Episode Three Hundred Eighty-One - 07/23/2025
Gia and Keisha are a day early (Gia has a gig tomorrow night!). This means they can address some of the things they forgot last time. Namely, Portia and Curtis. And Lois and Brook Lynn (and that other lady). Portia is on a path both Gia and Keisha can support. But, because it is a soap opera, Portia may not come thoroughly clean, which will make Gia and Keisha unhappy. Also, Curtis should embrace this Portia. Meanwhile, this lady with the sweet tea was a bit much, and also not enough. It was nice to see Brook Lynn and...

Episode Three Hundred Eighty - 07/21/2025
Liesl hit the ground running! She could see right away that Willow was a mess, and maybe she can help Nina do something about it. And if it involves burying Drew alive, there will be rejoicing throughout the land! Meanwhile, Sasha has taken her hairy baby to visit with Robert. Poor Robert. But how sweet that they get to be together as a family. And Britt has been spotted! Will Jason leave Sonny to deal with Sidwell and go off in search of her? Let's hope so! Finally, Joss and Vaughn, Carly and Jack. Maybe WSB men just aren't...

Okay, it's Thursday, July 10, 2025, and this is the day Gia found Kai slightly interesting. Slightly. We'll see if that continues. Keisha finds the idea of Cody and Elizabeth interesting, but that might not happen. It's just that Ric and Elizabeth are not a good idea. Ric and Ava? That's not really going to work either. And how about Sasha deciding maybe Daisy doesn't enjoy being spun around? That's good parenting. Bold parenting. Lovely of Michael to support her when everyone else seems to believe more spinning will be good for the baby. Also, Gia and Keisha are worried about...

Only one episode to discuss, but it was a lively one! Gia and Keisha do not like to see Daisy being turned around or tampered with or taken out of her crib for no good reason. It's too scary. Stop it. Now, Lulu and Brook Lynn getting in a real brawl where hair is pulled out at the root and lipstick smeared--that's okay. Jens and Marco teaming up? Troubling. Also, Joss and Vaughn's plan to distract Emma with Vaughn (who doesn't have a lot going for him) ? Upsetting. G and K don't want to see Emma getting hurt. And...

Some good movement on General Hospital this week! While Gia and Keisha are disappointed that Natalia is gone, the loss is going to be a test of what Marco is made of, and a test of his relationship with Lucas. Will he choose Lucas or revenge? Will Trina choose boredom or her parents? Will Michael choose decency over his grudge against Drew? Willow did a really good job of looking forlorn. And he must be tired of all of that Wiley time by now. Also, looks like another fight is about to break out between Brook Lynn and Lulu...

Natalia! If you want a good, old-fashioned meltdown, it turns out Natalia is who you call. Well done! So is she leaving? Now that Gia and Keisha are fully onboard? Really? Runner up for Best Performance by a Distraught Woman: Portia. Again, Gia and Keisha haven't been big fans of Portia and her squealing, but she's a little more interesting when she's backed into a corner. Until she sets up Jordan. Let's keep it classy, okay ladies? Dante is on a bit of an apology tour, which is very good news. America needs good Dante right now. And Lulu...

It's always a delight when Tracy and Cody have a scene together, especially when it involves making Drew look like a loser! Danny and Rocco are also very convincing as teenage boys, so it should be fun watching them getting on Gio's nerves all summer. Lulu continues to get on Gia and Keisha's nerves. In a big way.

Willow. Oh, Willow. She's barely there. Drew could crush her with his bare hands! His big, lecherous, controlling hands! Who will save her (not Wiley)? Can she save herself? Nina is beside herself with worry. She's never gonna get rid of that furrowed brow. And then there's Kai, who loves Drew. So much. Way too much. Will it cost him Trina? Would that bother anyone? Plus, are Curtis and Portia going to make it, or are they already shopping around? Not sure about any of that. Isaiah deserves a meatier role. He's not just beefcake! And it's softball season...

Sort of like Willow, but without the overbearing douchebag yammering non-stop. Anyway. They can't figure out who knows what. That's across multiple storylines. They also can't figure out why. Apply that to anything you like. Storyline. Outfit. Beverage. Your call. Also who. As in, who cares who gets what child or children? Aren't they all a little disappointing? Bottom line, apologies for whatever Gia and Keisha have going on in this episode. Best...

Gia is back! And, according to her, functioning at 98%. We'll let her believe that. So much happening in Port Charles! A lot of raised voices, but some of them reasonable (Maxie and Chase)! Brook Lynn struck Lulu, and the world rejoiced. Chase didn't strike Dante, and the world was impressed. Jason didn't strike Drew, and that was probably smart, although he could have paid some kid to punch him in the nuts, and the world would have cheered. Willow is finally getting a break from Drew, but he won't stay away for long. Poor Willow. And let's hope Emma...

That baby had better be okay, or Jason, Michael, and anyone else interested in being a father to Sasha's baby will be coming down hard on Ric and whoever spilled Sasha's beans. Meanwhile, the whole Gio situation is still being processed at a high volume. Except for Sonny, who continues to be quite relaxed about everything.

It's getting loud in Port Charles! Perhaps a rule limiting the amount of shouting per episode to, say, five minutes? No? Worth a try. Brook Lynn's voice is sounding tired. Gloria's voice could peel paint. Even Rocco is loud. And no one needs to hear Lulu's voice. Kristina, Alexis, and Lucky are sounding a bit nutty, even mental. Sonny! Who knew Sonny's voice would become the most soothing? Wouldn't it be fun if Gio moved in with Grandpa Sonny? Next stop, the courtroom. Probably more yelling. Definitely more yelling. #mauricebenard #kellythiebaud #rogerhowarth #maurawest #steveburton #delirious #barshampoo #daydrinkingwithsethmeyers #hi...

Some great daytime drama in Port Charles! Now, Lois is catching a lot of flak for the decisions she made re: Gio, but Gia and Keisha are feeling a bit of sympathy for her. Of course, Lulu deserves every bit of criticism leveled at her. She's awful. Tracy and Ned get points for loveliness. As does Emma. Back squarely in the awful department: Drew. How did he manage to find a way to become so much worse?! So much. Pocketing Lila's ring. OMG. Run, Willow, run. Also, the new Michael seems to be working out, but it is early...

The votes are in, and the winner of best Nurse's Ball performance is----A tie? Gia liked(!) the children at the end. She hasn't been the same since she cut down on the drinking. And Keisha liked Trina and Joss (also their dresses). So, much like the Curtis vs. Portia debate, they have agreed (grudgingly) to disagree. Also, Michael is back! Well, someone answering to the name Michael has arrived and stolen Wiley (notice no one fought him on this). Plenty of soapy goodness (Gia's words) to look forward to this week! And Lulu owes Gio a new violin, right?

On that and not much else. Well, Lulu is terrible. They still agree about that. And Gio has some real acting chops! He's not just a pretty violinist! But, oh dear, so much pain. And then there's Alexis and Kristina. Talk about a handful. And Curtis and Portia. Is Curtis too rigid? Or is Portia not rigid enough? Gia and Keisha may...

And maybe they just need to get Drew in the ring and give him a good, old-fashioned pummeling? Also, can someone pick up the phone and call Michael? Or just send him a text?

Some stuff going on in Port Charles! At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Lulu and Dante are awful. We hope at least Dante can recover. Rocco is exhibiting some strength of character. Always nice to see in a young man. Of course, Drew has zero character. Sonny is growing as a character. Will he leave Sidwell for Laura, Jordan, and Anna to handle?

Dante! Try harder! Ditto, Lulu! Yeesh. Rocco would be better off being raised by wolves right now. And Tracy, what's your deal? Playing both sides all over town. Behave! Now, will Jason and Sasha figure out Drew thwarted Willow's plans to see Michael? Will Jason track down baby Gio for Tracy? Will Jason and Sonny get out of the mob and, what, coach little league? That could be cute. Also, what is Drew doing with a vial of something in his pocket? #mauricebenard #kellythiebaud #rogerhowarth #maurawest #steveburton #delirious #barshampoo #daydrinkingwithsethmeyers #hillstreetblues #kinshriner #nicholaschavez #afterlife #rickygervais #hallandoates #superstore #fr...

Will Lulu destroy Brook Lynn? Will Tracy destroy Lois? And will Rocco recover? Lots going on! Also, Gia talks about horses.

Also, Lulu is kind of behaving badly and maybe fooling herself, but not Gia and Keisha. Plus, it looks like Joss is going to behave badly because she's a spy now, and that's what spies do.

But if you're a fan of sweaters, General Hospital is firing on all cylinders. And Drew and Jens are neck and neck for the creepiest man in Port Charles award, so that's pleasant. But on the positive side, Lucky is awake and had some lovely scenes with Lulu, Laura, Elizabeth, and Sonny! Also, for anyone interested in a podcast about a General Hospital and Ricky Gervais f...

Gia and Keisha are still struggling with the new/old Aiden! He's so old! Otherwise, good to see the old Lucky back, even if he's unconscious. And Laura and Martin were lovely together in their despair. Joss might be the next resident badass. Drew is still just an ass. Jason is still a badass, and it looks like Brennan might also just be an ass. Also, someone needs to teach Sasha and Tracy how to brew a pot of tea. #mauricebenard #kellythiebaud #rogerhowarth #maurawest #steveburton #delirious #tshirtgiveaway #barshampoo #daydrinkingwithsethmeyers #hillstreetblues #kinshriner #saveava #nicholaschavez #savediane #afterlife #rickygervais #stonewallkitchen #h...

Joss--best cop in Port Charles? Definitely. So capable. Like Jason-level capable. And it looks like Brennan is going to fix the dead Cyrus situation just like he fixed Carly's faucet. Well, not with a wrench. Meanwhile, Drew continues to spread joy all over town. Also, swapping Luckys right before the big kiss? Very disappointing. But maybe the sub will be unconscious until our Lucky returns. Fingers crossed. And it looks like Brook Lynn and Chase are in for a rough patch.

In spite of some sloppiness regarding inconsistent character behavior (Tracy with Sasha, Willow...just Willow), Gia and Keisha found a lot to like about mid-week Hospital. Elizabeth and Lucky had a lovely scene together before Rik crashed it. Carly and Lucas are working well as siblings. Sasha held her own against that smarmy tool Drew (after Carly chewed him out in spectacular fashion, and before Cody did the same). In other words, it was a great week for Drew-haters.

The only good thing about Drew is he seems to inspire those around him to become more interesting. Sidwell doesn't appear to have this effect on those around him. Meanwhile, Gio's origin story is making Gia and Keisha feel insulted. And they can generally take an insult (and hurl one), but, as Gia says, only if it works.

On the positive side, Kristina's outfit was great, Elizabeth and Lucky are sweet sleuthing together, and Brick still knows how to wear a suit. But then there's the other side. Even though he looks good in a suit, Brick is a creepy when it comes to Jordan. He just can't talk to her like a human being. Ditto Drew with Willow.

Episode Three Hundred Three - 10/21/2024
Gia and Keisha are a little cranky. Could be age. Or awful storylines (mostly the Sasha Scorpio development). Probably both. And maybe also the age of the characters involved in the awful storylines. But there were some nice moments, beginning with the ageless Elizabeth and Lucky. And the appropriately aging Laura and Kevin. And the appealing to people of all ages Violet. Who wore down even Gia and Keisha. Of course, to offset the nice moments, Drew had to make an appearance. Probably killed him to see a tiny woman behaving like an actual hero. Violence is never the...

Episode Three Hundred Two - 10/17/2024
So it's mid-week housekeeping time on General Hospital, and Gia and Keisha are not impressed. Sam apparently was too busy diving for a gun and missed the memo that Lulu's situation was critical? Better late than never? And Holly just remembered she had a daughter with Robert? Yeesh. Gia and Keisha may be proof that Neuriva can't work miracles, but they would appreciate it of the GH writers gave them a little credit. Try harder, please. If not for them, then for the fine actors who deserve better. #mauricebenard #kellythiebaud #rogerhowarth #maurawest #steveburton #delirious #tshirtgiveaway #barshampoo #daydrinkingwithsethmeyers #h...

America, World, Portugal! Gia is back and safe at home! So the girls have a lot of ground to cover. Lots of interesting movement over the past several episodes! Lucky is back and not proving to be all that lucky. But he may turn out to be useful yet. And Laura certainly needs at least one child who isn't in jail or unconscious. Meanwhile, Keisha believes Sonny may have experienced some personal growth. Gia does not agree. Both Gia and Keisha agree that Portia looks more and more compromised, Ava continues to look fabulous, Aiden looks like Lucky's much...

Gia and Keisha were okay with today's episode of General Hospital. There were some nice moments: Elizabeth and Lucky (how gracious was Elizabeth, being true to herself and Aidan while at the same time having to endure Lucky's smell!), Sam and Dante (although how hard must Lulu have been bumming listening to that conversation, coma or no coma?), and Ava and Trina (Gia learned the difference between ombre and hombre today!).

Episode Two Hundred Ninety-Nine - 09/30//2024
Can Gia and Keisha keep it together long enough to discuss one (1) episode of General Hospital? They cannot. So if you were expecting to gain some real insights into the characters and storylines of America's favorite soap opera, you may be disappointed. You will be disappointed. Oh, there is some GH related whining. And a bit of applause for the return of Terry. But mostly there is nonsense. Middle-aged women nonsense. Gia and Keisha apologize, in their way. #mauricebenard #kellythiebaud #rogerhowarth #maurawest #steveburton #delirious #tshirtgiveaway #barshampoo #daydrinkingwithsethmeyers #hillstreetblues #kinshriner #saveava #nicholaschavez #savediane #afterlife #rickygervais #stonewallkitchen #hallandoates #superstore #f...

Well the good news is the poker game is finally over! And, perhaps giddy at the thought of never having to pretend he has a losing hand again, Jason kissed Anna! And she kissed him back! Is this anything? No idea. But at least it's not more poker! Meanwhile, Drew continues to poke poor Willow, who is really struggling to keep it together. James may have done Willow a kindness by spilling the beans to Ned about the kiss that probably wasn't even that enjoyable. But will Drew get shut down before he inflicts more of his special brand...

Oh America, World, Portugal. What is happening to our beloved Hospital? The best thing about the last two episodes? No Ric! Of course, there are always going to be stretches where nothing special happens. But it seems like right now stupid things are happening, and Gia and Keisha get enough of that in their own lives. So maybe there could be less of that? Maybe Willow could take a good look at Drew. And then throw up like the rest of us? Maybe Lois could remember who she is and where she's from? Maybe Laura and Kevin could realize...

All right listen General Hospital, no one needs to see greasy old Drew wandering around the Quartermaine grounds like it's the last day at Zuma Beach. Poor Willow. Very difficult to get oil stains out. But isn't Sasha a lovely friend? And distraught, grief-stricken Kristina found a safe space with Felicia, so maybe she can focus more on healing and less on gun stealing. Even Trina seems to be moving forward thanks to Aunt Stella. Now, if only Ric would move on out. That guy is everywhere! Elizabeth, take your French fries and run! #mauricebenard #kellythiebaud #rogerhowarth #m...

Gia and Keisha had really hoped to be electrifying tonight. But it's possible they blew a fuse instead. Who is to blame? Gia? A little. Keisha? A fair amount. Global warming? Well, no one thinks straight when it's unseasonably hot and humid. The General Hospital writers? Absolutely positively. So, if the writers aren't even going to try to stay true to characters who have been part of the show for decades, how are Gia and Keisha supposed to stay on topic? Tracy is suddenly shutting down the part of herself that allowed for a little warmth, a little kindness...

Gia and Keisha are not always sharp. This is not new information. Today's episode is a bit of a montage drifting between superficial observations regarding outfits and hair, and superficial observations about characters who get too much airtime (Ric, Drew, Ric) and characters who get none (Liesl--where the hell is Liesl?! Brad, Terry). Also Gia mourns the end of watermelon season, and Keisha wonders if there are real-life mobsters who would be fun to have lunch with. #mauricebenard #kellythiebaud #rogerhowarth #maurawest #steveburton #delirious #tshirtgiveaway #barshampoo #daydrinkingwithsethmeyers #hillstreetblues #kinshriner #saveava #nicholaschavez #savediane #afterlife #rickygervais #stonewallkitchen #hallandoates #superstore #freaksandgeeks #w...

It's hard being a parent, especially on a soap opera. Poor Alexis, doing her best to keep her girls safe and sound, and now she's the one falling apart. And Carly, covering for Sonny because that's who she is, but Joss needs her to be someone else. On the flip side, Molly is going to wish Ric was someone else. And the way Portia is acting, Trina might be wishing for the same soon. But Jason will always be Jason, apparently, melting guns next to sacks of coffee. Good for him!? And Sonny will always be Sonny. Is that...

At the risk of repeating a point made here before, Gia and Keisha do not care for Drew. Not even a little bit. Should Curtis have tried a little harder to talk some sense into him? Would it have made a difference? No. Because Drew is awful. And Willow is feeling just about the way she should feel, but will she come to her senses? And will Elizabeth come to her senses? Ric has done nothing to prove he has changed. Then there's Kristina and Alexis. Which one of them will crash and burn first? It's beginning to look...

What a Tuesday! Somehow Willow and Drew were once again pushed together and forced to kiss. Poor Michael was wandering around with an umbrella and somehow became Sonny's fixer. And Jason had to deal with yet another person in need of emergency care, but he couldn't manage to stick around for the ambulance. Plus our darling Elizabeth seems willing to break bread with Ric Lansing! The takeaway seems to be that rain creates problems. Also, Kristina did a wonderful job at the cemetery. Very moving. Even Keisha felt something. Good stuff! #mauricebenard #kellythiebaud #rogerhowarth #maurawest #steveburton #delirious #t...

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...

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? #mauricebenard #kellythiebaud #rogerhowarth #maurawest #steveburton #delirious #tshirtgiveaway #barshampoo #daydrinkingwithsethmeyers #hillstreetblues #kinshriner #saveava #nicholaschavez #savediane #stonewallkitchen #hallandoates #superstore #freaksandgeeks #waitingonafriend #memyselfi #freefallin #alanarkin #whosgonnarideyourwildhorses #maneater #whippingpost #colonoscopy #takethenap #alleymills #billylibby #chickadee #fo...

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...

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. #mauricebenard #kellythiebaud #r...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Rose = Tracy, Ned, Sasha, Dante, Maxie, Laura, Felicia, and a lot of other people. Thorn = Drew. Just Drew. How long before Willow starts seeing him as just a big old creep? And sure, there are people who are becoming thorns (Jagger, Ava, Molly, TJ,....), and others who will always be both rose and thorn (Sonny? Nina? Valentin?), but who will prevail? Who will end up in jail? Carly? Hard to imagine. Sonny? Slightly easier to imagine. Drew?

Lots of nice moments in Port Charles lately (mostly)! Cody and Tracy. Gio and Tracy. Laura and Dante (and a headless body plus a wig). Joss and Trina. Ava and Scotty (well, that's where it got a little dicey). Diane, Sonny, and Michael (more of a nice moment turned hostile). But, overall, high marks across the board. Still, Gia would like the record to show that James would not wear a cowboy hat while riding at the Quartermaine's. And also, she wishes the props department could have chosen something other than a fragile turtle dove with no means of...
