Days of Our Lives Recap | Week of Dec. 15


"Aiden, are you hiding something?"


Days of our Lives this week had yet another sturdy week of just straight up soap drama. The thing with Days is that they’re good at finding that middle ground and keeping it stable, but they’ve recently not been able to keep the good drama good for the longterm. Thankfully, they’ve not been stuck in such terrible times when things fell off either. But you can’t be just okay or good forever, you have to surpass that! With the beginnings of a love triangle, possible murder mystery and maybe a taste of happiness for a long suffering character, maybe the stories will shoot back into the stratosphere. Only time will tell in Salem but until then, let’s check out what went down last week!

General Hospital Recap | Week of Dec. 15


Olivia's the heroine of this rom-com!

General Hospital delivered heavily on the dark comedy and bumbling heroine front – two of my absolute favorite genres and character traits! It’s like they knew I would be watching intently this week. Even characters that had always had me unsure had me curious, wanting to cheer for them to do well! How did that even happen and in such a short time? As you’ll see, a lot is possible in Port Charles so let’s get down to it!

Days of Our Lives Recap | Week of Dec. 8


Grand-siblings-in-laws re-connect?

Days of Our Lives this week proved that maybe we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves to claim everything boring on this sudser. There was actually a full heaping of good drama this week though there are still storylines that deserve a good axing (Ben and Abby, Clyde’s buffoonery, anything Paige related). There were two storylines that carried the week along well, and the weight of the show with it! The pieces all seem to be falling into place for a dramatic next few weeks in Salem! Check it out!

Johnny gets Sonny riled up!


General Hospital didn’t disappoint with the action of last week! The excitement was held up to new levels with a police station shootout, prison beat down and dramatic Canadian rescue! There wasn’t a lot that I could say I was displeased about, almost all of it hitting me in one good way or another. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to write that all out so check below for some of my top highlights of the week in Port Charles in the General Hospital Recap for December 8-12, 2014.

Days of Our Lives Recap | Week of Dec. 1


Sonny's flashbacks leave him sweating!

Days of our Lives was… well, lacking on the drama front last week. The condition of the show’s storylines is in stark contrast to what was playing out on screen just a year ago. I could only pick out two storylines really worthy of going over for the entire last week! That’s a big problem! There was a comment that I saw online saying something along the lines of, “all of the storylines on Days at the moment are B or C storylines, there’s no A storyline” which is blindingly true this week. Hopefully Salem, USA can pick itself up out of this creative slump. It needs and deserves it! Check it out!

General Hospital Recap | Week of Dec. 1


Our psycho family sticks together!


General Hospital took a deliciously evil turn this last week. Though the week before’s unproductive return was further dulled down with yet another switch, there was more than enough mystery in the return of major players in Port Charles’ pantheon of evil. But how much mystery is too much mystery? And just how long can these twists in their stories stay thrilling before becoming exhausting? Port Charles had me scratching my head with a lot of these questions this week! Check it out!
