Look Alikes...Wubbly Twins

Ok doesn't Melanie Lynskey from Two and A Half Men look JUST LIKE Michelle Dockery From Downton Abbey?

New York City: Missing It's Soaps

 A City Without Soaps

There is a brilliant article in the New York Post regarding the last soap to leave NYC. When OLTL said good bye, a long tradition of daytime actors and crews left "the building" and surrounding bars. The article is full of fun quotes and personal stories. 


Bob Woods: 
“There’s not a time that goes by that you won’t hear gales of laughter from the crew, from everyone,” says Woods. A fan of pranks, he says he particularly liked to mess with actor Phil Carey, who played his father. “I would use black thread from wardrobe — you can’t see it on camera — and I’d tie it to a phone. If the phone rang, it would just float up out of its cradle. Or if someone had to pick something up you could pull it away from them when they’d reach for it. Or I’d drop a rubber chicken into the scene.”

New York soaps afforded actors like Slezak and Woods the unusual opportunity to play the same role for decades in what amounted to a reliable, high-profile profession. “It was a sustainable, valuable job for many actors in Manhattan,” says DePaiva. “Some wonderful theater performers would work [on soaps] during the day and moonlight on Broadway at night.”

“The reason it was so wonderful for actors in New York,” says Smith, “was that we were here for theater, which we did for the passion, for our art. And daytime was the closest thing to theater on TV.” Plus, she says, “it was a way to pay the bills. It was a great way to have a steady job in an industry without steady jobs.”

Erika Slezak:
“It leaves a huge hole in daytime TV and in the days of our fans,” says Slezak. “ABC tells us the audience doesn’t want entertainment anymore; that they only want information. I don’t buy that. I want something that will make me laugh, make me cry.”

Sunday Surgery: Memo To All Staff

Dear Staff Members:

It has come to my attention that many of you are engaging as what is being known as "Gurney-Gazing". Much like the "planking" fad, I have now seen YouTube videos taken by patients of our staff laying on gurneys staring at the ceiling. While I understand this is a controversial psychological treatment first tested in Sydney, it is also not a proven therapy. This conduct will not be tolerated any longer and I'm putting head nurse Epiphany on Gurney-Patrol from this point on. Please adhere to these guidelines. Thank You.

Monica Quartermaine, acting Chief of Staff, General Hospital  

Now that that's out of the way...on to the blog...

OLTL: Too Much Crazy for One Dang Day! :SPOILERS:

 ONE LIFE TO LIVE WAS TRENDING WORLD WIDE TODAY!!

 I loved all the crazy!! Loved Mitch talking about the "Ravens and the Vultures" because it's so ZOMBIE TALK!! wheeeeee!!
Alison was a fun girl. 
"Can I have some ice" says Hannah?
"You want ice, you psychopath? No, no ice for you"!! says Todd back
BO! NO!
SO, Clint is both Nat and Jessica's daddy...you know, without false DNA tests, soaps would have nothing to do!! It was hysterical to listen to Alison.
Todd and Hannah were an AWESOME pair. Just chatting. LOL Two cray-crays just sitting around. 
ELVIS COSTELLO SONG!! "Allison, thy aim is true"......... brilliant
Kris Alderson was fab today too as was Hilary B Smith. Both did a great job. Kris really cried well. 
THE ENDING!! DAMN, did not see that coming at ALL!! Only FIVE left.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason's fist might have a  Franco Robot implant! LOL. 


Monica and Liz seeing Ewan! He's not too hard to look at, that's for sure! It's probably a clause he has his shirt off every second day.

Monica, I love you but you are wrong to blame Liz about the Jake thing. Tracy and Monica!! And Tracy and AZ's picture in the paper. 


Michael is an idiot.


Sam pulled out a Pee stick box from her coat pocket. 
DEAR SAM: O is for OVULATION! ahahaa.


I love Maxie and AZ Too fun.

ExMayor Floyd is now the Todd Manning of PC. 


Wyndemere is officially stupid. I hate it. Bring the real characters back! Surely TC can't cost more than 3 newbies? 


LOOK: Did Spinelli get his hair cut in between scenes from Kelly's to Wyndemere? AHAHAA.


LOVED Robin and Liz...KM and RH have been on GH together forever. Not that you'd know it from the writers.

Francophrenia is GH Movie!!

The actor has turned his appearance on the daytime soap opera General Hospital into a "humorous psycho-thriller" called Francophrenia. The movie, which will debut at this year's Rotterdam International Film Festival, was made "by writing a new script for existing footage shot by Franco on General Hospital."
The feature, alternatively titled Don't Kill Me, I Know Where the Baby Is, will debute at the Rotterdam film fest Jan 25-Feb 6th.
HAHAAHAHAAA. Oh man, will Bob the Badger be in there? Numerous shots of Steve Burton's black tee shirts??

A Wubbly Chit-Chat on a Thursday

One of my old patients called me "The Chit-Chat" girl when I gave her therapy in rehab. It's actually a perfect description . I am the chit-chat girl! Whether it's on here or in therapy, that's what you get, my mouth running.
 

Looks like I'll be starting a new job in a few weeks! Which in a way, is great because GH is probably ending anyway and with a kid in college, I need some moolah. I bet I start right when the new writing starts to kick in or something!! LMAO...oh, it will be interesting. Maybe I can sneak in episodes at night. We'll see.  (or can I schedule everything AROUND GH?!! just like my old college classes?!!) OMG, I GOT THE JOB! They just called and I start TUESDAY!! How could I say: Uh, but..but OLTL is in it's last week! LOL OY!


One Life To Live. I want to say I personally like the stuff that's happening. It brings in old characters and storylines. Watching Ty and Roscoe is awesome. Remember--the thought they were going online pretty soon after ending the soap. That's why it's not all sugar and light.
Today's show-- LOVE Sam and his GUN!! Starr making out with Cole. Too bad BB had to mess up and not be on set for that. 
Friar Mitch...heh, I wanted him to bake some bread!! Natalie didn't need that short of a dress, thank you.
HANNAH and Lindsay both show up! LOL 
ALISON!! I did NOT know that was coming!! woot!! 
Another Oprah comment...they are getting her on this show. LMAO 
"Twin sisters from different misters-- Slutty Slut and Coo-Coo" Ppppppppft and I think Clint is really Jessica's father! 
Lindsay was brilliant. I love she and Nora!! Nora "You crazy bitch" heh. 
THE ENDING WAS AMAZE!! It's not even FRIDAY LOL
OLTL IS TRENDING IN THE US on Twitter!! 

Oh, now it's time for GENERAL GURNEY GAZING. 
"WHO'S the Daddy" crap... is so stupid and so overdone and so 1985. Kinda like Maxie's chartreuse dress.  What a horrific color.  Maxie thought Lulu was going to stay? LOL
Ewan and Molly--pass the feta!!  I did like the Molly and Sam  talk. ;)  Molly's in HS now! wow. MOLLY had on the same shirt that Maxie once wore. People saw it on twitter and NLG basically said "yep" AHAHAAA.
Alexis was hysterical in her menopause meltdown mode!  
Michael needs to be bitch slapped.  I don't care by whom. He's mouthy and unlikeable. I don't care if Abby did just die.
JMB looks like she has a baby bump but I know nothing. Just stating that fact. That sweater today was great but looked really flowing like the rest of her stuff lately.

Speaking of stars, someone at GH Has a FIXATION on them. Goodness. What's with the gurney-gazing? Will it turn into Gurney-Sex?? How bizarre. I wish for ONCE they'd try to show how a real hospital operates.  Just a BIT. Look at all the successful medical shows, GH could really ramp it up in that area. Having doctors and nurses lay around -- well.. I'm at a loss. Easy stuff to write though. Epiphany should be shown laying on one, throwing stuff up in the air to the ceiling saying "let's see what those fools make of this"!!


NEW SPOILERS ARE UP!! 

Rick Springfield Does HOT In Cleveland!

Rick Springfield is coming to Cleveland, but concert tickets are not available. The '80s Jesse's Girl icon, who appeared as Dr. Noah Drake on General Hospital, will pop up this summer on an episode of TV Land's  Hot in Cleveland. 
Rather than going after Jesse's girl, Rick will have his eye on Joy (Jane Leeves). In the storyline, Rick has relocated to Cleveland to live a quieter life (where he, too, is considered hotter!) and tells people his name is Tom. 
Leeves was in an '80's TV series called "Throb" about a record company...wonder if they'll reference that at all!
