—References to "General Hospital"
Humpty Dumpty
This is a big one for the House/General Hospital crossover.
Not only is the primary PotW ("Patient of the Week") a contract actor on GH but there is actual GH watching by House!
Huzzah!
In the House episode titled"Humpty Dumpty", Ignaccio Sericchio, he of the sexy Spanish and the slow eyes, plays Alfredo, he of the disgustingly rotting hand.
In General Hospital, the actor plays Diego Alcazar, the surprise son from Meh-hee-co. (Really, that's how Ted "Timecop" King pronounces it and it's very silly and distracting.)
Diego is a disaffected youth (the most dangerous kind of youth, you see) who was doing just fine and assimilating and having fun until......the writers decided to assassinate him with deadly writing.
As we saw in an earlier post on this blog Diego is being assassinated by the writers and going, like Alfredo's hand, the way of all flesh.
:-(
Although I wasn't thrilled with Diego Alcazar when he first showed up, I do like him now and am sad to see both his character and the actor leave. The character became much more three dimensional and Servichio's acting ratcheted up several notches.
Oh well, in the immortal words of Stephen Wright, "Ya can't have everything. Where would you put it?"
=============
During the episode, House is sitting in the Clinic room he always sits in. He's sucking on a lollipop (okay, hot) and watching the Minivision.
Happily enough, the show has finally decided to get their timing right.
Stacy (okay, not hot) comes in and House says, "Gotta patient!"
Stacy (just, ew) says, "Not according to the log!"
Busted!
House compromises, "But, it's 3:15. Commercial."
Which is freakin' hilarious.
And true.
Short commercials at 3:15 and 3:45. Long set at 3:30.
And could that be a true shoutout to me that I call people boneheads who come in during the show rather than waiting for commercials?!
Surely not.
But I like the idea. ;-)
PS: Ignacio is from Buenos Aires. Of course.
