Hit...Or Miss!

Hit:
GH serves up ladies, liquor, and laughs

By MB

Sometimes a gal just needs to get toasted and rip someone's shirt off. Okay, it's not for everyone, but it worked for GENERAL HOSPITAL'S overworked ladies, when they hit Jake's for a rip-roarin good time.

Shots are always flying fast and furious on GH (from guns - Durant and Carly ducked bullets in the very same episode), but Liz, Robin, Emily and Kelly got loaded on shooters of a different sort. Seeing them slam tequila and take aim at "hot guys," sex, and hospital politices was raunchy good fun. Emily and Elizabeth have been friends for a long time, but not so the rest. Luckily, alcohol can make anyone BFF's, and these lushes let their lusty Sex and the City sides run wild. Sweet, unassuming Elizabeth even tutored Lainey on the pathology of shots - "Lick it, slam it, and suck it!" - setting the tone for a booze-soaked eventing that got progressively campier.

The lasses made coarse jokes about "banging" and giggled over anatomy (not the Grey's kind!) as the much missed Coleman muttered, "Keep your panties on." It was all a welcome relief from what usually passes for bar banter on soaps. But no words were needed when each of the gals conjured steamy fantasies of Port Charles' poster boy for casual sex, Patrick. Strutting their stuff to Beyonce's "Naughty Girl," and tearing open Patrick's shirt five seperate times for five kinds of funny. By the time we saw Emily's vision, Patrick was stripping himself. Fans were either ready to play doctor - or laughing themselves sick.

When a moody Patrick arrived in the flesh, the wanton women plied him with liquor to strop him of his inhinibitions. "What happens at Jake's, stays at Jake's," a tipsy Robin promised as she offered herself up for the night.

Patrick nobly nixed the sloshed doc's sexual healing, but the delightfully unprofessional antics of the other medical professionals proved that laughter really is the best medicine.
