DAYTIME EMMY Awards

 

I was sad Finola didn't win best actress but happy that Michelle gave her a shout out. The show was slow but at least it was on CBS and looked like a "real" awards show!! GH table looked the most fun. 

W

Tequila?

 

More pool stuff. Nina sees Drew in the pool with Willow and Wylie. Looks a little jelly. Wylie runs to Nina and hugs her. Cynthia had to be on vacation, she looks fabulous and her hair!! amazzzzzing. They have a weird convo about Sunscreen and I think it was messed up and they improvised because it was weird. Nina is happy to see Drew playing with Wylie in the pool 

Gio runs into Trina (literally) and asks about Joss/Dex. She tells him they are exhausting but she loves them. Says they broke up over Joss' ex step father "Sonny Corinthos, who is awful". Gio gives her a mean look. He says his family loves Sonny. Then wonders why Trina looked at him so weird when they first met. She says that out of the corner of her eye, he reminds her of someone she knew and cared about. He asked what happened. She says he died. Then she runs out. 

Dex says hello to Gio. Sees Joss. Gives her the eyeballs. They talk to Trina. She says he looks pretty good after the wedding fight. No signs. 

Chase and Book Lyn talk about what to do about Finn (in their apartment). They talk SO MUCH ABOUT ALCOHOLICS it's ANNOYING. We get it, and I've seen damn addiction stories on soaps since the 70s. ENOUGH. They are worried about Violet. Brook wants to take her on their honeymoon but Chase says they can't take her out of the country. They decide to tell her she's going to the Quartermaine Summer camp and they'll move back to the Qs and have Violet there to do fun stuff. 

JAKE is in The BROWN DOG with his friends and the friends have fake ID but he doesn't. THEN he sees FINN at the bar with Barb, drinking. Jake is like @@!!!!!! DOH!! Barb is flirting with Finn big time. Jake says I GOTTA GO!! Then the kids get beers. Jake says Finn's Dad just died and he'd never do that to HIS MOM.. but Finn then buys a bottle to take home. 

Barb keeps flirting. Finn says he's on a trip to PC and she says maybe she can make it "memorable" bada bing.  Jake sees him kiss Barb and leave with her. He's mad and gets up and leaves too.  
Barb and Finn make out in his apartment, filled with his Dad's boxes. 

END: 
Liz catches Finn with Barb on the couch and sees the tequila

OH!! Jake called Jason and on MONDAY he comes in and tells Finn to let Liz go!! Squee!! 

Jake goes to GH and tells Liz he saw Finn leaving a dive bar with a woman and it was clear they had both been drinking.  Liz is like UM.. I'll take care of this. She leaves. Jake calls someone on the phone and says that Liz needs them. (Jason??) 

POOL's OPEN

 

Finn sees Chase watching him drink. Georgie shows up and Maxie and her take Violet to the pool and Vi is sleeping over at Maxie's. Brook realizes something is up with Finn the way Chase looks at him. Finn just wants to go to his apartment alone. He and Violet have a touching moment and he leaves. Chase tells Brook he thinks Finn just wants to go drink. Chase doesn't think he knows Finn AT ALL! 

Finn goes back to his apartment and starts boxing up Greg's clothes. WHO DOES that when you just had the memorial? Anyway... he looks at an AA brochure. He tries to find a meeting but grabs his car keys instead. 

POOL: Spinelli asks Joss about Jason and Sonny's argument then James tries to run into the pool but Giovanni stops him.  I think he works at The Metro. Yep, he's there..Joss is like WOW! You're the guy that played the violin so well at the wedding!  He finds out that Joss is Carly's daughter. She wonders why he moved to PC if he's going to music school. Later on, he falls into the pool and when he's walking out, Trina sees him and she is shocked. (That's how she saw Spencer--walking out of the pool). Awwwwww, sad. We find out Gio is going to PCU in the fall and living at the Qs. Trina asks him to play at the art opening she's doing. He gives her his number. 
Trina tells Joss it was a shock to see Gio come out of the pool and it reminder her of Spencer. 

Blaze is singing still. Krissy is watching her and Blaze's mom is trying to get rid of her. "It's a nice day, go out and enjoy".  Then they argue about the music take. I don't think Blaze can see Kristina. I hate this whole thing. They just keep going and going. And then Mama LaRue says that Kristina better be nice when they break up because FOR SURE they are going to break up. She tells Krissy to break up with her now and save them both the pain. 
Kristina goes into the booth and we think she's going to break up with Blaze but she says she wants to apologize. Tells her she over-reacted. 

END:
Finn goes to The Brown Dog Bar and orders tequila

Brook is afraid for Violet 

"You Can Miss What You Don't Have"

 

It's HUMP DAY!! And we are 1/2 way through the week. I wonder how today will go. MEMORIAL for GREGORY DAY 

Everyone goes to the park (really a park) and gathers around a bench dedicated to Gregory. Alexis, Tracey, ChaLyn, Finn, Liz Jake and Aidan. Music is playing as people get ready and gather. Violet wants to hold the urn and give it a kiss. Everyone gets all teary. Chase says some words. Finn reads a prayer. Everyone shares memories. NLG talks about ALS which is poignant because her friend has it. Tracey's was nice too because she wishes they had more time. Violet reads a poem. They scatter the ashes. 
The reception is at The Metro patio. Tracey and Brook do a shot in honor of Greg. Finn and Alexis talk. Then Finn tells Liz he might be just 'pretending' to be ok. She looks concerned. 

Blaze has to re-record something and she's sad over Krissy. Her mom is like: Meh that's what happens! Get in there and sing! Come to find out MOM is the one that wanted the song re-recorded. Even the tech guy liked it. Blaze is basically too sad to sing LOL. Then Mama LaRue goes off about gay love not being "real love' and other carap about her relationship with Krissy. 

Kristina goes to court to wait for Molly to get done so she can talk with her. Kristina's belly is now huge. She actually mentioned the LGBTQIA Teen center. Anyway, Molly finally comes out and after some banter, Kristina mentions she knows Blaze told her about the wedding. They argue, then they make up and say they can't wait to spoil the baby. 

END: 

Kristina shows up at Blazes' recording session and smiles 

Chase catches Finn doing multiple shots at the bar!! 

Oh, Shoot

 

Jason asks Anna who answered the phone. She hesitates and tells him to leave. He says : WHO! She tries to tell him but is choked up. "Valentin" she says. She can't believe he's the actual head of the organization. She tells Jason even so, he shouldn't be covering for Sonny. He says she covers for Valentin. They talk about the WSB in the 80's AGAIN. zzzzzz. Jason is thankful that Anna told him about Valentin. OMG Anna won't let Jason tell Cates/Jagger about Valentin even though that was the deal Jason signed up for. He would be free of the FBI. Anna won't let him tell Jagger because Valentin might get away as they have no evidence, then they'd have Jason forever. He agrees and says he's going to go get evidence from Valentin. Anna says no, she has to do it. Valentin might suspect her but he loves her too and he'll let her in his house. BUT! It will take time. 

Jagger goes into the warehouse to question Sonny. Says he hires bad help since not one of them actually shot Jason. Diane tells him to cool it. Jagger says he could take him in and arrest him.  Diane: yada yada... yada yada. NO. I'm so sick of her. Jagger slinks away but mentions Sonny preying on young people like Karen and Jason when he had brain damage and he'll be glad to lock him up. 

Liz shows up at Finn's. Aidan baked brownies for Violet. Liz loves Finn and wants to support him. He says you know, I was an addict because of my disease, it wasn't booze that did it. I can still drink. I made the decision not to.  They kiss... and then she leaves. Finn cries. 

Drew goes to Carly's house to tell her he's running for Congress. Like in DC. I thought it was NYS! LOL. He says that the SEC stuff will come up if he runs and is it okay because her name will be in the news again. She mentions Jason being his brother and mob ties. He says his kid died of cancer and he's doing good with the cancer charity. She says GO FOR IT! :eyeroll: 

Chase brings his Dad's ashes back to the apartment. He tells Brook they are scattering them tomorrow. They talk about Gregory.  A LOT. And some more. Chase is sad. Misses his voice.  He says he has a 10% chance of having ALS. 

Sonny comes to Carly and is saying "boo hoo everyone thinks I tried to kill Jason but I didn't Carleeeeeeee I didn't!! She believes him. Sonny asks her to tell Jason. She says He needs to do that. 

NOTE: Anna THOUGHT VALENTIN was the head of Pikeman ages ago and she wrote his name and circled it on a piece of paper! Talked to Felicia about it!! it's just.. insane. 

END: 

ANNA convinces Jason to do the Valentin take down her way

Sonny says he's done with Jason--AGAIN

Finn picks up Greg's cane and cries. 

TOMORROW: The Memorial 

GH Today

 

Jason shoots one of the guys and he falls, the other guy runs out. Checks for pulse and Anna walks in. Guy is dead. He thinks Anna was watching the place. She said no, she was going to question Sonny about Dex. 

Carly's still talking to Sonny in The Metro lounge, he said Jason was going to get what was coming to him. Carly says that Jason is still his friend and has his back. He says BYE he's going to go talk to Blaze.  Then Brick calls about the shooting at the warehouse. 

Jason is now at the PCPD. Diane walks in and Anna leaves. Jason says she has to warn Sonny that the police are going to question him. She says "He tried to kill you" Jason reminds her she's his lawyer. She said, well, I'm yours too! Then Sonny calls Diane and asks to meet her at the warehouse. Jason tells her to go. Then Anna comes back in. *sigh* she says to stop protecting Sonny, tell her it was him that ordered the hit. Jason won't. Anna gets a burner phone from forensics. 

Diane meets Sonny at the warehouse. He's like standing in the middle of the damn blood? It's so weird. Upshot is --Diane takes him into Jason's office and asks him if he ordered the hit. He says it wasn't him. 

Eva LaRue NATALIA or whatever goes to Sonny's and Ava answers the door. Eva brought Sonny some single malt scotch. She has no idea he beat Dex up at the reception lol. They talk about the wedding and Blaze and Kristina. The tangent is that Eva starts saying she doesn't like their relationship and Ava's all: WHAT ? It's 2024! THEN Eva talks all about the surrogacy and how it's not a good idea and gay people are "flighty" and just a bunch of weird stuff. Ava tells her she's wrong and it's a beautiful thing. Eva says: well, that's YOUR opinion, not mine. 

Brennan gets out of his handcuffs with a pick, the guard had to go to another floor. He got scrubs from his room ?? UM, ok He meets Valentin in the stairwell. They talk about the insane Pikeman crap and the upshot is Carly's blabbing let them know that Jason is working with the FBI. Valentin is like, ok. Didn't act surprised. Says to leave Jason alone. Then they wonder what Jason knows about Pikeman. Valentin says don't worry because Sonny will take him out anyway.  He tells Jack to go back to Pentonville. Jack wants the charges dropped. Valentin says not yet, they have more to do. 

Blaze and Krissy eating at The Metro room. Blaze has to tell her that Molly knows about the wedding stuff because she told her. Kristina flips out..geesh, BIG TIME. She's really mad that Blaze told her and she thins it's really bad. She's says YOU BETRAYED ME and leaves.

Carly stops Kristina in the hallway. Asks if she's ok. Kristina says the baby is moving and she likes it that it's safe and she'll have it for 9 months. Carly says that it will always be a part of her, just like Sonny is a part of her. Carly sits and talks to her about Sonny and life and.. you know. 

END: 

AVA ended up taping the whole Eva LaRue bigot stuff on her phone! (she was dictating when she came in) 

OMG!! Anna called the number on the burner phone and VALENTIN ANSWERED! SHE KNOWS HE PUT THE HIT OUT ON SONNY!! 

Sunday Surgery: The Plans

 

It's JUNE!! May sure went quickly and ... for a 'sweeps' month it was pretty tame. Yes, we had a wedding and a death but it all somehow felt like a mash-up. We even had a four day week! 

This week of course had the terrible news about the death of Johnny Wactor. It put a pall on everything for sure.  Monday's rerun as so poignant. Brando's death was also mentioned by Curtis on Friday so he wasn't far from our minds. 

I usually sit here and think about the week and start writing but when I did that my mind was pretty blank except for the last minutes of Friday's show. So--this should be REALLY interesting to read (or not!)

Grab what ya got and let's GO GO!
