So how about the Daytime Emmys? Once again, Best Actor honors were
given to Tony Geary (Luke) and the show's Metro Court hostage crisis
story helped them snap up the Best Show trophy. Geary can act
circles around pretty much anyone, he's daytime royalty (if not the
king) and you'd be mesmerized just watching him read a phone book.
He is in a class by himself, end of story. I would've liked to have
seen Geary joined by other deserving performers from GH who ended up
being overlooked but that's another rant. Congratulations to Mr.
Geary once again!

Best dressed for GH goes to Sonya Eddy (Epiphany) who was one foxy
momma in ravishing purple. Wow. Some of our ladies made some unusual
choices however - I failed to understand the jewelry choice of Megan
Ward (Kate) but I'm trying. Becky Herbst (Elizabeth) looked darling
and I understand she makes her own dresses. Lovely! Now I know who
to call if I ever need an Emmy gown. Tiny piece of advice for our
Becky: I would go with a smaller clutch next time - don't want your
purse to be bigger than you, my dearest. Kirsten Storms (Maxie), who
should've been a nominee and not just a presenter (there I go again)
looked precious in a black and white mini dress. Black and white was
the trend this year, it seems. Sarah Brown (Claudia) also made this
choice and looked divine. Julie Marie Berman (Lulu) was stunning,
but her elaborate dress and sexy hair seemed to be competing with
each other. I would've chosen a sleeker hairstyle to keep attention
on the dress. Just my very humble opinion but since I'm not a
fashion critic, what do I know? I just calls 'em as I sees 'em. As
for our guys, they all looked outrageously yummy, 'nuff said. When
you are having hot flashes just looking at the photos, then what
more is there to say?
Well I can say this: Is this show stuck in a time warp or something?
A reader emailed me and begged me to tell her that Carly is not
really going to be pregnant and that she is really not going to ask
Jason to act as the father. Say what? I don't know for sure if that
is actually going to happen but if it does, then the writers clearly
need to get out more, lest their creativity flatlines. Have we or
have we not already been there, done that and gotten this t-shirt?
So lemme see if I have this straight, God help us all. Carly is
going to claim one night stand with Jason and point the paternity
finger at him to keep Sonny away from his possible unborn spawn? How
close am I? You know, Carly's determination to protect her kids from
Sonny is starting to border on whack job. What was wrong with naming
Jax as the father, seeing that he is your husband? But again, I'm
slightly out of the loop as far as this whole scenario goes so I
don't actually know what is planning to air. But I do know that none
of this sounds even remotely good. Is this actual story? Oh dear.
What's that sound? That is the sound of TV sets being turned off all
across this great land. Jason steps up to the daddy plate for Carly
but still refuses to claim his real son? It's out of my hands.
Anyway, Friday's episode came across as a deliberate comedy of
errors. Dare I say this show is displaying signs of lightening up?
The quarantine scenes with Claudia, Jason and Spinelli were pretty
funny and I still can't figure out how Bradford Anderson manages to
spit out all that wordy ranting without tripping. Spinelli is once
again kicking himself for being a failure, Jason seems to be getting
a migraine and Claudia is watching in amusement. I like the
gentleness she shows towards Spinelli, it's cute and kind of
touching. What wasn't cute was the on-air pitch for that juice, we
all know what it's called, that apparently half the cast swears by.
I saw that and I was like, "Oh no. The nectar of the gods finally
made it on the air." Next up is a sponge bath, administered by
Claudia unto Jason and if his recoiling and protests are any
indication, this should be classic.
Diane finds the ring that Sonny intended for Kate and mistakenly
believes it's for her. "Drinks, Metro Court, NOW," she orders Alexis
after announcing her engagement, which she was obviously not
overjoyed about. Thankfully the misunderstanding was cleared up
fairly quickly and both Max and Diane got out of a sticky situation
with ease. I was also half expecting Carly to really go off on Jax
after hearing about the brawl he got into with Jerry because of
Alexis but she did me proud by honoring the occasion in an
appropriate manner: By howling with laughter!
