Lucky's back ... Jonathan Jackson's terrific return to General Hospital
Tuesday was Jonathan Jackson's first day back on General Hospital in the role of Lucky Spencer. It's a role he originated (as a youngster), coming onto the show in 1993 when Luke and Laura -- Anthony Geary and Genie Francis -- made their much-heralded return. Jonathan stayed on General Hospital till 1999, winning three Daytime Emmys in his tenure, and basically stamped the character as his own. That's why when he decided to return now, it's been a big deal.
Genie Francis returns to General Hospital...again
One of the biggest stars of daytime is coming back to the tube. Genie Francis, the Emmy-award winning actress who created the role of Laura -- as in Luke and Laura -- will return to General Hospital on August 26 for a brief guest stint. This will be a very interesting return, too, because her last tenure on the show in 2007 was not only award-worthy, it also ended with her character resuming the catatonia in which she's been trapped for the past few years.So how can she return to General Hospital? There's a hint in Genie's quotes to the Associated Press. "This is a short visit. It's a mother-daughter story. Years ago when I started playing the character as a 14-year-old girl, it was a mother-daughter story, only I was the daughter. So it's kinda cool this is full circle."
In Treatment: Paul and Gina-Week One
(S01E05) "I think this was a mistake coming here today." - Paul Weston Now this is what I was waiting for. Sure, it was still essentially a single therapy session in real time for thirty minutes, but it was Gabriel Byrne on the patient side and the always brilliant Dianne Wiest as his therapist Gina. Only it's been nearly ten years since he's seen her due to some kind of bad history, and their professional relationship was more complicated than simply patient/therapist. So out of the blue he called her and she agreed to see him, but was he wanting to see her as a friend, a colleague, a therapist? Gina had no idea what Paul wanted, and I don't think Paul did either.
As I expected, the Friday episodes will be the fulcrum on which the entire series balances, and if this episode is any indication, I officially think the series is going to be amazing. So much of the history of these two characters and the bad blood was hinted at, but thank god we weren't spoon fed information through awkward dialogue, and the acting on both sides to capture all those buried feelings bubbling near the surface was stellar.
It doesn't look good for Surface
I was afraid of this. Sources tell me that
it doesn't look like there will be a second season of NBC's Surface. The network won't make the official
announcement until next month, when they unveil their fall schedules, but it looks like the show has ended.But let's try to save it! Yeah, these petition things often don't make a difference, but there's no harm. Here's the Save Surface on NBC petition. Almost 12,000 signatures so far.
It's a shame if this doesn't see a second season. It's better than Invasion and Threshold.
Surface: Season Finale
I like a show that doesn't BS around with dull scenes in its season
finale. Right off the bat we're given the scenario: Miles and his family are packing up to escape town before the
tsunami hits, Caitlin's Vespa is stolen when she arrives too late to find Miles, and she's knocked out when the crook
pushes her, and Laura steals a rental car from the airport and blows by a road block to find Rich, who has been locked
in a room at the mysterious lab. (And what is Jackson's name and pic doing on the lab's computers? Section
Chief?!?)
Here we go!
Surface: Episode 14
You know how sometimes they'll advertise an episode of a TV show as the
"episode you must see" or "the episode that changes everything?" Usually it's just hype or wishful
thinking. They didn't advertise episode 14 of Surface as an episode that changes everything or a must
see. But they could have. Because, well, this is the episode that changes everything.
Surface: Episode 13
One of the things that I like about Surface (one of many things) is that I really don't know
where it's going with its story. I had assumptions I made about where these creatures came from, and they turned out to
be wrong. I made an assumption on how the story was going to play out between Laura, Rich, and Miles, and I was
wrong on that too. So I'm not going to try to predict what's going to happen anymore. I'm just going to sit back
and enjoy the remaining episodes for this season.
Surface: Episode 11
Who would have thought that, just when Laura and Rich are so close to convincing the world that mysterious sea
creatures do indeed exist in the oceans around the world, the person who could potentially screw up that disclosure and
put their lives in danger would be...Keith Olbermann?!?TV Squad Hot Topics
