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

coming out of lurker mode to comment on Kim McC's hideous dress, but I see that has been well covered

The worst thing about the dress was not the material or the style or that KMc has gained weight, it was that the dress made her waddle. which is pretty bad considering the pregnant lady wasn't even waddling! So it was very bad on the costume department.

IMO the bad thing about KMc's dress was its short cap sleeves; they are not flattering on most people;  I was cringing for her because I would never wear short sleeves; I avoid them like the plague; its either sleeveless or 3/4 or long but short sleeves, especially on a gown, always seem to hit at the worst part of the arm.

Poor Kim; I really felt for her...

I liked the song that Valentin sang to Nina. Was humming it all day.

I loved it, too!  I have been searching for other versions of it because I hadn't heard it before.  I found it by The Magnetic Fields and also by Peter Gabriel and I have to say, I like James Patrick Stuart's version the best by far.

meant to ask, above, WTF was the point of the llama?  Did someone lose a bet?  Will we see it again tomorrow?  What a waste of air time, that could be given to RF!S....

Who/what do you think got RF!S out of his jail cell?

Yes, yes, Sonny, it's so hard being in the same room as Ava, breathing the same air, watching her eat crackers like she owns the Nurses' Ball.....

Olay "commercial" wasn't too bad -

Olay commercial was the best bit of dialogue in the past few weeks, because it never mentioned Franco AND it had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Sonny/Carly, plus, "Commercial" was never used to denote Ava's complicity in Morgan's death.

I just want a huuuuuuuuge hug between Robert and Robin, on the level of 2012 GH: Scorpios Intrigue Edition. After Robert wipes the floor with Valentin, of course.

Oh, I'm sure it will be Jason who ultimately prevails, but I'm going to enjoy RF!S's victory while it lasts.

Same here. Hey, if we've had to accept the wormholes where Mooby and the rest of the other characters can travel between Port Charles and wherever, I have NO PROBLEM with Robert!FUCKING!Scorpio! arriving in time to cold cock Weaselly Valentin.

Valentine is singing again?  His voice is fine, but no. Please stop. There is no way in hell that Mikkos would've disinherited Stavros in favor of a stuttering, hunchbacked lounge-singer stalker. He might've disinherited Stavros in favor of the man that terrified Helena, but not this loser.

I would uncomplainingly tolerate another 3 years of FV if Guza was allowed to write for Franco, Nina and "Valentin" for one day.

I'm looking forward to that too, I don't have think their visits have overlapped in quite a while now.

I do hope Robin flees town before LWB/FS is exposed, I don't want to see any "heartwarming" sibling moments, yuck.

Even if she does, they'll probably shares scenes eventually given KMc visits often. Their introduction was brief, but they had nice chemistry together. Can't wait to see more scenes between them.

It was incredibly hard watching Mike falter in confusion during his performance, the actor did a great job there. Sonny's surprisingly gracious response was really nicely done. I'm even going to give Sonny props for not taking Ava's bait after her big "fuck all y'all" number. Mark this date, I'll probably never be so complimentary of Sonny again.

Maxie's super speedy delivery was naturally timed perfectly for Peter's rendezvous with Anna. The Peter/Maxie stuff is BY FAR more enjoyable than Henrik having mommy issues and an axe to grind. It'd be nice if now that the truth's emerging we could consolidate and reconcile the sort of split personalities of Peter/Henrik, because I don't think the warmth we see from Peter towards Maxie matches up with the cold-hearted persona of Henrik.

So did Liz and Franco fall off the face of the planet after the red carpet or what? I guess they weren't needed since they're not involved with Henrik/Anna or Mike/Sonny or any of the other threads woven throughout the Nurses' Ball, but it's kind of a glaring absence to omit Liz from the nurses' performances.

Robert led Valentin off in handcuffs.  After beating him up.  cheers

"Dad, are you okay?  You look terrible." "I'm good, love, I'll fill you in later."  Robert F! Scorpio for the win!  Can we have more of the Scorpios please?  As Scorpios, not as Sad Sack Anna.

Max Gail is just killing it in the role.   Nice of the show to play for a full band for his song, to highlight the difference between what's in his head and what's real.

Can someone explain to me why Ava needs Sonny's permission to do the song she wants to do? Olay was the ball's sponsor*, not Sonny.  How did the dancers learn the moves with zero rehearsal?

Every time the show went to Jason/Sam/Spinelli my blood pressure went up.  STFU Jason.  You know you would cut Anna out in a second if it benefited you . Also I hate  Bobbi sooooo much now. this is what the show has brought me to.

I like the Henrik/Maxie scenes. Maxie yelling at Peter was hysterical. I hope they don't turn her into a one note when she finds out who he is.

* How is this a ball?  There is no dancing among the sponsors. Every charity ball  I've ever heard of was focussed around the dancing because Ball. It's more like an amateur cabaret.

What happened with Robert???

Robert handcuffed Valentin on stage.  Dante was all, "the hell?".  Robert said he was under the authority of the WSB and led Valentin out to the lobby where he parked his butt in a chair and demanded answers.  Valentin said Anna's falling into a trap.  Robin came out to check on Robert, he asked where Anna was, she said Mom got a text and headed out.  Valentin admitted to Robert that he knew who Henrik was as Nina overhears and gets pissed at Valentin.  Nina asks if Nathan would be alive if Val had told everyone who Henrik was, but he says no.  He does not tell her that Peter is Henrik.  

Robert drags Valentin away in handcuffs.

In other news, these scenes of Dr. Bensch perving on Kiki and her crying by herself or on Griffin's shoulder are getting very repetitive.  Either move this story into a different gear or stop it already.

That scene was so weird.  I get that the plot point was to have Ava witness another tender moment between Griffin and Kiki but what the hell?  Griffin knows Bensch is being a letch, he witnessed at the hospital once even though Kiki downplayed it at the time.  This time he finds Letch in her room while she's half naked and doesn't question the "I got lost on my way to the men's room" excuse.  Then Ava, doesn't question why her daughter is crying, to the point where Griffin is consoling her.  Oy

LOL. That's nearly every act. Sometimes we get a completely different song from what was planned, but somehow the musicians and any backup singers/dancer know just how to support it.

If Maxie's baby dies or is involved in some zany switcheroo, I'm going to be quite angry, Show.

It's a boy, so that isn't as likely as if Maxie had had a girl child. The tock is likely

the mother of the Who's? baby, leading Nelle to steal Maxie's son to give to them. Or something along those lines. I can't see the show tocking Sonny's precious son's baby boy.

I wonder if they are going to have the baby get seriously ill because he wa born so early in a field and Peter is going to save him with a blood transfusion or some other thing only he can provide as a familial match. Then Maxie will have the conflict of blaming him for Nathan and being grateful to him for Nathan Junior (come on, we all know the baby will be banned Nathan).

I also dislike Lucy publicly crapping on Ava ('the less you know about her the better') while introducing Ava who has agreed to perform at her ball.

Such bullshit.  As if Lucy's resume is squeaky clean.  Not to mention she fawns all over the likes of Sonny, so she can fuck right off with her judgments.

That would be nice and soapy.  I'd prefer that to a baby switcheroo.  It would also continue the "Is Henrik good or bad?" theme.

Maybe they will name him Nathan James  Mac and Nina can continue with calling him "J". (blech)

Now that Valentin has done ballads by Billy Joel and Peter Gabriel, I wonder what he has in store for the 2019 Nurses' Ball, if he's still around. Michael Bolton? Phil Collins? Sting? I'm picturing a lonely hunchback watching VH1 in the late '80s and early '90s.  memorizing lyrics, dreaming up little music-video scenarios with himself and Anna.  

As much as I rag on it, I guess the NB isn't as bad as it could be. The musical talent is usually...passable. Very few of the performers could get by as singers (the long-gone Ricky Martin did, obviously) but most of them can carry a tune well enough for something in which singing is a small part of the package. So, they're actors, in other words.  

Someone of GH past who really did sing well was Big Kristina, Jaime Ray Newman. It was her bad luck that her brief time on the show began just after the NB was put on ice for more than ten years.

I don't know if the use of "ball" for a non-dance gala goes way back or if the producers were just inspired by the famous Secret Policemen's Ball benefit shows in the U.K. But either way, GH is not being weird -- this time -- with using this term. I don't think even the early Nurse's Ball on GH were anything but variety shows. 

I was amused by Robert getting to Port Charles so fast, too. But come to think of it -- do we know for sure the cell was overseas? After all, Valentine himself came back in time for the ball. Maybe he just had Robert dumped somewhere in Wyndemere.  I guess RF!S will tell Robin or Anna when the dust settles.
