Maurice Benard Gets "Cake Bossed"!

At one of his events in NY this weekend, Maurice and Paula got a cake from none other than the Cake Boss himself!! Happy Anniversary to them!!
PS. Buddy would make a great guest cameo on GH!

I took this from Facebook, Maurice's Fan Page.  If anyone was there, let us know!! 

Sunday Surgery: Flat Affect

Oh, Wubbers. Did I ever think there would come a day when I'd struggle with what to say about GH? Not  really but here I am. Struggling. 
Don't get me wrong. GH is way better than it was a year ago in ever way. I enjoy the day to day dialog and feel a rejuvenation coming off the cast. So...what is it?
I think about the things going on (Jerry, Lante PG, Olivia hallucinations, yada yada) and see potential. It's just not jelling for me. I'm  being honest. You know I'm a Cartini cheerleader from day one. But I've been just underwhelmed. I love the Todd addition...but I want more integration. More people at MEnterprises. Why hasn't he taken over ELQ yet and descend on Tracy/Michael?  Anna is MIA at a critical juncture. Felicia disappeared. Mac's got one bar scene. 
GH has a history of isolation and you can feel it now all over again. Sonny's in his back room at the warehouse. Stories that are chopped up. Long lags between things happening.
To be BRUTALLY honest...? This GH makes me miss OLTL more and more. *sigh*
Sorry. 
Scrub Up... I'm ready to unload!

Daytime Confidential: ABC's Daytime Shift FAIL!

Take a spin over to Daytime Confidential's awesome article on the absolute FAILURE of ABC's decision to replace it's beloved soaps with a show about food...another one about...er who can remember and it's newest: Good Afternoon America.

Only 1.36 million total viewers tuned in for GAA the week of July 30. The limited-run series was off One Life to Live's numbers among the coveted women 18-49 demo by a devastating 70 percent. Things weren't much better for The Chew. While the foodie fest nearly tied CBS Daytime's The Talk in total viewers (1.89 million vs. 1.86 million), The Chew was off All My Children's W18-49 digits by 41 percent.  Network daytime talk show leader The View was watched by 2.58 million the week in question

Why Josslyn, How you've grown!!

Alberta is going to miss her fave Joss--and the adorable twins that played her.  They LOVED Alberta when she visited the set. Carly was all glittery today-- kinda weird for Mom at Home in Western NY. I still don't get how Johnny could get out of the mob when no one else could. EVER.  His hair looked like low flow shower head ala Kramer today. 
Ewan is taking Josslyn 

Sonny was so cute with NuXtina !! He was all chuckly. Here's the ring giggle. (Still say if Brenda came through that door-- :HOT POTATO KATE:)
And Krissy was all bitchy at McBain in Kelly's. SHUT UP.
Sonny and John's little talk. 'I'm not gonna let dis dirt bag come near  my family'... good LAWS. lol 
Again Shaun and Molly and TJ are just hanging out there in the wind. Such a good way NOT to build a story. 

JaSam-- the angst has been going on with these two since they decided to get married.  No BEFORE they decided to get married. (should we, shouldn't we? well..maybe..ok, no...well, yes. ok. not sure).
"I never wanted that baby to be gone" says Jason. Oh now you say that. He wants forgiveness. 
We need to get a divorce. 

I'm glad  Jen Lilley was on too, I'm going to miss her. I will be happy to see Kirsten though. Both bring something to Maxie. Of course, KS was there before Jen so it will feel like 'home'. 

Jerry and Alexis-- a bit of fun. 'You moved the satellite"?? "I moved the satellite"!! Finally Alexis gets something to do besides worry about her teens or some case! Little bit of danger for Natasha.   Jerry's gonna save her--and Josslyn. 

ConKate--and Ewan (whom I feel no sympathy for) zzzzzzzzzzzz. Ewan is just a pawn. And yes he's 'hot' but hot does not a character make. (Wubs Words O' Wisdom) 

Dante was bringing Olivia gelato....let's hope she doesn't think it's a can of bugs or something. LOL 

AND TREY GETS BACK FROM ATLANTIC CITY IN RECORD SETTING TIME TODAY!! Had to be at least 10minutes!! LMAO 

The Jacks!

Sebastian Roche just tweeted this awesome photo! 

Guys,  I have a migraine starting today-- I'm not sure if I'll be able to blog later. We'll see. Usually I have to fall asleep to get them to go away. I'll DVR it...

Boxing Ring o' Sonny

Oh goodness. Sonny's boxing Trey. "I don't do brunch," says Sonny. MILO was back!

Olivia's going to go a little nutty... which should be fun. She sees Lulu as giant pregnant. So, she's psychic?? HUH? Weird.  Or clairvoyant. Or something.

Starr said HONEY BADGER! She convinces Todd to drop the charges against McBain. 
"Maybe someday in the near future you can make a good decision without me having to blackmail you"..says Starr to Todd

Alexis mentioned John seeing Synchronized Swimming  when he went to London.  LOL She wanted to know why he kissed Sam. He didn't really answer.
 
Sam and Krissy's talk. I would have liked it with Lexi.. this was just  blah. Sometimes the new girl looks/sounds older than Kelly !! LOL. 

Johnny visits JOEY in Jail...and Joe's trying to talk him into joining forces to get Sonny. Whatever. I don't care.

LULU throws up in some random bin in the hospital.

BIGGEST QUESTION OF THE DAY? Why did TREY keep his shirt on while boxing?? I mean...why? WHY? WHY????????

Who did  you see? 

I saw someone lookin' at me!
