The Beauty That is JaSam

Jason and Sam have always had a way of setting the screen on fire in their scenes in a way no one else can.  It is a true gift and the reason I think why this couple has captivated such an audience and following.  In 2004 even when the two didn't like each other you could see the chemistry and passion building.  Through Sam's whole pregnancy you saw how much Jason already loved her but wasn't ready to tell her.  When her baby died you saw how he hung on her every breath while she recovered.  This amazing couple went on to fight against kidnappers, Federal prosecutors, an assorted amount of mob enemies, a shrink with revenge on his mind, memory loss, train wrecks, man made viruses and of course even Manny Ruiz.  Manny was quite possible the scariest villain GH ever crafted.  There have always been villains but most are almost comical but not Manny.  Manny Ruiz terrorized  Sam and brought up terror in the rest of us.  The actor who portrayed Manny, Robert LaSardo, was so believable it was disturbing.  Yet through it all this couple had us hooked.  Their scenes were intense and passionate.  The way Jason would look at Sam with such intensity made any person (even those who weren't believers) just get weak in the knees.  Even through their "rough patch" (this is what I call 2007- late 2008), Jason still looked at Sam with such intensity.  He never has stopped loving her.  Even when it didn't seem like it and he threatened to kill her, he still loved her but was so deeply hurt  and let that pain show through.

I would like to point out in 2007 while Sam was wrong in her actions, Jason was wrong too.  He was so wrong to neglect and lie to Sam.  He had hurt her so much and destroyed all of her trust in him that her actions, while extreme and wrong, spoke to this betrayal.  While I hate those years they were apart, in some ways it made them even stronger.

They overcame it all, taking stock in realizing never to keep the truth from one another no matter the cost.  Through all of the pain, lies, betrayals and unfaithfulness the two rise again now stronger then ever.  Now, I would be lying if I was to say I our super couple are together and we can watch with intensity once more.  However, I do wish the two would talk about the "rough patch" years and at least explain to one another that even while with other people their love never died for one another.  I think it's important as fans we hear this.  And yes, I do believe you can have many loves in your life and love more then one person at a time.  But in the end it's the love that is the most intense and most deep in which the one you always come back to.  This is the case with Jason and Sam. 

Lately we have had a slight dry spell when it comes to scenes with Jason and Sam.  In the midst of Sonny's trial and everything in Port Charles revolving around Michael, Jason and Sam haven't had much time to be the sensational couple we know them to be.  The show is also trying to develop another super couple (without much success) between Dante and Lulu.  While the cute witty banter between Lulu and Dante was charming at first, I don't find this couple any match for Jason and Sam.   Nor is the couple one of my top picks anymore.  Their self righteousness through Sonny's trail has only soured my view of them and reminded me once again that they are no match for our JaSam.  I ask the writers please to give us more air time with Jason and Sam.  Give us that passion and intensity we all crave and tune in for.  We are tired of watching Carly and Sonny worry about Michael, Olivia and Johnny talk about Sonny all the time and Helena scheming.  Please give us good quality JaSam air time, please.
