Bradford latest MY SPACE entry:

although scheduled as a street performer, BA said he won't be singing at SSW.. (Corrected entry below)

*** With all these killers running around PC at the ball, I'm just glad BA is saying "maybe next year". ;)

"Spinsights" for 10/31/07

A few "Spinsights" for the 10/31 episode.

First, let me say that I know there are those who probably loved it, but I did NOT appreciate the SpinLu "dance" scene yesterday.

I'm over SpinLu...O-V-E-R

It's been coming for me for awhile, and Wednesday's episode just clinched it for me. While this episode DID launch what is shaping up to be a PHENOMENAL November sweeps storyline, (Spikey is right, NO ONE does Sweeps like GH), couldn't the writers have given us some closure on SpinLu? It's obvious that they've been trying to kill it for us for quite some time, and while they've been quite successful, it would have been nice if they could have thrown us a bone and let SpinLu have a beautiful dance scene at Wyndemere. Let Spinelli walk away with some dignity and leave Lulu wondering if she had made a terrible mistake. We didn't need hope for a future - just something to cleanse the palate after a summer of Spin abuse and Logag in our faces. Guza couldn't be that generous. Instead, we get one of the most spastic Spinelli days of all time, starting with his complete nerfbag freak out on the dock and ending with his nerd-er-ific dance with Lulu, who acted like she was doing charity work for the mentally handicapped. She did it because she felt she HAD to, not because she wanted to. It was painful, knowing Spin still loves her so much. She doesn't even act like she's interested in his friendship anymore. She uses it to her advantage when she wants something - "if you don't do this, tell me that, I'm moving out!" At least Jason called her on her BS the last time she tried that.

Speaking of the dock-side freak out - what is going on with Jason these days? He is really earning his "stone cold" title. I realize a lot is going on in the ever-yawn-worthy mob world, but Jason usually has more patience for his wingman and a willingness to try to talk Spin down. Lately, he seems to find Spin nothing more than an annoyance and someone to turn to when he needs computer help or camera surveillance. I'm in dire need of a warm JaSpin moment. I hope I'm going to get it for sweeps!

The only positive note for Spin in this episode was Nadine. She seems to actually appreciate Spinelli's positives, and I LOVED that she called him "The Most Dashing One" in such a genuine way, without a hint of sarcasm or a feeling that she was making fun of him. It's obvious she has no romantic interest in Spin, and vice versa, but it's nice to know Spin may be making a new friend who won't judge or chastize him for his uniqueness. YAY, NADINE!

Poor Georgie - I'm actually surprised Spin didn't think of asking her to the ball, but I guess we're going to be forced to wait this one out, if we get it at all. I'm definitely in the G-Spin camp. They would be so cute together, and how refreshing would it be for Spinelli to be in a healthy relationship with someone who truly cares for him and accepts - and LOVES - all his qualities. PLEASE don't let Georgie be one of the "casualties" of sweeps!

Maybe this big sweeps event will force change for Spinelli. If he's at Wyndemere, I'm assuming they have plans for him during this storyline. Let's hope it's to save Nadine or Georgie - or both! To really be forced to "man up" and learn that he can do it better than he ever thought he could. Let's let Johnny save Lulu.

Side note - I'm actually rooting for JohnLu (I don't know if they even have an official title yet). I REALLY like the Johnny character. Great actor playing him, he's NOT hard to look at and he and Lulu have great on-screen chemistry (something she SORELY lacks with Logan - ack).

**Edited to correct my previous errors :)

The Most Dashing One..

Spin has a panic attack and Jason tries to calm him. Drop dead gorgeous Nadine (Spin's date) shows up and calls Spin "Most Dashing One". Spin calms and introduces Jason to Nadine. I don't think Jason has ever had a girlfriend any more beautiful than this girl. Go Spin!

Meanwhile, at the party, Lulu dances with her father (awwww) Lucky/Liz dance together, make me cry and remember how good they can be together. Nikolas touches me with the proposal to Emily. Jerry and Alexis have some major chemistry, and sweet Georgie shows up with Coop, and (saint that she is) admits she wants him to dance with her sister. I really hope she gets some good moments with Spin. She was so broken-hearted that he was taking Nadine.

Nobody does Sweeps like GH...

Oh yeah....

I think I am over Spinelli and Lulu, and then they have a scene like this..

I love them.. LOVE them.

"GH Co-Stars Best Advice"

GENERAL HOSPITAL's array of seasoned veterans have never been shy about offering words of wisdom to the show's up-and-coming stars. (Josh Duhon (Logan), JMB (Lulu), Jason G (Coop), Brandon Barash (Johnny) and Kirsten (Maxie) are also interviewed.

Bradford Anderson (Spinelli)
"When I first came on the show, I put pressure on myself to be funny at every moment. I felt like I had to make every scene comical, throw in 'Spinellisms' at every point possible. Steve Burton pulled me aside one day, not as a criticism, but to say, 'You know what? You can pick your moments. Pick the moments where you go over the top as Spinelli. Pick the moments where you bring him down. Don't feel pressure to [be funny all the time]. It will make those moments that you are all the more successful, and you won't kill yourself in the process.' That got me thinking. Now I don't feel the pressure to have to come up with something new all the time. I don't have to hit the top of the charts with every scene. I can pace myself a little bit. I still make very specific and bold choices, but I don't feel like I have to blow it out in every scene."
