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!
