In honor of the end
of Go Red for Women month, I’ve crafted a delicious Fatty French Onion Soup,
not from a can and guaranteed to be full of salt and cheesy goodness! It
makes my arteries sad but my taste buds happy.
Is Aunt Raylene the
same relative who told Nadine that an elbow itch means someone’s going to
die? This all reminds me of a certain math problem growing up…how old is
Jolene if her sister Nadine is half the age of their Aunt Raylene who’s
three times as old as Jolene? And is their mom named Arlene?
I love that Jax is
laying down the law these days with Carly. I think that having his own
child is putting things into perspective in regards to her relationship with
Jason. There are times when we may have to let go of one person to keep
another and I think Jax is pushing Carly to that point. She might be ready
to make the break, too, the more Jason keeps her out of the loop and she
realizes that the mob life has corrupted her oldest son.
Can I just take a
minute to say how much I love that Kin Shriner is with us? It’s been a year
since he came back again and whenever he’s onscreen takes me back to better
years. He sparkles in every scene just as he always did. I’m not in
support of pressing charges against Lulu for defending herself against a man
that was holding her down but I’ve got to appreciate that he wants to
support his son.
If GH is going to
continue bringing up the health insurance crisis, they need to start doing
so in a responsible manner. Having Robin defend Joe Smith’s bomb threats is
ridiculous. Apparently, we are to believe that, as long as no one was hurt,
it doesn’t matter what someone says or does to get what they want.
Defending such a stance just doesn’t sound like Robin to me. But then, I
can often forget that Robin deals in shades of gray. I do find myself
hoping that Sam’s show will do an expose on whatever horrible things happen
at County some day just so we can see it for ourselves. Whatever happened
to Mercy Hospital? Did Jolene run them out of business before heading to
the Night Shift?
Dear Powers that Be,
I would have preferred a heart healthy month focused on the benefits of dark
chocolate rather than soup. Please remember “Special Dark for the Heart!”
next year, please. Thanks, The Gourmez. P.S., your ratings might rise if
you send out free samples.
Jason to Sonny,
“Don’t tell my what my priorities are.” Them’s fighting words! Is it time
for their annual break-up storyline?
I hope PI Jackal
and the Case of the Text Message Killer is but the first in a long line
of Spinelli and Maxie adventures. Perhaps Nadine can be their psychic
friend that they pull in when the trail run dry.
Diego’s one hilarious
villain. I’m beginning to think that switching killers from whomever they
originally planned was a stroke of genius, if only for adding some levity to
the endless repetition of female strangulation. You’ve got to appreciate a
strangler who takes his victims to Hangman’s Bridge--that’s downright
inspired. Plus, the CGI is cheestastic; I’m pretty sure Jason’s going to
have to fight King Koopa before he can get off the bridge. Will he press
“A” and Shoot or “B” Smother him with a leather jacket?
So Patrick knows he’s
going to be a daddy. He’s obviously still in love with Robin—will he come
to terms with impending fatherhood and learn to love it to be with her?
Will Robin accept it if he does, knowing that it wasn’t his first choice of
a lifestyle? I just hope it doesn’t take them the whole nine months to work
it out.
