Nellie and Michael. GOD> STOP.

Dearly Beloved

We are gathered together today to watch Sonny's Sob Story in Full Bloom. He takes full responsibility for Morgan's death. Cries. Says his life has had violence in it. Cries. He talks to all his loved ones.
He's sad..he's upset. He's the 'sole reason' Morgan died. He offered his hands for handcuffs. Jordan takes him in for questioning instead. He won't let Jason tell him what he found out. Zzzzz

Ava and Scotty in some 'secret' coffee place. She wants him to steal the drugs from Lucy. 

Nina..in Crimson playing with Yentl...paperdolls. Valentin wanders in later. 

Valentin comes up behind Laura at Wyndemere because he has no key. He tells her she can live there if she wants..she's "Family".  Then Kevin says she can move in with him! She says it's too soon. 

Emergency Surgery: Requiem For a Soap

Meet GH. 



The soap that's had a serial killer story line that offed a popular character by showing her strangulation in pretty brutal fashion. 




The soap that is teasing to have a formerly strong woman (who turned to drink in times of crisis) 'reunite' with the man that tried to slit her throat. 



The soap that had another woman change bipolar medication on a young character that was finally getting his life under control. Social message? Um, none. 



The soap that is having a rapist from a woman's past pop up again to drive a story about redemption of a serial killer/abuser because a great/popular actor was miscast into a role that was designed to be short term and jarring. 



The soap that glorifies a mobster to the point of having everything, even his child's death revolve and center around his internal pain/angst. Not that he ever tried to truly extract himself from the crime-ridden life. No, he and the writers celebrated it for years.  The story couldn't even be written if someone else (Ava) didn't mess around with Morgan's medication.  

What's left now? Oh, let me tell you what's left. 





A man on a bridge. Threatens suicide. Is stopped by an old friend who implores him not to waste his life because of all the 'goodness' left in it. We listened to Sonny's pain/angst and wrestling with conscience for weeks on this. And yet.... and yet.......
They can't let it go. 





Hell, no. Why not have Sonny get all up in the funeral too? I wondered why they needed that giant-assed coffin with no body. It was so Sonny could parade around it and lean on it and grieve his bitter, bitter tears.  It's a wonder that since Morgan's death happened October 7th, he has anything left in his ducts to squeeze out. 



His daughter is distraught. They've had some touching discussions. He has another son who's lost 2 girlfriends tragically and now his brother. His wife is going through her own personal hell. He has a toddler he wrenched away from her mother for 'protection'. 
But..what does Sonny do? 
The writers have him PULL A GUN at the funeral and threaten suicide. 
Again. 




Now, let's examine this. Does anyone really think Sonny will actually splatter his brains out all over his son's coffin?  I did hear they herded the kids out of the church but-- Come on. It's not going to happen. 
So what is? 



Oh Sonny...don't do it!! Jason! Will save the day!! Sonny you've got so much to live for! So much to give! I can hear it now. We can't even have a few weeks of Sonny manning up for any consequences before trying to take the easy way out and get the pity-party cranking. (Not to mention out right 'innocence' of the hit).  Sonny's done nothing to change, nothing to grow, the canvas never shifts because "he is what he is". 

EDITING **Note: Interesting thing came up on twitter. Friend Meghan suggests that perhaps Sonny will fake everyone out and open the coffin and put his gun in? DONE with the Lifffffe? Hmmm. What do you think? 
The only way I'd write this scene is if every person in that church stood up, turned their backs on him and walked OUT.  Have Carly and Alexis tell him they hope his insurance covers suicide. Someone else ask where he wants his ashes scattered.  No one cares if you called off the hit or not. NOPE...your business and your life caused this. Deal with it. Hopefully, the church ladies have a good cleaning service they use. 

Elephant (or empty coffin) in the room? No body. When Bryan Craig realizes he needs some money? I'm sure ol' Morgan will pop his ass back up again. Making yet another death on GH just plain worthless.

Good Bye Claire Labine

Writer of stories, Teller of Tales.
The soap world lost a great one, folks. If you haven't seen her work because you're too young, just watch a few old Ryan's Hope episodes. 100% character driven and family rooted, they were an amazing 30 minutes in daytime television. 

When she came on to GH in 1993, the show just burst with stories. Stone/Robin AIDS. Luke and Laura came back in the Pink Caddy-- she also created the Sonny/Brenda love story. The amazing part is that not only did she respect and embrace General Hospital history, she expanded on it in a way that made sense and also deepened characters. 

Daytime lost a great one. 

Sunday Surgery: The Blind Leading the Blind

NOTE In a week where I've drank and taken enough Xanax for 9 people, I PUBLISHED THIS EARLY...so I could either delete it, or leave it. 

Enjoy. BLOOP! 

After an awful week, I couldn't bring myself to jump back into GH. It was such a relief not to have to watch. I really didn't want to sit through sad Morgan funeral stuff. HOWEVER, I did look through Twitter and find some interesting screen shots I thought I'd try and caption for your pleasure. Hope you enjoy. 

I've been eating junk food all week so..here's some Doritos and tootsie rolls. 

SO, Do you think Sonny..

Will actually kill himself? Great material for MB but let's face it--if Sonny does top himself off it will be the biggest shock since...well.. Wed morning. Anyway, I put odds at 0:0. I see Nellie in some pictures with him. Yeah, whatever. Glad they got Krissy on once more. 

We also know Hayden and or Hammy aren't dying either. No suspense anymore. Even if anyone does die (see 3/4 of the cast) they come back. Ghosts, Zombies, real people. 



Happy this guy is back, always liked him with Laura Wright. Also glad Ingo's getting some cash influx to keep his Maui-Hanalaaa lifestyle intact. *Follow him on Instagram-- he has great photos of surfer life. 

I just looked at photos in the timeline on Twitter. I can see the funeral is FINALLY happening? Hayden passed out. 



Not much mumbler movement. (I kid, I kid... you know I love to kid the Jasammin's)



Is that PEE? 


**NOTE there WILL BE a total BLIND READING OF GH this Sunday for Surgery. I am gathering photos and doing the Surgery blindfolded. Just winging it. Might be entertaining?
