TO Hell and Back

Well, it's 9/11 and every year I'm reminded that GH was off the air for weeks due to all the coverage-- rightly so, of course. At the time, I didn't think I'd ever watch "normal tv" again. The story of the hour when everything changed was "The End Game"--Cassadine-Spencer feud. The ending was changed because of the climate of the times and it felt for awhile anyway, that the anchor of GH was just blowing in the wind. It was also when I was first on the net, in the AOL folders and no one could believe what was happening. There wasn't any Twitter-- or Facebook, we only had these boards to talk on. Soap Zone was up so there was a lot of discussion there. Big Brother 2 was going, and a few places were chat rooms for that show. Just scary times. 

Heroes All....

TODAY'S SHOW:  

Rocco's birthday. He and Charlotte are on. Olivia comes over with Italian food.  Dante is worried that Valentin will take her away.

Lulu sees Ava sign Val's paper..wants to know what it is.  UGH we are going to do this Charlotte crap even MORE?? Lulu lays into Ava. Ava lies about what they were talking about. She says a tapestry is being sold to him for Wyndemere. 

Carson is at GH-- Sonny says the 5 Families are so happy he's still in the mob! It's a good "Balance of Power"!   They are talking about moving in together but Sonny's worried about security. 

Sam WON'T MOVE FROM JASON'S BEDSIDE damn it!! Jason--of whom we don't see his face. I think Miller was doing his contract at this point.  She finally goes when Grffin says he needs to be alone with him to do an eval.  Sam gets all pissy with Carly about Jason's condition. She seems to think Carly knows more than she does? HUH?
Griffin comes out and says the longer Jason is unresponsive, the more likely he wont' recover. He suggests long term facility. Sam freaks out. She's mad at everyone. She lashes out at Carly and Liz.

Sonny takes Griffin to the Metro to ask him "spiritual questions"..."Why was Jason punished and not me"? 

Kiki brings over the poster for Franco's art show. (Title: TO Hell and Back)  He's going to go see Heather though. He is all upset that Jason isn't waking up. "We are connected" he says. 
When Franco goes to see Heather, she won't see him.  He gives the guard the photo to show her an the BLT he brought. She still refuses to see him. 

Ava tells Kiki she's going to a spa. 


OMG. this is just like PULLING TEETH today..wow. zzzzzzzzzzzz

Sunday Surgery: Lame Duck

Seeing Double Ducks? 

Why do I feel like these last ending weeks of Jean P's leaving as GH co-headwriter are just...well..not much about anything?? We know St. Jaysus is do back on Sept 18th (or 19th depending on who you read) so it just feels like giant limbo.
That makes my job easy! I'm back to school, and have my first cold so I'll keep it short. 

We sure aren't having duck this Sunday so maybe some Malt Duck? Who remembers that? :giggle: 

Punching Bag

IT's Thursday and here we go! I'm home at 2:00 so let's see how it goes. 

Curtis lost ROXY! Oh no!! They look for her. Sexual tension ensues. They kiss. BUT! Jordan pulls away because, you know. Gotta keep this see-saw going. 

Jake talks to Franco. May as well just kill off Cam and Aiden at this point. It's just a joke. Franco talks to him about Jason being in the hospital. Screw you Cam and Aiden LOL. Jake pulls out a photo of Old Face Jason saying how different he looks now. Later, Liz and Franco talk about what it would be like if Jason lived with his old face and this guy showed up. It was confusing but obviously in there for a reason.

Liz talks to  Sonny--filler. OMG for ONE line...then Michael comes along and Sonny can be all guilty with him.  Then Sonny leaves and... Bobbie comes in to talk to Michael. I take it they can't have everyone in one place? 




Carly talks to God. HE Is even bored up there in heaven. I think I've seen 900 chapel scenes in my lifetime. 
Sonny comes in. He's all mumbly and his BIZ and Jason and how now he has to stay in Da Biz. Carly is all cool with that and wants to be by his side..even if she has to protect everything. 

Ava and Griffin. "Don't go" says Griffin to Ava.  Ok, I'm not seeing any sexy in his voice. Seriously.  Maura is selling this 900% but boy Griffin is just flat as a pancake here. Not feeling this!! 
Griffin says he's still honoring his celibacy vow. Huh?  Ava leaves. 
Later, Sonny comes in and punches the bag as well. Ava is gone. 
Ava goes home to call Valentin to get the face-fix 

END: Jake gives Franco a photo of Jason as a kid..looks just like his imaginary friend! Ergo, I would think if the FIRST Jason was with Franco then Jason 2.0 and Old Jason are identical?  Not that I care. 


Chris Van Etten is not listed as co-head writer yet. Still has Jean on there. 

Back to School!

LATE!!  First day back to work and holy heck, I'm tired!! LOL... 3-5 year olds take it out of you!! 

OK HERE I AM: 

Griffin pulled away from Ava-- he wanted her to "heal" not kiss her, geesh. Ava is horrified. Poor Ava. Who says no to MW's charms? Ava reads Griffin hard-- "you won't let anyone touch you"!! "You are the one hiding"!! They need to have Matt C just be the hot sex man we know he can be. I can't stand him like this. 
Oh her face make up is awesome. 

Krissy and Parker. Lexi looks really good--now get Valerie back on here. YEAH! She comes out and Parker is so jealous!! 

Carly and Michael talking about the VIO-LANCE.  Carly blames herself about the five families and the shooting of Jason.  Michael says No..Jason wouldn't want that. They go to GH. 



Sam cryin' to Jason not to die.
Whatever. I think Sam has been at "a Jason's bedside" at least 30x in my viewing lifetime and he's been to hers 22. UGH. Weren't we JUST here? Wasn't Sam having a damn viral attack? God those kids aren't going to know their parents. And I hope they have great insurance.  Molly comes in and says Danny wants to see his parents. YOU THINK? 

Sonny in Jason's room..at his bedside "I think I know what I have to do" he says. (Stay in the mob, right??) 

Dante is in the chapel.. thinking about Jason. HE wishes Sonny liked him as much as he likes Jason.  LOL. Lulu thinks Sonny might get out of the mob. AHAHAHA. Yeah, nope. 

Last Rites

Oh WHO COULD have stolen that necklace? Oh, Valentin has it...gives it to Nina in front of the Security guard. Probably all paste now LMAO 

Anna is talking to Maddox about the jewel heists. NICE to remember he was in WSB. Thank you. 
So, I suppose the Valentin being a jewel thief COULD be good if they write it right and exciting. (stop laughing). COULD HAPPEN! 
Maddox wonders why Anna wants to do the diamond thing. She doesn't want revenge on Valentin, she wants to follow the case. Valentin sold jewels to this "Cassandra" person.  She's the one that would market them.
I am speculating that Valentin is also Cassandra :)  LOL

Griffin and Dr. Dave-- they are talking about Marasol. She's paralyzed. Her parents are crying. "What can you do for her Dr.""??  He calls the hospital priest to give her last rites.  Griffin comes out crying--he yells at Ava.  Marasol is dead.  He goes to the gym and works out his upset on the boxing bag. Ava sees him shirtless. Swoons. 

So, Kiki goes on a an observation with Dr. Dave. He asks her what she speculates is wrong. She is hesitant, he is gruff. She says the patient's tremor could be due to being nervous with Dr. Dave. He's all gruff again. Calls her JEROME-- as in "Hop to it, Jerome"!!  He says later she has empathy and is doing well. 

Curtis doesn't have Hayden with him. Finn is bummed. Curtis found a trail and it led to LAX and then Hayden called him. She told  him to go to a hotel room and there he found a suitcase. (but no Hayden). Hayden wrote a letter to Finn.  "forgive me but forget me'. Um, you got his baby in there, girlie. SO...NOPE. 
OH! Wait...Hayden writes she lost the baby-- Finn cries hard. So does Hayden (in another frame). Is she lying or???
YEP She is..they show her later, standing up, still pregnant. LOL I knew it. She'll return at some point with a kid in tow. As old as time, that story! 

END: 

Kiki calls Dillon..I think he might have a fever? Is he sick?? 

Sunday Surgery: Singing the Bluesberry-Jam

It will come out! Use some soda water and baking soda!! 

The weeks are FLYING BY! Now it's September and the 'end' of summer on soaps. If GH had any sense (and the money and 1/2 the cast) the Morocco jaunt COULD have been a fun August fling. Little adventure, intrigue--Cassadine shennanigans. But.. you know. Nelle was there so...sad horn. Giggle 

You know we are eating jelly donuts, right? 

Squirt Guns

I totally forgot about Silas and Anna LMAO-- hee hee. WELP.  They are all upset about A) the diamonds and B) Hayden.  Guess who's worried about who.

Diane and Alexis are on-- yeah!! They are at the Floating Rib.  Diane says Sonny's going legit. Alexis laughs "yeah, that worked out really well with Julain, right"??  Diane explains why Max is better than Julian. Doesn't lie to her, respects her yada yada. 
SUCH GREAT dialog about Julian and Alexis fighting her feelings for him. I can't get into it all, but Diane is mad that Alexis is compromising herself and Alexis is explaining her feelings. Nice and felt very natural. CH and NLG did a great job. Bravo. 

Jake and Franco playing Squirt Guns. Jake finds the Bro Photos. Jake wants to find more. Franco says no.  Jake is so into Franco's 'imaginary friend'! 



The kids are at Monica's... Sam is waiting for the surgery.  CarSon brought food for her. Awww. 
Then CarSon talk about the damn shooting a million times. OMG, get this Sonny says he HAS to stay in the mob because everyone ELSE is so nasty!! Yep. HE's gotta be the good one in there. OMG AHHAAAA
Then Carly says that Sonny getting out was a stupid idea. She knew who he was, and shouldn't have asked him to do that!! She's so sorry. (Barf) 
Later, Franco walks in. The boys (I guess Cam and Aiden were home in the attic) are with Lindsey. He finds out Jason is shot. Says he's sorry to Sam. She says "get out of my face".  Carly yells at him too. He goes and pouts. 
Sam texts Alexis about Jason. Alexis leaves and goes to GH.

Anna and Finn are visiting RayHay's Dad.  They argue a lot. It was kind of strange.  Then they talk to her Dad. He says no way is the Montenegro diamond from that necklace. Not his. Nope. He says he doesn't know where Hayden is. That's it.

SO..if the diamond and necklace is gone-- maybe Valentine did both? He's an international jewel thief?? 

OMG my cable went out at 2:54!! I DIDN'T SEE THE VERY END! On a Friday!!? Seriously!!? GEESHHH!! Sorry. Someone on twitter said at the end Curtis texted Finn and said he found Hayden. 

The summer is sure winding down, no?? WOW.. Labor day is coming soon!  Oh, "Squirt Guns"... why that title? Jake was hosing down Franco with one!
