Today's Soaps

I just want to say the Young & the Restless if freaking me out with this aging of half the children and not aging the others. It's very weird. I want to see my sexy guys. Not these little kids. We need more Cane and they need to bring back Chance and Ronan.

You would think with the canceling of All My Children and One Life to Live they would have kept the best writers on General Hospital. I can't believe the best they could come up with the new babies being born was yet another baby swap and DNA test swap. I mean seriously guys. I don't want another show to get canceled. You could have done better.

Daytime Emmy Nominations And Awards 2011

Well with everything going on in the soap world this should be interesting.

This is the 38th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards. All My Children and One Life to Live have been on TV longer than the awards. Just something I noticed. The event is at the Las Vegas Hilton. The host is Wayne Brady. I don't know who he is. I've never seen him before. He seems to have a connection with his mother. Maybe I'll Google him later, but so far I'm not impressed.  I may not waste my time.

Thorsten Kaye Is Returning To All My Children - One Life To Live

OMG, I just saw Thorsten Kaye is returning to All My Children. How exciting is that? I knew he couldn't really be dead.

Now if that isn't reason enough to keep watching I don't know what is. I certainly am glad to see that Thorsten Kaye will be working again, especially since Marty is loosing her job now.

Ted Shackelford Jeffery Bardwell The Young and The Restless Temporarily Replaced

Ted Shackelford is evidently on a temporary leave of absence from The Young & The Restless. He has been temporarily replaced by Kin Shriner, who most of us recognize as Scotty Baldwin from General Hospital. Reports indicate that Ted Shackelford will miss three episodes so hopefully he will return soon.

I've been a long time fan of Ted's since he was on Knot's Landing.

I don't know what has happened that Ted Shackelford is absent, but I can only imagine it isn't good. I just want to send my best wishes to Ted and his family. I hope he returns to the show soon, and all is well.

Genie Francis Joins Young & Restless - Y&R

Wow this is exciting news!

Genie Francis will join the cast of The Young & The Restless at the end of May as Cane Ashby's mother. I can't wait, not only does this make her Cane's (Daniel Goddard) mother but Colin Atkinson's (Tristan Rogers) wife. I can't wait to see the two of them together again.

Let me back up a bit for those of you who don't know. Genie Francis played Laura on General Hospital. I think most soap watchers if they didn't watch GH have at least heard of the infamous Luke & Laura. I didn't watch GH back then, but have seen many clips of the wedding and more recently the return of Laura to General Hospital. This is exciting news.

AMC Merging With OLTL - Spoiler Alert - Today's General Hospital

Someone called Raven Beauty, I have no idea who this is or whether or not this information is credible, put out a post/article about a meeting that took place at ABC. Supposedly they tossed around the idea of cancelling AMC all together or moving AMC back to New York and then merging the two shows AMC and OLTL. The post also includes a list of characters that would be safe. Full article here As I said before I don't know who Raven Beauty is and there is no mention of who was at this meeting nor is there any information on the site as to who this Raven Beauty is maybe a producer, writer nothing I could see to give this article any credibility.

My Thoughts On Today's Soaps 10/26/2010

Bold & Beautiful

Brendan, really that was just lame! Shouldn't he be in school. Didn't like him before, still don't.

Amber, seriously? I can't believe she thinks she is going to get away with stealing designs, and what happened to the kid she left Genoa City with?

General Hospital Recap, Thur Sept 23, 2010

Diane and Max. Max thinks Diane should keep quite about something. Diane thinks if Sonny breaks Claire's heart she will go after him. Sonny comes in. Diane tells Sonny Claire Walsh is the least of his worries and hands him an envelope. Sonny opens it and starts laughing. Diane, your since of humor mystifies me. Sonny, look at Jason's face. He looks like he's being tortured, and then Brenda of course is loving every minute of it. Brenda is a target right now. Jason probably went to protect her. Diane, now would be a good time to remind you of the age old tradition of falling in love with ones bodyguard. Sonny, Brenda is not falling in love with Jason. What concerns me is that she called Jason as a last resort, so something is probably not good. Diane, if you are tempted to join the rescue party Claire will think you just slept just slept with her to get the charges dropped, and that hell has no fury etc. etc. She tanked her career for you. What better way to revive it than sending you to prison. Sonny, Claire and I have an understanding, we've made no promises. Diane, fine ignore my advice yet again, when Claire comes after you even I won't be able to save you.

General Hospital Recap, Wed Sep 22, 2010

Lisa is talking to Maya about the drug she ordered. Lisa says the patient knows it will impair her judgement.

Robin is home taking her meds. She says she's nauseous. Mack is concerned Robin is going to take Patrick back. Robin, why shouldn't I?  Mack wants her to be treated the way she is deserved by a man who appreciates her. Mack is gone now.

Spinelli looking at a picture of Brenda and Jason, Sam walks in and asks what he's hiding. Sam takes the computer. She says she can take it. He lets her look. Carly arrives and wonders what drama Brenda has gotten Jason involved in. Spinelli shows Carly the picture, she just smiles.

General Hospital Recap, Monday Sept 20, 2010

Dante takes Spinelli's computer. Spinelli, I beg your pardon. That is most rude and presumptuous. Not that I'm surprised considering the source. But you have no right. Dante this is one of the most dangerous criminals in the world. Spinelli, GIVE IT BACK! Dante, not too many people draw the attention of the Balkin and live to tell about it. I love Spinelli! 

Dante, its not that hard to figure out really. Maybe Sonny wants to work with the Balkin or maybe the Balkin is moving in on Sonny's territory and he's gearing up to defend it. For it not being to hard to figure out he is way off base. Spinelli, I will not divulge privileged confidential information, especially to you. Dante, you people have no idea who you are dealing with. Spinelli, True. I never heard mention of the Balkin until I was asked to research him. He's somewhat of a legend in Europe but virtually unheard of in the states, so how would you a lowly New York cop come to know of a man like this. Dante, I'm a cop, the son of a mobster, its my job to know the where abouts either here or abroad. Could you just tell me if you found something. Spinelli, If I had I wouldn't share it with you. Dante, We were on the same side with this.

Spinelli, You seem to think that your betrayals carry some kind of expiration date, that over time all should be forgiven, but the repercussions of your gross misdeeds continue to reverberate. Young Sir was sent to prison. Stonecold was forced to follow to ensure Michael's safety. Heinous events occurred all of which you are responsible for. Dante, That was the biggest regret of my life so far. If I could take it back I would. But since that's not a possibility, I've done everything in my power to make it right, I got Michael out of prison. I got the charges against Sonny in Johnny's shooting dropped. Don't you think I deserve a couple of check marks in the plus column. Spinelli, I see how you do it. The affable mean, the feigned honesty, I mean its quite appealing to the unexpected. And fair Lulu she still has no idea what a smooth liar you are. Or how easily you could just drop kick her heart. Spinelli goes to door and opens it. Dante, I love Lulu and she means everything to me, I would lay down my life for her in a heart beat if I had too. Spinelli, I sincerely hope fair Lulu comes to her senses one day and leaves you. So that you can experience the broken heart that you so richly deserve. Dante leaves. Oh, I'm so proud of Spinelli, remember when he first came he would talk to people and get all flustered and give up stuff without meaning to. He just seriously went a round with Dante and didn't tell him a dang thing, and he told him off pretty good in the process too.

Lucky still on the phone with Babak while someone is banging on the door. Babak tells him the Balkin is coming there. Its Siobhan telling him he has to leave right away. Ronan tells Siobhan to leave if the men from the restaurant see her, they'll know she came to warn him. She won't leave without him. Says he's a miracle. He's not a heartless assassin anymore. Siobhan pulls a gun, says she can pull her own weight.  Ronan tells her put it away. She kisses him and leaves. Hmmm This Sibohan reminds me of Sibohan Ryan on Ryan's hope. Ronan calls Dante tells him is going to meet the Balkin. Dante tells him screw what interpol says get the hell out of there. Knock on door. Three guys come in put a hood of Ronan's head and take him out. I'm thinking Siobhan is outside and going to follow them, she doesn't seem like the kind to do what she is told.

Sonny and Claire are making out. I'm feeling no chemistry here, actually it's kind a grossing me out. weird. OMG he actually said was it good for you. Claire tells him for all the money, wives, women and children he has. He is the loneliest man she ever met. I'm really not liking these to together, sorry, this is just bad.

Jason, I'm hear to make sure you don't get yourself killed and I don't do parties. Brenda says its not work its a gala. Do you know what that word means? Geez Brenda what a brat. Jason says he's not going and neither is she. Suzanne arrives, Jason tells her Brenda's not going. Suzanne suggests Jason talks to security. They have implemented several of his ideas. Jason leaves. Suzanne thinks he is very talented. Brenda thinks Suzanne has the hots for Jason. LOL Suzanne says Jason's cuddly ROFL She likes him. Jason, comes back and says Brenda still can't go. Suzanne explains the importance of the gala. Jason apologizes to Brenda.

Carly/Jax. I'm really tired of these two. Make up your mind already. Ok Jax is moving back in.

 Max still in blue looking good. Diane has papers for Sonny to sign. Max says Sonny's not around. They go out to terrace and see the candle light dinner, Diane says Sonny's either taken his seduction elsewhere or Claire Walsh finally got wise and Sonny's off tracking her down. Max rubbing Diane's shoulders. Diane, either way thats a lovely table. Max, shame to see it all go to waste. Diane, who says it has too? Diane and Max are eating Sonny and Claires dinner Diane says she has mixed feelings. On the one hand my shoe closet and I would have adored all of those billable hours we would have racked up if Sonny would have gone to trial for shooting Johnny Z. Then my ego would have been enormously gratified had I wiped the floor with that self righteous Claire Walsh. LOL On the other hand I realize its better for all concerned the charges were dropped especially for the children. Max, I'm really surprised Sonny came back at all. Diane you know why he came back don't you? Because Brenda Barrett turned him away. Sonny turned up torch flaring and Brenda had put hers out a long time ago. Max, I only met Brenda once but wow she does leave an impression. God that womans hot I mean for real. Probably the sexiest woman I.... Ohhhh foot in mouth Max Diane laughing. Max, what I meant was except for you of course. Diane, yes. Max, its a different class of hotness altogether. Doesn't compare. Diane, I suggest you start immediately start trying to convince me of that. Max gets up and goes to other side of table and kisses her. These two I love, complete opposites, but they crack me up.

Dante calls a friend at his old precinct to get information. Tells him he needs it ASAP someones life depends on it.  Lulu walks in on conversation. Dante tells Lulu whats going on. Lulu, you think something bad is going to happen to my brother. Dante says the Balkin is like a walking death sentence. Lulu asks him if he's ever dealt with the Balkin. Dante, I was involved on a case peripherally that involved the Balkin, what I do know is that he is violent, unpredictable and elusive. Lulu how is Ronan involved with the Balkin. Dante, just speculation I m guessing they were working together, fell out of favor, if the Balkin gets his hands on Lucky there's no telling what will happen. 

Carly tells Michael she is not threatened by Brenda Barrett. Jax comes in with a smiley faced pizza. Carly tells them now that they are a family again. Total honesty. Morgan, now that you are back together again, Jax will be my stepdad again. So there's no reason for him to adopt me right?

Jason is in a tux. Brenda asks Jason to at least say hi, how are you back to people. Brenda tries to fix his tie. Jason, says don't touch. LOL

Ronan is in a warehouse type room hands tied behind his back. Not looking good for him.

Sonny and Claire come downstairs to eat and walk in on Max and Diane on the floor of the terrace. Sonny, this is my house, my food what are you doing here? Claire says looks like someones been eating your porridge. Diane, I guess congratulations are in order. Sonny has slept with the prosecutor which means he's effectively weakened her to the point where she can not go up against him in court. You do realize don't you that you just got played. Zing! All this while in her bra hopping around on one shoe.

Jason and Brenda arrive at gala, they are in the limo camera lights flashing outside and Brenda starts saying oh no, no, no, no. The corsett just came undone underneath my dress. Jason, I don't even know what that is. Brenda, just unzip the top of my dress and reconnect the corset. Jason, my job is to make sure you stay alive. I don't fix dresses. LOL  Brenda, oh no Ernesto going to be so mad please please. Jason gets out of the car. Paparazzi everywhere.  He goes around to the other side of car to get Brenda out. They pose for pictures. Hmm no picture of him fixing her corset to make Sam jealous?

So I've been thinking about the Balkin and today I'm really leaning towards it being Alcazar. If I remember correctly didn't Jason help Skye kill Alcazar? So he should be good and dead right, but this is a soap after all.  I'm thinking Alcazar had world wide connections, he was evil enough to act like Dante portrays him. It could be him.  And where is Skye she was in town, then she was gone, did she tell anyone she was leaving? She disappeared about the same time Luke did now that I think about it. Hmmmm the unanswered questions.

 

General Hospital Recap, Fri Sept 17, 2010

Brenda/Jason Brenda calls Jason a liar, she doesn't believe Sonny didn't send him. Jason, tells her the charges were dropped. Brenda, but he told you he saw me? Jason, He didn't say anything about you. Brenda, No? Oh. Is Sonny seeing anyone? Jason, he's not married. Brenda, Is he involved with anyone? Jason, I don't think its serious. Brenda, so as far as you know Sonny's free. Jason, I already told you charges were dropped. Brenda, I mean he's not living with anyone or anything. Jason, no. Brenda, he really didn't send you? Jason, no. Brenda, but how do you know if Sonny didn't tell you. Jason, Suzanne. Brenda, OMG this woman! Why is she talking to anyone. Jason, you listed me as an emergency contact. Brenda, that's only if I die, your the only one that doesn't care. LOL

Jax tells Claire she's just a means to an end with Sonny. He's done this to other women. Now that she's stepped down. She's no longer a threat. Claire, that is why I did it, now I'll know if Sonny wants me for me. Jax, I practically handed you your career, now your throwing it all away.

Dante tells Sonny he's been where he is with one woman trying to get over another. Sonny, did it work? Dante, not even close. Sonny tells Dante falling for Brenda scared the hell out of him. They are talking back and forth, sounds like there is a Brenda in Dante's past. Hope Carly doesn't find out. Dante is leaving, Sonny thanks him for what he is doing for Micheal. Dante, yeah, just so you know it doesn't change anything, I'm still a cop your still a crime boss. You slip up I'll take you down. Sonny, I would never ever stop you from doing your job. It's just nice for one night it didn't get in the way of you being my son. Dante turns to leave and Claire is standing in front of him. Dante, I guess this is the end of your lecturing me about my conflict of interest, right?  Sonny, I didn't think you'd come tonight. Claire, neither did I.


Siobhan/Ronan. Siobhan tells Ronan he has compassion in his eyes. Ronan, okay you got me I'm an undercover cop. Siobhan, You sounded like a true yank with that accent. Ronan, I had some practice. Siobhan, I've heard the stories, your feared on 3 continents. Ronan, four but whose counting. I'm not Ronan O'Reilly you said so yourself. Siobhan, I've hated that face for longer than you can remember. Seen it in my nightmares long before you murdered my Donny. Ronan, so what are you waiting for shoot me. Siobhan, not before you tell me what happened. Ronan, What to your boyfriend? Siobhan, to you. How did you happen to pick up a soul? Ronan, What does it matter how I've changed, just be glad I did or you'd be buried next to your boyfriend by now. Siobhan, you won't hurt me. Ronan, you sure we are talking about the same Ronan O'reilly. Siobhan, something inside has changed you. Ronan, I found god. Siobhan, are you serious? Ronan, It wasn't like I was looking for him. Tells her a story about hiding out in a church. Siobhan gets up to leave and tells him to be careful, now that he's developed a conscious it could get him killed. Babak calls Ronan and tells him they want to meet. Lucky tells him he can't he's been made, pick someone else.

Maxi/Robin Robin fills Maxi in on the plan. Maxi, there is no excuse for what Patrick did. I don't think its a reflection on how Patrick feels about you. Maxi tries to talk to Robin about forgiving Patrick, but Robin is more worried about keeping Emma safe.

Lisa got tickets to the Nascar Dover race for her and Patrick. She got seats on the bridge. Patrick, Its not a good idea for me and you to take a weekend. Robin is on the edge of a breakdown. Lisa, Robin needs to face reality and so do you. Getting married was a mistake. Make it a clean break and I can help you get on with your life again. She kisses him. Steve sees. Patrick explains to Steve what Lisa wants. Steve is going to try to fix the schedule so Patrick can't leave.

Carly ranting about Brenda to Micheal. Micheal, why does it bother you so much that Jason is seeing Brenda? Carly says Jason should be here helping you. Micheal, He loves you mom he went to prison to protect me, so don't be mad at him. Carly, I'm not mad at him. I'm going to strangle Brenda.

Jason, the Balkins come at you three times. Any idea what you did to make yourself a target? Brenda, denies knowing why, tells Jason she doesn't want his help. Jason calls Spinelli. Carly realizes Jason is on the phone and is chasing him around the room to get it. Brenda takes Jason's phone and says whoever this is tell Jason to come home. Carly takes Spinelli's phone. Brenda says hi Carly. Carly, Brenda. I want to talk to Jason. Brenda, he's busy he's going to have to call you back. Carly doing what? Brenda apparently protecting me.  Carly if safety is such a concern why don't you ask your movie star boyfriend to hire a fleet of body guards too protect you. Better yet you could have the flipping UN put their peace keeping forces on duty. I mean its the least they can do for a humanitarian like yourself. Brenda, interesting idea, but he insists on guarding me himself. Carly, he has a family here. Jason takes the phone from Brenda. Carly, What are you doing there? How could you fly off to Rome? You know while you were off saving Brenda, Micheal almost got expelled? Jason, What happened? Micheal takes phone tells Jason it was a stupid fight I'm fine so's mom here's Spinelli.  Spinelli, you were saying. Jason, run a check on the Balkin , known associates, any family, everyting you can find right away.

Claire and Sonny eating dinner. Go back and forth about Jax. Sonny tells her he doesn't want to hurt her and if she's worried he is then she can leave right now, he won't stop her. Sonny tells Claire he knows how important her career is he doesn't want her to have any regrets. She gets up goes over and kisses him. Sonny says this is your last chance to run for the door. They go up to bedroom. So this will be like baby number 8?

Steve stops by Robins. Tells her Lisa wasted no time moving back in on Patrick. Robin says the only way to turn this situation around is to make her think she's won.

Maxi goes to hospital to see Patrick. Patrick, I'm working right now. Maxi, I'm sure Robin would love to be working right now. But until this whole thing with Lisa is settled Robins suspended. That doesn't seem fair does it? You cheat Robin loses her job. Patrick, this is only temporary. Once I can prove Lisa is doing all these crazy things then Robin will be reinstated. Maxi, I'm trying to be sympathetic here but this plan of yours better work because it isn't helping Robin forget what you did. Patrick, I know just don't get all wrapped up in playing with Lisa and end up in bed with her again. Patrick, that's not going to happen. Lisa's at the top of the stairs. Maxi I hope not I don't think Robin can take much more.  Patrick, I going to pretend to fall for Lisa long enough to prove that she is acting like a lunatic. The chief will have enough evidence to fire Lisa then I can concentrate on getting my wife back. Yep, Lisa heard all that. She knows its a set up. I knew when Maxi showed up there was too much talking going on about this plan and Lisa would find out.  First Steve then Maxi.

Lisa to Maxi if your waiting for an appointment that is what the lounge is for. Maxi, well if it isn't the tramp trying to ruin my cousins life. Don't talk to me ever. Lisa, well Robin doesn't need any help with that actually she's doing just fine on her own, and I hate to break it to you but your cousin is seriously disturbed. Maxi, if that is true its all your fault. You snaked her husband and are trying to destroy her marriage. Your a discusting piece of trash. Patrick, is there a problem here? Lisa, not on my end. Lisa walks away. Patrick you can not provoke her. Maxi I'm just doing my part to keep up the front it just so happens my role happens to coincide with how I feel. Patrick, do not under estimate Lisa, she's not dumb she's smarter than the rest of us so far. We have to prove that she's crazy and Robin is her victim. Maxi and Patrick continue talking, Lisa is hiding around the corner. Maxi tells Patrick she tries to put in a good word when she can. She knows what its like to make the mistake of cheating on someone your in love with.  I have empathy however it will not extend to a second time. Patrick, she wants to go to a Nascar event which I will get out of the last minute. I don't want to be alone with her.

Lisa gives a prescription for Phenosolitol to a nurse.Says, its a new drug on the market, asks her to fill it so she can give it to the patient in person after her consult. She says the drug is to dangerous to not be appraised of its complications. I'm not sure what Lisa is going to do with this drug, but we can be pretty sure it won't be good.

Carly arrives home Jax is there. Jossslyn's asleep Morgans at a sleep over. Jax wants to pick up where they left off. Carly wants to take it slow. Jax works on her some more. He is going to move back in.

Brenda asks Jason about Spinelli. Jason questions her again about the Balkin. Jason, he's not stalking you. He sent people to kill you. What did you do? Brenda, I went to the press and shined the light on these people that are exploiting children, so of course these big shots want to shut me down cause they want to keep the profits rolling in. Jason, maybe that's part of it. What aren't you telling me. Brenda, nothing. Jason, come on you know this guy is going to try and kill you again and your security can't stop him. Brenda, ok look fine you are right, I would love for you to protect me. I have to go to this gala tonight so your gonna have to come with me and be my body guard. Do you have a tux. Jason just stares at her. We all know how much Jason loves a tux. LOL

Spinelli, working. Knock on door, its Dante. Spinelli tells him Jason is aware of what went down with Micheal. Dante sees Spinelli's computer screen and wants to know why he is researching this guy. Spinelli, the jackals queries are none of your concern. Dante, actually if your going through illegal channels they are. So unless you want to take a ride downtown I suggest you tell me everything you know about the Balkin. Spinelli, clearly not as much as you do. Go Spinelli. I notice that when Dante wants something its okay for Spinelli to hack, other wise he threatens to arrest him. I also like that the writers are letting Spinelli appear wiser instead of like a stupid hacker kid. I mean hackers really aren't stupid, they gotta be pretty smart to do all that they do.

Babak calls Lucky says he's not happy about changing the meeting. Lucky, so where does he want to meet? Babak, he's coming to you. Knock on door. Boy thanks for a little bit of warning Babak. This guy is going to get Lucky killed.

General Hospital Recap Thur, Sept 16, 2010

Dante tries to get Michael to tell him what happened in prison.  Dante tells Michael Carter was working for Franco, so whatever Carter did... Michael, why can't you just leave this alone. Don't act like you know what prison is like when you don't. I thought Michael was raped the day Carter attacked him, I think Jason thought it that's why he pulled the warden aside and asked that Michael be checked out. Why hasn't anyone else figured this out yet? Dante, your my brother I care about you. Michael says Jason was there he helped me get through it. Dante, then maybe you should talk to Jason. Michael, Okay. If you want to help don't ever talk to me about prison again.

Jason arrives at Brenda's. Suzanne open's the door looks at Jason up & down and says your Brenda's ex-husband. LOL Jason getting info from Suzanne about what happened, security measures taken that kind of thing. Suzanne tells him she isn't telling him anything until he tells her why Brenda would put him down as the person to contact in case of emergency. Jason, I don't understand how Brenda thinks. Suzanne, well she never talks about you. Jason, Good. Suzanne, so I'm gonna need some details about your relationship. Jason, what do you need to know. Suzanne, how did you end up getting married. Jason, I was the only option available. Suzanne, meaning? Jason, She had no other options. LOL Jason is like John McBain 25 words baby! Suzanne, so I take it it didn't last very long. So how, why did you break up? No better question why did you get together in the first place. Jason, thought she was sick blah, blah, blah, the two other men in her life were married, I got stuck with Brenda.  Suzanne, so your telling me your not in love with her? Jason, Lets just say Brenda and I don't get along. Suzanne, have you heard of a crime figure named the Balkan? Jason, Is that whose threatening her? Suzanne, Interpol thinks so. Suzanne tells Jason about the attacks. Suzanne, I suppose your questioning our security. Jason, Brenda ignores security, she's almost impossible to protect. Suzanne, you and I have a lot in common. I think this could be the start of a very productive friendship. Jason, It doesn't matter if I like Brenda or not if she's in danger I'm not going to let anything happen to her. Suzanne, that's a generous attitude, or do you have a savior complex? Jason, Brenda means a lot to people who are close to me. Suzanne, I assume you mean people in Port Charles. Brenda has a gift for making people care about her. Jason, I don't need to care about her. I just need to make sure she's safe so I can go home. Suzanne, well then you are the exception to the rule.

Brenda arrives at modeling assignment, it is to model wedding dresses. She tells the guy she can't wear a wedding dress. Photographer asks her if she's ever been married. She says kinda, flashes back to her and Jason's wedding. Photographer asks what was the best part of the wedding. Brenda, the divorce. The photographer asks Brenda what her fantasy wedding is, she has flash back of Jax and Sonny weddings. All this while taking photo's in a black and gray dress.

Claire arrives at Sonny's mad. Evidently Sonny sent Max over with something to give her and she ain't happy! Claire, it was bad enough when your no neck body guard showed up at my office, my secretary dove under her desk and the new paralegal called 911. Sonny, I told him to be discreet. Max, Boss I was. Claire, Look I recused myself from your case, I've asked for reassignment so when a guy like this shows up being ridiculously polite it was terrifying. Sonny, but you don't want reassigned. Claire, I can't have your body guard showing up at my office bearing gifts. Sonny to Max, what were you thinking going to her office? Whats the matter with you? Max, well you told me to go... to go to her apartment and drop off the earrings. (Max covering Sonny's butt) But she works all the time so I went to her office. Claire, you can't send gifts to my home or my office. Sonny, you don't like the earrings I can get you something else. Claire, their gorgeous, but its completely inappropriate. Sonny, why don't you put them on and you'll see how beautiful you look then you won't be mad at me anymore. Claire says there is no longer a conflict so there is no reason to compromise her anymore. Sonny, then I'm just going to have to settle for being with you.  On a side note: Max is H-O-T hot! in that blue today, absolutely gorgeous. Sonny tells Claire he wants her to stay. She says she doesn't know what the rules are between them she still thinks Sonny's using her. He invites her to dinner.

Rowan and Siobhan at bar. Siobhan going on wants to know why he let Liam live when he was so quick to murder her Donny. Rowan, Maybe I didn't want to see you sad or heart broken all over again. Rowan, so you feel bad now doubting my motives when all I was trying to do was protect you? Siobhan, by shooting Donny dead in the street? Rowan he would have done the same to me if I had crossed him. They drink to Donny. I can't believe no one can tell that this isn't the same Rowan. I think Siobhan may be an undercover agent. 

Rowan and Siobhan go back to room. Rowan asks her if she wanted to get him out of the club before Liam showed back up? Siobhan, you want the truth I'm going to kill you myself, she pulls out gun. Rowan takes the gun away from her. Tells her never stand close enough so someone can take the gun away. Then gives it back to her, tells her to try again. Tells her to pull the trigger, she's wasting his time. She tells him she doesn't think he's Rowan O'reilly so who is he. Ok, so maybe she isn't an undercover agent.

Carly and Jax discussing breaking up and getting back together. Get on with all ready. I'm tired of all this back and forth. Dante comes in tells them about fight at school. Of course Carly is mad because she wasn't called. Dante says he handled the situation, he just wanted to make sure they were aware. Carly's steaming again.

Sonny getting ready for Claire to come to dinner. Max can't figure out why Claire didn't like the earrings, says Diane loves jewelry, in fact she insists on it. Sonny, Diane is a wise woman. Did the secretary really go under the desk, Max, she spilled her coffee, I thought she was cleaning it up, then Ms. Walsh came in and started yelling at me. Sonny's going to let Claire think the next move is hers. He has flashback about Brenda. Dante shows up tells Sonny about Micheal tells him he would be proud.

Carly goes to Jason's finds out he's in Rome. Carly, Jason drops everything and flies to Rome, what about Michael? Jason wasn't put on this earth to take care of Brenda Barrett? She's got plenty of guys to take care of her. What about Murphy? Sam, I don't know, I think he feels obligated because they were married. Carly, Jason's first obligation is to me and my kids, and I can tell you right now I'm not sharing with Brenda. Well that pretty self centered. Is she sharing with Sam? Sam asks Carly if Jason has feelings for Brenda. Carly, oh not in the way your thinking, he can see through that high maintenance drama queen. Brenda has to be the center of every mans attention and Jason doesn't play that game so he's a challenge for her. Sam, that's good he does say that she annoys him.

Knock on the door, the both say come in. Boy Carly just acts like that's her house. Its Micheal looking for Jason. Carly asks Sam to give them a minute. Pretty rude since Sam is on a crutch and lives there.  Sam leaves. Carly wants to know why school didn't call her. Micheal, Mom you probably would have yelled at the principal and got me kicked out for sure. Carly, Isn't that what you want? Micheal, in a way. I don't like Madison, it is always fun to watch you tear into someone. Carly, it is a gift. Michael, so where's Jason? Carly he's in Rome helping Brenda. Micheal, Is she in trouble? Carly, yeah I guess. Micheal, then why are you upset. Carly, because nothing good can come out of contact with Brenda Barrett. Nothing good ever has.

Brenda comes home. She's mad at Suzanne because she didn't tell her it was a wedding shoot. Tells her to call Cartoolo and tell them I'm going on another trip, she hates modeling. Going off. Your the one who keeps telling me I need to be more famous because if I'm famous I can help the kids. Suzanne, yes that's the way it works, but at some point putting yourself in the spotlight becomes to dangerous. Brenda, Make up your mind, because our security stinks, those men walked right into my room with knives. If someone really wants to kill me there's nothing we can do about it. Jason, standing outside the door listening, looking like he's dreading going in. Suzanne, If we decide its safe enough for you to take another trip. Brenda not if, I'm going. Suzanne we're going to have to make major changes in security, its going to be intense and your going to hate it. Brenda, how about this, I promise to stop hating it if you can find someone who actually knows what he is doing. Knock on door. Brenda, oh look its someone here to kill me lets see who it is. Suzanne, don't open it. Of course she does, it's Jason standing there. She starts laughing, then tries to close the door on him and tells Suzanne to call security. Suzanne leaves.

Jason I just tested your security, I got up here in ten minutes with out being seen. Brenda, your tests don't count because your a professional killer. Jason, so are the people who are after you do you really want to die? Brenda, So you came all the way from Port Charles to test my security. Jason, asks about the Balkin Brenda's going on about how some big buff guy from New York doesn't need to come tell her security guards how to protect her. Jason brings up the attacks. Brenda thinks Sonny sent Jason to protect her. Jason tells her Sonny doesn't even know he's there.

Jax tells Claire he got a call from Washington, tells her don't be one more fool for Sonny.

Sonny tells Dante Claire is a diversion to get over another woman.

Wow busy day.

Patrick, Lisa has to believe that we're so far apart and your going over the edge, that she has a chance with me. Robin, Well then I'll have to convince her I hate the sight of you.  Patrick wants to talk about them, Robin doesn't want to hear it she wants to concentrate on protecting Emma. Patrick, I think Lisa will incriminate herself if she feels like she has a legitimate chance at getting me back. Robin, because your such a prize?

First sign of trouble, I'll expel you.

Lucky calls Dante's phone. Lulu answers. Lucky tells her he's on dads trail. Lucky tells Dante where he is and what he's doing. Asking Dante for help with a computer file, said he only got ten hours prep time. Dante giving him undercover advice.Lucky's been a con his whole life why does he need Dante's advice?

Carly and Josslyn are at Mikes when Jax comes in. They are talking to each other through Josslyn. Kinda stupid. Fighting over Brenda still.Carly gets ready to leave Brook and Nicholas come in. Carly tells him he's hanging out with a trader. Brook, I hope you don't believe her. Nicholas, that you'd double cross me, sure I do. I'm just not gonna give you a chance. Lulu arrives to get Kate's latte. Brook, you must find your job so rewarding. Lulu, spoken like a woman whose never had a job that didn't require her to be on her back. Nicholas, I haven't seen Lucky, where's Lucky do you know? Lulu, he's in London looking for our dad, and I was worried about him until I seen you hanging out with that, and you are in worse trouble.  Nicholas tells Brook when the job is over its over. She asks him why he's still helping her if he's getting all this grief. Said he needs a date for a dinner party. He asks her why she's doing it, she needs the money. Nicholas, oh by the way your wardrobe is completely inappropriate, we're going to have to get you a new one, have you ever been shopping with a prince before?

Kristina's talking to Taylor. A guy named Bryce shows up. Micheal is there. Kristina introduces Bryce. Bryce, so that's why you couldn't show up for Keifers funeral you were busy with Taylor? Taylor, I needed a lot of help catching up, I'm grateful for Chrissy's taking pity on me. Bryce, Just be careful crossing the street her mom might run you down. Micheal, you need to leave now. Bryce, five minutes in prison and you think your so tough, well, bring it on Corinthos. Michael, I don't want any trouble. Bryce, you'll kill a woman with an axe handle, but your too big of a wuss to take on someone your own size? Kristina, Stop it Bryce. Taylor, everyone chill this is no way to start off the school year. Bryce, you gonna hide behind your sister and this guy or you gonna fight. Micheal, I'm not fighting anyone. Bryce, you couldn't last in prison, good thing your mommy paid to get you out. Micheal, back off. Bryce, or what? your a coward I can prove it. Bryce pushes Micheal up against the wall.

Robin goes to meeting, Steve, Patrick and Lisa there. Lisa says she believes Robin needs psychiatric help and lists off all the things Robin has supposedly done. Robin, I'm not the one that needs therapy you child stealing, home wrecking bitch.  Robin continues attacking Lisa about what she's done, told her she can have Patrick, but stay away from her child and her job.  Robin, can't you guys see she is setting me up. Steve why don't you and I leave so they can screw on the conference room table like they did back in med school. Or better yet take her home and do it on the couch that took so long for us to pick out. Steve tells Robin he thinks counseling is a good idea, Robin refuses says they are all plotting against her. Steve says if she's not willing to get counseling her suspension will continue. Robin tells Lisa she's won and leaves. Steve tells Patrick the hospital is deprived of a great doctor because he wanted to rekindle and old flame.

Lisa, it was bound to happen, you could never really be your self with her, she was never right for you and she knew that, that's why she was spiraling out, doesn't want to get help, doesn't want to see the truth. Patrick, Robins been through worse than this. Lisa she will find her way out. You need to focus on being yourself being a good dad, finding your way back to the man you really are it will get easier and if you need to talk to someone I'm around.

Ronnie to Dante, I tried to access our shared case files, I was denied access. Dante, as far as I'm concerned you suppressed evidence, that pretty much makes you a dirty cop. Ronnie goes off about Sonny. Dante goes back at him. Dante's phone ring's its Micheal's school, asking him to get there right away because there has been an emergency with his brother.

Lucky goes to bar as Rowan, bartender says the usual, Rowan nods his head. Tells the bartender if anyone comes asking for him, he hasn't seen him. Gets up turns around a woman comes in the door running at him. She says you murdering bastard, and slaps him across the face. Siobhan, the bartender says I won't have trouble in my place. Rowan, why don't I buy Siobhan a drink and she can tell me whats bothering her? Siobhan, I'll kick you in the crackers if you try. And you how dare you play host to Donny's killer. Bartender, Donny may he rest in peace knew what he was getting into when he messed with Rowan. You'd do well to take a lesson missy. Siobhan, oh go back to counting your blood money why don't you. I'm not afraid of you heartless son of a bitch. May the devil swallow you sideways. Then she spits on Rowan's shoe and walks out. Well! apparently this chick doesn't like Rowan.  Then a man comes in the door yelling you maggot you got some nerve showing up here. Siobhan stops him, Liam don't not here, not in front of everyone. Liam, I warned this bastard what would happen if he showed his face here. Bartender, your brother took his chances, now he died how he lived, now there's no point in you throwing you life away as well. Rowan, Listen to the man Liam don't make the same mistake your idiot brother did. Liam takes out a knife and comes at Rowan. Siobhan tells Liam Donny wouldn't want him to be dying for revenge. Rowan, Siobhan your spoiling my fun, if Liam wants to meet his maker It'll be my pleasure to help him out. Liam, if I don't get payback for my brother who will? Rowan ask yourself a question, what good is Donny rotting in his grave, ask your self how many years he could have lived to made his woman happy, ask yourself what your brother wouldn't give to trade places you don't have to die, but I promise you if you don't lower this blade your damn well going to. Siobhan, Rowans right nothings worth dying over. He lowers the blade, walks away, then runs back and appears to have stabbed Rowan.  Lucky still fighting, puts knife to Liams throat, lets him up and tells him to get the hell out before he changes his mind. Liam runs out. Siobhan, who the hell are you and what have you done with Rowan O'reilly?

Jax tells Maxie no Brenda on the cover, Carly standing outside the door,  barges in thinks the whole thing is a setup. Maxi, I'm going to tell Kate you won't change your mind and find someone else to put on the cover. Carly I don't care that Brenda's in your magazine I care that she's in your heart.

Kristina, what's that supposed to mean? Girl, people go into prison and they never come out the same. Girl, I did a study the recidivism rate for prisoners is like ridiculous.  Dante comes out and asks Kristina what happened. She tells him. He asks the other kids if they seen what happened. They said it was a really cool body slam out of now where Micheal took him down. Bryce comes out of nursing office. Dante questions him. Said he was welcoming Michael back made a joke about prison and Micheal completely lost it. Taylor is at his car getting books. Mr. Buckley thinks he should suspend Michael and notify the courts. Dante, it amazes me how willing you are to belive Michael would fly off the handle like this, every situation in the past he has dealt with calm and maturity, so I have to ask myself whats different about this situation. Kristina, whats different is Bryce attacked Micheal first. Dante turns around and ask the other kids if they seen anything. Taylor comes up and tells Dante the truth then all of a sudden the other kids decided Bryce started it. Dante wants to bring charges against Bryce. Michael says just forget it and walks away.

Kristina going into Mikes. Ethan, hey you. Kristina, your one of the few people I'm glad to see. Told Ethan what happened at school. Ethan, all right Michael.  Ethan gives her a pep talk. Maya comes up, Ethan sweet talks Maya and kisses her in front of Kristina.

Dante and Micheal at home discussing what happened. Michael said he backed me into a corner, one thing I learned at Pentonville is if you let someone trap you.... You know your right I should of walked away. I'll do that next time. Dante, maybe its time we talk about what happened to you in prison.

I Want A Soap Where ....

A couple stays married forever.

Soaps used to do this. You know Joe and Ruth on All My Children, Tom and Alice on Days of Our Lives, I think Edward and Lila on General Hospital. There have been a few couples over the years that have lasted. Didn't you dream as a little girl or boy to grow up and be married to the same person forever? 

The only couple I can think of that is left are Joe and Ruth on All My Children, and except for special occasions they are retired to Florida and aren't on the show anymore. 

I want my soaps to start developing a couple now, to fall in love either at first sight or hate each other first then fall in love, I don't care how they work it out I just want them to fall in love, get married and stay married forever. Gay, straight I don't care I just want a couple that stays married.

I mean the couple can still have bumps in the road, but I want them to work it out. I want that dream. For those of you that say it doesn't happen in the real world, all the more reason to have it in a soap, maybe if people have an example to follow they would work harder to stay together in real life. If people are having a rough real life, they can watch a happy couple and have hope.

Soaps aren't real! I love them, don't get me wrong. I love that there is a new episode every day and very seldom a rerun. BUT, soaps have writers, that get paid to be imaginative. So imagine that there is a couple that can work anything out and make it happen. Have the big family holiday dinners where everyone comes together and has a good day, no matter what else has happened the rest of the week.

Take All My Children for example, where's the anchor family of the show? I mean it's called All My Children. The Chandlers are spread out everywhere. Haley and Mateo are gone. You could bring them back, but I'm guessing Kelly and Mark aren't available, and its hard to imagine someone else playing them. The Cortlandt' s are all gone except Caleb. Every time the Kane women get together for a family meal its pretty much guaranteed a disaster and none of them have stay married, except Bianca whose now separated.

There's a possibility with the Hubbard family. They could have Angie & Jessie grow old together, be the anchor family. They have both been married to other people, but I could forgive that, since they have always remained in love, and their separation was beyond their control. (Well kind of) The family has a long history on the show. They have a family going now that would make for some nice family dinners. They have Frankie and Randi who could also be a couple to stay married forever, have some babies. Need to feel a little more love there, but it could work. Get Natalia married with some babies, got the new baby on the way.  They have laid some good ground work, and you have Jessie and Angie to help them through the rough patches, like when Frankie had his hand surgery and Angie gave Randi guidance. The more I think about it, the more I think the Hubbard's are a good candidate's for the long time couple and anchor family.

I think my other soaps are going to have to start from scratch. So come on my soap writers earn your keep get imaginative!

I WANT MY DREAM !

Soaps Today, September 13, 2010

Young & Restless

I don't think the way Victoria was thrown into the car was too respectful. Ok, so did they sign the license before the vows ? or is this going to be a loop hole for Victor? Deacon always seems to get lucky when Nicks around. LOL That dress Phyllis is wearing sure is shiny! You go Nikki, tell Victor off good! Still can't believe he'd do that to his own daughter. Nikki kinda looks like she's been drinking, and like she wants too.

Boy Owen sure was quick to turn on Ronan. Nina is breaking my heart. Chance dying, whole different atmosphere on this show compared to when David died on AMC. Oh, Nina talking about Iraq & Chance is making me cry. I sure am glad Murphy is there for Catherine. I like him so much.Give it to Ronan Chloe!

Billy cracks me up, he sure isn't afraid of Victor is he. The look on Nikki's face is cracking me up. Ouch! Victor. I think Victoria needs to do the tough love thing and walk away from Victor.

OMG Cricket! First you make a play on her man, then you get her son killed. WHY would she let you help her?

Heather and Chloe friends? Just like on AMC, I'd like that.

All My Children

I want to know who Asher is already! Ok, so how did Asher know Bianca was sending the "Nerd Army"? I think they deserved a better name than Nerd Army.

I still want to know where Madison was during the party. She disappeared and she's already killed one man.

Why does Kendall lie to Zach? She knows she's going to get caught.

I nailed it! I said either someone spiked the drinks (Maybe Greenlee) or Madison did something. Maybe Madison spiked the drinks, Frankie or Jake both have access to drugs. ????????

Ut oh, AJ missing. If David weren't on a table in the morgue I would suspect him! Who's the new bad guy gonna be?

Boy not much new there today.

One Life To Live

Eli's alive, no surprise there, but I really thought that was him outside Todd's house and he doesn't look like he's that mobile right now, so Ross must be with him.

Maybe Tea got her sight back and she's wondering around.

John McBain is not only sexy, but smart too!  He is so onto Eli. This Natalie questioning is stupid, Natalie is not that naive and she's not pregnant enough to say pregnancy destroyed her brain cells.

Vivian sex talk with Destiny is a riot! Her mother asked Vivian to talk to her. Poor Shaun! LOL

Brody, what a slime you are. You needed to come clean, before you asked her to marry you! I used to like Brody, I'm losing all respect. Grow some boy!

Can't believe Ross just walks in there. Isn't there a warrant out for his arrest?

General Hospital

Claire needs to make up her mind either she wants to have Sonny's baby or she wants to put him in jail. What's it gonna be ? This back and forth is making me nuts. I say reproduce those dimples!

I said I saw a road crew worker in the background. I just thought it was Michael.

Almost feel sorry for this road crew guy.

Yea, right this truce ain't gonna last long at all.

I am still not feeling the love for this Brenda character. Seems to be pretty stupid if you ask me. Why's she keep going out alone if she knows people are trying to kill her.

I'm ready for some Max and Diane, and a girls night. But the girls are kinda a mess right now and Elizabeth is gone. Maybe Alexis and Diane can go hang with the lumberjack guys again. LOL

Jason has Bernie check with the contacts in Rome to see if Sonny has made contact with anyone. Spinelli comes in says he's going to access security footage on Baker street. I called that one.

Wowzaa, Robin punches Lisa square in the face. Wow! Robin put her whole little body into that. Robin, Stay away from my daughter you psycho bitch!  You twisted psychotic freak, what kinda of monster targets an innocent little girl? (Patrick trying to hold Robin back) First you screw my husband and then you target my daughter. Do you even know how sick you are? I dare you, I dare you to touch my daughter. I will kill you before you lay a finger on her. Lisa of course has no idea what Robin is talking about playing all innocent. Lisa, Someone is sick but its not me, she looks at Patrick and says I was in the scrub room with you the whole time wasn't I? Patrick, we were scrubbing up the last twenty minutes but I have no idea where she was before that. Robin tells Patrick about the beaker. Lisa blames Robin going back and forth. Robin says she wishes she had broken every bone in her body when she hit her with the car. Steve interrupts and tells Robin she is going to have to leave and puts her on suspension.

Lucky and Maxie go to Robin's lab. Maxie says you have to arrest Lisa. Lucky, we have to eliminate Robin first. Lucky says there is a difference between what I think and what I can prove. Mack arrives and orders full sweep of lab. Lucky says if we find anything she'll just say she has been in her before for work. We gotta do something Robin is unraveling fast.

Murphy meets Suzanne. Guess he's not dead. Murphy, the two guys were trying to put me in the van and the guys gun went off. I came around here and Brenda was holding hands with some guy who was holding a gun on two other men. Suzanne was she struggling? Murphy, No, she and this man went running off together. Murphy is calling Interpol. Suzanne said bad idea, you say she went with this guy willingly, if we call Interpol she is just going to be pissed as hell.

Brenda and Sonny in a room. Sonny I paid the desk clerk extra to forget what we look like. So whose these guys after you. Brenda, some criminals, I can't believe your standing here in front of me. Sonny, Looks like I finally got the timing right. Brenda tells Sonny about ASEC and  talking to Robin in Africa. Sonny gives her a hard time about being late all the time. Brenda tells him Balkin guy is after her, she thinks its because of the work she does. I think its because of Sonny or something else. Sonny, why are you out here alone?

Her mother had some kind of mental illness where there was a high chance she could pass it on to Brenda, once Brenda got that in her head she thought she was going to go insane. So she figured as her husband I could commit her when the time came. Sam, well did she inherit the gene. Jason, no that's what I'm talking about she was addicted to the drama in her own life.We did not have to get married but we did.  Sam, after all these years do you still feel obligated.

Earlier you said you were going to talk to Sonny about a truce, why now? Johnny, I don't want Sonny's kids to be collateral damage. Claire, not even a pause, its been my experience, the more confident a person is when answering a question, the more likely they're lying. Johnny, I just can't win with you, your doing everything you can to prove Sonny is innocent again.

Brenda arrives home, she has been to the market. Suzanne giving Brenda grief about going out unprotected. Suzanne thinks its time Brenda goes back to the states. Brenda you want me to quit ASEC? Suzanne, I want you to take a break. Go home. Brenda, where's home Port Charles? I can't go back there. Suzanne, no ditching security, no going out by yourself and if something else happens you'll consider going back to Port Charles. Suzanne leaves, Brenda crying pulls out Sonny's number again.

Sonny has arrived in Rome. Tells the butler he's checking up on an old friend. Giorgio arrives at Sonny's says Mr. Coppola wanted to welcome you personally to Rome but he's tied up in business. He asked me to make myself available to you, do you know how long your stay will be. Sonny, I haven't decided yet, it depends on if I make contact with someone I used to know who lives in Rome, do you think maybe you can help me find her. Shows him Brenda's picture in a magazine. Giorgio tells Sonny where Brenda is, tells him security is tight, no one is allowed up to Ms Barrett's floor unless they have been cleared, but there is a garden entrance on the south side Ms Barrett has been seen leaving. I can keep watch, call you when she comes outside. Sonny, no that's alright. Giorgio, Mr Coppola wants you to have security while you are here, there is a new player in the city, the Balkan. Sonny I don't need any protection. Giorgio, so far the Balkan has kept peace, respected our territory, the boss would like to keep it that way. Sonny, assure your boss I am here on personal business.

Nicholas did indeed take Brook to his house. Nicholas offers Brook tea and a warm bath. Brook, you really are a prince. So now that your all dry do you want to tell me why you were wondering around in the rain. Brook, its a long story but I got screwed over by Carly. Brook tells Nicholas the whole story. Nicholas tells Brook if she needs a job he thinks he has one she'll be perfect for. That call you walked in on was an invitation to a house party, the host encouraged me to bring a date. Brook, me? Nicholas, yes it would be awkward if I showed up alone. I will pay you to be my date for the weekend. Brook, you got the wrong idea I'm not a hooker. Nicholas, you took money from Carly to sleep with Dante. Brook, yeah I did not go through with it. Nicholas, you will not be required to sleep with me. I simply need someone to accompany me for the weekend. You will be paid well.

Christina, Micheal and Dante discuss Sonny's leaving.Michael thinks he's innocent Dante doesn't. Michael wants Dante to keep looking for the gun.

Lulu goes to Dante's. Dante says he should have known Sonny was going to skip bail, he's a criminal that's what he does. The only way Michael is going to believe Johnny wasn't shot in self defense is if Sonny admits it.

Sam wakes up, Jason fills her in on Sonny. If he is caught in Italy they will extradite him. Sam, Sonny is smart. Jason, not when it comes to Brenda. Jason, Brenda is a pain, she's selfish and spoiled, but she did go through a lot with Jax and Sonny that's why she moved to Rome to get away and start all over. Sam, she's made a pretty good life for herself.

Carly meets Jax at Mikes. Chit Chat then.. Carly wasn't this a special place for you and Brenda. Sonny jumped bail he left everything, he's going to need something to hold on to. Jax, What are you saying he went to see Brenda? Jax, Brenda broke the cycle, I can't believe he's gonna go screw that up. Carly, here's the question are you going to feel the need to fly off to Rome to save Brenda from Sonny again?

Sonny at cafe outside of Brenda's Hotel. Someone just called Brenda to come downstairs. Brenda comes outside standing there looking for someone. She doesn't see Sonny, he doesn't see her. I smell a setup.

Michael goes to see Johnny. Michael did I wake you? Johnny, no just staring at the ceiling thinking how lucky I am to be alive. Michael, you've had a lot of close calls lately. Car bombing, drive by shooting, Johnny, yea your pop went through a lot to set me up for all that. He couldn't be to happy that you spoiled his plans. Michael, remember what you said to me when I pushed you out of the way? Johnny, Said I owed you. Michael, well I'm collecting on that debt. I want to know the truth and I don't think that is asking too much. My dad said he shot you in self defense that you had a gun is that true?

Who do you think the Balkin is? I'm thinking Lorenzo back from the dead, Nicholas, Helena, Holly, Micco? the lost Casadine they talked about that never transpired. You know the one that supposedly kidnapped Helena a while back. Franco? Hum Could be a number of people. Guess we'll have to wait and see. I think Nicholas' weekend trip is somehow connected to the Balkan.
