What Did You Watch?

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.
