Long workday. Just:

soaps: GH - Tue's(?) ep. More Nurse's Ball. This epie actually had 
musical acts. They cheated on the "nurses" act (with Willow, et al.) as 
they had Doctor Isaiah perform with the nurses in this act - CHEATERS!! 
Meanwhile, Josslyn acts like an unhinged judgemental bitch confronting 
Willow, which Drew intervenes on (hopefully he punches Joss!). Lulu 
confronts Lois and exposes to Lois that she knows the truth about Gio. 
And, not at the Ball, awful Kristina confronts Alexis, but Alexis slaps 
her down *hard* by telling Kristina that she knows Kristina is an 
attempted murderess and that Alexis is being blackmailed by Ava and Ric 
over this so they have to keep quiet.

Abducted in the Everglades (LMN) - LMN was rebroadcasting this - it 
originally aired on Lifetime about a month ago.
    Even by Lifetime standards this was absurd and risible.
    It stars Tori Spelling as "the mom" - and she looks maybe even worse 
than you are anticipating - and Tommi Rose (an actress actually from 
Florida!) as the "wreckless college-age daughter" - Rose has been 
messing with her own face for years now and doesn't look good at all 
these days.
    Rose and her gal pal (Nikki Nunziato - she is actually cute!) go 
partying on Miami Beach during Spring Break where they come upon Rose's 
ex and his cousin. They ex and especially the cousin are up to no good, 
and roofie the two girls, but Rose's gal pal has an adverse reaction. So 
I guess they call her an ambulance? but leave her and split with an 
unconscious Rose, heading to their shack in the Everglades where they 
intend to keep her captive, and... [Step 2: ?.... Step 3: Profit!]
    Spelling springs into action as soon as she realizes her daughter is 
missing, and goes to Miami. As is always the case in movies like this, 
the cops are less than useless, but Spelling comes across a good 
Samaritan (Nick Ballard) who helps her track the daughter down to the 
Everglades.
    This is all less interesting than even I have made this sound, and 
the ex and the cousin are really contemptible villains, but not in any 
good way.
    I would say this Lifetime flick is skippable.

What did you watch?
