Today there was something in the air in Port Charles. It was the hope of a new future. It was attention to past history and just overall class that made today's show so good. I am so hopeful for the future of GH watching the show this week.
Oh those crazy Quatermines so glad to see them on screen. Today was a great day to see the classic yet priceless Quartmaines in action. Oh how I have missed them. We rarely get to see Tracy interact with her family at ELQ and at work. She is usually chasing Luke down at her other place of business. But not today. I. Tracy is protective of her family business. She has always wanted to run ELQ but her father has always decided that a man should run the business. Tracy should run ELQ because she is money wise and sharp and basically has been running it for a long time. But Tracy isn't perfect and can't see her golden boy Asher is working for Anthony Z. Anthony is extremely crafty and only appears crazy. Hopefully Tracy will be wise to this soon or Michael at least. One of these Quartermaines have to see this before it is too late.
Today it was excited because Monica showed up at ELQ. It was great to see Monica back on screen. She and Tracy deep down love each other. I love watching them on screen together. Who can ask for more classy actresses then Leslie Charleson and Jane Elliot. I truly loved their scenes today. I think it was good Tracy was the one to tell Monica about Jake. It felt right that Tracy would be the only one that felt Monica should know. Everyone else decided she shouldn't know but at least Tracy had enough respect for Monica to tell her. Poor Monica never got to know her grandson. Maybe this will lead to some really good Jason and Monica scenes. Monica does need to be more involved in her son's life. Maybe now they will both accept each other more and Monica will be able to be a part of Jason and Sam's child's life in the future. Sam would never want to cut Monica out like Liz did. Sam has always respected Monica even after she mowed her down in the street.
Maxie could have had better timing today. Jason and Sam getting interrupted is classic JaSam and classic GH. Maxie could not have interrupted Jason and Sam at a worst moment in Jason's eyes. He wanted so badly to propose to Sam right there on the couch to prove to her how much he loved her then to rush her upstairs to prove in another way. But poor Jason didn't get to do that either. Nope, he is going to have to put a lot more thought into this marriage and proposal adventure then he first realized. The first two proposals were more impulsive but this one has to be incredibly thought out because Sam isn't so up on the idea of marriage even if it is to the love of her life, Jason. They have been down this road of engagement before twice and she is still haunted of all the painful memories and broken promises. She isn't about to risk what they have right now to go down that road again without a lot of assurances.
But Maxie did interrupt Jason and Sam's moment but she did have a good reason. Crazy Jackel PI was going after a much crazier Anthony Z. While Maxie thinks Jackel PI is crazy but she does seem to enjoy some aspects of this new personality but will only admit to Jason and Sam. Jason and Sam were a little concerned about the description she provided about the budge in his pocket -both of them were about to scream TMI and cover their ears when she finally spit out it was a gun and Jackel's real plan. I think the longer Jackel PI is around (please Soap Gods don't let it be much longer because he is annoying), Maxie is going to fall more and more for Spinelli again. While the Jackel PI is annoying, his face off with Anthony today made for some amusing scenes. Anthony was so entertained by Jackel PI which is why he isn't sleeping with the fishes right now. Anthony did summarize how most of us feel about this Jackel PI story line: "Frankly Spinelli I don't give a damn!"
While Jason did get through to Sam today and she started to want the same thing he wants but won't admit it to Jason at least yet. Sam admitted it to Maxie why she is so afraid of marriage. I love scenes that show the friendship of Maxie and Sam. Another classic moment for GH to show the years of friendship between these two characters. I think Sam's talk with Maxie only made her realize that she really does want to marry Jason. This is what she wants. She was almost even hoping, as you could see in her eyes, that they would pick up their conversation where they were interrupted but Jason was too afraid this time. Jason knows he only gets one last shot at this marriage proposal idea with Sam. He has to do it right so it can't be spur of the moment. He knows it has to be planned and magical to win over Sam's humongous doubts of the formality of marriage. I think if Jason would have brought up marriage again right then with Sam she might have said yes but she might also said no. Jason didn't want to risk that. Though she looked so sad when she went back to the office you could tell she wanted him to ask her. Just when Sam has abandoned all hope that Jason was serious about wanting to get married or ask her to marry him, Jason told Maxie the greatest thing we have heard all day.
Jason to Maxie: "Maxie, you can stop trying to convince me. I am going to propose to Sam. Just don't know when and I have to make sure I am going to do it the right way."
Oh my goodness - even though I knew this was coming based on the promo I jumped out of my seat let out a squeal like my 3 yr old and have not stopped smiling since. Classic JaSam! Jason wants to marry Sam like he always has wanted to. He has never stopped wanting her to be his wife. He has always pushed to make sure she knows how much he loves her and wants her in his life. He is showing us once again ever since they met in 2003 at the PCPD his life has never been the same. She is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to him and he will not forget it or let it go unnoticed.
GH has been so great lately I can't stop watching. I watch the episodes over and over on my DVR and if I have a chance I watch it on abc.com to help ratings and then after that I watch it on YT. The whole show is good lately...well except DuDu story line but I just ignore them because the rest is amazing!
Call the comment lines, go to abc.com and give them feedback on how amazing GH is right now. Tell them we are so happy that GH is moving in the direction it is right now and we will not stop watching. We want GH to remain on TV forever!
The last two days have been amazing for Jason and Sam fans. Over 11 minutes each day of air time! It has been amazing and I hope ratings are spiking right now. GW will see JaSam are the reason we all watch.
Great blogpost!
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing Monica back! *wootwoot* And I loved her scenes with Tracy. These two actresses are so amazing and I'm happy to see them get some airtime. Monica's reaction to Jake being her grandson and knowing that he was gone and that she can never have a relationship with him was heartbreaking. So sad!
Even though I don´t like Michael one bit these days I´m so glad that we get to see ELQ. When was the last time we did that? And although I think Edward is being ridiculous when it comes to the aspect of Michael being his last shot of an heir, I do like to see John Ingle in action and that with Jane Elliott. :)
Love that we get to see Sam and Maxie talk, because I´ve always loved their friendship and we´ve seen to little of it over the years.
Sam looked so sad when Jason didn´t continue the marriage talk when he got home and then afterwards in the office when she said that if Jason was to propose he thought better of it by now she looked even more sad. Awww! She´s gonna be thrown when he proposes on that rooftop.
Maxie's face looked so funny when Jason told her that she didn´t need to convince him to propose to Sam cause he was already going to do it, he just doesn´t know when and he wants to make it special for her. He knows he wants to marry his girl and make her his forever and ever.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE is all I can say! :)
