WTF? LOL aka My Reaction To Felicia and Michael

Hey guys! I wanted to post this sooner, but with all of the holiday craziness, I got sidetracked. Speaking of, I hope all of you enjoyed and continue to enjoy the holiday season...and be safe!

Ok, moving on. Everything I'm covering here is from Thursday 12/20. As everyone is well aware....Georgie is dead. And what better way to mourn her than bring on her never seen, hardly mentioned mom, right? So I'm all anxious, waiting to see Felicia throw herself at the mercy of Maxie and Mac. Finally! Maxie can rightfully flip on her mother for not being there for the time her heart gave out. Or when her boyfriend died. Or when she was stealing drugs for her married lover. Or when said married lover dumped and she tried to OD. Or when she was locked in a vault all night in a hotel that was set to explode. Boy, was Felicia going to feel terrible!

So here she comes into the house and at first glance I knew this was not going to turn out like I had expected.

Enter WTF?

First off, not a knock or a ring of the bell, she just comes in like she still lives there. And then I notice how great she looks, which is wonderful for Kristina Wagner, b/c she really looks good, but would a mother who's daughter just died look this put together....I mean even for a soap world? And I am certainly not sensing a grieving mom, the only sense I get from her is someone nostalgic, as she looks around the house, with what I think was a frown.

But wait, Maxie almost hiys her with a fire poker! And wouldn't anyone when you think a stranger is barging in your house when your sister is just murdered? But I guess Felicia the Selfish didn't think of that until it was almost too late.

Then Felicia goes in for the hug....but Maxie wants an explanation, damnit! Not a hug. That's when Felicia drops the F bomb. No, not that F bomb! This is, after all, daytime television! No, this F bomb is Frisco! He needed her for some secret mission, and he was in dire condition, and he's her true love, and Mariah is in a nursing home, and it was too dangerous to call, and blah, blah, blah. Maxie isn't buying this ish. And I don't blame her, because as Felicia may be apologizing, she isn't 100% sorry and she has the nerve to ask Maxie to not ask her to regret her time with Frisco. WHAT? Maxie is supposed to be okay with the fact that she and her sister have been through serious stuff where they needed their mom, but it's okay that she wasn't there b/c she was with her father who doesn't give 2 craps about her? Right.....

And btw, where the hell is Frisco? And does he even send his condolenses? And why did Felicia start sobbing as if on cue when Robin came in? And why, for all that is holy, did Kristina Wagner adopt Maddona's version of the British accent? So many questions, and the answers are not good enough for me. But I did enjoy the scene with Maxie and Dillon....I teared up a bit at that.

Oh, and Kirsten Storms for an Emmy in '08. Absoulutley love her.

Okay, now on to Michael, the mini-mobster-in training. I didn't catch this episode when it first aired because I was at work. So when I got home, I looked to the recaps and message boards to see what I had missed. And boy, were you guys pissed! Apparently Michael was all but putting hits on people. No, actually, he was kind of doing that, too. So I stood up late to catch the episode on SoapNet. I just had to see what the hell was going on with this mini-mobster.

Enter LOL.

I know it's not supposed to be funny. But I really did laugh out loud. Do see this little boy asking his dad to "take someone out" is ridiculous. Of course TPTB did eventually have to do this story, but what they are doing to this little kid is absurd!

Michael goes to a private school. Now, I myself attened Catholic school and I can assure you that no child gets off of that campus, or at that age, even tried for that matter. So if I were Carly or Sonny, I would being looking into the school system.

So Carly and Sonny are all mad at Michael for wanting to be a mobster, just like his dad. How sweet. No, not really. If there was ever any reason (and I think having his children kidnapped and one presumed dead was good enough) to get out of the mob, here it is. But no. Instead the writers want us to think that it's cute that a child wants to be a killer. We should have gotten the cue when Michael started slicking back his hair like St. Jasus that there would be trouble.

And Carly thought the Quartermaine lifestyle would be uniftting to raise a family? Yeah, they are dysfunctional, but with the exception of Jason, none of their children went to Monica or Alan, asking them to off anyone.

A.J. must be alternatley rolling over and laughing in his grave.

Some More on Sarah....Oh, I Cannot Wait For Confirmations!

Okay, guys. I have some more on the Sarah Brown front. Apparently at a fan appearance, Steve Burton confirmed that he heard the rumors of Sarah's return. He said that if she returns, it will not be as Carly. Take that for what it's worth....but this much I believe.



Now for the next tidbit. All credit goes to Soapdom.com. So if you don't like it...don't blame me! And please remember, take all of this with a GRAIN OF SALT!


Casting Coup ~ Sarah Brown Returns
Written by By Laura DeBrizzi with Linda Marshall-Smith Monday, 03 December 2007 After years away from Port Charles, fan favorite, Sarah Joy Brown is heading home.
Sarah Joy Brown is returning to the soap that gave her career a jolt - General Hospital. But there's a twist. According to insiders, the Emmy-winning actress will not assume the role of Carly which she originated back in 1996 and is now played by Laura Wright.
Since leaving GH in 2001, Brown has continually found work for herself. Some may recognize her from a one year stint as Julia on As the World Turns beginning in 2004. Many remember Brown from her many guest appearances in prime-time, including "The Closer," "Cold Case," and "The Perfect Husband: The Laci Peterson Story." Brown also enjoyed a venture into film with her role as Constance in "Big Momma's House" in 2006.
Regarding her return to General Hospital, however, the question is if she's not Carly, then who the heck is she? Will anyone recognize that familiar face? Sounds like Head Writer Robert Guza has a few surprises up his sleeve once the new year kicks off!
Those close to the General Hospital set tell Soapdom that Brown is expected to play a rival mob boss. In addition, the powers that be are also considering pairing her character with Jason (Steve Burton). Guess Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) is out of the picture!
More specifically, here's what we know so far:
Brown will be playing Angela Zacharra, Anthony's daughter and Johnny's sister. Her first scene will be her showing up at Sonny's to talk, but finds Jason instead. We've learned that Brown's Angela is calling upon the "Zacchara" rivals because she wants to help them take control of her father's territory. Why the treachery? Brown's Angela loves her brother Johnny but hates Trevor. The icing on the cake is that Angela will also have a past with Ric.
General Hospital, although a tad tight lipped, has confirmed that Brown is indeed returning to GH. It should be noted that Brown also makes mention of her return to General Hospital on her official website.
Look for the actress to first air as Angela in January 2008. We can't help wonder if she'll have sparks with Sonny. Stay tuned.

Some More Rumors on Sarah Brown aka The Guardian Angel Sent to Help This Show

These are just rumors, so take them with a HUGE grain of salt. But I wanted to pass you guys all the info I can until we find out what's what with this exciting development. Now....go ahead and read. All credit goes to SD. I found these rumors on the Soapcentral message board.

* SBr's first scenes will air in January 2008. *

* She has a past with Ric.
Thanks! How long does she stick around for? She signed for 2 years with an out after 1.
Does her story play out during sweeps? Is her return short-term or longer term? Thanks.
The mob story is huge during sweeps and she is long term.
OMG,thank you so much, is she going to be doing any scenes with Mo? She will have a lot of scenes with MB.
How will SBr affect Scrubs and Liason? She has no effect on either. She is going to be paired with SBu down the line. Scrubs are set for each other. LuSam? Scrubs? Jax??
LuSam and Scrubs will be together and Jax will stay with Carly. Thanks. Will Scrubs baby story start during sweeps as well? Anything else on them? Scrubs will be strong and together. Leyla will try to break them up but it won't work and they will stand against her. So SBr...is she gonna be a Sason enemy?? Please tell me she will be. Very Happy Very Happy Things will be testy with them all at first but they are working together. Thanks.
Anything on Lucky and the custody? Hoe long does he have the kids? What does he do to the kids that makes him return them to Liz? He has them until Jason and Liz break up and then he returns them.

BREAKING NEWS: TPTB LOVE CARLY SO MUCH THEY MAY HAVE TWO OF THEM!

Color me shocked everbody. As of November 30th, Sarah Brown's (the original Carly) website has confirmed she is coming back to the show. I repeat, SARAH BROWN IS RETURNING TO GENERAL HOSPITAL. Yeah, you read that right. I just checked outside, but there are no pigs flying and as far as I know, hell did not freeze over.

Mysteriously enough, her site did not say she was resuming the role of Carly, and rumors have it that she is the new Sarah Webber (which I refuse to believe b/c Sarah Brown's Carly was so good at hating Liz.) I do not have any clue where this leaves Laura Wright, but I hope she is not of the shuffle.

What would have been good is if she came on as Charlotte "Carly" Roberts, but of course TPTB already fudged up that would-be good story.

If these scab writers are responsible for the return of a multiple Emmy winner, then long live this damn strike! More details to come as I get them...

The Aftermath...November Sweeps

I was going to write another post detailing the past week and a half in review. But then I realized something. I only need two words to sum it up. EMILY'S DEAD. You didn't even have to watch last week to know that. Even the baby paternity reveal couldn't trump that ish. In fact, the whole reveal is kinda forgettable in comparison.

So here we go, another Quartermaine bites the dust. And then there were 3. The only good thing about the Quartermaines dropping like flies is the fact that Ned comes to visit for their funerals. And while it is great to see him, it's not enough reason to kill off almost an entire family.

Wait, another good thing. Tyler Christopher rocked the house (or shall I say, the Wyndermere) in Em's death scenes. Emmy committe take not, if he is not at least nominated, them you suck more than I thought. And I got misty-eyed watching Edward talk to Skye. Another great was Laura Wright, who played Carly quite appropriatley during the scene. I'm sure you all know that Carly and Emily's relationship was tolerance, at best. Carly stayed in the background and subtly showed emotion, until she pulled Jason into a hug. Then when she realized her own mortality (which actually surprised me), she clung to Jax for dear life.

So, anyway, sorry this post isn't very snarky, but I'm pissed that TPTB are spitting in the face of legacy, yet again. And, no, don't expect this to be the last child of a legacy character that dies. I'm not going to spoil it for the people who don't know, but there is another to come. Even the children of legacy characters aren't safe! Unless your LuLu, of course.

The Prince is Giving a Ball! Sweeps Review 11/5-11/9

When we last left the citizens of Port Charles, danger was lurking around every corner. Let's see if things got any better. Don't hold your breath.

We start with Jason "Cool Rider" Morgan braving the storm to rescue his loved ones. Funny how none of the boats, excuse me, launches, can go out in the storm, but Jason and his God-forsaken jet ski make it through, even when it looks like the damn thing explodes. That wonders of Jason Morgan and his hair never cease to amaze me.

Back at Wyndermere, Nik is still whining that nothing at the ball is going as planned. Then he goes and knocks out Lucky after another blackout. And he wonders why no one wants him walking around by himself?

Meanwhile Emily tells the story of the original ball YET AGAIN. But of course she tells her very special edited version where Nikolas isn't in love with Robin. I like the original version better, thank you.

Liz, obviously still reeling over seeing a dead body, plucks that ice pick right out of that man's chest to use as a weapon while wondering the hallways. Ever resourseful, she is. And lemme tell you something, Liz wondering the hallways with that wide-eyed, scared look, carrying that bloody ice pick had cheesy horror B-movie written all over it. And did anyone else notice that Liz was leaving her fingerprints all over a murder weapon?

But luckily for Liz, she wasn't alone for long....because guess who come to her rescue? Zander Smith! Wait, no wrong baby's father....Jason Morgan! Of course, duh. But Jason doesn't just quietly whisper Liz's name. He comes up behind her and scares the crap out of her. Why, I don't know. But boy is Liz relieved to see her hero, Jason. He takes her to the stables for safety and then see she's got a bruise. She tells him Sam did it and she's crazy. Jason said he'll take care of Sam later. Oh, please. It's not Sam's fault that Liz bruised and she didn't. She just hits harder, that's all! Once at the barn Jason teaches a reluctant Liz how to shoot a gun. And I swear, he's getting off on the fact that she's doing it. It's like he popped her gun-shooting cherry, or something.

We see Alexis slapping Trevor and calling him a selfish bastard for not helping Ric aka Richard. But I'm sure that Ric is fine, as he is alone in a room with Alexis, Skye, and Leyla.

You would think with all this ish going on that Sonny would be front and center, being that one of the madmen is there because of him. But no, he and Kate are totally oblivious as they are still having "The TALK." But talking isn't the only thing they are doing, because Trevor walks in on them having sex. Shocking.

Oh yeah, Robin and Patrick have their standard 2 minutes of relationship (or lack thereof) talk.

Sam, Jax and Jerry decide to go and fix a boat so they can take people to the mainland. But they don't realize that only Jason and his jetski can make it in a storm because that makes perfect sense. Anyway, while the 3 are arguing, Carly sneaks out, determined to find that damn text-message killer.

While Carly is running around aimlessly, she trips on Coop, who's in bad shape. But Carly is on a mission, so Coop be damned!

Just then, shots are fired! Uh-oh, people are shooting at the boat. To keep her safe Jax jumps on Sam, and if you remember their history, this isn't the first time. Don't worry, everyone comes out unscathed.

My new favorite newbie Nadine learns the hard way never to become involved in one of Lulu's half-baked schemes. Anthony grabs her thinking she's Lulu. While he's kinda annoyed that she's not LuLu....he's really annoyed that she's not into gardening. But not to worry, Spinelli comes to Nadine's aid, and the 2 run around the halls and scream when they see Anthony again. More proof that this is a B-rated horror movie.

Ric is in bad shape and he needs a blood transfusion, stat! But of course finding A negative or O blood types won't be easy, because it's a soap opera we're talking about.

Sam, Jax, and Jerry have a different way of saving Ric. They will use their newly-fixed boat to bring him to the mainland! But the three of them fight to see who is the most qualified to steer a boat in such dire conditions. But before a brutal game of rock-paper-scissors insues, Jax is declared the winner.

Oh, and Lulu is all running around like a moron like usual. Everthing is "Logan, blah, blah, blah, Johnny, blah, blah, blah." Meanwhile, Scott, Luke, and Logan realize they have to work together to get through the night.

But Maxie has more than one great jab at LuLu....as she is seeing the situation as it really is. Lulu being stupid.

Nik and Em are still talking about the ball gone wrong. I mean really, Nik, enough whining about it. Seriously, the guy is flippin' a cheeseburger because there's a killer (or 2) on the loose, like it's his fault it happened and HE has to go fix it because it's HIS house, and blackouts be damned. Nik, this isn't like you ordered patte and got caviar. Just be quiet and do what you're told!

Spinelli nearly pees his pants in delight when he and Nadine run into Jason. Nadine is baffled as to why Jason would want to send her and Spinelli to the barn and look for the killer on his own. And Jason is just as confused that a pretty female isn't asking to have his babies. To say the least, Nadine is none to impressed by St. Jasus Morgan, patron saint of the leather jacket.


Carly is still galavanting outside when she trips and bumps her head. When she wakes up, the sight ain't too pretty. It's Anthony Zachara! He starts talking about roses and women and ask's Carly if she loves her kids more than her husband. Carly's slick and says that the love is different and she will love her husband forever. Good enough for Anthony and he lets her go. What gets me is that he doesn't seem to know who Carly is. Doesn't every mob boss on the East Coast know who Carly is?

Ric is still out of it and shares a sweet scene with Alexis, telling her he wish he could do everything over. But he doesn't say he regrets sleeping with Sam. Hmmm.... Anyway, I got sad that TPTB ruined this couple, but Skye/Ric have loads of potential. I won't hold my breath, though.

Sonny grabs Johnny and puts a gun to his head to try and lure out Anthony. It doesn't work, because he's not in the building. Sonny would know that if he wasn't so busy having sex. Anyway, not being able to resist a pretty woman, or in this case two, Sonny let's go of Johnny after Kate and LuLu beg him. You know Sonny, he's a sucker for women begging. Johnny isn't too grateful, he tells Sonny that he's a fruitloop just like Anthony.

In the barn, Nadine and Liz are consoling Spinelli because he thinks that Jason thinks he's a wimp. Does it matter what Jason thinks? He obviously thinks that his hair looks good, does anyone else? But their are bigger fish to fry. There's a dead guy outside! And what are his famous last words? Zachara. Da-duh-dun!

Nikolas still wants to go a-hunting for the killer. He has a gun and is all ready. Emily is all hell no, but agrees when she realizes that they need her to help operate on Ric.

And how are they going to operate, you might ask? Not to worry, Patrick has the fishing line all ready, and Em is off to find the portable defibulator. Yeah, I know. Who the hell keeps a portable defibulator lying around their house? Apparently Nikolas.

Luke and Jerry are arguing over whether or not sailing a boat in a storm is a good idea. But Luke is alarmed when he hears a familar scream. "Spanky!" he exclaims. It is, and she took a tumble down the stairs when Alfred accidently scared her.

Carly storms (no pun intended) into the ballroom in a rage about Anthony. But then she realizes that Jax is gone. And when she finds out that he's off to sail Ric to safety she is mortified. But she's not done. She lashes out on Kate when she doesn't know where Sonny is, Carly is certain that she can find him. You, know because Carly is the ultimate mob moll, and all.


Logan is all pissy AGAIN, because Maxie is just speaking the truth about LuLu. But when Maxie disappears, he's all quick to say that she's doing it for attention. Um, no that's your girlfriend that does this for attention, not Maxie. He goes on and on until Georgie all but attacks his ass and Coops tells him he's a coward, just like he was in Iraq. Are we ever gonna find out what the hell went down with Logan in Iraq? Because I care less and less everytime they hint at it.

Turns out Anthony has Maxie, of course. He gives her his betrayal speech, and tells her he wants to play a game of Russian roulette, but in order to do so he must find a gaming room. Maxie points him in the wrong direction, and smacks him over the head when he turns his back. She hightails it outta there, and runs into Lucky on the way out. They hug in relief.

You know Lulu would be so jealous that Maxie hit Anthony before she did. But what she's not understanding is that she's not the only target, everyone is. Johnny should save his breath.

Patrick tells Sam and Jerry that Ric is too weak to leave the island. But don't worry, there hard work will not go to waste! Alexis and her side pains will go with Jax to the mainland. All is well! And did anyone else notice that Jax and Emily are all kinds of pretty when they were standing next to each other? They would have been a gorgeous couple, for sure.

Sam is having no lucky in finding Lucky....lol.

Nadine tells Liz about her sister, Jolene (as played by my pretend best friend Amanda Baker). Liz tells Nadine that sometimes people do things they never think they would do. I wonder what she's talking about....hmmmm....

Jason shows up at that very moment with two new people to stay in the barn, Johnny and Lulu. Liz can't control herself and jumps on Jason when she sees him. Later, Liz tells Nadine that Jason is not "her guy" and she should forget what she saw. Two things: 1) Her guy? What is this, a '50's sock hop? 2) If Nadine doesn't forget what she saw, is Liz gonna order a hit on her? Because she was kinda intent that Nadine doesn't say anything.

Spinelli is put in charge of babysitting Lulu. Lulu is all huffy because she thinks her "abilities" are being wasted just sitting in the barn and she wants to go help Johnny and Jason. In an attempt to stop her, Spinelli hits her over the head and knocks her out. Then Spinelli gets my gold star for the week. Congratulations, Mr. Jackyl!!

Back at the house, Trevor is begging Sonny to donate his blood to Ric. Sonny isn't saying much, but I think he's enjoying the fact that 3 people have begged him in the past couple of days. Kate thinks Sonny should donate his blood, something Carly finds deplorable. Kate wins, and Carlys gets all huffy that she doesn't get her way. Kate tells Sonny not to chase after her, and he obeys.

But what Carly wanders into isn't very good. A bunch of those rascaly gunmen are aimed to fire! Sam happens upon the scene, and Jason is soon to follow. Sharing a knowing glance, they open fire one the gunmen and save the day...and Carly. Carly is, as always, eternally grateful to Jason, but tells Sam that she only helped so Jason would take her back. St. Jason is all "Sam knows why I would never forgive her." And Sam is all like "Well I wouldn't come back if you came crawling!" But we all know that EVENTUALLY they will get back together. But maybe my Sam/Jason loving heart is just hoping for too much. Carly tells Jason that Sam is out to get them She doesn't even know the half of it!!

Lulu comes to (which is unfortunate, I was hoping for at least a few days of her out cold). She tells Spinelli that he is the best friend she has ever had. Okay, now this Lulu I like. But when Nadine accidently spills the beans that Spinelli hit her, she's back to whiny. Sigh. Nadine puts Lulu in her place and tells her that if Spinelli didn't hit her, she would! Did I mention that I love Nadine?

Nik fights with Logan, and later blacks out on Em for the 2,345th time. Anthony finds them and attacks Nik, while Em does nothing but scream. The gun is lying on the floor, right where Em could grab it, but she just screams her heart out. Luckily, Johnny saves the day. He's so hot. Sorry, I just had to add that one in.

Nik is tired of all his blackouts and asks Em to lock him in the closet. Emily is not too crazy about this idea, and I don't blame her. Being alone in a closet, locked or not, is all kinds of creepy in killers on the loose.

Luke and Tracy get all mushy and the writers use this opportunity to spit in our faces that they aren't asking Genie Francis back. Thanks, writers, thanks alot. Later, leaves to find Anthony, and find him he does. The 2 fight over who is more crazy, almost like kindred spirits. But then Luke has a heart attack, and the noises he makes crack me up.

Ric is ten shades of stunned that Trevor is visiting him, while Sonny unconcious from giving blood. Kate tries to make him come to, but Carly is the one that snaps him out of it. Maybe Sonny was afraid that at any minute Carly would start shrieking in his ear.

Sam and Lucky go to the stables for protection, where they stumble upon Liz. Sam is trying to get Liz to tell Lucky the truth to no avail. But, as always, Jason comes to the rescue, and stops Sam from talking. Ahhh, Cliffhanger Friday, now we gotta wait EVEN LONGER for the truth to come out!

Stay tuned for the next review of 11/12-11/16. Will Nik start singing R. Kelly's "Trapped in a Closet?" Will somebody knock out Lulu, again....please? We'll soon find out!
