Sunday Surgery In a Pickle

 

Well, another week where I'm not quite sure what to say about our soap! I made it live for all 5 days and I must say, I was underwhelmed. I know we can't have all flash and pizazz every week but I want a bit more than I'm seeing!! 

The week was 'off' in that we were interrupted by the baseball shenanigans last week so the Friday wasn't a "Friday" and most felt like filler. I'm wondering if they re-shuffled to move things along. 

I'm going to have a nice iced coffee with cold foam!! Here we go go !

 

I just like this photo.. they weren't on today

So I was UNDERWHELMED yesterday that's for sure. I really REALLY wanted the Nathan/Britt thing to take off and at least be a bit mysterious but.. nothin'. Spinelli is the smartest guy in the room lately! 

TODAY'S SHOW

Tracey asks Ronnie if she's still there. "Of course I am" she says, "This is my house, Monica gave it to me". Tracey says Ronnie can't use Lila's tea set. Ronnie wants Tracey to tell her about adult Monica. Tracey says no and she knows Ronnie is running a scam and she's going to prove it. 

Michael comes in and talks to Ronnie. She says he should have gotten the house. Then they talk about Drew's shooting. He tells her about the whole crypt thing. She also learns that Drew slept with his wife. She gives wise, mature type advice. 

Portia gets Dr. Navarro to speed up her blood work to see if she's really pregnant. She's 7 weeks. 

Isaiah daydreams about having zex with Portia. Lucas comes in and is like: Where you at? They talk about the cabin that's almost done. Lucas asks if he's seeing anyone. 

Drew has Jordan come visit him so she can 'Save Curtis". He thinks Curtis might have shot him and doesn't want him to go to jail because he wants Michael to go. He wants Jordan to help him frame Michael. She's like: NOPE. Leaves. Then runs into Portia who's talking to Dr Navarro.  

Portia goes to see Liz and tells her she is pregnant. Tells her that she and Curtis are having problems and CURTIS MIGHT NOT BE THE FATHER!!! DUN DUN DUN Then Anna bangs on the door with a warrant to search Elizabeth's house. 

Curtis is in his office and Michael comes in. He's not nervous about being charged with murder, he's sure the real culprit will be caught. 

Anna thinks ADA messed up and did the address on purpose. ADA is like "it's a TYPO" Anna's like: I DON'T THINK SO. Then they talk about the security footage from Nina's apartment. Willow's alibi is gone. Why is she lying? 

Willow is at Liz' .  She talks about Michael and she was glad they talked. She'd do anything to be with her kids. She leaves to work at the hospital. Goes to see Drew. Tells him she's going to see her kids today. He wonders what the catch is. 

Sonny goes to Bobbie's to harass Lulu about the article she wrote about the shooting. He thinks that she made it sound like Michael was guilty. Lulu says it wasn't written like that. She's getting all upset because she doesn't want it to be Michael, they are family. He leaves. Tracey comes in. Lulu did some digging on Ronnie and gives her an envelope. She found nothing. She won a pie baking contest in Durham. Tracey isn't happy. 

Sonny is at Diane's and got the ADA there on the pretense that Diane was going to meet with her. Oh, so tricky.  Sonny basically says Michael better not be charged with the shooting. She can't prosecute because she heard Drew threaten Michael when she was at Sonny's making pizza. 

END: 

DREW is trying to talk Willow out of seeing the kids, he thinks it's a trap

Anna finds the gun in Liz' house. Liz has to go to the station. They wonder where Willow is. 

NOTE: AIDEN mention, he was at school today. Ergo, he's home from his trip with Lucky. Scout was at school too. 

Foggy Docks

 

So, GH is dragging a bit for me and not sure why. Maybe today it will snap me back up!! Could be that I'm busy so by the time I get settled, I'm TIRED! 

Nathan is getting up and leaving GH. Britt is surprised he wants to go. She wants to "talk" he says after he's out. They don't really SAY anything. Then Spinelli walks in. Spin wants to talk about James. Britt yells at him and says NOT THE TIME. She and Nathan never talk.

Spinelli confronts Britt in the hall. He thinks it's weird that both of Faison's kids are back from the dead. She like: SO? He says he doesn't think Nathan knows what's going on but SHE does. She says she went to Croatia to build a new life. Period. 

Spinelli goes in to talk to Nathan alone. They talk about James and Maxie and how hard all this is for the kids. Bonding time. 

Dante and Anna talk about the gun. That "info" board is just sad at this point. He finds out that Monica has a sister. They talk about Carly being the shooter--maybe. Then Michael might be the one.

Michael is at Liz' waiting for Willow. She says she's so sorry about Monica. She's worried about them all. He got the text about the custody case being moved until January. Willow cries. HE says it's too long for her not to see the kids. She can see them but Drew can't. Only if it's supervised by a family therapist. She doesn't like that. The therapist could be a plant and end up telling the court in January she's an unfit mother. He's like: take it or leave it.

Joss is talking to Carly about Vaughn being a WSB agent. She's crying, Carly's so sad. Joss says she was going to invite Jack to dinner and was at the WSB agency and saw Vaughn. Carly realizes that Jack knew all along that Vaughn was WSB.  She's PISSED. 

Brennan asks Jason who's more important to him: Carly or Britt. They argue. Waste of a scene, imo. AnyHOO, Jason isn't going to tell about Joss being WSB. Brennan gets a summons from Carly to go to her house. He goes over. Carly makes Joss leave the room. She lays into Brennan. Screams at him. SCREAMS. 

Britt tells Jason to tell Spinelli to lay off. Jason says she's really not been upfront about what's been going on. It's dumb convo.

Vaughn and Joss meet. She tells him that she told Carly he was WSB. Brennan didn't tell her to do it lol. She thought if it herself because he told her to distract Carly while he talked to Jason. She figured Carly would find out anyway so...aw, Vaughn is proud of her. BUT! They must stay away from each other!! 

END: 

Voss kiss then say goodbye

Carly wants to trust Brennan, they hug

Willow agrees to one hour a week with a therapist

Britt tells Jason to stay away from her

Nathan and Spin say they'll put Spinelli first

Anna finds out that the security footage in Nina's apartment blows Willow's alibi out of the water. 

Sweaty Kiss

 

Continuation of yesterday. 

Emma is sad Gio is moving out but glad he's staying in town. He says it's time. Then Kai and Trina walk into the gym. Emma talks to Trina about Gio. BORING

Curtis goes in to see Portia, she hides the PG test. He says he thinks Drew doesn't have the blackmail material on her anymore. He says that Drew hasn't said a word lately. He wants  confront him and see what he knows. Isaiah tried to stop him. Portia says he's just looking out for his boss.

Joss and Britt spar about Joss getting her a room at The Metro. Then Brennan walks up and tells Britt he's WSB. Britt walks away. Brennan says he'll take care of the Metro sit with Britt. He has a new assignment for her.

Then he talks to Britt and tells her she'd better come in and talk to the WSB. "Don't lie or you'll end up in Steinmauer like your mother". 
Willow sees them talk and tells Britt it looks like she has her own problems.

Drew is up and walking. He wants Willow to come and live with Scout back at his house when he gets out of GH. She says they like it at Liz' and going to that house without her kids would be hard. He says "Um, I think I want my daughter there and we are moving to a better place" She says she hasn't been being honest with him. She says she's afraid it will hurt her custody case. She then gets a text from the court and they won't reassign a judge until January. That's NOT UNTIL NEXT YEAR she yells. Drew says he'll get her kids back. Portia walks in, yells at Liz for being there and not in the ER. She leaves. Portia tells Drew she's IN CHARGE, got a problem with that? They call Drew's bluff and Drew says he doesn't have the energy to do anything right now and because he's 'healing". Portia and Curtis go to the hall and say; YEP! He's got NOTHIN!

Carly goes to Liz' house and wants to know what she told the police about her saying she was going to kill Drew. Liz is like; Um, should we be talking about this? Liz says they didn't follow up. Carly's like: Huh, I told them you were a witness. That's weird. Liz says you should be happy you're not a suspect. Then Liz gets a call from the plumber and goes upstairs. Carly waits downstairs. Kinda weird scene. Then, Carly leaves.

At the Q house, Chase says: Ok, the address is wrong but can we search anyway. Anna says no, we will wait but don't touch anything in the house in the meantime! They leave. Jason thanks Ronnie. Ronnie asks who's a suspect in shooting a congressman? They go through other stuff and yada yada. They talk about the gun being Edwards'. Ronnie is going back to her motel but Jason says she can stay there because it's her house now. Tracey says he's crazy. Jason leaves. Michael then says he's not going to contest the will, as far as he's concerned the house is Ronnie's. The police come back with a corrected warrant and search.

Anna wonders how the ADA could get it wrong because she's so detail oriented. She hopes Jason doesn't try to clean the Q house up to protect Michael. 

END: 

They don't find the gun at the Qs

Curtis says things will be over when they arrest someone for Drew's shooting.

Marty says they need to call the PCPD about Portia and Curtis but Drew says no! They'll know he's a blackmailer and anyway it has to be Michael.

Michael goes to Liz' house now...looking for Willow. Looking REALLY SHIFTY. 

Emma and Gio figure out they like each other and make out at the gym.

Joss tearfully tells Carly she and Vaughn are over because he's WSB. (that was Brennan's plan)

PUPPY WUB

 

So, I got to thinking about the meeting Martin had with Tracey before the reading of the Will and ..he sure did hint he might be behind all this. We know he found the letter from the sister at Drew's house long ago. BUT--if he did set this up, HOW did he get a bogus Will put in there to Miller and Davis? Plus, Alexis read it, you'd think she'd know about it. I'm hoping they drop some clues today so we can see what's happening. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Tracey smells a rat. Alexis says that Monica amended her Will in January and used another lawyer. Tracey says she was always going to leave the house to Michael. They talk about the fact it was changed after Monica threw Drew out of the house. Ronnie produces the letters Monica wrote to her. Brook goes to look for the letters Ronnie wrote to Monica. Ronnie tells everyone why Monica and her had a falling out. Basically, Ronnie turned up to live with Monica but she didn't want her there. She was married to Jeff Webber and a doctor and Ronnie was beneath that. 

Anna is talking to Chase about a warrant for the Qs to look at the gun collection. He leaves and Emma comes in to talk about kissing Gio. She's just feeling so AWKWARD about it. OMG SHE'S 21 and she's talking to her GRANDMOTHER ...and feeling weird about a KISS? This is bad. Sorry but.. yikes.

Chase comes in and says: We got the warrant. Everyone is like WHAT! Tracey says they need a lawyer. Anna says: Um, that doesn't matter--warrant. Then she asks if Michael wants to look at it because he inherited the property. Ronnie says that was HER and she should look at it. 

Gio is at Sonny's gym and talks to him about liking Emma. Oh brother. He also feels weird about the kiss thing, gramps!! OMG What do I do! Can I come live with you?

So then Emma comes into the gym and the kids talk in the corner while Sonny talks to the ADA about young love. 

At Bobbie's Britt starts to say something about the rent and spilling and Joss tells her mom she's out of line asking her for money. "She saved my life". Britt leaves. Joss talks to Carly about why she doesn't like Britt. "Are you jealous"? Carly's like NO! I just feel like something big happened when Jason went to go see Britt in Croatia and he's not telling me. Joss looks guilty.

Curtis and Isaiah talk about Portia in the hall of GH. They banter and Isaiah gets in his face about 'using' Portia's position to visit a patient. Then Britt tries to calm them down. Isaiah leaves and Britt tells Curtis it's a bad idea to visit him. Then Liz comes over. Britt leaves. 

Liz takes Portia's pulse and wonders if she could be pregnant. She gets Portia some coconut water. Later, Portia flashbacks to sleeping with Curtis and then Isaiah in quick order. Isaiah comes in to talk to her about the argument with Curtis. She says stay away from him. He leaves. She goes and gets a PG test.

Alexis calls Sonny and tells him to have Carly and him meet her at Bobbie's ASAP. 

END: 

Alexis tells CarSon that they are probably looking at Michael as the shooter

Ronnie says the warrant has the wrong address on it

Emma is sad Gio wants to move out

PORTIA IS PREGNANT

The Pickle-Lila Story

 

Since the story first ran in 1984, I'm not sure how many of you remember it!! Believe it or not, Sean Donnelly and Monica executed a hostile takeover of ELQ, leaving the Qs almost destitute. Who saved the company?? Lila of course!! With her relish, they got their wealth back and the rest is history! Or is it? In 2013, the only thing Edward left Tracey was a single jar of the pickle. At the time AJ took over ELQ and Tracey was left out in the cold. She took the jar, had the ingredients studied and started "Pickle Eddie". AJ was trying to build back the empire with his own Pickle-Lila and if you can believe it, they actually were on the ABC show "THE CHEW" together in a competition. Everyone on the CHEW got sick from eating both jars and that's when it was revealed that ... FRANCO (now played by Roger Howarth) had tainted the mixtures. 

Yes, FRANCO. -- Thus, history was born. I guess. LOL. Who knows. I wonder where this jar will lead Tracey!! Maybe Monica hid part of the Ice Princess in there. 

THE READING

 

OF THE WILL TODAY!! FINALLY! woot! 

Here we go!! 

Britt goes into her room and Jason is there. She throws him out. He comes back and gives her back his key. He's packing up all his stuff. They talk about Spinelli and Nathan. He wants to know why she didn't want James to see his dad. She says it would be overwhelming for Nathan and she was worried about James meeting his dead father. He says she's a 'good person' :EYEROLL:/

Brennan and Carly eat breakfast at the counter in Bobbie's. They get all mushy. She can trust him. Yada yada. Then Spy Girl Joss comes back in. She was on her flight from Australia and then wanted a BLT. Brennan is not amused. Carly gets a call from The Metro. Joss says: Oh, she doesn't know about me then? He says she will NEVER know. Says he'll talk to Jason and Britt will be quiet too. He leaves. Carly sits and talks to Joss. Then Britt walks down. OH Josslyn long time no see! You're ALIVE? WHAT? "Joss" is such a bad actress lol... Carly wants Britt to pay rent. She says Jason is. Carly says NO HE's NOT! 

Drew gets examined by Isaiah and wants to know why he's being such a dick to him. Isaiah says he tried to blow up Stella's life. Drew then dogs on Curtis and says he's a jerk. LOL "Have you seen how he treats his wife"? They go back and forth about Curtis. 

Isaiah goes to talk to Portia about "their relationship". Portia doesn't want anything serious, can he live with that?

Curtis goes to Alexis' house about what the PCPD knows about the shooting. She says they are close to making an arrest based on them cancelling a meeting with her. She says she doesn't know if he's guilty or innocent but to 'get his ducks in a row'.

He meets Marshall at Bobbie's to talk about the blackmail stuff Drew had at his house on Portia 'could be trouble". They discuss if Portia could have done it.

Marty and Tracey are meeting at Bobbie's before the reading of the Will. Drew is suing her for throwing him out of the church and adding more injury/trauma plus emotional distress. She's like: "Meh, stupid lawsuit, see you later".

Marty visits Drew. Drew freaks out when he finds out Monica's will is being read today. Martin says: Um, don't be, you're not in it. Drew says it's liberating because now, he has nothing to lose.

AT THE Q HOUSE: Olivia asks Michael if she can FINALLY get a pizza oven because she's wanted one for years (assuming he'll get the house). Ned answers the door. Ronnie is there "I'm a member of the family".  Ned introduces her to everyone. She's going to answer their questions. She tells them what Monica said about each of them. All good. Ned looks suspicious. Tracey comes in. Wants to throw her out but Alexis says she was asked to be there. 

Monica left things to the staff and Yuri we didn't hear. Her grandkids/great grandkids she left trusts. Ned gets her vinyl collection, Brook gets her pearl necklace and Olivia gets her cookware. Ronnie gets an old locket with their old photos in it. Tracey gets a box ...she says "what the hell is this"????? it's Pickalila which is what Edward left Tracey when he cut her out of the Will. "IS this a JOKE" she asks? 
Jason comes in. Alexis gives him Alan's watch and Monica says she cherishes Jason. Michael gets horses, cars and yacht. The rest goes to... VERONICA BARD, the sister of my heart!! 

DUN DUN DUN....

Oh, almost forgot. Portia feels faint and queasy. Liz tells her to sit down. WONDER WHY? hahahahahahaha
