It might dry up OK by itself and come back.

But probably not.

I would've turned it off asap and let it sit for a week or 2 to hopefully dry up.

No I mean is it an LCD, plasma, older tv?

If this TV is an LCD TV I had the same problem a few years ago. My sister-in-law was babysitting our kids, a decision I regret to this day, and decided it would be fun to have a water gun fight in the house. Low and behold she sprayed the top of the TV and water got into the screen and now we have places along the bottom of the the TV where we don't have any color or it is rainbow colored. So even if you get some of your screen back, you will not get it all back. This incident was five years ago and the damage is still there (TV is usable though.)

its a plasma...and its not visible at all the whole screen is green.

I would say that the TV is probably gone and that you could try getting it repaired (see if you warranty covers liquid spills) but unless it is covered under warranty it would probably be cheaper just to buy a new TV. Also, unless your cousin is a kid (i.e.: under working age) I would have him pay for at least some of the cost of the repairs/new TV.

It's buggered IMO. Claim for accidental damage on your home insurance.
