BOY SCOUT GOT BIG!

 

Scout, that darling little tyke at 12,  is now aging UP!  She'll be played by Kayden Tokarski (16 IRL) . I'm actually seeing how this could work. She sure will give Willow HELL!!   While I wish Georgie was more in the mix, Scout does make sense. 

Ex-Machina

 

Lucy, Tracey and Brook at Wyndemere to see Sidwell. Lucy has a sling on. Anyway, Pascal says Sidwell can't keep their appointment and they need to leave. Lucy's like: OK! We are out! Tracey says NOPE --we stay. They then talk about Maxie being at the Grand Canyon again. Sidwell finally comes out and Tracey says: this is your last day at Deception. He's like HAHA. She says they'll call the FCC under the Whistleblower clause and they won't get in trouble. He says well, you'll lose Deception. Brook says they'll rebuild. Jenz complains, whines says he's done so much for them. yada yada. Then Pascal comes in and says he's needed.

Cullum is in the hall to talk to Sidwell. He says they can't find Britt. She's Faison's daughter and can hide well. Then he says he wants to replace her with someone. 

Willow is inside the Q house because Michael called her there. She's in her bathing suit because she's doing a PR shoot later today with the kids. Michael wants some other weekend with the kids. She says it's ok. She's glad they can work together.

Jacinda and Chase both in bathing suits at the boathouse. She lost her sunglasses she borrowed from Crimson. Chase says he'll help but warns her about Michael. She struts off in a huff. Then she watches Chase. (I think Michael and Jacinda are setting up Willow and Chase to be together).

Later, Jacinda and Michael talk about the plan. She says Chase is going to have to 'save' Willow. That's what he does best. Also asks about doing this to Brook Lyn. Michael says it's better for her in the long run. 

YEP!! Michael sends Willow to the boat house to get Wiley's glove...and texts Jacinda he's on his way down. Willow gets the glove. Chase comes out of the water with the sunglasses all wet and glistening. HE RUNS RIGHT INTO WILLOW. They breathe heavy. LOL Jacinda is peeking thru the window. Willow and Chase talks. He invites her for a swim? She thinks back to Brook's warning then is like: SURE! Let's do it!  They swim then have a beer. They talk about Willow and she says she thinks about 'us' and how they used to be together. 

Joe and Lucas talk about Pascal/Marco and the murder.  Joe wants to know why he didn't come forward with this information before now. Lucas tells him about the tie and the threats. Joe is like: Meh, I'll file the report. Lucas demands to see Dante. Joe gets him. 

Lulu thanks Liz for trying to stop Britt leaving with Rocco. Liz says well, I did tell Dante about his hand and I thought it was a gun cut. Lulu's pissed that Dante didn't tell her. Oh brother. Dante leaves to talk to Lucas. Lucas convinces Dante to send Joe to Wyndemere. Joes' like: GEESH.. WHY? Dante says to question Pascal. 

Cullum goes to visit Jack at Turning Leaf. He says he's taken over his office and found his "black box". Asks if he turned Britt into a WSB asset and helped her escape. Jack blinks no. Then Cullum basically says he could kill him and he'd better give him the combination to his black box. Then he says, not now, I'll be back. That was weird. 

Nina is at Carly's. Says she knows Val is there and to let her in. Valentin finally says to let her talk. Carly opens the door. Nina's being mean about them being a couple but says Jack has a message. "Ex Machina" and says Valentin will know what it means. He tells Carly Jack is desperate--they are in big trouble. Nina says he's made a mistake going to Carly. Now he's stuck with her. Ha. She leaves. Val says not to worry, Nina won't turn them in. Carly doesn't want Val to go there, she'll go. He says no, Jack wouldn't have said that if it wasn't meant for HIM TO GO. He's going

END: 

Both Carly and Valentin go to see Jack. Val is an orderly. 

Joe comes in Wyndemere to question Pascal. 

And YET MORE CONTRACT CHARACTERS!

 

WELP!! Another whatever age guy that looks like the other guys on the show is coming. According to Soap Opera Network and a ton of others, Dean Greyer of Neighbours fame is joining the cast as "Tristan Rogers"... YEP you heard that right. In a nod to the late actor, they've hired an Aussie to fill this role. Fitting I guess but do we NEED ANOTHER CHARACTER ON THIS ALREADY bloated show? I don't think I'm a fan of his character name either. Tristan would have been enough. 

He'll be airing in July.

The Poor Orchid

 

I hope I make it to the end of the show today. My sinus' are killing me and I have NO idea why. It's glorious outside!! Just the bad start of a migraine. I'll try to stick it out--FOR YOU! 

More ridiculous Valentin and Carly stuff. Donna IS at gymnastics so she's not just forgotten. They kiss and make ze wub. OH NOPE! Lulu interrupts them. She wants to talk about Rocco. And Dante. Tells Carly about the video Rocco sent. Says Dante blames her. Valentin listens and finds out she was going to leave with Rocco and have Char stay behind. Then she slags off Valentin A LOT about taking Charlotte and what a bad Dad he's been. She realizes she is going to have to make peace with Dante for Charlotte's sake. 

Joss and Pascal. He has a gun. Lets it slip she's on Spoon Island. He says she's nothing more than a bargaining chip.  She says he's not really needed either. Says he should turn himself into the WSB. 

Tracey called Ric over to talk to her and Brook about getting Sidwell out of Deception. She drops that Maxie and Spin are at the Grand Canyon. They talk about the Sidwell contract and they can't get out of it. Tracey is hoping Ric can do something more underhanded. He says go to the feds. Tracey says that it might implicate Sonny and freeze their assets. Tracey thinks maybe they can tell Sid they'll go to the feds and he'll believe the bluff. Ric tells them to go as a team to Wyndemere because he could kill them. 

Liz goes to the PCPD to check on Dante. She's concerned because Rocco is gone. He says he blames Lulu when he knows he shouldn't. They talk about the riff between him and Lulu and yada yada. Joe comes in with information. Joe says they found a used syringe in the drawer. Dante says it probably was for her Huntington's but they'll screen it. THEY CAN SCREEN IT? Anyway, Joe asks if he's going to call the FBI and Dante says no. It's his kid and Brook was his surrogate. 

Nina goes to visit Brennan at Turning Woods. She shoots the medication into the orchid plant. She says he's keeping quiet about his 'state'. He says it's not hard. He still can't move much. The nurse guy comes in and says he heard voices. Checks on Brennan. Nina says Brennan has no one so she's there. Then he leaves. Nina says they have to work together. Jack says they have to get Carly involved because of Valentin. Nina's like: WHY? They don't even know each other. Jack says: Um, yeah they do--LIKE A LOT he's WITH HER. Nina can't believe it. "Carly's not even his type"!!! 

Laura and Sonny have Lucas over to talk about Sidwell and him blackmailing Laura. They lay out the whole story. They want information on Pascal. Lucas tells Sonny to just kidnap him (like he did Marco) and get info that way. Sonny says look, you might not like me but we have to do something. Laura says if they can't, she'll turn herself in. Lucas then tells them all about Britt and the medication and what they planned. Also they think Cullum killed Marco. He's going to help them, he has a plan. 

Later, Lucas goes into the PCPD to report something about a murder. He tells Joe to look into Pascal. 

END: 

NINA GOES To Carly's and demands to speak to Valentin

Sunday Surgery: It's Not Easy Being Mean

 

Last week was 4 days long and some of it was good and some of it was in true GH style---dropping of a big ball and just rando things popping up. 

I'm really getting tired of the character revolving, actor scheduling BS that seems to just leave the show in eternal chaos. Holes were left again this week.  More on that later. 

Much like GH, A mixed bag of fruit salad is on order today and since I have a Starbuck's gift card, a Dragon fruit Refresher. (I'd never pay full price for one--a grande with black tea is $8!!)

Thx to my 'staff'': Dave, Sonya and Paparazzi Sloan. Ya keep me sane.

APOLLO

 

FRIDAY!!

Portia tells Curtis about Derek having to get to Chicago to get his liver transplant and Curtis like like: So? Not MY FAULT. He says he would have flown the kid but no one asked him. She says that she found someone with the money. Curtis says (again) it was Isaiah's fault it happened and he's to have NOTHING TO DO with 'the child'. I can't tell you how SNOTTY Curtis is being. What a dick. 

Tracey is at the boathouse and Ethan gets out of the lake with no shirt on. She says she heard he had a business prop for her. They talk about Lulu and the fact he got her fake passports. Ethan wants to work for Tracey. He trusts her and she trusts him. She says she might have something for him. He asks if it's legal. She says why do you care? She wants him to make sure that Brook and Chase can adopt Phoebe and fix anything that might come up. 

Brook is wrapping a present for Willow to say thank you for helping with Phoebe. Michael's like, um, she's not doing it for YOU, you know. Michael says she can take his car over there because he knows hers is in the shop. Then he starts talking about Trina's showcase and why do it now? She didn't even get to see her at Charlie's (ergo fishing for information). She said she saw a video and it sparked something in her. She leaves. for Willow's Michael calls someone to the house. He tells Jacinda he thinks Brook was driving the car the night of Jordan's accident. "it could change everything".  He goes through why he thinks Brook is the driver. Then says that if Chase knew she didn't come forward, she wouldn't be he 'woman he thinks she is".. WTF? Michael thinks Chase would leave Brook Lyn and run to Willow. So--he'd jeopardize the baby adoption too? WOW. 

Willow cries to Chase she never should have married Drew. Cries more. Chase tries to console her. Then they hug. Brook sees them through the window. She rings the doorbell. Acts surprised Chase is still there. Gives Wills the gift. It's a pink bowl thing. Chase tells her about Ava and Alexis being in NYC. Then they talk about Kai and Trina's showcase. Willow looks jealous of Brook and Chase. 

Alexis and Ava are in the Manhattan Art Gallery and MAN they didn't even TRY to change it up from Ava's!! OMG!! WOW.. that's like bad. Ava tells the Gallery Guy (Maxwell Caufield) that she is looking for some information. Alexis asks if Delilah worked for him. He says yes and he told the police all he knew. Then he calls Ethan to tell him that Ava and Alexis were there asking about her. Then Ava tells him that the Quartermaines are looking into Delilah and it could be worth a lot of money to him. Alexis is pissed she used the Q name. 

The Gallery Guy's name is: Apollo

Carly and Valentin. Carly's bitching at him about his wanting to rescue Anna. He says fine, I'll leave. Goes upstairs. Charlotte comes to the door, feeling guilty for shutting out Rocco and feels like it's her fault he may have left with Britt. Carly offers sage advice and Valentin comes down ad and says what great information that is. Charlotte leaves and promises to stay out of it. Carly and Valentin apologize to each other. He says he might want expectations for their relationship. She wasn't so sure. 

END:
Carly and Valentin kiss and Val says he wants her with him 

Brook Lyn tells Willow to not even BREATHE in Chases' direction or she'll END HER.

Apollo shows Ava and Alexis a photo of Delilah at the opening of a show and she's with Ethan

Michael thinks Brook Lyn is better than Chase and breaking up her marriage is the right thing to do. 

You are a Houseplant.

 

Welp, Cam Mathison was on GMA3 yesterday and today--maybe Tuesday too??  He fits well there!! Yep. Perfect host. Drew can go be in some rest home somewhere. BYE! (I don't think that's happening btw) 

Switching gears today it looks like: 

Trina goes to Bobbie's and tells Gio she can't practice for the showcase, she's not feeling it. She couldn't sleep because of Derek the kid Isaiah was going to operate on. She's so upset. She doesn't know if she can even DO the showcase. Gio says cancelling it won't help anyone. 

Molly is on the phone to Heidi, the art director and wants a different cover for her book. Cody is there too. They talk cute and make out. Then they start to take off their clothes. Meanwhile, Suzanne is getting into the house with a key and then sees them. Hilarity ensues. Suzanne figures out that Cody is "Casey" in Molly's book. She leaves. Cody and Molly giggle. She thinks everyone will recognize that he's "Casey" when they go on the book tour. 

Curtis bitches to Michael about the whole Isaiah thing. He didn't MEAN to hurt him that bad but oh well, he deserved it. Michael will stand by him. Curtis hopes for a plea deal but is ready to fight in court. He needs a great lawyer.

Brook and Chase look at Phoebe. Amelia left her bunny with her and Tracey wants him to take it back to Willow. Chase comes back in the house and asks Brook what is wrong with her car. The passenger door is rattling. He leaves. Tracey thinks when they fixed the scratch they broke something. Portia is at the door. She needs help from Tracey. Tells them about Derek (she got permission from his parents to talk about his case) because he needs the transplant soon and Isaiah do it. Tells them about the reason Curtis punched him and that he thinks Isaiah is the one that caused the accident with Jordan. Brook and Tracey give each other the eye-ball. Portia needs money from the hospital to transport Derek to Chicago. Brook jumps in: I'll pay for it! Tracey says the hospital will. Then Portia looks at the baby and leaves. Tracey tells Brook she'd better not think it's HER FAULT THAT this happened to that kid. 

Willow and Drew: Willow is trying to tell Drew she would stop the injections but he wants to control her and that's not good. Also, Sidwell is mean and won't stop either. She has to have a plan. She also loves being a congresswoman and thinks she's doing a great job. Sidwell comes to the door. Sidwell tells Wills that it's her fault Brennan is at Turning Point and they have to keep dosing him...then Willow says that they have to stop dosing Drew (??). Sid says he can't talk if he can't speak. Then he gets a phone call. Willow and Drew go into the other room. Someone tells Sidwell that Britt's car was found in Ohio...but she wasn't there. Willow comes back out and they go around and around. He finally says: ok, stop drugging him, and he won't talk if he's dead. He says: Smother or another stroke. She says no way! He says then why did you shoot him. She says her children but she regrets it now. He says he IS glad she gave money to the WSB through congress and keep up the good work. Leaves.

Chase comes to drop off the bunny. Willow has been crying he wants to  help. She says she feels SO TRAPPED. Cries harder. Chase tells her she used to talk to him and he'd rub her feet back in the day. Willow says she doesn't want to be married to Drew anymore. 

END: 

Michael hears that Brooks BMW's car door has been rattling for six weeks. 

Curtis and Portia fight about Isaiah's hand and Curtis is SURE Isaiah left the scene of the crime.

Trina agrees to practice for the showcase. 

Boring day

**Sidwell called Drew a houseplant today.
