Media Ho (noun): A person who retains far too much information about people/places/things having to do with the media world, including (but not limited to) television, movies, music, pop culture, and the movers/shakers/performers in those worlds. Constantly frustrated by friends’ refusal to play any one of the versions of Trivial Pursuit with her. Result: this column, which will deal mostly with the rumors currently out there about ABC Dayti

AMC 


It’s official. Greenlee has lost her mind. How else to explain her request to Kendall to testify against Zach? Quick, make up the other cot in Janet’s room! 

OMG! JR mentioned Skye! “Skye went and got a whole new family.” Will he next remember that Adam has another grandson courtesy of Hayley and Mateo? Will he then suggest Adam relocate to California so he has one grandson left to devour? 

The Carey’s wishes are so simple. One day, won’t Babe’s son be proud to see his momma in her cap and gown, receiving her high school diploma? What’s wrong with this picture? 

Speaking of people losing their minds, didn’t you think Annie’s reaction to the news that Zach had caused the blackout a bit…extreme? 

Greenlee’s next revenge plot? I bet she’ll try to stick it to Kendall by letting Josh stick it to her. 

It’s always nice to see the Frye siblings, no matter the reason. At least it makes Greenlee’s ridiculous charges against Zach bearable, along with the re-shot flashbacks with NuGreens. 

Looking back, it is kind of incredible that Zach would black out an entire city just to render Greenlee’s frozen eggs unusable. Drastic measures, indeed. 

Oh, look. Pine Valley has a teenaged computer geek. If he starts talking like a surfer dude, I will go to the AMC set and bitch-slap everyone responsible. Uh-oh – he just said, “Awesome, dude.” And away I go! 

Jon-Boy’s FauxHawk is morphing into a James Dean-like pompadour. Great look…NOT! 

What brilliant mind decided to give Julia a pregnancy story just as she’s about to push out her own bambino in real life? Timing, timing, timing. 

Greenlee wants to punish Zach in the worst way, as she blames him for everything she’s lost. He’s offered her anything. Okay, Zach. Bring Leo back from the dead. It’s not as if you’re not experienced in that area. Remember, Leo’s body was never found (rumor has him washed up in Vegas). This is something I could get behind. 

Will JR name his company Martin Enterprises now? 

Glasses not only make Jamie look smarter, they also make him look like Sam “ex-Trey” Page. (Page, incidentally, is leaving the prime time series Shark. Might they be releasing Trey from jail soon?) 

Leven “Lily/Ava” Rambin is doing a great job with her dual role. It must be fun for Rambin to play such a polar opposite from Lily, and it shows. This young actress is blessed with incredible talent and I look forward to following her career. 

DONALD STEELE SIGHTING! 

Well, okay, not exactly. I was watching a favorite movie, 1979’s “The Rose” (Bette Midler’s first starring role in a film, for which she was Oscar nominated). When the credits rolled, there was Chip Zien as “Reporter.” He was in one of the early post-concert scenes, where The Rose is holding a press conference in manager Rudge’s office. I went back, and sure enough, there he was, some 28 years ago. The last I heard, he was making Broadway audiences howl in “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” which has since closed. I’d love to see him back on the show, getting in Erica’s face as only he can! 


GH 


Was that a puddle of urine under Ric’s feet when Jason was led into the PCPD in handcuffs? Something was sure going on in his pants! 

LINE OF THE WEEK: “The Incestuous One has captured your heart, hasn’t he?” Poor Spinelli. His heart’s breaking over Lulu. Fortunately, she hasn’t chosen Dillon or Milo, either. Unfortunately, she’s given up on love. 

Kate is starting to grow on me. The scene where she slapped the police officer was rather funny, as were the subsequent ones spent in a very different type of bracelets than what she’s used to. She also plays well against Ric. Another woman for the brothers to share? 

LINE OF THE WEEK 2: “You aren’t fit to sniff Stone Cold’s shoes, let alone fill them.” Spinelli to Logan, after Logan surmised that Jason’s unfortunate incarceration might make him next in line for Sonny’s go-to guy. As if! That guy is a tad ambitious, no? Or does he have other reasons for wanting to get close to Sonny? 

LINE OF THE WEEK 3: “I watched you take the man who gave us our son out in handcuffs.” Oh, Elizabeth, you’re just full of double-speak! Maybe one day Lucky will understand what you meant. One day. 

Jax announced that this was the last time he was bailing out Jerry just as Russian mobsters showed up at the Metro Court. Jax may be eating those words soon, especially since Jerry shot those mobsters, then jumped out of his hotel room window. We’ll be seeing him again. No doubt about it. 

Logan and Maxie’s plot for him to seduce Lulu and then get to sleep with Maxie as a reward is eerily reminiscent of Lucy Coe’s bet with Damian Smith, except that Bobbie was the conquest the. 

Carly astutely pointed out to Ric that if there’s no body, there’s no crime. He thinks he has something better than a body. Could a tape – something that could be created very easily – possibly be stronger proof of murder when there’s no body? In the real world, I doubt it, so I guess Ric may have a case after all. 

Spinelli was, as usual, adorable during the scrap between Logan and Milo over Lulu. Rolling up his t-shirt sleeves in preparation for a rumble? Priceless! 

The judge actually appointed Scotty Laura’s legal guardian. I still cannot comprehend how this ludicrous decision was made…unless money changed hands or blackmail was threatened. Those are always distinct possibilities when Scotty’s involved. 

BRADFORD TAKES MANHATTAN!

Last weekend, Bradford “Spinelli” Anderson held his first-ever fan event in New York City, and, as promised last column, I was there to cover it. Oh, yes, and I also had a lovely interview with Bradford. Coverage of the event plus the interview will be coming soon…watch for it! Many thanks to Debby O’Connor for making it happen!
