What did you watch?

With things starting to wind down a little for the year, I got through soaps... and a Tubi movie yesterday!
soaps: GH - Tue's and Wed's ep's. A lot of this was NuNuLulu (aka. "Babe"!) on the warpath - "Babe", I mean Lulu! confronts Nina about where Charlotte is, not understanding that Nina and Valentin broke up years ago, and Nina doesn't appreciate the intrusion! Carly then takes Lulu to see Jack Brennan, and Lulu insists that Brennan call Valentin, which Brennan does, but there's no answer. Brennan goes back to the WSB office, where it's revealed he now wants Valentin found as well, as Valentin is bringing down too much heat now. Finally, Maxie finally meets up with Lulu and they catch up on the last 4 years... Anna, Jason and Spinelli maybe get a clue on Valentin's whereabouts by coercing Martin Gray... Curtis tests Drew, but Drew punts, so Curtis confirms that Drew intends to betray him; Curtis complains to Jordan, and then Portia about this, and Curtis reveals that he has convinced Michael to help him get Drew booted from Aurora Inc... Weird! Dex's new partner is Gina Vitori! GH keeps hiring Lifetime and Asylum vets! Anyway, after Dex and his new partner (Vitori) break up a fight between drunk college students, Dex is stabbed by someone (almost certainly Cyrus), with Felicia witnessing most of it... Bitch Willow is still giving Sasha the cold shoulder (after Sasha gave Willow a dose of the cold truth!), and Maxie asks for an explanation.
Shark Bait (Tubi) - A 2022 Tubi Original flick!
    This is one of those annoying flicks that has a bunch of (unknown!) British actors pretending to be Americans (from Kansas!). This kind of thing angers me, so I'm immediately rooting for the shark!
    This flick also breaks no new ground (and fails to even compensate with naked nudity!!) - it was a pretty similar storyline to the 2024 film "Something in the Water" (though that film came out after "Shark Bait", in the latter's defense): five young adults (4 of them idiots) trap themselves in shark infested open waters after stealing two jet skis and acting like morons in an incident that injures at least two of them, one of them seriously.
    From here, you know where this is going, with them being picked off one at a time until just one or two are left.
    This ostensibly stars Brit Holly Earl, who looks good in a bikini if you like tiny athletic built types, and who has a more substantial filmography that the others here, but only just slightly.
    Anyway, there are better shark flicks out there - for example, I thought that "The Reef: Stalked" was significantly better than this one. Even "Open Water 3" was.
    The only novel part of this flick is that I couldn't figure out where it was filmed - the end-credits finally reveal that it was filmed in Malta! No wonder I didn't recognize it!
