A GH Shout Out to Steve!
Okay, maybe I'm grasping at straws but I think this was a totally meta shout out to our newest cast member, Steve McQueen*.
GH Today:
Carly looks through the window into Jason's operating theatre.
She sees this skanky, scary dude with lots of tattoos hovering around.
She wonders why he looks aimless. He's in scrubs. Shouldn't he be doing something given that the lights are out during BRAIN SURGERY?!
Being Carly, she races in where angels fear to tread.
It is, in fact, the eeeevil Manny Ruiz in a very wimpy disguise. (See earlier blog post.)
Sonny races in with his gigantic hand cannon waving like a maniac.
Manny whirls around and grabs Carly (not only does he know exactly who she is but she's also the only civilian in the room.) He holds a scalpel to her neck.
"Don't shoot, Corinthos, or she dies!"
"Don't touch her, Manny!" Gun waves. Sonny barks, "Don't you get it?! You're just a caged rat!"
I'M TELLIN' Y'ALL THAT WAS A SHOUT OUT TO STEVE MCQUEEN.
I may be shouting now but there is no doubt that Best Friend heard me scream three miles away at 3pm-ish this afternoon.
ANYway, that made my day.
Seriously.
=========
The rest of the episode was okay.
Luke has something over on Jax and has blackmailed him into giving Carly half ownership in the MetroCourt Hotel. There is some deal going on between Luke and Carly and it really doesn't matter to have it too pinned down plotwise because they are just ultimately going to betray each other. That's what Spencers do.
Luke's "wife" Tracy (Jane Elliott) had Luke's pilfering daughter, LuLu, arrested. She's 17. She shouldn't worry.
The record will be expunged unless she ever works for someone like Greg House who doesn't care about the police records and just sneaks around asking old gym teachers about her past.
Even then, who ~hasn't~ embezzled $15,000 from a stepmother's bank account?
Perspective, people.
LOL
Courtney, she whom the tree o' death couldn't kill, is fading fast at GreySkull when The World's Worst Medical Student, "Um"ily emerges from her living coma from the sight of blood and decides that MAYBE they need to get an ambulance and take the pregnant woman to the freakin' hospital.
GOD.
Jax is already there because, knowing what Luke has on him, he wants to talk to the Most Incompetant and Evil Doctor Meadows, the OB/GYN.
Gee, wink wink nudge nudge, what could Jax want to hide?
Another WTD plotline?! ("Who's the Daddy?") Could he have switched the DNA results? Could someone ELSE be Courtney's cuddly little teaspoon of jelly's papa?
You decide.
Courtnoid is, in fact, okay but it's important for some reason that the Evil Dr. Meadows get in a wicked slam at the nurse who took care of her for not putting her directly on IV fluids. Correct or not, she's a bitch.
I guess she's getting paid by the lines and, well, it is the holiday season. People run up expenses. 'Cause otherwise? The line was just meaningless bitchiness.
========
Jason is out of surgery and finally wakes up to see Sam. He's pleased. So is Sam. The Littlest Doctor Robin watches from the door all wistful and thinking, "I'm SO still in love with him."
Gotta love the soaps.
========
In a nice nod to history, Nurse Bobbie Spencer has a little convo with Dr. Noah Drake in the lounge. Awwwwwww.
========
I think that's it.
Now I must go bask in the glow of the extra-stretch meta-shout-out to our own little Steve McQueen and House.
Why, I do believe a glass of champagne is in order!
Or maybe just a coumadin wrapped in cheddar cheese.
=========
*(For those playing the home game, Steve McQueen is the name House gave to a rat he not only caught in Stacy's attic but diagnosed and is in the process of curing. Apparently the little guy has a tumour. During his convalescence, he's living in a cage in House's living room.)
