What did you watch?

I got through:
soaps: Y&R - Thur's & Fri's ep. Sharon and Filis[sic!] continue to struggle in captivity, variously bickering and working together - the best bit in these episodes was Filis and Sharon waking up in each other's arms (Filis is a hugger!!), and then recoiling as soon as they realized they were in each other's arms! The mysterious kidnapper (voice) lets them make one phone call, so Sharon and Filis call Nick and Summer, respectively (Summer wasn't in that ep so she wasn't shown), to make up some story about what happened to them, but Nick and Daniel aren't buying the story as there are too many coincidences/oddities. Billy and Sally return to town - Billy is immediately suspicious of the Filis story, while Sally catches up with Audra who tells Sally about her past with Holden. Also, more Adam and Chelsea crap [vomit!].
    GH - Fri's ep. A somewhat disappointing ep. We are once again subjected to awful NuKristina (man I wish this incarnation of the character would just *die*!!) as she gets into it with Ava and Ric (Ric got some great shots in on Kristina!) in front of Sonny, and Alexis and NuNuNuMolly - when her parents get into it, Molly flees, and later admits to Cody that Molly hates that her parents hate each other. Meanwhile, a supplier deal for Deception goes up in smoke, forcing Maxie to consider doing a deal with Jenz Sidwell (that Lucy is pushing), but then Sasha shows up to remind them all that Sidwell kidnapped her. Carly (and Olivia) want to offer Sasha a job, so she doesn't have to work at the Quartermaines anymore.
golf - Young guy Joe Highsmith (played golf at Pepperdine), who had barely made the cut for this tournament, came out of nowhere to defeat Jacob Bridgeman and Jake Knapp (Knapp had a terrible shot at the waterline of one hole, hitting it back into the water, which pretty much killed his lead) to win the Cognizant Classic (what used to be the Jackie Gleason Classic) for his first PGA win.
Murder at the Lighthouse (recorded off Lifetime on Feb. 23) - This was OK, but was a not so subtle iteration of "Misery". Abused wife of a disgraced cop (recent Lifetime staple Skye Coyne, who is up there with Brianna Cohen as Lifetime's most recent "It Girl") tries to flee to Canada, taking a boat across Lake Superior. But the ship (and the captain) are lost on the journey, and she washes up on shore where she is rescued by a kind of a hermit lady (Shelli Manzoline) who is a lighthouse keeper. It's pretty clear early on that the hermit lady is stalling our heroine's escape. Meanwhile, the abusive husband shows up, and when our heroine isn't there, the lighthouse keeper brutally murders him. Now they're wrapped up in murder! which seems to be another reason to keep our heroine around. "Misery"-based wackiness eventually ensues... At least this flick was pretty good at ratcheting up the tension.
