Week Nine, Part II
Buzz, letting the words, not his tone or volume, handle the aggression: "Anna, you know, sometimes you have a merciless streak."
Anna, not looking at him and almost whispering: "I'm just doing my job."
Buzz: "Oh, I know. I hope it doesn't hurt you some day." now she looks at him "You could lose the friendship of a lot of good people. The people who stood by you when it counted." walks off
Laurelton, the relationship stuff: As if Terry didn't have enough problems to deal with, it turns out that her and Kevin's first time having sex was a dud. They apparently completed the act after Tuesday's episode, but had no pleasure from it. Terry insists to Kevin that he was wonderful and she was the one who let him down. I'm now curious as to when orgasms could be discussed on a soap opera. These episodes of GH aired a week before the Golden Girls episode where it's alluded to with Rose making faces and raising her eyebrows.
Kevin and Patrick, meanwhile, are united for reasons like protecting Terry and responding to a gang shootout. On a personal level, though, they're still at each other's throats.
Poor Bobbie, having to deal with all those basket cases in her home. Any annoying habits from the Jones brothers, Tania, or Felicia must have felt like a relief in comparison.
Anna and Buzz: We've got three-and-a-half months before Ian Buchanan joins the cast and it becomes all about Anna and Duke. I suspect that GH hasn't yet completely thrown in the towel on Anna and Buzz. A good part of this week is devoted to the two friends being at odds, each wanting to do what's right in accordance with their jobs and knowing that it's putting the other in a bad position. What's also frustrating, if not heart-rending, is that neither Anna or Buzz has said "I love you." Maybe neither will. Oh, if only GH had cast a more suitable actor for Buzz. They could have gotten years out of realistic, law vs. medicine-related conflicts, instead of filling that time with mob stories.
Part Three, the conclusion, will come later today. It will include my thoughts on the end of Jimmy Lee & Celia, the unfortunate devolving of Jeff as a character, and if GH was attempting to do a ripped from the headlines mini-storyline.
