Henry learns Vienna was never pregnant from Katie. He calls Vienna out for lying to him. Vienna tries to defend her behavior but Henry will have none of it. Vienna calls Katie and yells at her for revealing the truth. Henry bangs on Barbara’s door to no avail. He leaves her a message begging her to come back to him. Vienna swears to herself that she’ll find a way to get Henry back.  Katie feels lousy for misleading Henry. Chris comforts her.   Will can’t let go of his gut feeling that something’s wrong with Barbara. Jack promised to look into it. At the EOD, Gwen stumbles across Barbara’s abandoned passport.   Katie and Vienna both want to talk to Henry.  He opens his hotel room door and asks to speak with Vienna alone.  He’s furious with her and her lie and wants an annulment, or if it comes to it, a divorce.  Vienna is angry, says fine, marry Barbara – if he can find her.  Henry is also furious with Katie, who tries to talk to him downstairs.  Henry tries to go see Barbara, but she’s not in her room.  Katie tells him that Barbara knew about Vienna’s secret.  Henry presumes she might have been kidnapped so as not to stop the wedding.  He sees Vienna while she’s ready for a massage, threatens her and asks where Barbara is.  Barbara has a Henry VIII fantasy in the warehouse.  Paul and Emily, and Gwen and Will, are in the fantasy too, all explaining why Barbara deserves punishment.  But she defends herself.  She rouses from the fantasy, puts down the clown, and sets her mind to escaping.  Will goes to Margo about Barbara.  Margo has heard that Barbara hasn’t left the country and she’ll now be considered a missing person.  Will and Emily argue about Barbara.  Gwen and Will then go to the Lakeview, where they find a maid has found Barbara’s phone.  Paul just wishes Barbara would call, while Emily wouldn’t mind if she didn’t.

Lily graciously tells Holden she’ll help with the kids for Holden and Molly’s wedding. She admits to Craig, that pretending to be happy for Holden is slowly killing her. He suggests she and Carly go to New York to sign the contract for the perfume factory. Carly’s game and Lily’s excited. Craig encourages Lily to continue pretending Craig’s not involved with the perfume company. He’d like to prove to himself and the world that he can become a better person.  Dusty’s glum that Craig’s keeping Johnny at an arm’s length. Luckily, Janet runs into Johnny’s babysitter and convinces her to let Janet care for Johnny for the day. Dusty’s thrilled to have lunch with Johnny. They all go to a movie and Dusty and Janet can’t deny the current between them. At the EOD, Dusty asks Janet to dine with him at Metro that night.  Anthony Blackthorn shows up and knows Jan, from his life as Tony Nero.  Dusty is rubbed the wrong way by this guy and invokes Ralph, which upsets Janet.   Jack and Carly go to Metro for a date and see Dusty and Janet there.  Janet’s receptive to Dusty’s flirting. Dusty still doesn’t like Blackthorns presence in Janet’s life, but she insists their relationship is innocent. Dusty tells Lucinda that Blackthorn’s been acting like he’s involved with Worldwide. Lucinda berates Blackthorn for not keeping his eye on the prize – ruining Craig. Dusty asks his executive assistant to investigate Blackthorn.   Carly finally hears that Janet and Liberty will be living in the cabin at the Snyder Farm and is upset at Jack for not telling her.  Jack absolutely cares for Carly, and kisses her, and would make love to her but Carly stops him, displeased with how things are right now.  Craig and Lily are in New York because of a baggage handlers’ strike.  The power in the motel goes out and with it the AC.  So Craig and Lily must improvise things to do, eat and how to stay cool.  Lily rubs some ice on herself and then Craig gets her back, asking aloud why they never got together.  Parker mopes around the farm watching Liberty and Faith work with Gabriel. Jack goes to Carly to see what they can do about Parker finding a summer job. Parker gets a commercial offered to him, and Carly agrees to stay in town so he can do it. Lily’s freaked out that Carly won’t be joining her in New York to sign the contract for the perfume factory. So she asks Craig to come along. Craig obliges her and they sign the contract with Francoise. Due to a baggage strike, all flights are grounded in New York and Lily and Craig must share a hotel room. Meanwhile, Jack and Carly bond over the success of their son. At the EOD, Jack asks Carly to dinner at Metro too.  Faith follows Parker to the commercial shoot and they flirt. Much to Gabriel’s disappointment, Liberty’s also compelled to go to the shoot, but leaves quickly when she sees Parker and Faith flirting.  Lily and Craig wake up in NY and Francoise catches them in semi-undress. They insist it’s not what it looks like – they just sleep in few clothes because the power and therefore air-conditioning was out. Francoise sends an incriminating photo to Lucinda.  Lucinda’s furious, and places a one-way phone call asking someone to return home.  Lucinda also let’s Holden know that Lily’s stuck in NY. When Holden calls to check in with her, Craig answers the phone. Holden’s suspicious but both Lily and Craig maintain they simply ran into each other in NY. Molly’s perturbed that Holden’s still affected by Lily’s love life. Holden claims he’s just concerned about his children. Bob turns down Mona Cross’ and Invicta’s offer to buy the hospital when she’s put off by Reid and Luke even though they aren’t and weren’t in a relationship when the money was donated.  He asks Reid to consider replacing him after working on his people skills.  Bob tells Kim he’s eyeing Reid for the job and she gets very upset at his choice.

General Hospital

General Hospital’s Réal Andrews and Finola Hughes Deliver the ‘Power Performances of the Week’

June 4, 2023

Two different storylines, two noteworthy performances, and both from General Hospital, made our weekly kudofest.  The first, belongs to the heartbreaking performance that still has everyone talking by Réal Andrews as Marcus Taggert.

Last week’s episodes of GH, brought with it the results of the DNA test that ‘proves’ just who is Trina’s (Tabyana Ali) biological father, Taggert or Curtis (Donnell Turner)? When Trina opened the envelope to reveal the answer in front of Portia, Curtis and Taggert, she announced it was Curtis, who was her dad.

However, if you watched the scenes carefully, you saw the subtle work by Andrews as he was attempting to remain calm before receiving the answer and what followed afterwards, but that was in front of Trina, Portia and Curtis and his attempt to put on a brave face through it all.  In reality, Taggert was devastated by the news.  When he said his goodbyes, Taggert got inside the GH elevator.  Once there, he lost it and began to cry, punching the elevators walls with his fist.  A five-hank

Meanwhile, Finola Hughes once again showed us the layers and the veracity of Anna Devane. This time, while at WSB headquarters, Anna’s past as a double agent comes to light.  Agent Hersley had her under arrest, as she is being accused of treason against the state.

While Anna’s past as a DBX double agent were known to the agency, they weren’t known to the public. Thanks to Victor’s will reading and the revenge plot he set in motion against her, now Anna is up against more formidable foes.  When speaking with her lawyer, Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight), Anna says how can she dispute the charges against her when they are true?  She realizes in this instant that the WSB wants to hang her out to dry to cover their own asses.  Hersley threatens Anna, that if she fights the charges, they will be forced into looking into the actions of her associates, Robert Scorpio and Annie Donnelly.

Not having it, Anna throws down saying she will seriously embarrass the WSB if they pursue this … and if anything happens to Robert, Annie or anyone else she cares about, she will take the bureau down with her.  After Hersley caves, Martin asks Anna what happened. Anna states she is no longer an agent and will never be again.

This material gave the mighty Hughes the material to shine, as Anna went from having the rug pulled out from under her, to fighting back, to now not knowing what her future holds after saving others.

For all the reasons cited above, Michael Fairman TV names the work of Réal Andrews and Finola Hughes as last week’s ‘Power Performances of the Week”.

Do you agree with our picks of GH’s Réal and Finola? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below, but first check out some clips from their work below.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown: Roman Reigns Discards Jimmy Uso From The ‘Bloodline’, Will Jey Be Next?

June 3, 2023

While Roman Reigns was presented with a new WWE Universal Championship belt courtesy of Triple H, a night of familial drama would ensue for The Bloodline on Friday Night Smackdown.

Last night’s episode was also pivotal to Reigns enduring run as the kingpin of the WWE. The Tribal Chief has now held the championship for over 1,000 days. The last time any wrestler approached that was 40 years ago with the legendary Pedro Morales.

After Reigns was presented with a shiny new belt (that Triple H secured around Roman’s waist), out came the Usos. Earlier in the night, Reigns’ special counsel, Paul Heyman, told Solo Sikoa that he received confirmation from WWE official Adam Pearce that Sikoa’s brothers (the Usos) would not be in attendance.  Well, he heard wrong!

As Reigns was about to address the crowd, the music hit and standing in front of the champ were Jimmy and Jey.  Now, the storyline that has captivated the WWE Universe could move forward.  When we last saw the Usos and Reigns in the ring, it was at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia.  It was there that Jimmy Uso kicked Roman in the head, after his cousin roughed him up and pushed him around.

This time, Jimmy and Roman had a long staredown. Finally, The Tribal Chief ordered Jey Uso to kick his brother in the face. Reigns continually barked orders at Jey, but Jey refused to comply.  When Jimmy got on the mic, he let Reigns know that he has become manipulative and abusive. He warned his younger brother, Solo, that he would go down in flames once Roman was done using him, too.

Next, Reigns handed the mic to Solo and told him to choose sides … the Tribal Chief or his brothers? At first, Sikoa ‘acknowledged’ Reigns, but then in a major moment walked over to stand beside his brothers, leaving Roman all alone on his “Island of Relevancy”.

In an effort to keep the peace, Jimmy Uso asked Reigns if he could move forward with respect for every one of them.  Jimmy told Roman that he is their brother, too, in an effort to put what’s happened in the past behind them. Could he do that?  Now with tears in his eyes, and seemingly conflicted, Reigns moved in for big embrace for Jimmy.  However, it was all a set-up. Roman said “no’ and out of the corner of his eye signaled Sikoa who was also in on the double cross. Solo gave the Samoan Spike to Jimmy who went down as Jey looked on and went to help his brother.

As Roman left the ring with Heyman and Sikoa by his side, Reigns’ special council asked him, “What about Jey?” A confident Reigns said that Jey would fall in line, as per usual.

You could not have found better soap opera on any channel than this story right here! The dissolution of the ‘Bloodline’ has to be near.

What will happen next? Will it be the Usos vs. Roman and Sikoa? Will Jey or Jimmy challenge Reigns for the championship? Who will swerve who next? Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first check out the highlights from the ‘Bloodline’s’ story from last night’s ‘Smackdown’ below.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Cameron Begins His Plot to Frame Nick As His Return Rocks Sharon to the Core

June 3, 2023

After having a flashback of calling Sharon (Sharon Case) ‘his dream girl’, Cameron Kirsten (Linden Ashby) escalates his revenge plot against Sharon and Nick (Joshua Morrow), when he heads to Crimson Lights and comes face to face with them.

Nick has already had it, while Sharon is visibly shaken.  Cameron says he just stopped to give Sharon a proper hello, now that he is back in Genoa City and out of prison. He then adds … that he ran into their daughter, Faith (Reylynn Caster), and comments on what a beauty she is.

Those buzz words set in motion the reaction Cameron was hoping for.  Nick warns the ex-convict to stay away from their daughter. Cameron goes on to say that he just can’t understand why Nick is getting so worked up and violent when he comes in peace.  When Nick questioned Cameron as to what he wants, Cameron coyly says, “That’s a discussion for another time.”  He takes another gander at Sharon and heads out.

While already using the word ‘violent’, it’s clear that Cameron is going all out to payback Nick.  Next week on the CBS daytime drama series, Kirsten takes things up a notch ticking off Nick even further.

According to Soap Opera Digest on their latest issue on newsstands now, Chance (Conner Floyd) will arrive at Crimson Lights to give Nick the news that Kirsten is pressing battery and assault charges against him.  According to Joshua Morrow, “Nick is stunned and swears to Chance that he didn’t touch Cameron.”  Things take an even uglier turn, when Cameron shows up not looking so good.

Watch two key clips of Cameron’s return to Genoa City and his confrontation with Nick and Sharon and a preview for next week’s Y&R.

Now let us know, will Cameron’s plot land Nick in jail leaving a pathway for him to go after Sharon and Faith? Share your thoughts on the story thus far via the comment section.
