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

Heather is free! And she's the only one feeling that exclamation point. Not even Ace could bear to give her a proper hello. Will she become Sedona's problem? Could Port Charles be that lucky? Probably not. Maybe Steven could take Holly to Sedona instead? That would still equal one problem solved. And how much longer will Sam be around? Just long enough for everyone to believe she's going to be fine? Poor Dante. Poor Alexis. Poor Danny and Scout. Poor Laura and Rocco, who will understand the pain Sam's family is in. Not so poor Molly and Kristina, who have been reduced to characters who only acknowledge their own pain. And poor Sasha and Cody, who had a real shot at a soap opera rarity, a drama-free relationship. So close.

Gia and Keisha are making an early appearance this midweek because Keisha is unavailable on Thursday, so welcome to Hospital Hump Day with Gia and Keisha! Also, Keisha has had some gin, so Gia is carrying this episode. But she only mentions Star Trek and Planet of the Apes once, which is a sign of personal growth. Both Gia and Keisha continue to find Portia unpleasant. Even when she's making a good point, and she does make a good point about Trina's safety perhaps not being considered as seriously as if she were a white woman. But somehow Portia always comes across as controlling more than compassionate. Meanwhile, both Curtis and Dex have decided talking tough is what the Heather situation calls for. So that's comforting. On the bright side, Gia and Keisha liked Ava's blouse. And Trina's dress. Also great to see the young adults again.

Gia and Keisha are a little cranky. Could be age. Or awful storylines (mostly the Sasha Scorpio development). Probably both. And maybe also the age of the characters involved in the awful storylines. But there were some nice moments, beginning with the ageless Elizabeth and Lucky. And the appropriately aging Laura and Kevin. And the appealing to people of all ages Violet. Who wore down even Gia and Keisha. Of course, to offset the nice moments, Drew had to make an appearance. Probably killed him to see a tiny woman behaving like an actual hero. Violence is never the answer, but it would be wonderful to see Jason give that guy a knuckle sandwich one of these days. And now we wait. For Sasha's paternity test results and Lulu's surgery. Hopefully Sasha will be able to continue to date Cody, and not in a gross way. Fingers crossed!

So it's mid-week housekeeping time on General Hospital, and Gia and Keisha are not impressed. Sam apparently was too busy diving for a gun and missed the memo that Lulu's situation was critical? Better late than never? And Holly just remembered she had a daughter with Robert? Yeesh. Gia and Keisha may be proof that Neuriva can't work miracles, but they would appreciate it of the GH writers gave them a little credit. Try harder, please. If not for them, then for the fine actors who deserve better.

America, World, Portugal! Gia is back and safe at home! So the girls have a lot of ground to cover. Lots of interesting movement over the past several episodes! Lucky is back and not proving to be all that lucky. But he may turn out to be useful yet. And Laura certainly needs at least one child who isn't in jail or unconscious. Meanwhile, Keisha believes Sonny may have experienced some personal growth. Gia does not agree. Both Gia and Keisha agree that Portia looks more and more compromised, Ava continues to look fabulous, Aiden looks like Lucky's much older brother, and Port Charles looks better when Drew is not in it.

Thank you for your patience, Tan-O listeners! Gia and Keisha love you!

Gia and Keisha were okay with today's episode of General Hospital. There were some nice moments: Elizabeth and Lucky (how gracious was Elizabeth, being true to herself and Aidan while at the same time having to endure Lucky's smell!), Sam and Dante (although how hard must Lulu have been bumming listening to that conversation, coma or no coma?), and Ava and Trina (Gia learned the difference between ombre and hombre today!). Nice job!

Can Gia and Keisha keep it together long enough to discuss one (1) episode of General Hospital? They cannot. So if you were expecting to gain some real insights into the characters and storylines of America's favorite soap opera, you may be disappointed. You will be disappointed. Oh, there is some GH related whining. And a bit of applause for the return of Terry. But mostly there is nonsense. Middle-aged women nonsense. Gia and Keisha apologize, in their way.

Well the good news is the poker game is finally over! And, perhaps giddy at the thought of never having to pretend he has a losing hand again, Jason kissed Anna! And she kissed him back! Is this anything? No idea. But at least it's not more poker! Meanwhile, Drew continues to poke poor Willow, who is really struggling to keep it together. James may have done Willow a kindness by spilling the beans to Ned about the kiss that probably wasn't even that enjoyable. But will Drew get shut down before he inflicts more of his special brand of charm on Willow? Let's hope so. And finally, where the hell are Laura and Kevin? And Scotty?! Did they find an all-you-can-eat buffet somewhere? That would be fine. We just want to know! Thank you.

Oh America, World, Portugal. What is happening to our beloved Hospital? The best thing about the last two episodes? No Ric! Of course, there are always going to be stretches where nothing special happens. But it seems like right now stupid things are happening, and Gia and Keisha get enough of that in their own lives. So maybe there could be less of that? Maybe Willow could take a good look at Drew. And then throw up like the rest of us? Maybe Lois could remember who she is and where she's from? Maybe Laura and Kevin could realize they seem to have been written off the show and get the hell back to Port Charles? Anyway, the ship will probably right itself. It's just hard when Gia is already sad because it's the end of watermelon season.

All right listen General Hospital, no one needs to see greasy old Drew wandering around the Quartermaine grounds like it's the last day at Zuma Beach. Poor Willow. Very difficult to get oil stains out. But isn't Sasha a lovely friend? And distraught, grief-stricken Kristina found a safe space with Felicia, so maybe she can focus more on healing and less on gun stealing. Even Trina seems to be moving forward thanks to Aunt Stella. Now, if only Ric would move on out. That guy is everywhere! Elizabeth, take your French fries and run!
