Episode Two Hundred Ninety - 08/30/2024

Friday Aug 30, 2024

A storm is rolling into Port Charles all right. Rolling right into Drew's pants! What is with this guy? And Willow! McConkey is rolling over in his grave, which he is not even in yet. Ideally, Michael and Nina will come upon the terrible couple (Drillow?) together, and Michael will punch him in the face followed closely by Nina, who will deliver a swift kick to his nuts. Of course, then Willow's nursing instincts will kick in, and we'll be right back where we started. Sheesh. Oh, and it looks like someone might have shot someone at the Quartermaine mansion. First of all, who arranges to meet someone at a lovely home, a home neither was invited to, when planning to arrest and/or shoot that second someone? And second, how will Gia get over the loss of the man with the beautifully feathered hair? This is a lot. Thank goodness for the long weekend.

Episode Two Hundred Eighty-Nine - 08/26/2024

Monday Aug 26, 2024

Kristina sure can emote. And Molly is very good at yelling. But is that enough? Is it too much? Is it mostly just unpleasant? And when will it become, if not pleasant, at least less unpleasant? Also, Jason, please try to be interesting. Ditto Anna, Carly, and almost everyone else in Port Charles all of a sudden, except Clement and Scotty because where the hell are they?

Episode Two Hundred Eighty-Eight - 08/22/2024

Thursday Aug 22, 2024

Oh dear. One day we're celebrating Brad's return and some long overdue screen time for Terry, and the next thing you know despair and discomfort are everywhere. Even Ava looked like she might cry. And Jason and Sonny's honeymoon lasted about twenty minutes (thank you, Anna). Although, really, Jason could probably find another job where he doesn't have to talk. Buckingham Palace Guard? Plus, where the hell is Scotty? Is someone looking after his hair?! Also, will we ever like TJ again? Or Molly? Kristina? Has Lois got an enemy? Is it her pants? What a roller coaster ride. We should probably check our blood pressure.

Episode Two Hundred Eighty-Seven - 08/19/2024

Monday Aug 19, 2024

Sparkle Pony moments abound in Port Charles! And by "abound," we mean there were a few fun scenes worth celebrating. First--Brad! And he's talking to Terry! Wouldn't it be nice if they were back as regulars?! Second, third, and possibly fourth--Mac and Cody are pals now, and Cody and Sash are napping together, and Violet and Tracy are twins! On the other hand, Kristina doesn't have much support beyond Alexis and Sonny, and Stone Cold seems to be back and supporting Sonny, and, aside from the perfectly feathered hair, there is nothing to recommend Jagger.

Wait. What?! Blaze is gone, but Natalia is still around? Not cool. And she's "good with numbers," so she just gets to be CFO of Deception? Yeesh. Sonny. He needs his meds adjusted again. And Willow can't stop thinking about Drew? Drew?! That's not possible. Not. Possible. Let's hope James can talk some sense into her. Ava at least has realized she hitched her wagon to the wrong horse, but of course it's too late. Crazy Eyes Cates is probably not going to be her savior. He's the kind of guy that will borrow her car and get ketchup all over the steering wheel. Well, you reap what you sow, Ava. You reap what you sow.

Episode Two Hundred Eighty-Five - 08/12/2024

Monday Aug 12, 2024

Well, another Olympics in the books, and Gia and Keisha are full of woe. And also donuts and watermelon (donuts: Keisha; watermelon: Gia). Or is General Hospital just falling a little flat? Of course, after someone crashes through a poorly constructed window into a hotel pool overrun by locals, there is going to be a bit of a lull. A toweling off period. Still, everyone seems tongue-tied. Except for Maxie. But she can't be everywhere, providing a running commentary on everyone's bad decisions, although that would be awesome. Let's hope somehow Maxie's energy and sass can spread throughout Port Charles, or else give her a major storyline because she is a star. Also, Gia was very happy to see Brennan all settled into the Metro Court (apparently he didn't hear about the defective windows), but Keisha isn't there yet.

Thursday Aug 08, 2024

Finally! Donna is getting the help she needs for that excessive cheeriness. JK. Finally, Sonny is getting the help he needs, sort of. A mix of Kevin and Jason. A good cop, good enforcer approach to mental health. Why not?!! And lovely to see Morgan, but it wasn't enough. Just enough to remind us how much we miss him. Meanwhile, Ava is wearing a sweatshirt! Criminal. A sweatshirt. Ava. Wow. Jagger doesn't seem to mind. He's hopeless. Kristina, Molly, and TJ are in hell. Three separate hells. How much will this loss change them? Plus, where the hell is Blaze?

P.S. Gia and Keisha continue to provide their take on the Paris Olympics. Take notes, Mike Tirico.

Episode Two Hundred Eighty-Three - 08/05/2024

Monday Aug 05, 2024

Oh the sadness. Poor Kristina! Poor, poor, poor Kristina! And Molly. Not so much TJ. Will Kristina survive? And if she survives, will she be able to get past this terrible loss? Molly blames Sonny, and TJ blames Kristina, but will they eventually blame each other? And who will help Sonny? Would he feel better if, as Gia suggests, James Taylor's version of "Up on the Roof" was playing in the background? Possibly. Or maybe he would prefer the original by The Drifters? We'll probably never know. But two things are abundantly clear: 1.) TJ is a real jerk, and 2.) The Metro Court should be facing some stiff fines.

Also, Gia and Keisha are celebrating the Olympic athletes (from their couches), and they hope you are too!

Episode Two Hundred Eighty-Two - 08/01/2024

Thursday Aug 01, 2024

Well, the heat is getting to Keisha, and Gia is all full of feelings because Jagger continues to forget to wear clothes and Brennan is out of the clink, so it's only a matter of time before he will be wandering around in a towel too. All of this is to say that the girls are perhaps not performing at the level our Olympic athletes are. Speaking of sports, how about that dive Kristina took? The entry into the water could have been cleaner, but otherwise a solid effort. If she's seriously hurt, Molly, TJ, Sam, Alexis, and Jordan will feel like real stinkers. As they should. And Sonny might finally come completely unglued, possibly making Ava feel like a stinker for continuing to deprive him of his meds. Possibly. So a lot of people looking to medal in the competition for Big Stinker. They might need a bigger podium. Also, have we seen the end of Pikeman? That would be more exciting than Carly making it to Wiley's pool party (not how Keisha would celebrate).

Episode Two Hundred Eighty-One - 07/29/2024

Monday Jul 29, 2024

So how unpleasant are Molly and TJ? Yeesh. Luckily, they haven't spent time talking to Kristina's belly, or that kid would never come out. And then there's Ava. How scary must she be to think it's okay to tell people she's been watching Sonny walk around undermedicated? Although he continues to impress with his powers of perception (occasionally). Michael is going to have his hands full if he has to maintain alliances with both Sonny and Nina. If he can manage that, maybe he should get custody of Molly and TJ's baby. The good news is, Friday and Monday were Drew-free! And (if you're Gia) Jagger took his shirt off.
