La & Chanelle S2 Ep11 (00:06)
Hello, how are you? Hope you're good. We are back with a new episode of Lather Up with La. And Chanelle We don't have any news today, except that if you watched General Hospital this past week, you saw Gio reunite with the genie from the Broadway musical Aladdin. And he happens to have some local ties. Yes, Michael James Scott. He was born in Baltimore, Maryland.

And the fact that we have a Broadway kind of crossover with General Hospital is great to see him shining in a moment that actually was nice. It was decent. You know, I have my hangups, but we'll discuss that later in the show. But we begin this week with Beyond the Gates and...

Gotta send a message. So even though Jacob was beat down the week before, LIa still wanted to make sure everybody knew where they stand in her eyes. So she put a hit out on Grayson, the lab tech. And he's thinking life is beautiful. He's gonna go and hang out with Ashley and have a nice dinner. And he was

telling his mom that he's gonna go hang out with her tonight. And all of a sudden, there's a shanking in the stairwell. The foot soldier for Ms. LIa, the chief of staff, stabs him with a scalpel that he snatched from the hospital. Use your own tools. And left him bleeding.

in the stairwell. But did he die? But did he die though? Did he die He did not die. But he did drop his phone so he had to struggle down the steps to get it and instead of calling for help, he calls Jacob, AKA Rashad, caught because he was being reamed out by the guy who just stabbed Grayson and he was like, too bad about your friend. I had to...

let him know you don't cross me. And he was like, what? And at the same moment, that's when Grayson was calling Rashad and he ignored the phone call. Then he later sees the text that is like, help me. There was dozens of calls back to back. Yeah. And that's when he calls Smitty and he's like, You need to check because homeboy just told me that he took out.

Grayson and that there was blood involved. So Smitty, after having an argument sort of with Martin who wants to now go for the Senate, but we still have that passing discretion where he killed a man that saved his grandfather out there in the air. And so what cracked me up with Smitty was like, you didn't come to me first. You went to your mama. Bill knows. Your grandfather knows.

Why we keeping secrets? I'm like, I'm sorry says the man who is secretly doing a whole undercover operation with

Jacob.

gotta go. Right. So, he runs, checks the hospital, doesn't find Grayson because Grayson has gone where? To Ashley's house. He has to get help and we were under the impression that at a lab tech in a hospital, you have some medical training. Apparently not this man.

He goes over to Ashley's not to eat dinner as we expected. And I know that upset you because you love for people to Yeah, I wanted to see what was in the sex me up chicken. Shanice gave Ashley this foolproof recipe to get some after you feed your man or your partner this. And she was making that for him for the first official dinner at her place. And he comes bleeding, breathing heavy, sweating, looking pale.

and she has to try to help him, but she tries to get him to go to the hospital. He's like, no hospitals, no hospitals. And she's like, you look, this is not like something I can just patch up. This is a stab wound. He's like, I don't want to get you in any deeper, but I can't let them find me. And she's like, who is them? It's like bringing this drama to her doorstep. It's like here she used her one Tide pod to clean her one shirt.

for this terrible date night, had to be mean to her mama Jan to kick her out. And it's like, ooh, Grayson, like this was probably one of the reasons why Jacob tried to get you to stay away from her. But in a weird twist of fate, I also blame Jacob for this. This was him trying to be on his training day mess and trying to switch up stuff and being like, I'm in charge. You we gonna do it at a stairwell so I don't get caught.

Maybe if you put on some sunglasses first and foremost, then you wouldn't be caught or seen amongst the people. And if that's going to be the case, why are we having to deal with Grayson being the one getting the worst of the worst? Jacob was the one who was making all these changes. Poor Grayson, he just tried to make sure that he has enough money to pay for his mama's Parkinson's medication and the rehab facility.

looking at Jacob like, if you weren't feeling like poo before, this was on you, sir. And then being like, he's probably at the one place I told him not to be, Ashley's apartment. You think? Man's bleeding out. All he wanted was some sex me up chicken and his girlfriend. Look what you done did. Jacob, mess it up. Definitely. We were rooting for you. No, I mean, it also goes into just having to deal with

This operation, you know how I feel. We have been in the trenches far too long not to see at least one plasma bag and the blood that I finally see is Grayson's. I was still rooting for him. Yes, he's involved, but he's an underling and he gave this the reasoning why he's doing it. Who else is going to get got? I feel like we still got Smitty talking about I'm a top notch journalist. Yeah, but now they know that there was a security breach at the hospital. You got Jacob, I'm a top.

like cop. Look, you're top flight security of the world, Craig, but you got caught. This is basically a wash. Until we have a big fish truly caught, a wash. Then Grayson got to get up and patched up and got to go back to work like nothing happened. Poor thing. I don't know how we're going to pull that off because when they left it, he was laid out.

in Ashley's bed bleeding out. She better get some more Tide. She's gonna have In and out of consciousness. She'll have to that blood out. Hydrogen paroxy. Yes. So that's how they left it. She was caring for him and of course she's doing the aside. What have you gotten yourself into? Don't lie to me. Yes. So, you know, once he's conscious again and she's patched him up, let's see if he tells the truth.

Cause she's like, I want to know everything, which is of course going to put her in danger. She might be the next victim. At this point, I feel like you have Derek sitting at home. Like I told you so. Now let's get to Hayley and Bill. So Hayley deflects because he's still asking about Lynette and stuff. And she's like, let's talk about the bigger issue in the room. The fact that you called your ex-wife baby.

What am I supposed to do with that information? How dare you? And of course to make up for it, he buys her all these flowers, rose petals in a box. I didn't know you could get that. And he just wants to pamper her and all of that. And she's like, just because you got me all that doesn't mean that I've forgiven you. And it was all because she didn't want him to realize that Lynette is

gone, she gave money to that woman and they were in cahoots. So she puts on some sexy gear and thinks that she's going to seduce him and he's been checking his bank account. And he goes, what happened to the savings account that we had for their, possible child? And she comes up with this terrible excuse of, I didn't want you to have to look at our accounts and...

be reminded that we're not gonna try to have a child. So I closed the account and he said, but what did you do with the money? That most likely was the money she was going to give Lynette for that penthouse before supposedly Randy got rid of Lynette. she said I was gonna put it in our joint account. Well, why didn't you? Well, I just had them cut me a check. He was like, or you could have scrolled down one notch and said,

transfer to another account. Well, I don't know all of the technicalities when it comes to money. Don't mess with it. If you don't know how to do it, don't touch it. It's like, I don't know much about algebra. It really was. And the only thing that we had to deal with this was the forensic accounting, which I root for Bill to finally look at his wife sideways.

So many people are telling you, and this is where I feel like Hayley as the con artist, I'm questioning kind of like Randy. And you know how I feel about Randy right now. Oh Randy. But at least with the forensic accounting, that's how he stumbled across this amount of money missing from the potential child savings account and what Hayley's been spending. And he already should have been apprehensive because remember she had to pay off Lynette's bill.

from the hotel stay. Right. And so all of this has come together and even Chelsea is like, there's just something about your wife, dad. gotta, know, something is just not sitting right with me. Watch her. You still have Tomas with his side investigation of not only Lynette, but kind of looking at Hayley. I really wanted him to stumble across when she was putting something in Bill's drink, but he didn't. He had mentioned like, let me buy you another drink because

This one must be cold because I kept you, but I wanted him to pull out that camera phone and take a picture and be like, Bill, something ain't right. Because we see in the previews that Bill starts coughing and I'm like, do not let Hayley be the one to take him out without him being like, gotcha. I would like Tomas to be able to figure this out, but I am impressed with him and the PI and they are getting closer to figuring out

whole Lynette situation, because now he has learned that she was trying to relocate to the DMV and that Vanessa was her realtor. So now he can maybe ask her a few questions to try to connect the dots of, this woman goes from being accused of laundering money to somehow getting enough money, because remember before they had to do the case pro bono because she didn't have any.

So where did she suddenly get enough money to talk to a high profile realtor to get a penthouse in the middle of Logan Circle. That's a point. So hopefully, all he gotta do is tell Kat. You know Katlock will be like, ⁓ I'm about to solve this case. Didn't trust it from the beginning.

Mr. Vernon did finally fess up to Ms. Anita about his concerns about his, you know, memory lapses. And it was just so sweet the way she was like, you have been rye rocked. Don't forget that I'm your rock. We need to keep each other abreast of any medical stuff we're both going through. So I was happy that he found out good news.

whatever it was, she said it was a possible vitamin D deficiency or something of that caliber. Nothing serious that we know of at this time. Yeah, something that can be fixed. Yes. And so now Miss Anita knows and she's like, I'm gonna get even stronger. She has one more chemo session to go, but she's like, I'm gonna be even stronger. Cause I gotta be there for you. Just like you've been there for me. And I was like, why do I love this couple so much? Cause we do. We do love them.

You had Shanice coming back into town. Apparently she went away on ⁓ conference. But I have to side, I, when it comes to relationship with her and Ted, he's still not ready to move in or do anything else or even move out of the hotel. But the way that he has been stepping up to the plate when it came to Nicole.

They've been in their orbits and I feel like with every passing moment, it's inching closer and closer to them possibly rekindling something. It seems like he's doing things that's reminding her of why she fell in love with him in the first place. Finally, with the whole, what was it, the week before with the flowers on, Kat's birthday. Like he is just inching his way slowly,

now he's finally paying attention on where he messed up and she's taking notice. But not to be ignored is the two gentlemen caller she has. So Kial was out of town, probably working. well, I think he actually saw his sons too. And then Carlton comes and apologizes because he pissed off Nicole when he would say, I liked you the way you were before this whole.

revamping of yourself. So that made her mad. And so he apologized for that. And bottom line, he's like, I just miss my friend. And Kial and Carlton talk after Carlton leaves. And Kial talks to Nicole and she's like, if I had known you had been here coming home early, I would have been at your house waiting. He was like, I can't think of a better way to come home. So she's still playing the field, but.

I think Ted is inching his way in just a little bit. I look at the eyes, the eyes have it when it comes to Naomi sulking, but I enjoyed the mother darn most with her and Dani this week. Yes, because unfortunately, Dani had the awesome idea that

I'm going to use my platform with fashion that I'm back in and promote the CheleaKat bag. But unfortunately, Chelsea wants her new business to be a separate entity that's not connected to the Duprees just her and Kat making moves without her mom anywhere near it. And that hurt her. And so Naomi needed

some mom time and mom needed some other daughter time because after being rejected by Chelsea, she felt some kind of way. She was very disappointed. That's true. And again, I just want Beyond the Gates to know we're rooting for them. I love the family moments. And this was the Leslie Free Week for the most part. I appreciated it. And again, don't get me wrong, I don't hate Leslie.

But when she's just there for comedic relief and just to be a thorn in the side and tell there is justice for Laura and for some sort of comeuppance, I don't need to see her every day. No. Now let's go to Young and the Restless. Not because they did an amazing job, but because it's getting frustrating now. Every Newman does not need to be kidnapped. They just don't. Stop. We ask you.

politely the last couple of episodes. Now we're literally telling you, no more kidnappings, no more. Like there needs to be like a moratorium after this second round of kidnappings because how you get kidnapped and get re-kidnapped? I'm still baffled about the week of television I had to watch where it's like, you just got out of the closet.

How are you getting re-kidnapped because you didn't want to make a phone call? And did we or didn't we not last week say as soon as Chelsea rescued Adam and Nick that they needed to contact Noah and or Sharon and be like, hey, our phones were taken after Matt took us. If you get any contact from those phones, be aware that it's most likely Matt. Instead,

They sleep on it, wake up the next day and try to tell Sharon, hey, my phone was snatched. Adam calls her, but they're already flown Vegas, and they're already running a car and they're on their way to the abandoned gas station to meet up with Nick. Why would Nick want to meet at an abandoned gas station? Just come to the hotel if we've already taken care of Matt.

Why do I need to meet you at some desert? That's a point. And then it also goes back as they drive to this abandoned gas station throughout the whole journey, you have Noah being like, I don't have a good feeling about this. I just don't have a good feeling about this. Cell phones don't work. Well, we are out in middle of nowhere. You don't have a good feeling about this? I don't have a good feeling about this. Well, once we get there, let's get out the car.

You know, don't you get out the car, Mom, because I just don't have a good feeling about this. Let me get out the car. How about y'all lock the damn door because Matt comes in with a gun. What? Snuck right in the back seat. What? Unannounced. They didn't even see, because remember they said they didn't see any cars. So wherever he was, he was covert and just slid right in there behind them and took them. I just... It was insanity. Meanwhile, you have Nick.

broke it out with his drugs. Narcotic Nick, that's I'm calling him. Narcotic Nick, no good to anybody. Adam is trying to convince Riza, tell me where Matt is. And she's just arguing back, I need to have some security if I'm gonna give you this information. Y'all say Matt, Ronnie, Mitch, whoever this man is, it's super dangerous. So I need to have some cushion for the pushing. What you gonna give me if I give you this information? And then Narcotic Nick throwing out numbers.

I'm gonna give you a half a million dollars right now. How you gonna get it to me? Don't worry about it. Just know that you gonna get it. And finally she breaks down as like, where's this abandoned gas station and wherever part of Vegas. And they're like, that's all we needed. So the previews for this coming week shows that Matt not only has Noah and Sharon, but he re-kidnaps Adam and Nick. I don't know what to do with this no more.

Well, I'm just mad even to get to this gas station. Adam, why'd you let Nick drive? I have not seen so much sweat and shaking. The crackhead behavior for someone who keeps saying, I'm fine. You ain't fine, I'm fine. We got this, million. I'm like, why would you let him behind the wheel? Is this supposed to be the acting that's going to be getting to him his daytime Emmy because

Love me some Josh Murrow. So much. Lord knows I do. But this has been leading up since he got into the accident, the first time he thought he was going to take out Matt Clark. We have been on this road for months now, months. And every time someone looks at him shaking, sweating, or slapping water on his face talking about, you good? No, he's not good. If it walks like a duck and qu-

like a duck. It is a duck. And so you saw him with the drugs was like, I don't think this is your first time. You think? You think? And then once we finished with Matt Clark, are we going to have to just send Nick to rehab? Because I'm just very concerned that everybody like, no, he say he good. The shakes and everything else and the shimmies.

You've known Nick most of y'all's lives. Has he ever behaved like that before? And he's been injured before? And even Sharon and Noah. You know, Dad has been awfully different ever since the kidnapping. Well, know, Matt Clark will do that to you. No, he's never done that to you. Maybe if he went back for some physical therapy and saying that the first round of narcotics wasn't working before he just started popping opioids and random pills.

Kidnapping and drugs. Just say no. preview for this week shows that out of the multiple mini bags of drugage left by Matt for him. There's a bad batch. how much you want to bet that bad batch has fentanyl in it? Most likely. At this point I can guarantee you that's what it is. And the fact that Matt not only took them all, four people mind you.

He got four people. He has nanny cams in the place so he can watch them suffer. He's like, I'm not gonna leave no water. I ain't gonna leave no bread. I'm gonna make sure this one is drugged up beyond belief and y'all can watch him die slowly. Later. And this is very reminiscent. I'm like, are we really having a throwback to when Martin just kind of.

kidnapped. Right! I'm like, are we going back? Cause I'm like, when Sharon and Phyllis were in there, that was given Saw and Jigsaw. Correct. With Matt Clark re-kidnapping the people he already kidnapped, as he says, it's giving stupidity. And I just want to know, while this is all taking place, you have Chelsea sitting in a Vegas hotel room.

Comparing con artist story. And it's like, maybe you should have checked in and be like, if you don't call me an hour, I'm sending an SOS. Where is the Newman security that was supposed to be kind of on the lookout for Matt Clark? Hell, where's Sienna? Yes. you at least should be like, hey, let me check in with Chelsea or somebody. It's been two weeks. At this point, Matt Clark is kidnapping everybody left and right. Hide your kids, hide your wife.

And I am just concerned because if I have to go another year of somebody else getting kidnapped, let's put this dog in a rest. Please and thank you. It worked earlier this year, but we don't need it every month. It's too much. especially in Wisconsin. All this snatchery should not be happening in the...

from Genoa City to Vegas to LA. Somebody getting kidnapped. And I just feel like if this is what we have to deal with, there has to be some sort of resolution. Funny to me, like Victor and Nikki, y'all don't want to check on your babies? You don't want to check on your children? They good, they good. Look, Victor has his own comeuppance thate he's working on because Phyllis apparently she thought she had the game won and Victor saying, no, no, checkmate.

AI against AI and one AI is going to take out the other. AI versus AI for real. The fact that he has a new system of AI that can counter her AI and takes her down the same way he took her down with falsifying information, trying to make it seem like she definitely did steal the company from him, but it's apparently the way she did it that has been documented is false, but it's going to most likely try to get her behind bars. And it doesn't help.

that, which I'm trying to figure out, did Michael have this in mind when he suggested that Christine take the DA job again? I'm not sure. It wasn't specified, but he suggested she takes the new DA position that's now available. And in the same moment, Victor and Victoria now know that she's up for the running. And they're like, we're behind this 100%. And let me tell you why. Phyllis.

needs to be behind bars because she did this, that and the other. I got receipts, I got all this evidence, just get her. Yeah, Cricket is like, tell me more. So of course, Victoria and Victor go over to Phyllis's office. And it's like, we would just like to let you know that you're going down. And of course, Phyllis is feeling herself as always. She's like, ha.

Don't be mad at me because I bedded you. I'm on top of the world now. You cannot stop me. And of course, this is the same time when her and Lauren are losing all of the staff. They have all put in their one minute notice. I'm really was. Yes, I'm out and then when? Now. So of course, Phyllis trying to turn lemon in the lemonade.

Now I don't have to do severance. That saves us a bundle. But you have nobody working for you, but Lauren, I feel like that's still not a great look. So Victoria and Victor are there and they're like, we're going to take you down. And they don't really explain, explain, but they do show the document. And she's like, I never did this. He was like, but you did steal the company. We'll just make up the way you did it. And then she's like, whatever, nobody's going to believe you. And he's like, it was like coming to America, wipers.

Everybody comes in who's the head of the company that have quit on her, the department, and they're like, he's like, they're all going to testify against you. They're all going to say that you were bragging about how you stole the company from the Newmans illegally, that you gave away all the information of how you did it. And, Phyllis is like, whatever, nobody's going to believe you. And then Victoria gives her the nail in the coffin. The DA will.

And so it's just like, who cares about the DA? She's like, she would go by the name of Christine Williams or her married name Romilotti. And you see the blood drain from her face. She's like, not the bug. The bug love to get me under the jail. So she was already talking to her portrait like it was a, what are we going to do? And so then when Victor and Victoria took everybody and left, she was like, we in trouble, y'all. We in trouble.

Meanwhile, Lauren and Michael are discussing that Victor has a plan to take not only back Newman Enterprises, but to take Phyllis down and make sure that she goes to jail. And Lauren is like, I'm sticking with my girl. He's like, really though? Really? I don't think that's in anybody's best interest. You gotta get out while the gettings is good. I'm not going to be the head of legal for your company because there won't be a company. Let's just call it what it is.

And Phyllis claims that she will not go down without a fight. I don't know what she has left, but I'm under the impression that while Victor took the AI program from Cane when Phyllis gave it to him, he was going, he was in the process of trying to come up with another AI system to

counter Cane so that's how he came up with the one that's gonna apparently take down Phyllis but who knows? Meanwhile Cane is trying, he claims he's not but he's trying to get brownie points with Lily. Yes. Because I love Cane, I don't care what nobody says. I love the fact that he's like, I'ma love this woman, I'ma make her love me. He's gonna Jennifer Holiday her, you're gonna love me. He's gonna try. So he overhears cause he's always snooping.

When Lily's concerned, he overhears her getting upset because, you know, the twins didn't qualify the match. Holden didn't qualify for a match. She can't do it because she had cancer. There's nobody really in the family left. Although I don't think we've checked Nathan and Devon yet, which I think is odd, but we're just running out of people. And so Cane hears this.

And it's like, what's wrong, Lily? She's like, I don't want to talk to you. You don't want to talk to me. Let's not play this game. And he's like, look, I would do anything for you. Just tell me what's wrong. I overheard something's wrong with Malcolm. She finally spills that he's sick and he needs a, stem cell. And he's like, well, if all the rest of the family has been checked, I'll just do it. And she's like, why would you do that for me? I've treated you like crap ever since you came back into my life. He's like, ⁓

I love you and I respect Malcolm and I know that you feel that you want to do everything in your power because you weren't able to save your father Neil Winters. And she's like, that was exactly what I was thinking as soon as I heard that Malcolm was sick. Oh my God, why do you know that? He was like, cause I know you. And I'm like, ah, you gotta give him a chance. It was so smooth though. Cause I'm like the fact that nearly all of the family when it comes to the Winters couldn't be a

bone marrow match. I feel like you've said previously, you think that it might be Cane to match. Yes. Cane saving Malcolm. Yes. With Cane saving Malcolm, then you forgive with Lily and then that brings them together. Yes. And even if it's not happily ever after, it's one of those things where you really got to figure out what are you going to do with this couple? Because it's like you...

You know you want him back. You felt bad that he got so mad at you that he didn't want anything to do with you, but he is coming in clutch. And if he hadn't have been messing around with Phyllis and got caught by Lily cause they had fun when they went to Sally and Billy's launch party. ⁓ the spark is still there. I see it. It's small. It's a mustard seed but I

Look, anger versus indifference, that's the opposite. Like I said, love, bad, But who is gonna stay angry? Go on and say. Diane Jenkins. She Jenkins, she ain't Abbott to me no more. Damn it, Diane. I've had it. He can only grovel so long. Mind you, you cannot fix a broken heart with jewelry, but you can help it along. He found a Josephine Baker.

ring, part of her jewelry collection that she had. And he sent it to her along with a handwritten letter about the love he has and the regret he has and how sorry he is. And it must have done something to Diane because she grabbed it. I don't know if initially she was going to give it back, but unfortunately, Nikki had come by to check on him and there was apparently a huge breakfast spread.

And Kyle was like, I'll grab something on the way in to work. So y'all just enjoy it. So he's giving her a scone and some muffins and Diane uses her key and comes right into the Abbott mansion. And it's like, I knew it. I knew you and Nikki were hanging out because that's all y'all ever do. I'm so, I'm sure you're so excited, Nikki, that we're having all this trouble. Cause now you can be with your bestie. Now you can have Jack to yourself. And Nikki is like, that is not the case.

He wants to be back with you and I'm trying to help him through this. And Jack tries and tries to talk to her. She's like, you can't win me back with some little bobble or trinkets. That's Nikki. That's how Victor gets her all the time. I'm not that person. I still hate you. So I'm still standing on business. Send her divorce paper that I wish that Jack, when he finally got rescued by Billy and Kyle.

and Diane had gone to get his blood checked, because I'm pretty sure that he was given ecstasy by Patty Williams. That's how he was able to be so loosey goosey with her. And I want him to serve her with divorce papers and documentation that proves that he was drugged. And then he can be like, I want you to go back in your maiden name. You can still work at Jabot, but we're going to have a liaison between us. Let it be Kyle. Let it be whoever. I don't ever want to talk to you again because I tried to talk to you.

and I don't want to deal with this anymore. I am too grown and I'm not going to beg you anymore. That's what I would prefer him to do. But now I think him and Nikki are going to try the make them jealous feat. which I just think is going to end so badly. That's true. Like on game, what? Period. That really is. mean, you've, you've wrapped it all up. The fact that Patty even went to Victor all of a sudden was like,

I'm out, thanks for, know, the times had. Victor's like, you know, I just brought the pieces together. You went above and beyond. And he gave her a bag of money. And through this all, somebody out there assumes that Patty Williams is not crazy or not crazy enough to be kept under lock and key. And she did have a run in with Diane. That was rough. Well, at that point where...

It was almost like Hammer Rombie's Law and I for a nine, she was like, you you slept with Jack. She's like, ⁓ like when I lost my child because I caught you and Jack when he was married to me, And then, you know, I fell down the steps like that. Diane was stuck. Touche. I mean, what do you say to that? Because at that point you have to go back into your soap's rolodex and be like, dag, Diane.

Yeah, they got caught, I think, in his office. Yeah, like you, like you, you, you, been, you been dirty too. Yeah. So for you to be so sanctimonious and be like, Jack hurt me. Woman, I mean, you've hurt many a people, many a people. And like I, like I said, who wants you after this? Who gonna want you? No, in Genoa City wants you. So you better come to terms with it. Go to counseling.

Y'all talk it out. mean, let's not forget, not only did he get pretty much sexually assaulted by Patty Williams, he was, it ruined his, like not ruined, but his sobriety was in jeopardy. So he's victim too. I know you were a victim of seeing such a terrible sight, know, Jack with no shirt on though. But he was a victim too. And for you not to even like give him the time of day.

if you are convinced that you can never forgive him, plus you can't give him a timeline, I can't waste time with you anymore. Let her go. Just not worth it. Nikki, go on up. Get him, Nikki. Go on and get him. All right, let's head on to Port Charles, where Rocco is rocky right now. He confessed to Britt.

about him shooting Cullum and trying to save her life while Jason was trying to save hers and that's why Jason got sent away because he would not tell that it was Lulu's son who was the shooter and not him. Now, Britt is even more upset about the whole situation because Rocco was never supposed to be involved in this. And if he told Britt, what's to keep him from telling Danny soon?

That's true. I mean, he is going through his own version of like the telltale heart. Like I bless him so many times because he's just not built for this life. you have Danny talking about, want to join Sonny in the biz. You have poor Rocco still trying to get his hand mended. And even when he's trying to do the right thing of doing his community service at the hospital, he runs into Cullum has to fluff a pillow.

Yep. Has to hold the conversation. And through it all, his eyes are just wandering. He's very frantic and manic. And it's like... Well, and everybody is noticing. Danny is like, why are you not hanging out with me as much as you did? I'm just so upset for you not having Jason. And then even Dante is like, what is your deal? We go to the batting cages. You're all flaky. Now you're flaky right now with ⁓ your mom. And your mom is kind of flaky. Dude, what is happening? So...

He's not hiding it at all. He's not hiding it well. And at this point, everybody know that boy can't cook. So it's like, you don't have to either get a better lie, learn to at least make one meal or figure out what's going to go through because at least in confiding in Britt, it's someone close to it because he was basically like, I'm doing this for you. However, the people who do know aside from Lulu is Cassius, who is not Nathan.

who is technically one of the ones working with Cullum. So he definitely needs to be on the lookout for what he has coming down the pipeline. Because as Britt said, similar to their father, are you really trying to help Rocco or are you doing this to gain leverage? Right now, Cassius is like, look, I like Lulu. So whatever makes Lulu happy and keeps her near me and keeps us doing what we doing, I'm going to make it work.

But we're like, how long will Jason have to be away? Quite some time at this point. Yes. And then you have

Drew, still blinking like nobody's business. But Nina is just throwing salt on the wound. Yes, I realize you're blinking and I know why you're blinking crazy because you think I'm going to help you. Well, I can't. I know everything that Willow did. I know she shot you. I know she got you dragged up. But I'm not helping you because you did us dirty. So you're just trapped. So blink to somebody else. And what did he do? Blink to somebody else.

Because Elizabeth all of a sudden pops by. heard Willow was busy and she said you were busy so I'ma come over and help you out. And what does Drew starts blinking like crazy and she finally figures out it's SOS. And she's like, oh my gosh, you need help? What do you need help with? Blink, blink, blink, blink. And he's like trying to communicate but he really can't. And unfortunately Elizabeth complains a little bit to Nina.

we need to do more to get him to be able to tell us, you know, what's going on. We can do like somebody get letters that he can blink for or some kind of contraption to help him be able to speak better. And Nina's like, I'll let Willow know that those are options. She will not be letting her know. ⁓ huh.

So, and then Kai comes over too and he's like, Willow sent me over to help you out. And Nina's like, ⁓ all these people, we got too many people over here. Getting too hot. Yes. So I think Drew is going to be able to like get help, but it's still going to take some more blinking time. That's true. Cause at this point Willow is basically feeling herself a little bit too much in the power grab.

that she thinks she has because why is Nina the one taking care of Drew? Because Willow has taken it upon herself to reach out to Brennan and remind him that not only has Nina basically spilled the beans and told what the WSB did to help Willow, but now she needs another favor. She needs some dirt on Drew because while she's a congresswoman, she wants Brennan to realize that

the intelligence community that she's on also controls the funding for the WSB. Thinking to myself. What in the B613? It's like little girl, if they are supposed to be this big and bad, it's like, this is just the light work of what you think they can control, but whatever. And then Britt is looking at her like, really? And she's like, well, I'll, you know, I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine and that funding that you all need. Hell, you could possibly be.

the deputy if you need to instead of just a chief. mean, a bureau chief is nice, but don't you want more? Or should I tell them that you're harassing me? And I'm thinking, girl, he has a photograph of you outside of Drew's. Like WSB is not afraid to send people to Stein Martin everywhere else. Like you could be locked up, poisoned, killed. Like, why are you playing with this man?

Like, why are you playing with this man? Like, this is above your pay grade. said, she is really thinking that she has all the cards. And that's just as bad because then he's like, before saying that she wanted dirt on Drew, he's like, what, you want dirt on Michael? She's like, no, no. Even though initially she was guns blazing because Jacinda, oh, Jacinda strikes such a nerve with her, not just because of Michael. Oh, no.

It's because Wiley and Amelia apparently like her too. And with that, she's like, you know what? I'm going to go to family court. I'm going to take Michael for what he is because he's basically with a hooker. And Nina's like, need I remind you, you have at least three different secrets that we do not need getting out.

And if it's not just you shooting Drew, the fact that you have him jailed in his own body right now, fact that Kai knows, like, where are we going to go with this? The fact that you're working with Sidwell to keep him drugged up. Maybe we don't go back to family court just yet. She's like, ⁓ yeah, you're right. But she's like, but the Dawn of Days and what you said, Jacinda is not trying to take Wiley like that. She worked on a science project with them.

leave that girl alone for a minute. Like we had bigger issues to handle right now. Amen. And we have Ethan and Rick is all trying to figure out what is this man doing back here? Why does he want to work with Sonny so bad? So he goes to Alexis. She does the history lesson lesson between how Christina

falsely accused Ethan when she was getting her butt beat by Kiefer and even though she put him in jail almost he forgave her and it makes him a good man in Alexis's eyes. Better than Rick apparently and Rick is like whatever and she's like really I want you to think about what you're doing. You have a tendency to self-sabotage. I know you want to get back with Sonny. I know you want to be in his good graces but why?

Dig any deeper, just let the, you know, let what happens happen and just be ready. And he's like, you do know me, I guess. And then Jordan, again, you haven't been in this condition long enough to be as angry as you are, but she fussed out Isaiah, who tried to check on her. And of course that comes with Curtis coming after Isaiah.

And, but it's always funny to me because anytime anything happens between him and Curtis, he cannot wait to tell Portia. Cause her and Curtis spoke and everything. And she's like, I think things are good between us. He was like, well, Curtis hates me more than ever. And I'm like, cause you just can't leave anybody in a circle alone. Just back off. And Curtis was already in his feelings because while he is basically trying to fight for the life of Jordan and be next to her,

Portia was like, ⁓ had that baby checkup, my bad. He's like, didn't. And he was like, you didn't tell me, you didn't do anything. well, you you were busy handling all that bother you. And it's like, you know, that's going to be a sore spot for him. So for you to even bring it up so nonchalantly, like, come on, like, you know, that's going to strike a nerve. And then even Portia had a run in with Jordan and we know that that didn't end well.

It's like, what is this baby being born into? And poor Jordan, she's like, ⁓ I'm atrocious, Quasimodo, no. And we're like, girl, you need to heal first and foremost. And through it all, basically all your head is bandaged. Like you're not even bandaged on your arms and stuff. We just have to wait until the plastic surgeon, now that I think about it, that could be who's coming to town to help. And then it's like, if we're gonna have to deal with this,

then we'll deal with this. This will be coming for sickness and in health for better or worse. Will Curtis stay with you if he's like, no, you are atrocious, you know, fan of the opera. I gotta leave. Then he is not the man for you. Like you could have died. And so while vanity is not the biggest issue, I feel like there are other things that they could be using their time to fulfill versus her being like, no one will ever love me.

I will scare the children. And it's like, girl, can you heal first? Can we walk without needing someone to hold your hand, not need a wheelchair? Like, again, there are bigger things at hand that we could be doing. Agreed. My boy, Gio. I love me some Gio. And I like Gio and Emma.

I didn't mind their frolic to New York City to see a Broadway show, Aladdin. However, I know that it was reminiscent of a little bit of a New York frolic that Trina and Spencer had, and it struck a nerve with you because we had to fight viewers who loved Sprina

had to fight, we had to write letters, we had to leave voice messages. Please let them have a proper outing that doesn't involve his little brother, Ace. And we finally got it, but we didn't go backstage, no, no. We went to go see Moulin Rouge, cause that was something that she truly, truly wanted to see and Spencer made it happen. But we did have the beautiful,

Skyline in New York when they went to fancy restaurant and the confessions of love were made, which took months also. It took 10 times longer to get Sprina together than it has with Emma and Gio. That's all I'm saying. And if you sent those two cute little kids to New York to make me forget about Sprina, you got another thing coming. No. and let's just be real, the place where they stayed,

was Dex's old house. Don't think I don't remember the brick. I remember that brick. Everything was brick. But you cannot replace the profound effect that Sprina had on General Hospital fans with Emma and Gio. Gio is phenomenal. I would believe that as a teenager, he worked on Broadway because he's that talented. Friends with Michael James Scott. But I won't accept their little outing to even come close.

to what Sprina were and should be. If you bring it back, people from the dead, somebody get the Titanic stuff and find me Spencer Cassidine! I will never give up on Sprina. Look, and while they had their outing. took Emma's mind off of everything with Anna. Anna is apparently not doing well at all. She's actually gotten worse. And at this point, were like, hey,

Can we maybe go to France and who is she gonna try to bring along with her? Leisl And Leisl was like, no, I don't think that's a good idea. If she thinks that I was the one giving her medical advice and conducting experiments, she does not wanna see me in person. She won't believe it. Felicia tried really hard to convince her, but honestly, I kinda see Leisl's point. She's already delusional that Leisl's been doing her lobotomy.

treatment Ordered by Faison if she sees Leisl the real thing it might solidify What she already thinks Leisl is doing so I don't know it might break her I? Just I feel terrible though because Anna you know she's like the female superhero in Port Charles with all her spying and stuff so I feel bad that she's in this predicament, but Cullum did it and That's another reason to take him out

That's true. And at this point, you know, there's like little mini factions trying to take him out, trying to take Sidwell out. Joss, who's the spy who bless her heart tries. Even she's like, okay, Valentin even though you haven't left the house, I need some quid pro quo. Tell me all you can about Faison and Cullum and everything else. And I think she might be at least closer to the track where she's like,

don't know if I even trusted Nathan at this point. Well, thank goodness because that ain't Nathan. There you go. And again, at least to wave the flag and be like, nobody finds it suspicious that it's been seven years. And this man just doesn't remember what happened, but apparently can fall right back into line, become a detective and figure out life, but can't tell us where he was or where he's been.

And most people are like, nope, I mean, Nathan's a good guy, trust it, well. We'll see how long this will last. Okay, now let's go to LA where everybody knows the truth now because Electra confronted her Aunt Ivy about the stolen letter after Daphne dropped some hints and gotta love Ivy. I did what I did and I'd do it again.

don't belong with Will Spencer because he's a Spencer. He's a Montague and you're a Capulet. So she is like, RJ is the one. That's the one you should be with. And to the point where Electra goes and tells Will what her aunt did and he's like, let's go tell Brooke and Ridge. They go tattle and Will "I don't know what you do at Forrester anyway Spencer.

is like, we need to get rid of Ivy now. And again, I love how Ridge is like, ⁓ you do remember that the name on the door is mine, right? So we're not gonna fire anybody like we didn't fire you, but we're gonna have a chat. And so they made Ivy explain what she did and although they did not agree with her tactics.

and they support RJ being with Electra, they were like, these are young adults and they have to come to their own conclusions about their romances. And Ivy volunteers, so maybe I should just go away for a while. And Ridge is like, that might be best. So she's going on sabbatical, but that is because the actress who portrays Ivy is pregnant and will probably be on maternity leave because she ended with, but I'll be back.

The threat that comes. Look, congratulations. I just wish we got to this resolution in a different way. It just felt like the climax of, yeah, I did it. And I kept the letter and I do it again. And it's like, we didn't lock anybody in a closet. didn't lock anyone in a gondola. Didn't really speed down a highway and try to make somebody swerve.

It was very lackluster. I don't know if it was just for budget keeping or what, but it really was like, don't you tell Daphne's like, I'ma tell. And she finally tells and it's like, yeah, it was me. And I'm like, is this what? It fell flat. Yeah, like is this what I've been waiting for? This could have been kind of wrapped up if Ivy would have, even if she would have just told or admitted to it, but Electra, you could have texted with.

Like all of this ⁓ came on and it was like, I maybe should have texted you. And again, it was a letter that I thought would have been like pouring her heart and soul other than it's like, it should be us, ⁓ we versus just you. And you know how I feel about Dylan. I love you. Come meet me in the showroom. ⁓ I thought it'd be more like, you took my virginity. The least you could do was take my advice and kick out the woman who's living with you. Something a little bit harder because through all of this,

While she admits this, she still goes back to RJ, explains what happened. He's like, man, that's sad, but I kind of agree with Ivy. You maybe we should be together. It allows him to kiss her. And it's like, I'm just so, I just, don't know what to do. Well, ma'am, you've been doing it. And RJ brought up a good point. If Will saw them kissing and hasn't brought it up, like this man has gotten to fights with RJ and still never brought it up.

How deep is this love? Is this really, you know, puppy love or is it full grown? Cause big dog, Will, I just don't understand how you let this slide for so long, but thought you would have the smoke for Ivy. Going back to House of Logan, like at this point- not the House of Logan. They trying to do some stuff. I just, the relationship and through this all and I'm supposed to like root for Electra and Will, but it's like, honestly,

At this point with Dylan here, I need her a little bit more in depth, but she doesn't bug me as much. Now the question I do have is, now with these weird phone calls she's getting, if I see Luna, hop up on my screen one more time. Back from the dead or somebody, Li stop trying to save these people like Frankenstein. I need you to either let it lie.

or just to keep her back. Cause if Luna's coming back, she better had a baby or she at least better have gotten over this obsession with Will. Because now I'm confused. Like you let Dylan finally get her first paycheck. She's supposed to be moving out, but you got someone either blackmailing her or getting her scared. Electra still technically hasn't been like, we're Facebook official again. Let's get back together, Will. She's just kind of being like, that's what Aunt Ivy did.

Okay. Are you with them or aren't you? Like what are doing here? Because what happens if all that Ivy did does lead you with RJ? I mean, it was a terrible route that she took, but she got you to the same destination. And she said she'd do it again. Yes, the quickness. And the only thing I had with RJ, while I root for him and his care, it started to turn a little bit to obsession. And we know how Thomas kind of fell off the wagon a little bit.

And if that's case, I'm gonna have to be like, it's gonna be tenfold for RJ because not only was Thomas with Ridge's son, but Ridge and Brooke's son, oh, you know the obsession, Destiny. His mama be talking about Destiny left and right. And his daddy just be like, okay, I'm long for a good time. So I feel like that double dose of whatever's going on in that bloodline would throw it over the top.

Yeah, let's keep it even kill. If Electra does decide to be with Will, let it go. Do not pursue. There are too many other women in Los Angeles you can be with, handsome little boy. Don't go crazy for Electra at that level. It might be destiny. No, if we hear the word destiny, shutting it down completely. Well, speaking of shutting it down, bless House of Logan.

liked the fashion show, but it came out of nowhere. For the last like week and a half, I've been trying to figure out where did Sheila go? You had me rooting for Sheila, finally finding out about Deacon and Taylor. And then it just kind of fell by the wayside. Yes, I'm glad that we finally got the letter and will and this teenage love triangle figured out, but where is my girl with the eight toes? Why has we dealt with this only to come back and have Katie to be like,

Welcome, this is the Eric collection from Logan. Really? What made it a success was the fact that it was the Eric Forrester collection under Logan. So the fact that she was puffing her chest and Bill is like, you smell that? That's money. I'm like, it's money because it's Eric Forrester. Now I had to laugh hard when Eric was like, this is despicable, you did this. You You need to sit in this so the next time you have another episode,

Remember, this made you look stupid because you were stupid. You allowed this to happen. So just call it a wash. You freely, I mean, you supposedly got paid, but I don't know. You have freely given away some of your good stuff. Hopefully you got some more in the can the way you be claiming, but let it go. Just let it go. And then you have Brooke. I've got to say.

something to Katie. I'm like, do you know, you really don't. She runs over there and Katie is just basking in her success. And you got poor Liam taking in orders. I'm like, I thought you were the IT guy. I can't keep up. And Bill is just like, I'm going to count my cash. But then, Brooke comes and she's like, you happy with yourself? You feel good about the success?

Katie's like, do, but what would make it perfect is if you would just say two words, congratulations, Katie, show me that you care. And Brooke just stared at it like she was crazy. Nope. She said what I won't do, congratulate you. It really is. And at this point, we're just going to have to figure out through time to figure out what we're going to do because now that you have the success of this collection.

you're not going to be able to replicate it because Eric doesn't work with you anymore. Honestly, she should have brought Deke on when she had the chance. He didn't have to be the lead designer. He could have been a designer. He could have been an apprentice. But now I'm supposed to believe that not only is Logan running on all cylinders, you finally found the money for the fabric that I feel like Eric was wanting you to get, or at least she found a knockoff well enough that was...

making sure that I liked the clothes. Some of that was better than the couture I've seen. But now I'm like, well, what do we do with this? And through it all, I'm like, we got a fashion show with Logan before we got a fashion show with Hope for the Future. Which apparently in this week's previews is in jeopardy of being pushed back because of couture. I haven't seen you try to make any progress. As you greatly pointed out, Hope has spent more time at Spencer Publications and the House of Logan than she has at her own.

fashion line that she should be working on. So apparently I'm concerned that it's going to make her feel a certain way. And now that Katie has already used, the Eric Forrester collection, what's next? Well, maybe hope for the future can come over there. No, you won't. You better come up with something different. Steal the designs. That's right. Forrester owes hope for the future. So you better come up with another name. Do not let what you allowed Eric to do.

be done by Hope. You don't even go here. Get out. She can go to Logan, but you will not take one iota of Forrester with you. That would be my preference. It's like Hope Spencer collection coming to Logan. absolutely. Yep. That's what you're going to call it, because you damn sure ain't calling it Hope for the Future, because we got that unlocked. And I'm going have Zende and Thomas be cranking out some great crap that they could have done for you if you had been patient. Couture for Forrester has always been the top tier.

And again, what you been doing? I ain't seen no stick figures. I ain't seen no swatches. You ain't been doing nothing to progress, hope for the future. So the fact that it's on the back burner, because there's nothing burning. There's nothing on the stove. Ugh, whatever. We'll find out this week because we're going to watch it for who? You, we do this for you.

So that concludes this week's episode of Lather Up with La and Chanelle. Don't forget to subscribe and we'll talk to you next week.
