Are you confused?

Last night, I swore it was a dream (at least some of it)



Today, I think it all happened.

Of course, I'm talking about the series NIGHT SHIFT.

After thinking on it, I like that it happened. I think it deepened most of the characters involved (Patrick probably took the biggest hit) but certainly Robin, Spin and Jason are the better for it. I've really come around to the thought that this troubled girl was Spin's first sexual experience, and he really got to her.

I like it.

Of course, Jason was the hero of the shootout, but Spin had his moments, certainly Robin did.

Jolene jumped in front of a bullet meant for Spinelli, and she is now in an apparent irreversable coma.







Today's show verified that it was real. (at least, I got that impression) Leo was shot. Kelly had her sex problem. Lainey/Cody were plotting to allow Jolene take the blame so he wouldn't go down for her pulling the plug on her father. Spin was wondering why Jolene was willing to die to save him.

As for the part of the show that isn't so HUH? Carly took Spin by the hand today and offered him junk food. Of course, we know this means trouble.

Smartly, Spin ran straight to Sonny. Mr. Corinthos sir, Valkyrie, Valkyrie, etc. etc. Sonny told him to say "CARLY". Spin managed to spit it out.. C-C-C--Carly. ha!!

ABC Daytime stars visiting for Super Soap Weekend has been announced. The event runs Nov 10-11, and this year includes some actors from the SOAPNet series General Hospital: Night Shift.

Super Soap includes upclose encounters with the stars, plus interviews, parades, autograph sessions and a Street Jam each evening.

Full (subject-to-change) lists:

ALL MY CHILDREN: David Canary (Adam/Stuart), Bobbie Eakes (Krystal), Melissa Claire Egan* (Annie), Thorsten Kaye (Zach), Michael E. Knight (Tad), Susan Lucci ( Erica), Cameron Mathison (Ryan, also seen on Dancing With the Stars), Alicia Minshew (Kendall), Aiden Turner (Aidan), Jacob Young (J.R.)

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Bradford Anderson* (Damien), Julie Berman (Lulu), Tyler Christopher (Nikolas), Josh Duhon* (Logan), Sonya Eddy* (Epiphany), Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth), Kimberly McCullough (Robin), Kelly Monaco (Sam), Jason Thompson (Patrick), Laura Wright (Carly).

GENERAL HOSPITAL: NIGHT SHIFT: Nazanin Boniadi* (Leyla), Dominic Rains* (Leo), Kent King* (Lainey)

ONE LIFE TO LIVE: Kristen Alderson (Starr), Kathy Brier (Marcie), Brandon Buddy* (Cole), Kamar de los Reyes (Antonio), Kassie DePaiva (Blair), Michael Easton (John), John-Paul Lavoisier (Rex), Forbes March (Nash), Erika Slezak (Viki), Trevor St. John (Todd), Tika Sumpter* (Layla), Bree Williamson (Jessica).

Physical Comedy

Today's show proves once again that Bradford is a brilliant physical comedian when Spin drops the gun all the way down his pants.


TPTB need to take a look at romantic comedies which include this type of humor and incorporate that into any pairing he has. (DAYS Jack/Jen did it very successfully on soaps.) Don't know if any of the current "teen" girls have that ability(possibly Kirsten Storms--but Maxie could be too much for our Spin). I feel that would work really well for his character.


Another laugh out loud moment was Spin leaving a voice mail to Sonny.

Many sincere thanks. With love, the Jackal...




You might be lying if you say you haven't had a moment like this when leaving messages on answering machines.

Steve and Bradford get lots of rave reviews for their fun and at times touching brotherly relationship but I really think that Bradford and Maurice are equally brilliant together. Sonny has no patience, Spin rambles. They make an excellent comedy team.

Watching General Hospital..

Since I've started watching GH again after a seven year hiatus, I'm pretty much zen about the whole thing. It's far more fun that way.

Best advise? Focus on a favored character and don't get overly involved with couples. It's more enjoyable. Obviously, it's best if your favorite is the one getting airtime. (I think NIGHT SHIFT does a much better job at cast integration, and mother show could take pointers from that, although I do see some improvement in that direction)

So here's a little list of what's entertaining for me to watch right now.

Random Rage Nik --He strolls up to Jerry and starts kicking him repeatedly? What was that?!!!

Jaspin--No matter how crappy their romances are going, they always have each other and it's funny. (Steve Burton has an interview in the latest SOW and totally gushes about Bradford)

Jason, Lucky, Sam and Elizabeth--it's sad to see so your favorite couples break up, but it's been tearjerky and at times amusing. All the characters have great chemistry.

Jaxis and Alexis in general---enough said.

Sonny/Kate-- Together and apart.

Trevor-- The actor is just perfect for that role.

Maxie and her plots---Kirsten is emerging as one of the best bad girls on TV.

Luke Spencer is returning.

Diane-- Like Alexis, everything about this woman is fun to watch.

Crazy Johnny-- Will he be crazy like Logan or just misunderstood?

Ric Lansing-- So well acted, so screwed up..

Michael--that kid gave me the heebies after Leticia's death. I think even Maurice Benard got scared. (That was a great scene)

Robin/Patrick- I don't for one minute think this is the end of them. They are so great together..

OTOH:

Jason/Robin =chemistry.

In spite of Lulu going "Scarlett O'Hara" on him and his lack of backbone where she's concerned, I'm a happy Spin fan. I know there's alot of frustration with Lulu right now, but I find the little brat to be high entertainment.





I've got my theories on why she is acting out, and I believe it has something to do with that rape reveal. I'm probably wrong, but it would make sense since this is when she started going nutzoid bad boy crazy.

If you are a Spin fan, we get great character interaction, and he's on alot. He's actually very well written. From the spoilers I've read, I feel they are setting up the Georgie romance well.

Even the story with Jolene on NS is promising to be poignant.

Jason Thompson and Bradford

hee. I'll just say I want Bradford in a car with me when I'm about to get a speeding ticket.

GH the last two days..

Probably the most unintentionally funny scene I've watched in a while was when Jason was telling Liz all the people who knew about Jake being his kid.

Lulu is getting involved with another baddie.. Johnny is texting her. Don't know why she feels the need to act out, I still say she and Maxie aren't that far apart.

Anyway.. Spin invited her to stay at the penthouse.. I would say that Jason was not happy about this development. It's getting very clear that he has a soft spot for Spin.

This made me LOL:

http://serialdrama.typepad.com/serial_drama/2007/09/dear-abby-im-a-.html

I must say that Spinlu are still very good together. I'm a fan of the slow building and this relationship actually accomplishes that. They both have quite a bit of maturing to do, obviously.





As for the other parts of the show? It was good to see Old Skool Jax actually getting one over on Trevor.

I have no horse in this race, so I will say that the Liason love scene was very well done and romantic. Then again, I also felt bad that Lucky/Liz are divorcing, even though all I've seen mostly from them since I started watching again is hateful and unfaithful. (I was a fan of the couple when JJ was Lucky..)

Logan remains a squicky character to me. I had to laugh at all the nasties coming out of his mouth. Didn't know daytime TV allowed such language. I don't think I can even repeat what he called Maxie on Penny's PG-rated journal..

Taken from stories on NS/GH. Stacy's baby and her death affected the lives of Robin, Jason and Spinelli in a profound way. Robin was affected directly due to her HIV status. Stacy brought back memories for Jason of Elizabeth/Sam and his angst over his own unclaimed baby, Jake. Due to the fact that the child was left without a mother, Spinelli's family issues and loneliness were brought to the forefront.

self destruction and serial killers

Thoughts on GH..

Jason and Spin continue to grow closer. You know, one of the reasons I quit watching for six years is because I couldn't STAND Jason. Now? I love him. All because of Spinny. They are truly a male supercouple.

Not sure what to think of newbie danger boy Johnny, yet. He seems pretty campy now, but he hasn't spoken yet. Looks like he and Lulu might be playing tag or hide and seek, while everyone thinks she's in danger. It wouldn't surprise me.

Self destruction.

I think that Lulu is not that far apart from Maxie. She's acting out and self destructing. Spin, Georgie (and apparently Coop) are the type who want to save people, and some people just don't want to be saved, no matter how hard you try. I guess Carly is a good example, as Jason has pointed out. They have to want to stop the self destructive behavior on their own.

I am not loving the way Spin throws himself in front of dangerous people when his loved ones are in peril. Don't try this at home--this is NOT safe behavior..



Jason's little buddy is going to get himself hurt someday, that's a given. I just feel that unless it's the end of BA's contract, Spin is too popular to die, so I am not fretting about good Emmy bait material for Steve, Brad and possibly Julie.

I'm really REALLY having a hard time with the Logan character. Recently Frons has said that Logan/Lulu are a "supercouple". So why is Logan continuously bullying women and people smaller than himself? **Shudders** Yes, Maxie was cruel to do what she did to Lulu, but Logan has no business shoving her around. He makes me think he might be the serial killer. :-/

That said, obviously, I'm a hypocrite because I am cheering on Nikolas for choking characters I don't like. (at least we know something is horribly wrong with him and it's not LIKE him)



On to NIGHT SHIFT and serial killers..

Last night's show was both heartbreaking and hilarious. To sum it up, Spin thought he was addicted to sex, and went first to poor Toussaint (Billy Dee had the look of bewilderment) and then Jason, who may have been slightly horrified. (I..I gotta get back to work!!!)

The first thing Jason thought of was that Kelly(who has sex with everyone and takes off her clothes in the middle of the hospital lobby) had put the moves on Spin. There is really no describing that scene where Spin gave TMI about his fantasies or the looks on Jason's face. Jason has yet to master talk of the "birds and the bees".



After she shattered his pitiful heart in tiny peices, what was Jolene crying about at the end when she looked at Spin? Call me crazed, but I wanted her to realize she loves him. It's sad, I want someone to love him back-- even if it's a serial killer.

But seriously? Jason loves Spin. (See Rene's post below)--> Georgie also loves him, or at least has potential too.

I admit, I am die hard Spinlu fan, but even if I wasn't, I would be a bit afraid to get attached to Georgie with Spin. Three month contract? What is that? It worries me about her character. I hope Spin is not one of those characters with the Cartwright syndrome. (when Hoss, Little Joe, Ben or Adam loved someone, they either suddenly died, left town, became evil, or the girl went off with some other guy)

Bradford at the Maxim Style Awards

Some Quick Rambling Thoughts....

I'm EXTRAORDINARILY busy this time of year with my business, but definitely some thoughts that I needed to express....

SPINELLI SEARCHES FOR LULU: PLEASE oh PLEASE let TPTB play this out well. We could have some absolutely beautiful scenes between these two if only Goober...er uh..GUZA let's it happen. If this really is a rehash of Luke/Laura/Scotty, then we all know who Lulu will end up with the end. But I'm not buying it. Yes, they are playing it exactly the same way, but it's obvious Lulu has it BAD for Logan. So knowing TPTB like I've known them for 25+ years, Spin is out...but on THAT front...

SPINELLI AND GEORGIE: Okay, I am LOVING this. Poor Georgie. Does NO ONE see her for the gem she truly is? First Dillon, now Spinelli. Poor Spin. He doesn't know a good thing when he sees it. I'm leaning towards a wonderful friendship with Lulu and a relationship with Georgie. They are uber cute together. Sadly, it will probably be Spin's dawning realization of the awesomeness that is Georgie that will get Lulu off her butt to figuring out who should have been her true love. Let's hope it hurts her as much as it's hurt Spin.

And I just have to add....

LUCKY: Gag, hack, barf...please have him shot in the line of duty and put into a coma for a decade or so. Never has such a gullible, whiney, worthless character existed on screen. We need "original Lucky" back. But alas...

SAM THE SLUT: Maybe a bad romp in the hot tub with Lucky can put BOTH of them in a coma. I used to love the Sam character, but she stinks on ice right now.

KATE - BUT WHERE'S DIANE?: I love Kate. Nothing about her bothers me. My only hope is that they put her in more scenes with Diane. Where IS Diane!? She could get Kate out of this mess and bring a ray of sunshine into my life while doing it.

TREVOR LANSING: If he said "alcohol blood level" one more time, I was going to throw my Diet Pepsi at the TV. My alcohol doesn't HAVE a blood level - does his?

That is all.

New Soapnet Promo--Brad talks about SPINELLI!!

September 19 campy fun.

More and more, I am thinking Spin/Lulu/Logan/Maxie story is a new whacked out version of the old Luke/Laura/Scott/Bobbie story.

Lulu=Laura--Bratty and self-absorbed, runs away when things go wrong. Hates her life, thinks her home is a prison. In today's show, (during the frantic search)Lesley even said Lulu reminded her of Laura.





Logan=Scottie--Screw up who often says and does the wrong thing. Bobbie connived and had sex with Scottie, Laura found out and was broken hearted. It's being relived. Interesting that Logan's father is Scott Baldwin, too.





Spin=Luke--Suffering from severe unrequited love but pretending to be a BFF. Good dancer (if incorperated) mob ties, has vivid fantasies about blonde one, bad hair, makes up nicknames, has strange friends and likes to wear disguises sometime...





Maxie=Bobbie--Conniving, self-destructive, hates/jealous of the blonde one. Claims her life was far worse, but (of course) she doesn't whine like blonde one does.





Like I said, whacked out version..

Remarkably, there was lots of cast integration, today. Loved the scenes with Logan/Scott, the Quartermaines, Maxie/Georgie and Jason/Spin. (You are the Jackal!!) Spin is rubbing off on Jason, which amuses me. Still don't know how he finds people on the internet in 10 minutes, but we won't think about that.

The chase to the car when Lulu runs from newly introduced Johnny Zacharra and locks the door (He has a canvas top) was campy fun. The evil guy's introduction was interesting. We'll see if it goes down hill from here.

Its not to late....

Be part of Bradford Birthday Gift. The Manchester Animal Shelter Needs our help NOW!

Logan is a screw up!. He has got nothing on the Jackal.

Ok is it bad that I giggle when my sweet Jackal punched Logan and when Lulu 'heart' got scuffed up by Maxie. Both times I giggled.

The best thing about today was Jason & Spinelli.

Jason found Spinelli mixing vodka and orange soda to ease his pain (someone needs to tell him you don't mix your beverage of choice with vodka. not a good idea..)

Jason and Spinelli has another wonderful heart felt discusion. Spinelli forces me to like Jason (be it kicking and screaming all the way). Jason is warmer then he was a year ago and it not just because of Jake. Spinelli has a great deal to do with Stone Cold's thawing.

Spinelli shows Jason his 'moves'
Then like a gift from the cyber-gods Logan walks in fresh from Lulu getting her heart broke. (gleeful laugh)

More gleeful laughing ....
ok I like Georgie. I refuse to get my heart broke though so I can't jump on the G-Spin train just yet. The Spinlu train has gotten pretty roomy and I am a pretty sorry romantic. Georgie really is agreat friend to Spin that in its self is true.

Love tears and other things..

Lulu found out about the bet from Maxie. Logan cried because he lost Lulu.Spin found out what Logan did and he cried, because Lulu was hurt.

So, who truly loves Lulu?

Logan, the guy who is crying because he got found out and lost her?

Or Spinelli? He's the guy who might even have a chance with her now that Logan is out of the picture, but cries because he doesn't want to see her heart shattered again..

This is why I root for Spinelli and Lulu.





Also, I love the brotherly love between Spin and Jason. Steve Burton is right. This is the best thing that could happen to him. It humanizes the character. Patting Spin on the back and saying "Logan has nothing on the Jackyl" or "Don't drink that, (Vodka and orange soda) your going to be sick" (But you know he'd take care of him) Not to mention, Spin is gradually changing, too. No longer the lost puppy begging for attention, Spin is completely at ease with Jason. He tells him he's busy, Jason steals his potato chips/soda as a comeback.

{{{Hugs my male supercouple}}}}







I still have my mind open for Georgie, just having a hard time wrapping my head around her wanting to risk her heart on another guy who is hung up on Lulu. (Listening to a guy go on and on about loving a girl who stole her husband seems like a bit much.) Also, Spin is an acquired taste. Jason and Lulu's love has grown gradually. The Jackyl struggles outside of cyberspace for good reason.

I guess I'm saying that I just wish they had more time and it didn't seem so rushed.

I'm sure most have heard that Lindze has signed a three month extension to her contract.. Take from that whatever you will..

Five days with the cast and crew of Carts! But alas, no Bradford...

Sadly, there will be no Bradford to speak of in this recounting of my week with the cast and crew of Carts, but because Bradford is in the film, I thought you might all enjoy my near "brush" with meeting him FINALLY.

Well, the night finally arrived!! Opening night at the Temecula Valley International Film and Music Festival where CARTS would be premiering! I had worked on the staff of the festival since May, so this was FINALLY my pay-off! (Even though I still worked everyday of the festival except Sunday - my dogs are STILL barking!!)

At this point, I had met and talked to director/writer Chris Cashman and his lovely wife, Lisa, at the festival Media Preview Night in August, so I was looking forward to seeing them again on the opening night of the festival on Wednesday. This is where the filmmakers get to ride in the vintage car parade, walk the red carpet and watch the opening night film. Then afterwards, there's a huge party with food, drinks - lots of fun! WHERE'S BRADFORD ON WEDNESDAY? Unfortunately, according to Chris, he he talked to Bradford that day, and GH shooting was running late, so he wouldn't be able to make the drive to Temecula, BUT, at that point, there was still the possibility he'd be there for the premiere screening on Thursday.

Here's a pic of us on opening night (top left: me, my husband, Anthony, Angelina Spicer, who plays "Angie" in carts, Brendan Brandt, who plays "Brad" - and who is great friends with Bradford - and seated is Chris Cashman and his wife Lisa)

So while we're sitting there enjoying the festivities (and the free-flowing Tommy Bahama rum drinks - yummy! LOL!), Brendan's cell phone rings - AND IT'S BRADFORD! He wants to know how it is, is everyone having fun, blah, blah. I wanted to yell out 'HI BRADFORD' but decided against it. :) SO when he hangs up, the word is he feels pretty confident he will be at the world premiere the next day, Thursday, PROVIDED GH doesn't shoot late again. He was feeling good they'd be finished in time.

So Thursday comes, and I'm SO EXCITED we might finally get to meet Bradford. Chris and I enlist my daughter and her friend, Nick, to decorate a shopping cart with "Carts" stuff, including head shots that Chris provided (yes, one of Bradford) and push it around to pass out postcards and promote the film screening that night. He even gave them the carts vests to wear from the film AND gave my daughter Bradford's tag from the movie! (it says "Ed" of course!) BUT, she wore another one that said "Cindy" while she worked. LOL! Here's a pic:

So 6:00 gets closer, and NO BRADFORD. Finally, Chris gets a text message that, alas, GH filming is STILL going on at 4:00, and he'd NEVER get there in time. BOOOOOOO!!!!! I was so bummed, you have NO idea. That's because this was the last shot - last chance. Even though the film was showing again on Friday night at the Valley Film Festival in L.A. and AGAIN on Saturday night in Temecula, Bradford was flying out Friday to Boston for his fan event. WAHHHHHHHH!!! Sigh and double sigh.

BUT the screening went REALLY well, lots of people and laughs. Along with Angelina Spicer that night, Albert Stroth also came, who plays womanizer "Steve." REALLY nice guy. Angelina is a lovely person and so pretty!! You'll be seeing lots of her in the near future. And Brendan Brandt. Well, what can I say? SUCH a cutie pie and so sweet!! If I couldn't meet Bradford, Brendan was a great second choice.

So SUNDAY, we were all supposed to sit together at the big black tie award's gala at Pechanga Resort and Casino. REALLY fancy dinner, champagne, wine and awards going to Smokey Robinson, Michael Madsen and Robert Rosen (head of UCLA film school) which was given by JOHN LANDIS! So needless to say, we were all excited. But I get a call at 4:00 p.m. Sunday that

CARTS WON BEST FEATURE FILM AT THE VALLEY FILM FESTIVAL! YAY CARTS!

So of COURSE, Chris and Lisa want to go BACK up to L.A. to accept their award. BUT Brendan and his friends stayed, so we sat with them at the gala, which was fun.

My daughter, Kathryn, and Brendan (YOU MUST ADD HIM ON MY SPACE! HE IS GOING TO BE FAMOUS WITHIN SIX MONTHS!! SO NICE AND TALENTED!)

Me and Brendan.
ME AND MICHAEL MADSEN!!
Okay, okay, I know, NOT Carts or Bradford related but come on..
IT'S ME AND MICHAEL MADSEN!! LOVE HIM!

So the night ended with a great time had by all. I told Brendan that he MUST tell Bradford hello and tell him that I am not a creepy stalker person. LOL! I told him myself, my hubby and daughter all think he is EXTREMELY talented and wish the best for him. Let's hope now that I know a few of Bradford's friends, even though I have never met him, that perhaps one day I will!

News out of the Boston fan event..

Word is that Bradford was invited to SOAP SUPER WEEKEND in Florida and he was asked to sing.

"Falling Star" (Night Shift)

LOL, I was hoping Penny would be back for this one. :/

I guess we need to talk about the large elephant in the room..

On NIGHT SHIFT, the racier AU GH, our sweet, innocent Spin had sex with the serial killer last night. Spin thinks she likes him, while Jolene is actually using sex to divert him from finding out she's a murdering nutcase..







We knew sooner or later, our Spin would lose his virginity. Most were hoping for it to be someone who might love him, like Georgie or Lulu. I also think most expected Spin's first time to be awkward and poignant, since more times than not that's how first time sex is. So, (if you want to discuss) how do you feel that this awful girl who obviously finds him repulsive, was his first? Can you seperate the two shows? Does it ruin the story for you on the mother show?

On one hand, I can see the point that this somehow spoiled the fun, (obviously Robin/Patrick fans are having a really hard time right now) and it's hard to seperate the shows when they play the same characters. (I'm really hoping Guza does have an explanation at the end, whether dream or whatever)

OTOH, I love Cody/Lainey and Maxie/Dr. Julian.. Love Regina, Jason/Robin's closeness, etc. Would love that these characters/situations brought to the main show after NS was over. Actually NS can be a far more entertaining show than GH. I prefer the character driven to plot driven, and NS definitely has that going for it. Right now, it's really my favorite of the two shows.

Thoughts?

(He's got a new picture up)

Lulu, Georgie and Spin

I noticed poor Georgie had on the same top when Lulu left for the Cruise/came back. Maxie was wearing the same top too.

The way Lulu has been acting lately, many wished the boat had sank. (Lesley would be miraculously saved, of course)

Seriously, if you were Spin...



Would you want to look at this face:




or this one?




The way Shrew-Lu is acting, you might even prefer THIS one:




Hey, the Serial Killer could even be more fun!
