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

Keisha would like to thank AWP (America, World, Portugal) for being quite patient and kind. And Gia and Keisha would like to say O  M  G  ! ! ! That dirtbag Drew and that whore Willow (just going for the double w, not sure she's really a whore) have crossed the line. THE line. Wow.     Wow.     Wow. This changes everything. Well, almost everything. Still no idea what Pikeman is. There will be a lot of suffering. A lot of turmoil. And questions like: Will Michael punch Drew in the face? Or: Will Carly punch Drew in the face? And maybe: Will Nina introduce her knee to Drew's groin? Also, is this the first time "groin" has shown up in the recap? Very sorry. These are the times we live in.

Oh Natalia, Natalia. Sorry? Not sorry. Blaze is a lovely person who deserves better. The world is not being kind to her or Kristina, but at least Kristina has the love of her parents (although Sonny could use a little parenting himself). And what's up with Brook Lynn and Maxie? They can talk the talk, but why not try walking the walk? It would be interesting to see the other young (and younger) people on the show get pulled into the conversation. And it would be nice if Ava could express just a bit more remorse about the damage her impulsive act has caused. Maybe she and Natalia and Sonny could get trapped in an elevator together. Would anyone rush to their rescue? Dante. Of course. Dear Dante. The world needs more Dante.

Hurricane Ava is heading for Port Charles, and the spaghetti models all have her barreling right into Sonny's penthouse. Sonny, let's hope you've saved a little of that paranoia for Avery's mom. She can be a problem. And Natalia is no picnic either. Did Ava leak the Natalia recording so Blaze's mom would draw fire away from her? How many people can Sonny hate at once? Is he maxed out? Also, when is he going to get some help? He does need help, doesn't he? Does he?

Gia enjoyed some real sparkle pony moments this week, and Keisha was supportive of this. Dante is back, which by itself is a sparkle pony moment, but schooling Sam on what felony means was quite effective and enjoyable. And Sam needed to be brought down a peg or two. Similarly, Scotty did a great job schooling Finn about the consequences he might face, and probably helped him make a good decision. Also, Scotty is a delight, and needs a bit more screen time. Lots of good acting across the board: Finn, Violet, Scotty, Dante, Sam, Jason, Danny, and Joss, Trina--sheesh, let's just say everyone delivered. Except maybe Anna and Valentin, possibly because they're both being lying, duplicitous sluts.

P.S. Good luck, Michael Easton! You will be missed! 

P.S. The new Facebook page is up: General Hospital: A Table at the Tan-O. Gia and Keisha encourage you to find the page and share your thoughts!

Oy. Poor little Violet. She just went from 9 to 19, maybe even 29. The days of singing sweet songs are gone. To cope with all of this sadness, Gia and Keisha spend quite a lot of time talking about Mando (Lume for men). But great acting and writing around this Finn situation. And you can't do better than Tracy in a crisis. Then there is the crisis that didn't have to be a crisis. TJ, Molly, Kristina, and the baby. Poor little baby. Maybe the Qs can take this child in too. Who knew the Quartermaine mansion was going to become a relaxing retreat? Jason might want to go back to hiding out in the peaceful calm of the boathouse, what with Sam all riled up and Carly wringing her hands. Think of the possibilities!

Finn is.....suffering. And it's contagious. Where will it end? And how will it end? Sonny is supposed to be suffering too, but somehow he seems fine. What's up with that? You know who also seems fine, and Gia and Keisha couldn't be happier, Mac!!! Mac is back! Let's hope he has many healthy and happy years ahead. Other happy moments included Sasha and Cody enjoying a little violin, Cody and Tracy enjoying a moment of honesty, and Lucy and Scotty enjoying some pie! Oh, Port Charles. Full of so many lives we care about. And Drew.

We apologize for audio difficulties on this episode.

America! World! Portugal! Tonight TV writer/producer Adam Belanoff is back. So brave! Adam has a long history in TV. Most recently he wrote and/or produced episodes of The Closer, Major Crimes, and Fantasy Island. Tonight Adam joins Gia and Keisha for a conversation about Godzilla Minus One, Hacks, Jury Duty (and a close call with actual jury duty), as well as the hidden hazards of home appliances. Also, Gia and Keisha suggest he begin to give some thought to his death playlist. The jury is still out on whether or not he appreciated the suggestion. Thank you for keeping G and K company, Adam!

Hospital-focused Gia and Keisha will return tomorrow.

Two men. Both very difficult to be around. One has a disease. One is a politician. Elizabeth has the good sense to protect herself and her family from Finn even as her heart is breaking. Willow? Well, she might have a problem. And what's the deal with Ava, Trina, and Gio? Yeesh. He was about to get buried in women's undies. And it's not like he's Barry Manilow. Meanwhile, it looks like Trina and Joss will be moving into the Quartermaine dorms. What could possibly go wrong? 

And check out a bonus episode this Wednesday with TV writer/producer Adam Belanoff. We'll try to come up with some fun questions for him and see what he knows about wardrobe budgets on TV shows.

You know, when Sonny isn't hanging someone from a meat hook, or taking someone on a tour of the pine barrens, or pummeling someone, he's really quite wise and lovely. Similarly, when Heather isn't murdering people, she is charming and sweet. Hmm. Meanwhile, a lot of  the civilized gentle folk of Port Charles are becoming super annoying. Finn (sure, grief-stricken, drug-addicted, but still), Molly/TJ (sure, baby-desperate, boring, but still), Curtis/Trina/Portia (sure, traumatized, grief-stricken, boring, but still). Anyway, they need to drink some of that uterus tea, hang at the MC pool with Gio and Joss, and just calm down. Yeesh.

So Drew shows up at the Metro Court pool in a tank top (and shorts), and it's even worse than we imagined. This guy! And Willow, you are a mother and a wife, and a smart (?) person. What is happening to you? Wiley! Shame on you! Yeesh. So embarrassing. Michael would be disgusted. Disgusted. And we would understand. Now Jason. There is a guy we can get behind. He knows a grown man doesn't show up at the Metro Court pool when it's full of children. Plus, he talks less. Elizabeth, maybe you and Jason..... Why not? Finn is going to be a while. And Barb knows where he lives. And Elizabeth knows Barb knows. Liz, don't look back. Let Tracy and Brook Lynn and poor Chase put Finn back together. Poor Finn. He knows what he lost.
