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

It's getting loud in Port Charles! Perhaps a rule limiting the amount of shouting per episode to, say, five minutes? No? Worth a try. Brook Lynn's voice is sounding tired. Gloria's voice could peel paint. Even Rocco is loud. And no one needs to hear Lulu's voice. Kristina, Alexis, and Lucky are sounding a bit nutty, even mental. Sonny! Who knew Sonny's voice would become the most soothing? Wouldn't it be fun if Gio moved in with Gr...

Some great daytime drama in Port Charles! Now, Lois is catching a lot of flak for the decisions she made re: Gio, but Gia and Keisha are feeling a bit of sympathy for her. Of course, Lulu deserves every bit of criticism leveled at her. She's awful. Tracy and Ned get points for loveliness. As does Emma. Back squarely in the awful department: Drew. How did he manage to find a way to become so much worse?! So much. Pocketing Lila's ri...

The votes are in, and the winner of best Nurse's Ball performance is----A tie? Gia liked(!) the children at the end. She hasn't been the same since she cut down on the drinking. And Keisha liked Trina and Joss (also their dresses). So, much like the Curtis vs. Portia debate, they have agreed (grudgingly) to disagree. Also, Michael is back! Well, someone answering to the name Michael has arrived and stolen Wiley (notice no one fough...

Oh boy! Lots of action at the Nurse's Ball! And not all of it embarrassing! First, Nina was great on the red carpet. A real pro. Drew. Well, Drew. Best dressed? Gia and Keisha are in agreement! On that and not much else. Well, Lulu is terrible. They still agree about that. And Gio has some real acting chops! He's not just a pretty violinist! But, oh dear, so much pain. And then there's Alexis and Kristina. Talk about a handful. And...

Gia and Keisha may never like Lulu again. And Dante is on thin ice. Thin ice! Carly and Nina, well. Those two could be spokesmodels for Sonny's vulva gym. Almost too bad that Joss broke up the fight. And maybe they just need to get Drew in the ring and give him a good, old-fashioned pummeling? Also, can someone pick up the phone and call Michael? Or just send him a text? Now, what will Curtis do about Portia? Is she out after three...

Some stuff going on in Port Charles! At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Lulu and Dante are awful. We hope at least Dante can recover. Rocco is exhibiting some strength of character. Always nice to see in a young man. Of course, Drew has zero character. Sonny is growing as a character. Will he leave Sidwell for Laura, Jordan, and Anna to handle? Throw Joss in the mix, and they might be okay. Although Joss is down a friend...

Dante! Try harder! Ditto, Lulu! Yeesh. Rocco would be better off being raised by wolves right now. And Tracy, what's your deal? Playing both sides all over town. Behave! Now, will Jason and Sasha figure out Drew thwarted Willow's plans to see Michael? Will Jason track down baby Gio for Tracy? Will Jason and Sonny get out of the mob and, what, coach little league? That could be cute. Also, what is Drew doing with a vial of something...

Well, Gia and Keisha are upset with Dante. And still Lulu, but mostly Dante right now. Poor Gio. Let's hope he can recover from this. Also, how fun are Rik and Ava skulking about town, spreading joy. Is Alexis going to snap? Plus Sonny seems to be making a remarkable recovery, as is Kai. Modern medicine, right? And there is a bit more talk about horses. And also badgers. And bunnies. Sorry.

Emotions are running high in Port Charles! But not high enough when it comes to Willow. She calmed right down. And Nina and Portia's plan unraveled in a hurry. Drew is going to destroy Portia. Will Lulu destroy Brook Lynn? Will Tracy destroy Lois? And will Rocco recover? Lots going on! Also, Gia talks about horses. And Keisha talks about scammers.

Wow. The Savoy is where it's at! Gia and Keisha are still processing the body shot scene. That Drew just keeps finding new ways to behave badly. And he behaved really, really badly. So fun! Also, Lulu is kind of behaving badly and maybe fooling herself, but not Gia and Keisha. Plus, it looks like Joss is going to behave badly because she's a spy now, and that's what spies do. But will she be able to live with herself? Probably. She...

And, what do you know, Drew gets worse. Lulu gets worse too. And Kristina. Portia gets worse, which makes her better? Ava stays about the same. Sonny gets a little better? Carly gets a little weaker. Brick just gets it done. Also, a real treat to see Mike! He makes any scene better.

Drew. And. Willow. No. Thanks. Gia and Keisha are not interested in seeing this couple doing anything, but especially it. Let's not let that happen again, okay? Also, what does that creepy bastard have in mind for young Kai? Some lovely moments, though: Ned, Brook Lynn and Chase--we might need more Ned. Jason and Danny also had a nice father-son moment, and Laura and Lulu--well, where did Lulu get the money for this house? And why ...

Gia and Keisha are a little bit cranky! Blame Sidwell! Who needs this guy? No one! Even his son seems like a dink. And Natalia has very loose lips. Plus Gia has a lot to say about horse casting. Keisha is neutral on that front. Also, Anna is going to continue letting the citizens of Port Charles take care of the serious criminals--good for her! What could go wrong? And Carly is back to being Sonny's buddy. What will Jack have to sa...

Gia and Keisha are a night early with their...musings? Gia has a late gig tomorrow! Now, on the plus side, Daniel Goddard made his first appearance, and it was glorious. On the negative side, there was a lot of Ezra Boyle, Drew Cain, and Jenz Sidwell. A lot. A little is too much. Meanwhile Alexis has made a very bad decision. Terrible. Rik might start looking like the good parent pretty soon. Also, Lulu is being a real pill. Yeesh.

Gia and Kesha are excited! Why? Well, Gia is excited about a possible solution for the worldwide, cow-related, methane problem. Keisha does not share Gia's excitement for that. No, what's got both Gia and Keisha excited is the writing on General Hospital! Lots of great stories hitting their stride now. From Alexis having to deal with Kristina's bad behavior, to Willow and Carly duking it out, to Emma and Anna bonding over how to do...

Perhaps Gia and Keisha shouldn't have promised they would do better this time. Gia has had three beers, and Keisha is enjoying the last of her Dutch Barn vodka. So it's possible the content may take a bit of a hit. Although Gia does make a few keen observations, and one or two of them might even be about General Hospital! And both Gia and Keisha continue to be impressed by Emma. Not so much by Lucky's take on Kristina's situation, ...

America, World, Portugal! Keisha is in search of a mic that works. She has four now. Apologies for sound quality issues. And for overall quality issues. There is perhaps too much talk about the guy at the impound lot in this episode. And also ziploc bags--can they be reused? Keisha says yes. Gia and Keisha promise to do better next time. Your loyalty and support are always appreciated!!

General Hospital turned 62! And there was no money in the budget for even one or two clips! But there were still some nice moments, mostly led by the veterans--Laura, Anna, Sonny, Tracy. They've spent a lot of time in Port Charles, and Gia and Keisha thank them for their dedication! On the downside, Sidwell is back, and it looks like he might be front and center for awhile. Along with his ex-wife and his son. Hmm. Is that good? Mea...

Kristina has problems. Lots and lots of problems. Next level problems. And Lucky knows. Poor Lucky. Unlucky Lucky. Fingers crossed Elizabeth is okay. And maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing if Rik made it too. Will one of them wake up with a brand new personality? That's always fun. Maybe Elizabeth could wake up thinking she's Ava. Two Avas! And Rik could wake up thinking he's Sonny. Two Sonnys! Hey, it's a soap opera. Let's get s...
