Sunday Surgery: Back To Reality

It was bound to happen!! After probably one of the best week in soaps, we inevitably had to take a breather and sink into the same old same old for awhile. But so soon!!?? And so... weirdly? Ok, it's Easter Sunday and I know you're rarin' to go find those eggs so let's:  

GO GO!

I realize keeping up a pace like we had would be impossible but dang, sure was nice wasn't it? Today I'm going to just hit the important bits and that will be that. Shouldn't be too many!! 

DOUBLEMINT GUM: So, yep.. at the end of one of the most dull days, we got the word that Nathan is in fact, Cassius Faison, Nathan's twin. I was SURE it was Cullum that was the 4th child but nope! GH went with yet ANOTHER TWIN STORY! I've watched for so long that this little trick is just -- such a let down. I almost wish Nathan was regenerated from death by Britt and that was her mission instead of cold fusion. Anyway, for those of you that guessed it, bravo. I would like to point out one glaring thing: You can't tell when "Cassius" is being "Cassius" because not even the monotone of his voice changes. Like nothing. Zippo. Deadpan. We also found out that Kirsten Storms is off contract so if she decides to come back from Nashville here and there we will get a glimpse of that relationship. Will they recast? Who knows. 
The reveal of Cassius only surprised me because it was at the end of such a boring day and I had almost turned the episode off! 

BTW: Yes, I think he's really developed feelings for Lulu and by default, Rocco. 

COMPRESSION SOCK SHOCK:  Before I get into this, let's just take a moment to giggle over Trina's gift of COMPRESSION SOCKS. I mean, at LEAST bring the man a DVD of Sinners or something!! So, yes...Trina and Kai go over to Drew's and drop the fact they know about: THE BAT and THE RINGTONE. If that wasn't enough to perk up ol' Dark Willow's ears she actually OVERHEARS them in Drew's office out and out say they know she shot him. I... just.. Um, OKAY? I see her baking a cake filled with Ricin for the two of them. 

LUST:  Speaking of Willow...she sure was smelling Chases' shirt when he hugged her!! Will baby Phoebe be the next change of clothes victim? 

'MEMORIAL':  So, Marco got a memorial...or should I say 'pregaming' memorial. People gathered in the echoing church and then, it was over. I guess we are all happy that it wasn't longer. Two things: Diane didn't show up and.. NOT ONE MENTION OF BLAZE. I thought for sure when Kristina was talking to Sidwell she would have said "I've talked to Blaze and if she wasn't stuck in Thailand, she would be here". OR SOMETHING??!! Just made me mad. So, the whole thing boiled down to Sonny and Ric confronting Sidwell. Laura got some more airtime with Ezra Boyle and-- Lucy was trying to sell a house to Lucas. 

CONFRONTATIONS: First up, The Brad-Britch slap. She slapped him when he suggested that she was better off without Jason. Don't worry folks, they made up quickly. Second one was Pascal's rant to Lucas about Marco's his murder and that it was Lucas' fault. He played a decent drunk butler. Would have loved for that to have happened AT the memorial but--a girl can't have everything! 

MEET CUTE:  Cody and Molly continue their adorable relationship by just getting the cute on whenever possible. She had her endometria procedure and he was by her side when she woke up. They shared a scene of her still 'tipsy' with anesthesia complete with her loving his arms, sharing animal crackers and looking at vacation spots. I was disappointed he didn't bring her a stuffed animal with a ribbon around it's neck.

SPIDERS: Wiley is doing a project on spiders because Jacinda likes Spiders. That's all. Carry On. PS did he ever Google "hookers"? 

THE REST: 

Emma was sad about Anna and Felicia basically told her she's sick and can't come home. 

We are going to have to live with Rocco-Guilt for awhile so buckle up. *sigh*

Danny got in a fight and Alexis is flumbuttled with a teenage boy. 

Lucas is going to stay at Wyndemere

Dante went to Cullum and was menacing. Cullum was menacing back. 

Liz kissed Ric. But also acted mighty happy to see Dante. 

Chase asked Willow to put in a good word so they can foster the baby. 

The Teens met on the bridge to discuss angst (they did NOT play The Smiths however)

Brennan got in Nina's face about that video and then decided to get Jacinda on his side

There was a whole "Little League" thing. Did you know Trina played it as a kid? She's also going to help Kai coach his team! Michael wants him to give Wiley private lessons!  BATTER Up!

NOTE: ALL of the shooting/Britt stuff can be solved if Lucas just goes to Dante. I have no idea why he wouldn't do that. Get a vial of the meds, and start blabbing. 

NEWS: 

Looks like Kirsten Storms is off contract and I'm not sure if that means Maxie just won't be on much or if they'll recast. I personally love her but dang, this back and forth stuff? Enough. If Maxie is going to be a viable character, then recast. OR have Spinelli and Maxie move and come back for vacations to visit. James could do that too. They are obviously not interested in having Georgie as part of the teen scene so that won't be missed. Bailey Lu is invisible anyway so...

JUST IN: WELL! William Lipton who had left GH,  made a post and said "See you in April"!! Go go She Knows Soaps for the details.  Even if it's just for a visit, this is great news. I like Cam and we know Liz needs a story! 

THERE YOU HAVE IT! A very disjointed week that left me not really paying attention. Yet again, GH fails to follow up on things. Where is Valentin? Why did Carly suddenly show up at Sonny's to yell about the funeral?  Why haven't they talked about the evidence at the Pier like the smashed vial? Where the heck has Nina been? While I liked when she and Curtis talked, it really was just filler. The Laura/Ezra/Sidwell/Sonny dance is just so dull. I don't know what I expected to happen after the shooting but it was surely more than we got. Nathan/Cassius? Ok, then get to it. We saw tiny signs he might not be Nathan but nothing exciting or creepy. Maybe I was just in a bad mood all week because it was my 'spring' break and the weather sucked here! 

Let's hope next week is more engaging! 

CHEERS! 

HOPPY EASTER
