Regan Checking In & Some General Hospital Scoop Too!
Hey DC’ers! I’ve missed you all but I’ve also missed a ton of Daytime TV and have been playing catch up all weekend. Since I have a head start on a lot of the General Hospital storylines, I’ve been focusing on catching up with the peeps in Llanview and I am not disappointed! One Life to Live is on fire and I’m loving every minute of it.
The JaSam fans got their wish, that episode got the delete off my DVR. I’m happy for their fans as you all know I love you despite your pairing affiliation but I’m still recovering and I was afraid that episode would set me back. Just kidding! Even with my advanced knowledge of most of what’s happening in Port Chuckles, I still may have missed something so when I start dishing a little, I may cover some things that have already hit the screen.
First, let’s talk Emmys. I got to hang with the DC gang last night and record the Emmy podcast. It was a great time and a fitting podcast to make my return! I love my GH but that golden lady for writing was in the wrong hands. I also would have preferred the other blonde one standing up there with a win for younger actress. If you were on Twitter with us last night you saw my sigh of relief when Tony Geary did not win and I was over the moon with Susan Haskell’s trip to the stage to pick up her Emmy! Overall the telecast was a little weak, way too rushed and didn’t show any respect to Guiding Light or The Bold and the Beautiful. Both shows deserved their moment and both were victims of the cut off. I know that Friends re-run was way more important than B&B being allowed to utter a simple “thank you.” I can’t end my little Emmy opinion recap without mentioning The View. None of them could attend? I get that after being locked out year after year you get a tad bit discouraged but one of the ladies should have been in attendance. Tacky ladies, tacky.
Jamey called in with a little scoop from the red carpet. Bradford Anderson dished that the Spixie wedding had been filmed. Will they make it to man and wife or will Maxie’s cold feet and anxieties get in the way? Speaking of Jamey, how great was he? I always said he’d be famous someday. Two years ago I stood on the Emmy red carpet and from a fan’s perspective it was pretty cool. I can only imagine how giddy Giddens was interviewing the stars! I gotta give some props to Melodie and Jillian who blogged their hearts out last night. You two were great!
Shall we Scoop a bit? First, it looks like the Emmy telecast did alright in the ratings department for The CW. Will it have a new home on The CW or will ABC take their turn in the rotation? Word is the will! In my opinion, ABC produces the best Daytime Emmys out of the bunch. Kudos to ABC for the well placed and well targeted carnival promo for General Hospital. They definitely catered to The CW audience but where was the love for All My Children and One Life to Live? One step forward, two steps back.
Let’s get back to the issue at hand… General Hospital SPOILERS! The carnival kicks off this week and as with every GH stunt, yes I am completely ready to be back on the Port Charles train with my eyes glued to the TV. Apparently even after a couple months off, I’m still a sucker. Eddie Q is drugged and running his car right through the carnival. Who will be hurt, who will die and who is behind it all? Andrea Floyd is the one drugging the Quartermaine patriarch after PC’s first lady learns that Edward saw her leaving the MetroCourt the day Brianna Hughes died. Who is Claudia staring at on that stretcher? Is Sonny hurt trying to protect Kristina? Did Sonny finally interact with his daughter? Remember, I’ve been on a hiatus.
Jake is hurt! It looks like Jason and Elizabeth’s son will be ok but will it bring Lucky and Liz closer? Will Jason see Elizabeth in a lip lock with Nikolas when he goes to check on his son? Are we finally getting that brother vs. brother storyline?
He looks like a carny, might as well play one on TV. Ethan works a booth at the carnival. Rebecca and Nikolas go together but what game is the Cassadine Prince playing?
RANDOM RUMORS… Will Olivia have to tell the truth about Dante when a classic soap twist hits? Is someone lurking at the carnival? Matt misses the carnival. Who will be The Jackal’s best man? That shouldn’t even be a question! Is Alexis fingered as the one who drugged Edward?
It's great to be back! I'll be dipping my toes in this week and hopefully I'll be diving in next week.

Can't wait for the spixie wedding!!! I really hope they say I do.
ETA: I REALLY hope they don't go too much further with this Nick and Liz pairing. It's just gross. Something about it is way off for me. And I don't think TC is sexy AT ALL!

It is great to have you back
I am also with you on that Anthony Geary didn't win he didn't deserve that ..
GH best writing ???? don't know the Michael shooting was a great story but did the all year deserve this award ?? don't know ??
I have to say that I think that GH is really good at this moment and I am looking forward to this story , by the promo it looks amazing.....
Spixie wedding - Jason is the best man so it is not a real mystery .! I do wonder if they do the all thing.. I have a feeling that no ...............

i'm so excited to see the possibility of an umbrella story on this show. i am so hoping that they don't mess it up.

Regan so good to have you back...
There are a ton of rumors floating around out there. Can you tell us which are true and which are false
Is CrAZy behind the carnage?
Hotshots Soapnet promo says LikNiz "has the sex" rumors say while Jake is in the hospital??
Lucky proposes??
Jason mad at Eliesalot because she loses Jake at the carnival.
Carly delivers?
Jason and Sam climb the outside of the ferris wheel to save lives?
GH LOVER I heard Spin, in typical Spin fashion, chooses 3 best men. Dont know if thats true or if they are just wedding party.

They submitted Michael's shooting for best writing. Was it a good storyline, yes. IMO, writing submissions should cover a couple storylines to gage more of what truly hits our screens.

I've seen EET's list out there, not sure what is 100% and what is exxaggerated.
Spin MAY ask Patrick (huh), Coleman (HUH) and Jason to be his best men. In the end it SHOULD be just Jason standing up there.
There are RUMBLINGS that ZaCrazy has some unfinished business.
I heard that contractions MAY be starting.
I'm sure Jason and Sam go into hero mode.
Not sure about Jason yelling at Elizabeth.
As for NIZ.... RUMORS have them hitting the sheets anywhere from mid - September to early October.
As for "losing" Jake at the carnival, my nephew was lost at a huge waterpark. It happens, its scary as hell, but it does happen.

I was surprised that GH was the only soap that ran a comercial during the emmys, smart on their promotion department. I am so looking forward to it. Sonny is out of a suit, ya.

"As for "losing" Jake at the carnival, my nephew was lost at a huge waterpark. It happens, its scary as hell, but it does happen."
I lost my nepher in a KMart once. It turned out he was only five feet away playing hide and seek but it was scary as all get out.
As for Liz losing Jake, it seems like Jake is the go to guy for the angst. It used to be Michael.

It appears that the ratings were the lowest for the Emmys but not bad for The CW. 2.68 mil in total viewers.

Regan, great to have you back, and I hope all is well.
I am looking forward to the carnival if just for the cast interactions.
Wow oh Wow on GH winning best writing, I mean the one constant from all of us fans was that the writing sux, and they win for shooting a child. Watch out Jake your next few years are going to be filled with child endangerment

i'm guessing if jason has an issue with liz it's either 1) because he saw her making nik her priority or 2) peeved that he's given up custody because liz promised she's provide a better, safer life.
if it's 1 and 2 or just 1, then he has a right to be mad whether he's with sam or not.
however, if it's not 1, then he has no grounds - being a parent or in charge of someone else has no guarantees and scary stuff happens.

Welcome back Regan. Glad you are feeling better. I have soooo missed your input on what's upcoming on GH.

I may be a little bitter or jaded (for personal reasons) however IMO, when you decide to not be a parent to your child, for whatever the reason may be or circumstances, you have no right to criticize.

Great to see you back Regan!
"I may be a little bitter or jaded (for personal reasons) however IMO, when you decide to not be a parent to your child, for whatever the reason may be or circumstances, you have no right to criticize."
I ditto this completely.
I am really enjoying GH right now. I love Jolivia and the Dante storyline. Lulu has been very tolerable and I can even deal w/Jason and Sam. I am still in denial though. LOL!
Spixie - I can do without.

Jason has been the primary care giver for all of Sonny's children and look how many situations they have been in where they were missing and/or kidnapped. He really has no reason to criticize Liz.

Well come back R.
I am jaded and bitter with you because i agree, when you decide to walk away you don't get to be pissed or yell. Jason already knows crap can happen not just his dangerous life. Remember the fire! He said just as much by her bedside then, and he still walked away so oh well...

fair enough about jason. but i think since liz, from the get-go has pretty much touted herself as the better parenting choice - to the point where she originally planned to lie about paternity - jason might be a smidgen annoyed with her.

Alexis can't find Molly in the same promo that shows Liz looking for Jake. Kids run off on the very best parent. Are we looking for reasons to trash Liz?

I don't really make a habit of defending Jason but Elizabeth did ask him not to claim his son....Jason didn't just decide to abandon his son like some deadbeat dad...I do agree that he doesn't get to criticize though....
