SOD thumbs up!!

SOAP OPERA DIGEST THUMBS UP!!!

How adorable are Spixie? Sure we've seen the mismatched scenario before, but thanks to the spirited performances and natural chemistry between KS and BA, this one dynamic duo that evokes laughter and heart. What gives this pair its unique rooting interest is that they're both losers at life: She's a self-centered friendless fashion plate who has endured more loss in her young life than anyone should have to. He's a shy computer geek with a cumbersome vocabulary who thrives on junk food and pot(at least he used to). Together, however, these two are magic in the dark, dreary, violent world of PC, a little levity goes a long way.

Carolyn Hennesy on Spinelli:

From her messageboard: (She needs to be his mommy)

http://z3.invisionfree.com/Carolyn_Hennesy/


If Carolyn could spend an afternoon with one character she would want to spend it with Spinelli. She thinks that he has a mind like Diane's, except his is a little more evolved. Spinelli fascinates Diane and Spinelli fascinates Carolyn - the way he reacts to Maxie and Lulu. He's trying to find that human vulnerability. She couldn't be around Anthony or Claudia, that kind of dark and menacing would be tough to be around for an afternoon. You would never know if you would end up with a knife in your back.

"IN THE ZONE" interview with JMB

The Bradford parts of JMB's interview..


JULIE: I would never want to play Spinelli, because he says way too much stuff, and I don't understand half of what he's saying--only Bradford can pull that off.

SOAPKING: ABC use to do Fan february events, OLTL did a character switch.

JULIE: It would be funny to see Jason play Spinelli,

SOAPKING: and have Bradford play Jason.

JULIE: that would be awesome.



SOAPKING: Speaking of Bradford, the amount of fanfare that the two of you get for the relationship of Lulu/Spinelli, how did that come about foryou? We know that Bradford was suppose to be short term and turned into something bigger. How is it working with him?

JULIE: Oh my gosh, he's wonderful. Clearly he's brought a huge element to the show that is very unique to GH, and they saw that immediately when he was working.. He is so professional and so easy to work with that they would be stupid if they didn't have him as a permanent character on the show.

I love working with him. I LOVED all the fan appreciation for Lulu/Spinelli. It's hard because once the two characters actually get together it's almost like the fans are unsatisfied and don't want it anymore. There is a bigger fanbase for the anticipation of a couple, then when the couple actually get together, I have found. Especially with Lulu/Spinelli, Lulu clearly would just eat Spinelli alive. Probably just hurt him and become a horrible horrible character on the show. It is probably wise they didn't put them together.

Unfortunately, I think alot of the fans had to choose between Lulu/Logan and Lulu/Johnny and move out of Lulu/Spinelli, and it makes me sad. I really liked working with him so much and really liked THEIR chemistry.

Now he's really working with Kirsten alot, so hopefully there is a good group of fans out there for him and Maxie. Spinelli needs to get the girl finally. He needs to get the girl.

SOAPKING: They're LOUD. (hee)

Of Moose and Men

Recap: May 5th--May 6th

Our evening begins with Jason and Spinelli tracking down Ian Devlin for answers regarding Michael's shooting. Little do they know, there is a stowaway on board.

After giving Jason a million dollar smile, Spinelli actually gets to drive the Mob Mobile.

"Look mom! I'm driving with my eyes closed!"

He drives too slow for Stone Cold's tastes, looking out for baby moose and lizards on the road. Jason irritation at the grasshopper's cautionary driving is tested when Spinelli has to slam on the brakes as a moose gets in front of the SUV. As he does this, he flings Maxie out of her hiding spot in the back seat. She decided to stoaway for the night's adventure.

To say the least, Jason is not pleased. He drops her off at a bus stop. Jason then tells Spinelli to frisk Maxie for the keys she stole to get into the SUV. The Jackal falters a little. Turns out Maxie had the keys hidden in her shirt...Hmmm...Anyway, Jason wants to get a move on. Spinelli tells her that he cannot abandon Jason at that moment and stay with her at the bus stop because Stone Cold is out for revenge and very emotional, and since Jason has never left him in his hour of need Spinelli cannot do the same.

On the road, Spinelli confesses to Jason that he is actually in love with Maximista. Jason is surprised and asks "What about Lulu?". Spinelli explains that he loves the Original Blonde One as a dear friend but his heart no longer races for her. Maxie has him under her spell but he doubts she will ever look on him with affection. Jason warns Spinelli that he once knew a woman once like Maxie who had a way of destroying the things she loved. Spinelli seems genuinely aware of the risk involved with loving a girl like Maxie.

Back at the bus stop, Maxie has been taken hostage by Ian. She sends a text message to Spinelli for help. Jason and Spinelli arrive just as things are getting tense between the doctor and Maxie. Spinelli begs Ian not to hurt her. Ian confesses to shooting Michael but won't say who hired him. He is distracted long enough for Maxie free herself from him. Jason shoots Ian as Maxie runs into Spinelli's arms.

Afterwards, the police arrive and Maxie explains to Mac what happened, how Jason shot Ian, but then adds that Spinelli did most of the saving. Our Jackal couldn't be more pleased by her comments.
