October 3rd, 2005
Carly stabs Emily. Ruiz tells Jason and Sam that if Jason doesn’t start working for him, he’ll kill both of them. Courtney is pregnant. Sonny calls the police on Carly.
Just a second, let me run back and watch Emily get stabbed again. Ahhhhhh.
Sam is an idiot. Yeah, throwing a trash bag at a guy with a gun will help you escape...across the hall to the penthouse that’s probably locked.
I’m already sick of this pregnancy storyline.
Hee, Monica told Nikolas off. That was awesome.
October 4th, 2005
Jason and Sam make plans to leave town. Sonny finally takes Carly to Rose Lawn. Elizabeth tells Jax that she won’t have another baby with him. Courtney keeps quiet about her pregnancy. Emily asks Jason to stay in town. Alexis thinks that Ric will stop working for Sonny when the baby is born.
How should we celebrate our upcoming Carlyless month? I say, smash some barware and sleep wi
th your stepfather!
I’m guessing Jason and Sam will be in Hawaii for three days before they come back. Especially since Robin is coming next Wednesday.
Is it baby day or something? Everyone was talking about babies today.
I’m guessing that Alexis won’t be getting an interesting plot until the baby’s born. And even then, who knows?
October 5th, 2005
Carly is committed. Courtney tells Mike that she’s pregnant. Ruiz and his men storm Jason and Sam’s penthouse, but they’ve already left for Hawaii. Alcazar thinks that Skye wants Luke back in town so they’ll have a buffer between them.
‘Bye, Carly! See you in a month when you look completely different!
Shut up, Emily. Let Jason leave and actually be safe.
Oh, Skye. Just give in to Alcazar. He’s so much more interesting than Luke.
Gee, I wonder who that white-haired man was who the bellhop called Mr. Spencer?
Hee, Mike is awesome. He’s right - paternity secrets never turn out well.
October 6th, 2005
Jason buys a bar in Hawaii for Sam and is recognized by someone who isn’t happy to see him. Skye uses force to learn where Luke is and finds earrings in his trashed hotel room. Jesse comes clean to a professor who offers her help. Dillon hangs out with another girl while Georgie goes to Homecoming with another guy. Seth collapses at a dorm party.
This show sucks at cliffhangers. Gee, I wonder who’s watching Skye? Well, judging from the previews, it’s either Alcazar or Luke. So much for suspense.
I’ve completely lost all interest in Seth. Oh, wait, I never had any.
And just whose money did Jason use to buy that bar?
I loved the way Maxie said “cool!” about the body mics. Almost as good as Logan’s “reeeeally well” on last night’s Veronica Mars.
October 7th, 2005
Jason brings Danny to see Sam. A mobster kidnaps Tracy to get back at Luke for stealing money from him; Luke tells him to keep her. Reese feels excluded by Sonny, Emily, and Michael. Justus thinks that Lainey is hiding something. Courtney tells Nikolas that they’re over.
Hi, Luke. I wish you had a more interesting plot. I bet you do, too.
Whatever, Courtney. Just tell Jax and Nikolas already.
Awww, is somebody not feeling very welcome? Face it, Reese - you and Sonny have no chemistry and he’s basically still with Carly. You might as well just leave. (Please.)
October 10th, 2005
Sonny figures out that Courtney is pregnant. Jason avoids a fight with Moise, who tells Ruiz where he and Sam are. Lucky and Elizabeth set a date for their wedding, then have a Kelly’s closed dinner with Nikolas and Emily. Tracy’s captor gets fed up and lets her go; she tells him they’re partners now. Skye tries to get Luke to battle Alcazar for her affections.
Aww, the Four Musketeers. At least Nikolas and Emily can still be civil with each other,
More funny Alcazar, please!
Maybe that guy’s so angry all the time because he hates the fact that his name is Moise.
Hee, Sonny’s so mad that Courtney got knocked up. Mostly because the kid is either half Nikolas’ or half Jax’s. Poor Uncle Sonny.
October 11th, 2005
Luke tries to make a deal with Alcazar to get Skye back. Lucas admits to Georgie that he’s gay. Sonny tells Ric to stop dealing with the Ruizes and focus on Alexis, Kristina, and the baby. Emily overhears Courtney talking about her pregnancy and contemplates telling Nikolas. Manny Ruiz awakens from his coma. Brooke finds a roofie in Diego’s possessions.
The Lucas being gay thing would be more interesting if I hadn’t known for about a month.
Dang, Manny Ruiz has so many tattoos on his arms, I thought he was wearing a shirt under that hospital gown.
If you were wondering why I love Alexis (and Nancy Lee Grahn), rewatch that rambling monologue scene with her and Courtney. It will answer all of your questions.
Oh, Emily. That’s so none of your business. Or yours, Sonny! Go deal with your own life!
I’m guessing that Jesse’s back story is that his father abused his mother. Because that’s EVERYONE’S BACK STORY.
October 12th, 2005
Diego is the stalker. Manny and some thugs ambush Jason, wanting him to shoot Manny so they can kill him. Robin is back. Emily tells Courtney that she knows about her pregnancy and wants to tell Nikolas. Jesse tells Maxie about his abused sister. Nikolas and Emily decide to arrange a surprise wedding for Elizabeth and Lucky. Jax asks Alexis to “misplace” his divorce papers.
Diego drugged girls and took naked photos of them because of his dead cousin, who he never met and who’s been dead for a year? Yeah, that makes perfect sense! It also makes perfect sense that he drugged Maxie, not Georgie, who, as he said himself, was the one who locked Sage in the freezer. Also, it makes sense that he would go after all these girls who aren’t Mary, the person who actually killed Sage. Look, I’ll put up with this contrivance as long as it means he’s leaving and will never come back. He is, isn’t he?
Why did they wait the whole hour to show Robin’s face? How stupid. Not like everyone didn’t recognize her voice right away.
Poor Jason. Always the hittee, never the hitter.
October 13th, 2005
Sam tries to save Jason from Manny but they end up in a standoff. Sonny asks Emily to take care of Michael and Morgan if he doesn’t survive his confrontation with the Ruizes. Courtney tells Nikolas that she’s pregnant.
I’m trying to like Sam more, I really am. I do have a lot more respect for her now that she’s shown that she’s tough.
I’m so tired of Reese. I can’t wait till she leaves. Maybe they’ll kill her off.
Wow, Nikolas, way to pretend you’re happy that your girlfriend might be having your baby. You could at least fake it.
I think Sonny does this “I might not survive” thing every six months or so. Pretend you care, everyone.
October 14th, 2005
Reese refuses to leave Sonny alone in the hotel, where he’s holed himself up while he waits for Javier to attack. A shootout begins as Ric meets with Hector Ruiz. Manny is arrested and Jason realizes that he kills people in order to protect the people he loves. He decides to head back to Port Charles but Sam stays in Hawaii. Courtney tries to avoid telling Jax about her pregnancy. Alan wants Emily to stay away from Sonny.
First things first - the song. That was Good Charlotte’s “I Just Wanna Live.” It’s about wanting to be left alone when you’re famous. It is NOT about being a mob boss and not wanting to be killed. Second of all - it’s hard to take a mob guy seriously when he’s playing by Poppy from Seinfeld Third of all - KILL REESE ALREADY.
I just love how this show glorifies violence. Come on, people! How many guns can you have in an hour?
Why is Sam staying in Hawaii? I mean other than so that the Ruizes can come after her while she’s alone.
Um...what about Brook?
October 17th, 2005
Jason saves Sonny from Javier. Manny watches Sam in Hawaii. Hector tells Ric that it’s too late to make a deal. Courtney is willing to let Nikolas go back to Emily. Jax figures out that Carly was responsible for the car accident that resulted in Elizabeth’s miscarriage.
Watching Reese get shot was even better than watching Emily get impaled because there’s still the chance that Reese will die.
Yeah, big surprise that Jason saved Sonny. It doesn’t even matter whether or not he shoots Javier - the point is that he got him to put his gun down.
Sam, on the other hand, is an idiot. As are the Maui police, apparently, since they took their sweet time getting an officer over there to protect her. And he’ll probably wind up getting killed anyway and Sam will get kidnapped. Because this is GH, after all.
I don’t even know why I don’t fast forward every scene Courtney’s in.
October 18th, 2005
Jason kills Javier but Durant doesn’t press charges. Nikolas tries to stop Courtney from leaving town. Sam and Manny are both back in Port Charles, and one of them is ticked. Monica wonders if something is going on between Emily and Sonny. Lucky tells Luke that if he can’t be happy for him and Elizabeth, he shouldn’t come to the wedding. Skye breaks things off with Luke.
Darn. Reese is alive. Oh, and Max is okay, right?
Awww, poor Ric. I guess it doesn’t feel too good to be replaced, does it? Well, then, how about you just go on home to your wife?
Ewwww, Monica, don’t even think about an Emily/Sonny pairing. That’s gross.
What? Manny didn’t kidnap Sam? She actually made it back to Port Charles in one piece? Huh?
October 19th, 2005
Ric tells Hector that if he doesn’t get Manny to leave town, Jason will kill him. Manny kills Hector instead. Sonny is unhappy with Ric’s actions. Monica wants Emily to stay away from Sonny. Skye decides that, because of his association with the Ruizes, she can’t be with Alcazar. Diego frames another student as the stalker, but Dillon and Lainey are skeptical. Dillon thinks that something is going on between Lucas and Georgie.
Kelly Monaco got Punk’d. So did Kristen Bell, which is the real reason I’ll be watching.
Returning for Lucky and Elizabeth’s wedding - Lesley (yay!) and Helena (more yay!).
I hope that wasn’t Jason’s gun that Manny used to kill Hector. Also - PSYCHO!
Edward! Alice! Nedly! What a great day!
October 20th, 2005
Jason goes after Manny, who goes after Sam. One of Robin’s colleagues tries to convince her to have more fun. Alexis doesn’t think that Ric is invested in the baby. Maxie finds Sage’s journal in Diego’s dresser. Dillon wants Georgie to enjoy her senior year. Lucas looks to Luke for advice.
Ahh, the old “distract one and go after the other” technique. Well played, Manny. Well played.
Wow, when Robin rejects men, she really rejects them.
Yes, Lucas, your alcoholic, womanizing uncle is exactly the person you should be going to for advice.
Shut up, Reese. Why can’t she just say that Ric is an idiot for not focusing more on his soon-to-be-born child?
Um, Maxie? I wouldn’t hang out alone in Diego’s room if I were you.
October 21st, 2005
Sam and Jason face Manny and Jason’s worsening health. Tony tells Sam that Robin might be able to help Jason. Alan tries to manipulate Emily into leaving Sonny’s house. Robin thinks about Jason and Sonny.
TV Guide's soaps section thinks that Reese will be killed off in a train wreck. Also on one of the two trains involved: Sonny, Carly, Lucky, Jason, Sam, Alexis, and Manny. Awesome.
Um...I don’t think Lesli Kay is coming back. Apparently she’s going to be on The Bold and the Beautiful. So...adios, Lois!
The new Morgan is huge. How old is he supposed to be? He should be two, and Kristina should be three, and if they age her, too, and get a new actress, I’ll cry.
Why is Alan such a jerk now?
TONY! Yes, it is ironic that Robin can help Jason. So ironic that I want to throw something.
October 24th, 2005
Manny kidnaps Elizabeth. Sam asks Mac about Robin, then tells Jason (who remembers her) that she might be able to help him. Robin’s colleague gets her funding cut. Courtney, baby, blah blah blah. Emily refuses to leave Sonny’s house.
Poor Elizabeth. And right before her wedding!
Let’s see...how much do I care about Courtney? Hmm...I’ll say...not at all.
I love Max, but he’s the worst guard ever. How do people keep getting into Sonny’s house?
Awww, Emily’s a big girl now! The whole thing is stupid - she even said she has documentation that she was in the hospital, so she can’t get kicked out of school. Whatever, Alan.
October 25th, 2005
Elizabeth gets away from Manny. Sonny and Nikolas argue. Sam tells Jason about Robin, but he’s not in favor of letting her help him. Courtney’s baby is fine. Robin calls Jason but doesn’t say anything.
Noooo, Elizabeth! Avoid the train! Avoid the train at all costs!
I wish Alexis were there for Sonny and Nikolas’ fight to make a snide comment like she does about Sonny and Ric competing with each other.
If Sonny and Emily get together, I think I’ll be sick.
October 26th, 2005
Alcazar tells Jason and Sam where to find Manny, but just as they arrive to confront him, Jason collapses. Helena corners Courtney at Wyndemere. Emily, Nikolas, and Audrey plan a surprise wedding for Elizabeth and Lucky. Nikolas invokes Laura’s name to try to get Luke to come to the wedding. The Quartermaines think Alan is crazy.
Helena! Woo! (Need I say more?)
I’m sorry, Sam, Jason is too busy to make sure he’s not dying. You’ll have to try again later.
Um, Nikolas? It’s nice that you liked the Bacchanalia and all but...that was the night Katherine almost died. Just saying. It might not be the sort of event you want to recreate. Kudos for bringing up Laura, though.
October 27th, 2005
Sonny learns of Ric and Reese’s one night stand. Manny is arrested but escapes from police custody. Jason’s condition continues to worsen. Alexis and Ric try to connect. Courtney gets her paternity test results. Elizabeth and Lucky spend their last night together as an unmarried couple as Emily and Nikolas get ready for the wedding.
I love Helena. Don’t ever leave again!
Yeah, Reese, Sonny should totally be okay with all of this. I mean, you love him. Forget the fact that you’ve been lying to him for months. How dare he be mad that you slept with his brother and then lied about it?
Why are the police on this show always so dumb?
I love Lucky and Elizabeth together. I just wish they were more interesting.
October 28th, 2005
Lucky and Elizabeth are touched by their dream wedding. Robin calls Jason. Courtney tells Jax that she’s pregnant. Sonny isn’t happy with Ric. Manny is presumed dead.
Stupid Bush. Why couldn’t he wait till 4? At least we didn’t miss the wedding.
Dear Ric, please tell Alexis about what happened with Reese before Sonny gets the chance. It’s definitely smarter to tell her yourself.
Hee, I love that Helena thought Jax was the father of Alexis’ baby. Hee hee hee. I can’t wait for Ric to face off with Helena.
Boo hoo, Courtney, I’m sorry no one will pay attention to you. It’s only, oh, SOMEONE ELSE’S WEDDING.
October 31st, 2005
Jason refuses to let Robin help him. Sam confides in Sonny, who tells Jason to do whatever he needs to in order to stay alive. Lucky and Elizabeth get married. Sonny fires Ric, who gets drunk at the wedding and announces that he slept with Reese. Courtney tells Jax and Nikolas that Jax is the baby’s father. Lulu is upset with Luke. Manny goes to Rose Lawn. Jesse surprises Maxie for her birthday.
Yay! Elizabeth and Lucky are happy! Well, for four days, at least.
Dear Sam and Sonny, please hit Jason.
Why did Ric go to his ex-wife’s wedding? Awkward....
I’m glad they made Lulu 17 instead of 15, as I’d previously read. It’s a tad more realistic, as Julie Berman is 22, and it makes her the same age as Georgie.
Stupid writers! Helena was supposed to catch the bouquet, not Alice!
