Who's Pulling the Strings?

Oh those crazy Spencers are always good for some entertainment aren't they.  Ethan, Luke, Alexis and Carly really should take this routine on the road.  I was actually hoping we would see how things really played out in Jax's hotel room but sadly we only can imagine.  Alexis being the only attorney in Port Charles lately was quick to resolve the situation with comedy and grace.  Alexis really did prove to playing puppet master with all those crazy Spencers antics. 

Brenda loves pulling everyone's strings.  She feels that everyone should bow down to her. Did Brenda even think to ask how Sam was doing since Sonny told her that Theo substituted Sam in her place?  Did she even think to ask how Sam was?  Brenda is really the most self centered person on earth.  It is perfect that she and Sonny are together.  Those two are incredibly selfish people.  But the thought of them out of town and going far far away (off screen) for a very long time does sound appealing.

Apparently something is pulling Dante's strings but not sure exactly what? Dante and Lulu really need to work on their issues.  Dante asking Lulu's permission to go wish Brenda well was pathetic.  What is she now his mommy?   He goes from not telling her MAJOR things to now telling her every detail of everything he is doing.  There has to be a happy medium here because they are going to go from the most boring couple in all of Port Charles to the most boring and most pathetic pretty quickly.  Oh will Dante stop dragging Lulu down.  Lulu used to be good until you hit town. 

Just when I was sure I hated Lulu she reminded me why occasionally I LOVE her. Finally she pulled some strings that tickled all of us.  I about choked on my afternoon pop tart when I heard her tell Liz, "I am sorry. Who are you to accuse Lucky of anything?  Were you thinking of Cam and Jake when you were screwing his brother every chance you got?"  OH WOW! Lulu, your stock is soaring now.  I wish the writers would see how much we love Lulu when she puts people in their place like self-righteous Lizzy Webber.  Oh Lizzy, you want to be pulling every man's "strings" around town, but men in Port Charles have wised up to her games. 

Jason was very angry with Johnny on his involvement with the Balkan. I was wondering if Jason was going to be smoothing over Johnny's unmarked grave somewhere before the middle of the day.  But alas Johnny must have done something to change Jason's mind as he appeared at his place ready to send Robin and Lisa off on their scavenger hunt.  Johnny really does take too much delight into his little game.  I loved the clues Johnny left all over town.  Carly was awesome to Robin.  Robin was an absolute freaking witch to Carly during Brenda's take over of Port Charles.  Carly has every right to throw Robin out on her judgmental childish backside.  Right now Johnny is the master of all puppet masters.  He clearly is pulling all the strings for Lisa and Robin and having great delight in it.

For Sam and Jason, Theo is still pulling their strings.  They are both in a race to to get information to find Theo but both for different reasons.  Jason wants to make Theo pay for nearly killing Sam. Jason knows that his life choices are partly to blame for what happened to Sam.  He wants revenge because he thinks if he does that will help ease his feelings of guilt and regret for choosing this life style.  Jason realizes Sam has given up so much to be with him (even though she has stated she chose this life with him and didn't give up anything) and he wants nothing else to happen to her.  For Sam, she is worried about how this is all effecting Jason.  She does not blame Jason for Theo using her as a target or anything else that has ever happened to her since she has been with Jason.  She is more concerned that this obsession Jason has developed with making Theo pay will impact Jason.  She loves Jason so much and would do anything for him.  Sam's solution is to help Jason find Theo before he becomes so obsessed with finding Theo he will ruin all peace agreements with every other organized crime families in the whole eastern seaboard.  She's so concerned and self sacrificing that she is trying to ignore the warning signs that she might not be completely recovered from the car explosion.


Call the comment line! Tell them how great GH is always!

By the way, I know a lot of sites and fans are judging Jason pretty harshly right now so I feel like I need to defend him.  Now, remember, I am a Sam fan first.  I always side with Sam because I think she is usually right and usually justified with anything she does.  Some Jizzers and even JaSam fans feel like Jason is the master of empty promises and a dead beat dad but I am here to defend Jason.  First off, Jason is not the master of empty promises.  Jason does not make empty promises on purpose and Sam knows he tries to keep his promises. He has followed through on the major promises like he promised her he would come back to her when he got out of prison. He promised to never stop loving her and he has kept that promise. He has promised Carly long ago to do what ever he could to protect Michael and he has done everything humanly possible to keep that kid safe.  Even when Michael went to prison Jason got himself sent there.  Sam understands Jason's life is always surrounded by drama and she knows he feels responsible for a lot of people so she accepts the fact sometimes he can't deliver on some promises.   But that is who Jason is and Sam accepts that about him and loves him for it anyway. So for Jason to drop everything for Sam and just devote himself to her 100% of the time would go against his character and she would also feel like he wasn't being true to himself. 
Now for the deadbeat dad Jizzer crap going around out there.  Jason misses his kid everyday but gave up Jake because Lizzy convinced him that is what he had to do.  Liz was pulling some strings back then and convinced Jason he was a bad person.  She is to blame for Jason not being present in his child's life.  He is trying to respect her wishes by staying out of his life.  He gave up Jake to keep him safe.  Of course, what Jason didn't know is that this poor kid would have been exposed to an absolutely insane mother with very questionable morals.  Jason can not win in this situation.  He is far from a dead beat dad.
