Episode One Hundred Ninety-Two - 08/17/2023

Thursday Aug 17, 2023

Gia and Keisha are back! Gia was traveling. Keisha barely moved. A lot happened over the past week. Or did it? Gregory dropped some beads. Molly and TJ found some eggs. Cody yelled for quite a long time. Brook Lynn got Tracy drunk. Sure. And Felicia might go to work at GH?! Port Charles might lose its only effective detective, but Felicia will bring joy to the hospital, and more Felicia anywhere is a good thing! Also, apologies for a lot of rambling. So much.

Episode One Hundred Ninety-One - 08/11/2023

Friday Aug 11, 2023

There's something so satisfying about a well placed bonk on the head. Nicely handled, Carly. And isn't Eddie complicated?! Is he a creep or a gentleman? Both?? Plus, how is it that the Eddie Maine amnesia story is holding up much better than, well, just about all of the rest? Like this Pikeman nonsense. This is a medical drama. Unless Pikeman deals in black market organs (body, not church), we're not interested. So to recap, Mason can be bonked on the head weekly, and no one would complain. And maybe it's time for Portia to suffer a mild bonk on the head herself? Eventually, everyone will be someone else, and we can start all over again.

Episode One Hundred Ninety - 08/07/2023

Monday Aug 07, 2023

Gia had a great idea--let Sasha be the hero of her own story. Oh, Cody's intentions are good, but he's a little rough around the edges. He can take down Gladys, but let Sasha take down the evil doctor. Anna and Valentin, on the other hand, are a great match. Neither knows when to pull the trigger, and both are buried in baggage. The jury is still out on Spencer and Esme. They do seem to be quite decent to each other, and Ace, but we love our Trina. And Joss's head might explode if they become something. Plus Esme was evil once. Could she be evil again? That's a tricky one. Also, it would be great if someday soon Olivia treated Nina to a knuckle sandwich.

Episode One Hundred Eighty-Nine - 08/05/2023

Saturday Aug 05, 2023

Gia and Keisha feel as though they have visited both Chechnya and Greece now. Thank you for immersing us in these other cultures, General Hospital. Meanwhile, back in Port Charles, it would be tough to put together a three-legged race. Willow is stuck at home, Curtis is stuck in bed, Molly can't leave her couch, Cody gets beaten up regularly, and he's been stabbed by Sasha. It is a medical drama, after all. The writers are doing their best to move all over town and touch on a lot of storylines, but some are better than others. Not their fault. This is the hand they were dealt. The Eddie Maine story is holding up quite nicely. Eddie, Olivia, and Leo are starting to hit their stride. Curtis could be embarking on a very interesting journey, but it's too soon to know if that story has legs (oh, come on...so bad). And the Molly and TJ story,.....it's gonna be difficult to stay interested in that one. Unless they have a baby who is a tribble (that was all Gia).

Episode One Hundred Eighty-Eight - 07/31/2023

Monday Jul 31, 2023

The temporary writing continues, and Gia and Keisha continue to find reasons to like it (even though they support the staff writers and want the strike to end). Chechnya has finally come into focus, and it looks a lot like Port Charles. Not sure Laura and Valentin really thought this through. And poor Charlotte (original Charlotte!) is without her papa and talking to a comatose mama. Will Lulu wake up? And, more importantly, what will she look like? Maybe we'll see Liesl and Scotty again soon? Please? Anyway, it's all very interesting (well, not the Valiant the pony stuff; we're not six).

Episode One Hundred Eighty-Seven - 07/27/2023

Thursday Jul 27, 2023

Gia and Keisha love General Hospital. And they apologize if watching the show while it's being written by temporary writers makes them stinkers. Having said that, they are really enjoying the show while it's being written by temporary writers. These two stinkers are loving the energy. The freshness. The boring have become less boring. The great have become even greater. Wiley is still hard to take. But Sonny and Ava? Magnificent. This is going to be tough. Being stinkers. No amount of Lume will fix this stink. But Gia and Keisha love General Hospital, so light a match.

Episode One Hundred Eighty-Six - 07/24/2023

Monday Jul 24, 2023

Can Gia and Keisha blame their general grumpiness and tedious tangents on the lackluster writing? They would really like to believe they could do better if the writers would do better. Of course, now that temporary writers are responsible for our friends in Port Charles, there's no telling what's going to happen. Hopefully, our beloved characters will be treated with care and kindness. And it would be great if we got the sass back. All the way back. Hey, this could be fun.

Episode One Hundred Eighty-Five - 07/21/2023

Friday Jul 21, 2023

What is going on in Port Charles?! Between the revolving Mollys and Sasha's endless suffering, it's impossible to unwind with our favorite medical drama! Is anyone having fun right now? Maybe Cyrus? Heather? She always seems to be enjoying herself. But isn't there something wrong when the only people who can laugh are wearing prison jumpsuits? Even poor Joss didn't get to finish covering Dex in lotion. Why, oh why?! Woe is us. Woe. Is. Us.

Episode One Hundred Eighty-Four - 07/17/2023

Monday Jul 17, 2023

Gia and Keisha are struggling. No surprise there. But struggling to enjoy General Hospital! Is it the heat? The rain? Their aging brains? Even Anna, Dante, and Sonny can't save the day. Or Ava, Austin, and Nina. Or Leo! Not even Leo! Not even Leo? Would drinking help? Maybe. Probably. But also better writing. These characters deserve better writing. And we haven't had a single shot of Chechnya. Not even a fake skyline or a barren landscape with a handful of styrofoam rocks. Very disappointing. Gia and Keisha will still watch, of course. They would even be willing to write a scene or two. Reach out. Please.

Episode One Hundred Eighty-Three - 07/13/2023

Thursday Jul 13, 2023

The good news is we finally got a scene worthy of a medical drama. That's all of the good news. Oh, and it looks like Curtis is going to make it. But we keep having to endure fully clothed adults hanging around the pool. What kind of a town is this? Also, let's sort out this Sasha business because watching her twirl around is exhausting. It was sort of pleasant watching Felicia and Lucy in action. And Martin and Anna. But even those scenes seemed to fall short. Not as fun as they could be. Like unscented deodorant.
