Bait and Switch

Finally this is the General Hospital I have been waiting to watch.  The writing and story lines are the ones I tune in for.  October was a painful month and the ratings have reflected it but things appear to be looking up.  I was not shocked to see the latest ratings showed that the Dante/Brenda droning story line lost a lot of fans and the lack of Jason and Sam was clearly noticed. The only story line that kept the show from completely going to the bottom was the Scrubs and wacky Lisa story line.  Today's show did not disappoint. The sweeps are here and thank goodness because the show needed this. 

Today was a game of bait and switch in more ways then one.  The plan is set Lucky would carry out his plan of 'kidnapping' 'Brenda' (the bait) and set the trap for the Balkan.  However, I think we all know the road to Hell is paved with some of the even the best laid plans which is probably going to be the case here.  It was almost touching how Nikolas did a switch in his recently character and was concerned about his brother.  Finally Nikolas is back to being his normal self it appears then a fiance stealing lair.  Glad to see it because I have a feeling Nikolas might become more involved with this story line then he wants to be.  Lets not all forget his family ties, his money and he did mention his dear old Granny has dealt with the Balkan in the past.   If the Balkan does snatch Sam a second time you can bet even though Nikolas and Sam aren't super close he isn't going to let someone mess with his family. Lucky and Siobhan's good-bye to one another was rather sweet and reminds us all about this tender budding romance is delicate but has some serious potential.

Speaking of tender budding romances, I am loving McAbby (Michael and Abby).  Abby seems to be the only person who can get Michael to smile and be more relaxed then he has been since he woke up from his coma.  Michael has had so much rage and anger since he woke up over a year ago but now with Abby he seems to be able to be almost at peace.  Abby has given Michael such a gift and all she has done is accept him for who he is.  That is what he needed.  Abby is mature and understanding which is what he needs.  She doesn't judge him or expect him to be like a normal 18 year old boy. I think we will learn more about Abby as the weeks progress and find out why she is so understanding. They are so refreshing to watch I can't get enough of them.  I hope this budding romance or even friendship continues.

Speaking of switch, Dante switched up the original plan on Lucky by having Max and Milo be Sam's guards which hopefully has not lasting effects.  Max and Milo provided a comedic relief to a very intense and serious set of scenes today.  They play perfect brothers and I guess that is because they are actually brothers in real life.  Max the older caution brother and Milo the willing and able participate in any plan.  Milo made me laugh 'We are just happy to help'.  Those two are always amusing and clearly have a great time working together on the show.


Now for the big story of the day.  The real bait, the kidnapping of  "Brenda".  Sam's resemblance to Brenda is close but Sam makes a much more striking Brenda then Brenda herself does on a good day. Jason's concern was written all over his face when Sam came down the stairs dressed as Brenda.  He is living with abject fear that something is going to go wrong and she might potentially get hurt.  It is weighing heavy on his mind and you can see it today especially.   He has no doubt about Sam's abilities to hold her own but is scared that something will not go as planned.  He is also concerned (and rightfully so) that Brenda will do something to mess up this plan.  She's been known for this in the past.  I love the line by Jason 'Dante, good luck'. In other words, have fun with this drama queen the love of my life is putting her life on the line and I am not about to stay here with this pain in the ass and listen her to anymore.  While Lucky's grabbing Sam was somewhat believable we  all know Sam would have kicked his tail into next Tuesday had she been really been grabbed by someone.  But Sam is not Brenda (Thank God on so many levels) so she had to act like a helpless super model would and put up as little fight as she could.
When the pair arrived at the warehouse and met Jason they were all relieved to see one another and impressed their plan had worked so far.  I love how Sam and Lucky interact together in situations like this.  Lucky and Sam being old flames still have complete respect for one another and also have each others back. He was worried he might have hurt her and showed special care as he freed her hands.  Jason hated seeing Sam blindfolded and you could tell even if it was trusted Lucky who put her there and it was a fake.  Jason's concern was tangible. He just wanted to hold Sam in his arms and keep her as close and safe as he could.  He absolutely hates the fact that he has been involved with this whole situation but hates it more it involves Sam.  While he hates it, he trusts that she will do anything to keep herself and him safe. They are a team in life and in love.  That's the magic that we all love to see on screen.  The final scene was my most favorite of the day. Lucky carefully bound Sam's hands so she can slip her hands out, Jason walking up to Sam asking her about having her gun and knife ready and to give some last minute suggestions.  He tells her he loves her, tells her to be careful and kisses her.  The look they exchanged at that moment was pure unconditional love. This scene made my heart skip a beat.  They are both so afraid but incredibly brave and know that just having each others love will keep them safe in this situation. 

The final switch of the day was the bait (Brenda) knocking Dante out and running out the door to head to the warehouse.  We can only hope someone catches up with her before she gets there because otherwise she could potentially get them all killed.  We would only be so lucky to have Dante and Brenda killed but I doubt that will happen.

I personally can not wait until next week and it has been a long time since I have said that where GH is concerned.  Please call the comment line 1-323-671-4583 and keep the positive feedback flooding into them. 
Happy Halloween everyone and until next week!
Some questions the week has left us with:
Is Siobhan working with the Balkan?
Who knew Brenda was a cougar and  banged Dante when he was a rookie cop? I can't wait for Carly to spill that if it is true.
Will Brenda screw up the meeting with the Balkan and get Sam or Jason hurt in the process?
Will Sam get grabbed a second time but this time it be for real?
Will Jason go out of his mind if Sam is really in danger?
Is Saghag working with the Balkan? (I think so)
Will Spinelli every grow a pair and get over his fantasy of Brenda?
Who took Emma? Was it Lisa or was it someone else?
Why did Emma get taken the instant Abby left? Did Abby witness it?
What happened to the pregnancy story line?  Was it just a ruse? (I think so)

I'm Not Leaving You

Christmas has come early for us JaSam fans!  Yesterday was classic JaSam that was amazing! Reminded us all why we love this couple.  While I have seen that episode more then a dozen time I was still sucked in like it was the first time.  Then today we got 9 full minutes of Jason and Sam.  It was the first time in ages we have seen those two on our screen so much.  Also NO BRENDA!  While we had to tolerate a little Dante he wasn't the dominate story today.  Today was a great way to start sweeps! All the first string actors we on our screen today. 

I just loved how Jason and Sam interacted today.  The opening scene of the two of them at the Pent House was so sweet.  You can tell Sam likes Brenda enough not to hate her but sees that she is beyond high maintenance and I don't think Sam appreciates how Brenda treats Jason. You could see Jason just wanted to kiss Sam instead of deal with all of this crap. Brenda is the classic drama queen as so clearly illustrated today. I loved Sam's suggestion to lock Brenda in her room.  Can we leave her there forever and throw away the key, please? She could have made this whole situation disappear ages ago but she has to keep the stupid secrete of banging Dante and covering up some murder and who knows what else (and who cares about what else) if it means she goes on and on.   Sam and Jason's special moment was disrupted by Saghag, who seriously needs to wear something more age appropriate.  Saghag had to throw cold water on the specially crafted plan that Jason and Sam have been working on. While I am not Saghag's biggest fan, I liked how she asked "is this some kind of code" when Spinelli was rambling on about Brenda and her yoga.  I have a suspicion that Saghag Suzanne is actually working with the Balkan.  She is just too self righteous and pushy to be legitimate.  Maybe we can hope that if Saghag and the Balkan are working together they can take Spinelli in her place.  I miss Spinelli and Maxie together. She gave him purpose and Maxie is always entertaining.  I am so extremely tired of him drooling all over the penthouse like a lost puppy dog.  They really need to do something else with his character before the whole city of Port Charles is ready to gift wrap him and ship him to the Balkan. 

The best part of today's show was the time Jason and Sam spent time ALONE together at the warehouse.  It was incredibly sweet and so true to Sam character that her primary concern is not the fact that she is risking her life in this situation but that Jason could be potentially walking into a trap that could get him arrested.  Sam and Jason most precious gift to one another is just time together.  As they walked through possible escape routes for Sam to follow their playfulness was the magic we tune into this show for.  Jason's primary concern is that Sam gets out of there safe.  The best line of the day was by Jason to Sam "I'm not leaving you".  Jason's simple declaration spoke volumes to Sam and to their commitment to one another.  Sam is the perfect woman for Jason.  She is strong, resilient and confident and is the perfect match for Jason in every way.  He knows this and is smart enough to realize this go around he would never do anything risk this.  Much like the intro to yesterday's encore episode said, "it took a long time for Jason and Sam  to get it right" which is true but Jason and Sam both are so grateful.

On another note, I am loving Michael and Abby.  They are so sweet and refreshing together.  Finally someone Michael can open up to.  Sam knew what she was doing when she introduced these two.  I like the fact Sam and Abby are friends.  It shows Sam is an excellent judge of character.

While I don't usually enjoy Claire's scenes, I did enjoy her scenes with Alexis today.  It was so good to see Alexis on screen and she looked stunning.  Clearly this time away from GH is doing Nancy Lee Grann well.  She looked amazing!

Please call the comment lines and thank them for two absolutely amazing days.  We have been very fortunate and we need to thank them this great gift!

Best Laid Plans

Finally Sam McCall has been sighted, we can all start watching General Hospital again. I love the Jason and Sam scenes today.  While there was no hugging or kissing there was genuine love between them today.  I actually expected Jason to object more to Sam's suggestion of posing as Brenda. But she did remind him she is completely capable of taking care of herself and handling situations like this.  Neither one of them want to think of the worst case scenario but Sam sees it as basically the chances for this plan to go bad increase exponentially with Brenda as bait.  Not to mention if Jason is walking into a potentially life and death situation, she wants to be with him.  That is the beauty of JaSam on our screens.  They are a team in life and in love.  Both Jason and Sam communicate well with Lucky so they are much better off having the three of them together then having Brenda potentially screwing this up.  I think Jason saw Sam's point rather quickly and realized he could not argue with her points.

Of course we know Brenda and Dante will find a way to screw up the plan but I'll be excited to see how this all plays out.  We can only hope that the Balkan kills both Brenda and Dante then leaves town.  Oh wishful thinking again.


Am I the only one that wanted Sam to smack Brenda when she started laying into Jason about being nice to Jax?  Oh please! Where does Brenda have the right to ask Jason to be nice to his best friend's husband.  Jason didn't seem overly unfriendly to Jax.  That is how he and Jax interact.  What business is it of her's anyway?  I found it kind of funny how Sam didn't even want to get in the middle of the bickering of Jason and Brenda today.  She sat quietly on the stairs and just watched it play out. 

I loved Molly calling Michael about Sam.  FINALLY someone is worried about Sam or at least noticed she hasn't been around much.   I often feel like Molly is overly nosy except today I enjoyed her scene with Michael discussing Jason and Sam. We all felt Molly was saying what we were thinking, 'I don't want Sam to feel neglected', how could she not with Spinelli running after Brenda and Jason putting their life on hold for Brenda.  I also loved the line 'I don't want Sam to feel ordinary or unappreciated' .  That is how we all feel Sam should be feeling right now with Brenda running Jason's life right now.  I agree with Molly 100% Jason does need to do something romantic soon for Sam.  Michael can clearly see the love between Jason and Sam and want that for his own.  Jason and Sam are probably the most solid relationship (even with their long breakup) that Michael has ever been able to witness.  Michael and Abby are cute together.  I am not sure who is a better fit for Michael at this point, Abby or Alley.  I am leaning towards Abby just because she's sweet and not naive.  Michael I think needs someone who knows he's been through hell and doesn't expect him to be normal.  On a side note, the song that was playing in the background when Abby and Michael were talking, was that a Steven Clay (aka Caleb) song Newborn Hearts from Port Charles playing?  Those of you who are old Port Charles fans might have recognized that song as I did. 

Lulu really does get the stupidest person award again and again these days.  Not only does she try to convince Carly to ask Brenda to be on the cover of her stupid little magazine but then she goes and blows Lucky's cover AGAIN!.  Really?  How much more stupid can she get before we can get her killed off or sent back to Shadybrook I have to ask?  Why didn't Lulu just go to Wyndamere to talk to Lucky? That would have been a much more logical choice.

I don't think Tracy is anyone's fool.  I honestly think she is conning Luke, Maya, Monica and the rest of the Spencers to thinking she believes Luke's heart attack.  Tracy loves Luke that has never been the question, but she's a smart woman and I think she'll surprise us soon.  I love Luke and Tracy together so I hope even though she doesn't really have the wool pulled over eyes, she and Luke really do reconcile.  I love their pet names for one another 'popcycle' is my favorite.  It's true Tracy is as cold as ice to some but her and Luke have something quiet entertaining together.

Tomorrow will be great, no Dante, no Brenda just Jason and Sam encore episode.  Tune in apparently there will be a preview of things to come.  We'll maybe see if those pregnancy rumors are just rumors or something else.  Keep calling the comment line and keep the faith! Our couple is amazing!

Missing One Woman Need PI Assistance

We need to hire McCall and Jackal to find a missing woman.  She is very resourceful but we have worried that the Balkan or someone else has abducted her and her "devoted" boyfriend hasn't even noticed.  We are going through Sam McCall withdrawals on GH lately.  I have called the comment line constantly to let them know we have had WAY TOO MUCH Dante and Brenda and way too little Sam.  I don't even really care if Jason and Sam are in a scene together at this point.  I just want to see Sam.    This was a long and painful week without our favorite female character.  I really hope Sam is on next week.

There were a few entertaining moments this week amongst all the painfully boring Dante and Brenda.  Lisa being released out the of loony bin (probably prematurely) and walking back in the hospital was by far my favorite.  Oh the look on Robin and Patrick's faces was classic.  They both looked like they had seen a ghost.  Oh have no fear Lisa is so good at convincing all that she is not crazy she even snowed the staff at Shadybrook. Shadybrook doctors have been incorrect about other people in the past and their mental well being.  We all know they were wrong to release Lisa but darn it makes for a good story.  Oh DAMN is Brianna Brown good at playing high octane psycho crazy.  Lisa is so damn good at making Robin looking crazy.  I am such a fan of this whole story line.  I keep watching whenever this story is on.  They have really done an outstanding job on this. 

I like the sweet romance that is developing between Siobhan and Lucky.  She's got a firey temper and charm about her that I think is good for Lucky. I missed some of the shows this week because I could not stand watching Brenda and Dante so much.  But I missed the part where Lucky was hurt but it appeared Siobhan's nursing skills were more then impressive for our undercover Lucky.  Best part of Siobhan is she could probably take on Elizabeth and win. 

Brook Lynn and Nicolas are cute together too.  I think these budding romances developing this year are sweet.  We probably would not be as taken by them if it wasn't for the fact we search the show for something to not have to do with Brenda and Dante. 

Please call the comment lines, send emails and write letters.  Flood the writers letting them know we love Jason and Sam together and would love to actually see them on the screen together.

Can we take much more?

I've been trying to figure out what to write about the last few days episodes and have been coming up rather empty handed.  I don't have many positive things to say about what the GH writers have been doing with the show lately. It seems like Dante and Brenda are taking over our TV screens.  I am so tired of hearing about Brenda, Brenda, Brenda and now she had a thing with Dante?  Oh My Goodness!!! Why do Brenda and Dante need to be part of EVERY story line?  It is bad enough to endure Brenda's whining about how she wants to leave Port Charles but now we have to watch fake flashbacks of Dante and Brenda.  Oh My, just when we thought we couldn't get anymore of them they have found a way to ram more Brenda and Dante into that hour a day.  I really think they should rename the show "The Brenda and Dante hour".  I got a little fired up during today's show and called the comment line about a few times to tell them how tired I was of Dante and Brenda.  Probably a little overkill on my part but I am just so tired of it.

I found Luke and Lucky funny until the Balkan ordered Lucky to go after Brenda. The only silver lining in this is Lucky finally has a girl that seems nice he can spend some time with.  I don't think Siobhan has slept with Nicolas so I think she's safe.  I have to say if we are forced to watch much more Brenda taking over our TV screens, I am going to be excited for Liz's return as long as she stays out of Jason and Sam's life.  It is possible that maybe Liz/Nookie's story line won't have to have anything to do with Brenda or Dante. 

I think I could take the Brenda and Dante invasion, if Jason and Sam were given some air time too.  Is Sam going to be on for more then 15 seconds this month?  Kelly Monaco is so incredibly talented why do the head GH writers take her for granted?  She has so much talent why do they continue to over look her for story lines.  I do hope this fall we get some quality Jason and Sam air time.  I also hope Sam gets her own story line.

The End to a Long Week

This week started out amazing for JaSam fans.  I have probably re-watched Monday's episode over a dozen times.  Thank goodness we had Monday's episode too because the rest of this week has not lived up to my expectations for the week.  Seriously how many days in a row does Dante, Lulu and Brenda have to be on the screen.  Out of the three of them, Brenda is by far my favorite.  While Brenda is shaking things up around Port Charles a little I have a lot more respect for Brenda and her history with the show then Dudu.  Brenda can be annoying and if she laughs much more I might pray someone smothers her with one of those fluffy pillows in her giant pink room.  But at least there is something somewhat interesting about Brenda's story line.  The history with Sonny and the chemistry between the two actors is interesting to watch.  I really loathed Jax in the past year and many times while he has been on GH but now he and Carly seem happy so I don't think I want them to break up over Brenda.   I love that Carly and Brenda hate each other.  It's fun to watch. I loved how Carly asked Jason of all the places in the world, why did he bring Brenda back to Port Charles.  Carly has the most to lose with Brenda's return and Jason really wasn't thinking about his dear best friend when he made this decision.  Jason isn't a real forward thinker sometimes.   Brenda will cause some problems and shake some things up and get in story lines and way too much air time in the coming months I am sure.  But if I have to watch Brenda or Dudu - I pick Brenda as long as she doesn't come between Jason and Sam.

The whole story line of Lulu and Dante traveling to  Ireland to help Lucky was completely stupid.  What or who did Dominic Z do to be getting himself inserted into absolutely every story line available on the show?  It is really stupid and making me sour towards the show some days.  Lulu has completely lost her brain and really needs a very harsh wake up call soon.  I am really finding it hard pressed to actually find Lante fans.  I will admit, at first I thought they were cute with his cheesy pick-up lines and her 'oh hell no I am not falling for that crap' attitude but that is gone.  They are the most boring and nauseating couple around.  I think I would not hate Dudu so much if we didn't have to see them EVERY FREAKING DAY!!!!

The Lucky story line in Ireland is now looking up with Luke there.  Luke and Lucky are so funny together.  I love watching them.  I am so happy Luke is back on screen and I can't wait for he and Tracy to start interacting again.  I love Luke and Tracy.  They are my second favorite couple.  They make me laugh and are sweet in their own special way.  I can't wait to see what Luke has up his sleeve this time.  

So just when Jason and Sam squashed all the doubt out there about how they feel about each other.  There are so many speculations and rumors flying around out there and I find it hard to believe there is much truth to any of them. One thing we do know is there will be an encore airing of the 12/1/2005 episode airing 10/27 and there is supposed to be a preview that airs at the end of the show we need to pay close attention to.  This has many of us spinning about what this could mean for our super couple. Is a baby on the way? Does Jason develop another terminal illness?  Does this mean Jason and Sam might ACTUALLY get a vacation together?  Is there marriage in the future for our favorite couple?  Or is it all just a rouse put on by Guza trying to mess with our heads.  Honestly I tend to lead towards the rouse theory just because Guza likes to tease in the past.  So, I , for one, am going to try very hard to not read anything into it. 

But my mind has wondered a little on this Friday afternoon so I have conjured up some absolutely theories that have no truth to them what-so-ever but are ideas just the same.
Theory 1:If Sam is in fact pregnant, Jason will flip out.  In true soap opera fashion, Sam will be extremely a high risk pregnancy since she can't get pregnant as far as we know.    Jason will think about leaving her for the baby's sake but realize his life isn't worth living without her.  He will stay through the pregnancy at least because he will be so worried about Sam and the health of their baby he will do absolutely everything to prevent anything from happening to them.
I have a feeling Sam will develop some rare disease during the pregnancy and she and the baby will be at risk of dying if they don't find a cure for this.  The cure will have to do something with her DNA and will have to find her father.  Jason will press Alexis to tell them what can save Sam and baby fair stone cold but she won't because she will be too afraid of what Sam will think of her is she knew who her real father is.  It will be revealed in true soap opera fashion drama, that Sam's father is the Balkan just as Jason is about to kill him.  Sam will be minutes away from dying when they finally save her.  Jason will be so grateful to the Balkan for saving Sam and their child he will not kill him, though he will want to.  Jason will realize he wants a family with Sam more then anything.  So he will do what ever he can to leave the business so they can be safer.

Theory 2: A little like Theory 1 but Sam develops some sever illness (no baby, no pregnancy) and her father will be the key to saving her life. Sam will chose not to fight against the illness but Jason will be the one begging her to fight because his life isn't worth living without her.  Meanwhile the Balkan will come to Port Charles and terrorize the city killing several people in the process: Oldivia, SagHag Suzane, Dante, Ronnie, maybe Lisa and maybe someone else like Maya.  (Disclaimer I like Maya a lot but they had to have someone killed off we actually like otherwise we will just keep cheering the Balkan on).  This  Jason will almost kill Sam's father (aka the Balkan) without knowing it is her father before he is able to save Sam.  Alexis or Carly will rush in revealing that this is Sam's father and can saver him. 

Theory 3: November sweeps will mostly consist of the story line of how the hell does Brenda know Dante and reveal Dante is not a very good guy.  We will find out he is living a separate life and only using Lulu as a front.  He will be exposed for being part of the Balkan's henchmen posing as a cop.  Lulu will go off to Shadybrook and Dante will be killed by Lucky.  Yay!

Okay so some of my theories are off the wall and none of them will come true.  But it sometimes is fun to just let your mind wonder. 
Have a great weekend!  FLOOD the comment lines on how great our couple is and how we hope for a bright future together. 

There is no competition!

Today was a very pretty good Monday episode for General Hospital.  It was a much anticipated episode since on Friday we had three cliff hangers.  First, the Scrubs cliff hanger when I was sure Friday Lisa was going to shoot Robin or Patrick.  Followed by Jason and Sam.  That scene made my eyes water.  Then Brenda and Sonny reunited in his living room both just looking at each other.


Scrubs were sweet underneath it all. Patrick knows he has done wrong but he feels incredibly guilty for all parties involved.  He feels so responsible for all of this trouble he might never forgive himself.  Robin's eyes did sparkle still when Patrick entered her hospital room.  There is so much love between the two of them. Robin didn't have any problem telling Patrick about Stone.  She is being so honest with Patrick which is what she needed to do before they started having trouble.  Patrick stated he didn't know why he broke his vows to Robin but that he loved her.  I have to agree with Robin on this one.  Until he can figure out why he broke those vows to her she can not trust him or be with him. Robin is a very absolute person, everything is black and white to her. She tries to live her life honestly and wants everyone else to be honest to her.  What he did, in her eyes, is unforgivable.  Robin, when not suffering from PPD, can not fathom the concept of infidelity and then staying together because she has seen what it has done to her life growing up.  

Clearly Patrick needs a little help picking friends and staying in touch with old friends from medical school. Let's recap, first there was Ian Devlin who turned out to be clearly a bit off upstairs that shot Michael and wasn't what he seemed.  Then now Lisa, who is by all measures the craziest chick to walk the halls of GH in quite some time.   Honestly if I were Patrick I would stop keeping in touch with all of my friends from medical school.  And that also leads me to ask, is Patrick insane too we just don't know it yet?

Jason and Sam were amazing.  There are no other words to describe it. It hurt Jason so much to asked Sam if she wanted to break up and then hear her say yes. You could see for that brief second of time before she said no, his heart stopped beating. His heart didn't start beating again until she confirmed that of course she loved him.  In Jason's world those were probably the longest few seconds in his life.  He loves Sam so much and when he heard the words he, not only realized he has been neglecting her, but he snapped out of it very quickly. Jason finally said all the right things to show Sam that he loves her and help ease her insecurities about the whole situation.  Jason said it clear and simple "there is no competition".  I hope that other fan-base that has been trying to create so much doubt were listening.  I really did want Sam to move in but I think Sam feels that if she keeps her own place she keeps her own identity and life outside of Jason. Sam loves Jason so much but she is still deep down a little terrified to lose herself in him again like she did in the past.  Keeping her own place helps her stay independent in her eyes.  Jason doesn't see it this way, he just wants Sam with him all the time. The luckiest day for Sam was when they found their way back to one another but the luckiest day for Jason was long before that.  He realized he still loved Sam  long before Mexico.  The chemistry between the two of them is so incredible, I think my favorite part of this segment was when Sam tells Jason she doesn't want them to live together so they aren't always on top of each other.  Jason laughed at the way she phrased it.  Jason never has ever been so happy as he is with Sam and it radiates across his face.  The flirtation tickling was very unrehearsed and perfect for the moment - prefect Stelly Magic alive and well.   Jason and Sam were so grateful to just sit and be with one another.  That is the love we tune in daily to watch. They were without a doubt perfect together today. I did completely mind the interruption since it was Michael.  There was no stretch of the imagination for Michael not to figure out what those two were doing when he knocked on the door. If you listen carefully when Sam tells Michael he didn't interrupt Jason says HA!  But all the same Michael looked so sad, it is good he has Jason to count on.

I am starting to like Chad Duelle as Michael more and more.  Since Chad took over the role he had brought  a level of maturity to the character that was much needed. I am starting to really like him and he isn't as much of a  hot headed kid anymore you want to thump on the forehead to get them to be quiet.  He is actually so tormented you want to rush out and hug him.  Michael's life is a living hell and Chad does an excellent job of portraying that.  Michael does need a girlfriend.  Allie is sweet and clearly likes Michael.  This girl is clearly smitten and I think it is cute how she trips over every word she said to Michael. It is sad that Michael's life has been riddled with violence and tragedy so much he has never been able to experience normal kid things.  Jason's face when Michael begins to talk about his girl problems to him was classic.  You can tell Jason was thinking that girl troubles and first times aren't exactly a comfortable area for him to talk about with.   This has been a very stressful day for Jason.  First, Sam tells him she wants to break up and his whole world went dark for a few moments.  Now Michael wants him to get him a hooker.  Oh boy, it's a good thing Jason has a strong heart and is in excellent health.  Between these two shocks the average person would wonder if they need their vitals checked.  It will be amusing to see how Jason handles this situation tomorrow.

Alexis was great. Oh I do love her tone and trying to slap some sense into Claire.  I especially loved her review of Sonny 101 to Claire. It did make me laugh.  We need more Nancy on screen.  I really hope she gets a story line soon along with Kelly Monaco.  Diane and Alexis were hysterical together.  I really wish we could see those two on the screen more often.  They always do make me laugh. Those two women are so brilliant at what they do. 

This brings us to Friday's final cliffhanger, Brenda and Sonny.  Brenda and Sonny scenes today were sad.  Those two can read each other so well it scares themselves. I like watching Brenda when she is with Sonny for a few reasons.  There is so much history there together it makes my heart ache when I watch them.  I loved those two together in their day, even now the pain is so tangible between the two of them it just hangs in the air of the space they occupy.  Sonny is a drug Brenda can't get enough of and the same for him about her.  But like most drugs, their relationship was too intense and often self destructive. Another reason is because when Brenda is around Sonny she never laughs. 

The only bad part of today's show were Dante and Lulu.  I am so glad they got deported.  Can we deport them off show completely?  One can only dream!

Call the comment lines, thank them for keeping our power couple together!

Will you marry her?

 Leave it to Brenda to finally ask the question we are all wanting to know the answer to Jason.  I know I am one of the first to offer up Brenda's flaws since her return but today I actually really saw a very small shred of the old Brenda that I liked.  She was almost sincere to Sam. Notice I said "almost".  For Brenda to be really sincere she wouldn't be Brenda.  I felt sorry for Sam as she entered and Jason clearly hadn't mentioned anything about her.  To Sam this was a betrayal you could see it in her face. The man she would literally walk through fire for (and has) didn't mention her to his ex-wife who is going to be staying with him.  No wonder Sam felt there was some odd chemistry between Jason and Brenda.   They did bicker like Sam and Jason once did when they first met and you could tell that threw Sam off guard.  With that being said Jason has a side in this too.  To Jason, he was trying to keep Brenda out of his life as much as possible and didn't feel she was on the 'privileged list of people' in his life that get to know about his personal life.   Also Jason probably felt he would only be feeding Sam's insecurities if he did talk about Sam at all because Brenda would bring up questions like she did today.  I think in Jason's mind he wanted to protect Sam from having to talk about any of her past. He respects Sam's privacy and is also very private so he didn't want Brenda butting her nose in where he felt it didn't belong.   Jason didn't want Sam to have to re-live the pain of talking about her daughter at all or anything else about how they fell in love.  Jason was trying to protect her but not doing a very good job.

Oh, poor dear Sam, she couldn't stop babbling which she does when she is uncomfortable and just let it all come out.  I kept saying to myself, stop now she doesn't need to know everything.  Sam apparently mistook Brenda for a person of the cloth and felt now was as good of a time as any for confession.   Honestly,  Brenda handled Sam's flood of information quite gracefully, I thought.  If I had been in Brenda's shoes, I am not sure I would have been able to just sit there and smile while all of this information came blasting at me.  Brenda has a big ego and it was probably a little uncomfortable to hear this beautiful ambition woman tell her in a couple quick sentences how she had been with both men from her past.   Sam wanted to go over there and not like Brenda but she actually did like Brenda.  Who knows maybe they will become friends.  I kind of hope not because Brenda is annoying most of the time and the less screen time she has the better.  But maybe that would help Sam's insecurities.  One of the best part of all the scenes with Brenda today, was she didn't laugh! I think they need to keep it that way.

Jason loves Sam so much, his eyes twinkled when he told Brenda he loved her.  This is huge for Jason and I am not sure everyone realizes how huge. Jason NEVER EVER talks about his personal life to hardly anyone besides Carly and Spinelli.  So for him to tell Brenda, who he can hardly stand to be around very long was huge.  Jason and Brenda do not have a romantic chemistry but they are funny together.  Funny like a brother and sister are funny that is all.  That is the obligation Jason feels towards Brenda too.  More of a sibling then anything else. 

I love Maxie, even though she can be shallow I think she is always funny and often times a true friend.  Always offering her gal pal, Sam,  she would be happy to hate Brenda if she wants her to was a sweet offer on Maxie's part.   While I have not been very excited about Brenda's return thus far,  now that she is in Port Charles she seems to be getting better.  With that being said, if she were to ever have romantic feelings towards Jason and pursue them, Maxie would be the first in line with a pitch fork chasing her out of town. Maxie has come a long way from the pill-steeling, pillow-stuffing girl we saw a few years ago.

While we all knew it was coming, I still twitched a little when Sam came over to Jason's and told him she thought they should break up.  I am hoping Monday Jason will reassure Sam that is the farthest thing from his mind.  I hope when he asks her to move in he is sincere even though I am glad she will turn him down.  I want them to move in together, don't get me wrong.  However, I don't want it to be his solution, or at least attempt, to solve Sam's insecurities.  He needs to put Sam first, he needs to start showing her there is no one else and he needs to stop trying to be everyone's hero.  Sam understands he has other commitments and she understands him and gets his loyalties better then anyone else.  He needs to realize she is the best thing that has ever happened to him and needs to start showing her.  Jason needs to get his head on straight before he loses Sam and this time for good.  I look forward to Monday to see how this all plays out and I hope it is all resolved.  I do hope Jason puts all of Sam's insecurities to rest.  I am confident our super couple will weather this storm.

I also thought Sam looked so beautiful today.  I do wish they would let her character dress in more then black all the time.  

I am so happy Robin is okay and out of the well but how did Patrick get her out?  Did he have an invisible rope to get her out of the well that none of us saw?  Robin's years of being around the mob and various crises  have allowed her to react cool and calm in a situation when needed.  Patrick may not have spotted the gun Lisa was waving around right away but Robin did and was careful not to react.  Monday should be interesting to see how this turns out.  I am looking forward to it.  I loved the crazy Lisa story line and have been watching each day to watch how well those three have played it.

Happy weekend everyone and hopefully Monday's episode will be worth watching!  Keep the faith, call the comment lines!  Thank them for JaSam.
