A Table at the Tan-O: Conversations About the World of General Hospital

So it looks like Kevin and Ace might be heading for the land of good butter and Guinness? A sad development for everyone, but also a potentially adorable spinoff? And Jacinda chose to stick around, but maybe she should have headed out of town. Will Michael forgive her? Will Kristina ever learn not to interfere with bags of money? Plus, someone needs to keep an eye on Charlotte and Danny! Also, it looks like Curtis and Isaiah are ab...

Happy New Year, dear Tan-O family! Gia and Keisha will be working on a bit of self-improvement this year, but no noticeable progress yet. Now, in Port Charles the most improved fella might just be Cody! Molly might have the $10 words, but Cody knows exactly what a woman wants to hear. Jason might need a lesson. Curtis definitely needs a lesson. And with all of the fireworks there was bound to be some action! Sparks seem to be flyin...

Gia and Keisha are back and would like to thank everyone for coming back to the Tan-O! Lots of ground to cover! There were many great moments and performances over the past week with Tracy leading the way. Another standout was Portia! Alexis hung her out to dry and her family wasn't far behind. For someone who claims to care about the baby, Curtis doesn't seem too concerned about Portia's wellbeing. Isaiah is looking better and bet...

The trial continues....to be not very exciting. Will there be a shocking twist? We've earned a shocking twist. And now Britt and Brad have been arrested. Make better choices, you guys! Yeesh. Meanwhile Charlotte and Nina have a lovely lunch together, and Nina teaches Charlotte to trust no one. Valentin would be touched. Now, when will Joss figure out Valentin is teaching Carly a lesson or two? And what will she do with this informa...

It's time for Willow's trial, which means a lot of ladies in suits. And Nina is still doing everything she can to help Willow; she'll worry about the consequences later. Meanwhile, Brad is back! What a delightful surprise! Britt was so excited to see him that she spilled the beans about the diabolical cold fusion research she's working on. Also, Joss and Jason are teaming up, and Carly and Valentin are putting their heads together....

Jason is getting closer to the truth about Britt, but not in a very Jason way. She caught him snooping around! Shame on you, Jason. And Tracy is back! She found out about Ned's little visit to GH, but thankfully didn't yell at everybody too much. Rocco has been spared more jailtime, which, let's face it, he wouldn't have survived. Also, Valentin is settling in at Carly's, and apparently has the palate of a child. Plus, Portia is bo...

If you thought General Hospital was about rich families and crime lords, think again. It's about eyelid mites. Easily overlooked, but not anymore. Poor Elizabeth. Meanwhile, Anna is trapped on Spoon Island, but she can really focus on her yoga now, so she should be very centered and limber if she ever gets out of there. Valentin, on the other hand, is freezing but about to go from Carly's shed to her attic. Sounds a little naughty....

Britt let Jason see her stomach! In some cultures, that means they're engaged! And Lucas asked Pascal to fix him a plate! In some cultures, that means he's a dead man! Also, there are a lot of people sneaking around Port Charles right now. And ghosts. And angry teens. Kevin couldn't have picked a better time to come home!

Let the honeymoon begin? Willow's wedding night turned out pretty well for.....Michael. And Curtis had a pretty good night too. Turns out canceling a hit is quite a turn on. And Emma and Gio had a pretty good night too---springing a bunch of dogs!! Wouldn't it be great if Sonny kept all of the dogs, and they became important characters on the show? Now Laura. Laura was having a great night with her beloved Kevin (so nice to have Ke...

Thanksgiving dinner made it to the Quartermaine table--briefly--but then was whisked off to GH in the true holiday spirit. Although, it didn't look like there was enough food for more than five or six people. Luckily, Portia and Isaiah didn't want to fill up on food before they got down to business in her office, so that meant more turkey for everyone else. Meanwhile, Marshall and Stella have caused Trina to lose her appetite. Well...

Well, that Sidwell is not a nice fellow. Having dear Rocco roughed up in juvie. Not cool. And Britt has got herself in quite a situation. Meanwhile, Willow is back with Drew. Awful. The good news is Liesl has helped Willow and Nina patch things up, so Willow could probably convince Nina to shoot Drew for her if she starts feeling a little hemmed in. And poor Portia should just get out of town. Let's see what Nathan turns up now tha...

Laura! What a night! Yeesh! And so much emotion! Where the hell is Kevin when you need him?! And Britt too! Poor Britt! Keep trying, Jason! Also, great moment between Brook Lynn and Gio! Another not so great moment between Carly and Jack. And what has he done with Vaughn? He's going to have both Carly and Joss gunning for him. Which is fine.

And just like that, a beautiful man is gone. Of course, the Dalton character was not so beautiful. What will happen next? Will Laura admit to finding a dead professor in her trunk? Who will suffer the consequences of this? And Britt! How is she going to keep her cool? The ghouls are increasing in number and she's surrounded by them. Plus, Carly is not doing well with Jack. And we don't know how Willow is doing with Drew, but probab...

No news on how Ned is doing, but poor Rocco is not doing well at all!!! It's terrible, and just about everyone is upset. No plea deal, and he has to go to juvie! And this Dalton guy is not making any friends. Neither is Dante. Poor Gio! Just when he had been ready to move past Dante's previous bad behavior, he gets the same treatment all over again. Dante, you have got to do a little soul searching. Spend some time in the Davis bas...

Well, Ned is still not out of the woods, but let's hope he will be soon. He's very important! Also, it would be fun if he woke up and thought he was Eddie Maine again. Rocco is also in trouble, and let's hope he's okay. We like these kids! Now Britt needs a new key fob, and Dalton might need a life jacket. Sidwell can only take so much sass. Plus, Willow is loose! She and Drew make a miserable pair. And Ric is back. Is he up to som...

Man down! Someone help Ned! Where are all the doctors for crying out loud?! Gio was a lifeguard! Save Ned, Gio! In other news, Lucas is moving to Spoon Island. Yikes. What a kooky sitcom that could be. And who has Anna? Plus, why is some weirdo spying on Felicia? And why is Sonny massaging Justine's face? What the hell is happening to Port Charles?

Lots of emotional moments on Hospital this week! Some complicated relationships. Also some simple relationships. Laura and Martin? Complicated. Laura and Sonny? Complicated? Simple? Curtis and Jordan? Simple. Curtis and Portia? Complicated? Simple? Anna and Jason? Simple? Tracy and every other Quartermaine? Doesn't matter, they're family. Except Drew. And isn't it time someone tried to kill Drew again?

#mauricebenard  #kellythiebau...

Well, Drew's stint as lord of the manor was finished before it started! And Martin just became a lot less popular. Plus, now that the Quartermaine mansion belongs to Tracy, she gets to decide who stays and who goes. And Lulu doesn't have to trip over boxes anymore. So a lot of movement in Port Charles! Meanwhile, Sidwell tried to charm Laura and did not succeed, although he did manage to scare the crap out of her. Will he do someth...

Well, Ronnie is in a bit of a pickle. And Martin has suddenly become a monster. Very disappointing. Is Drew rubbing off on him? Portia is also in a bit of a pickle, although she seems more worried about Trina than anything else. She should be worried about the flimsiness of Isaiah's cabin. On the plus side, Cody and Molly are growing closer, and so are Jason and Britt!
