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

Gia and Keisha are back and wondering if there is something in the water in Port Charles (i.e. worms)? Or is it an overabundance of pheromones emanating from Drew? Something has got everyone acting weird. Too many people are enjoying Drew's company right now (more than one = too many). And not enough people are enjoying Jason's. Sam has finally seen the light (about time), but how could she have ever doubted Jason? And Carly is det...

Everyone has been wondering if Gregory is really suffering from a tapeworm wandering loose in his body and not ALS, right? And now we have to wonder if Sonny might also have something from the worm family poking around in his noggin. What other explanation is there for his attraction to Natalia (and also his erratic behavior)? And how do we explain Willow's Drew worship? Also a worm? Several worms? Anyway, Gia and Keisha are hangin...

Add Joss and Trina to the list of people in Port Charles who are wondering what's next. We almost had Dante too, but it looks like Anna reeled him back in. He could have opened Dante's Deli (great idea, Gia!)! Now, he'll just go back to spending his days avoiding all of the cases that have anything to do with Sonny (and no, that's not all of the cases). Sonny and Dante could have opened a deli together! Oh well. Also, Natalia is aw...

So if everyone in Port Charles is trying something new, maybe Sonny could too? He would be a great barber. Or maybe he could bottle that marinara sauce. Remember that marinara sauce? Looks like Lois is going to make a splash as a spokesmodel. Willow is going to make a more serious splash as a more serious spokesmodel. Curtis is heading up some muscle-related division of Aurora. Sasha is making bread sandwiches for the Quartermaines...

Drew seems to be comforting(?) Nina, but who will comfort Sonny now that Laura has dumped him? Ava? She's starting to seem like she's back to being all about Ava. Kristina? She's starting to see Sonny for who he really is (a super generous guy who occasionally beats up or kills people--what's not to love?!). Anna? She's about to throw him in the clink. This is not a good time for a man to be undermedicated. As if that's not enough ...

Brook Lynn and Chase may be celebrating their love, but sadly it's not contagious. Other people are throwing hatchets, literally and figuratively. Joss. You do not want to share your darkest secrets with Joss, who will weaponize them (sorry, Kristina). She is really testing Sonny's patience, which was already in short supply (no thanks to Ava). Nina. Who can blame her (what?!)? She is still reeling from Ava's betrayal and losing So...

Emotions are running high in Port Charles! Nina isn't the only one longing for those sweet Tan-O days. Right?!! Poor Nina (wait--poor Nina?). And shame on you, Ava (wait--didn't we like Ava?). Perhaps Ava had us all fooled. Gia still wants to look like her. Good luck walking in those heels, Gia. Carly is broken hearted and frustrated with Sonny, who seems to have erased every positive memory of her, and Jason, and Michael, and Dex,...

Maxie and Felicia are always a treat. Ava and Sonny? Who knows what's going on there. Laura and Cyrus? Hmm. For a minute, Cyrus seemed like the civilized one. Dex and Joss? He missed her smell! That's love. Or Covid. Gregory and Elizabeth? Lovely. Somebody find a cure for this guy. And Elizabeth is, well, Elizabeth. Also, Carly? What are you doing?! This Jagger guy? Of course he's a step up from Drew (who isn't?), but he's no Jason...

So Lucy. It's been established that a little Lucy goes a long way. A lot of Lucy makes us want to die. So why? Why are we being tortured? Maybe it's best just to put the whole Home & Heart ugliness behind us. Gia would rather talk about horses anyway. And saddles. And girth (?!). Speaking of ugliness, what is Ava up to? Nina is already a bit of a trainwreck, so why is Ava piling on? Wouldn't it be smarter to watch from a safe d...

It's Thursday, which means mid-week mediocrity? Sure, a lot is happening in Port Charles, and that's good, but Gia and Keisha are confused about a lot of things, and this time it's not entirely their fault. Maybe the writers are still decorating their offices and not focusing enough of their attention on the actual writing of General Hospital. Anyway, a lot of behavior or scenes (for instance, Nina and Drew hitting the desk and the...

Welcome to Gia and Keisha's Solar Eclipse Special! What's special about it? Absolutely nothing. Gia and Keisha ramble more than ever, including a seven minute exploration of the "ride or die" concept, where they come to the conclusion that Keisha will have to keep looking for her ride or die because it ain't Gia. Gia did, however, save a stranger from certain blindness while she was out weed-whacking at the peak of the eclipse. So ...

Mother Nature is not a fan of Gia and Keisha's take on all things Hospital? It's the only explanation for a snow-related power outage in April. Or possibly global warming played a part. Or both. Either way, they're back! Sorry, Mother Nature. So Gia and Keisha felt a little better about some of their people this week. Gia thinks Sam is doing a good job acting like a parent. Keisha is just happy Jason is back, and who cares if his l...

Gia and Keisha continue to be shocked and baffled by the everchanging moods of some of their favorite Port Charles residents. Ava. Ava?!! What are you up to, Ava? And Sonny, keep it together, man. They're coming for you. And who knew Valentin was one of them?! Valentin. Valentin. What happened to you? Anna would be devastated. Or would she? No telling because she seems confused. Perhaps she got a little too comfortable living in th...

Gia is back, and Keisha is so happy to be able to talk about Jason. With someone who understands. Someone who is Team Jason all the way. Unlike all of these people in Port Charles who used to call Jason their friend but who seem to have lost that loving feeling. Shame on all of you. Not you, Danny. Good for you sneaking out to see your dad. And Carly. Of course. Jason is everything Drew is not. Starting with quiet. Drew who? That's...

America. World. Apologies for not having an episode Monday night. Gia is looking after her dad but should be back very soon. Episode 244 is a bit of a departure! Keisha has invited her co-worker, Nurse Ami, to join her at the Tan-O for a discussion about various medical concerns and topics because this is, after all, a podcast dedicated to a medical drama. You may find yourself educated as well as entertained! Thank you for your ti...

So it looks like Jason is still Jason. And Sonny is still Sonny. Maxie and Spinelli are Maxie and Spinelli! And Drew is Drew. That one hurts a little. But Port Charles is about to experience some cosmic shifting. When everyone finds out about Jason (and by everyone, we mean mostly Carly), decisions will have to be made. Some people may become upset. Not us. Also, Dante HAS TO survive. He's the role model for every guy in Port Charl...

He's back! And he's already killed a guy! Welcome back, dear Jason. How we missed you. Now Dante is not looking too good. Will he stay awake long enough to tell everyone Stone Cold (Stone?) is back? Maybe he will, but they won't believe him because he has blood coming out of his mouth. Or maybe Jason will stick around and apply some basic first aid. Either way, we're in. Of course, lots going on at the hospital too. Heather is itch...

It's February 29th, the extra day, and in its honor Gia and Keisha are a bit...extra. So is Sonny! Keep it together, man! Will Dex return to Port Charles to help him/keep Joss warm? Is that a good idea? And speaking of extra, Drew. Poor Carly. She probably threw up a little bit in her mouth. Both Lois and Tracy can be a little bit extra, but they struck a nice balance for Brook Lynn's sake. And thankfully she won't have to wear tha...

Carly is looking tired. Of course she's tired. Drew is tiresome. He's no Jason. This is abundantly clear. Carly must be realizing this and feeling pretty darn blue. Ava, on the other hand, is enjoying life as Sonny's girl Jason. Although she's a bit too sassy to be a really effective Jason. Oh, and Blaze and Kristina had a lovely sleepover. They didn't need a Jason.
