Joe Fitzpatrick:The Only Guy Doing His Job

What this episode covers

General Hospital Snarkcast - Recorded Monday, June 29, 2026 It's the last Monday of June and Mama Snark and Snark Jr. are already sweating through a heat wave -- at least one of us literally. David is conserving energy in a dark apartment in New York while Lianne knits in Southern California, and somehow the Snarkcast gets made anyway.This was a popcorn week on General Hospital -- a little bite of every storyline, and yet somehow things actually moved forward more than they felt like they did in the moment. We break it all down.The Accident non-story continues to get remarkable mileage out of absolutely nothing. Chase and Curtis are losing their minds over an accident that involved one car, while Chase simultaneously cannot stop wandering after Willow, even as he makes grand speeches about commitment to Brook Lynn. Tracy sees it. We see it. Chase does not.Sidwell has moved himself into Willow's house uninvited, and we are here for it. The man wants the right yogurt and the right tea and Willow is running a congressional district, a paralyzed husband, and an unwanted houseguest simultaneously. Meanwhile, Drew sits in that chair, buffed and strapped in like some kind of gargoyle, blinking at whoever will pay attention.Speaking of which -- Joe Fitzpatrick is Mama Snark's character of the week, and it is well deserved. This man actually does his job, has a dry sense of humor, and held a coherent conversation with a paralyzed man better than anyone else on canvas. We stan.Snark Jr. makes the case for Charlotte as his character of the week. She is Valentine Cassadine's daughter in every way that counts, and she can hold her own in any conversation. However, General Hospital could let her save herself once in a while instead of waiting for Danny to show up. We are tired of saying this.Trina's stoic farewell speech to her parents landed well -- robotic tantrum and all. Get her out of that orbit. Meanwhile Anna is back and immediately dropping cryptic bombshells about Nathan not being Nathan, which Felicia will either investigate immediately or completely ignore until it blows up in everyone's faces. General Hospital has two speeds on this and we know them both.Sonny, once the undisputed center of this show, is now showing up once or twice a week to yell something threatening while his face goes red. The comparison to a dachshund barking furiously at a mailman was made and we stand by it. Sidwell, by contrast, is charming, funny, and actually feels dangerous. The contrast is stark.Snark Jr.'s soap recommendation this week takes us to a Guiding Light Substack written by someone who worked right next door to the CBS studio for years.
