June 28, 2007 AMC Green tea and ylang-ylang are the top notes in the new Fusion Green fragrance, to be used in all products, and cooked up by Kendall and Greenlee. Just like the old days! The friendship seemed as strong as ever as they bopped around the kitchen, working together as before. Will it last? I hope so. Now that she’s now continually shrieking or threatening, Sabine Singh’s NuGreenlee is growing on me (except for her ridiculous obsession with Ryan). On Zach…not so much. Another less savory reunion: Adam and JR. When it comes down to it, it’s all about the Benjamins for the Chandler men. JR was almost likeable in his devotion to Colby, Babe, KWAK, and Jenny, even considering changing his name to Martin. Well, that Kool-Aid wore off in a flash! With all the miracle births in Pine Valley (Erica’s aborted fetus transplanted into Mrs. Madden’s womb, Ryan’s little swimmers backstroking over to Annie, Dixie and Tad’s child masquerading as little Kathy), is it really asking too much to have Annie be the product of another go-round between Mary Smythe and Jackson Montgomery? Come on! Make Greenlee and Annie sisters. It’s not the biggest leap of faith we’ve been asked to take, and it would truly revitalize the show on many fronts. Bringing Mary Smythe back to Pine Valley would provide giggles and catfights galore! Where is Jeff Martin? Off playing hide-the-salami with Barbara Montgomery, perhaps? Isn’t Jackson a tad suspicious that Josh is apparently back on staff at Pine Valley Hospital, tending to his mommy? LINE OF THE WEEK: “Wake up on the wrong side of the kennel, Kendall?” JR, you card! Erica’s Camille act was enough to make me check into the hospital with extreme nausea. Jack sure looked like he’d thrown up in his mouth. Erica may be playing him for a fool, but he’s too smart for that. GH Spinelli’s voice of reason actually convinced Stone Cold to stay put and not force The Jackal to break him out of jail. The trust between the two of them is remarkable, considering the relatively short duration of their relationship. Steve “Jason” Burton has been quoted calling Spinelli Jason’s “Gilligan.” I’ll go along with that as far as Spinelli’s role as “Lil’ Buddy,” but that’s about all. Gilligan was an idiot blessed with occasional dumb luck. Spinelli is a loyal, righteous dude with unparalleled computer skills. No comparison. Now that Sam’s got an idea of Amelia’s duplicity, she plans on confessing all to Jason. What will she do to Amelia, especially now that Amelia has told Alexis about her con-woman past? I really like Alexis in Momma Bear mode, protecting her cub. It’s been way too long. How precious: Sonny doesn’t do business with South Africa. Does he participate in the program that ensures fair wages for coffee bean pickers? Support Greenpeace? Use only dolphin-free tuna in his sandwiches? What a sensitive guy! EOS’ own gossip maven, Carolyn, reports that Natalia “Emily” Livingston’s contract negotiations have broken down. Does that mean that Emily will soon be serving time at Gitmo, courtesy of Jerry Jacks? Unreal. Sam spilled all to Jason about her man scam and the horror that was her experience with Bill Monroe, and all he can say is, “I’m sorry you had to go through that.” The master of understatement! Tracy’s still at the funny farm yet manages to look fabulous. You go, girl! Adrienne (ex-Brook Lynn; ex-Colleen, Y&R) Leon was unceremoniously dumped by Y&R just prior to the Daytime Emmys. Wally (semi-ex-Ned) Kurth is supposed to be back in Port Charles this summer. I think his daughter, Brook Lynn, needs to visit Daddy. (Maybe she met a Falconeri or two while back in Bensonhurst and sees a resemblance between that family and the new editor in town, stirring up trouble for Kate Howard.) After all, Port Charles can never have enough Scoobies in the summer. Besides, Leon should never have been allowed to leave in the first place. Is Alexis supposed to understand why Sam fleeced guys out of their money because it was all to support her brother, Danny? She certainly seemed moved by the whole sordid story. I, on the other hand, was thrilled when Sam finally confronted Amelia, telling the backstabbing bitch that it was risky to underestimate her. Welcome back, non-teary Sam! You’ve been missed! LINE OF THE WEEK: “What’s that, Alan? You say Scott Baldwin is a skeevy waste of hair product and skin?” Tracy does get some of the best zingers, probably because Jane “Tracy” Elliot zings with such sting. Now that the truth is out between Sam and Amelia, how long will it take for the cancellation of “Everyday Heroes?” How long will it take for Amelia to start referring to Sam as her “stepmonster?” A dear friend of mine (an adjunct professor at a major university, in fact) theorized that Ric kidnapped Jake as leverage to ensure that Jason stays in jail. I liked the idea, but as all signs are pointing to “Everyday Heroes” guest Maureen as the kidnapper (to replace the baby she failed to save), it looks like that’s the way the story’s playing out. Especially when she told Amelia that she decided not to appear on the program, over the sounds of a wailing baby in the background. I was still holding out hope for Faith Roscoe. Rats.
