Grandmother would be proud

This is my first blog about General Hospital's best couple, Jason and Sam. 
I have been a fan of the show for years.  When I was a preteen and teenager I would spend time during the summer breaks from school with my Grandmother who loved the show.  This was back in the Luke/Laura days.  For my Grandmother this show was more to her then just something to watch on TV.  She was enveloped by the show and it's characters.  When the show came on she would turn off the phone and stay transfixed to the television for that hour.  It was really the only time you knew never to talk to Grandmother because she would not pay attention to you.  The house could be on fire - she would not care or even notice.  I smile as I write this description of my wonderful Grandmother.  She and I didn't see eye-to-eye about much during her life, but this is one area we could agree on.  When she died I was about 15 years old.  I stopped watching the show until I got to college mostly because I no longer had anyone to watch the show with.  I followed the show through those years but not very closely.  I knew Robin had contracted HIV and Carly was around, but overall I just watched every once in a while.  It wasn't until after college and I was working I really started watching again.  I discovered Soap net which was great because even though I worked full time I could watch the show at night.  The invention of the DVR was a wonderful aid to keep up my addiction to GH as well. 
In 2004, I started to follow the story of Samantha McCall and Sonny.  I found I loved how the show put Jason and Sam together all the time.  I loved the chemistry between the two actors.  I found myself tuning in each day and watching every time they were on.  When the story line of Sam's baby dying came along I was so impressed how real they made this story line.  I also had the unfortunate experience with a lost of that nature just two years prior and found myself deeply identifying with Sam's character.  I fell in love (so to speak) with the Jason & Sam love story.  I watched ever faithful for 3 years until in 2007 the ripped the best couple in daytime apart for what seemed like forever. The day the show's writers did that I stopped watching the show completely. I remember thinking how upset my Grandmother would have been had she still been alive.  She was a master of the poison pen letters.  I knew if she were still alive she would find a way to send the writers as many letters as she could possibly write. 
My life went on as normal without the show for a couple of years.  One day during the summer of 2009 I happened to be home with a sick kiddo and noticed the show was on.  I turned on just to see if anything had changed, to my surprise it had.  Jason and Sam were friends and the show was building the chemistry between the two again.  I was hooked once again.  Since that day in July, I have tuned in everyday just like Grandmother did in her day watching with hope and excitement for what will happen next.   Now I even find myself writing a blog about the show.  Oh how proud Grandmother would be of me now. 
Please I welcome any fans of GH who are also fans of JaSam to leave comments on this site.  I know there are a lot of sites out there about this couple.  I loved all of the fan sites and frequent them all the time.  I even am known by another name on some of the chats (JasamRULE).  Those sites are great and I have no intentions of competing, all I want to do is give my blog about the show and the greatest couple in daytime TV.
