July 5, 2007 AMC Isn’t it sweet that Adam wants to reclaim his legacy for his son and his grandson? Hello? How about the other offspring (and grandson)? Not only is it all about the Benjamins, it’s all about the Chandlers with “stones,” as JR likes to call them. I also find it amazing that the FBI can’t crack JR, but one conversation with Tad the Master Detective, and he blabs all. Has the Florida Department of Citrus been joined in its “promotional consideration” by the Muffin Man? First Greenlee eats one, and then Kendall shows up at Ryan’s with a sack of them just as JR tucked into a muffin with a birthday candle on top. Up next: Grey’s Anatomy’s Dr. Izzie, baking up a storm again? It’s officially summer: the Mean Girls are back! Now where’s Sydney? Lost in the Chandler tunnels or cleaning skis in the Martin attic? Thanks, Aidan, for walking around in your skivvies. Could you wear them any lower? Please? Adam made an excellent pop culture reference when he told JR he had nightmares of getting his severed ear from the kidnappers. That, of course, actually did happen to the grandson of billionaire Jean Paul Getty, some 30-odd years ago. Nice touch. Ava wants to be a Fusion model. Greenlee and Kendall shot her down, dreaming of Lily as the better representation. Ava’s point about Lily not being able to handle the lights and noise of a photo shoot was a good one, but I think I see where this is going. The next Fusion campaign, “Day into Night” will feature Lily as Day and Ava as Night. When the Fusion gals started cleaning their space, I half expected a naked Zarf or Zoë to show up. That would have been preferable to what actually did happen: allowing us to hear their interior monologues. It would have been fun if Greenlee thought, “Die, Annie, Die,” instead of the endless whining about Ryan. Was this entire episode devoted to fusion at Fusion left over from the McTravesty days? When Greenlee said, “I’m gonna hurl. Seriously,” I was right there with her. However, when she said that as a child, she had wished for a sister, my ears perked up. Will it happen? My “incredible dream?” Will Annie turn out to be Greenlee’s sister? GH Amelia should be pleased with the big drinking problem Sam appears to be acquiring. Perhaps a live intervention on national television for humiliation’s sake? As Jerry and Carly were reminiscing about the hostage crisis, it occurred to me that we were never really told about Father Mateo Ruiz’ fate. Did he die from his wounds? Maureen told Jason that Sam saw her take Jake. Maybe Sam will claim she had a spiked smoothie and didn’t notice. Oh, look, a new young doctor on staff. He’s headed for the night shift, dontcha know? Noah, it seems, bears an uncanny resemblance to a rock star named Eli Love. How come no one’s noticed that until now? Carly’s analysis of Jerry was pretty spot-on. Considering her shady past, I suppose it truly takes one to know one. Jason’s looking mighty fine without all that hair product. I guess Steve “Jason” Burton’s wife, Sheree, may be getting her wish. He’s always said she preferred his old “lion’s mane” to the brush cut. (He also looked mighty fine in that wifebeater he stole from Sonny’s bureau. Yum.) Lucky the ingrate had Jason arrested for violating the terms of his bail because he won’t identify Jake’s kidnapper. I really, really hope the truth about Jake’s paternity comes out in a most embarrassing fashion. I’m starting to like this Noah/Eli Love story. Whatever gets Rick “Noah” Springfield performing on the show is okay in my book. Brook Lynn was the last singer to reside in Port Charles. It’s been awhile since the days of Frisco, Connor Olivera, Dusty Walker and Terry Brock! Remember them, kiddies? And let’s not forget Eddie Maine and Miguel Morez! You have my permission to strike Miguel’s son, Juan, from your minds. Forever. Why is Epiphany so hot for working musicians? Was she a groupie? Did that incident when she was 14 involve Eli Love fathering Stanford? Woo-hoo! Jason’s asking Sonny to take care of anything Liz or Jake might need while he’s in Pentonville. No mention of Sam. He asked Carly to look after Spinelli. Again, no mention of Sam. Hmmm. So it’s Ned who provides Dillon with his exit from the Chuckles. A job as an assistant to a renowned film director. Tracy’s against it, but this is a fight she will lose. Student nurse Jolene has been joined by two new young nubiles. Epiphany has assigned them to work Saturday’s night shift. SOAPnet, here we come! Mark it: Thursday, July 12. It’s nice to have Kiko “Stan” Ellsworth back again, but he’s still missing those cute little dreads. Get him over to hairstyling, STAT! |
