First of all...YASSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
I said it before and I will say it again...even with all the flaws in the writing team...this show is at least bingeable. And the week I just watched was actually superb due to all the stuff focusing on Who Shot Drew.
I say all the time in the BTG thread that its best weeks so far has been when it has an A story, solid B plot, or an event as the focus for the week with other stories surrounding that story. So good to see GH seems to have that memo, resulting in momentum starting to appear again. Laura, Sonny, and Dalton's body was the main focus one week and now the show has circled back to the almost dead-in-water tale of Who Shot Drew. And I'm shocked and surprised how invested I got as I binged.
That might be because of the appearance of structure...along with twists and turns. I thought the Curtis thing was just hasty written, but still hoped it might be a red herring. Heck even got a Curtis vs Drew scene out of it. But to see it might actually BE a red herring was delicious. It was nice to see a good amount of the canvas react to his arrest (I totally forgot him and Nina were friends since they rarely interact now). And of course, it added another layer to the Portia mess. Which speaking of...Isaiah starting to get a clue is intriguing. As well as him staying giving obsessed vibes.
Well, well, WEEEEELLLLL...the plot twist of the camera footage. The spotlight back on Willow (hunni!). I...WAS...LIVING. Fingers crossed that she really was Drew's shooter all along. Yes, I'm actually on pens and needles just thinking about it. If it's her, then the writers really pulled off a great misdirection in that department.
I also loved Chase vs Michael. YES, PLEASE. But I loved more that as expected, Chase's need to be Captain Save-a-Ho a hero has finally started to cause problems for his marriage and BLQ was calling him out. Finally...some friction. And Michael not backing down...was kinda hot.
We know I don't care for him with that girl so them in Nina's office did nothing for me. Though...nice red dress.
See? I also didn't like the Friday coda of the week I've watched aka the Jason/Britt kiss. They had just had a nice moment. And it tied back into her return. And it felt like the Jason/Britt they used to be. So of course, the writers ruined it.
And I'm not here for Carly/Val. Moreso if the go-to to play them is the wackas wackas cuz...GIRL, GONE.
Other than that...pretty good week. And I can't believe we are already approaching the custody trial, too. It felt like (and true) that we have been talking about it for months.
PS. How is it that Britt and Pascal have not crossed paths yet? Or have they and I missed it.
PPS. EXCUSE ME??? EYE MITES. I suspect this is tying into how Sidwell plans to sabotage Deception, but honestly Liz deserves better. So does Felicia who they at least put her in as Maxie's proxy for Deception stuff. So I just think it's clear spite on the writers' side. No other reason.
