A Brief Ode to Emma

 I won't be here for Tuesday's show because I'm at my Dad's. He's doing SO much better so thank you for all of your thoughts. He's having me do a bunch of errands and back to his old self!! Please use this blog to comment on today's show. Let me know if I should watch say: YEAH or NAH ! THANK YOU 

Born on November 4, 2008, Emma Drake came into the world the daughter of Robin Scorpio and Patrick Drake, both doctors at GH. In a little plot twist, Robin was going to use an anonymous donor her child's father but ended up sleeping with Patrick shortly after Georgie's funeral. 

Emma was mostly played by Brooklyn Seltzer until Braedyn Bruner took over the role in December of 2024. While Brooklyn did a great job as younger Emma, I'm really happy with the recast. 

One of the most memorable stories involving Emma and Robin was Robin's PPD. She had severe symptoms and ended up leaving baby Emma up in a tree one day when she couldn't take it anymore. 

Younger Emma had epic Nurses Ball numbers!! 

Emma and Spencer spent a lot of time together. Cameron was in the mix and a young Josslyn! Yep!  Cam the fire-bug set Wyndemere ablaze!! Good Times. 

The Quad. This was Nikolas, Lucky, Liz and Emily 2.0 in the making. Frank loved his kids. Some people didn't really enjoy their shenanigans but I sure did. 

After Robin and Patrick moved to California, Emma went with them. She did visit Anna from time and time though and we got to see BS grow into a young woman. When she was replaced, I wasn't so sure I could accept it. I have to say that Braedyn really has remolded the character and I can't imagine anyone else doing the job. I'm hoping she's JUST taking like a week off or something because losing Emma at this point would be awful!! I don't think we are but one never knows with GH lately. 

CHEERS TO EMMA DRAKE! Would you like to see Noah follow? I mean, he could be SORA'd to 18!

Monday, Monday-- I made it.

 

If you know the Mamas and the Papas, you know that song! Not sure what's happening today --if I'll be here or not. It's break week and I'm back in my hometown. Part of me wants to see the Maxie wake up and what happens with Lucas and Marco so I'll try! 

IF NOT--I shall be here in Spirit!! I know I'll probably be out tomorrow and Thursday. Next Monday too-- Lordy. I'm not the best blogger out there am I? lol. Too much to do in the real world. At least (So far) I can keep up with Sunday Surgery. 
Hope to see you at 2!! Well, or when I post at 3pm/est! 

I'M HERE!! 

Brown Dog: 

Brook and Chase. They are going to be together "forever". HA, meaning they are not. Chase wonders how Maxie is going to react to Nathan. 

Carly and Jason. She's mad that Sonny talked to Ric about the custody case and Michael signed it. 

Jason gets a text from Spinelli. Spinelli comes in and tells them that Maxie is alive. Carly leaves. Spin tells Jason he's scared because Nathan is alive.  Jason tries to reassure him. Spinelli is still worried.  Jason gets an emoji text from Britt. 

Ax Throwing; 

Michael and Jacinda. She's a good ax thrower. Michael is NOT. 

Ric and Liz. Liz is not thrilled.  She finally says she'll stay. She's good at throwing too. 

Metro: 

Sidwell/Lucy and Ava. They snipe at each other. Talk about the painting he's buying. Lucy wants them all to be friends. Yada yada. 

Carly comes in later and says hello to the whole table. Says hello to Sidwell and thanks him for letting her apologize to him. 

Davis Girls talk about Molly's book. Krissy says how great it is, Molly says she's not going to publish it. Molly says Kristina sent it in without her knowing. Krissy says Molly won't publish it because of Cody. 

Ava and Alexis meet in the hall. Alexis asks Ava if Sidwell is worth Lucy's wrath. She says she got burned by Ric and she needs a better kind of man. 

Alexis goes home, the girls to to throw axes. Oh Brother. 

Hospital:
 
Britt, Dr O and Nathan. Dr O tells them Maxie is awake. He doesn't want to call her. Dr O is like FREAKING OUT --CALL HER CALL HER! Britt says no, she might not even know he's alive. Nathan wants to wait because of James. Dr O sees the light and says to wait. 

Later, Dr O goes to the Brown Dog and orders schnapps. Sits with Spinelli and thanks him for taking care of Maxie and the family but it's no longer necessary now that Nathan is here. LOL 

Boston Hospital:

Maxie can't believe Nathan has been in town 6 months. Me either. Felicia said that Anna checked. DNA, Fingerprints and OPENED UP THE GRAVE?? It was EMPTY? Um I do not remember that! Then Felicia tells her Britt is alive too and no is sure if it's all due to Faison. They talk about Britt being back and Nathan meeting James. 

Parapet/Wyndemere

Lucas tells Marco he never really knew him. He tells him that he knows about the project and making Britt do things. Lucas yells and screams Marco says that it was his father doing all of that Lucas says he's an idiot for trusting Marco. Goes to leave Marco grabs him. Lucas says it's all a life and he's been manipulated. Marcos says he loves Lucas. Says everything is because of SONNY because he killed his mother. He wants Justice. Lucas says no, revenge. Marco says not more than he wants Lucas. Tries to beg him.

SOME CABIN: 

Jason meets Britt. He understood her text. She lights a fire. They go to make ze wub. 

END: 

Spinelli and Dr O toast to true love

Lucas hugs Marco.. but is he really or is this a plan? 

Nathan calls Felicia. Maxie wants to meet with him, they are coming home tomorrow. He looks ill. 

Sunday Surgery: Sleeping Beauty

 

I was here all this week! That hasn't happened in awhile. I'm still on my "lackluster" tour when it comes to the show but there were a few highlights to go over. 

Grab anything you want, just make it shareable! I need some snacks. Let's GO GO! 

Guess What

 

Friday the 13th people!! How you all doing? I'm looking forward to our Winter BREAK next week even tho I'll be at my Dad's most of the time, at least no work. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Maxie asks people what is wrong: "Do I have bed head"? They tell her she had a heart attack and she's in Boston in the hospital. Spinelli sees her, runs and hugs her. Then the doctor talks to Spin and Felicia. Maxie is GREAT.. enzymes are AWESOME! No side effects from the coma! It's a miracle!! Felicia tells Spin she wants to tell Maxie that Nathan is alive. They go in. James mentions Dad wanting to ride horses (he means Nathan). Felicia hustles them out and Spin talks to Maxie. She's so glad he's there. Spinelli tells her that Lulu and Brook Lyn are getting along now. She can't believe it. The kids and Spinelli leave for home. Felicia calls Mac and he's coming. She stays with Maxie. 

Lucy goes to visit Sidwell. She wants to get in good with him so she can bring him back down. He listens to her say she shouldn't have made him choose between her and Ava. Sidwell makes her a drink. Asks her to go to The Metro for dinner. 

Marco gives Britt her shot while they are in the lab. She says she has to make sure her meds are stored safely. He says he has to ask his father. Then Britt brings up him lying to Lucas and says it will not end well. They are making a WEAPON! Lucas won't like that. LOL She says she had to work for her dad too but he has a choice. Marco says he has his reasons. They just talk and talk. He tells her to just finish the project so they can all move on.

Lucas sees Liz getting ready for a date with Liz. He's still crabby about what he heard at Wyndemere. LIZ LOOKS GOOD NO scrubs! Lucas tells her everything he knows about Marco is a lie. Says they are making people do things they don't want to.. yada yada. Liz says she can tell Marco really loves him. They keep talking. Liz says Wyndemere is a danger and he has to move out...tonight. 

Lulu won't kiss Nathan. They go back and forth....forth and back....back and forth. SO don't care. Brook interrupts them right before they might. Nathan leaves.  She puts Bailey Lu upstairs and confronts Maxie about liking Nathan. Lulu says they do have feelings for each other. Brook says that Lulu is Maxie's BFF and Dante is Nathan's and it's bad news. 

Nina thought Jacinda and Michael has zex in the office but he only spilled coffee on his shirt and she got him a new one. Nina got a nice bob. I like it. Michael talks to her and hopes she'll go lightly on Jacinda because he is letting Willow see the kids. He leaves. 

Ava comes to Crimson. Talks to Jacinda a bit. Then she goes into see Nina to talk about Sidwell. She says there's a spark.  Nina says for the record she doesn't like Sidwell but Ava does have a certain glow...

END: 

Lulu finds out Maxie is awake. Tells Brook.

Sidwell takes Lucy AND Ava out for dinner. 

Felicia tells Maxie that Nathan is alive. 

NEXT WEEK: 

Ric is on with Liz

Marco puts his hands on Lucas when he tries to leave

POP UP

 

HELLO! I'm here!! 

CURTIS IS THE FATHER! He and Trina are excited. Portia and Isaiah are... not.  Portia and Curtis talk. Brook Kerr is awesome in these scenes. He wants to finalize the divorce and go for 50-50 custody. One week on, one week off. Portia agrees. Portia then finds Isaiah in the shower at GH and he walks out in a towel. He's going to dress, then they can talk. She wishes the baby was his. So does he but he still wants to be with her. They kiss. 

Trina and Ava have coffee and they talk about the situation. She wants Trina to try to trust her mom again. Wise Woman advice. She tells her about Kiki and how she never should have walked away from her. 

Chase is having a tea party with Amelia who's so damn old lol OMG NO IT'S BAILEY LU! WTF! okay then! Chase is going into work his first day as a patrolman. They talk about adoption but Brook STILL ISN'T READY because..GIO. :eyeroll: Gio walks in and wants to hang out with her and Bailey. He tells Brook about Emma going to CA and then France. He's afraid she might move back to San Fran. Brook says not to worry. He will sweep her off her feet at some point. 

Maxie is laying in her bed...Georgie and Felicia are doing her nails. She's got some mascara on. lol James reads her a valentine's card from Bailey Lu. Felicia says she can hear them and feel the love. James talks to her alone. GAH. He tells her he's only been in the ER once since she's been gone and it wasn't that bad. Also a girl wanted him for a Valentine in his class and he said no because his mom was. Georgie cries to Felicia about missing her mom. Felicia cries too. 
James is still talking to Maxie. Then Georgie goes in then Felicia. Felicia holds her hand and cries. 

Of course, Nathan has to go to Lulu's because they need to have angst when Maxie wakes up. OMG he has to bring Valentine's day treats and has no idea what to get. Lulu will help him. They get back from the store and Lulu is all uncomfortable with Sexy Nathan standing by. He talks about them dating. They will 'take it slow'. 

Dante called Jordan into the office to talk about Anna. She can't believe she had a break down. Then he crabs about how hard the commish job is and the paperwork and meetings and blah blah. Jordan gets a text from Curtis. She's going to go meet him. Oh she's not gonna be happy.

Dante talks to Chase about not interfering with the case and he needs to take orders. Chase flashes back to Michael's keys and Drew's house. 

Curtis tells Jordan. Oh, she smiles. Hmmm. ok.

END: 

Nathan and Lulu kiss

James, Georgie and Felicia are talking in the hallway and MAXIE IS IN THE DOORWAY telling James HE CAN'T SKATE WITHOUT A HELMET. She's UP and out of BED-- in the DOORWAY... I.. mean.. I'm dying laughing here. 

LAB

 

More snow today.. just keeps coming and coming! Just cold too as you all know. I shouldn't really complain because I HATE the humid heat. So I should just embrace the whole thing!

Carly is at Wyndemere apologizing to Lucas. He doesn't believe her. She tries again. Then he says not good enough. Carly has to try to really get to know him because they want to get their own place in a few months. She then apologizes to Marco. Everyone hugs. Pascal is suspicious. Lucas and Carly leave on the ferry. 

Marco and Sidwell talk about making up with Carly. Marco tells Sidwell that they have to be careful because Carly will be 'snooping around" Wyndemere. Lucas overhears it at the door! He came running in after forgetting something. 

Joss is looking at the Cigs she got from Wyndemere and Trina walks in and asks what she is smoking. Joss says her study partner had them to stay awake at night. Then they talk about Trina having a sibling. Portia calls and says the test results will be "soon".  Later, Jason comes over and she tells him about finding the book and stuff with Cullum. He remembers Britt talking about him. He needs answers. They talk.

Portia wants a paternity test from Britt--now. They do it. Then she has to get a swab from Isaiah to see if he's the daddy. He really wants to be the daddy but he will be there for her if he's not. Meaning he's probably not. 

Jordan and Curtis are getting cozy by the fire. Jordan says Sidwell wants her to find out why the power went out during the blizzard. Portia calls and tells Curtis she got tested. 

Trina goes to the hospital to see her mom and wait with her. Isaiah waits too. 

Danny and Jason talk about Alexis' talk about the Cassadines. Danny tells Jason he kissed Charlotte. They talk about her and the relationship. Did she want you to kiss her? Danny isn't sure "Make sure it was mutual" says Jason. Oh, god how sad to be a teenager now lol. 

Lucy is at Sonny's trying to get him to get 'revenge' on Sidwell because she's mad at him. Sonny is like: I'm not helping you. She tells him she thinks Sidwell is shipping stuff under Deception with no guardrails and might be illegal. He tells her to leave it alone. She says she should get back together with him and THEN pounce! Sonny says that's not a great idea either. 

Charlotte visits Valentin. He figures out she told Danny where he is.  He's not happy. She says he's trustworthy but Nina isn't. Nina was with Brennan making a deal. Valentin is still angry and then Char says she actually told Nina she heard from him. Valentin is like: Damn it! She leaves. 

END: 

Marco and Sidwell talk about Britt being at Wyndemere and her medication and keeping her alive. He's shaken up. Pascal is in the hallway. 

Portia gets the results and opens the envelope. Trina asks who the father is... then the show is over. 

Half and Half

 

Only here for 1/2 the show today!! I will make the most of it... 

FOUR MILLION CHARACTERS ON TODAY.

NAIL SALON: 

Ava and Lucy can continue their bitch fest about Sidwell. I love these two but this is just 

Molly and Kristina talk about Krissy sending her book to the publishers. 

Q HOUSE

Cody is reading a book ...Tracey's like: You're reading a book? (Pride and the Prejudice) 

Danny invited Alexis over to hear all about the Cassadine family. She goes through the whole family line. I'm sure he wants to know where Charlotte is in there in relation to him. She tells him that Valentin's father is Viktor not Mekkos and Danny figures out how far removed he and Charlotte are as cousins. I guess TPTB have decided this is ok in the gene pool! 

HOSPITAL: 

Liz delivers a sub to Portia. Isaiah ordered it. Portia "we just fit together" 

SONNY'S 

St. Jason and Sonny talk about Anna. Yada yada.

CARLY decides to go to Wyndemere instead of Valentin. 

AT WYNDEMERE: 

Pascal is back. Lucas isn't happy. He thinks Pascal is jelly of him and Marco. Pascal calls him a dumb American lol.. Marcus walks out and scolds him. Then he takes Lucas into the living room and makes out with him. 

THAT'S IT

BUT NOTE!! Steve Burton shared he's 'taking a break' from GH until August. Must be nice! Didn't he just get back? I'm sick of all of this lol 

Wubs is 28 (Feb 10)

 

The LukeSon Lounge circa 2001... Angelfire 

WELP... apparently, I started the WUBS Feb 10 1998. That's just CRAZY pants!! Where did it start? Gedstern's Spoiler Site!! Why did it start? I couldn't stand Brender and Jax's frothy romance so I wrote parody scripts and called what they had "WUB". 

Yep, that's the story. I then did Buzz for Buffy's column back when we had actual on-set people that leaked information to the newly minted internet. Things started to change in 2001 after 9/11 and by 2003ish I had my own WUBS NET Site. (ANGELFIRE--HA HA). One of my biggest accomplishments of the time was learning HTML.  By 2009, Blogging was all the rage so I jumped on that bandwagon and here I am. 

Starting on the old AOL messaging boards and then on to SoapZone cut my teeth for early internet and then low and behold, Twitter came along and changed the game for all of us. Now I'm mostly on BlueSky and Facebook. 

I've met actors, head writers, script writers, PR folks and so many just "regular" fine people through this thing called social media. The good, the bad and the ugly. MOSTLY good. So many great friends. So many people that read each day and take the time to comment. Many more just come in for a read or  laugh. 

I've had help too.. Dustin made my WUBS post cards and helped me with PR in the early days. Kristin helped me run Connie Tower's Fan Club. Gedstern gave me my start and Luke from Daytime Confidential had me on the show back when hardly anyone knew my name! Jonathan  K has also had me on his podasts. I've seen people rise in talent:  (Jamey Giddens) and Buzzworthy Radio are just two. My great helpers on here, David and Sonya just keep me going. 

Some of you I've known since you were wee ones--and looking back that's also amazing because this medium sure breaks the age barriers. I've always said if I win the lottery, I'll host the biggest WUBS Nation party EVER and fly you all to Rochester. We can drink LukeSonRitas and eat Feta. 

We can't forget Alberta...the mascot of the WUBS Net. Why? Well, I love lobsters and she came along at the right time to tour with people and meet the actors of GH. Maybe when I have more free time, I'll take her around again! See Alberta's photos on her Page! 

Unfortunately the WUBS Scripts have been lost to the ages. The Angelfire links no longer work and I wasn't smart enough to save them back in the day. 

Anyone remember the Bubble Lamps? 

Social media can be a joy or a curse. I'm leaning into the JOY as much as possible! Here's to another 28 years. Well, maybe not THAT long!! 

CHEERS! 

Anna Day

 

Mornin' -- or AFTERNOON. Geesh, who knows what's going on lately. It's been a long week AND IT'S MONDAY. OY! I've watched ZERO of the Olympics. Just don't even care...weird.  I remember when the games were on like, all day and you just parked yourself. Now it's a puzzle and stupid to try to see things. lol.. 

TODAY: 

Emma and Gio reunite at the apartment. Emma tells him about her grandmother. She cries. Josslyn comes over. She has no idea what's happened. Emma tells her about seeing Anna and what she said about the kidnapping and Faison. Joss asks questions but Gio makes her leave. Joss goes into the hall and pulls out the book about Anna. In the apartment, Emma tells Gio she has to leave Port Charles. She has to go tell her mom (Robin) in California and then she's sure they'll go to France together. He says he'll be there for as long as it takes. Waiting for her. 

Brennan doesn't believe Ross that Anna "broke" on her assignment. He thinks something is up. Ross tells him to focus on finding Valentin.

Valentin and Carly talk about the night Brennan stopped by "we both got lucky he says" AHAHHA Carly shoots him a mean look. He wants to go break into Wyndemere again.  She says she won't know what to tell Charlotte if something happens to him. He says ok...I'll stay. 

Cullum comes over to Carly's. He tells her she's a distraction for Brennan and he has to concentrate on finding Valentin. She's mouthy to him.  He tells her all about Anna. Then he leaves and Carly makes Val a drink and tells her what she was told. He doesn't believe that would have happened to Anna. 

Lucy goes to Wyndemere to see Sidwell but finds Ava there. They are going to have brunch. Lucy and Ava spar. Like back an forth and blah blah blah. Ava leaves. Lucy tells Sidwell that Ava is a criminal. He says he knows her background. She tells him she can't stand Ava and he has to choose between the two of them. Sidwell says he's not going to choose and he's sorry, no one tells him what to do. Lucy leave and says to herself: you'll be sorry! 

Laura, Mac and Dante meet about Anna. Dante can't believe the state Anna is in. He wonders what went wrong. Dante says she says Fiason is alive. They talk about that a bit. Then Mac says he's in Boston a lot with Maxie and thinks Dante should keep Anna's job. Dante hesitates but will think about it. Leaves. Mac talks about Anna and seeing her like that was terrible. Between that and Maxie, he's not feeling very strong. Laura gives him a pep talk. 

Felicia goes to the Qs to tell Jason what Anna's message is...Faison is alive. Jason says: I SHOT HIM. Felicia says "maybe that's why you have to stop him". Felicia says she's having a break down and losing it. He wonders if Faison COULD be alive. She talks about Halloween and then Anna saying that Peter and DR visited her room and she heard Faison on the speaker. She also saw him once, briefly. Jason asks about Robin. Felicia says that Emma is going to tell him. She asks him to talk to Brennan about the situation. Jason says absolutely NOT. 

Dante and Brennan talk about Anna and if she was really on a WSB mission because Anna says she wasn't. 

END: 
Looks like Dante and Brennan are going to exchange info about Anna

Valentin calls France but doesn't get a lot of info-- thinks Anna's in trouble and the WSB did it to her. 

Emma leaves for California. 

Sunday Surgery: Seat of Pants

 

That's right... you all know I was gone all week. I've barely caught up and by that I mean I saw Monday and Friday's shows. ERGO, I thought it might be fun for me to just wing it this week and see how I land! That's always fun, right? Do I want to go back and watch all the shows today? No, it's minus eighty hundred today and I have to work at the food cupboard collecting SOUP for the SOUPER-BOWL! (get it?) So.. without further ADU... here we go go!

FIZZ FOREVER! 

AFTER THE STORM: Monday abruptly shifted to after the storm without any follow up and I wasn't sure how to take it. Did Joss sail back to shore? Was anyone concerned a power station blew up ...or did they just think the storm did it? 

FRANCE-FRANCE UNDERPANTS: (I just want to say underpants! Ha Ha) Oh, we got a treat with the Finola acting!! We also got the OG Felicia and Mac pair showing up. Squee!! The other wonderful thing about all of this? EMMA. My gosh--what a casting find. Those scenes with her grandmother were just perfection. My wish? I really would love for Kim McCullough to come back for a short stint so we can see these three wonders in action. They could even joke about Emma getting her height from Patrick. Anyway, Anna's in a sanitarium and so far, people are skeptical. I think they took her after she 'saw' Faison, drugged her and dropped her in France. Now that she's told Felicia to tell Jason she was right, will he come to her rescue or be too involved with Britt to help? Hmmm.. 

SPIDER WILLOW:  Oh, Willow has just gotten so JUICY as a villain character, hasn't she? I love how she's sort of delusional about her motives for all of this and still thinks she's  good person for shooting someone. "I had to"!! Now, we all know it's DREW so it's a hall-pass on that one but she's still a calculating psycho in the end. Who didn't love her telling Drew she shot him? Who didn't love her pushing that drug into his IV bag while telling him she was keeping him paralyzed? I just want her to have zex with Chase while he watches on closed circuit TV. 

THE KEY TO MY HEART:  Chase. Chase, Chase Chase. Molly was calling CODY a big dumb dog but I'm looking at you, mister. I do have a bone to pick with how things shook out however, especially about the keys. Willow puts a key on Michael's keychain to implicate him in going into Drew's house. First of all, if you have a bunch of keys on your key chain, who even LOOKS at those? Secondly, how did Chase even realize ANYTHING WAS AMISS with the keys to TRY them. I know, I know--it's a soap. Go with it. Still was bizarre. Also, if Michael DID DO IT, would he sill HAVE THE KEY ON HIS KEYCHAIN? Figure that out detective Chase. All of this is of course to propel him into having a full-blown affair with Willow. You can see it coming a mile away. 

SCREEN SHOT OF THE WEEK: My friend CanadianFuzzy grabbed this masterpiece for me! LOOK at Ezra in the background--taking SELFIES ON THE MAT!! AHAHHAA. I live for this stuff. I mean, come on. Genius. 

DAVE'S QUESTION: What storyline is interesting to you now? I think it's a fair question for all of us! For me... I think the Anna story because of the history. That's the only reason. The moving parts are so stale now, it's not going well but I'm hoping against hope something gives soon. I love Emma. That's a high point. They've wasted Valentin by locking him in the attic with Carly. It started out so promising but man, it's just going No-WHERE. Day after day of the same thing doesn't make a story move. How about you? 

That's all I have for you. I'm sure you can tell me much more that happened but frankly, this is enough. The Rocco/Britt stuff? meh... Jacinda/Michael? Double meh. Also--if they don't find SOMETHING for Kristina to do she needs to exit the show. I said it. Oh ! RIC was on which is always lovely. Diane is still in a wheelchair--making me think CH really really did a number on her leg. NLG had a bad head cold.  

See you later! Cheers!! 

Drewby

Is DREW on their enclosed PORCH at the house? LOL Sure looks like it. 

WILLOW terrorizes Drew and tells him why she shot him and wishes he was dead. I thought Chase was going to hear it after trying all the keys to get in the house, but he did not. She says she "dropped a tray". They go into the living room. Chase says not to trust Michael. 

Kristina and Jacinda talk about Michael giving up some custody. Jacinda thinks if she sees him, it would hurt his case. Jacinda gets asked out by Ezra and he also asks Kristina to go. She's like: Um, that's a CORINTHOS! Then Jacinda goes to talk to him. He says he's sorry for saying anything but he would like to date her. She says her schedule might free up soon. She gets his number and Krissy sees it. 

Brook and Michael talk about his custody arrangement with Willow. It's 60-40 and he's afraid if they went to the the hearing, he'd lose. They have the most BORING TALK EVER. They tell Wiley and Amelia about seeing their mom. Amelia is HUGELY huge. 

Dante gets on Britt's case for talking to Rocco when he goes to the hospital to do his community service. She wants to go to his hockey game. He's like NOPE. Stay away. She says Rocco is old enough to see her if he chooses. He says she's dangerous and was "presumed dead" so stay away. 

Liz talks to Dante about why he hates Britt so much. She says Jason thinks she's ok. Dante still doesn't think so.

END: 

Wiley sees Chase with Michael's keys

Willow tells Drew he didn't have a stroke. She gave him meds and he'll keep getting them so she can make a new life. She injects his line with more. 

DAY THURSDAY

 

It's been a long week! I'm in a little town with a lot of snow and cold. EESH. My Dad is somewhat better so I'm hoping I can leave later today. Not sure. Anyway...

I saw the scene with Anna and Emma and WOW.. is Braedyn a GREAT actor or what? Wow, what a find. Loved how Anna grabbed Felicia!! She DOES know how Faison is!! Also: Please tell St. Jaysus I was right. Unfortunately, St. Jaysus is busy helping ANOTHER woman in distress!! What to do!? 

So... I guess I'll see you when I see you. Thanks for hanging in there and reading this. Or not reading this and just Sonya's stuff. 

Day Three

 

I'm still here!! Thank goodness for Prednisone...miracle little drug! Dad is doing better but I'm here at least through tomorrow. 

Let me see if I get this right: (no I haven't watched yet...but Social media to the rescue!)

Anna was 'found wandering in France" and she's going or is in a mental institution saying Faison is alive. I guess they "broke" her and...?? Won't FELICIA of all people believe her?? I HOPE SO. 

SONNY HAS A DOGGIE! Named Fizz---from the dogs sprung by Gio and Emma. Gah. Adorbs. I also see he was with ADA Turner in some scenes. Did you stay awake? 

Tracey got her stuff back--did we see how she talked Martin into that?? Hmmm..

Willow's off the rails threatening Alexis.. Alexis needs to get her Natasha out, tell her she knows she's a murderer and has WITNESSES and to STFU. How's that!? AHAHAHA

Any follow up with Joss vs Ross? I mean... did she just--leave? Weird.

I also saw a photo of Lucas and Marco having coffee at Bobbie's. Looked riveting. 

Cullen is giving Britt her meds now-- are they meds, drugs or.. is it to stop her from getting the formula? 

HOW's ol' DREW doing? I THINK HE'S IN THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Greetings!

 

I'm still at my Dad's still...here's my Sycamore tree that started out a small thing I could climb! Look at it now! Hope the show is good-- just can't watch right now. Maybe I'll catch up later tomorrow. 

CHEERS 

Happy Groundhog Day

 Karen is with her family today. Please use this space for Monday’s post

Sunday Surgery: Comfortably NUMB

 

For the first time in many weeks, this will be a bitching blog-- so...if you're not in the mood, look away!! It was a brutal week news wise, then Catherine O'Hara dies and... not even my soap provided me with good old fashioned entertainment. 

WARNING: Do not read if you don't want to. I understand. 

Grab some crabby stuff and let's GO GO

OMG. Watching Snow Fall--Or Paint Dry.

 

Oh I am SO SAD... I LOVED Catherine O'Hara and watched her back in the 70's on Second City TV. 
That just SUCKS. I mean... why the good ones? 

TODAY'S SHOW

Carly tells Valentin he can sleep in the guest room and stay warm. Then the doorbell rings. It's Jac, Brennan. Val runs upstairs. Brennan asks Carly why there are 2 glasses out. She says Jason was supposed to stop over but he didn't so.. do you want it? Then he's like: We are alone!! They kiss. Brennan gets a call. 

Lulu and Nathan kiss at the Garage Cafe. Lulu's like WE CAN'T!!!!! GEE coma swap! Dante was with Sam when Lulu was in a coma now Lulu is going to be with Nathan while Maxie's in a coma. Lulu says she has feelings for Nathan but Maxie would kill her. Nathan says Maxie moved on with Spinelli. Lulu doesn't care. 

Portia stubs her toe, Trina feels badly. Portia tries to make Trina talk to her. I think I came in with this on WEDNESDAY.  They argue. PORTIA tris to guilt Trina by saying she always wanted to be a big sister and now she is. Trina says she can't trust her mother anymore. 

Charlotte and Danny's kiss is interrupted by Rocco. OH! Welp, they tell him they were going to Carly's to see Valentin. He feels left out. Charlotte says he sucks at lying. Aw, welp they make S'mores. 

Cody reads Molly's book and seems pissed. He say she knows what she thinks of him now. "Six feet of Gorgeous Stupidity"...Compares him to a Golden Retriever. She's mad Kristina sent it into the publisher early. They argue. She says she's sad she wrote it now because it hurt him so much.  He goes to sleep with the horses. She goes upstairs. 

Britt tells Jason all about Ross Cullum and him being in the WSB. She tells him everything. That's why she's been putting him off. Tells him she thought she was dying, woke up at the Five Poppies and they told her they'd give her meds to stave off her disease but she had to work on cold fusion. Also that Sidwell killed Dalton. He says they have to work together to end this. 

Joss and Ross play chess. Then he leaves the room and she rifles thru his coat. Finds cigs and the book about Anna. He wanted her to find it--and comes out and catches her going through the book. She fluffs it off and he lets her read it. 

END: 

Jason and Britt go at it. 

Carly and Jack do the same.

Valentin stares at the ceiling

Cody sleeps on a saddle

The kids eat S'mores

Portia goes back to bed, Trina cries.

Ross watches Joss read the book and holds a cig. 

OK

 WELP

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO underwhelming.

I Bet Today is Awesome!

 BECAUSE... I have an appointment!! OF COURSE! After 3 days of basically narrative, it will be the day everything happens. Oh well...enjoy it for me!! 

BTW, the image we saw as "Wyndemere"?? It's Amsterdam's Maritime Museum lol. Someone about to lose their job. 

I Ran HOME FOR THIS!?

 

HERE WE GO!! Power's OUT!! 

Portia goes to Trina's and makes her talk to her. Geesh, she's all "Don't have an attitude with me"! IN Trina's own house! Trina unleashes and says how dare you cheat on dad, then get pregnant and tell him it's HIS when you don't even know. Then she says you cheated on Taggert who I thought was my dad...then my real dad--I hope Dr. Gannon knows what he's getting into !! ahahhahaa. 

Lulu calls Nathan and they meet at GH because she has to pick up Rocco. They are going to look for Charlotte. Nathan thinks she made it to the stables and is fine. Rocco is running late so they wait. He finally comes out and leaves. 

Charlotte is at the Qs with Danny--she wants her mom to think she's at the stables. She HAS to tell her dad that Nina is a traitor. Danny decides to go with her. Then a shelter in place alert comes out. 

Carly thought Char would go see Valentin but nope-- He's like WHERE IS SHE? Valentin wants to go look for her. Carly says NOPE. They argue about it. 

JOSS picks the LOCK at Wyndemere. HOW THE HELL did she even get there? HAHAHA Ok, whatever. It's a soap, it's a soap. She has a map on her phone. Skulks around looking for the passage way. Thinks she hears something. YEP.. Ross comes into the room with candles. She's hiding in the foyer with her gun. She's surprised it's the WSB director. Then she acts like she's SUPPOSED to be there "Oh there's someone here! I was looking for my cousin LUCAS"!! "I was just out going to another island and the wind picked up so I stopped here"!! LOL She says her friend was having a party on Porter Island and she was bringing the keg. (I kid you not). She grew up on the water so it was no biggie to go out. Then Ross brings out the brandy and wants to get to know Joss better. 

Emma and Gio are getting ready to go help Tracey. They are at her apartment. He has no gloves. How can they help Tracey with no gloves? She finds him some ski gloves...they leave. Then they come back because the storm is so bad. 

Tracey goes to Drew's and she looks around and there's a fire and whiskey out. Martin pops out HELLLLOO! And scares her ahahaha GOT ME TOO. They have great banter together. Watch it. It's about the only fun thing right now. She wants her stuff back. 

I'm so PISSED they had no follow up on the "Faison" sighting  from yesterday ...I mean I about killed myself getting home in time. 

Damn it. 

END: 

Ross is suspicious of Joss...

Lulu and Nathan get stuck in the Bad Jen Cafe. 

Tracey is stuck with Martin

Gio and Emma make ze WUB 

Carly and Val are going to play chess...or checkers..? not sure which

The EVE of the STORM

 

HEY! It's Tuesday! I'm not sure I'll be here tomorrow so I'll make the most of today. Yesterday was a DRAGGING episode--I think because they are gearing up for the 'snow storm'. I'm hoping like heck it's not just a bunch of 2-3 characters talking the entire time they are stranded. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Tracey is going to give Gio something from his Great Great Grandfather. Emma is with him. She gives him a painting of street musicians he got in the Bahamas. He wants to hang it in his room at Sonny's. She's like NOPE...we will wait until you have your own place. She says it's coming tonight from Drew's. The movers are getting it. She had a key made from Scouts' lol.  The movers call to cancel because of the storm. She wants to go herself. Has to do it now because no one is home. Gio and Emma say they will help. 

Jason and Sonny talk about Britt, the danger she's in and such. IS Britt playing Jason? They blabber on and on. Brick comes in and tells Sonny he knows who tried to kill him 2x last year. He says someone inside the WSB.  Sonny asks if it's Jack Brennan. Brick doesn't think so... he wouldn't leave this trail. He leaves.

Joss asks Brick how to shut off all the power to Spoon Island. He's like WTF! She says it's for a project at school. Studying the effects of a power outage. He talks about grids, routers and needing a map, which is a security risk. 

Later, JOSS is shown at the POWER GRID. She pulls a trigger and blows the transformer. LOL 

Brennan is calling someone to come to The Metro. OMG it's NINA, he wants her to pump Charlotte for information. She thinks back to when she first talked to Charlotte and she told her she had been in touch with her dad. Nina says Charlotte knows nothing. Brennan tells her he will drag out the video of Willow if she doesn't do it. She'll be 'guilty' in the court of public opinion and she won't ever get her kids back. Nina says OK...but Charlotte overhears it. 

Carly sees Lulu and Charlotte and says hello. Lulu takes a phone call. Charlotte asks Carly to smuggle her in to see her dad again. Carly says no but she will tell him she loves him. Lulu comes back and says Dante had to pull Charlotte's police detail because of the storm. Charlotte wants to check on her horse but Lulu says NO. Char is angry.  She goes to the ladies' room.

I THNK CHARLOTTE ESCAPED!  YEP..they can't find her. Lulu freaks out.

Britt explains to Lucas that Sidwell wants her as his private doctor and they were talking about it. He's like WHY LIE about getting supplies for your MOM at GH then? She says patient/doctor confidentiality. Then he's asking Marco WHY he didn't ASK HIM to be his Dad's doctor. Then Sidwell walks in with Ava. They basically all say the same thing. Sidwell tells Lucas that he invited Carly over and Lucas is like WHY!! That's inviting Crazy in! Britt goes to leave and Sidwell stops her. Says the storm is too bad. She insists. He follows her out and she says the lab isn't ready to use. Britt leaves. Ava wants to leave but is going to stay ..and then the power goes out. 

Anna is in the cell "talking" to a taunting Faison about her being his soulmate and she'll see him soon and yada yada . Then the lights flicker on and off. 

END: 

Everyone leaves Wyndemere..then someone walks into Anna's room.. looks like Faison--but a TERRIBLE WIG. (we only see him from behind)

Joss looks at Wyndemere through binoculars and it's NOT our Wyndemere..OMG it's AWFUL! Who did that!!? 

Charlotte left the hotel alone. Lulu thinks she's at the stables. 

Snow's A Comin'

 

Well we have a SH*T-TON of snow! WHOO WEE! Around me it's about a foot and a half-- depending on how you measure the pack-down. Plus, at 9 degrees it's just cold cold! This week Port Charles will have it's own BLIZZARD (we did not have a blizzard, just a storm and lake-effect)...so let's see how they deal with all that! Run on Wegmans? 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Jason goes to talk to Britt at GH. Britt wants Lucas to witness the talk in case she needs a restraining order. Tells him if he ever cared for her to LEAVE HER ALONE. Lucas is like: Um yikes! 

Ava drops off Avery's costume at Sonny's for her recital. He wants to talk to her about Sidwell. Says sid is horrible and not to be near him. She's like too bad, he's a business man and I'll be around anyone I want. 

Meanwhile, Sidwell is at The Metro and Carly sits down. She wants a favor. She wants help breaking up Marco and Lucas. He says no, Marco needs his happiness. Why doesn't she come out to Wyndemere and he'll try to patch things up between her and Lucas? 

Ava comes in next to talk to Sid--and they flirt a bit...yada yada. He wants her to come to Wyndmere today. 

That ass Smith is on (Brick)... I'm not talking about him so sorry. Unless a HUGE thing happens, he's on MUTE. Thank GOD Curtis comes over. Curtis asks if Jordan has seen Drew-she says nope. Curtis hasn't either. They talk about Portia and...other stuff. 

Marco called Ross to Wyndemere. He wants help with Sonny Corinthos. He wants him GONE. Ross leaves. Then Marco calls Britt and tells her to get there NOW.  She gets there and immediately has to get to the lab. 

Joss is running on the snowy docks, meeting Brennan to tell him she knows how to get Wyndemere searched with no one knowing about it. She thinks everyone will leave Wyndemere during the storm since they always lost power and they can search it then. Brennan says absolutely NOT-- she's like WHYYYYY ?He's like NOOOOOOOO. Then He makes her leave because Ross is coming. BUT She listens in. Brennan tells Ross that the only reason he's seeing Carly is to get information--Joss is like @@!! 

END: 

Lucas overhears Britt and Marco arguing about the lab

Joss called Brick for a favor.

MUCHO FILLER DAY ---EESH

Sunday Surgery: EPIC-Pen

 

You all know about Epi-Pens...right? Well Willow delivered an EPIC pen to Drew this week and it was just SO Soapy!! I about fell off my chair at the shock of it all. Something that huge is hard to pull off for sure. Another surprise came during the week as well, in a form of a voice that haunts our Anna. 

Ok, buckle it up, get some beverages and let's GO GO! 

Thank you to Sloan Rush and everyone that takes Screen Cappies all week. I'd be lost without you! 

* Hard decision to post or not today but... I thought we could all use this. 

PICK ME!!! PICK ME!!

 

Emma's at the PCPD to talk about Anna being gone. Nathan says he'll help. Gio talks Emma into telling him she's concerned about her grandmother. Nathan goes to check the records to see if there's been an update. 

Stupid stuff with Carly/Jason and Britt "PICK ONE" ...:eyeroll It's just insufferable. Oh, Britt's "breaking up" with Jason because of what the WSB guy told her. "Brad was right"!!! Stay away from me!!! She stomps out. Carly and Jason talk about their relationship. 

Ross WSB Guy sees Rocco at GH while looking for Britt. She finds them together. Isn't happy. They go to her office. 

Chase has to tell Brook he's on PATROL  He wants to focus on their family now. Brook isn't sure she wants to adopt yet. She thinks he's reacting to being demoted.

Ava is at Wyndemere measuring for art. They are all having cocktails and Lucas brought Joss there to show her around. Joss tries to get out of cocktails saying she has to watch Donna but Ava's like: Um, she's with Avery at Sonny's hahahaha. Joss has to stay. 

Marco and Ava go to the wine cellar. Joss goes creeping around looking for a passageway --AVA CATCHES HER!! Joss says she's just being nosey because Wyndemere is creepy. Ava tells her that they have a lot in common with the people they love, including Trina. 

OMGGGGGGGGGGGG ANNA SEES PETER AUGUST AND HE TALKS TO HER!! "Surprised to see me, Auntie ANNA"???? AND He has a BRITISH ACCENT pffffffft. OMG... It's.. um.. pretty funny. He tells her no one dies in his family. Goes on and on. Says "are you sure you saw me die or was it one of my father's tricks"? Then she says he killed Faison and he says: are you sure???? Anna says NO TREAL NOT REAL--- he says Faison will have her soon. 

END: 

Anna just wants Faison to come out and not torture her anymore. 

Lucas wants to go explore the catacombs and Marco yells NO! 

Nathan says he'll help find Anna. 

NOTE: Today, there was a short montage for Tony Geary. There will be a full episode: 

General Hospital is honoring the late Anthony Geary (Luke Spencer) with a special, episode-long tribute airing on Friday, February 20, 2026.  Then on Hulu 

OHHHH HULU

 I ran home today and my HULU is refusing to engage --and I even restarted the whole TV set up and such. 
This is not good. I'm sorry. 

I can listen on my laptop--and it's the fallout of Drew. Tracey's suspicious and thinks Jason might have done something. Willow wants Alexis to tell Scout about her dad. Alexis wants Scout to live with her now (prob because she knows Wills is psycho). Kai is REALLY wondering about Willow. 

Willow says Scout can live with Alexis. Alexis asks if Danny can see him

Chase is demoted, not fired from the PCPD because no laws were broken. 

Joss is deactivated. No more WSB. 

Britt is moving out of Bobbie's. She and Carly trade barbs about Jason. 

Liz and Laura talk about missing people. 

Then, I had to leave at 2:30 

Kirsten Storms wrote on IG that she's taping at GH!! 

Acting the Part

 

FINALLY!! Let's get going into the SHOW!! I'm so here for Willow being as cray as her sister was!! 

WHOO HOO. 

ADA and Sonny talk about the trial and how she can't try Michael. She'll recuse herself if he's charged. She still thinks Willow did it but can't prove it. BORING CONVO

Lucas and Liz talk about the trial. She wonders if Willow will be "allowed to work". Then they get a call a critical patient is coming in. 

Portia is at GH and Stella stops her to be snarky. Portia says she has a board meeting and it's about her helping her daughter. She leaves. Stella eyeballs Isaiah. They have words. He says she should give some grace to Portia because Portia helped her out of the jam with Drew. 

Tracey and Laura are meeting about Portia's position before the board meeting. Portia comes in to explain herself. OH! She still has her medical license but a 'black mark' on it and I guess no other action was taken. She did everything for Trina and anyway, Heather was a murderer. This whole thing is unbelievable. I mean I GET it's a soap and such but whoa. LOL Its kind of hilarious. 

Curtis goes to talk to Laura about why Portia shouldn't lose her job. :EYEROLL: whatever. He said Portia is ok because she DIDN'T change Michael's lab tests when Drew told her to.

Britt invited Jason to the hospital to 'show him something'. Her new office. She pays him back $500 of the money he paid at the Cafe. Then she asks him out and to wear "the blue suit" he wore at the Five Poppies. They kiss, he leaves. WSB guy comes in. Says she can leave the Five Poppies but she can leave him.  He says she has to work tonight, the lab is ready. The data needs to be online in 3 months. She's like: THREE?? I can't! "Maybe you should disappear" says WSB guy. She wants one more day. He says no, and they have another scientist ready to go but she'd lose her medication. 

Curtis interrupts Kai and Trina making out at the cafe. He talks to Trina about the board meeting and they have to support her mother. She's like: MEH. Then Ava comes over after Nina leaves. They talk about the gallery and Kai. Sidwell's shipment is in for his art but has a ton more fees (tariffs? LOL)

Ava and Nina talk about the trial and Nina's still afraid for Willow because of Drew. Then Willow calls about Drew. She's crying hysterically. 

Willow's at GH Crying to Liz. Describes a stroke basically. Says she has no idea what happened to Drew. He was fine then, slurring and collapsed. Nina and Kai comes into the hospital. Willow cries to Nina. Kai is suspicious because he knows she tried to kill Drew once. Tracey walks out. She sees Nina and Willow. Asks if the kids are ok. Willow says: It's Drew. Lucas comes out. Drew had a massive stroke. He could have a host of things wrong with him, one being 'locked in syndrome' but they don't know. 

Michael and Chase fight. YOU belong in Jail!! You are an idiot! WILLOW!! Yada yada. Michael asks Chase how long before he's in Willow's bed. Chase decks him. They tussle. Jason walks in. Chase leaves. Jason says that Michael should call Diane if the police pick him up. 

END: 

Willow puts the syringe in a GH waste container. Won't be found. 

Tracey says Karma is a bitch

Britt says she's going to Wyndemere tonight. WSB guy says to lose Jason Morgan.. or he will. 

Stella apologizes to Portia..they make a little peace.

Stupid ABC

 

Unfortunately SOMEONE interrupted the 2pm GH today with ..whatever and I don't know if it's going to come back on or not---or WHAT. I'm sure ABC will have an in-depth "analysis" about it all so I'll probably have to watch it on Hulu.

THIS AFTER A GLORIOUS WONDERFUL cliffhanger yesterday!!! I can't tell you the last time my soapy heart was surprised like that!! WOOT!! Kate and Cam did a great job. LOVED it. 

TODAY'S GH WILL AIR TOMORROW!

Well, it's 2:34 and still going so... I guess I'll catch up later. NOTE: I did see the Canadians tweeting (THANK YOU CANADA WE LOVE YOU) and Willow DID inject Drew, it wasn't a dream!! WHOO HOO!
BOOOOOOOO.

Snow Snow Monday

 

Brrrr. Mighty cold here and snowing up a storm! Ok, squall but still a lot is coming down. I guess we expect it in January! 

COURT: 

Another redux of Willow getting off. Michael leaves. ADA is pissed and wants to know who erased the footage. Drew is jealous that Willow hugged Nina first and talked to Chase. He grabs her and kisses her. Drew wants to celebrate alone but Nina invites Chase to go too. They'll all go! 

ADA yells at Chase and thinks he erased the tape. Chase leaves. ADA tells Dante to 'build a case against his brother" (Michael) --um, he can't do that right?? 

Sonny talks to Suzanne and finds out Alexis is at court because the verdict came in. She gets a text that Willow got off the charges. Sonny's happy but worried for Michael. Later, Alexis comes in and throws things all over. Suzanne figures out that Willow was indeed, guilty. Suzanne tells her it was her duty to do that. Alexis still feels guilty. 

Willow and Drew go home. Scout finds out the verdict. Nina walks in, all happy. Drew sends Willow to the kitchen and the tells Nina she's not seeing Willow. Period. He threatens to tell Willow she wanted her found guilty to give her a defense. It's a weak argument. BUT Nina doesn't want t ruin the celebration so she leaves. Chase comes in with flowers but Drew says, well, Nina left so, no party here! He leaves. 

Michael is at the Qs house and flashes back to talking to Willow about visiting the kids in prison. What now? Sonny walks in. He doesn't care if Michael shot Drew or not but he's not going to let him go down for it.  Michael is afraid she might get visitation and maybe custody. 

Kai and Trina talk in the cafe. It's just ... boring. Kai wants to resign from Drew's internship. They just want to move on from all of this. He says if Michael gets arrested, he'll tell the cops and Trina won't have to go to them. 

Anna can't believe that's Faison on the intercom. He taunts her with tales of her leaving him in the hole in the stables way back when and also using Emma's name. He tells her he's waited for this day and they'll be together forevahhhhh. She gets ill and goes to throw up. Faison assures her it's him and he can't see her yet because he's 'recovering'. 

OMG WATCH THE END???????!!!!!!!!!!! SHOULD I TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENS?? I don't know!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG... wow... 

WELP. I did NOT SEE THAT COMING. If you don't want to know, don't scroll past he brain photo. 

Willow sent Scout to Alexis' with the sitter and she's having champagne alone with Drew. She's acting all weird and goes up behind him and INJECTS HIM IN THE NECK!!!!! He falls on the ground and is all: OMG Willow, what did you do???????????

I WAS STUNNED! Still am! Is it real? A dream? WHATTTTT!
