Serial Drama

I still honestly thought Luke wasn't really dead and we'd eventually get some great send-off. Even if it never happened, it was a nice thing to think could still be possible. Heartbreaking to know it never will.

From Genie:

General Hospital Legend Anthony Geary, Who Played Luke Spencer, Dies At 78 - Soap Opera Digest General Hospital superstar Anthony Geary, beloved to fans for his run as Luke Spencer, has passed away at the age of 78.

I thought we'd get a breather from tragic news for a minute.

We did not.

Anthony Geary has passed.

Well, that movie MORE than lived up to the hype! Wow.

Also for my #OLTL folks, in case you hadn't caught it yet (okay, and for #Hamilton folks!)

I'd seen her on TV a bunch over the years but never made the OLTL connection -- just thought of her as an actress I liked who popped up in a ton of NYC-shot series.

Anyway, if you're in the area, go check it out -- she's tremendous in the role. www.primarystages.org/laowang

For my longtimer #OLTL folks -- went to a play at Primary Stages tonight & the lead actress was so familiar, like I just FELT the Llanview, but I couldn't place her at first. About 15 minutes in, it hit me... Kim! Kim the nanny!!!

The arc of Monica's death and Tracy/Jason's response and Ronnie's arrival was top notch, so it's just frustrating that it CAN be so good!

(Doesn't help that I can't stand 2 of those characters & am ambivalent on the other 2) #GH

There are few story devices on soaps that I love more than "adversaries must begrudgingly work together toward a shared goal," but BOTH Carly/Valentin and Nina/Drew are falling completely flat for me now. That's a bummer. #GH

Came back to #GH for saying goodbye to Monica and seeing Erika Slezak's run, and now I feel like they're repositioning the priority stories in a way that makes me not sure if I'm even drawn to stay. I swear every time I hear Drew's voice I feel extreme nausea.

Uggggh.

I feel like I'm SUPPOSED to know who that weird guy was creeping on Felicia at the hospital today? But I definitely did not. What am I missing?

#GH

Unfortunately, this alliance between Valentin and Carly-in-Ava's-Denise-wig is VERY dull to me so far.

So is whatever this business is between Ava and Sidwell, & usually Ava makes ANYthing interesting to me.

#GH

Monica would be

so

proud

Welp, lest we thought that the death of his mother & his feeling closer to his family softened him a bit, they made sure Jason had a big murder boner today!

Before I started watching again & I'd hear about "Marco on #GH," I kept thinking Marco Dane was back and getting excited!

Wait, was that Marco's first "I love you" to Lucas? And he did it AFTER asking him to move in with him? Wrong order, buddy!

#GH

All these name drops make me VERY happily certain Brad will be back any second now!

"If Sonny Corinthos sees you as a threat to his children, there will be no peace, there will be no compromise, there will be no place to hide."

Huh. Seems a little hyperbolic given that he's largely never done anything to the people who (1/2)

#GH

I hope she'll visit again! Obviously the Q Thanksgiving is too soon to hope for, but hopefully sometime next year

Aww, was that Erika Slezak's last episode? I'm so sad! But getting to see her work again (and especially opposite Jane Elliot like that) actually provided some lovely comfort in what started as such a sad story.

(But now I want a hug from Ronnie.)

#GH

I had to concentrate really hard in my jello-brain to figure out when Lucas lived at Wyndemere (as his boyfriend mentioned today). Oh yeah!

#GH

Today's #GH feels really anticlimactic after all the excitement of recent weeks, but I guess it's mostly place-setting for the "Faison's Plan" arc of November sweeps

This show's been going HARD this week on characters who were given a pass on charges & likely prison time getting sanctimonious at the people who gave them said pass while the door is still WIDE open for those charges to be pressed. It's weird! (But largely rushed into due to actor availability.
#GH

Nooo! Ava, you NEED to let Lucas stay living with you! You two are one of my favorite duos!

#GH

Ugh, I was doing an image search for something soap-related & have learned that Ai slop created to look like screenshots or scenes from our soaps are starting to encroach search results. NOOOOO! Let us have our low-budget hurriedly-thrown-together sloppy-ass shows AS IS.
