Emma to Joss: You're WSB BARBIE

 

It's FRIDAY PEOPLE... will today be more exciting than yesterday? Dear LORD I HOPE SO!!!! PLEASE@@@!!! 

HERE WE GO: 

Serena agrees to try to get Jason to sign the paper to get Lucy's company back. 

Aurora Gym: Hudson is working out to finish what he started before getting thrown out of the other gym. Joss is there too, wants a heavy-bag to pretend it's Sonny's face. Gio and Emma are behind her. She introduces them to Hudson. Tells Huddy that Gio is Phoebe's brother. Gio takes a text from Trina. Emma glares at Joss. Says that was a bogus thing to say in front of Gio about punching Sonny or some such non-sense. I stopped listening. LOL
OMG EMMA just lays into Joss--you're an entitled bitch! Calls her a nepo-baby too ahahha.

Ric is supposed to meet Liz at the GH mixer but Lulu interrupts him at Sonny's when he's leaving and wants to talk about her libel suit. He has to go to The Brown Dog but when Lulu mentions it's about her libel suit, he agrees to stay there. Tells Lulu she'll need a lawyer and he'll rep her. She's thrilled. They talk about how she got in to talk to him then she tells Ric she has a recording. Ric says that's good and he sounds lucid but he WAS on drugs. The big question is why didn't Drew back up what Sidwell said?

Lucas and Joe are going to the mixer but Lucas wants to look through Joe's closet for a better outfit for him. They pick out a more casual shirt. 

Liz is waiting at The Brown Dog and Dante walks in... also there: Britt, Tristan and Isaiah and Jason walks in too. Liz and Jason have a brief convo about Jake being in Spain, then Jason goes to talk to Dante about Rocco/Danny. They talk about putting the boys 'back together'...maybe Rocco can muck the stalls with Danny. Then they stare at Britt and she comes over: Say it to my face. Jason says they are happy she helped Rocco about the shooting. She starts bitching and Serena walks in and literally pulls Jason away. 

Serena wants Jason to sign something but he wants to look it over at the office, they leave.

Britt pretends to have a good time. Tristan is being jerky and goes over to Felicia. Tells her that Britt is 'trying to pretend to be nice". Then he asks about Anna. 

Joe and Lucas get to the bar. Lucas goes to talk to Liz. Joe asks Isaiah about the drugs Sidwell was on and could he forget or make up what he said? Isaiah says he wouldn't trust ANYTHING that came out of Sidwell's mouth.
Then Britt gets all bitchy to everyone and starts bantering with Liz. They snipe and Liz says that's why they don't invite her anywhere. Britt says they can all leave, but she's staying there. So the next scene, they are partying at Lucas' house lol

Britt is left at the bar. She can't get a ride share, she was banned. Some guy is staring at her at the bar. I think it's going to be Jude. 

Trina' Pintrest Board is shown with her song playing on a computer. Later, she can't start the car and Quinn pops up asking her if she needs help. He looks under the hood, admits he knows nothing and offers to drive her to her place. They can get her car in the morning. She says yes, he can give her a ride home. They are driving. He mentions the roses and says she'll probably get more from fans. Then he misses the turn. He has to make a stop. Trina says: Don't ever do that when you're taking a lady home, you have to tell her first. He has to go to his sisters-- and wants her to meet her. She says yes. 

END: 

Jason is looking over Serena's ipad to sign papers

Britt gets sent a drink from the Australian guy at the end of the bar (Has to be Jude)

Quinn takes Trina to his 'sisters' and it's all romantic. They show the Pintrest set up first and then she opens the door and it's all romantic. I think Kai set it up -- Trina asks Quinn: what is this? 

I'm tracking YOU

 Well Here I am! Clean teeth and ALL!! WHOOP!!!!! I saw some of yesterday's show...Liked Tracey and Ned. That's about it!

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Chase is moping around the gym. Hudson asks him if he's sad about his daughter. Then he talks about stuff and Chase says Phoebe was "a miracle".  Then Mac Daddy comes in! Meets Hudson who goes to the punching bag. Mac asks Chase why he hasn't taken the detective exam yet. Chase says he's focused on his family right now. His schedule is better as a cop. Mac understands.

Ric walks into the gym to throw Hudson out. Hudson says he has a membership. Ric says: EVOKED. Then Joss walks in and tells Ric to beat it. It was laughable. Mac tells Joss to learn from him: let the Sonny stuff go. 
Ric puts a tracker in Hudson's briefcase. Or maybe a bug -not sure.

Curtis and Monet. She's not moved forward on his appeal yet. She wants to do a PR blitz making Curtis out to be a hero for saving Sidwell. They are going to ask Drew to publish something at Aurora. Tells her to be careful around him. Willow walks in. Says she can't get the governor on the phone. Monet says that's because of the article. She thinks the public already thinks Willow did it. HAHAHAHAA. Monet doesn't want her around Curtis either. 

Willow and Lulu. Lulu wants to talk to her so she's in the Q kitchen. Willow is not happy. They argue. Yapper yapper. Lulu wants Willow to drop the suit. Wills says on one condition. Retract the story. Lulu says no, it will be much worse for you going to court and all the evidence coming out. Willow doesn't think so. Then Joe walks in and wants to talk to Willow about Jack Brennan. Willow says to talk to her lawyer. Tells Lulu it's all her fault because of the article. 

Baines tells Joss she's in trouble for defying an order. She's like: WHAT ORDER? He says she wasn't supposed to go after Sonny Corinthos. She says that was just JJE business. Explains why JJE would do what it did. He says that's pretty fancy talking but watch your step.Then they talk about the article Lulu wrote. Joss asks if the WSB has a drug like that. He says not officially and the WSB is going to deny having one. 

Ric hasn't found any stuff on Hudson Parker yet. He wonders if Sonny just wants to protect his businesses or does he want to bring down Josslyn too. Sonny says no, it would hurt Carly  and Donna. He says hands off her but he's willing to take down Hudson. Blackmail or strong-arming and Josslyn has NO IDEA who he really is...

END: 

Ric is listening in to Hudson in the locker room..so it was a bug. 

TODAY WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BORING. 

Dental Day

 

Guess where I am today?? YEP!! They had a cancelation and I got in so I don't have to wait forever.  Do I LIKE the dentist? NO.....but there you go. 

We've never had a dentist on GH, right? Hmmm... 

Here's hoping the show is a good one!! 

Singin'

 

Can't get much better than seeing Brad and Ms Wu yesterday!! I so hope they stick around. I mean they aren't going to take time away from anything imo, just ADD to it. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Cat's Eye. Kai and Ava show up. Kai says Quinn is late. Stalker still outside the window. Ava and Trina talk about Curtis, Ava looks guilty. Quinn walks in and looks at Trina. They sing later. Everyone grooves.

Drew walks in and sits with Ava. He says he knows how he's going to deal with Lulu. He's denying everything because it would help Michael and the Qs if he went after her. Also keeps the heat off of Brennan's Body.  Ava can't believe Joss bought the piers but is happy she wants to bring down Sonny. 

Lulu tells Dante she taped the conversation with Sidwell. He says he doesn't deny saying it, he says he wasn't telling the truth. She says other medical professionals said about the same and that Brennan's experience was similar. Then Liz comes in. She's pissed that Lulu interviewed her under false pretenses. Lulu says nope, they told her what they thought about the situation and Brennan. Liz says they had questions about what happened, not a theory. She wonders how Lulu even got in to get an interview. Lulu says she walked right in and why didn't Liz upset about Willow probably did? She's a congress woman and if she did this what else could she have done? Dante thinks she should retract the story. Lulu says No way.

Carly stomps out of the bidding room. Joss is all giddy. Says to Sonny it will be fun to own the piers. He whispers: Now you can hand them back to me...Hudson is all NOPE! She's CEO OF JJE now! Ric can't believe it. Sonny says only HE can protect those piers from the baddies. He gives Hudson a history of the piers. Joss says she's going to develop something beautiful on them and he can't stop her. He says bad people want them and only he can keep the people they love safe. Joss goes all mouthy and leaves. Kinda epic. 

Carly and Val go into her office. She's so surprised Joss did that. Valentin says that Drew and Sonny were shocked too. Then Carly brings up him helping Anna with her therapy.  Valentin says he'll talk to her but won't push.

Joss and Hudson go and debrief at the hotel room. Note: I think Hudson used to be a private pilot. Joss orders champagne to celebrate. They have a flirty moment. 

Sonny and Ric go and debrief at his house. Sonny is not happy Joss hates him. He basically helped raise her !! He says that if Joss thinks she can bring him down, she's dead wrong.

END

Lulu was served and Willow is suing her for libel 

Trina gets flowers and they aren't from Kai

Val says he can help Joss with the piers

Sonny wants Ric to find out who Hudson Parker is

It's a WU DAY!

 

Monday-- Monday!! Hope you enjoyed Sunday Surgery. I saw some of the previews for this week and I guess the stalker story is heating up-- I hope it's a BIT thrilling?? Or at least exciting ..a bit? 

Dante is talking to Sidwell about the article. Sidwell says he didn't say any of that and has been on a ton of painkillers. He can't remember anything. yada yada. Names all the drugs he was on. Then remembers telling Willow if she outted him he'd spill about her shooting Drew. Very confusing what his plan might be.

Drew goes to lulu to bitch about the article. Yells and then says to Lulu "Did you know your deranged Daughter broke into my car"? The valet caught her and told him. I guess he hasn't said anything. Lulu says would he go on the record about that? Then he says she's a hack and is betraying Lucas and Elizabeth too. Leaves. 

Ric goes to Sonny's to tell him he put his bid on for the piers and he should be Drew Cain. He thinks Sonny should stay home from the announcement at The Metro. Sonny wants to go and gloat.

Gio and Trina are singing at The Cat's Eye again. Emma tells Trina that Gio moved out of Sonny's. Trina feels badly but Emma says it was totally Gio's choice to do it. Gio says they found an apartment together. Trina is happy for them. 

At the Metro, Hudson and Joss get ready for something. She's in her spy suit and he puts in an ear piece. Calls her a "Bond Girl". They are doing some dumb stuff with the bidding and the computers and-- :eyeroll: She gets in the computer closet, does stuff with wires and Huddy is in the room working the computer. He'll put in a bid at the last minute.

Also at the Metro, Mayor Ezra is in a conference room and he'll be announcing the pier bidding winner. Carly and Val are there. Carly welcomes Val home from taking Char to Maine. They talk about the piers and he says HE got them. They kiss and go off to go have nookie. 

Ric and Sonny are in the announcement room and wonder who else bid on the piers. MS WU AND BRAD WALK IN!!!!!!!! HELLO!!!!!!!! Wu says Brad put the bid in right before she flew home. She also says things are good between her and Sonny since he knows that Sidwell framed her for the Charlie's fire. Everyone gathers for the winning bid. Hudson wins-- it's JJE actually. Everyone is open mouthed. 

END: 

The stalker watches Trina from outside the Cat's Eye window. 

Dante tells Lulu that Sidwell is denying he knew about the interview

Everyone asks who Hudson Works for and in struts Joss: he works for me

Sunday Surgery: MAKING HEADLINES

 

Good Morning! Here we are on yet another Sunday, going over this week's GH. Between the bird high-jinx and our time jump it was one weird watch. I thought it fitting to show the ginormous headline that Lulu cooked up overnight. 

I'm having strudel this morning (Dr Obrect approved) and some nice London Fog tea in honor of Anna. Here we GO GO 

Dreaming

 

FRIDAY! Doesn't Chase win jerk/dummy of the year? GEESHHHHHH. Might be pretty but ....

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Chase and Willow...He tells her and Britt that she has to sue for libel and the Qs are involved "Willow would never do this" he says. He pushes her to sue. Britt says that's not smart. Just say it's not true, don't go to court again. Then Willow tells Britt she and Chase will figure it out. Britt leaves.  They try to talk about what to do.

Curtis tells Monet she's Jordan's sister. He says she doesn't have a sister. They had different fathers and they weren't close says Monet. Jordan also didn't tell Curtis she was in town. Curtis wonders what her angle is. She says she wants to help him. Also, her sister never thought she was not as good at her at ANYTHING. 

Isaiah and Tristan go in to evaluate Sidwell. Jenz is surprised saiah is treating him when he'd want him dead. They tell him he's going to need rehab and a life time on blood pressure pills. Sid asks if Curtis is dead. Isaiah says nope and he's happy both of them will be back in Pentonville soon. Sidwell laughs, you think so? Britt walks in and he says "I don't think I need an OBGYN" she wants dirt on the Willow/Wheelchair story. He acts like he doesn't know what he's talking about. Says it WAS A DREAM (he just told Isaiah he was having vivid dreams) and it could have been a hallucination. AHAHAHAA. 

Dante and ADA talk about Lulu's article while in the PCPD. She's not sure it's true. He says Lulu wouldn't write something that wasn't vetted first. 

Emma asks Anna to co-sign a lease for her and Gio. Anna's so happy. She'll sign it. Cute interaction. Talks about Gio and Sonny. 

Anna goes to the PCPD. Dante flashes back to her saying she's still not great in the head. ADA wants help in her ex-WSB agent capacity. They ask her about the drug used. Anna says the WSB has one and Sidwell could have gotten it. BUT The WSB wouldn't want to involve themselves with him again so the PCPD might have to take care of it. She goes to leave but ADA wants to talk to her further. She tells her she was bamboozled by SONNY! Interesting. 

Gio tells Sonny he's ready for 'the next step' and he and Emma are moving in together. Sonny wonders if it's because of him. Gio says that he's not sure he believes him but it IS his choice. Sonny says Fizz will miss him. Emma comes in with Gio is packing. She and Sonny talk. She obviously thinks he had the beatings done. 

Stella and Portia talk about Portia going back to work. Marshall and Stella are watching Dezi right now. She loves it. Isaiah comes over later. Stella looks uncomfortable around him. She leaves. 

Stella goes into Curtis' room and meets Jordan's 1/2 sister. She's like WHAAAAAAA? Then she hustles Monet out. In the hall she says if Jordan never mentioned a sister, she can't be up to anything good. 

END: 

Stella send Monet on her way, she doesn't trust her

Sidwell yells at Dante that the article is ALL LIES.

ADA asks Anna to look over the Sonny Sidwell Curtis case because she can't be umbiased. 

Storyline Jump

 

Thursday--and I'm hoping GH is a bit more meaty today?? Seems like a lot of filler lately. Trying to stick all the newbies in is getting on my nerves too. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

So, in the past few hours, LULU has written her entire story about Drew being given paralytic drugs by Willow! YEP! IT's all over the place!

Carly talks to Drew in her office, he just finds out about the article. He's so mad because he thought it was just about his recovery. He freaks out---says it's tabloid gossip. Carly says she doesn't think so. He leaves. 

Chase is meeting with Monet in the cafe. She takes a call and Tracey sends him the link to the article. He jumps up and leaves. 

Tracey, Michael and Brook Lyn talk about it in the Q kitchen. Tracey is so happy. M and B don't even know about it and have to read it in the paper. They can't believe it. Tracey can. She almost admires Willow. Then they worry she might do something to THEM! They eat and then Chase charges in and asks Brook if she had anything to do with that hit piece on Willow. She says no and then he asks Tracey and Michael if they did. They are like NO, it's the facts. He refuses to believe it. He says Brook tried to frame her for the accident, Michael tried to frame her for the shooting and Tracey pushed her in the lake. He's going to FIX THIS! Leaves.

Willow is in the gatehouse trying to do damage control and Britt comes in. Britt's like: Drop the act, I'm a doctor. I know you did this. Sidwell must have made you. Willow says: NOPE. Tells Britt about her terrible relationship with Drew, feeling trapped and everything. How Sidwell got the drugs and then made her be congress woman. Says that Drew will tell on her now that Brennan isn't around to keep power over him. Britt isn't so sure. If Drew accepts that truth he'd look like a weak tool that was lied to and who's wife hated him.

On the other front of things, Jordan is visiting Curtis to tell him she's getting her face fixed and will be gone for awhile. Curtis is a sad sack about it all.. but he says she should go. God, he's insufferable. Oh Michael is going with her. She leaves and later Monet comes in. Says she thinks the judge gave the jury bad directions so she could overturn the case.

Ava and Sonny argue over AVERY. :EYEROLL: She says he can't see her because he ordered Pentonville beating. Just back and forth. Anyway, Maura is fabulous. He throws Ava out. Later, Carly comes in with Donna who goes to play with Fizz. He asks Carly if she has a question for him. She says No, I know you didn't have anything to do with the beatings. He's trying too hard to go legit. She doesn't doubt him.

Ava and Drew meet up at the Jen Cafe. He tells her about the article and it's bad news because it puts Jack Brennan in the mix again.  Ava thinks he should confirm the article and bury Willow. 

END: 
Sonny has a talk with Donna about what kids might say at school 

Curtis is going to work with Monet and she tells him she's Jordan's siste

Chase goes to Willow and says he can help her with everything. 

NOTE: Sonny referred to Avery as a TEENAGER today.

Two For One

 

Yesterday's show-- I like the therapist/Anna interaction. Val and Brook were good as well. Plus, Sidwell dishing on Willow? PERFECT because I need that out and over with asap. I wish we could have seen Jason getting that falcon's nest OFF THE DAMN ROOF by himself. AHAHHAA. I MEAN--come on. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Alexis and Molly in the gym. PSA for bone health. (Alexis was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2020) Then Dante and Rocco walk in and Alexis finds out that Rocco was punched by Danny. They don't tell her the details though. Later, Alexis goes off about what a horrible father Drew is and--he's standing right behind her ahahaa. He says he might send Scout to boarding school if they don't lay off and stop poisoning her against him. They keep arguing. 

Dante wants to take Rocco to Bensonhurst for the weekend. Rocco says no. Then they talk about friends and Rocco says Char is gone and he and Danny don't talk. (they totally watch as Drew and Alexis fight lol)

Dante goes to talk to Danny. He thinks he and Rocco need to patch things up. Danny's like: nope.

Gio and Emma want to move in together. Looking at apartments. Tracey walks in, asks what's up. He says he is leaving Sonny's.  She's sorry about the circumstances but is happy for them.

Scout goes to visit Danny in the gatehouse while he's watching Wylie and Amelia. He tells her it's not a good idea. She says come on, let me in. She knows why Danny really smashed Rocco in the face. She sort of apologizes. Danny says there is a lot between him and Rocco and he's not over it yet. The two of them vow to stick together like Sam would have wanted. She leaves. 

Rocco goes to visit Scout in front of that barn cafe. They talk about Danny and he's glad she got things straight with him.

Carly has Anna to the office and wants to talk about Joss and the WSB. Wants her to mentor Joss. Anna says absolutely not. Didn't Jason tell her about what she did? Carly's like: NO! Anna says she tried to kill Britt. Carly's sorry she asked, didn't know Anna was going thru all that. Anna says she's seeing someone about her captivity. The therapist recommended she get someone in the sessions that knew her and Faison from the past. The only 2 people are Robert and Valentin. Carly's like ASK VALENTIN! Anna says no, it's too painful for him. Then she says Val was kinda obsessed with her and it's not a good thing. Not to minimize what he and Carly have but probably better not to go that route. Carly keeps pushing. Anna asks why she cares so much. Carly says when she looks at Anna, she sees her daughter's future. Keeps pressuring her to have Val in the sessions. Anna says won't it bother you if he's in there and he used to love me? Carly compares them with Jason and her relationship.

Lucas and Liz talk about Sidwell being in the hospital. Lucas hopes he leaves soon. Liz tells him Lulu was trying to get in to see him. They both think that Sonny setting up the beatings is the most likely explanation. 

Lulu interviews Valentin and wants to do a story on his paralysis and miraculous recovery. Drew's like: WHY? She says the public would like to know his story and what it was like to be trapped in his own body. They are going to meet up later to talk about it. In the meantime, Lulu wants to talk to his doctors. Gives Drew a medical waiver to sign. 

Lulu goes to GH with the waiver. Liz says she has to check with Drew before they can release the records. She doesn't believe her. She comes back and is like: HOW did you get him to sign this. Lulu pitches the story she wants to write to Liz. Liz says that Lucas and she were on duty the night he came in and it was good Willow was there for a quick diagnosis. Lulu wonders how involved Willow was in his care. Liz says A LOT. Then Lucas talks about it and THEN they both tell her JACK BRENNAN had the same thing! DUN DUN DUN. 

END: 

Lucas and Liz spill about Brennan to Lulu

Rocco tells Scout Drew can never find out about them or they'll never see each other again

You Look Familiar - 2026 Edition

Back in 2019, I did a filler blog titled "You Look Familiar". It featured Verne Watson and John Ingle. I knew that both of them have been in multiple series and I did a character count. Verne played a nurse 14 times in her career. And John? He played a priest 11 times. Typecasting? No. Just really good actors who played a certain part very, very well.

With a gazillion new characters on the show this year, I wanted to look around the internet and see if any of them "look familiar" to us. I'm sure that GH cannot be their first show. So, take a look at some of our newest cast members and ask yourself, "Do they look familiar?"

PERIGRINE FALCONS

 

Sad news. Robert Kelker-Kelly who played Stavros on GH has passed away at the age of 62. I really enjoyed his portrayal of that Cassadine brother. He also played Bo Brady on Days. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Jason opens the door to Serena. HE doesn't know who she is. She asks if he's Jason. He says yes. She stomps on his foot: That's from Scotty Baldwin. She says Scotty had to leave in the middle of the night because Jason threatened his life. Jason wonders why she's there. She says she's meeting with Tracey and Brook about Deception.

Tracey tries to get information from Yuri about Chase/Brook's argument. All he will say is they left angry. Then they go into something about the falcons nesting at the house. She wants them moved because of the noise. He says no, they are protected. Then Jason gets into the convo. Probably going to find Jack.

Serena and Tracey sit to talk about Deception. Brook and Lucy are late. She tells Tracey about a pop up at the holiday market. Tracey says just say: Temporary store. Then Serena mentions the falcons. Tracey says she hates them, wants them gone. Serena is aghast. They decide to not have the meeting since Lucy/Brook aren't there. Serena pretends to leave but sneaks upstairs to find the falcon nest. 

Hudson is in the gym, boxing the bag. Brook walks in. Told you they were chem testing them. Blah, blah.. Brook gets into it about Chase. 

Chase is meeting with Monet at The Metro Patio. He tells her Brook wanted them to move into their own place but he didn't trust her. He thinks it's over. Wants to legally separate. She's going  get the papers ready. 

Britt and Willow are having nosh there too. Willow has another daydream about Chase. Britt notices and is all: TELL ME.. I know you still love him. Willow says no, we are just friends. They talk about Jason. Britt DID love him but they weren't compatible. They get their french fries. Then when Monet leaves Chase, Britt leaves so Willow can be alone with him. She asks him about Leo. Then they talk about the falcon nest ---Amelia and Wiley like to watch them.

ADA and Sonny go round and round about whether or not she believes him about the attack on Sidwell/Curtis. She says he lied to her and she bought them HOOK LINE AND SINKER. Sonny's upset. She's upset. Stomps out after telling him he's a liar

Gio and Trina are talking about Sonny. He tells her about the Dante/Sonny fight. Says he Dante made a lot of sense and he doesn't believe Sonny. He says he'll have to tell him he's moving out. 

Joss goes to Baines to try to talk him into letting her bring Sonny down. Says she KNOWS he's actually in the mob. He asks about her present assignment. Then he says forget it-- you keep working on the JJE thing. No revenge, just catch criminals for the WSB. She agrees. She's supposed to audit JJE's far east holdings.

Joss walks into The Metro and sees Willow and Chase talking, reinforcing what Michael told her about them. 

END: 

Chase says Willow doesn't have to keep her distance from him anymore

Serena falls from the roof trying to help the falcons and is hanging upside down when Jason finds her

Trina and Gio have a gig 1-13/26 and the stalker person hangs it up on their board. 

I WILL BE OUT TOMORROW FOR AN EYE APPOINTMENT. There will be a filler blog here for you. 

Sunday Surgery: Blood Brothers

 

What a difference a week makes. I enjoyed the show and wasn't floundering or wanting to turn it off. Why? Three things:  Scenes were longer, dialog was more intricate and focus was tighter. All I really ask is for things to flow and the scenes to be compelling. It wasn't an A week but it was a solid B in my book. 

Yes, there's still a lot to discuss but for once, I might shine a light on the good things! 

Why not get your fave cider and donut? October is here!  Let's GO GO! 

Big thx to Sloan for 90% the photos this week...David for fillers and Sonya for re-recap dailies! 

One Hell Of A...

 

FRIDAY!! I'm really enjoying this week so far--can they make it DAY 5 for me!!?? We shall see!! 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Dante tells Gio Sonny hasn't really left the mob and he can't stay there tonight. Gio tells them he knows Curtis named Sonny in the attack. Dante says it was Sonny's men and such. Dante says one gave the order, one beat them up. Sonny cops to the fact he sent Vito but just to tell Sully to keep an eye on Sidwell. He pleads with Gio. Dante says he should leave but Gio is a grown man. He goes out the door. Sonny says he never would hurt Curtis. GOOD SCENE by Maurice. 

Felicia, Mac and Emma have lunch at the Metro and talk about Sonny. Mac says there might not be a lot of evidence but he's probably guilty. Mac and Fe were glad Sonny was out of the mob because she's dating Gio. Brings up Morgan, Michael...and even Stone getting shot back in the day. Robin defended Sonny and look! 

Jordan has nosh with ADA she says "Your boyfriend put Curtis in the hospital, what are you going to do about it"... ADA says there's not a lot of evidence. Jordan asks her if she's going to date him when he obviously lied about getting out of the mob. Justine says she has to have more proof. Jordan "WOW he must be one HELL OF A LAY" ahahhhaa!! She tells her if she keeps dating Sonny, she can't be friends with her. Michael comes and takes Jordan into the hall. 

Michael tells Jordan she has to get to the clinic NOW. She's like NO Way will I leave Curtis when he's in GH. Michael says he'll be taken care of. Says she needs to take care of herself right now. 

Lulu tells Tracey if Danny does ANYTHING ELSE she'll press charges. Tracey says Rocco would hate her if she does. They talk about how Lulu should handle Rocco. Tracey says not to control your kid's lives too much. She learned the hard way. Good talk. Lulu tells her Charlotte is in boarding school. Tracey understands how hard it must have been to send her away. 

Rocco tells Scout he deserved to get punched. Tells her about saying Sam would send Danny away if she were still alive. Scout says he's wrong: Sam would never send Danny away. She was awesome and would have worked thru it. Says her dad cares too much what people think. People don't like him but he's her dad. He loves her and she loves him. Then they kiss. 

 Chase wants to know why Brook and him were arguing. She sugar coats it then says they should get their own place to work out their issues. Chase says no they have to work things out with her family around because they are a package. 

Joss and Trina talk about Curtis getting beat up. Trina tells her Sonny was implicated. Joss says she won't let Sonny get away with this. They talk about Sonny and power and how he's gotten out of things over the year. "I don't care how many wings he donates to the hospital, he makes me sick" says Trina. 

Later, Sonny walks into the dark love nest and grabs a bottle and chugs. Texts Justine. 

END: 

Brook basically tells Chase she can't believe he thinks that badly of her and leaves. Flashes back to Michael saying Chase should do himself in.

Joss says she'll stop Sonny no matter WHAT

Lulu catches Rocco and Scout kissing but pretends she didn't.

Dante tells Tracey she's been right about Sonny all along.

Gio tells Emma he's not sure he believes Sonny

Justine shows up and wants Sonny to tell her himself he didn't have anything to do with the attack

Tues/Wed GH and TODAY!

 

Oh I really liked Tuesday and Weds shows--- probably because I could watch on Hulu and not have commercials all over the place. SUCH a different experience. 

LOVED Carly/Lucas and then Lucas/Britt. Such good, comfortable scenes. All three are good at that with the friend thing. 

Also: Danny/Jason convo was really good as well. Jason and Carly realizing they made the same mistakes as these teens are. The kids were decent in their scenes...which doesn't always happen. Dialog for Monday/Tues/Wed? excellent. 

My jury is out about Jordan and Michael but it's certainly happening I think. Which if it gets Serena out of there, I'm for it. 

Don't mind Sonny getting framed. Nope. LOVE that Ric is standing up for his brother though.

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Tracey and Chase talking in the Q kitchen. She wants him to file for divorce. HE's like don't tell me what do do. She reminds him he moved back into the house. She says he should stick by Brook and if she HAD confessed they never would have gotten Phoebe. He says Tracey is the reason she lied in the first place. Leaves.

Brook and Michael on the boat launch in tennis clothes talking about Chase moving back in.  Michael tells her just to bide her time, Chase will mess up with Willow soon enough. "They'll sleep together". Brook pushes him in the lake! LOL. She realizes Michael had Wills move into the gatehouse just to set Chase up. She's furious. Michael says her marriage is over and she should act like a Quartermain. 

Danny gets into Scout's house when Drew leaves. He wonders what Rocco told her. He says they got in a fight about Charlotte. Scout gets all pissy and says Danny must have thrown the first punch and he's a thug haahaha.  She hates him--says that her dad could have gone to prison. She tells him to GET OUT.

Rocco is sneaking out to school and Lulu stops him. She sees his bruises. He tells her about the fight with Danny. She is really pissed with Danny. Danny thinks back to saying that Sam would want him to go away just like Charlotte before Danny punched him. 

Gio and Trina. Trina tells him about the attack. Gio doesn't believe Sonny ordered it. She says her Dad is sure. Maybe Sonny isn't out of the mob after all. Gio won't believe it. Trina says that her dad named Sonny and she's afraid he'll kill her dad. Please talk to him.

Tristan says Curtis can be discharged. Willow stops him in the hall, says she's a congress woman and needs to speak to him about Curtis. She wants to know his status. Tristan won't tell her. She finally goes in to see Curtis (She called the warden) she wants to help him because he's a hero for saving Sidwell and naming Sonny. He says OOOOOoh, you want to use the ammo with the custody case. She asks if she can help him at all. He says: Well, not from a prison cell. He wants a full pardon from the governor-- and he'll get her Sonny. 

Trina goes to visit Curtis and can't get in. Willow comes out and Trina is all "MUST BE NICE to be a congress woman" and then Willow tells the guard to let Trina in and she can stay as long as she wants. 

Dante goes over to Sonny's house. He says he believes Sonny wanted to get out of the mob but he needs to ask him if he ordered the attack on Sidwell. Sonny says no. Looks him in the eye. Dante says: you're lying to me. Sonny is like: you have to believe me, I'm not lying. Dante says he thought Sonny trusted him more. GREAT ACTING BY DOM Z.  Sonny says if he wanted Sidwell dead, he'd be dead 10x over. Dante gets upset and says he did believe him even though for his entire adult life, Sonny built a criminal empire. 

Later, Danny goes into the Q kitchen and tells Tracey about the fight with Rocco. Also, his sister hates him. They have a good talk about sibling love and hate lol . He has to go mulch now.

END: 

Willow talks Dr Tristan into having Curtis stay at GH for a few more days. He says it's always good to have a congress person in his corner.

Chase hears Michael and Brook arguing

Scout goes to Rocco's and sees his bruises

Dante says Sonny's a bad person, Sonny says he did what he did to protect his family and provide for them. Then he tells Dante to get out. Gio hears all of it. 

GOOD SHOW TODAY, a LOT happened! 

Brownstone --Your Wednesday GH Filler!

Show of hands. Who remembers the Brownstone? It was 40 years ago. Does that make you feel old? Karen has been mentioning that it needs to return, and what better time with all the new characters we have on the show. I could easily copy/paste some background of the Brownstone, but all of you can just go and read up on it yourself either with YouTube or Wikipedia. I am going to just give my memories in a nutshell. 

\

The Brownstone was created in 1985, which happens to be the year I graduated from high school. Yes, I am that old. To me, and my recollection, the Brownstone was Friends before Friends. A group of people in their mid-20s lived together in the same building (sound familiar?) and they congregated around a big couch in the living room. (again, sound familiar? Central Perk anyone?) It made so much sense at the time to do this. Instead of meeting in the hospital cafeteria or Kelly's for scenes, this was a place for young people to interact.

I also remember, vaguely, some of the people who lived there. Frisco and Felicia, Tony and Tania, Luke and Laura, and some people without alliteration. Terry Brock was DL Brock's daughter, and she brought with her Kevin and Patrick. (Not Robin's Patrick, a previous one). And there was a murder mystery in the Brownstone and at one point there was a location shoot (not a typo. they actual did a location shoot) to a fictitious town called Laurelton where Terry walked naked down the street one night. Karen swears this never happened, but I have YouTube proof. 

He's right. I do not remember that at all. I remember the earthquake that struck in 1991 and Felicia was trapped in the brownstone. I also have memories of the Jake and Bobbie years there. I believe that's where they got married. 

The building burned down, and the set was transformed into another set, as most sets wind up doing. It hasn't really been mentioned since. 

NO!! I actually remember better than David here!  Kiki and Morgan redid the Brownstone as part of the Waterfront Revitalization Project in 2014. Michael was the head of the whole project for ELQ. This also included an AJ Quartermaine Memorial Clinic (I kid you not). Avery was actually born at the Brownstone while Ava lived there. 

Reimagined Brownstone 

What now? Does it make sense to bring this back? Can we fill 6 apartments and have a new location for people to hang out and have some coffee? How would this differ from the original? Who would own it? (Bobbie owned the original). Is anyone else getting a "227" vibe? I called on AI to give me a brownstone. There is no living room (of course there should be) but this could be a concept for a new Brownstone. I am not redoing the AI so you are stuck with this one.

WHO DO YOU THINK SHOULD FILL THOSE ROOMS?

Drop your comments below along with today's show! 

  

David forgot one important point: Who's RUNNING IT? I'm saying Aunt Stella! We need a sage, wise elder to bring this whole place to life. Remember Myrtle on AMC? That's the ticket! 

The blog for the day. Please leave comments below.

A Black and White Movie Day (Tues Blog)

Normally when I put together a filler for Karen's day off / hair appointment, it is usually GH themed. There have been a handful of times when I went off-topic and threw something together from left field. This is one of those times.

A friend of mine (yes, I still have a few) was talking with me about the greatest movies of all time. He is younger than me so naturally, his list was filled with Star Wars and Harry Potter. My list started forming and I noticed that it was a lot of black and white films from a bygone age. (Although Godfather was on the list, I am after all half-Italian)

   

I decided to compile a top 10 list of nothing but black and white films. (sorry, Vito). These truly are, to me, the best of the best. My number one would be The Last Picture Show with All About Eve a really close second. Third would be Casablanca. How many of these have you seen? Are there any black and white films (and they are called films, not movies) that you have seen and enjoyed? What did I miss?

 

Oh, and this is the blog for the day. Please leave your comments below.
I know we have to keep saying that when we do filler. 

Karen's FAVE Black and White Movie:  Mildred Pierce starring Joan Crawford. What a SOAPY SOAP of a movie!! I love it.  There's a little GH connection because the Laura/Leslie/David Hamilton story was similar. 

And now everyone, on with the show... 

Some fun facts:

Suddenly, Last Summer was the ONLY time that Katharine Hepburn got second billing to another actress (Elizabeth Taylor) in a film.

In Stage Door, Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers, Ann Miller, Lucille Ball and Eve Arden all appeared together BEFORE any of them were really famous. Can you imagine these 5 legends on a set together, not knowing they were sharing the stage with Hollywood Royalty?

For The Last Picture Show, Cloris Leachman did her dramatic scene once and told Peter Bogdonavich "let me do it again, I can do it better" and he said "no, you can't. You just won the Oscar". And, she did.

Psycho was the first time a toilet flushed in a film.

Bruises

 

MONDAY! And... it will be my only live day until Thursday!! STUFF TO DO PEOPLE. I have to admit I don't even care at the moment. 

HERE WE GO: 

Oh god, ADA and Sonny are in bed, talking about how PEOPLE MIGHT KNOW ABOUT THEM. :EYEROLL: I'm not even dignifying it with a comment. ADA gets a call about the guys in the hospital.

Val tells Charlotte she's going to a boarding school in Maine and she's already accepted. She's freaking out. She tells Lulu she will miss her so much, can she move back in? Such manipulation. Cassadine approved. Lulu asks to talk to Charlotte alone. Val leaves. Lulu lays into her about what could have happened including being SA'd and even killed. (good scene). She thinks she should go to boarding school. GREAT DIALOG about lying when it comes to accusing someone of SA. Charlotte agrees to go but wants to say goodbye to Danny first. 

Danny and Rocco talk at the Q boat house. Rocco tells Danny Carly knows everything and Char is in big trouble. Rocco says Scout was with him but he doesn't think she'll tell Drew. Danny hopes not. They end it with they are still brothers and there for each other. Rocco leaves.

Charlotte goes to the boathouse to see Danny. Tells him Rocco did this to impress Scout..and now she has to leave for boarding school. Oh the horror. 

Emma and Gio go to The Metro Patio to eat. Emma sees Anna with Tristan. Gio tells her he and Trina are going to sing together but NO BROOK LYN.

Anna tells Tristan that the WSB is letting her see Dr. Nichols so she doesn't need to seek out his counsel. He seems sad. He says that he'll listen any time. Anna says he reminds her of another good listener that's across the world. Oh geesh. Anna then goes over to talk to Emma and Gio. She's like: are you following me? Emma says Gio picked the place. Anna leaves. 

Valentin walks into the restaurant, runs into Anna. He can't find Carly. She asks what's wrong. He says he's a bad dad yada yada. Charlotte is the way she is because of him. Anna tries to reason with him...but Valentin is sad sad sad. 

SONNY Comes in rando to talk to Gio about career advice? Okay. Gio wonders if he could find him a manager based on his time at L&B records. Sonny says sure but keep it quiet. 

Carly goes to visit Lucas in his new place, she meets Joe for the first time. Carly brings Lucas wine and a toaster. Joe has to go to work. Carly has to talk to Lucas about something she needs help with. She tells him the whole story about Val/Char and she's afraid lulu will use it against Valentin. Talks about how close she and Valentin have gotten.

At GH, Curtis and Sidwell are in there beat up. Isaiah sees Curtis...Curtis sees Isaiah. Liz tells Dante who the prisoners are that were transferred there. Isaiah asks if he wants another doctor. The guard says he is a prisoner and gets no choice. Isaiah loses his temper and says he still has RIGHTS! Curtis says he will let Isaiah treat him. Isaiah has broken ribs. CT/MRI will tell if he has internal bleeding. Curtis doesn't want anyone to know he's in GH.

Liz takes Dante in to see Sidwell who's in bad shape. Dante asks who did this to him. Sid says "who do you think"?? Isaiah kicks Dante out of the room. Sidwell goes into shock. 
Dante calls Joe to come in and take the case because of his conflict of interest. 

ADA ARRIVES.. Dante says they have to find out who did this to them. She goes in and Tristan throws her out because Sidwell isn't doing well. Joe can't get any answers from Curtis either. 

Sunday Surgery: Trouble In Teen Town

 

Swinging into the end-ish of September has been a test of patience. This on top of all the newbies has been a drag on most if not all of the 'stories' brewing on this show. I'll give you the rundown of the week but it won't be much to digest. Skipping around also seems to be the direction we are going in so if you don't see me mention something, that's because it's now on the B side of things. 

One of our many Starbucks is closing so get over to your fave LOCAL shop for some nosh while you read!! 

Let's GO GO 

Prison Beat Down

 

FRIDAY. 

Jordan and her sister. Sister is sassy, looks at Jordan's scars. Wonders if she's going to get them fixed. Calls her a drama queen. They banter. Guess they don't like each other. Monet tells her that she's staying in PC for a year and working for Diane and Alexis. Bicker, bicker. I guess Monet really loathes Jordan.

Hudson wormed his way into the Q house and is looking at Brook and Phoebe. This is so predictable. They do peek a boo with Phoebe. Chase walks in. Looks mad. Tells Brook he's moving back into the house. She figures out his lawyer told him to do that. She's not happy he doesn't want to work things out between them.

Joss is meeting with Michael at the Metro. He wants her to keep living at the Qs to help him keep an eye on Chillow. She's not so sure and thinks he sounds like Drew. Says he needs to let things alone.

Lulu called Jason to the house to talk about Danny and Charlotte. They egg each other on. She needs back up with Valentin and asks Jason to do that. 

ADA and Sonny talking about the stupid dumpster kiss. Are you IN THE MOB or OUT? I'm out..do you WANT TO SEE ME OR NOT? UGH insufferable. 

Charlotte is at the boathouse looking for Danny. He's at the feed store with Cody. She wants to use Rocco's phone. Rocco doesn't think that's a good idea. They argue. She says he only did what he did to impress Scout. Then Rocco gets a phone call from Lulu.

Curtis and Sidwell. Curtis warns Sidwell he's going to get beaten and should go to the warden. Sidwell says no, he wants to hire Curtis to be his bodyguard. Curtis says no, he just wanted to warn him. Leaves. Later 3 guys come in to beat him up. Beat him up badly, pull a knife. Curtis comes in just as they are about to stab him. Then they turn to stab Curtis. 

Carly and Val talk about Charlotte. He mentions boarding school and Carly says he really should tell Lulu and join forces. It would be best for Charlotte. I actually agree with Carly! Later, Jason comes over to share his talk he had with Lulu. They say it sounds like something Carly would do.

Valentin goes to Lulu's and Jason leaves. He tells her she is right about Charlotte. Then tells her the entire story about the car. Lulu wonders if she really IS seeing Drew. Val says no she was setting him up so Danny could see Scout. They talk more, he mentions boarding school. They call Rocco and tell him to bring Char home. 

END: 

Curtis and Sidwell both get beaten and left on the floor. Guy says: Sonny Corinthos says you deserve this and more. 

Charlotte finds out she's going to boarding school. 

ADA and Sonny make Ze Wub

Filler Over Filler

 

OMG this is so stupid. Apple and Hulu just announced price increases that are STUPID. I think I'm going to look at cable again and fk streaming. UGH. I really only watch GH on live tv --ergo having Hulu for $109 a month to get GH (and that's WITH ADS!) just burns me. 

BOOOOOOOOOOOoo 

RANT OVER! TODAY'S SHOW: 

Chase and Willow. They dog on the Quartermaines. She says he should move back in (probably because he'll be closer)

Drew goes to Michael and tattles on Drew and Willow for being close in the gym. Michael is like: MEH. Just yada yada. 

Monet and Tracey. Tracey says no way is she letting Chase move back in. Monet threatens with legal separation and a custody agreement.  Around and around. Monet says to make sure Brook agrees with what Tracey wants. She leaves. 

Jordan and ADA . Jordan says she saw ADA and Sonny Kissing! OMG! What are you thinking? I mean-- whatever. ADA says she just can't quit him. She leaves and texts Sonny.

Alexis is in Pentonville talking to a rando client. Sidwell walks up, wants to hire her to get him out. He says Sonny is going to kill him. Alexis is like: BLOOP! Sidwell pleads his case. He says it will be her fault if he dies and she didn't help him. 

Ava and Sonny argue over ghost Avery . He wants to take her to NYC and Ava's like NOPE. I was going to take her in JANUARY! IT'S OUR THING! The DIALOG ON THIS IS SO BAD-- wow. WOW. So bad.  Sonny threatens Ava and says she'd better pick up the phone NOW and call the school.  SHE DOES. She caved. 

Drew and Ava meet at the Metro to talk about bringing down Sonny. 

Michael and Tracey have tea in the Q kitchen. Chase comes in. Tracey is letting him move in. 

END: 

Tracey is telling Michael she thinks Chase and Willow will have an affair if they are close enough. 

Willow has a steamy fantasy about doing Chase in the steam room 

Monet is Jordan's little sister. 

NOTE: TWO Days of Filler and NOTHING TO FOLLOW UP THE CHARLOTTE CONVERSATION where Val is telling her she's not going to school --
