December 20th AMC Chromosomal mutation, not Greenlee, was responsible for Spike’s hearing loss. Erica didn’t want to believe Dr. Joe (I was waiting for her to shake her finger at him and yell, “No, no, no!”). Kendall now feels like an amoeba on a flea on a rat for hating her former best friend/business partner/step-sister. Especially since it was her revenge plot that backfired and may have cost Zach his life. Although she is still trying to perpetuate the hate towards Greenlee, Erica did decide to use Dr. Joe’s news to score points with Jackson. Yet another strong Kane woman plot gone awry! (Proving her desperation to win those points with Jackson, Erica also declared she’d eat all 13 cookies that Lily gave her. What’s next, a rack of ribs from the Comeback?) Adam has an entire staff of servants running his mansion (though we only see Winifred, and that’s pretty rare), and that birth certificate was lying under the couch for months? If Adam weren’t so pleased with the leverage it gives him over Tad, there would be pink slips all over the estate! Kendall’s news about Greenlee’s non-culpability in Spike’s deafness may cause her to score with Aiden in a way she couldn’t have imagined. Scary thought: any condoms in that shack? As Zach was rambling on about how his father and brother couldn’t fight the madness that consumed them, my first thought was wouldn’t Janet, Richie and Big Daddy Cambias be amusing as the Three Mad Stooges? Oh, wait, Big Daddy can’t move. His mere presence might bring some added menace, though. This appeared to be a first: did Tad kiss Ryan hello at the children’s party? I heard a distinct smackeroo! Five mil and a phat yacht suit Amanda nicely. Let’s hope she doesn’t blow it all. Julia and Tad have been really good pals lately. How will Adam’s eventual bombshell affect this? Oh, don’t you love Opal’s outrageous outfits? I’ve never seen an elf with so many feathers! BTW, I was so happy when AMC identified a song it was using, “Apologies,” on screen. The first few times. Then the song became tedious. Worse yet, I accidentally caught a moment of ABC’s Men In Trees, and the same damn song was being used! Budget crunch? FAVORITES RETURN! Santa came early with news that Rebecca Budig, the original Greenlee, will reclaim that role mid-January. If that wasn’t enough, Debbi Morgan and Darnell Williams (ex-Angie and Jesse Hubbard) are also slated to return. That one might be tricky, as Jesse died in a shootout and has subsequently appeared as an angel, but I’m looking forward to it. Kudos to AMC for getting these wonderful actors back on the show! As an aside, I’m hearing from a variety of sources that Sabine Singh (soon-to-be ex-Greenlee) was treated in a less than pleasant manner when told that she was being replaced. To her everlasting credit, she completed her remaining scenes like the professional she is. I wish her the very best. GH In future, will Sonny reserve his table in the Metro Court’s “No Sniping” section? Seeing Georgie’s crumpled body lying on the park stairs like so much litter saddened me beyond words. (Does anyone else remember that there used to be sort of a moratorium on gloom and doom on soaps come the year-end holidays?) Having Spinelli find her was another hard kick to the gut. I sobbed right along with Bradford “Spinelli” Anderson, and then with John J. “Mac” York. Very telling that Mac’s instincts were to inform Maxie and Robin, not Felicia, Georgie’s absentee mother. I hear she will not be treated warmly when she actually does show up for her child’s funeral. I’m sure we can thank Bob “Kill A Kid For Christmas” Guza for this special prelude to the holiday. We can thank the genuinely fine troupe of GH actors for turning in such wrenching performances, due to their innate talent rather than the words on their scripts. Even Kirsten “Maxie” Storms’ reaction to Georgie’s death moved me, and I normally have no use for Maxie. (Trust me, if one of the gurrrls had to be murdered, I wouldn’t have chosen Georgie the Good.) Who’s the new dark-haired busboy at Kelly’s and why does he seem familiar to Carly? Mike identified him as Daniel, who had formerly worked for a high-class catering company and was looking for a less stressful gig. Might he have worked at the Black and White Ball? Has Coop gotten a reprieve? All clues have pointed at Coop, but now they’re coming fast and furious from Daniel’s direction. His annoyance when Sam refused to sign an autograph, her subsequent text that “she’s next,” the little rope tied around Mike’s hula girl figurine. Interesting. Lulu, if Sonny’s home security is so tight, how did you and Johnny get on the property? (Frankly, Casa Corinthos has always seemed ridiculously vulnerable to me.) Another box of Kleenex for me as Mac told Robin about Georgie. Will York’s performance in this story earn him more screen time? We can hope. Loyal Letitia, Noble Emily, and now Wise Georgie…is Sweet Sam next on the list? I hope Spinelli doesn’t lose any more of his friends. His candle lighting ceremony on the park stairs was tender and heartfelt. Speaking of Sweet Sam, she mentioned to Lucky that her father was a grifter. Well, let’s be a little more clear about that, sweetie, it was the man you believed to be your father. I don’t believe we actually know who impregnated Alexis. Will this story ever be picked up again? “She was kind and she was amazing and she was forgiving.” I think Lulu described Georgie perfectly. ON THAT NOTE, I WISH YOU ALL A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! HO, HO, HO, INDEED!
