May 4 and May 13 Spinelli recap

May 4 and May 13 Spinelli recap

Spinelli found Diane snooping at his office. For my sanity, he didn’t believe that she was looking for a pen to write him a note (in which he picked up a container of pencils on his desk). He then started to get snippy with her. She then tried to pull off she wanted an update on the Brandon case, in which Spinelli’s lips were sealed. She tried to change the subject to the novel. She said they needed to start the sequel, and wanted to go through his cases. He informed her they were sealed for a reason. He brushes her off and says he has to work; she leaves and of course now is thinking he is hiding something.

Spinelli was at Sonny’s with Dante helping them track down Suzanne. Brenda comes in and started to demand what is going on. Sonny doesn’t want her involved as she is too emotionally attached. Spinelli later located Suzanne. She was in San Antonio and took money out of Theo’s account.

Once Sonny and Dante left and Brenda returned, she apologized and basically started to beg for information. He did let slip that Carly went with and that she may have reason to rejoice soon.

5-16-11 Recap

Writer: Michele Val Jean

Brenda is going crazy that they still haven’t heard anything. Spinelli has confidence in them. He sticks up for Carly. Spinelli says to Brenda, as long as her son comes home does it really matter who brings him? Brenda still wants more information. Spinelli didn’t give up information. Spinelli doesn’t think his opinion is relevant on whether her son is safe with Sonny, Brenda disagrees. Spinelli basically says he is a good father, and will do everything he can to give her son a happy and healthy life.

Spinelli walks in on Sam reading his novel. She is enjoying it. He brought her a gift for her & Jason to share together (romance mood enhancing stuff).
Sam & Spinelli talked about her finding out that Alexis being her mother. She talks about losing her daughter (again). She is overwhelmed. She is unsure if she wants to have a child. Spinelli tells her she would be a wonderful mother. He says he knows bringing a child is a monumental decision. He apologizes for overstepping. She appreciates his support and says he is a good friend. Jason calls Spinelli to find something on Jax because he wants to fight Carly for custody of Joslyn.

Jason comes in (Sam reading novel on couch) and Spinelli is looking for information to use against Jax.

Spinelli April 2011 Recap

While it may have been raining almost the whole month of April in some states, in Port Charles they were suffering a Spinelli drought.
There was no April fool’s joke in Port Charles this year; Spinelli actually shared scenes with his old flame Maximista. He went to Crimson to tell her about the book (where he found her with mourning Lucky). Maxie and Spinelli gave each other many compliments. Bradford & Kirsten proved yet again they still have the magic and they still sparkle on screen together. She admitted she would always love him, and he admitted she was his inspiration for the novel. Maxie was going to write an article about his book in Crimson.

Spinelli was not interested in celebrating the release of his novel when his best buddy was grieving the loss of his son. He found out from Sam that Jason was being questioned for Brandon murder. (Not watching and wondering who Brandon is?, eh don't worry about it.) Spinelli quickly was looking for evidence to prove Jason was innocent. Maxie showed up and she had set up a book signing for him with Diane (yes that’s right Spixie fans…TWO days of scenes). She even brought him an outfit to wear. Maxie & Sam convinced him to go. Did we get to see all the ladies adoring him at this book signing? Sadly, no =(

Several days later, Spinelli was not willing to help Dante speak to Jason about the ‘Brandon’ case in which Jason was the primary suspect (though Dante believed Jason & Mikey were both innocent of the crime.) Diane lets Spinelli know that the novel was a huge success. She believed they would be asked to write another one. Spinelli said some of his files/cases were far too confidential for publication.

Then Spinelli went MIA for 17 episodes (aka the rest of April. While yes some could agrue time is different in fantasy land, 17 episodes is still 17 episodes.) I am thinking he was hired by the Queen of England to be head of security at Kate & Will’s wedding.

Looks like come June the drought may offically be over, things begin to bloom for our Spinelli.

Spinelli March 2011 Recap

Seemed like it took a few weeks before Spinelli went to visit Sam at the hospital, or be there for moral support for Jason (quick recap Sam was put in the Sonny & Brenda’s limo at the wedding and it blew up. Think Lily style.) Spinelli was reading Sam tales from the book he & Diane were working on, while she was in the hospital recovering. Jason should have realized by now he would of course be a character in the novel. He wanted Spinelli working to find Brenda (who had been MIA since the wedding) instead of writing the book. They made a deal…he could use Jason in the book if he found information on where Brenda was.

Spinelli figured out that Suzanne (her alias name) was not only married to Theo, but also Aleksander’s mother. Jason & Spinelli shared this information with Suzanne (who agreed to help save Brenda…I forget but somehow Suzanne & Theo are let go) and of course Jason is still seeking revenge for him almost killing Sam. He demands Spinelli to find him.

Jason was getting impatient as Spinelli continued to look for information on Theo’s whereabouts. Theo had a connection with the Trujillo family (whoever they were), but turns out they were being loyal, they refused to help Theo and gave him Johnny’s name.

While Jason was on his ‘errand’ Mikey stopped by the penthouse. Spinelli spilled the beans that it was about Theo. A call from Bernie came in about a shipment, Michael convinced Spinelli that the guys could handle it and not to bother Jason about it.

Spinelli showed concerns to Sam about her headaches. Jason gets back to the penthouse; Spinelli fills him in on Sam. Abby shows up to tell Jason what she thought Mikey was up to, Spinelli says he must have overheard him on the phone with Bernie.

Many episodes after Jake’s death we finally got to see Spinelli comforting Jason. It may have been a short scene, but my favorite part was Jason knowing Spinelli was going to hug him and basically invited him in for the hug. Spinelli offered to help find the driver, but Jason said the police could handle it. This was also the day that Spinelli received his copy of the finished book. Spinelli felt the book was insignificant, but Jason didn’t want to delay the release.

Spinelli Feburary 2011 recap

By Valentine’s Day, the good old overly used plot point came to Port Charles, though it did include Spinelli’s wonderful snarky hatred for Dante (love that). Lulu remembered Spinelli was her friend, of course it was purely for selfish reasons because she needed his help, and Spinelli being Spinelli, went and shared his heartache with Dante (and Mikey) so Lulu could plan a special surprise (gag me).
That night he spent it with the Valkyeri at Jakes where he found out that Carly was not the one trying to sabotage the wedding, and Sonny wasn’t listening to her warnings about Brenda and the baby. It was now time to step it up.

A different day, Carly informed Spinelli that she would expose Dante & Brenda at the wedding. Hanging out with someone who has mastered the art of lying, Spinelli did manage to lie to Jason & Sam why Carly really stopped by the PI office, but of course St. Jason knows Carly like the same black t-shirt he wears every day, and told her not to try and pull anything. Then did what he ‘does’ best ordered Spinelli to get back to work. Spinelli was to compare Alesander’s DNA with the suspects.
During the month there were more PI fantasies and more getting ordered what to do and when by Jason. Spinelli was still curious to what Carly was going to do at the wedding.


Spinelli saved the day (as usual) and found the true identity of the Balkan. Let’s face it Spinelli truly is the mastermind and hero of Port Charles.The Balkan was Theo Hoffman and Alesander’s father.
Spinelli escorts (or one could say her bodyguard) Molly to the wedding after finding her hiding in Diane & Alexis’s office and learning the truth that Theo is the Balkan. At the wedding is also, very sadly he made mends with Dante. =(

Spinelli January 2011 Recap

At the beginning of January, Spinelli barged into Diane’s office while she was in the middle of a meeting with Theo Hoffman. Of course Theo wasn’t pleased, and was even more unpleased when Spinelli sneezed. Theo was afraid of getting his germs. He threatened to stop working on the Brenda/Dante case. Diane, naturally praised Spinelli and how brilliant he is and Theo didn’t quit. What comes next is the start of the writing of the Spinelli book (I should have known better that GH/ABC was going to take a beloved character, pimp the book through the fan favorite character of Spinelli and actor and not actually show the character involved in a storyline at the time the book was released…more on that at a later date and time)

Spinelli had a brilliant idea. He asked Diane to help him write a book about the Jackal, PI. At first she laughed at him and brushed him off, but later agreed. There were some disagreements and laughs during their discussions and story ideas. Jason wasn’t too pleased when he first heard about Spinelli writing this book.

Spinelli also worked with Sam & Jason to find more information about Theo Hoffman. During the month, Sam was thinking that Spinelli didn’t want to work with her anymore. Spinelli just needed something creative to do. She assured him he would meet a great girl, because he was a great guy.

Spinelli started to help Brenda plan her wedding to Sonny, even if at first he was against the marriage. He hired a wedding planner. Later, Brenda & Spinelli discuss how hard it must have been for Sam to lose her own child (when really talking about her own loss)

Spinelli also shared scenes with Lucky (and even one with Siobhan). They thought that maybe Jerry Jacks was Alesander’s father. (Later this turned up not to be the case).

Spinelli also was working with Carly, who was still out to ruin Sonny & Brenda’s wedding. She would wait for the perfect moment to tell Sonny that Brenda had a baby. (Like women don't have babies every day or something...)

At one point Spinelli and Mikey discussed the weather while standing on a sidewalk.

Spinelli recap 5-13-11

Thank goodness for Spinelli being on todays episode...

Spinelli comes into the penthouse to see Sam laying on the couch. He wants to know where Jason is. Sam says she shooed him away, that she can take care of herself. Sam is worried about pushing Jason, Spinelli wants to know if the surgery was a success. Its too soon to tell. Spinelli thinks they will be excellent parents.

Spinelli knows she can take care of herself, but made her tea. Spinelli offers to take on more at work. She says just because she had the proceedure, doesnt mean she will have a baby. its not just her decision. He brings up her brother. Spinelli says Jason made decisions to protect his child. Spinelli says Stone Cold will embrace any child put in his arms. He says not to let the fear interfear with having a baby. He says Jake can not be replaced, but thinks Sam will be a great Mom.

Dante calls Spinelli. Spinelli has access to know what she was saying in the car, vie the radio. He also breaks down the car, so they can not get away. Carly wants to know if they have the right house. Spinelli wants to know if he doubts him. The picture in the frame is not Lucien.

Brenda bangs on the door. She wants to know where he is. He thinks she means Jason, who he says isnt home. Brenda says she is his mother. She has a right to know where her son is.

Brenda wants to know where he is. She is begging him. He says Mr. Sir is doing everything he can and will keep him safe. She figures out that Dante & Carly are with Sonny.

Spinelli says he doesnt have exact details. He knows Sonny & Carly willl return with her toddler. Spinelli thinks he may not wanted to get her hopes up. Brenda just wants to be there when they find her son. She knows he is very good at his job.

From a Sewer to the Rooftop

Its rare but sometimes a real love story comes along. An epic story filled with heart and beauty. A bond formed when they both were in the a lowest point of their lives that carried them to this highpoint. There has been so much that has happend in the past year and a half, through it all they have both grown and achieved so much that they simply would not without the other.They complete each other...

I could be tired but I am seeing symbolism everywhere to Spinelli soiling her designer shoes in a sewer to giving her a ring on a rooftop.

Maxie had lost her sister and lover by tragic death while at a career standstill till finding real true love and getting the job of her dreams. Spinelli dreaming of becoming a PI to really BEING a PI and him fnally able to completely give his heart away to someone else.

Enjoy the Ride...

Are you like me and you try to dissect everything on your screen? Do you sit in front of your tv and try to understand the motivations characters and future plots? My husband gets really annoyed with me when I do this. We will sit down to watch a night of tv and I will keep pausing the program to discuss what is going on. He will then look at me and put his arms up in the air like he is on the roller coaster."Can't you just enjoy the ride?" he asks...... Umm...no...Not really. But, with GH, Spixie, and Spinelli's storyline, I am going to try. Why don't you give it a try too. This is a soap. Nothing comes easy. There is no easy payout. A couple's happiness is short lived. Sometimes we get so invested in the big payout we forget the big picture. It is a soap...where you can be murdered by your evil twin and come back to life to save your grown secret child whose father could be 1 of 20 people.

So tonight think of me because tonight is Survivor and I will be trying to be three steps ahead of everything and I imagine my husbands hands will be going up at least 4 times tonight.

Sit down. Buckle up and enjoy the ride. Its going to be bumpy and it may make you sick but keep holding on. You may enjoy yourself in the end and then get back in line so you can go back on again.

Feeling like a Yo-Yo.

Since the start of the year Spinelli's storyline has been all over the place. Big highs with HUGE lows. I am dizzy.

Lets review for those who have forgotten.

Maxie and Spinelli have sex but get into a major fight after when Spinelli realizes it was over jealously of Winifred. (that was good)

Spinelli gets arrested by the FBI (good)

Kate hires Johnny as Maxie official escort. (lame) Spin and Lulu share their first meaningful scenes in years. (good)

Jason and Spinelli track down toxic balls (weird) while Maxie gets drunk an kisses Johnny (gross) Spinelli gets caught in fire while going through an air duct at the same time Maxie goes into the burning building to get her essential person (riveting) Maxie then needs to be saved by Johnny (stupid) while Maxie see Spinelli leave the burning building they kiss (sweet).

Spinelli goes on the run to protect Jason and says goodbye to Maxie (ahhh) He goes on the run with Winifred (WTF)Spinelli becomes the a hacker slave to an art thief (what?) He is even handcuff to a computer(yeah). Sam and Jason save Spinelli with Maxie help. (good)

Spinelli prepares to go back on the run but Maxie convinces him to come back to Port Charles with her because she needs him (good) and she may hook up with Johnny (wtf).

Maxie makes out with Johnny in the limo after convincing Spinelli to return at his own peril (gross skanky gross gross skanky gross)

Spinelli walks around his pink room in a towel (always good) While Sam and the Jackal take care of the evidence against him (great) with Winnifred (umm ok)

Spam PI is born (genius)

Johnny tries to steal Maxie gum on the dock while the Jackal looks on (gross and heartbreaking)

Spinelli and Maxie have a heated argument (angry Spin always good) Spinelli punches Johnny (YES)

Maxie asks Jason's help to seduce Spinell and she says she is not attracted to Spinelli that way (WHAT!??)

Then we see the spoiler pictures for three weeks from now (confused)

Anyone else have whiplash?

If you say essential person one more time I am going to scream ....

It all came crashing down yesterday.

My already cracked Spixie heart was shattered.

Spinelli confronted the slimness that is Johnny and Maxie.

He even punched Johnny (and Penny cheered)

I can give you brooding and I have better hair then him.

Maxie realized she may lose her essential person and Spin told her to stick it.

now I understand what they mean by loose lips sink ships

Then our brokenhearted hero proved he still cared about Maxie by threatening loser Johnny.

I don't know where I stand with Spixie at this point. I really think Spinelli has had enough. Maxie is going to have to kiss a lot of buts before I see her worthy of the Jackals affections. Someone commented in the last recap that he needs someone like Winnie.. Well he doin't need Winnie but he needs someone that cares about him as much as he cares about them.

The Jackal's World shatters. ....AGAIN!

Why I ask you does Damian Spinelli keep having females in his life that disappoint him. Some examples of this...

• Allusion to mother issues
• Realizing Sam's involvement in Jake's kidnapping
• His Lulu crush
• Jolene being a serial murder
• Maxie being skanky Maxie.

The guy can't catch a break. He gets so close to the brass ring and then his world comes tumbling down.

Friday's episode started of with Spinelli talking to his client Tracy out the case she had him on to find out more about Ethan.

It was a great scene. I love Tracy and the Jackal together.

Happening at the same time a bomb went of in Maxie's and Lulu's apartment. The bomb that was set the night of the blizzard when Maxie started to slowly go insane.

Poor Lulu's heart was broken. Johnny being the wimp that he is broke it off with the orginal blonde one. The bad blonde one made it worse blaming it all on Lulu. Poor Lulu. I so wanted to give the girl a hug

Well after that slithery Johnny and insane Maxie ended up at the docks right near Spinelli's forgoten cellphone. Well poor Spinelli retrived his cellphone just as Maxie and Johnny kissed. ugg. Why do the writers hate my Spinelli so? Why was Maxie all worried that Lulu would ruin her 'thing' with Spinelli when she can do a better job herself ?

that was the look on my face too Spin. Why Maxie WHY?

The Birth of Spammy PI

Yesterday Jackal & McCall PI or McCall & Jackal PI was officially born. Sam informed Jason that her license request was denied. (ok help me here doesn't Spinelli have a PI license?)

Spinelli informed them that Bernie (the Bernificent One) actually holds a PI license.

Please.. pretty please..

Bernie fights the idea...He is afraid of the Jackal record of breaking the law (did anyone else find this funny)

we are cute kids help us out.

Jason eases his concerns and Spammy PI is open.

Thank you and lets dance.

In Spixie front.. Spinelli shares the great news about the PI business with Maxie who seems to not really care. (I guess the correct word would be distracted) Then she starts babbling about getting back at Lulu and Spinelli realizes that the bad blonde one is coming out to play.

Maxie sometimes you make no sense..

He gets concerned about her being destructive and regretting what she may do.

Missing

(jackal missing poster)

Does absence make the heart grow fonder.....

I miss Damian Spinelli. I think he has been on 4 times the past three weeks. Feels that way anyways... More lovable hacker please. GH is not a happy place for me right now.

Man Of Action

The storyline is ridiculous. How completely stupid was if for Spinelli to sneak into the FBI office while a wanted man. They gave Bradford lemons and he turned it into lemonade. I laughed at the Spinelli scenes Wednesday & Thursday. This is the reason I LOVE Spinelli

I just watched both days back to back and honestly it was classic Spin. Spin is a guy with magic powers. Magic hacking powers. He can't stop using them just like he can't stop breathing. He wants respect. This issue always being that no one understands just how good he is. (well expect for Winifred who can't act like a professional to save her life)

I hope for the Jackal to be free SOON!

Note: 3 days of Maxie being in the dog house
