Perfectly Balanced Tuesday

2011 is really starting off to be a great year for GH! I am so happy it seems like sometimes the writers listen to us on the comment line and give us perfect harmony of story lines.  Today there wasn't too much of any one character.  It made the show worth watching even with Brenda and Dante on. 

I really did like Siobhan at first but I have fallen out of love with her.  Lucky needs a good, honest woman not another lair.  Siobhan might have her reasons for working for the Balkan but no matter what they are she is still using Lucky for information and I am not okay with that. 

So is GH's solution to all immigration issue marriage?  First Maya and Ethan and now Siobhan and Lucky?  I mean is become a Spencer thing to do?  Are we going to find some green card seeking guy for Lulu next for her to marry?  Of course I'd be all for that if it meant Dante and Lulu were over for good.  Please Lulu seek out someone who needs a green card so you can marry them and drop Dante!  Did anyone notice that all the Spencer children were at Jake's around the same time but did none of them appeared to notice?

Ethan and Maya house hunting was cute.  They really do care about each other but won't let the other one see it.  It's all about the not showing you are falling for your mark which is getting more difficult for these two because they are developing true feelings. 

Sonny and Brenda's wedding planner seems to be more concerned about meeting Murphy St.Clair then anything that will have to do about their wedding.  Perhaps the wedding planner should have an ice sculpture of Murphy in the background so she can ogle over it during the wedding. Feb 18th sucks as a wedding date! This will mean they will overshadow Valentines day.  Well that should be delightful.
I loved Sonny's line about the wedding planner, "Oh good she reads the papers."
Sometimes when I watch Sonny and Brenda I think they can not resurrect the old Brenda and Sonny of days past.  When the romance started up again I saw the potential but I also saw something else not as favorable.  I saw how self-absorbed and annoying Brenda has become and Sonny does have a tendency to drone on and on about his bad choices.   But today when Sonny gave Brenda her rings they writing was pretty good and the potential moment was there again.  They do have the potential to be a great couple if they keep Brenda's selfish ways under control.

Now for today's main attractions, JaSam and Mabby.  Oh my goodness, I watched these scenes over and over and over. I honestly can't get enough of these two couples today. They were just amazing.  I love how these two couples are connected and worry about each other.   Michael wanted more then anything to protect and help Abby.  Abby was so upset he saw her working that she called Sam to help find Michael. Abby and Sam can relate to the calculating controlling side of Carly.  Abby's ex-boyfriend showing up was kind of random and perhaps there will be more information there we will learn later.  But the best part was we learned both Michael and Abby have real feelings for each other.  They don't want to hide that anymore.  Their first kiss was perfect, intense but so much caring behind it.  Well done Chad Duell and Andrea Bogart.

Jason and Sam have come so far.  They are strong and supportive for their friends and family but they get their strength from their loves for one another.  I love that Jason told Carly he doesn't even want to talk about what happened in prison and that the only person he has talked to about is Sam.  This is another beautiful example of how Jason needs Sam.  Jason needs Sam like he needs air to breathe.  Carly is beginning to see that she can't fix this in Michael and as a parent that is a horrible reality to accept. Sam and Jason are doing their best to help Carly see this for Michael's sake.  They really have the potential to be amazing parents.
Jason was concerned Sam was at the hospital and could tell Sam wasn't telling him everything but didn't want to pry. He could tell she was very worried about Michael and Abby.  Now was not the time to tell Jason about the procedure, Sam could see that.  I am not sure Sam wants to talk about it at all yet because talking about it opens up a road she isn't sure she wants to go down. As Jason began to talk about his night with Jake and how Michael was once that age, it began to hurt and you could see that in Sam's face.  She was thinking about the procedure and for a split second she wanted to give Jason another chance to prove he is a good father.  But just as quickly as those thoughts rushed into her head, Jason reminded himself and her why he does not think he deserves to be a father.  Sam will tell Jason eventually because she knows she has to be honest with him but this is huge and she has to wrap her head around it first.
