What I Watched Today
(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)
General Hospital
At the MetroCourt, Violet plays with a snowglobe, and tells Finn that she loves making the snow fall. He says, it was a very thoughtful gift from her Uncle Chase, and she asks where Anna is; she wants to show her. Finn says, she’ll be here. She’s almost never late. Violet folds her arms, and says, she was late for his wedding, and he says she’s right. Anna runs in, and kisses Violet, saying, she hopes she’s not late. Is she? Violet and Finn laugh.
Drew walks into Kelly’s, and Elizabeth goes to him. She says she heard he was back. She heard he was alive. He says he’s so happy to see her, and hugs her. Sitting at the counter, Trina smiles.
Brook tells Bailey that she loves the little tree. She knows it’s smaller than the rest of them in the house, but there’s something charming about it. Maybe it’s because it’s the one Drew decorated with his daughter. This time next year, Bailey will be celebrating Christmas with Maxie. She’ll be fine… just fine. Valentin knocks, and asks if they can come in. Charlotte has a gift for Bailey. (Please note, new Charlotte. See below.)
Outside Kelly’s, Nikolas tells Trina, beautiful scarf. Knowing her taste in art, he’s not surprised.
Ava orders a vodka martini at Charlie’s; dirty, healthy. Victor puts his shopping bag down on the chair next to her, and says, make that two.
Dressed like an elf, Spencer tells the kids at the hospital that it looks like they’re ready to meet Santa Clause. He’s going to be here soon. He tells Cameron that he’s all for costumes. Cameron should have seen his wardrobe when he played Hamlet, but he’s feeling more preppie than Santa’s helper right now. Cameron says he’s got to get into the holiday spirit. Just be grateful he’s missing his shift at Kelly’s to volunteer. Spencer says he needs to find something else to motivate him, when Esme comes out, and twirls around in her short elf dress. She asks if he likes her outfit, and he says he thinks he knows what he wants for Christmas. She says, that depends on if he’s nice or naughty, and Lucy joins them. She tells them, places please. Santa is about to appear. They get in position, and Lucy tells the kids, guess what time it is? May I introduce, direct from the North Pole, the one and only Santa Clause. Doc comes out in a Santa suit, and says, ho-ho-ho! Merry Christmas! He wants to know what everyone wants in their stockings or under the tree. Laura comes in, and says, hey, Santa, got anything in that bag for me?
Finn says, Anna is right on time. Isn’t she, Violet? He winks at Violet, and she says, right on time. She shows Anna the snowglobe, and says, look what happens when you shake it. Anna says, it’s so magical, isn’t it? Her daddy is so good at finding things like this. Violet says her Uncle Chase gave it to her, and Finn says, Chase is a good guy. What he did was book the special holiday tea for two. He knows how much they love high tea, so he’s leaving Violet with Anna, but will be back in plenty of time to take her to the tree lighting in Rice Plaza. Violet asks why he doesn’t stay; it will be more fun with the three of them. Please.
Lucy tells Laura, that was certainly a splashy entrance. Welcome back, but Santa has a job to do. Doc says, the kids will be fine for another five minutes, and puts his arm around Laura. He says he’s thrilled to see her, but why didn’t she let him know she was coming home? She thanks the woman Victor called Mayor Ashley, whose name is apparently Eileen, for minding the store while she was gone. Eileen says, it’s a gift to the people of Port Charles to have Laura back, and leaves.
Drew asks Elizabeth how Jake is doing. He’s been thinking about Jake because of Jason. He’s got to be having a hard time. She says, Jason’s death hit him really hard. Even though he wasn’t a hands on day-to-day dad, Jason was still a presence in Jake’s life. Jake always knew he was there, and now he’s not. He says he wouldn’t blame Jake, or her for that matter, for resenting him because Jason died trying to save his life. She says, Jason was the kind of man who always ran toward danger, not away from it. He died a hero. Even if Jake can’t appreciate it right now, one day he’ll see the amazing legacy his dad left for him. It’s just really bad timing; almost a year to the day the boys lost their stepdad. He says, that’s a lot of loss, the kind that makes kids grow up fast, probably too fast, and she says, it’s been rough. What about him? Not only did he lose Jason, he and Franco were close when they were boys. He says, it’s a lot to wrap his head around. He’s incredibly grateful to be home with his daughter, but to lose Jason and Franco, it’s a lot.
Valentin tells Brook, relax; it’s just a friendly visit. He and Charlotte have discussed it, and Charlotte knows Bailey was never his daughter. Charlotte says, Bailey’s not her sister, but that doesn’t mean she’s stopped loving her. Funny thing is, when papa first told her that she was going to be a big sister, she wasn’t excited. She didn’t like the idea of having to share her father. But then, Bailey was born, and she couldn’t help but fall in love with her. Brook says she knows the feeling. Bailey is just lighting up at the sound of Charlotte’s voice; Valentin’s too. Charlotte says, she bought this when she thought Bailey was her sister, and still wants her to have it.
Trina says she’s sorry, but she doesn’t have time to talk to Nikolas. She has to get back to campus. He says, please. Just five minutes. That’s all he’s asking. She asks what he wants, and he says, Ava values her judgement. He has a choice to make, and he’s not sure which is the right one for Ava’s Christmas present. He takes out two boxes, and says, the emeralds or the rubies. He shows her two bracelets, and asks, which one says Ava?
Ava says she’s changed her mind; forget the drink. Victor says, not on his account. He wishes she wouldn’t. After all, it is a festive season and they are family. Shouldn’t they be getting to know each other a little better? She asks if he followed her there, and he says he did. He’s not going to lie. He was going to drop by Windymere and leave these gifts under the tree, but since his last reception there, he thought maybe he could just leave them with her.
Laura says she’s glad to be back with her family, and wants to hear about Cameron’s freshman year at PCU. And Spencer… She hugs him, and he says he knows; he’s a disappointment. She says, not at all. Doc told her that Spencer made some mistakes, and he’s taking responsibility for his actions. She’s proud of him for that. Esme tells Laura, welcome back. She’s not sure if Laura remembers her, but Laura says, how could she forget her grandson’s special someone? Lucy comes back, and says she loves family reunions, but just a gentle reminder, there’s a line of kids waiting to see Santa. So could they hurry up a bit? She’s going to pass out Deception samples to the parents to buy time. Could Cameron, Spencer, and Esme entertain them? Juggle, throw things, just do something to make them happy. The elves leave, and Doc tells Laura, he hates to disappoint anyone, but Santa could use some one-on-one time with Mrs. Clause. She says, her too, so she brought Santa’s understudy. She motions with her hand, and another Santa comes out, saying, ho-ho-ho, and a bowl full of jelly and all that. It’s Martin, and he tells Doc to beat it. He’s got this.
Violet asks Finn if she can go see the gingerbread house. It’s even bigger than last year. He says, it is, and tells her to go have a look, but don’t touch. She leaves, and he calls out that he’s watching her. Anna says, come on. Violet knows better than to stick her finger in the gingerbread, especially since she has him wrapped around it. He says he’s not going to try denying it. His daughter found a place in his heart he never knew existed. She says, it’s lovely to see. He’s made a lovely home for her. He says Violet has given him more than he could ever give back to her, and she says, that’s what kids do. No one is ever going to replace Robin for her. But they do grow up and have children of their own, and sometimes even their own Christmas tree. He asks if she’s trying to make him sad thinking about Violet as an adult, and she says, it’s inevitable, whether he likes it or not. It makes her wonder, who’s going to sit by the fire with Finn on those long winter nights? Or has he already found her?
Elizabeth says she knows if Franco were here, he’d say Drew repaid him ten times over for him protecting Drew when they were little boys. He says, all he did was offer his friendship, and she says, to most people, Franco was still an outsider, and Drew always treated him with respect and kindness, and that was everything. Drew says he’s just sorry he got stuck in that prison in Crete. Maybe if he’d escaped earlier, he could have stopped Peter from doing his worst. The boys would still have their stepdad, and Jake would still have his father. She says, at least he’s back home, and it’s over, thank goodness, and he says, it’s his fault for looking backwards. He told himself that in coming home, he would not be a prisoner of the past. She says, sounds like a very smart idea, and he says, what about her? Is it too soon, or is she ready to turn the page and find someone special?
Brook asks Charlotte to put the gift under the big tree in the foyer. She’ll make sure Bailey gets it Christmas morning. Valentin says, they have another gift as well, and puts a bottle of champagne on the kitchen island. Brook says he didn’t have to do that, and he says he didn’t. It’s for Monica from Yuri. Brook says, how sweet. She guesses Yuri didn’t realize, Monica doesn’t drink. Charlotte asks if she can give Bailey a ride in her stroller. She promises not to go too fast. Brook says, sure. She thinks Bailey would like that. Charlotte says she’s going to show Bailey the big tree and teach her how to say Merry Christmas in French. She takes Bailey out in the stroller, and Valentin thanks Brook for letting her spend time with Bailey. She’s putting on a brave face, but it hasn’t been easy for her letting go. Brook says she knows the feeling, and he asks if she’s sad. He doesn’t know why, because this Christmas, she has everything she could ask for, doesn’t she?
Trina tells Nikolas, if money’s not an option, don’t break up the set. Nothing says Christmas like red and green. Nikolas says Trina not only has Ava’s taste, but her nerve. No wonder Ava likes her so much. And she’s right. Ava can wear one on Christmas, and the other on New Year’s Eve. He thanks her, and starts to leave, but Trina says, wait. He said there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for Ava, so why can’t he do the same for Spencer?
Victor is glad Ava didn’t cancel her drink. He doesn’t blame her for being skeptical, but the best Christmas gift he has isn’t in the shopping bags. Ava says, he’s leaving town? and he laughs, saying, she’ll have to wait and see. It’s a surprise, but if it brings peace and good will to men, it’s the perfect gift for the whole family. Unless of course (🍷) she thinks it’s in Nikolas’s best interest, and her own, for Spencer to remain at odds with his father. She says, that’s between Nikolas and Spencer, and he says she knows better than that. Nikolas is torn between his love for his wife and his love for his son. He’d hoped she could see past Spencer’s transgressions. Chalk his theatrics up to being part of his Cassadine DNA. She says, he used her little girl. That’s more than a transgression as far as she’s concerned. He says, call it a mistake, call it a bad decision, but that young man has a lot of potential. The real crime is letting it go to waste. From where he sees it, it’s up to his elders to do what’s best for him. She says, the way he did his best for Hayden and her mother?
Spencer tells the kids to be good while they’re in line. It’s almost time, and they don’t want to be added to the naughty list this late in the year. Cameron says, it seems like Spencer’s talents are being wasted at Kelly’s. He has a bright future as a traffic cop. Esme says he heard what Mayor Collins said; Spence has a bright future ahead of him. Spencer says, if Victor comes through for him, she might be right, and Cameron asks what he means. Lucy comes by, and says, will they look at Doc. He’s really giving it his all. She thinks this is the best year ever. Cameron says, she should know that… and Lucy says, treats. They’re almost out of Christmas goodies. Could they dash over to Kelly’s and grab a few, in case the kids want to stampede? Anything. Candy canes would be really nice. They leave, and Lucy watches Santa, smiling.
Doc and Laura kiss, and she says, why Santa, what’s come over you? He says, Rudolph’s nose isn’t the only thing that glows, and she laughs. She says she still has her civic duty to do. She has to light up the community Christmas tree, and he says, he knows, but how is it that she was able to come home now, after all this time? She says, as it turns out, the safe house – she closes the blind on the door – wasn’t so safe. There was an attempt on their lives. He says, what? and she says, the FBI has the woman who attacked them, and they say it was just a one-off, and that there’s nobody else out there who’s coming after them. But yesterday, she took a little trip to the Midwest, and went to see Cyrus in prison, and confronted him. He swears he had nothing to do with this. He told her that he’d found God. Doc says, of course (🍷) he did; he’s lying… He’s not lying? She says she doesn’t know. He was really convincing. She can’t be sure, but Cyrus isn’t the only threat out there. There’s another one looming, and it’s right inside their own family.
Finn says, Violet is so fascinated with the gingerbread house, she forgot about her dessert. Anna says he forgot to answer her question, and he says, what’s the question? She says he’s a wonderful doctor. He could be a genius actually, but when it comes to his feelings, he’s a little clueless. She told him that she was really glad he and Elizabeth didn’t have Peter’s death on their conscience, not to mention any of the legal ramifications. It really is a lousy way to start a relationship. He says, awkward first date. In that sense, he and Elizabeth don’t have a relationship. She says, okay. Sorry. She misread the signals. It’s really none of her business. Finn says, in the spirit of full disclosure, that could change if and when Elizabeth is ready. She asks if he’s ready, and he says, are they really going to do this? Is that where they are? Exes that talk about their current love life? He doesn’t know if he’s ready for that. How about her? Is she over him? She looks over him. So is she seeing someone new? She says they were talking about him and Elizabeth, and he laughs, saying, now who’s dodging the questions?
Elizabeth fiddles with her wedding ring, and tells Drew, she has her hands full at work, not to mention, being a single mom to three brilliant, willful, slightly impossible boys. He says, in other words, there is someone, and she says, there might be if she was looking, but she’s not looking. Around Christmas and New Year’s there are so many reminders of Franco. He says, she’s doing it again, and she says, what? He says, what they claimed they wouldn’t do; look backwards to the past. She tells him, he said that; she never did. He says, her wedding ring says it all for her. Speaking as someone who knows what it’s like to love her and to be loved by her in return, whoever it is doesn’t know what he’s missing.
Brook tells Valentin that she’s emotional because of Christmas. Hasn’t he heard? For some people, it’s the most depressing time of year. He says, maybe for those people. They don’t have a beautiful daughter like Bailey. She says, don’t get her wrong, she knows how blessed she is, but seeing the hurt on Charlotte’s face… She just hates knowing she’s responsible. Believe it or not, she hates knowing what she did to him too. He says she got the ELQ shares, but she says she didn’t do it for the shares… She did, but it’s not the only reason. He asks, what other reason? Maybe it would make sense if Bailey’s father was dangerous, was a threat, and Brook lied to protect her. Chase is about as upstanding a man as she’s going to find, so what is her other justification for convincing him Bailey was his daughter?
Trina says, Nikolas once said he was glad Spencer had a friend like her, but he’s the one Spencer looks up to. His approval means the world to Spencer, and his disapproval crushes him. So while he’s giving out Christmas presents this year, why not give Spencer what he really wants; a second chance. Spencer comes by with Esme and Cameron, and asks what Nikolas is doing here. What’s going on?
Victor says he takes care of his family. Doesn’t Ava do the same, whatever it takes? He’s no threat to her, only to those who threaten the people they both love. Ava says, he’s good, a little too good for her taste. She drains her drink, and says, if he’ll excuse her, she’s off to meet Nikolas for a little harmless holiday cheer. He says, the tree lighting at Rice Plaza. He’s headed there himself. Perhaps she’ll allow him to escort her. She says, she’ll be fine; it’s a short walk. He says, come on. They’re headed the same way. What’s that quaint phrase you American’s have? There’s safety in numbers? It may be a festive season, but danger still lurks behind every corner. She says, tell her about it. By the way, the British accent is a nice touch. He thanks her, and says he worked hard to achieve it, as he does everything else.
Santa/Martin tells a little girl that he’s not sure he can get everything on her list, but he and his reindeer will do their best. He tells her to go back to her mother and father. They’re going to need all the help they can get. There are no more kids, and Lucy says, finally, Santa baby. She sits on his lap, and says, guess what she wants for Christmas?
Laura says, so it’s true Victor’s been released, and Doc says, apparently he made a deal with the WSB, and traded information for freedom. She says, no surprise there; he’s a clever negotiator. He says, from what he hears, Victor has been ingratiating himself with both Nikolas and Spencer, and she says, that’s what she was afraid of. He asks if she thinks Victor is up to something other than reuniting his family, and she says, experience has taught her, when the Cassadines are playing nice, that’s when they’re the most dangerous.
Lucy says, wait a minute. There’s something very different about you, Santa. She pulls down his beard, and Martin says, do tell. She says, you are not Kevin.
Eileen knocks at the door, and tells Laura, the tree lighting. Laura says she’ll be right there, and Eileen leaves. Doc says, if she’s right about Victor, maybe she should sit this one out until they know more, but she says she’s done hiding. She was away from him and her community for too long. Victor is going to think he’s untouchable, and she’s going to let him think that until she knows what game he’s playing. Eileen stands outside the door.
Brook asks if Valentin hasn’t done the wrong thing for all the right reasons. She was trying to protect Bailey. He says, is Bailey in some kind of danger? when Charlotte comes back. She says she helped the baby nurse put Bailey down for her nap. She forgot how much she enjoyed doing that. She asks Valentin if they can go now, and Brook says, don’t let her hold them up. She tells Charlotte that it was sweet of her to get the gift. She has something for Charlotte, but it’s on backorder. Valentin says, this conversation isn’t over, and she tells him, merry Christmas.
Anna says, Finn is right. She shouldn’t be asking about his personal life any more than he should be asking about hers. He says, so she has one, but she says, not at all. Since they broke up, she’s been halfway around the world and back, trying to bring Peter to justice. She’s had no time for anything else. He says, from what he understands, she’s been able to spend time with Valentin. He was with her on her search for Peter, and he knows she didn’t leave Valentin’s bedside after he was shot. She says she was concerned about him. He says, she knows what he thinks of the guy, but it doesn’t matter. He probably doesn’t think anyone is good enough for her. It would seem she and Valentin have been circling each other for years. Maybe she wants to take some time to figure out why.
Cameron sees Drew in Kelly’s, and Drew says, Elizabeth can’t tell him this is Cameron. Cameron tells him, do not say it. Drew doesn’t get to tell him how much he’s grown. Drew says he wouldn’t dream of it, and they hug. Cameron says he’d love to catch up, but as Drew can see, he’s currently in the service of Santa, and the North Pole is dangerously low on treats right now. Elizabeth says, if she knows Monica, she has Drew locked in for Christmas dinner at the Quartermaines, but if he wants to come by their house for dessert, Aiden’s baking up a storm. He says he’d love it. In the meantime, merry Christmas. Cameron says if he were Drew, he’d leave by the back entrance. He wouldn’t want to get caught between Spencer and his dad right now.
Trina tells Spencer that his dad was just asking her opinion, and Spencer says, about what? Him? Where he’s living? Where he’s working? She says, no. He was asking about a gift for Ava. Spencer says, of course (🍷) that’s what it’s about, because there’s no pleasing him. Esme says, Trina does have fabulous taste, and Nikolas thanks Trina again. He says, he’s off to see Ava at the tree lighting, and Spencer says he guesses Nikolas is going to see her. Nikolas says, Ava? Yeah. But Spencer says his grandmother is back. She called to let him know, and probably would have done the same with Nikolas, but she’s siding with him. Pair that with Great Uncle Victor, and Nikolas is outnumbered.
At Rice Plaza, Victor’s phone rings, and he tells Ava, this must be about the surprise he mentioned. He answers, and Eileen says she has news. She thought he should know she’s back, and on her way to the tree lighting in Rice Plaza. He says he sees. So they’re in for quite the holiday reunion. He goes back to Ava, and she says, problem? He says, nothing he can’t handle.
Valentin and Charlotte walk into the MetroCourt, and Anna runs up to Charlotte and hugs her. She says, Violet was just here, but they’ve gone to Rice Plaza for the Christmas tree lighting. Charlotte doesn’t want to miss that, does she? Charlotte says, they were just at the Quartermaines, delivering a Christmas gift to Bailey, and Valentin says he doesn’t think either one of them is in the mood for a crowd. She says she understands. Merry Christmas. It’s good to see them. They go to a table, and Anna starts to leave, but turns back.
Cameron tells Elizabeth, GH is fully stocked with Christmas goodies. Does she want to go to the tree lighting? She says she’s on call, but go have fun with his friends. He says, she’s pulling a double shift? and she says, Christmas is the perfect time to make some extra money. He asks if that’s the reason she’s doing that, or is she hiding from the crappy year they just had? Just like Jake is hiding in his room, and Aiden is pretending to be happy when he really isn’t. That leaves him, happy with his girlfriend, but how can he be happy when the family he loves isn’t? She says, please don’t do that. It’s his first holiday season with a girlfriend. He should be happy, and none of them should be prisoners of the past. He says, if she really means that, there’s a way she can help with that.
Esme tells Spencer, just because his dad is going to see the tree with Ava doesn’t mean they can’t enjoy themselves. It’s not Christmas in Paris, but it sounds all-American and quaint. Spencer says Trina should come with them, and Esme says, the more the merrier. Trina says, what about Cam? Are they going to leave him deal with getting the treats back to GH? Spencer says, he loves it. Some people are just cut out to be elves.
Cameron tells Elizabeth, they both know the best way to let Jake and Aiden know it’s okay to be happy, is for them to be happy. She says she told them that, but he says she hasn’t shown them that. They’re following her example. Trina comes in, and says, good, Cameron is still here. He says he just got back, and she says, we’re going to the tree lighting. Does he want to come? Elizabeth tells him, go; be with his friends. She promises to think about what he said. He tells her that he loves her, and she says she loves him too, and he leaves with Trina.
Drew goes back to the Quartermaines, and sees Brook looking at the little tree. He says he knows it doesn’t compare to the huge one in the foyer, but he decorated it with Scout, which makes it his favorite. She says, Scout is lucky to have her dad back, and he says, back atcha. Bailey is lucky to have her as a mom. She looks sad, and he says, that was a complement. What’s wrong? She says, nothing a little champagne won’t fix. Poor Yuri got it for Monica. He didn’t realize she doesn’t drink. Besides, she needs it more than Monica.
Nikolas arrives at Rice Plaza, and Victor says he’s glad Nikolas could join them. He and Ava just had the most illuminating chat. Laura and Doc join them, and Nikolas says he heard rumors Laura was home, and hugs her. Ava says, it’s so nice to have her back, and hugs her too. Doc says, amen to that, and Laura says, hello, Victor. For a dead man, his timing is impeccable. He says she’s looking lovely as ever. He just wishes he’d gotten there sooner. He calls to Spencer to bring his friends over. He has news to share. He just got word from the prosecutor, and may have found a way to solve Spencer’s legal problems. Spencer thanks him, hugging him and saying, he knew Victor wouldn’t let him down. Laura says, don’t be too excited just yet; she’s sure there’s a catch. Victor says, no catch. All Spencer has to do is change his plea to guilty, and perform just 500 hours of community service, make restitution to the victim, and here’s the best part. He’ll only have to serve 30 days at Spring Ridge. Soap looks all around.
Brook says, this will be a first; champagne from Belarus. Cheers. They take a sip, and he says, not bad. Can he see the bottle? He looks at it, and says, non-alcoholic. She laughs, and says, Yuri really does now Monica. Oh well. Beggars can’t be choosers. Here is to better times. They clink glasses.
Anna tells Charlotte that she just had the Bûche de Noël; it was so delicious, to die for. Charlotte says she was just telling papa that, and Valentin says she and Anna have something in common. Anna says, so it seems, and Charlotte asks if she wants some more. Anna says, it couldn’t hurt, and Valentin pulls up a chair, saying, have a seat. She thanks him.
Violet tells Finn that she can’t wait to see the big tree lit up, and he says, they say you can see the lights for miles. She asks if her mommy can see it, and he says, maybe; he hopes so. Violet says, but she can see it, can’t she? He asks if she means Anna, and she says, Anna is nice, but so is Aunt Elizabeth.
Martin says he hopes he wasn’t too much of a disappointment, and asks if Lucy will join him for dinner. She says, he was actually very, very good, and she was very impressed. But what about that belly and his beard? He says, what about them? They’ll probably guaranteed to get them the best table in the house. She takes his arm.
Spencer says, he’s going to prison? and Victor says, hardly. It’s a month in a minimum security facility. It was the best deal he could make. Trina says she knows a month at Spring Ridge seems scary, but think of the alternative; one to five years at Pentenville. Esme says they visited Spencer’s aunt at Spring Ridge. He knows it’s not that bad. And she’s interning there. They’ll get to see each other all the time. Spencer says, Laura is the mayor. There has to be something she can do to help him out here. Laura says, she’ll always do whatever she can to help him, when Eileen gets on the microphone, and says, happy holidays, everyone. Before they light the tree, she wants them to give a big welcome to their mayor, Laura Collins. Everyone applauds, and Laura tells them, may she just say to her family and friends, and to all the citizens of Port Charles, she’s so grateful to be home for the holidays. It’s a time for old memories, and new beginnings. A time when the world lies in darkness, only to be graced by a light from above. The tree is lit, and she says, may that light glow among all of them. Doc walks over to her, and she says, not just today, but always. Everyone smiles.
Tomorrow, Chase says he’s all for that, Shawn asks Alexis if she’s ready to be surprised, Michael says that’s what he likes to hear, and Brando asks Sasha to come home with him.
👧🏼 Who’s That Girl…?
I was pretty surprised when I saw a new Charlotte. At first, I thought maybe she was a temp, and Scarlett Fernandez was sick or something, but when that happens, they usually have a voiceover telling you. The articles are vague as to why, but it sounds like it’s because the family moved. It’s definitely not because they’re aging her up, so at least I didn’t have to wonder who on earth she was, like I did with Spencer. It’s a shame though. Scarlett was very good. The jury is still out for the new kid.
🏃🏽♀️ Dashing Through No Snow…
That’s it for today, but join me tomorrow for soap and what’s going on in the OC. It looks like Bravo has movies on Thursday, and I think GH is a rerun this Friday (Christmas Eve). So until the morrow, stay safe, stay not letting the media influence your holidays, and stay always double-checking before you sit on Santa’s lap. Or not.
What I Watched - TV With Theresa
