I like Sabrina, but seriously, how has the show convinced itself this is a necessary NB tradition now? It's not. It is a decent set up for having Sabrina arrested but they probably would have had her sing it no matter what her story was.

Don't even get me started, pls. And it's not even about how I feel about Sabrina. I may not like her, but even if I'm unbiased about it, I still don't understand this show treating her like she's THIS important.

The fact that I listened to that entire opening number of nurses rapping makes me think I'm not making good choices in life.

I do love that Jason STAYED at the NB, while Liz took Jake home. Grinning and clapping and watching frivolous stuff, hanging around because why? Why go with Liz to look after Jake? Why not take Jake home and give Liz a night off?  Noooooooo.

 

Jake wasn't injured or traumatized; he had stage fright. He recovered from it and sang the world's longest song with Franco.

I just had a nice flashback to the time Sabrina kept texting her and she was like "ugh, God."

Nice pull!  I do remember finding Jordan's, "Ugh, this bitch" reaction to Sabrina's texts (which she sent instead of getting off her ass and making sure the woman whose unborn baby she tried to kill was okay) extremely delightful.

I'm glad Lucy didn't end up in her underwear. Unless she had done it on purpose.

My friend's opinion on the Magic Milo number this year:

the Magic Milo routine was infinitely better this year with the lack of Michael. He's always so doughy looking next to the rest. And pasty.

I decided obviously she forgot Spinelli was in the first one, but I've decided to be kind and not unblock that memory.

Maybe she confused Michael with Spinelli. It certainly sounds like she was describing him too.

Yeah, realistically Sabrina probably should of been home spending as much tine as possible with her kid before the arrest she knew was coming, but narrative-wise, her reintroducing herself back into the town during the Nurses Ball (an event that she was responsible for bringing back) was actually pretty smart. Plus, I've always been a sucker for the 'You're Not Alone' number. I think it's a quite beautiful song.

Sabrina tried to sing her anthem and Jordan arrested her ass?!   Was she in a ballgown?   

Robin said her speech.  Amy insisted the song needed to be song and started singing it.  Sabrina showed up from backstage in her regular clothes and joined her.  Then dragged Pif onscreen to sing, the three of them.  After the song was done, Sab and Michael were chit chatting in the hall when Jordan walked up, with a uniformed cop and arrested her while Michael sputtered in shock, SHOCK, I tells ya.

I missed the last five minutes because of breaking news about the weather, did I miss anything?

Depending on when you cut out, Sabrina showed up and Jordan arrested her.  Jason went to windemere to have it out with NIk.  Sam came running, looking for Jason.  Cue the sound of breaking glass.   Then a shot of NIk, lying, beaten up, on the ground, near the water.

Did Lulu do that number all by herself? I was so horrified when I saw her on that bed on had to turn my head and so I didn't see the rest. I already had it on mute I didn't have to do that, heh. I cracking up at how poor JMB would have gotten through that if she were still around to give that number to.

Kiki and Dillon's was actually good, although all the finger pointing also made me want to giggle. So did Morgan's slowing head bob of "heeey, wait a minute." Although the wall behind them gave me a bad flashback this time to Luke's chewing up the scenery number two years ago.

Sonny: I will get justice for Duke

Robin: I know. That's who you are. A vicious murderer. clink!

Okay she didn't say it but it was the elephant in the room!

Something about Dillon's mouth looks like he's always clenching his lips. I just, I had to get that out there. But their kisses weren't bad.

I was wondering what the hell that picture was on Hayden's phone. Duh me.

What was the point of Sonny showing up at the Ball? He got there very late and left early. He even missed Robin's speech. It just seemed to be more blather about justice for Dook.

I didn't understand a lot of choices this show made. Sonny and Jason and Emma should have all been there for Robin's speech. And why not open the NB with it if they needed characters elsewhere by the end?

Wasn't Robin's presence a surprise in the first place? Anna didn't know she'd be there.

Thank you for small favors. It was bad enough we had a Carly/Ava fight.

Sabrina was arrested. K. I mean...I guess. Going to the nurses ball instead of going to get her baby doesn't make any sense but...whatever. 

I think she was saying something post-song in the Metrocourt lobby about Tracy and the baby being somewhere and not knowing when they'd be back, so she decided to come by the NB in the meantime.

LOL. On a random sidenote, though, in another universe where Robin stayed on the show after she'd been a prisoner for years, I always thought she'd become a "harder" person and seek justice by any means necessary. I kinda got a taste of it with Ron when he had Robin talking to Frozen!Jason! about teaming up to make the Cassadine's pay.

Good news, everyone. WE'RE NOT ALONE ANYMORE.

I did enjoy Jason's face when he was watching the various acts.

Dillon singing in the world's tiniest hat.
Jason's Face: This is why I refuse to remember my life with the Quartermaines.

Pip, Amy, and Val singing "Doctor's Orders," while Lulu and Maxie dance, sort of.
Jason's Face: If I slam my head against something, can I forget this?

What's this stuff with Lucas?  Some other people have died in the hospital?  I haven't watched regularly and obviously missed something.  no long explanation needed - just a quick sound bit sort of thing.  

Is doc with lizard suspected?  I'm confused....

Two of Dr. Lizard's patients died for no obvious reason and Obrecht has been pushing for an investigation. At the end of yesterday's show, Lucas walked in on someone (whose face we didn't see) trying to inject Bobbie with something, and in the next scene, Lucas was unconscious on the floor.

So they'd meet their minimums, I expect. Or GF would. Kevin works for GH, so I can see him showing up because of that.

Given how cold he was with Lucy - and what happened last time Kevin was at the ball - I think he'd be fine skipping it.  But yeah, perhaps meeting GF's minimums, or even just heading off complaints that she wasn't there, was the reason.  And maybe there'll be deleted scenes with them.

Up until the Magic Milo number, I was thinking the idea of the Nurses' Ball was that people are held prisoner and exhorted to give money to make the acts stop. But all the guys kind of rocked that. It was fun.

I had been creeped out by a grown man and a little girl duetting on "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," though. There are some songs that are okay for that wide an age discrepancy, and they didn't find one. 

Am I wrong in wishing we had seen Liesl's number? How could it have been worse than "Nurses! Welcome! Welcome to the Nurses' Ball!"?  

Coming so soon on the heels of the controversial, gruesome murder of Will on Days of our Lives, what appears to be happening with Lucas is a disturbing trend. Are soaps, which have dipped into serious presentation of gay characters, retooling for Trump's America?

If Jason is going to make pissy faces over Franco's relationship with Jake, maybe he could, you know, get off his ass and be of some help when the kid freezes on stage? When was the last time Jason even had a scene with Jake that wasn't about territory-marking with Franco?

Maura West was great today, and I loved Ava's initial indifference to the sex tape. I wish she had said, "It's just a shame you didn't find the ones with Morgan." Carly's head would have exploded. In fact, that would be a good stall for the blackmail.   

That catfight between Carly and Ava had a promising lead-up, but was surprisingly lame. I really thought LW and MW would bring it. I hope it's okay to put this here, from a different soap, but they should look to two sistahs to see how it's done. People still talk about this scene 25 years later, and the show wasn't even that widely watched.  

 

Having somehow never seen this catfight before, my hope was that we'd at least get something akin to Sheila and Lauren busting up a lab on Y&R back in the day...but, of course, this fakakta show actually completely wasted a genuinely nice buildup moment on a catfight that we didn't even see.  Damn, they didn't even swerve us and cut back to a thoroughly trashed bathroom.

OTOH, Lucas isn't dead (yet?)...so...halfsies.

I was pretty confused there at the end with Nikolas. Was the implication that Jason pushed him again, or Nik tried to commit suicide and Jason just happened to be there at the wrong time?

I think it was wrong place, wrong time. Jason heard a crash that sounded like something breaking and ran toward it. Then when Sam came in, she heard a crash as well, which I think was the Prince exiting the castle. I doubt it was a suicide though; it was probably Helena taking revenge for him poisoning her because you know she's not really dead. Alternately (or maybe also), this is a fake Nik (I'm still holding on to this theory because I really don't want Nik to be as horrible as he's been the last couple of years) and his usefulness to whoever put him in Nik's place has ended, so out the window he goes.

Anna certainly was shirty with Griffin, not looking at him and tersely saying, "I thought you said you couldn't dance." And the universe replying, "he can't! Did you not see the clapping?"

Lmao HeatLifer, I thought of you when Sabs started singing her song. 

Thank god Franco wasnt on again. Or Liez.

I bet Nik staged his death and Hayden was supposed to find him not Jason. 

I wish Sam would wear that dress every day I love it. 

Damn, my likes/dislikes are getting way too obvs. This is just like that time a waiter knew what I wanted for dinner and my boyfriend was like :O. I had to stop going there.

A fake Nik has been floating around my brain for awhile too.  I attributed it to the fact that I could not accept this new, evil incarnation of Nikolas, so I just told myself it was an imitation, conjured up by Helena.  Why?  No freaking idea; just couldn't stand the thought that he'd gone over to the dark side on his own.  I'm glad to see I have company.

So I stand by my first post. If Liz has no love, she needs to look in the mirror if she wants to know why.

Amen! And honestly that would be such a good story. I don't even like Liz but I would be interested in watching a story where she really looks at herself and what she's done in her life and gets some damn self-awareness finally. But no instead we're getting a story where she's going to start fucking a dranged man who kidnapped her child, sexually violated a woman, and caused a man to be raped.

And while I was happy to see them, why were Kevin and Laura there?  I feel like something with them and Lucy might have gotten cut?

Yea I bet there was a scene with Lucy that got cut. Probably so we could have that scene where Sonny brings up #JusticeForDuke since it's been like a day since we've heard that and so that Robin can prop him as our Lord and Savior.

I literally said out loud, "He can't!" when Anna said that. Also goodness I am so over Anna and her smug ass. Bitch what is your problem?! Like seriously.

This! I am obsessed with that dress.

Jordan continues to be horrible in every way. I mean yes lol to her arresting Sabrina as coldly as possible, but she's got some nerve after she told Hayden to hold off on reporting a murder attempt because she was busy being a jealous girlfriend.

I hate to admit this but I liked Sabrina showing up to sing "You're Not Alone.' I teared up lmao. Whatever sue me! That being said, damn at Robin getting a 5 second speech and then Sabrina getting that with everyone acting like it was the most beautiful and amazing thing ever and hugging her. I mean really now!

Kiki and Dillon are adorable. I am so pissed they're already bringing Morgan's dumb ass into it.
