SOW: What's The Last Book You Read?

LLC says "Never Let Me Go, by Kazuo Ishiguro. It was a great novel; really enjoyable. It's science fiction. It's like his The Remains of the Day; character-driven fiction, but heartbreaking. His writing unfolds so beautifully and slowly. It was a terrific book."


SOW: The List

Sneaks Bearing Gifts - Greek prince Nikolas should have recognized con artist Rebecca as a Trojan horse from the beginning.


SOW: Winners & Losers

Winners:

Johnny - The piano-playing mechanic defended Spinelli and then serviced Olivia's chassis.

Losers:

Spinelli - He endured a body waxing and a beatdown from Matt in quick succession.


SOW: Buzz... Doctors Of The Law

One might expect Alexis to look askance at doctors Robin and Patrick sticking their noses into the Brianna Hughes murder investigation, but the DA has no objection. "It's a twisty little murder mystery, and it's fun that they are in cahoots, trying to figure this thing out. Anyone who can help is welcome," laughs NLG. "Apparently the people who are supposed to be doing their jobs aren't, so if the doctors want to get involved - sure, no problem! It's the budget. Everyone's got to work double duty. Alexis will probably have to operate on somebody soon!"


SOW: Mala lambasts soaps for their continued dangling of incest as romance

Especially GH, using Ethan/Lulu, Johnny/Claudia and Michael/Kristina as examples of grossness.
Her closing line says it all "Newsflash, daytime: dinner with the folks shouldn't be a pickup joint."


SOW: Editor's Opinion

Hmmm, a mistress murdered under mysterious (non-mob) circumstances, a bunch of folks gather to sing karaoke. And Jake's doesn't blow up. These are actual stories on *GH*? Okay, sure Sonny orders Dominic rubbed out this week, and Jason and Johnny do some killing... but the mob machinations are not the only game in town. It's been too long since TPTB dropped the F-bomb - fun - on PC. It's refreshing to see characters letting their hair down and getting a little silly. I look forward to more stories in which the only hit is a song.


SOW: Andrea Sets Up Alexis For A Fall


MB says that Andrea is a very scorned woman and wants Alexis to be punished for what she did. Andrea wants this all to go away and why that is, remains to be seen.

Andrea sees that Alexis dismisses her tryst with the mayor as a momentary lapse in judgment while also learning that Robin suspect Andrea of killing Brianna. MB says this only fuels Andrea's disgust, hearing that she's now a suspect. She wants the focus off her and her husband and onto Alexis.

Andrea sneaks into Alexis' house, she knows exactly where her spare key is, which MB says you can read into any way you like. When she gets into the house she sees Alexis' laptop and gets an idea. The computer is on so she gets right into her e-mail.

She makes it seem like Alexis has been sending her husband stalkeresque e-mails. To push the envelope further with the obsessed theme, Andrea stages a meeting at the MC with Alexis where she puts on a fight with her in front of Scrubs.

MB laughs and says Andrea totally sets up Alexis and tells her that her behavior has to stop, she's out of control, her e-mails, her phone calls, she's got to stop doing this.

And Andrea makes sure Scrubs knows exactly how to interpret that by telling Patrick that Alexis wanted to meet her and she shouldn't have met with her. She tells him that Alexis is after her husband and wants to continue their affair.

Her plan works perfectly and Alexis is suspended from her job as the e-mails become public.

MB says that at that point she'd rather see Alexis take the fall and go to jail than either her or husband.

But who is actually guilty?

MB says that Robin's theory is interesting and you see hints of what could be happening, but then something else comes along, and it all takes a left turn...


SOW: A Closer Look - Spinelli

SOW asks if Spin thinks he'll impress Maxie by singing.

BA says that Spin doesn't know how bad he is. He's practicing an aria around the house. He's singing a song everyone will recognize. It isn't until he overhears Maxie on the phone with Patrick that he realizes that Maxie thinks he's terrible. Maxie is concerned that if he gets up and performs, people will laugh at him and it'll stifle his confidence and make him think he's less of a man which will erase whatever progress they've made in his confidence with her.

SOW asks if Patrick can help.

BA says that Scrubs come over to talk to Spin about the Brianna Hughes thing, trying to enlist his help. He tells them that as much as he'd like to help, he has more pressing personal matters and finally admits that it's about singing at karaoke night at Jake's and how awful Maxie thinks he is. Patrick remembers Eli Love talking about some pitch correction software and a mic. It's a bit fantastical because it's basically a magical mic. He doubts any such thing actually exists.

SOW says great, problem solved right?

BA says that Spin feels bad about using the mic because he wants to show Maxie some grand gesture to tell her how he feels and he wants it to be heartfelt. He looks at using the mic as cheating but at the same time he doesn't know if should make a fool out of himself for Maxie by embarrassing himself and her. If he didn't do it, it would show cowardice and that's part of his character.

SOW says surely he's tempted.

BA says he is. Maxie hears him at the apartment and tells him he's learned a lot in a couple of days and she can't wait to hear him sing for her. That's when he really starts to feel bad and like he's duped her.

SOW says after she hears how great he sounds, that must clinch him using it at Jake's.

BA says he intends to use it but he renders the mic useless by accidentally dropping it in a pitcher of beer. So then it becomes about whether he actually sings to her or not, because he can't use the mic.

SOW says, since she's clueless she's urging him to perform.

BA says that Maxie thinks the mic is just a lucky mic and that he doesn't need it. She thinks maybe he's chickening out or doesn't feel strongly enough about her to do it and that makes him feel worse, that he wouldn't be brave for her.

SOW asks if he will sing for her?

BA says that's the cliffhanger.

SOW asks if he enjoyed singing throughout the story.

BA says he had a blast.

SOW notes he sings in real life.

BA says he loves anything to do with music so a musical storyline has been fun. He's sung on the show before, but it's never been "for real." They used his My Funny Valentine as a background song in one of Spin's old school P.I. fantasies and Spixie did a song and dance number Scrubs wedding. But it's always been a fantasy. Spin has never sung in "real" life.

SOW asks if he's a karaoke guy in real life.

BA says he's become one. He never thought he could sing pop because he was trained in musical theater and that's the kind of singing he was used to doing. But now he doesn't care, he thinks it's fun to sing. Spin is looking at this as not just fun but as a testament to his for Maxie.

SOW asks if anyone else gets in on the action.

BA says absolutely. The cool thing is that it's karaoke night for everybody: Robin, Patrick, Nikolas, Lucky, Rebecca, Elizabeth, Lulu, Ethan, Coleman, Maxie, Diane, Max. So not only does Spin sing, but other people sing, too. It was a long day of shooting but really fun. It's fun to see the characters having fun and the actors having fun in turn. It's karaoke, so it can be silly. No one is up there taking themselves too seriously.

LW has the "Just Asking" section

She's never been out of the country, would like to go to Europe and really wants to go to Alaska. Loves her life and wouldn't want to trade it with anyone, has no embarrassing moments blah blah blah.

Question she's most often asked is what it's like to work with Mo.

Person she'd call if she needed bail money on her show is Steve Burton. He's got money and he would help you out. And Kelly Monaco would be there in a second to take care of you.
