Fingerprints.  Schmingerprints.  You're talking cray cray now!!!

Anyone who knows Tracy, knows she's not going to leave an empty vial of Ketamine in her car.  That's amateur hour.  Mac should be smarter than that. In fact, I wish they would have had Mac says something like:  "You and I both know you didn't drug Drew, but I had to bring you in.  Let's play Go Fish for an hour and then I'll release you".  

 

like that episode in greys's anatomy. The Chief is yelling at Bailey but telling her she did a good job, but look upset because people were watching.

Did Mac not check for fingerprints on the ketamine? I'd be surprised if Drew thought to plant Tracy's on the container.

Well Drew is definitely a himbo. But the cops have to be stupid at all time, so probably not.

Can someone glue Cam Mat's arms and hands to his sides?  He waves those things around while he's talking as if he's going to take off flying.  Between the arm waving, the hand gestures with each sentence, walking, stalking, skipping and jumping around it's like watching a demented exercise video.

Somebody's gonna lose an eye.

Drew would look good with an eyepatch, and it would help with his development into a supervillain.

[DanaK]

Loved the veiled cattiness on the red carpet

[ciarra]

Is an empty vial of ketamine proof that Tracy dosed Drew?  It's not like gun ballistics.

Will stupid Willow recognize the same kind of vial that Drew held up last week?

eta:  Was it labeled?  Because Willow seemed to accept that it was vitamins.  If they hold up the vial today and it says "ketamine", I'm going to call b.s.

I remember my teacher telling my class about finding one of our classmates in the schoolyard with alcohol poisoning and taking him to the hospital.  Grade 6.

I can see that, but not in an otherwise healthy person in their late teens.  To reach the doctor quoted .36% BAC would have taken nearly a fifth 80 proof liquor.  And it’s very unlikely that Rocco, not exactly an experienced drinker, wouldn’t have puked a lot of it out before he could fully absorb it.  I doubt I could drink that much liquor in such a short period and hold it all down, and my stomach is like iron.

Tracy to Drew: "Get back on your damn barge."  Have the writers been reading this board?

Drew is obsessed with Sony. That's not a smart person.

Carly is convinced that she will get complete custody of Wylie and Amelia. That's not smart either.

I don't understand why Michael is so feeble that he can't be told about the court case. He can ask for it to be delayed because of his treatment.

Lulu still thinks that Brook Lynn knows that Gio is her son because they got coffee together. Is today the day of "not smart" people? And I'm not even getting into Portia.

 

I’m surprised Sonny just doesn’t fly to Germany and talk to Michael himself.  Or at least make a goddamned phone call.  And wasn’t there dialogue that indicated that Michael has been video calling his kids?

Kristina, for some reason, has been facilitating that. I don't know why Willow can't fire up an iPad herself—oh, wait, Drew probably doesn't let her use electronics without his supervision.

Oh the time in college that I decided to try Bourbon for the first and definitely last time while drinking from a shot glass large enough to hold flowers.  That was an unbelievably messy situation, but no medical intervention was necessary. 

The Nurses Ball is such a cringe fest involving a lot of secondhand embarrassment, so it looks like I'll be watching through my fingers for the next week or so, but I love looking at the clothing! 

[YaddaYadda]

I have to say that I liked Lucy's first outfit, the Nurses' Ball t-shirt and skirt. I thought it looked a lot more elegant than what Emma was wearing.

Poor Emma.

[TVbitch]

Oof, lot of cringe today. Only really entertaining line goes to Dante who deadpanned while Chase was arresting Tracy: "...I hope she doesn't make him use his taser."

You know Carly gets into cat fights, e.g. Robin, Sam. 

She verbally clawed Nina's face about both herself and Willow as mothers asserting that she knows what it really means to be a mother (as if she doesn't have a severely injured child and a dead child because of her own choices), then got hit for it. She hit Nina hard back, and it turned into a brawl that ended with Josslyn running in, pulling back and restraining Nina.

Am I the only one that started yelling “Die Carly!  Die!” At the screen when Nina picked up that marble ornament to bash Cujo ‘s brains in?

Me screaming for the more annoying characters to die is becoming a regular thing .

That fight between Carly and Nina was so bad.  And you know this storyline is absurd when JOSSLYN, of all people, is making sense.

Speaking of bad, shut up, Lulu.  What's next?  Is she now going to fly to New Zealand and discover Camilla was drinking espresso every day, thus "I found another clue that she was never pregnant."  Her ~journalist skills are for the birds.

ScrewLu half assed "Journalism skills" is where people go to die & lives are ruined. The fact that she thinks she's a top notch journalist whose breaking the next big story shows you how much of a bird brain twit, who doesn't have 2 brain cells to rub together she is.

[Sake614]

My thoughts on the dresses:

Nina looked amazing. ditto Molly, Portia and Joss

Jury is out on Lulu and Trina.

Emma. Um, uh, hmmm. Love the color! Yeah that’s the nicest thing I can say about it. Poor kid got the shaft when it came to gowns. Second only to Kristina. what in the HELL was that baby blue thing she wore? It looked like something Donna or Scout would wear. Hell, even Donna looked better than her! 

BLQ in a sequined tuxedo? Well I suppose that’s one way to stay covered up. 

lf course Willow shows up looking like a Disney princess. But I do like the haircut. I always thought she looked better with short hair.

are we taking bets on who called Michael and told him to get his ass back to PC? I’m going with Jason because who else? Carly refused to call him. Sonny didn’t seem inclined to do so. Maybe Diane? I hope it’s a recast and he’s good. 

color me surprised that Alexis actually told Kristina that not only does SHE know what Kristina did, but Ava and Ric do too. And that if Kristina doesn’t STFU they’ll both end up in prison.

while I do truly appreciate Lucy advocating for Llamas, I’d like to see the show advocate for shelter cats and dogs. I know it wouldn’t fit the theme of Lucy and her Duck or Llama, but if we’re advocating for animals, I can’t think of a more worthy cause than shelters. Then again they’re probably afraid a cat or dog would upstage the entire cast. 🤣

[ljr]

Why do they bother with that red carpet interviews ? Looks stupid.

Alexis finally told Kristina she knows about the brakes.

It won't matter even if she does.  He was willing to bulldoze the graves of her children's great grandfather and great great grandparents, because Monica's was a meanie to him and she didn't blink and eye or even question him.  

[JMO]

Ah, the Nurses Ball red carpet, carried live by PCTV and watched only by us, and a lone traveler coming to stir things up.  I enjoy the dress up party of the year, even if I don't particularly enjoy the acts. (Just saw the 2020 virtual ball for the first time, and the acts were better than I expected---not great, but better. Guessing the episode was part of the full year I deleted from the DVR unwatched.)

Loved Tracy grabbing the mic from Drew, didn't love her arrest.  It made Mac look dumb, both in the timing and in choosing Tracy's granddaughter's husband as the person to make the arrest.  Mostly I didn't love it because I wanted to hear JE sing!

Willow's arrival was over the top, and drove home the ridiculousness of her relationship with Drew. 

Glad Alexis told Kristina that she, Rick and Ava all know.  So, will they keep the secret in order for Molly not to know that Kristina nearly accidentally killed her father?  Or will they tell the secret, and let Molly be angry with her father for the blackmail?  I hope Kristina has enough of a reaction that Alexis decides to go forward with having her committed.

Re: Lulu and Dante---considering their relationship, the fact of his having a son is too big a secret to keep.  How many wives, accidentally (through social media, or gossip at a reunion, for example) finding out that their husband has a child, would not tell him?  Then Dante gets to decide if he wants to pursue it or not. And I think she should keep her speculation on the identity of the son to herself unless Dante asks. 

I think Cody and Molly are the most likely to have a good time.  He really can be charming and fun, and Molly can use some of each.

Both Willow and someone else (maybe Carly? or NIna?) said that Michael didn't want to deal with Willow directly, so Kristina and Monica have been getting the kids on zoom with him. 

best dressed: Donna, Nina, Jordan, Tracy, Olivia,  Molly-seriously, she was ridiculously stunning, 

 worst dressed:  Lulu, Brook Lynn (-seriously what in the what was she wearing )

 the jury is still out on: Emma -(the dress wasn't bad but I didn't like the color on her.  Willow, loved the color and the hair, but I didn't like the flower thing down the front of the dress)

[Winston Wolfe]

Oh Drew, you've no idea what you've done. As they used to say back in the day, "Your mouth just wrote a check that your behind can't cover." Tracy's coming for ya, dude.

She is correct about Lois, although Lois could not have known that Camilla would die and Gio would need a home with her. But Lulu is determined to smear Brook Lynn with being a liar and a cheat even though she saw how Brook Lynn reacted to hearing the news that the baby was a boy.

Part of her wants Dante to know his child but it feels like more of the push is to hurt Brook Lynn., like the rigmarole of hunting down Camilla's former quartet mates when she could just do a DNA test. Why so determined? Because Brook Lynn tried to seduce Dante earlier? Ironic since Carly, who created the situation, is now Lulu's BFF in this.

I would love it if either Lois or BLQ ( or maybe both?) ends up besting hell out of NuNuLulu……. Bensonhurst style.

[Artsda]

I really wish Tracy would point out Sonny murdered AJ while he's being defended by Dante and Brooklyn even praising his dimples in the Quartermaine living room. While his mother is upstairs. 

Drew is stupid blaming Tracy for the drugging.  

Chase could have waited. He keeps volunteering himself to arrest his family member. 

Maxie is sick? This is a poor turnout. 

Why are some hiding Drew affair with his nephew wife while they're flaunting it on the red carpet. Carly's nanny cam video isn't going to have much impact.

That's looks like Sonny's jet and mysterious person looks like he is dressed up for the Nurses Ball. I hope it is Michael because no one else would care to see the Puble Access Chanel coverage of Drew and Willow making out at the Nurses Ball. I am also hoping that Michael was re-recasted with Drew Garret.

I went back to look but when Willow made out with Drew in front of all the reporters, she was still wearing her wedding ring. TACKY.

 

Hmm. I blame Jordan doomed to failure plan of going undercover probono for Isaiah being a friendly ear to Willow and now Portia. He needs to leave these messy people alone.

I am going to hate Drew even more if we don't get to see Tracy sing with the other women of GH.

Brook Lynn does not now, nor has she ever, cared about Monica's feelings. She was raised by Lois and her Cerullo grandparents to love and adore Sonny.

No, Felicia said Maxie is home taking care of Bailey Lou because she is sick.

Dante looked like such an ass, standing there in the Q mansion, where he is freeloading, gazing on the fart in the elevator he invited over.  And then took her to ride in the car with Brook Lynn and Chase, neither of whom can stand her.  I really don't know who he thinks he is, but I cannot stand Dante at this point.

Seconded. I mean, llamas? How many people have the space and $ to take care of a llama.

And thank goodness Kristina knows that Alexis, Ric and Ava know about her attempted murder. Maybe she will stop acting like she's got any moral high ground. This actress is just incapable of nuance. 

And the show couldn't spring for one extra to arrest Tracy, they had to ask Chase to do it!?;?

( Shallow note: has Carly worn that blue dress before? I swear I've seen it previously, either on her, or someone else, at some function. One of the weddings maybe.)

[Perkie]

As of 14 hours ago, but take with a grain of salt....

 

It’s been months since General Hospital fans saw Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) on-screen.   With the Nurses Ball and May sweeps in full swing, the show’s poised for a Michael return. A mysterious man on an airplane, watching Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) on the Nurses Ball red carpet, points to Michael coming home.

The General Hospital preview teased a shocking arrival at the Nurses Ball, setting the stage for Michael to make a grand entrance.  It won’t be Duell in the role, though. Even though fans want Duell to return, the actor has moved on to other projects.

Since GH plans to keep mum about the recast, fans will have to keep tuning in to find out who takes over the role.  

The good news is that the new Michael will be revealed very soon.

It would be so much better if Michael hid from Drew and Willow until the court date.  His arrival there would blow up their whole plan to paint him as an absentee father.  Which itself is ludicrous since he's in a BURN UNIT.  I'm glad he is returning though, I personally feel that he is sorely needed on canvas and this storyline doesn't work well without him. 

[GHScorpiosRule]

I miss the ORIGINAL Nurses Ball. Not this cheap craptastic version that Ron and then Frank resurrected, along with the eye roll worthy of "red carpet" because the ORIGINAL was a local event, and not an award show.

Plus, the actors did the singing, skits, etc.

BAH!

Lulu strongly suspects that the kid is Gio, but she doesn't know for sure, mostly because she's doing all of the wrong things to find out.  If she waits too long to tell Dante, she may well have stumbled upon the truth.  But until Lulu is sure, it would have to be up to Dante to decide if he wants to know, if he wants to pursue knowing the identity, and then if he wants to make contact.  And, of course, they would also have to decide whether to tell Brook Lynn what they know.  Pretty sure Dante would insist, but Lulu may be petty enough not to want to.

It's hard to talk about these things in the abstract, because we all know who it is and how intertwined he already is in their lives.  If it was an unknown person somewhere out there in the world, our conversations would probably be very different.

I can't imagine Lulu saying to Dante, "Oh, by the way, BL got pregnant that summer you were at camp together, and she gave birth and gave up the child without telling you," and leaving it at that. If she wasn't absolutely sure it was Gio then, she'd make all sorts of comments like "Maybe Lois knows/I might have a lead/etc." Lulu is not subtle.

We know and even Girl Reporter knows that Gio does not know he was adopted. If he doesn’t know then it is not Lulu’s business to reveal it and disrupting his entire life.

If it was someone else Lulu has even less rights to looking for this  child just so she can play hero for Dante and make BLQh the bad guy.

[KerleyQ]

I honestly don't even care how convoluted it would be, but I want Michael to somehow know about Drew and Nina and announce that in front of everyone at the Nurse's Ball. I also want him to go off on his mother for pursuing this custody case behind his back, acting like he couldn't possibly know his own mind on the subject or needed protection from making his own decisions. 

I also hope they're not fully committed to what they're doing with him until they see what kind of chemistry NuMichael (whoever that may be) has with various people. 

Molly and Cody are way more charming than they have the right to be, based on their writing so far. I'm chalking that up almost entirely to JK's charisma. I am assuming that Molly is going to find out the truth about Ric's accident soon, and that everyone in her life knew and kept it from her, which will lead to her turning more and more to Cody.

I finally saw some of that charisma, which I think was Josh being himself in those flashes of pictures being taken of Cody and Molly.

Another thing I noticed, and only because I recall him hosting one of the Daytime Emmys-it seemed Cameron was being himself and not Drew for some of the notCatty announcements and dialogue. It was a weird disconnect.

And I don't think it's too much to ask that Dante actually SHAVE for this event?

BLQ *is* the bad guy where Dante is concerned. She tried to break up Dante's relationship. She drugged and nearly raped him. She's lied to him for 20 years about a child of his she had and gave up for adoption. She did all of the above all the while telling him she's his friend. 

Yes, she has every right to do with her body, and the child what she chose. That she stayed in Dante's life, and did awful things to him, sought his forgiveness, and plays friend to him while keeping that information from him is where she crossed the line.

BLQ is the bad guy when it comes to Dante. Lulu seeing it that way is the only thing that makes sense from her perspective. Why, how would she see this woman who has treated the man she loves so horribly as anything other than the bad guy?

[statsgirl]

The Nurses Ball is is always so cringey and much of it is the mediocre acts while the actors look like they are the best things ever done.  Same with the red carpet, these are people we see every episode doing awful things and suddenly the show acts like they are special enough to be on a red carpet.

Thank goodness Alexis finally talked to Kristina.

Gio is first chair in the PCI orchestra?  Give me a break. And is he playing the violin or exercising?

They really should have let JE do "These boots are made for walking". Can you imagine how she would have sold it?   BA was just so wrong.

Portia thinks that changing Heather's test results is a hospital matter? For those of us who didn't like how Curtis treated Jordan for not being open about her job, it was sweet to hear him.

Lulu, talking to Lois can wait till tomorrow. Try to have the self-control of an adult. You're not 3 years old any more.

Dante is a police officer who moved into the Q mansion because he was the only reliable parent that Monica's grandchildren, Danny and Scout, had after their mother died. Dante's mother/Rocco's grandmother and Danny and Scout's grandmother both live there. 

Lois is the freeloader. She showed up at the Quartermaine mansion uninvited when Brook Lynn wasn't even living there and wasn't engaged to Chase yet. That reminds me, why are they still living there. It was almost a year ago that they decided to move in "for the summer" while they had custody of Violet. Once Violet returned to Finn, they intended to move back to Chase's apartment and move on with their lives. They could have left at any time if lying to and being around Dante and Rocco every day is so horrible. 

The opening "Nurse's Ball" number featured four recognizable GH staff members and a lot of extras. Isaiah Gannon was the only one of four I found entertaining although nurse Amy has a pretty voice. 

The Show devoted significant screen time to Gio dramatically playing violin alone on stage. Olivia being emotional was a bit much since she doesn't know the truth yet. You'd think Gio playing at the Nurse's Ball was the most fabulous thing Lois and Olivia had ever seen in their entire lives. Hey Brook Lynn, Dante is not required to change his mind and gush with compliments because others think he is just sooo amazing.

Second hand embarrassment for Spinelli in a sparkly cowboy hat, singing, as a replacement for Tracy with Felicia, Anna and Lucy.

Willow is still wearing her rings from Michael as she tells Josslyn her children belong with her and she's moving on with Drew. Girrlll, so pathetic.

I liked NLG's look when Kristina suggested to Alexis that they could get help for the attempted murder/blackmail mess from "my dad." Of course Kristina has to have the reality spelled out to her from her attorney mother.

I really thought Lois would have a hot mic as Lulu confronted her.

if it can also come out that Michael screwed Sasha and is carrying his baby, i'm all for it. Sasha needs to have that bubble popped too. 

[JMO]

Alexis should have had the same conversation, absent the blackmail that wouldn't exist, with Kristina the day she found out.  No, it's not a mother's job to protect/shelter her dysfunctional child. It's her job to help her child see the dysfunction and seek professional help.  That entire story is a mess.  

Part of me is disappointed with Lulu for pushing the issue with Lois, but on the other hand, it's probably the best way to find out if Gio has ever even suspected being adopted.  

I missed seeing Lucas in the opening act.  The act made me miss the nurses of yesteryear--Bobbie, Epiphany, Felix and even longer ago, Jessie, Audrey, Amy.  

Above all, I'm unhappy that the writers deprived us of hearing Tracy sing (or recite) "One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you" while staring daggers at Drew.

[PatsyandEddie]

I totally enjoyed the ball today. Gio was great. Violin affects me emotionally and I have cried while listening. Studies have shown it affects parts of the brain which can triggers tingles or tears. 
Spinelli and the ladies were corny and comical. It’s obvious that FH has a dancing background. JE would have been simply fabulous !
Drew storming into the ladies room on his white horse looked like a giant asshole. Too bad Willow is too dickmatized to see his manipulations. It’s passed time to take off your rings Willow. I’d admire her courage in confrontations if she wasn’t spouting Drew’s words and ideas instead of her own. 
Isaiah can fill out a tux . Damn!

So Dante has the nerve to stand in the  Q house and is all "Oh well, we all love Sonny get over it Tracy?" 

He Killed the Woman's Son of the House You are Living In.

Olivia really overdid her reactions to Gio's playing, but that's Olivia. He's very good, but it's the Nurses Ball, not the finals of America's Got Talent or something. It's not even Eurovision, lol. News flash, Lulu: People are allowed to think GIo's amazing and not be his biological family.

Silly me. I forgot that bringing a glass to your lips and liking pasta are also irrefutable evidence of genetic links.
