Episode Two Hundred Five - 10/09/2023

Monday Oct 09, 2023

Gia and Keisha are back. They don't have much to say about baseball. But lots to say about Hospital! Some highlights: Chase and Brook Lynn acting like a pretty convincing couple; Nina and Valentin acting like a pretty convincing couple--of friends! Couple of friends! Sonny and Carly acting like, well, take your pick. And finally, Wiley stashed in the cargo hold and not bothering the grownups. Also some nice fashion choices (Nina, Alexis). But not all good: a blazer that even Scotty wouldn't wear. Wasn't it great to see Scotty again, though?! Also, nice speech from Lucy. And finally, great to see Sasha free, but is she going to feel forced to date Cody because he isn't all bad (but he's not that great either, let's face it)?

Episode Two Hundred Four - 10/02/2023

Monday Oct 02, 2023

In a very un-soap opera-like move, Trina and Spencer were allowed to enjoy an uninterrupted evening in an un-NYC-like hotel room. Ditto Finn and Elizabeth (if you swap out the hotel room for a hospital shower and a Little Miss Upstate New York Beauty Pageant dress for some scrubs). Hmm. Hard to know what to make of all of this....smushing. Of course, we can only tolerate so much love in the afternoon. Fortunately, Sonny is now participating in the punishing of Gladys, and an unidentified person (watch Drew try to take credit for saving Sasha too) appears ready to participate in the punishing of Dr. Montague. Plus, Laura and Kevin are coming home to help manage dark Charlotte! Wonderful.

Episode Two Hundred Three - 09/28/2023

Thursday Sep 28, 2023

So Drew woke up. Immediately started acting like he deserved a medal. He could always throw a clot. But meanwhile Joss is being nice to Ava, and Ava was nice to Carly, so some people can just be decent without expecting a parade. And Eddie Maine was ringing pretty true for a guy who used to talk about whatever businessmen talk about. Now he has a dinosaur bandana. Bless that little Leo's heart. Charlotte, on the other hand, might be heartless. She has Victor's voice in her head! These Cassadines never go away. Will Charlotte turn out to be a really bad one? Speaking of bad ones, will Sasha fall victim to Dr. Montague again (and how awful is Gladys?!)? So much drama!

Episode Two Hundred Two - 09/25/2023

Monday Sep 25, 2023

Gia and Keisha have one job: talk about General Hospital. Why is that so hard for them? Oh, they touch on Charlotte's daddy issues. Nina's guilty conscience. Portia's half-assed apology tour. But they also devote at least five minutes to a celebration of cole slaw (cole slaw!?). Even if you like cole slaw, you probably don't need this. What's next? Relish?

Episode Two Hundred One - 09/22/2023

Friday Sep 22, 2023

Gia and Keisha are very sorry to be a day late! Technical difficulties! But all is well tonight, well, technically speaking. Still, some unpleasantness to address. Drew getting pummeled rather severely while showering. Why while showering? The pummeling wasn't a problem. Just the naked in the prison shower part. That's the stuff of movies that generally don't have decent soundtracks. And then there's Spencer acting like every day is a vacation. God, wouldn't that be great. But Trina wants to live her best life, and Spencer needs to want that too. And possibly the most painful bit of unpleasant--Molly and the baby. But who needs a baby when you have Molly? Very difficult to get excited about that one. Scotty made an appearance! That was exciting. And maybe the writers' strike will end soon. What will that mean for our friends in Port Charles? The temps have kept it interesting. Mostly.

Episode Two Hundred - 09/18/2023

Monday Sep 18, 2023

Gia and Keisha would like to thank their listeners for helping them reach Episode Two Hundred! Joining the celebration and returning for a second conversation about the writers' strike, Star Trek (mostly Gia), and bar shampoo (just expensive soap?), is Adam Belanoff, who knows what he's talking about (even if Gia and Keisha don't). He makes a prediction about when the strike might end and then leaves the ladies (?) to predict who might be ruining Anna's life (the writers?). They'll get back to Port Charles in a real way on Thursday.

Gia and Keisha are also very, very sad over the news of Billy Miller. Rest in peace, Billy.

Episode One Hundred Ninety-Nine - 09/14/2023

Thursday Sep 14, 2023

While it was nice to see half of Port Charles at Charlie's Pub, if these were the only people left on the planet, what would the future of humankind look like? If little Violet had to create a family tree for a homework assignment, would it look like a tree, or maybe more of a spider plant? Perhaps best not to delve too deeply into the who begat who side of things on a soap opera. And there are less disturbing scenes to focus on, like Carly and Sonny spending a romantic afternoon at Pentonville. Lovely. Plus (talk about sparks), get a room, Cyrus and lady in the room with Cyrus! It's getting hot in here!

Also, don't miss Gia and Keisha next Monday! It will be their 200th episode (not including a handful of short "bonus" episodes)! Joining the celebration will be TV writer/producer Adam Belanoff! This will be Adam's second visit to the Tan-O. Very brave! He'll give us his current thoughts on the writers' strike and also an update on his feelings about bar shampoo. Pure gold!

Episode One Hundred Ninety-Eight - 09/11/2023

Monday Sep 11, 2023

Gia and Keisha did not mind the scene at the recording studio! There it is. Just when you thought you knew them. Perhaps it's their age. Well, they're not that old. They could be Eddie's younger sisters--that's right, younger! Not by much. Anyway, they enjoyed Eddie, Olivia, and Leo, and they don't care who knows it. They did not discuss the courtroom scene, but the good news is Sonny dodged a bullet. Curtis, of course, did not. But Curtis is out there getting it done! And isn't Jordan looking lovely! Hmm. Maybe it's time to get Jordan a juicy storyline. Maybe it's time to get Gia and Keisha to focus. Just a little bit more. On the show. Worth a try.

Episode One Hundred Ninety-Seven - 09/07/2023

Thursday Sep 07, 2023

Oh no. Bar shampoo. Yup, it's back. In the conversation. Gia and Keisha are still struggling with actually using it. Bottom line, they don't want to sacrifice beauty. Speaking of beauty, the kids looked lovely at the MC pool. That's what the pool is for! Not old people in business suits. Young people in bathing suits. And who will get the next syringe? Cody? Please? Who said Gia and Keisha??!! Point taken.

Episode One Hundred Ninety-Six - 09/05/2023

Tuesday Sep 05, 2023

Sonny got arrested??!! What??? Oh right. He's a mobster. A mobster who spends an awful lot of time having lunch with the ladies, shopping for jewelry, cooking,.... He's a lovely man. Where is the justice? If anyone should be thrown in the clink, it's that Wiley kid. Yeesh. It looks like he might develop a drinking problem though. Or, he could be a boy Nelle. Amelia should probably be trained to sleep with one eye open. And let's not spend any more time in the showers at Pentonville, okay? Do we have to be uncomfortable all the time? Well, we are uncomfortable all the time, but that's mostly because of some bad choices. Hospital is our relief.
