If it's Tuesday, it must be HughsDay!
Lame joke in the title. I know. But it makes me smile.
'Cause I'm twelve.
Not much in the House/GH realm today except to mention that Lisa de Moraes, the Washington Post TV Column writer, acknowledged House's success this week with a much cuter title than mine. To wit: "Not a Creature Was Stirring, Except to Watch 'House'."
What does that have to do with GH, you might ask?
Positively nothing.*
But it's nice to see because de Moraes is a tough person to impress. She can also snark with the best of them. So, to see her bother to create such a cute, seasonal headline means she bothered to take the time. That's gratifying.
Okay, on to GH yesterday. Some major plots moved forward and there was some terrific acting but not much else.
Manny Ruiz underwent brain surgery and Dr. Buttmunch kept muttering something about the "aggression" part of Manny's brain is what was being squeezed like a ripe plum, "No wonder this guy is such a freak!"
Nice CPD writers. I always like a little science fiction thrown in for extra flavour.
Eventually Manny comes out of his surgery and regains consciousness long enough to say, "I'm sorry for everything....."
Thud.
(God, he's such a great villain, I hope he's faking.)

Reek is back and he and Alexis have some hilariously comical moments as Alexis tries to tell Reek that their two daughters shouldn't be hanging around with Sonny's kids. Too many goons hovering by the windows and doors, too over-indulged and too many shoot-'em-up video games. Reek thinks she's over reacting until Kristina pretends to shoot her sister, Molly, in her stroller.
Oops.
(This "can't be around Sonny" business is problematic. First and foremost, he's Kristina's father. Which makes Michael and Morgan her brothers. Second, he's Reek's brother and, therefore, Molly's uncle. You can't just cut someone off like that.)
==========
Oh for God's sake. "Um"ily is suddenly worming her way back into GreySkull.
She walked out, like, yesterday......all offended and acting like she'd been summarily kicked out.
She hadn't, really. Sonny had simply told her that she needed to get a freakin' life and told her they had enough help for the Holidays. Which they do. It's she who packed in 5 seconds and dragged herself out through the front door....complete with cheesy lingering looks back at Sonny who ~just happened to be standing under mistletoe.~
GAG ME.
But, like a bad penny, she's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack.
GAH.
(Somewhere along in here she told Jason she is falling for Sonny and she and Carly had some sort of convo in the elevator but I'm having a really hard time looking up from my Sudoku during these scenes so I'm not sure.)
============
The Teenybots' storyline is almost wrapped up. Diego is off to Pentonville. Dillon is in the hospital nursing a bullet wound to the shoulder, care of the BrainPained Manny Ruiz. Dillon and Georgie have the "Diego is a freak; No he's not!" discussion # Eleventy Million. But, that's okay because I enjoy watching soap couples snipe at each other but still stay together in love. Just like real life.
Um, anyway, I also enjoy seeing Clifton and Leatherman work together. They are great. (But, hey, Lindze? You can resume eating, now. You are a natural looker. Don't get too skinny, child. You'll make the baby Jesus cry.)
==============
Lastly, the Jax/Courtney/Nikolas plotline has gotten so utterly revolting that I can't wait for Courtney's last shooting day, December 23. Hopefully that's not a rumour and there is no recast.
Please get rid of this horrible character?
Come on. It's the Holidays! Just a little giftie? I'm not asking much, really.
==============
*NB: How can "nothing" be positive, you well may ask? It can't. I just liked the way "positively nothing" rolled off the keyboard.

I wonder of Manny is the anti-Jason? A good way to keep the charcter around without doing the 'twin' thing.
That's an interesting idea.
It doesn't hurt that the actor playing Manny (Robert LaSardo) is one scary lookin' mofo.
Well, Jason went from the sweetest boy around to mob enforcer due to a brain injury. Now we have Manny, who may have gone to evil bastard to normal guy due to fixing a brain defect. I think it certainly has potential. Or, he's faking! both avenues are full of potential good stuff.
You know, Ive always been proud of the GH PTBs that they never took the easy way out with Jason in having him make a miraculous recovery, turning him back into the man he was. I'm sure they've been tempted :)
