What Did You Watch?

Started trying to get some work done yesterday (only somewhat successful!), but I did manage to get through some things on TeeVee:
soaps: Mon's ep's.
    DOOL - This was 100% (Fake!)John and Bo stuff, so I didn't find it very interesting. On the (Fake!)John front, most of the people who had come back for this weren't even in this episode! In the end, when (Fake!)John dies, only Marlena is there! Meanwhile, Bo almost dies, but is "kicked out of limbo" by his dead son, and so awakes from his coma at the end... Bah!
    DOOL - Good for Brook Lynn! - Her wretched granny (Lois's mom) tries to browbeat Brook Lynn into "forgiveness" for Lois (and hersef) but, Gawd bless her! Brook Lynn sticks to her guns and rejects both Lois and the granny. Rocco finds out that Gio is his brother, asking Lulu about it, just as Dante shows up - so Lulu and Dante try to explain to Rocco what happened (and Lulu's part in it). Gio goes to Sonny to find out more about what happened - Gio tells Sonny that he is in no mood to forge a "relationship" with Dante. In the end, Gio shows up as Brook Lynn rejects Lois and the granny. Meanwhile, Lucky tells Lizzie that Kristina was the one behind the car accident. And Laura is beginning to suspect that Alexis is up to funky stuff with the Casadine trust, and the other lawyer dude pretty much knows it.
School Spirits (Pee+) - Ep's #2.1 & 2.2.
    Well, that didn't take long - they resolve the "Simon thinks Maddie's 'ghost' is an insane hallucination" plotline from the season #1 finale all within episode #2.1.
    Much of season #2 seems to be following up on the ghost who hijacked Maddie's body -  Janet Hamilton (Jess Gabor) - and gives background on her.
    Meanwhile, Xavier (Spencer Macpherson), dies for a few seconds in the hospital and sees the "ghost world", before he is revived. So when Simon starts trying to explain that Maddie's body has been "hijacked" by a "ghost", Xavier is the only one who believes it.
    Simon starts trying to track down Janet-in-Maddie's-body, but he and Xavier discover her old farm house just as she burns it down.
    Maddie and the ghosts try to track down Mr. Martin who has seemingly disappeared after Maddie confronted him in the season finale. What is clear is that both Mr. Martin and Janet know more about the "ghost world" than they've letting on.
    I was amazed that Alison Thornton (as Claire's cheerleader main minion/frenemy) actually showed up in episode #2.2. - I figured that Thornton had gotten too big for a supporting role like this between seasons, so I was not expecting to see her in season #2.
