6/17/11 Spinelli recap

Writer: Michele Val Jean (aka one of my fave script writers)

Spinelli brings Sam to the hospital. He wants to call Jason, Sam doesn't want him to. Robin is there...and Patrick brings her a wheelchair.Spinelli thinks she might be pregnant.

Spinelli is pacing back and forth, Maxie sees him when she gets off elevator. She says he looks a little green. She says she isnt sick. She wants to sit and talk. He plops right down on the ground (at nurses station). She joins him. He says he has been a bad friend, Maxie doesnt believe him. He says he didnt have his partners back. He should have taken better care of her. Maxie wants him to go back. Spinelli talks about the surgery. Maxie says stakeouts can be kind of boring. Spinelli says Sam had some cramping due to his bad hiding spot. Maxie says maybe she just hasnt healed yet.

Spinelli knocks on Sam's door and he and Maxie walk in. Spinelli starts to fluff her pillows to make her comfortable. Maxie doesnt want him to hover. Sam says they are running a lot of tests. Spinelli says including the pregnant one? Maxie says Spinelli over involved, she explains that SPinelli thinks he might have had something to do hurting her unborn child?? Sam says come on, she is sure she is not pregnant. He says timing will tell. Spinelli is getting excited about the possiblity. Maxie says its fine to hope they have a child one day. Maxie wants to wait til results come. Spinelli wants to give him something her heart desires. She wants a mango smoothie.

Maxie tells Robin to tell Matt that she is making a smoothie run with Spinelli. (I like how they pretty much have Robin back to pro-Spixie again)

Robin tells Matt that Maxie left with another man.

Maxie wants to know how mango take taste so yummy in a smoothie and so bad by itself. Spinelli says really you think mango is gross? Maxie says its mushy and smells like socks.

Lisa starts hearing all these voices at once...And lets off the gun. She tells Steve, Maxie, Robin and Patrick to get in conference room. She tells Lucky & Spinelli to stay out of it, and get in elevator. She threatened to shoot Maxie in the head. The door is locked behind them.

(I love Brianna and the character of Lisa...This is a LOT of fun to watch. Kudos to Brianna)

Spinelli wants to charge into the conference room. Lucky says no. (At the beginning of episode he was calling her Maxie, and now she is Maximista). Lucky tells him he is the tech guy he wants him to get on his computer and figure out a way around the lock down. Spinelli goes to the nurses station computer and starts to pound. Lucky is on the phone with Mac. Lucky tells him to work on the lock down, not the ventalation system.

Maxie is going off on Lisa (duh of course she would) when Lisa is about to shoot her. Spinelli jumps through the vent, and says cease and exist. Maxie yells Spinelli.

Spinelli gets up and tells Lisa not to threaten Fair Maximista. Lisa tells everyone to sit down. She says you really are a moron arent you? He wants her to put the gun down, and not to make things worse for herself. Spinelli says she is obviously ill. He thinks the authorities would take that into consideration as long as no one gets hurt. Lisa wants to know who will take her pain and humiliation into consideration? Spinelli says he understands romantic disappointment. He says he knows what it means to invest your entire soul and being into a romantic relationship that doesnt work out. He says the pain is (word I dont know how to spell) and sometimes unbearable. He says taking revenge on the object of your affection does not (big word for take away) your pain. Lisa says you really expect me to take love advice from you? She tells him to have a seat and calls him a pathetic loser (oh she called him a nerd earlier)...Maxie says she cant talk to Spinelli like that. Spinelli tries to stop her, but Maxie goes off on Lisa again. Spinelli leaps in front of Maxie, when the bullet goes off and he gets shot. Maxie yells Spinelli.

Spinelli (and Maxie) were both trending topics. Guza getting fired & Garin Wolf getting hired has trended in the past. We have been told in the past (I believe by Frons) that Spinelli would never be a main course, that he was a side dish. Too bad side dishes are the best part of the meal, and once again we proved him wrong. We also proved Oprah wrong who said no one is home during the day watching soaps anymore.

6/16/11 Spinelli recap

Writer: Garin Wolf

Jason wants to know if Spinelli has found Anthony's location yet. He says he'll know it. Spinelli gave Krissy & Mikey a autographed copy of his novel for graduation. He wanted to know if they liked it. Jason says he is sure they did. Spinelli wants to discuss the sequel. Jason doesn't want to be in it at all. Sam comes down. She has a stakeout with Spinelli. Jason is worried.

Jason reminds Sam that Dr. Lee (though we never see her anymore) says nothing strenuous for 3 weeks. Sam says she isn't. Spinelli apologizes for his insensitivity and says its far too soon for the mother that would be to engage in this kind of investigation. Sam thinks its sweet. Sam doesnt think there will be danger. Spinelli says she must remain her fittest self so she may be with child. Sam says they dont need to talk about that. Spinelli wants her to rest. Sam says she is doing this. Spinelli wants Jason to go instead. Jason agrees. Both of them are shocked. He says he will if its that important. Spinelli is all excited that they will be working together.

Spinelli is very excited. He brings up Jerry Jax and the hostage crises. Spinelli wants to do more then whats expected of him. She wants them to work together but thinks their reunion should be on something better then this. She says she needs to take pictures in a waiters uniform. It needs to be her. Spinelli agrees. They leave, even though Jason is worried.

Watch GH

If you took GH off your Tivo/Dvr, reset it starting tomorrow. Don't just watch clips vie online. The past several weeks little by little we have been hearing tidbits of what is to come (and the more I hear...the more I can't wait). Out of respect for those who may be spoiler free (my lips are sealed). I will say this though, Bradford will be epic.

Spinelli was on twice this week. If you liked what you saw (or even if you didn't) let him and his bosses know.

Spinelli recap 6-8-11

Writer: Susan Wald






Spinelli was working in Sonny's office when Jason walked in. Spinelli makes note that he was out all night. He says he's been busy, Spinelli says him too. Spinelli wants to give him caffienated green tea (Jason wants to know how he drinks that stuff). Spinelli starts to talk about the tea when Jason asks what is on his computer screen. Its video streaming of Mr. Sir's business rivals. He says its simple but brillant. He says that the Zaccarrah's brillantly framed him for burning down the warehouse. Jason says he wasn't framed.


Spinelli thinks this seems uncharateristically of him. Jason tells him its the only language Anthony understands. Spinelli talks about Anthony and then wants to know why he would antagonize him. Jason says he has an agenda, a temper and he hopes this burning of the warehouse pisses him off, he strikes back...and then Johnny will realize war is too high and will shut his father down.


Jason tries the tea, he isn't impressed. Jason wants that same video feed at every one of their properties...which was the plan. Spinelli wants to know if he is ever worried he will freeze in a moment. Jason never thought of it. Spinelli wishes he could, instead of falling to pieces. He tells the choking tale of Maxie at Jakes. Jason tells him to forget Dr. Hunter, he has other strengths. Spinelli doesn't think computer skills are all that manly (oh geez not this again), Jason tells him he is one of the most brillant people he has ever met. A beep goes off on his computer and he says he has to go.

Spinelli walks into Crimson. Maxie is on the phone and Spinelli wheels her out of the way and says he watches things from afar and she has a computer virus. She says it sounds terrible. He says have no fear the Jackal can defend you from the forces of darkness. She is grateful. She is happy to see that he is back to his old self. She said when she saw him at Jakes the other night he seemed down and droupy. She says she thought something was wrong. He was surprised that she thought of him. She said of course just like he still looks out for her from afar. He says so we are still connected. She says of course. (Lets hope this doesn't turn into Spinelli pining over Maxie or her always asking for help with work, cuz that will get real old real quick)

Maxie comes in asking if he fixed the virus. He has. She gives him bbq chips and orange pop. He is thankful for the gesture. Maxie says its kind of like old times, but not really. She pulls up a chair and asks how he has been. Maxie asks about investigations. Spinelli says they have put on hold as his assistance is needed elsewhere. Maxie says Jason? Break into another fantasy. Spinelli says he torched the warehouse down, something with guns ablazin, and they had to stop Big Daddy Zarcarrah. (this fantasy was Spinelli/Jason)...The phone rings and back to reality as Maxie answers it.

6-7-11 Spinelli recap

Spinelli is sitting at Jakes on the phone. Maxie sees him and says she didn't know he was gonna be there (er um Maxie he hasn't reported to you his whereabouts in 11 months). She even apologizes for not seeing that he was on the phone. He asks her if he has heard from the Original Blonde one and mentions all the messages he has received from her (to locate Luke), and her taking over Haunted Star. Maxie fills him in. He wanted to know if he should assist her. Maxie doesn't think so. Maxie says its like his book, where every case ends up ok in the end. Maxie went on about the book. Praising him. He calls her Maximista. She points out its been a while and she thought he never would again. Matt, Robin, Patrick see them and comes over. They discuss why they are late. Maxie gets up and leaves poor Spinelli at the table alone.

Spinelli watches/listens as the 4 of them enjoy themselves. He gets up and starts to walk away. Robin calls him over to enjoy fries with them. Robin admits she hasn't read his book yet, but hears its great. Maxie says its amazing. She says it made 3 of the summers best reads list. Robin gets him a chair. Robin says she always wanted to write a book, and wants to know how it feels. Maxie says she would have invited him over to join them, but she assumed he was working. Maxie points to Matt/Patrick saying she assumes they haven't read the Secret Life of Damian Spinelli, but they should because its excellent. She then gets a phone call. Maxie goes to take the call from Kate. Patrick wants to buy another round as he has never sat and had a drink with a real author before. Matt wants to know what he he drinking. Orange soda it is. Maxie comes back complaing about Lulu. Maxie starts to choke. Spinelli askes if she is ok.

Matt does the hylimic on her. Spinelli apologizes. She says to Matt that he really is her hero.

YAY to Bradford working LOTS!

So if you took GH off your TIVO/DVR to record…Reset it now. If you are home during the day and have been watching something else instead…Fix that starting now. Several weeks ago vie his co-workers tweeting sounds like Bradford started to work lots. Sounds like he was filming with Kirsten, Kimberly, JT and Brianna (these scenes should be airing soon...sounds like there is a hostage with Lisa (I may be the only one but I like Lisa/Brianna has been rockin the crazy Lisa story), and Spinelli saving Matt and an injured Spinelli).

This week he filmed with Kelly, Steve, Kirsten, Maurice & Vanessa for sure. Filming lots with Kirsten? We also found out vie Kirsten that she did a photo shoot with Bradford. Does that mean a Spixie reunion is on the horizon? Together or not does sound like a story coming involving both of them (the photo shoot could be speaking volumes.) Who knows, I am just happy he is working more lately and with many different actors. And we should be seeing new adorable pictures soon. All good things in my book. I personally can't wait for more details to emerge.

What does a new head-writer at GH mean for Spinelli?

What does a new head-writer at GH mean for Spinelli? I honestly do not know. It could be the greatest thing in the world, or sadly it could mean the complete opposite. Since I choose to think it’s going to be the greatest thing in the world (even if those pesky rumors about GH ending in Sept. 2012 are true), I still think it’s fabulous.

During the writer strike, Garin Wolf (who has been on staff for years) took over as head writer. Need examples of what he wrote for Bradford/Spinelli during that time? Just look at post below. I remember the start of Spixie, seeing every character involved and Lucky actually getting to be the hero.

Wolf from what I remember wrote character driven stories. Even if you didn’t like what the character was doing or saying, at least you understood why. It made sense. A story that was started actually would have middle and an end. What an amazing ‘new ‘concept. I also, don’t recall the same characters involved in one or two main storylines that were going on. There seemed to be many storylines involving different characters, of course it’s only natural for some characters to intertwine into a few. I also, do not remember everything being about the mob or wanting someone dead. Wolf also understood the need for family, friendship, history of the show, love, adventure, etc, etc.

Are people going to complain under Garin Wolf’s reign too? Guarantee it. No one can please everyone at every given point, nor should they try. Everyone is different; everyone has their own ideas and their own favorites. No one will ever agree. The annoying Liason vs. JaSam wars will more than like continue even after GH turns its lights out for the very last time.

Getting back to what is really important…So what does all that mean for our Spinelli? Really the possibilities are endless. Maybe we will finally get to know why Spinelli was living with his Granny in Tennessee. Maybe we will get to know why he said up until Jason, his Granny was the only one who ‘ever gave a damn about him’. We know his Granny tortured him with a clown pitcher, and that’s why he is/was afraid of clowns. Does he even know who his parents are? If so, why and when did they drop him off with his Granny? Are his parents still alive? Maybe he was adopted and for whatever reason he ended up with his Granny. The possibilities are endless. Maybe he has siblings he never knew he had. (In my head I have always wanted Diane to be his mother, and Sam to be his sister. I fully believe Diane & Alexis would sleep with the same man.) Or seriously what happened to his family that makes him never mention them? Could these be in the secret files he doesn’t want Diane to ever see? If you want to learn about what makes Spinelli, Spinelli even more then we already know. If you want to find out more about his past, his childhood, etc let the TPTB know.

Do you want Spinelli reunited with his ex non-wife? Or maybe you have been waiting and praying for Spinlu to finally have their chance at love and happiness. Or maybe you have a different lady in mind for him (maybe a girl not in town yet), or maybe Siobhan, Elizabeth, Brooklyn, Carly, Sam, etc. Doesn’t matter who you’d like to see Spinelli paired with, but if you think he deserves to fall in love again. Let the TPTB know.

Maybe you actually want to see Spinelli working on some cases, and not just solving them behind his computer. I personally would love to see him out in the field investigating. Remember the Ian Devlin story? Remember the Text Message Killer story? Yeah, pretty sure both were under Wolf’s reign.
For whatever you want to see happen to Spinelli now that the possibilities are endless and there is pretty much a fresh start…let the TPTB know.

Garin Wolf named headwriter of GH

Soaps In Depth, Soap Opera Network, Soap Opera Source, and etc are all reporting what we all have been dreaming and praying for, for a while now. GUZA is out. While I hate to see anyone lose their jobs. I think its way past time. Its time for someone who understands history, actual storytelling, characters not being on everyday, love, adventure, friendship, family, have characters tell the story vs. plot points.

Garin Wolf is in. Remember Garin Wolf? He has been on the GH staff for years, but named headwriter during the writers strike. This man seemed to understand telling the whole story vs. plot points. He also wrote for everyone. Stories weren't as predicatable (remember when Jason didn't play the hero for once?)

Another good thing is it was the start of Spixie. Remember the sewers? I'm sorry drain storm?

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.


*Now that recaps are all caught up for 2011, they may come weekly vs. daily/monthly*

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.

Cupid & Eros

Have you checked out season 1 of Cupid & Eros yet? Are you a fan of Greek mythology? If so, what are you waiting for? Even if you aren't you should check it out because not only does Bradford make an appearance (near the end of the season, but Kiera makes an appearance at the beginning of the season). Check it out, you won't be sorry. I promise! http://www.cupidanderos.com/

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.
