Previews for the week of 28-May-2012
by Carol Banks Weber


**No new programming on Monday, Memorial Day. But enjoy a rerun from April 18, 2012, where it’s all about Jason and Sam, and Franco (the big secret comes out).

Jason leans on Elizabeth some more.
Jason lets his fury loose, because of a belief that this new enemy deserves it.
Jason and Sonny sic goons on OLTL’s John McBain.

Sam responds sadly to Jason hanging around Elizabeth yet again.
Sam clutches her belly as contractions take over and the lightning flashes, without Jason anywhere in sight. This is real, folks.

Heather driving is bad news—for Téa. The psycho bangs into Téa’s car, sparking labor.
Contractions also overtake Téa, utterly alone.
Todd happens by just as Téa is wrangling over having her baby out here in the middle of nowhere. You do the math.
Todd insists on helping Téa with childbirth, while she shrieks at him to go to hell. They go back and forth before nature takes its course, forcing her to trust him.
Téa’s labor hits a major, terrifying snag, despite Todd’s best efforts at delivery. She’s blacked out, dude.

Jason snaps out of his self-indulgent funk after Carly gets a hold of him. But his timing stinks.

Dante and Delores do their jobs as cops, getting a search warrant first before ransacking Johnny’s penthouse. They’ll be over at Luke’s place next.
Johnny indulges fully in his bad boy. Watch out.
Johnny means to make it look like Luke and Tracy did Anthony in.

Kristina’s back and you’re gonna be sorry.
Kristina means to watch out for Michael, whether he appreciates it or not. She eyes Starr as utterly inappropriate for him.
Kristina blows Alexis and Sonny’s minds by introducing them to her new reality TV show, Mob Princess.

Matt tells Patrick and Elizabeth that he’s afraid he killed Lisa after all.
Maxie refuses to be a good girl and play ball when it counts for her in court (the State vs. Dr. Matt).
Maxie destroys Spinelli with her latest actions, and leaves other loved ones shattered in her wake.

Luke and Tracy go hunting for Anthony’s corpse.
Then, Luke and Tracy will find themselves in a pickle.
A flabbergasted Lulu hassles Luke about what’s going on, the truth this time.
Luke starts spilling his guts to Lulu, as Dante closes in.

Anna chooses a specific path, by not choosing a specific position given her.
Who’s Heather new BFF? Ew, how weird.

Next week: Sonny thinks he is going to see Kate, but Connie greets him instead… Carly gives Jason a dose of reality… Jason figures out that he would rather be with Sam and the baby than without… Jason begs for absolution… Sam experiences clarity and insight… Jason desires to do away with John McBain… Sonny intervenes, encouraging Jason to dial it down, and ease up on killing McBain… Instead, Sonny and Jason agree to have their goons put a beating on McBain and make it look like they’ll attack McBain’s family next if the cop doesn’t back off… In the storm, Sam experiences contractions… John McBain could’ve helped Sam deliver the baby, but he’s been derailed by Sonny and Jason’s goons… Sam has no one… Sam blacks out, in the middle of a hemorrhage… Heather is the person to see Sam in such a state… Jason takes Sam to GH for immediate care… It hits Jason what he set in motion… Todd and Heather make a deal… Todd takes Téa and her baby to GH for post-delivery care… Todd grapples with what he knows… Todd finally fills in Starr about who really caused that car accident, and it wasn’t Sonny… Starr tells Michael she knows Sonny didn’t kill Hope and Cole, and says she’s sorry for thinking he did… Starr goes to see Kate, to tell her she knows about the car accident, and to say she understands the circumstances. This throws Kate, who expected harsher treatment… Olivia summons Spinelli over to hunt down an MIA Heather… Spinelli lends Olivia a hand finding Heather… Steve goes after Heather himself, despite a storm brewing… Heather successfully hides from Steve… Here we go again, Mac and Felicia, Part 3. They’re feelin’ it. **

Ok, it may just be me but does anyone else find this show very stupid at times? Johnny killing Anthony and Luke and Tracy misplacing the body only to have Heather being the one who is going to bury him? Tea screaming bloody murder at Todd (who is laugh out loud funny) while having a kid in the backseat of a car where only the phones are out but power is still amazingly on! Sam going into full blown labor in 1.5 seconds and the FBI agent can't get her to a hosiptal on time. Oh and the baby looks just like Jason!

And who cast this NuKristina? Don't. Like. Her. At. All.

The NuKristina looks older than Sam. She is supposed to be younger than Michael! She's bad.

This show IS dumb. lol.

This is a baby switch rip off of Babe/Bianca on OLTL and OF COURSE Heather has Anthony's body.

I am mad they had Johnny kill Anthony.

 

[MnMomtoboys]

I hate the baby story. This is beyond stupid.

 

[auntie]

I love the interaction between Luke, Anthony, Tracy, and Heather. I think the whole "weekend with Bernie" thing is pretty funny. They're all good actors and pulled it off. Thought it was entertaining.
As for a baby switch?....OMG...NOOOOOO! Please don't do this to the viewers. Its just ridiculous, andhas been done so many times on so many soaps. There is NOTHING new with it, it's boring and I will be skipping those scenes for sure.

I like seeing Sam stand up for herself a bit more. I didn't like the mope she had become. I mean this wouldn't have happened if it weren't for JASON and this relationship with his nut hut brother. He has a problem with her pregnancy? Get over it. He doesn't know if he can raise Franco's child? Seriously?...His wife is raped and impregnated by his long lost wack job, murderous twin brother and HE has a problem with it? Well, just imagine the problem poor Sam might have with it.
He should be apologizing and supporting her, not shunning her as if she has the plague. Butt head.

Like the scenes with Sonny and Todd. FINALLY..someone to give the coffee mobster sperminator a run for his money. Todd is good. He can be tough and down right mean at times, but he has a comedic edge about him and seems to pull it off. I feel as if Sonny has met his match in Todd. Not like Jax..who ultimately was a good guy. Todd could kill you with a smile on his face and a "whoops, too bad for you" and not look back.

 

[MickeysMommy]

Today's ep = STU. PID.

 

[auntie]

Today's ep = STU. PID.

Did I just see this?... Sam is in a dry hotel room with her baby. She then decides to go outside and start walking around in the woods? WTH? I didn't realize her hotel was in the middle of no where?.
All the lights are on as she walks down the hall. Of course just missing seeing Jason. She didn't run into anyone else while walking through the hotel,(and then winding up in the woods). SERIOUSLY?....I know it's a soap, but this is just utterly STUPID!

 

[mamajoan]

I was with the whole new GH world changes.. until the "it is Port Charles, it is storming.... therefore SoMEone, ANYONE, will have a baby tonight" ( look at gh history.. as soon as there is a terrible storm somebody has a baby)

While it is a soapy twist.. it is an overdone debacle. HOWEVER... a deal between Heather and Todd... truly has 666 written allllll over it

How can anyone not love Todd... when portrayed by Roger Howarth? He is a villian, with a huge heart and soul. You can see it so clearly at times. He history is full of treachery... but this is a deeply damaged human being who has a concious... but just does not know what to do with it.
Also.. he is seriously FUNNY!! Howarth's comedic timing is terrific!

GH.. you done good.. keep Todd.

As for Weekend at Anthony's.... this could only be pulled off by Tracy, Luke, Heather and Anthony. GH has written a farce.... and it is really over the top silly. and should be taken as such.
The scene when Heather pushes a smile onto Anthony's rigamortis set face.. and Bruce Weitz holds that silly grin flawlessly scene after scene... Had even my husband ROTFL!! It is over the top silly... and it is SUPPOSED to be that way!

And God Love Robin Mattson for Heather... having full on conversations with a corpse. ... ah Heather you are one severely mentally ill whack job.
btw.. she is looking so cute in her Paddington Bear outfit of yellow raingear!!

 

[Brit17]

I am not liking the baby switching storyline at all ... Couldn't the writers have come up with something new? ...

However, even though I never watched OLTL, I have to say that I'm really liking "Todd Manning" ... Are the GH writers keeping Todd's character the same as he was portrayed on OLTL? ... I'm actually enjoying all the characters who crossed over from OLTL to GH ... Whomever decided to bring them to GH made a good call ...

I think bringing Heather back to the show was a good idea also ... She is definately a bit off her rocker, but what's a good soap without a little cray cray thrown into the mix? ...

 

[MickeysMommy]

Love Roger Howarth - loved him on ATWT as Paul. I never watched OLTL till about 2 years ago. He really is funny.

The whole switching babies thing...been there, done that. Why oh why are we doing this storyline?

Previews for the week of 04-Jun-2012

**Sam blacks out. Which is when all hell breaks loose.
Jason tries to reconcile with Sam but cannot find her at the motel. He does find John McBain, who explains what he knows.
Jason and a badly beaten John McBain assess the damage left behind in the motel room, where Sam was with a live baby not too long ago. The blood scares them.
As much as they hate each other right now, Jason and McBain team up to locate Sam and the infant. Their search proves fruitful, sort of.
Jason and McBain run into Sam and an infant. Sam’s run-down of events perplexes them, and has them believing she isn’t of her right mind.
Jason takes care of Sam at GH, but is wracked with guilt for his part in this mess and her suffering.
Alexis rushes to Sam’s side, full of motherly concern.
Alexis takes one look at Jason and reads him the riot act.
Jason will never leave Sam’s side again, not after all this.
Sam endures the worst pain imaginable when she comes to.
Sam and Téa meet up again in an excruciating scene of missing info.
Heather extends herself to help Todd with Téa’s lifeless newborn…in a baby-switching incident.
Todd takes Téa to GH, weighed down with what really happened.
Todd pays for his unwillingness to let Téa down again: he dreams about the mushroom cloud that happens when Téa finds everything out.
In dealing with another character full of questions, Todd manages to evade the issue, grab Téa, and hightail it out of there with her. They’re headed back to OLTL’s Llanview.
One hasty decision made in an emotional rush will cost Sam her baby and momentarily give Téa some joy.
If Sam’s tragedy weren’t bad enough, Alexis also must sort through Kristina’s Mob Princess reality show nightmare.

Carly and Johnny talk over their conflicts, with her willing to take him back — but only if he promises never to lie to her again. Uh… I don’t think he’s going to be forthcoming with his brutal patricide.

Starr goes to Kate, armed with information that this is the person (rather, her alter Connie) who says she caused the deaths of Hope and Cole. But instead of reaming the fashion editor out, Starr is kind.
Kate wishes Starr would be more brutal in her approach, and can’t deal well with this compassion.
Starr absolves Kate for an act that she couldn’t help.

The cops let up on Luke and Tracy. No body, no proof, right? But Lulu grapples with what she knows.
Anna may change her mind and take on the police commissioner job, thus possibly providing a roadblock for Luke and Tracy’s getaway.

Maxie and Matt try to enjoy their honeymoon phase, despite the deceitful, cowardly nature of their unholy union.
Matt might prove to be the problem when he begins to recall killing Lisa.
Where’d Matt go? The doctor disappears from sight, upsetting Maxie when she awakens to find him MIA.
Spinelli loses his mind because of recent hurtful events, and drunkenly tears up the town.

Mac and Felicia cannot ignore their mutual attraction, and act upon it.
Anna changes her mind. She accepts the job as the town’s new police commissioner after all.
Anna and Luke, ooh la la.

Heather and her behavior unnerve Olivia, who recruits Spinelli to dig into this mystery further.

Elizabeth is all about Ewen, as he rouses from his coma and surgery.
Elizabeth tries to inspire Ewen to feel better.

Next week: John McBain becomes even more of a thorn in Sonny’s side when the two have a face-off, at the detective’s instigation… Jason has a meaningful encounter with Elizabeth… Lulu bargains with Johnny over something important (Anthony’s murder?)… Kristina attempts to pull the plug on the reality TV filming. **

I am really enjoying the Weekend at Anthony's storyline, even though it is absurd. It's just funny and outlandish. Anthony and Tracy are hilarious together, as are Tracy and Luke. Tracy and Luke are a great match and I'm so glad the writers put them together. Then you add wackadoodle Heather in with them and it's the best part of GH right now!

 

[tinabheart]

Today's ep = STU. PID.

but....OMG, love Todd!

 

[smidgy]

but....OMG, love Todd!

I was ECSTATIC!! whenOLTL brought Roger Horwath back!!! then depressed when OLTL was cancelled.

Todd(Roger) is JUST the "LIFE"rolleyes1) GH needs! he is mean, and lovable, and sneaky, and funny, and sorrowful, and just when you think you might hate him, you can't help but LOVE him!!!

he is his own worst enemy. and one of the best actors I have ever seen.

oh, and Starr" yes, on GH, so far, she hasn'
t been her best. but she and Roger have been "father and daughter " for many years. .. shorty!! ... we have watched this young actress evolve from just a bratty little girl who likes snakes to a wel rounded character.

I am VERY happy with the infusion of these characters into GH, which, IMHO, was the worst of the 3 ABC soaps.

I totally agree! I'm so glad they brought Heather back. The three actors who play Luke, Tracy, and Heather are so gifted. If you had three actors who were not so talented, we might be rolling our eyes, saying "This is so lame!" Instead, they have the talent to make us laugh at the ubsurdity of what they're doing. I'm loving them. Just one question-didn't I remember Luke the other day, grabbing Heather and planting a kiss on her? Did anything further come of that or is that just another of their crazy moments?

Wasn't that just a dream Heather was having? Right after that he was still in jail...

 

[tinabheart]

I so want to love Felicia, and I swear I did 15 years ago - but is it just me or is her acting just awful??

 

[3Leafs]

I agree.. I was just saying the same thing last night. She used to be my fav on the show too!!!

I agree ... Her acting is a bit rusty, IMO ... Hopefully, it will get better soon ... Maybe if they bring Frisco back it will help her ...

Dante’s inferno: the cop faces off with Johnny, trying to put the mobster in his place out of protection for Lulu, digging into this business deal with the Haunted Star.

Tracy plants one on Luke, telling him how much he means to her, then hurries away, leaving the man dumbfounded.
Luke and Anna acknowledge the elephant in the room: their attraction. But they play it off too quickly like it’s not going anywhere. Is that right?
Suddenly, Anna and Luke enjoy a surprising smoochfest. Luke will have his hands full with Tracy and Heather after him.
Luke and Anna go to inform themselves about their less-than-platonic situation. This kiss really threw them.
