Oh, I only have two weeks worth of both shows to catch up on this. Knowing
that we finally get Sonny is enough to make me get through the last two
weeks. Or skip over them. <happy sigh>

Ye giads. I'd rather have my gall bladder extracted with an oyster fork.
But I do have to admit that I like the two of them more and more. Even if
I do hate the Mr. Murty thing a LOT.

Quite. I loved last time, though, because Tony and Genie got to award it
to him, and Genie was so excited I thought she was going to peel out of her
own skin right on stage.

a.) Sonny.
b.) That sexy little grin.
c.) Sonny, with that sexy little grin, in a beard.
If Guza put him in a scene with Kevin, I could just die a happy woman.

Subject: GH/PC: Everything else
My oh my, this is what happens when I let the rest of my life overwhelm me
and I have to fly through two weeks worth of GH in one day...
Jason & Brenda & the wilderness: Well, my sister was getting annoyed with
me because I wouldn't shut up and stop saying that Jason wasted a PERFECTLY
good opportunity to get rid of her once and for all and bury the body where
no one would ever find her. But, that aside, I did really like the bonding
moments between the two of them. And mostly I like that, even though they
got to the point of not hating each other anymore, they still don't like or
trust each other. I was also ESPECIALLY glad to hear Brenda admit that she
and Sonny were doomed because of his lies and her wearing the wire. Truer
words were never spoken.
Jason & the Quartermaines: I was rather partial to the way he kicked
through the door. :-)
Robin & Jason: FINALLY. And I don't just mean them sleeping together
(though, that too). Guza FINALLY backed off, and Robin FINALLY stopped
sounding like a sanctimonious little brat.
Luke & Alexis: <happy dance> Woo hoo!! I love this. I love them. They
are so incredible together. The only thing cooler than the two of them,
was the two of them with Helena and Bobbie thrown into the mix, too.
Bobbie clobbering Helena was CLASSIC. My only nagging concern, and it's in
no way anything more than mere speculation on my part, is that in
conjunction with the whole General Homicide thing (along with Luke and
Alexis' plans to kill her), GH might actually get rid of her. I sure as
hell hope not.
Jax & Brenda: Well, even though I seriously dislike both characters on
their own, I'm actually not minding them together nearly as much, anymore.
Mostly with the comedy, though. I liked their bet and people watching on
the train. That was actually pretty cute.
Stefan & Katherine: Painful. Fast-forward. I'll be so glad when Laura
walks in the door and sends that storyline spinning in an even remotely
enjoyable direction.
Lucky & Lizzie: I loved Lizzie's conversation with Bobbie. And I loved
the fact that she and Lucky discussed Laura. That was such a great
conversation. And I really like the way they are setting it up so that
Lizzie feels connected to Laura on one level, and yet totally horrified and
mystified by her on another. That is very cool storytelling. Her torching
dinner was cute, too.
Ned: Ned and Alexis. Ned and Carly. Ned was just cool the past couple of
weeks. Though, you know, for someone who has found himself the victim of
blackmail as often as he has (and with leverage far less persuasive than
imminent death), you'd think Ned would have just a TAD bit of sympathy for
Alexis' situation. But him going to her to ask her to h*lp Carly, because
his fears for Michael growing up in the house were the same as Lois' for
Brook, was very cool. And I think that needs to be tapped into more often
to h*lp keep the distinction clear as to why Ned is breaking rank on this
issue.
Justus & Taggart: Dara who? Man, those two by themselves crack me up.
That meeting at Luke's, when Dara was sitting with Jerry, had me ROTF!!!
Hysterical. Although I am glad they didn't cop out and have Justus back
down on his charges against Taggart.
Mac & Felicia: I don't know what I think of those two yet. I don't like
Felicia at all, but I think that's mostly because KW annoys me. But at
times I like them together, but I think most of the time they leave me with
the most overwhelming sense of "been there, done that" and it's just too
redundant to watch. Maybe it's just because I think Felicia is a
monumental hypocrite who lets a totally unremorseful Tony off the hook
after she spent MONTHS trying crucify a HIGHLY remorseful Kevin. Maybe
it's just my allergy to blonds.
I think that's about all I can think of at the moment.
But that's probably just because my brain is still fried from seeing Sonny.
And that grin. With a beard. Hummana, hummana, hummana...
Taiyin, still trying to recover...

Just in case, heard that Sarah(Webber) is going on vacation by Audrey to
visit her parents in Co., so that's why she's gonna be gone. As for
Keesha, we know she went to Philly to visit her father. Good riddens!!

i shouldn't be so picky i guess...AT LEAST HE'S BACK!!!!!

they babbled on about oprah, and then said the show wasn't finished as

<snicker> Yeah, but I'm just such a Beard Slut. I can't think of any guy
that I've ever seen with a beard AND without one, and have actually
prefered him without. Yum, yum, yum.

Yeah, but he's mostly going to be having scenes with Brenda, with my luck.
Let him just spend time with Jason and Robin and I'd be happier.
>p.s. i missed the daytime emmys, and i'm FURIOUS at my local paper.
Big awards:
Actress: Cynthia Watros, GL (very sweet, she BAWLED her eyes out during
her speech)
Actor: Whathisname who plays Victor Newman on Y&R (he wasn't there)
Show: All My Children
The three GH ones that your paper mentioned are the only ones we won.
My favorite part was the Oprah bit, and Oprah and Rosie tying for best talk
show host.
Taiyin, off to her first day of a new job... sans email... <sob>

Subject: GH/PC: SONNY!
Seen Maurice Bernards interview on N.W. Afternoon with Cindy Rhinehart.
Looks good with the beard, but listening to him talk he sounds stuck on
himself and his role as Sonny. Maybe he is a quiet person, but it didn't
impress me any. Anyone else see the interview? Would like to hear other
thoughts on this. Rickie

Subject: GH/PC: BJ
The only thing I loved more than the FABULOUS history-based riot act that
Bobbie read Tony yesterday, was Bobbie and Carly later. Wow. And when
Bobbie showed up at the hospital and snapped at Carly, and then started
crying, I lost it.
I loved Robin and Sonny, too. Though, Robin still irritated the hell out
of me when she was standing there making excuses for Tony.
And I ESPECIALLY love that, at least on the surface, Sonny has a reason
OTHER than Brenda for coming back to town. I know it's just an excuse, but
if he'd walked in saying he was back for her, I would have probably started
crying as I hit the fast-forward button.
Obviously it won't last, but I'm glad there is at least something else
driving this return.
And Jerry's smarminess factor just increases on a daily basis. Yeesh. I
don't like Jax because I find him to be an unethical hypocrite and
occasionally too slimy for my taste (nevermind the blond part), but he
doesn't hold a CANDLE to his brother. I guess the only consolation is that
Jerry makes no pretense about having any morals at all. Still, yuck.
