Let me know when they’re offering jars of PickleLila or Kelly’s BLTs

Oh that I’d be interested in!

The company Deception started with perfume. Julia Barrett and Dominique were the original owners. GH should offer the original version.

I think Steve was kidding.

Am not interested in buying products from a TV show. Bad enough watching those boring
Shows AND actors on them.

OMG, it’s even worse than I thought it would be, going to be a FF that’s for sure! Do not like that Andy Paige person whomever he or she is, sorry if I’m making assumptions or criticisms, I don’t mean it as an insult, just an observational question.

Well.. I did make me at least google Red Light Therapy. It does appear to have interesting merits. I truly thought it was just a fictional device created for storyline purposes.

It is worth a google.. it actually made me a little more interested in this storyline.

I might be interested if I knew what you’re talking about, please explain. Only one Red Light that I know about and I don’t think it has anything to do with Therapy.

Hi Violet

Just google “Rwd Light Therapy”. The Deceptor, that wand with the circle of red lights Travy, Maxie and Brooklyn are holding is their product. It is a Red Light Therapy device. It uses red LED lights with emit a short red laser light that penatrates the first layer of akin, into the cell, which may cause cell stimulation. It is believed this can make skin look better, and some studies even feel it may situation hair growth. Red Light Therapy was fbeen studied for about 25 years

that is what i read in a googled article about red light Therapy.

Thanks a lot for the info. I’ve never heard a thing about it, but there’s nothing out there that can stimulate this old 90yr.+ skin.

You sound like a very lovely lady Violet. Nothing matters more than that, and much happiness to you!

Thank you so much Brian for the compliment and good wishes. I love the Soaps, have watched most of them for over 65 years and have become very “attached” and opinionated, which a lot of fans will agree, one gentleman puts me in my place every once in a while, but as they say, any attention is better than none.The very best to you.

Red light therapy in skin care and body health has been around for a Long time.

I don’t watch informational and I certainly don’t care for them being incorporated into my soaps.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Cullum Kidnaps Obrecht as Britt’s Replacement to Finish Faison’s Final Project

Published

By

WSB director Ross Cullum is truly as despicable villain as they come, and played with steely intensity by Andrew Hawkes. For the double agents latest crime, you need to look no further than the Friday, June 5 cliffhanger of General Hospital, where in the episode’s final moments he sneaks up on an unassuming Dr. Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) after hiding in the back seat of her car.

Next, he chloroforms her with his intent clear. He plans on forcing her to finish the last leg of Faison’s final project at Wyndemere, since her daughter Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) left town with Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) in tow to get away from Cullum!

In what led to the kidnapping, Cullum had a terse conversation with his business associate and co-conspirator on the project, Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota). It is Sidwell who is preoccupied with wanting to bring Marco’s killer to justice (not knowing it’s the man right in front of him!). Sidwell told Cullum if bringing Marco’s killer to justice wasn’t a priority for the WSB director, then why should protecting Cullum be a priority for him?

SIDWELL VS. CULLUM

The two finally put aside their differences as they have to complete Faison’s final project for it will be highly lucrative for them, useful for their mutual gains, and groundbreaking. In order to do that they need a great mind with a scientific background to finish it up and get them to the finish line since Britt as disappeared.

Later, outside of “General Hospital,” Obrecht is headed back to her car after searching Britt’s office for any clues as to the whereabouts of her daughter. But when she got in the car to drive away, that’s when the aforementioned Cullum strikes!

BROOK LYNN GETS ADVICE FROM A FORMER ADULTERESS

In other key developments, after Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) keeps inserting herself into Chase (Josh Swickard) and Brook Lynn’s (Amanda Setton) life, all with the seeming pretense to pay back Chase for helping her clear her name at the trial, and standing by her, she brings good news in person about baby Phoebe’s adoption to Alexis’ (Nancy Lee Grahn) law office to Chase. Once Brook Lynn heard Chase was on her away over with paperwork, she decided to hightail it out of there for an “emergency” appointment for Deception.

As we come to find out, Brook Lynn meets up with Lucy (Lynn Herring) at the Metro Court pool, She then proceeds to inform Lucy about Willow sniffing around he husband. Lucy says she knows a thing or two about being an adulteress. Brook Lynn wants Lucy to help her send a clear message to Willow to stay away from her husband, or else!

Now below, check out the scenes before Obrecht was kidnapped where she visited Willow, Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) and suspects Willow is up to no good.

Then let us know, with Lucy taking Brook Lynn under her wing, what plot do you think the two will come up with against Willow? What do you think will happen to Obrecht? With Lucas also at Wyndemere trying to bait Sidwell into an attempted murder charge, will he winds up thrown in the secret room with Josslyn?
