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.

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.

Episode One Hundred Ninety-Five - 08/31/2023

Thursday Aug 31, 2023

The clouds have parted, and Gia and Keisha are back! Gia is safe and texting Keisha pictures of squirrels. Yippee.

Also, lots of movement on Hospital. Well, Sasha isn't moving, but everyone else! Gladys continues to disappoint, but manages to make Nina look good. Speaking of looking good, Gia would like Ava's blouse. Keisha would like Olivia's dress. And neither would look good in either. Plus, angry Nikolas is back, but he seems to be less angry. Maybe the bonk on the head did some good? Will Ava be happy to see him? Keep that sculpture handy, girlfriend! There was also some movement in the Curtis and Portia storyline. Mostly involving a coffee table. Unless the coffee table is Pikeman, there are at least two storylines that could use some help. But always good to see Leo!!!

Episode One Hundred Ninety-Four - 08/24/2023

Thursday Aug 24, 2023

What the hell happened to Comet? Sure, it's a medical drama, but you don't just swap out a horse. Word on the street is Comet got a better offer from Days of Our Lives.

Meanwhile, plenty to discuss re: the humans of Port Charles. And Gia and Keisha do touch on some of it. The bird paintings (two thumbs up), Sam's top (two thumbs out because that's the kind of shirt a lady wears when she needs a ride fast), Trina's dress (two thumbs up, plus Gia got sort of dreamy when talking about this dress, so one of the thumbs was mildly uncomfortable), the hair of convicts (an important aspect of life at Pentonville; two thumbs down for Drew, needless to say), Austin's speech (two thumbs up for showing a little heart), and there was a lot of more important stuff to talk about, but Gia and Keisha got distracted by thoughts on Cool Whip, their own hair, and how to use the word asystole in a sentence (they still don't know).

Episode One Hundred Ninety-Three - 08/21/2023

Monday Aug 21, 2023

Sooooo. Anna. Valentin. Remember when they were a couple? That was nice. They enjoyed each other. We enjoyed them. Now, well, we enjoy....Nina and Sonny? Not really. Carly and Drew? Come on. Joss and Dex? Eh. Ava and Austin? Sure. Whatever. When did it become so hard to give the people a little love in the afternoon? And weird that Eddie Maine and Olivia are one of the more interesting couples right now. Or was it the lasagna?

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.
