wants to talk about Scout seeing the family. NOPE says Drew. He's SUCH a dick to Alexis. Tells her she's using Sam's death to get access to Scout. Alexis is like: I SHOULD HAVE ACCESS!! He says he doesn't even care that she took her in when he was in the wheelchair. Says Scout hurt her ankle while in her care and hanging around Danny. Also, Alexis badmouths him. Brennan walks in and hears Drew being a jerk to Alexis. He says maybe the ex-congressman shouldn't be making enemies. (Dangling the blackmail in front of him). Drew back-talks him. Brennan wonders if there's anything in Drew's past that might come back to bite him. Alexis is so interested! Drew limps off to go get Scout. Alexis wants Jack to tell her what it is. "Depends on you" he says. 

Carly and Jason. He fixed her car. He also tells her he quit Sonny!! OH! Might open a garage. Carly's surprised. He tells her about talking to Sonny--Jakarta and his choices. Cries a bit. She gets teary too. Steve Burton is doing SO WELL lately, I'm like a fan now. Dang! Carly suggests he work for ELQ. He's like :Um no. She thinks Michael and Ned would appreciate it. 

ADA and Sonny in the love nest. She tells him Sidwell is in Pentonville. Sonny says Yeah I know. She wonders if he's going to kill him in there. Sonny's like: I WOULD NOT! I'm goin' CLEAN! She's not sure she believes him. He's going to buy back his piers and take over Sidwell's legit businesses.  Then she goes ON AND ON about how hard it is to quit and yada yada. Sonny asks if she doesn't want to be seen in public with him as "legit Sonny Corinthos"? Wouldn't make any difference when it came to her job. Wants to keep them a secret 

END: 

Tracey agrees to Willow moving in but she's not happy about it

Sonny agrees to keep their relationship a secret. 

Jason and Carly say they won't talk to each other abou Valentin or Britt. 

Char wants to cook up something really bad against Drew

Brennan wants information from Alexis about Jasper Jacks Enterprises from when she worked for him. Then he might help her with DREW> 

VERDICT DAY

 

So it doesn't look like I missed a lot yesterday. Glad the verdict is today. I think he's found not guilty because it sets up a war between the two. BUT...let's see if I'm right. Soap Central says that Jenz Sidwell shares a cell with someone--so....would that be Curtis?? 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Mostly at the pool so far. 

Rocco and Britt. He's complaining about his mother. Oh, and father. And boring.

Joss is trying to swim. Hudson is blocking her way. Oh geesh, really?  He wants her to pick someone NOW! She's like NOPE! She gets out, he has a towel. Man, he's a bad actor. They talk and talk and--no chemistry or banter or ANYTHING. 

Anna and Emma talk about Gio being too busy lately. He's really busy. She wants to go to vet school. Sad horn. She's going to be jelly of Gio's fan girlies. She gets up to check on Gio. PETER sits down. Talks about Anna getting Britt. Anna goes over to talk to her. 

Marshall and Stella are waiting at home for the verdict. They think a war will start if Curtis is found not guilty. Hey, I said that.

Courtroom:  Curtis, Jordy, Martin, Molly...Trina shows up. Portia sees her hugging Curtis. They go in to hear the verdict. Guilty of 2nd degree assault. Guess he goes to see Sidwell in jail. Trina says goodbye. Oh he has 48 hours before he has to report. 

Portia comes home. Cries and hugs Stella. Curtis comes home, cries, hugs Stella. 

Willow goes to pick up the kids. Michael is all smug. She's like: I JUST GOT A BLOODTEST and I MIGHT File CHARGES! He says "I finally have PROOF YOU SHOT DREW"! He pulls out papers from Trina and Kai--signed. Noterized. She's like: @@  He tells her they were hiding in the bedroom and about the ring tone and yada yada.  She yells. He says that she will do WHAT HE SAYS or... else! She picks up the rolling pin to hit him. He blocks it. Very sexy scenes. He also tells her Jacinda has left the country. Willow asks what he wants. He wants her in the gate house to keep an eye on her, her passport and she can't take the kids to DC lol 

END: 

Curtis says a teary goodbye to Desmond.

Stalker is outside Bobbie's, watches Kai leave

Anna tells Britt she will help her but has to meet in person. Peter says, good now you can eliminate her. 

Young Doctors in Love

 

Who remembers this?

In my opinion, it wasn't that great. I do remember this coming out, and I hoped for some good slapstick and good humor and parody, but it was awful to tell you the truth. Maybe someday I will revisit it and now that I am MORE into General Hospital than I was back then I can appreciate it even more.

From Wikipedia, these are the soap stars that cameo'd on Young Doctors in Love:

Soap actors John Beradino, Emily McLaughlin, Michael Damian, Steven Ford, Chris Robinson, Stuart Damon, Jaime Lyn Bauer, Tom Ligon, Kin Shriner, Janine Turner, and Jacklyn Zeman make cameos, while Susan Lucci, Cynthia Geary, Patrick Macnee and Demi Moore appear in uncredited cameos.

Rumor has it, they are trying to remake Soapdish into a series for Paramount+. It's in limbo right now. With today's writers, it might be good. Soapdish was great. Lots of good lines, etc. I still sometimes quote "trip to the mall" and am amazed when someone recognizes that.

Any comments on either film? Karen here! Dave was kind enough to do this blog because I'm out today frolicking. I saw Soapdish-- LOVED it but have not seen Young Doctors in Love. Who knew Robert Downey Jr was in Soapdish?? Totally forgot that. 

Please leave all comments on today's show in below!! 

See Ya, Blondie

 

So humid today--and I'm NOT GOOD WITH IT lol. Just hate it so much. That's why I will never move south!! Give me the frozen tundra before this!! 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Gio and Emma at the Pool. She wants to go to The Finger Lakes camp she reserved and surprise him. He can't go. Has to practice to meet their first deadline. She understands. Oh he can't go at Thanksgiving either! TOUR! OH! He can't ride bikes today! Practice! 

Lucy and Serena are at the pool too and talk about Michael. Serena doesn't think he's trying to take away Deception from Lucy. Lucy thinks he's ruthless. 

Cody brings flowers to Willow and says congrats, SIDWELL IS IN JAIL. I'm like: ? HUH ? Yep, he took a plea deal to everything, got 31 to life and Molly also found out (in discovery) he was responsible for Maxie's coma. Cody tries to cheer her up. She's sad she cancelled her book tour because of the trial. 

Cody and Molly go to the pool. Lucy wants to introduce Serena to her brother. They meet, exchange numbers. 

In the Metro Patio, Val is having breakfast with Jordan and asks for a favor. "After all I saved your life'. She's like: WHAT? He tells her about being there the night of the crash. She can't believe Curtis didn't tell her. His favor has to do with Sidwell. He wants to buy Wyndemere and maybe his other assets that are good and wants her to tell him which those might be. She says Sidwell's businesses were legal as far as she could tell. He'd like her advice. 

Then Joss and Brennan walk in. He gives the stink eye to Val. Joss tells Jack she wants to be back in the field asap. He says she's not ready mentally yet. She says she is. He says she's killed a lot of people. She's like: MEH. He says no. She tells him well maybe I'll run my DAD'S COMPANY LIKE HE WANTS! So there! Brennan is suspicious that Jac would just leave his company to HER with no business anything. 
Nina calls him and says get to her place NOW.

Willow wakes up on the couch. Wonders why she's there. Nina told her Michael was there when she got home. Michael said Willow was out of it so he stayed with her. Willow says she didn't drink "I MUST HAVE BEEN DRUGGED"! They think it might be Dr3ew. Then they both remember Jacinda was there alone with her coffee. Willow stomps out to get HER KIDS BACK NOWWWWWWW! They can't find the cup and that makes Willow even MORE ANGRY. She runs out.

Jacinda goes to the Q's to see Michael. He tells her that Willow was with Wiley and Amelia and almost drove with them. Jacinda cries. Michael is weirdly calm. He says no harm done but Willow will realize she was drugged and blame him. He did take the cup away but the judge could see a pattern since Jacinda did this before. He says there's a way out but she's not going to like it.  They have to break up and she has to leave town. REALLY? LIKE WE DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING AS SOON AS SERENA ARRIVED ahahhaaha. They are both crying. They say all sorts of gushy stuff. Michael is giving her money to "invest in her future' because she's so great. :eyeroll: 

Goodnight.

Monday already?? Thanks to all that read the Sunday blog and commented. I do work somewhat hard on those on Saturday so it's great to see so many people taking a gander!! Last week was just TOO TOO TOO EVERYTHING and while I don't want the show to be boring, I don't want to feel like I need a scorecard to keep up! 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

NOTE: It gets dark here in WNY at around 8:45 ish. I don't even know what time it's supposed to be in PC. 

 Night time at the hospital. Anna's there for a check up. Felicia is talking to her in the exam room. Says it's nice to see Anna "like herself". Anna says yeah but sees her "doctor" as Peter. Peter tells her to ask Felicia and Anna says she's fine, Fe can go. Then Peter is all acting drama saying Felicia knows all about Britt and USE HER FOR INFORMATION 

Britt comes in with the baseball stuff (at night?) and banters (If you can call it that) with Tristan. 

Later, Anna runs into Britt. Britt asks her to help with the information on Cassius because her mother is so sad. Peter pipes up and says: ANNA! Now is our chance. They argue, Britt calls Anna useless and storms off. Felicia tries to calm Anna. Anna sees Peter who says: ASK her how BRITT Is doing. Anna is robot voice: HOW is BRITT DOING? 

 Laura and Lulu are talking. Lulu is going going to let Char live with Valentin. Then Char and Rocco are shown outside plotting something. They walk in and Lulu says that Charlotte can go live with her father but then Rocco says "that's SO SELFISH" --and bickers with her. He goes out. Tells Laura he's mad she's doing this to Lulu. Laura thinks he's mad she's doing it to HIM. Rocco leaves. 

Inside, Char tells Lulu she loves her. Then Laura comes back in and Charlotte sees Danny outside and wants to go talk to him. 

Valentin is cooking for Carly and Joss stomps in. Says "you'll do anything to keep me out of the WSB, won't you". Carly did tell Jax about her being in the WSB. "He had a right to know"...Joss is mad. Says she can't get in touch with Jax. He probably only has outgoing satellite on the boat because he wants to be off grid and not talk to her. Joss asks Carly if this was HER idea to make her CEO. 

Danny and Scout are horseplaying like regular siblings at the pool and Drew walks out and tells Danny to BACK IT UP.  Jason walks up and wants to talk to Drew. Drew makes Danny leave. He goes to get a burger at Bobbie's. Scout pouts. Jason tells Drew he's out of the mob. Drew doesn't believe him.

Scout is crying by the pool. Rocco comes in and she says she can NEVER SEE DANNY again! Sniff. 

Brook and Chase went to Gregory's bench (off camera) with Phoebe. THey are now in the Q kitchen. Chase is SO HAPPY they are being honest with each other. Then Trina and Gio come in and Chase is going to make sandwiches for everyone. They talk about music. Trina talks about the trial. Brook looks guilty.

Jacinda tells Michael she slipped something into Willow's drink."It's only MOLLY" she says. Michael's mad..gets up and runs out of The Metro

Willow takes off with the kids. Michael comes to the apartment and Willow's dancing around being a fool. Wiley wants to go to the arcade. Note: Yuri was supposed to watch the kids but he's on a date with Terry. The nanny is sick. Michael sees the coffee, sends the kids to bed. Tells Wiley they will all do something together as a family soon. The kids leave for bed. Michael puts Willow on the couch. She says he's being nice. She likes it when he's nice and they are friends. 

END: 

Anna finds out where Britt is living from Felicia. Peter is happy

Jacinda calls to check on Willow...Michael looks mad

Drew tells Jason to stay away and keep Danny away

Valentin wants to help with Joss' company but she is going to ask Michael's advice. 

Sunday Surgery: Land of Confusion

 

If I was a betting woman I'd say there's some big ol shake ups happening at GH right now (or about 3 months ago). I don't know anything but--damn. This show is in freefall-flux at the moment and I'm gob smacked every time I tune in--- and not in a good way. 

Does that iced coffee look disgusting to you? LOL I guess I get my cold brews with foam so that looks like water!! 

Grab what you got and let's GO GO. Note: Just saw how long this is. Buckle up

Just... WEIRD.

 

FRIDAY--already! Whew! Hope your week went well and quickly--Here's to enjoying the weekend. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Liz and Lucas talk about the case at #GH . Lucas says Marty was hard on Joe. 

Court: Curtis is all snotty to Portia. Says THEY are COMING OVER TO SEE THEIR BABY after the trial. Marshall is there. Curtis is pushing it. Says Isaiah better not be there. Marshall steps in and calms people down. Later, Jordan says she's going home so she doesn't rock the boat. Curtis goes to Portia's alone. Isaiah is going to GH.

Stella talks to baby Desi and says she hopes his parents are being civil to each other. (ha). Portia comes home and tells Stella the trial was hard. Marshall and Curtis walk in. Curtis has a heart to heart with the baby about how well he controlled his temper at the trial. 

Joe is swimming. Anna wants to talk to him. (She's all dressed up at the pool). She wants to know about the trial. And what kind of officer he is. AT THE POOL. She wants to know about Cassius/Nathan. "He pistol whipped me" -- LOL She's like he betrayed ALL OF US. Weird scenes but whatever. 

Josslyn meets with Hudson at The Metro Patio. Hudson is with Jasper Jacks enterprises and Joss is the NEW CEO OF JACK'S INDUSTRIES. She's like: NO. He's like: YES-- and she can't call him because he's SAILING THE GLOBE IN HIS SAILBOAT and can't BE REACHED AND SHE'S IN CHARGE OF THE ENTIRE COMPANY. She's like: don't want it. He's like it's a gift! She says no. She tells him she's WSB. Hudson is surprised: A girl like you??

Ava's having lunch with Drew at The Metro. She wants to go after Sonny together. He's mean and threatens her and she thinks he's going to take Avery. WHERE DID THIS COME FROM? Drew gets ANGRY ANGRY--he can't do that !! The Bastard lahahah aoueriou OMG I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. Ava gets up to go to the ladies' room.

Also at the Metro, Jocinda thinks about drugging Willow's coffee. Michael sits down and she tells him she got a restraining order. She says she thinks Willow will have a public meltdown soon. I guess she thinks she was going to have her talk. She leaves. 

Willow at the apartment. She cancels her speaking engagement to spend time with the kids. Goes to do email. Wiley is thirsty...UT OH. Willow takes it from him. They are going in the car. She drinks it. 

Jordan and Anna meet at the pool and say hello--and how are you? You've had a hard time--SO have you...yada yada. Jordan also talked to Molly about the trial. No hard feelings. 

END: 

Willow is bonkers, grabs the car keys to take the kids to the arcade. 

Josslyn says shes' going to talk to her father one way or another.

Ava and Drew are going to team up. 

Curtis and Isaiah basically say if Curtis is acquitted, it's WAR 

I NEED A COCKTAIL AFTER THIS SHOW

Druggard

 

Here I am!! Will I make it the whole show? Not sure--I'm so tired and don't even know why. It's crazy-- Can't sleep at night, want to sleep all day. Did you see the news that Chris McKenna was going to leave GH in the fall? Errol Lewis broke the news and I 100% trust him. Supposedly he'll leave 'in a body bag'. Why they would want to get that information out there is beyond me. Maybe there's enough time to save him? I mean, personally-- not a HUGE fan of Jack BUT These newbies are NOT IT. Plus, he's doing well with Cynthia I think. 

TODAY'S SHOW 

Trial: Portia doesn't want to talk about her seeing Isaiah--she wants to talk about how Curtis assaulted him. They go round and round about her seeing Isaiah and Curtis seeing Jordan but the whole thing boils down to who threw the first punch and she says it was Curtis. Then Drew gets up and says his wife was home and not driving the night of the crash. The detective got it wrong. Isaiah is up. Marty tries to goad him into losing his temper. Then Jordan gets up and says she thinks Isaiah visited her out of GUILT not friendship after the accident. Molly drives home the fact that driving a black BMW and getting paint touched up isn't enough to have a case against anyone. 
Curtis is up next. 

Serena falls into Jack's lap at the pool. She flirts-- asks him if he wants a drink-- he says no thank you. Then she sits in Michael's chair while he swims. Introductions. He's heard of her. She says she's not happy with what he did to her mother. They talk about Michael doing a favor for Maxie and he's going to do what's right for the company and yada yada.

Lucy wants to talk to Laura about Kevin. (they are at Bobbie's)/ Lucy wants Kevin to surprise Serena when he comes home from Ireland and Laura says he's not coming home. Staying for the fall. She's going to visit. 

Jacinda gets pills from Ezra. Needs to take the edge off--she got a restraining order from Willow to stay away from her kids.

Ezra goes in and talks to Laura. She says not to get involved with Jacinda because of Michael and the whole Willow thing. He says Jacinda needs someone to watch her back. He leaves. Brennan comes in. Laura asks why the WSB hasn't gotten Jenz out of PC yet. He says it's a local case, the WSB is letting the DA's office take care of it. 

Willow goes to bitch to Nina about talking to Brennan about how she raises her kids. Round and round about reopening the shooting case. Dumb. She tells Nina she got a restraining order out against Jacinda. DING DONG: Jacinda at the door with Nina's dry cleaning. Both Nina and Willow are out of the room. There are 2 coffees there with their names on them. She's going to drug Willow I believe. 

Dante and Sonny talk about the fact Jason quit the business. Sonny says it's because of Dante in a way (the arrest). Sonny says Dante arrested him at Danny's ballgame and it was horrible. Dante's like: WELP! HE can't believe Jason left Sonny. Sonny says he's a broken man. Dante says maybe he's healed. (good line) He wonders who's going to watch out for Sonny now. Sonny says he's getting out too. 

Jason tells Tracey he quit Sonny. She's happy. They talk about the type of parent he wants to be to Danny. Tracey says that is what Alan and Monica wanted for him. Aww. Jason wishes he could say  sorry to Alan and Monica and OMG YOU HAVE TO WATCH THEIR SCENES. GEESH. SNIFF!! 

END: 

Dante and Sonny hug

Tracey tells Jason there's always enough time to change. She should know

Molly and Marty make closing remarks. 

Jacinda puts the drug in Willow's coffee 

EYEROLL DAY

Sorry I've been so crabby about the new actors on GH BUT WTF!!! Come on now.  You remember Carlos right? ZEXY BADDIE? We've had many over the years and-- what is HAPPENING with the casting? One Wonder Bread Boy after another. And NO acting chops. There.. I got that out. LOL 

TODAY'S SHOW

Tracey wants to take Brook and the baby to NYC so she's out of town for the trial. Brook is feeling too guilty about the whole thing. I think they did this for narrative on the accident. You know to remind us Brook did it.  They keep talking about it. Chase will NEVER FORGIVE HER FOR LYING AGAIN. :eyeroll: 

Lucy tells Serena to get to the pool and charm Michael. "wear your best swimsuit". She says it's Her company and wants control. Serena agrees and goes to change. Then Lucy calls Felicia to come over (to Bobbie's). She's feeling guilty for her reasons for Serena to come home. :eyeroll: that's some 2-26 BS right there LOL. Felicia says Serena can make up her own mind.

Willow and Wiley show up at the pool. Michael and Wiley swim and Wills tells Jacinda to stay far away from her kids. Jacinda says Wiley would be sad if she drowned his mom in the pool HAHA. 

Willow walks to another seat. Brennan comes over. He says they need to be allies now. He says DO NOT reopen the shooting case. Anna will find out the truth; you shot Drew. She says she's willing to take that chance if it means getting her kids :eyeroll: 

The trial is starting .Marty tries to broker a deal with Molly-- she's like um... this is jail time. He says it will tear the family apart. 

In the hall, Isaiah and Curtis are arguing. Jordan and Portia stand there. Lucas tries to calm people down while Joe looks on. Just exhausting. They finally go in. Joe and Lucas talk about having to testify. 

The judge comes in. Molly makes the opening statement that the accident doesn't matter. Punching someone and causing bodily harm does and that's what Curtis did. Marty talks about the accident and Isaiah leaving. OMG HE WASN'T EVEN CHARGED WAS HE? Then Lucas is up saying how bad Isaiah's injuries were. Then Joe says what he saw and Marty says he should have descalated the situation. :eyeroll: Then it's Portia's turn. 

Sonny summons Ava because he thinks she made Ethan leave or got him in trouble. She's like: NO he just left. She said he called from a burner phone and he even hung up before she could give him a piece of her mind. She asks if Sonny asked Ethan to kill Drew and he left. 

END: 

Portia puts the blame solely on Curtis --but Martin asks her about when she had an affair with Isaiah while married to Curtis. 

Sonny threatens Ava :eyeroll: 

Serena comes out and falls into Brennan's lap. Weird. 

STUNT MEN

 

It's another stellar day here! Love the sun

TODAY"S SHOW

Michael, Carly and Joss are in the moss kitchen. Joss tells Michael she's joined the WSB. Carly thinks Michael will be upset but he's like! HEY! CONGRATS! He won't back Carly up and doesn't care she's 'in the field' and undercover. Michael IS upset she got shot and he wasn't around. Pouts.

Marty tells Curtis someone might help him with his court case: In walks Drew. He says he's sorry for the past and really wants to help. Curtis is like: M'kay--SUUURE. Drew says the prosecution wants hi to testify and he's going to help Curtis instead. He's going to recant his statement that Willow could have been driving that night. Curtis is wondering WHY the hell Drew would do this and doesn't believe it could be out of the goodness of his heart. Drew says it's because Scout was living with Alexis and they told her things about him and he doesn't want Desmond to hate Curtis. IT MAKES NO SENSE AND I'M SORRY I HAD TO WRITE IT !! 

Willow, Dr O and Nina have lunch at The Metro. Dr O is suspicious that Drew wants an instant divorce. They talk about Drew and the fact Willow is staying in office until the next election. Doesn't think he'll run again. She wants her own place. Nina says she can stay with her forever. Wills says she'll have the kids soon-- she's getting them from Michael. She's going to Anna and wants them to investigate MICHAEL for Drew's shooting--and... if she doesn't she'll with hold funding. Nina knows she shot Drew so she's like WTF are you doing? Dr O is not even following but thinks it's a dumb plan. Anna's too smart and she'll "hook the bear" if she does it. Willow doesn't care. Nina goes to the 'ladies room"  Dr O tells Willow to leave Nina OUT OF IT.

Ava and Trina meet because Trina graduated (hah) and Ava gives her a folder that says "Jerome-Robinson Gallery" and wants to make her a partner someday. Trina turns her down. Says she has a "new dream". Tells her about singing. Ava is supportive. Trina will work the gallery part time for some cash. Trina asks about Ethan. Ava's like: There is no Ethan. Then Trina gets a call from Simon. 

At the Q's, Alexis arrives with the adoption papers. NEDLY, Olivia and Gio are there too. Everyone leaves but Chase and Brook. They are going to sign and Brook feels badly Phoebe will never learn who her father really is. They sign. Everyone celebrates Phoebe Jacqueline Chase. They'll go to the court house to get things finalized. Alexis says they have nothing to worry about. HAH. 

Oslo, Norway. Ethan YES ETHAN unpacks and HUDSON COMES IN THE ROOM "Where is she"? OMG TWO GUYS THAT CAN'T ACT FOR SH*T are in a FIGHT -- and it's HYSTERICAL. They stop fighting and Ethan tells Hudson that Deliah and the baby died. I can't even write this up but it's SO TERRIBLE.  Hudson beats him and threatens him that he'll kill all of his family if he's lying. Leaves. Ethan gets up, staggers to his phone and calls Ava. She's mad but he says it's about the baby. Hudson put a bug in his room and is listening in. 

END: 

Trina heard Nina's phone all to Brennan about Willow

Hudson heard the whole phone call to Ava

SIMON meets with Brook and tells her he has big plans for Trina/Gio. And.. Simon wonders where they are. Brook is like: they are on their way...then calls GIO. OMG GIO FORGOT! CRISIS!!!!! They have to hurry over! And.. KAI decides to go but Emma isn't going. Weird.

They get to the surf shop. Introduce Kai. Simon won't shake his hand. Simon talks to Britt. Says he thought Gio and Trina were a couple and they are GOING TO SELL THEM LIKE A COUPLE. Marketing and all that. They'd better get on board. He has to get on a plane and leave.

Joss is jogging in the park. Says she can't go to Emma's and meet Trina because she's working. She gets a pain where she was shot and flashes back to her shooting on the docks. 

Nina wants to go to dinner with Brennan but he says he can't. He has an important phone call. They kiss. Joss walks in. Nina leaves. Joss says she's a liability. Tells Brennan all her faults. He yells at her to quit it 

Anna sees Val/Carly...and Peter is standing behind her. She turns and knocks into a waiter. They invite her to sit. She sees the champagne and asks why. They tell her Val's assets are unfrozen. She freaks out. Says the WSB won't let him go. Carly says: NOT TRUE. Joss is getting out too. Anna looks at her like she's crazy. Says probably too late for Josslyn. Says she's sorry she knew before Carly but would have stopped Josslyn if she knew before she joined. She ends up leaving and Val realizes something is off with her. Thinks Faison is still on her mind.

Jason tells Sonny he's out. "Is it Me" asks Sonny--"No it's me" says Jason. Tells him about being on the roof to kill Cullum. Sonny can't believe he had him in his sights and didn't SHOOT. Jason says Brennan was in the way. Sonny's mad he didn't tell him. Jason says he was going to Danny's game and DANTE arrested him! There was no TIME! He keeps telling him about Danny seeing him taken away and something broke in him. HE can't live this life. He can't kill for Sonny anymore. He doesn't want Danny to follow in his footsteps. Sonny says "he already has". Tells him Danny wanted to join Sonny to take care of Cullum but he stopped him. Then-JASON SINGS SONNY'S PRAISES for all the wonderment over the years and both CRY BIG TEARS and this is the biggest break up in Soap-Love History I've seen in a LONG TIME. Cripes LOL Jason wants Sonny's "BLESSING" to leave

END: 

Brook says she can fix things with Simon 

Ric still stalks Liz at the park

Pintrest Trina board pops up and someone is editing her photos on the computer

Sonny and Jason have a sad goodbye. (hahahha...it's SO OVER the TOP!)

Sunday Surgery: FOUL BALLS

 

I've thought about how I'd approach this week's blog many times and I still don't know how it will turn out. My last post was titled "Chaos" and I should have saved it for this blog. I going to make a confession: I'm too old for these shenanigans to happen all in one damn week. I have whiplash. 

Since GH is going with Softball as a theme, I chose to honor that in the title. So: PLAY BALL! 

Get some scrambled eggs and pretend they are my brain and let's GO GO!! 

Chaos.

 

YESTERDAY'S SHOW: NOPE that's not Serena, it's Justine Lupe from Nobody Wants This. I also thought she had some Nicole Kidman vibes. 

Scotty is in Key West!! So on brand!! 

Tracey and Stella were the gold in the episode and of course Tracey by herself! "Yuri owes me 50 bucks"!! 

There are just too many new characters on for me at the moment. ugh. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

If I get all the newbie characters mixed up, forgive me. Damn, it's TEW MUCH FOR THIS BRAIN!!!!!! 

So, we are in the Southern California park with the softball players. Joe and Dante for the PCPD and Lucas and Liz for GH . ...WHERE IS BRITT WITH THE EQUIPMENT? Then they talk about Lucas looking for an apartment. He's like "I like my room at Ava's, we have martinis every evening". She says find anyone else to live with ---AND JOE runs over to get a ball. WE GET IT. Then Dante comes over. Tells Liz he will help her with her catching. They leave. Joe then asks Lucas how long Dante's been dating Liz. Lucas does a spit take. He's like they aren't but hey, they should! He's better than the guy she's seeing! They talk about sports films and OMG GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!!? Joe is LOOKING FOR AN APARTMENT!! WHATTTTTTTT? (ahahha)

Dante and Liz toss the ball back and forth. Flirty.  Ric walks by and sees Dante helping Liz with her mitt. heh. 

Britt is in GH talking to Dr Tristan and Jason sees them. Tristan walks away and Jason wonders what Britt knows about him. Jason says he's WSB and he saw him on the plane coming back from Jakarta. Britt freaks out. Jason says Tristan BROUGHT HIM BACK --(this is weird because wouldn't the WSB know that?!!). Anyway...he wants to go out on the boat and she can't because of baseball. She wants him to come to the park but Sonny calls and summons Jason to his place. Britt gets Tristan into an exam room and confronts him about being WSB. HE says he's NOT he just worked at medical facility.  She brings up her Hungtingon's disease and how they lied to her and he's like: Sorry lady, nothing to do with me. Tells her to get therapy and drink Decaf coffee. 

Ric is at Sonny's they talk about Sidwell. When he goes to jail, the piers and Wyndemre will go up for auction. ROCHESTER IS MENTIONED! Then Sonny calls Jason. Jason walks in. Sonny wants Ric and Jason to make nice. They shake hands. Ric leaves. Sonny thanks Jason. Jason says there will never be peace between him and Ric. 

At the Metro, Val planned a dinner with Carly on the patio. She's like: Who's paying, me? HE says NO! My assets got unfrozen. He's going to buy her a big gift. THEN he makes a connection with the black box to Nina and Brennan. He's curious why she would want it. 

At the Pool, Drew lurches around and sees Ava. She's like: WTF! He asks if she's meeting Nina. She says no..she's with... and ETHAN IS GONE after looking @@ at the OTHER NEWBIE THERE. Danny is freaking out seeing Drew. So's Brook. Drew asks Ava how much she knew about Nina and Willow's plan. She says how devoted Willow was and blah blah. He says they are divorcing. Things weren't how he thought they were. Ava leaves. Danny is delivering Drew's ice tea and trips, throws it all over him. Drew erupts and yells. Brook tells him to chill out and not talk to Danny like that. OMG Drew took over-acting steroids today. GEESH

Anna sees Peter, he tells her to kill Britt. Emma walks in.  Anna's all shaken. Emma asks about Joss being WSB. Anna couldn't tell her. Then they talk about Anna's state of mind and Anna says she's going to put 'everything behind her'. 

Ethan is at Lulu's and is taking a bag out. He tells her he's leaving for good. She's like: you can't you work for Sonny Corithos, you just can't leave. He took on Ethan because of their dad and he'd never give him a second chance. Ethan says he has to fulfill  a promise. She's like: I have your back. They hug. 

END: 

Ric sees Liz/Dante talking to Britt and gets jealous

NEW GUY calls Lulu to see if Ethan is there by pretending to be a delivery guy. She says he left the country. 

Anna sees Valentin and Carly making out

Jason quits Sonny. 

SERENA

 BLOG FILLER FOR THURSDAY JULY 20th!! 

Ok, so we are not talking about this Serena. But I loved Elizabeth Montgomery and the TV show Bewitched so I couldn't resist inserting this picture. FUN FACT: Did you know that EVERY female witch on the show had a name that ended with the letter "A"? Go on... start going through the names. I'll wait...

Today we are talking about Serena Baldwin. Carly Shroeder originated the role in 1993. Her parents were Scott and Dominque and she was born through a surrogate, Lucy Coe. Dominique passed away shortly afterwards. In 2017, immediately after the death of Scott's father, Lee Balwin, Lucy had Serena return to Port Charles to spend time with Scotty. Carly, the original portrayer, reprised her role for that storyline. 

Now we are in 2026, and the role is being recast with Kelly Kruger. Serena is 33 years old, and Kelly is 44. I don't know if they will age the character or keep her in the mid to late 30s. 

Either way will work for me.

I have read so many crazy rumors on the web, and each one is crazier than the next. Even Karen and I can't make this stuff up. 

She will be romantically paired with Jason. She bursts through Deception boardroom and takes over (I'm picturing Alexis from Dynasty.) She is pregnant with Ethan's baby. She walks thought the door with Sam. She knows Valentin. Scotty returns with her. Tristan and Serena have a past and he is dangerously obsessed with her. She has a toddler son. 

As always, they are not really revealing what her storyline will be. The only fact that I do know is that Cody is her step-brother and that should be an interesting bond. However, we all know that writers like to re-write history. Kelly has a soap history herself being on Bold and the Beautiful and Young and the Restless. They should give her a decent storyline based on those acting creds.

Tune in tomorrow...

Karen Adds:  (Yes, that's my face 99% of the time now!) 

I think Serena should be a WITCH. Yep. Do it up like they did with Caleb on Port Charles. We could use a little magic on GH! 

Mini Surgery Rant

 Saw this on Twitter. It’s the 45 people that are in the opening credits of the show. 45. What are they thinking? and they just keep adding....

PS--I'm out of the office today and probably the next 2 after that. Please put your comments on today's show in each filler blog! Thank you

James, Kristina and Cassius are gone . We've added Tristan, Quinn, Simon, SORA'd Scout, Serena, Hudson and... Joe. Three of those are contract players. Not sure what's going on with Carlo Rota or JPS at the moment. But dang--YES, GH's canvas is just a sea of faces. 

It hit me the other day we hadn't seen Michael in so long, I forgot about him. They don't seem to have much use for Jacinda, do they? *sigh* . I suppose his new Deception shares will give him more to do. 

While I appreciate the fact we need new characters now and again, I'm just flabbergasted at all of the influx at this time. Joe the cop is a bust--so BLAND. Simon, who could have been ANYTHING is another bland guy. Copy that to Tristan. Another doctor when you could have recast TJ? I guess Serena is at least a 'legacy character' but dang. Getting rid of Maxie's entire family sucks imo, especially with her rich history and the fact we love James and Spinelli. What about Georgie??! She's a TEEN! I'm not even looking forward to "Hudson" who's due to come on at some point. I'm glad to see Quinn in a way because that 20something set sure needs a boost. 

They really should be tightening up the families on this show and creating new drama for the existing players.  Stories take too dang long to tell because there's just so much bulk involved. It's taken almost a month to get every character up to speed on the whole "who knew what when" in the Cold Fusion story. Well, except for Liesl who's only on a day or two here and there. You'd think Britt could at least be living with her right? 

Also-- we need to see Brad, Terry, Yuri, N'neka and Deanna around. They are the colorful background characters that really fan everything out. We know they don't cost an arm and a leg, they are day players. 

UPDATE: And yesterday we got a whole new Ethan. An actor who by all indications has NONE o Ethan's qualities. Remember when they tried to have him be all blonde? At least he had an Aussie accent. This guy could have looked zexy-dashing-- but... Cody Lite? Why? WHYYYY!!? No sparkle, no anything. I was thinking of Maura who had to switch partners when TC left that first time as well. Yes, she's a true professional. 

Just looked him up.. he's a stuntman making his "daytime debt"... and he's BRITISH. Why the hell not have him keep the accent? Or at least do an Aussie one? We know Brits can do them! 

DEALING WITH DREW

 

Didn't think I'd be here but--I am!! I will hopefully be traveling tomorrow but we shall see-- things have gone a bit wonky. 

TODAY'S SHOW (here's hoping no new faces, right)?

Meanwhile on the boat dock. Gio's all "OMG Drew can swim really well !! AND HE WAS WALKING AND TALKING" ......PFFFFFFFT. Cripes! OH! Get this, Drew didn't want to go to GH so Gio put a towel on the seat and drove him home. Nina and Brennan are like: UT OH. They try to call Willow then run off the docks. 

Willow sees Drew's dirt on the floor. He is at the door "HI HONEY, I'M HOME"! She looks at him like he's a zombie. He says 'I've been dreaming about this moment for MONTHS". Willow's like: HUH? HOW? He says he's going to talk and she's going to listen and blink like he had to "While You still CAN"!!  OMG Cam M is having the TIME OF HIS LIFE with these lines! ahahahaha. WOW. You have to watch it He's so GLAD THEY ARE ALONE-TOGETHER and he tells her her mother pushed him off the docks. Willow asks if he's going to kill her. He says no, but she will wish he had. Says she'll go to jail forever and Michael will get the kids and they won't know her anymore. She tries to grab something to fight him. He says: you think you can take me? She's like: you've not been walking for awhile--then Brennan and Nina bust in. Brennan has a gun on him. He tells him that he has evidence he bribed the German nurse, misused funds and gave money to a judge that turned up dead. Drew says: FINE! Turn me in, it will be worth it to get YOU ALL. Anyway, they talk about Drew/Scout--jail yada yada. Willow says we forget everything in the past-- you give me a divorce and I take nothing. Nina says: Yeah, and you don't run for congress again. Deal? 

Carly and Sonny are talking in her kitchen. Jason walks in. Carly hugs him, so does Sonny. He's sorry he didn't come right over but he needed to be with Danny. They talk about the fact Rocco shot Cullum. Carly didn't know. He tells them all about that night on the docks. Then Sonny talks all about his Sidwell thing and the ADA being taken by him and how he saved her. Jason is confused as to why Sidwell would take her and not Ava. Sonny says: Ava's too much trouble. hahaha

Joss goes to The Metro Pool to meet Trina. Guess they are all pal-pal now. Oh Emma's there. Joss isn't happy. She tells Emma she's working at the WSB. Emma gives mad face. Wants to know if her grandmother knows that Joss is WSB. She says yes but she was undercover. Emma goes off on her and says the WSB is BAD BAD...and wants Trina to tell Joss that too. Trina says she loves Joss and wants her to be happy. Joss goes and answers her phone. Then Gio comes in and tells Emma and Trina that Drew is walking and talking.

The kids are at the Qs: Danny, Char and Scout. Danny's going to live there with Jason. Rocco walks out and is not happy. Oh wait they are all cool with each other now, it's allllllll good. Danny wants to take the boat out to the island that Scout swam to-- Rocco says bad idea. Scout doesn't want to go. Danny and Char take off. Scout and Rocco talk about her swimming for charity. 

Marshall comes to see his grandson and meets Isaiah. Marshall is all: You look so good!! To Portia. He says he missed Curtis' boyhood but won't miss Desmond's...he will be around. 

END: 

Danny and Char went to the island and back in 4 minutes lol 

Drew says he'll make the deal. Willow takes off her ring and drops it. "Freedom" She's leaving and Drew says under his breath "enjoy it while you can you treacherous bitch"... 

new FACE

 

SO, It's MONDAY and Drew is in the lake and... I think we know he's not gonna die, right? Probably can swim at this point. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Another fine shot of Drew going into the lake. We see Nina crying and hesitating calling anyone. Then she yells for Drew.. DREWWWWWWWWW. AND RUNS ahahahahaha.

Britt slaps Jason but only to get him into an exam room. She's on probation and doesn't want to get in trouble (it's stupid). She missed him, he missed her. He's home for good. They hug. She tells him she doesn't have Huntington's. They hug. She says she did do horrible things and Marco is dead because of her all for nothing. 

WELL SADDLE UP BECAUSE... ETHAN is now being played by some OTHER GUY-- who has sandy hair and ISN'T AUSTRALIAN AND WTF IS HAPPENING. Good GOD this show... He's talking to Ava at The Metro but.. I just can't deal. He looks like Cody and I think it's his first day acting. They talk about Phoebe and the 'real father'...He can't tell her because the guy is DANGER. :eyeroll: Then Ava says Phoebe is where she needs to be. She goes to leave and HE TOUCHES HER WRIST. UGHHHHHH this can NOT HAPPEN. Gross.

Valentin gives the black box to Brennan. Brennan finds the info on Drew but Nina runs in and says she killed him. Says she pushed him into the lake after he talked to her and she lost it. Didn't call 911, just ran. PLEASE help me cover it up. They leave.

Valentin and Joss talk about her getting the charges dropped. He thinks she did it partly because he saved her life. 

Gio is singing to baby Phoebe. Brook walks in. Awww, adorable. They talk about nothing.

Gio goes swimming and sees something in the lake.

Chase goes to get Willow to talk about Sidwell. She's like: I'm in the middle of something, say you couldn't find me, ok? She finally says she will go. They ask her why Ezra said she had meeting with Sidwell. She lies that it was about his company and they'd better not hold her there. She stomps off. . 

Chase and Brook talk about Willow going into the PCPD and that he might get his detective job back again. She's happy. 

END: 

BRITT AND JASON LOVE EACH OTHER! 

Gio tells Nina and Brennan Drew is ok, he swam out of the lake HAHHAHA

Willow goes home and sees dirt on the floor. Then Drew is in the DOORWAY! Dun dun DUN. 

Sunday Surgery: Hell On Wheels

 

Roses are red
Violets are Blue
Who's going in the lake Drew? 
OH! It's YOU!

I guess we did get a real "lake-hanger" on Friday at least! Cam Mathison has sat in that chair long enough. The lake will either revive him or send him into a coma.

 This week had more newbies, a St. Jaysus re-return and softball mentions.

Grab your best breakfast and let's GO GO! 

Can You Swim?

 

It's Friday already... and I can't tell you what happened much of tis week!! A LOT of talking for sure. I also feel like shoving Quinn and Simon in there on top of Tristan and Joe is just too much for my pea brain to take in at this juncture.

OH WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GOOD OL' FASHIONED "on the run" SUMMER STORIES? 

This Sunday Surgery might be a bitch-fest 

TODAY'S SHOW:

Britt isn't showing up to GH on time. Liz isn't happy, wants Lucas to stay until she gets there. Then they talk about Lucas finding a place to live. BUT! Liz sees that Felicia is helping Maxie move so she has to go talk to Willow about why the hell she hasn't done the communication board for Drew yet. 

Joss and Britt are actually in Brennan's office. Brennan tells Britt she'd better play ball with the WSB or else. She has no clue where the black box is. They let her go. Joss is dressed like a Men in Black character. Jack asks Joss if SHE SAW the box. She says nope. Then asks if HIS secrets were in there. 

Britt goes into GH and snipes with Lucas *sigh*. Snipe Snipe. Lucas says she's as entitled as ever. 

Alexis is in Bobbie's meeting with Valentin. He apologizes to her about having the authorities question her when he was on the run. She tells him to behave. He says he wants to take back what is his. She says Ace is the heir-- and he says no his assets that the WSB took.

Scout talks to Drew about her swimming. Then Rocco comes out with a drink for her--then Danny gets there and brings Jason. Rocco isn't happy. Jason looks like Johnny Cash. Scout wants Drew to start a "new chapter" now.  Then he takes Rocco on a walk to talk. 

Jason tells Rocco about talking to Danny and Danny was wrong to go to the WSB. He also doesn't think Rocco will get arrested, it seems to be over. Rocco is still upset but Jason said the WSB treated him so badly because of HIS past...not because of the shooting. Rocco says Britt was the one that understood him.

Dante wants Chase to bring Willow into the station. He wants to trust Chase again. They might even be partners at some point.

Liz goes into Willow's office and confronts her about not contacting the communication board people. She wonders if she doesn't want Drew to communicate. Willow basically says it's a strain on their marriage and having him talk thru a machine would be awful. Anyway, Liz sets an appointment up for next Tuesday. Leaves. Brennan calls Willow and says he can't find the box and he's going to get a plane for her and her kids to disappear tonight. 

Willow calls Nina. Tells her she's leaving the country and getting new IDs and she can go too if she wants to. Nina is shocked. Then she walks back out to the docks. Scout and Danny leave. Nina stares at Drew. 

END: 

Liz told HR about Britt being late. 

Chase goes to Willow's office to take her into the PCPD

NINA TOSSES DREW INTO THE LAKE!!!!!! BAHABHAHAA 

Deception

 

Another stellar day here! Clear skies and in the 70s with sun! Nights are cool which is awesome. This is a decent stretch. 

POOL: Gio and Emma AGAIN. Geesh Boring meets boring. They make out. Charlotte walks up. Emma likes her suit! Char mentions Gio saving a little boy last week and how wonderful he is. Emma heard nothing about it. Oh brother. This is painful.

Sonny comes over to Rocco who's folding towels. He wants to talk to him. He tells Rocco he knows about Cullum and he's sorry he went thru that. He's there to talk to Rocco whenever needed.

Laura and Dante talk about the Rocco mess. She says Anna is digging for evidence which is not good.  Anna's suspicious there's NO evidence at ALL. Dante tells Laura he destroyed it. Tells her the whole story. She says that she probably would have done the same thing. Sonny talks to Laura next. He tells her what Ric said. She says there might be a loose end; Anna.

So, Anna's back in her office and sees Chase. Wonders why he's a beat cop now. She yells at him about undermining the Willow case and focusing on Michael. He makes excuses. He says he still thinks he did it. Anna says she's not sure she can trust him anymore. Then they talk and she says she can help him get to detective again but he has to get evidence of a Britt/Cassius/Cullum conspiracy. Dante goes in and tells Anna about the evidence being lost on his watch. Anna switches gears and says: Well, maybe we should DROP IT THEN. 

Tracey is trying to call Maxie --so is Lucy. Maxie divested her shares of Deception. They are all mad and Maxie isn't calling back. blah blah They figure out they have no idea who Maxie sold her shares to. OH! It's MICHAEL! He got her shares. Lucy is major pissed because he's a Quartermaine.

 CODY and Molly talk about Spinelli getting a job in Australia and the whole family moving there. WELP. There ya go. Temp james comes into Bobbie's with Fe and Mac to say goodbye. James only talks to Molly. They go to look at photos of WOMBATS. Mac thanks Cody for telling James the truth and they need to fix things before he leaves. Cody shows James a video of a mare having her baby last night in the stable. James is all happy. They fist bump. All looks well. 

Alexis, Drew, Michael, Nina and Willow are at the boathouse to watch Scout swim. Nina and Willow go in the boathouse to whisper about Drew. Alexis and Michael talk about him like he can't hear them lahahahaha. Drew makes a fist. Willow and Nina talk about the black box. Nina wants to run with the kids. Willow says no. She'll have to find another way. Willow figures out that Nina slept with Brennan. 

END: 

Anna's not going to get in the middle of the investigation. Dante leaves. Peter says good, you figured it out, now go after BRITT

Scout gets out of the water and Alexis tells her not to put his wheelchair too close to the edge. Nina gives an evil grin

DEAL

 

HUMP DAY!  How you feeling about the show? Me? Slow wheels are turning for sure. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Lulu and Dante are still talking about Charlotte visiting Valentin. Dante says she really should let her choose where to live Lulu thinks it will bring them further apart. 

Carly and Val kiss and then she puts the zip drive into a drawer to hide it from him. They talk about Nina and Brennan being at Wyndemere. He thinks they were looking for the black box and it's probably Jack's. He needs leverage to get his funds back to fight for custody. 
Lulu comes to the door. Tells them both she thinks Charlotte should decide who she lives with. Valentin is wary: WHY? YOU talk to you mother? She's like, no, why should I? she just did soul searching and thinks it's best. BUT they can't live at Carly's and not in a hotel suite. He agrees.

Isaiah is visiting Portia and the baby. Curtis watches through the window. Curtis walks in, Isaiah leaves. Curtis holds his tongue and says he's just happy to see the baby. They try out names: Nathanial? Nope..Miles ...NOPE.. then Curtis says he can give them a ride home. He'd also like to stay the night. Portia says: BOUNDRIES and no overnights. Curtis agrees.

Britt bitches about all her extra work to Stella. Stella says some patient just requested her. Portia wants  her to check her over for discharge. Britt and Stella continue to argue about Britt's duties while she's on probation.

Curtis is filling out paperwork for Portia's discharge and Stella and him talk about the baby and he's trying not to provoke Isaiah.

Britt comes in to give Portia her exam. Portia says she thought Britt could use a friend. Portia is okay and they have a friend convo about second chances. 

Michael and Jordan are in Aurora's gym/yoga room. She wants to know about the clinic and Michael says it was great for his burns but so hard to get into. Brennan had to call in a favor. She says Sidwell said he would but she turned him down. She says it was a good decision. 

The record producer Simon comes to talk to Brook, Gio and Trina. They don't want them as a duo, they want to sign them alone mostly because Gio is already well known. They are stunned. Simon steps out so they can talk about it. Gio is like NO WAY I won't do it without Trina!! Trina's like: YOU SHOULD! He called you BRILLIANT! They call Simon back in and say no deal unless you sign both of us.

Brennan and Anna are in the PCPD room. They talk about her disappearance and he should have known something was up. She's trying to find a Cassius/Cullum timeline and thinks there's a bigger conspiracy going on. Bunch of stuff about Sidwell/Cullum..and why Cullum would want to use Faison to drive her crazy. Also: Who shot Cullum? Brennan says he knows who did it. Then he says it's classified info. Anna brings up the missing evidence on the docks shooting. Things Cullum took it. Brennan says nope, Cullum was looking for it. 

Then ..Kai is meeting with his long lost friend in the Surf Shop place. Quinn is is friend from the football team and was on before. Kai says Quinn has to apologize to Trina before they can hang out again. Trina walks in, sees Quinn. Gives him the eyeball. He apologizes, Trina accepts

END: 

DESMOND ROBINSON is the baby's fist and middle name.

Brennan tells Anna to let the truth of the shooter go ...it will just hurt someone that just wanted to help.

Peter pops up and asks Anna why she didn't ask him about Britt. 

Quinn watches Trina and Kai kiss--then they pan to his obsessive Pintrest type board with Trina's photos all over it. Ut OH STALKER! OR is the Stalker SIMON because he was saying "Trina is the one to watch"?? 

I don't know! Someone on Bluesky said that

Softball Talk

 

HELLO!!! Here we are again!! It's going ok here but we are due for bad storms. If I leave abruptly it's because I'm afraid for my life lol haha. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

POOL: Gio and Charlotte. Lulu walks up. Charlotte looks like she's going to throw up. Rolls her eyes. Tells Lulu she wants to live with Carly.  Lulu's like: NO WAY. Charlotte starts mouthing off so Lulu leaves. Charlotte tells Gio she thinks her mother hates her. Gio says no and they talk about parents, then music and he tells her his playlist BUT!! EMMA walks in and Charlotte looks mad lol. Emma and Gio go sit on the other side.

Anna's back at the PCPD shadowing Dante for a few weeks to get up to speed. She meets Joe and wants info on the whole Sidwell case. She wants stuff on Britt too. I think that's her target --the revenge that Peter is talking about. Dante says he realizes how hard it is to come back after a difficult absence and he's there for her. She starts to tell him when LULU walks in and interrupts. She's there to interview Anna because the PR team thought it would be a good idea. BUT Lulu starts to ask about Anna's relationship with Robin, especially after Robin's kidnapping. She's asking as a mother. . Anna tells her it's hard because she was gone so long but to keep being there for Charlotte no matter what and soon it will be behind them. Lulu cries, says she has to reschedule and thanks Anna. Leaves. 

Later, Anna's going through the files and finds that the ones about Cullum's shooting are missing. Joe goes to check on them.

At GH, Liz and Stella laugh with Dr Tristan. Britt walks off the elevator and sees him. Lucas is like: Um, he's the new cardiologist. She is not happy. Tristan tells her the room is available Carly gave him the same rate at The Metro and it's more to his taste. Then Liz comes out to get Britt to go in and talk about her job. They say the board is willing to hear Britt's side of the story. Start with locking Liz in the closet. She apologizes...they bring up all she did in a year that was bad. Liz says she DID deliver Phoebe and that was a miracle. They DO give her job back but on probation and with a bunch of extra work. SHOCKER. You knew it was going to happen.

Lucas tells Tristan he should join the GH softball team to get to know everyone. 

ADA and Sonny talk about softball teams. He asks her if Valentin has any outstanding charges against him. When he mentions Carly, ADA gets pissed and he's like DONNA ! IT'S DONNA I'm worried about. He tells her Carly hid Valentin the whole entire time he escaped. She's like: WELP! The WSB cleared him so...too bad. No outstanding warrants either. He basically wants her to manufacture something against him and she gets angry. This whole talk is just DUMB btw. UGH. They end up making out. 

Valentin goes in to see Laura. She hopes he's on the straight and narrow. He says he is. He wants help with Charlotte. Laura's like, um you need to admit you made Charlotte's relationship with Lulu worse. She says to back Lulu up once in awhile and maybe she'll help him a bit. 

Lulu goes to the Qs and Dante says Rocco wants to stay there longer because things aren't good between him and Char. Lulu's like NO WAY!

Brick goes to see Carly. They are in the kitchen. Moss isn't happy. Brick is all: Stay away from Valentin! He's BAD!! BAD!! Carly says he saved Joss and got Cullum. Brick says that doesn't excuse his other past deeds.  He has a flash drive she could use if she ever wants to get free of him. She says no, she doesn't need it.  He leaves and we don't know if he gave it to her or not. 

Val comes into the kitchen. Carly tells him about Brick offering her all of his WSB bad secrets. 

END: 

Carly DID take the flash drive from Brick! 

Anna figures out someone took all the records about the Cullum shooting. Laura flashes back to Lulu talking about Rocco shooting him.
