The Fall Out

It was quite a busy Monday today on GH.  Today Maxie lost her mind in Port Charles, Connie bubbled to the surface and Sonny actually didn't realize that chick is crazier then he'll ever hope to be, Carly did something unforgivable and Anna learned of Patrick's affair.

Maxie spewed through the church confessing to one crime after another none of which she committed but I think she lost her freaking mind.   I really wasn't feeling the scenes but all the same, Maxie is going to have quite the extended stay at Shady Brook at the rate she is going.

Anna learned as a result of Maxie's breakdown, that her favorite and only son-in-law was not perfect.  Had Anna learned about Patrick's affair and Robin still be alive would be one thing.  But on the day of her daughter's funeral is an entirely different thing.  The shock of this news was so upsetting for her because she wasn't there for Robin too much but thought Patrick was perfect....reality flash Anna - no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes.  Anna, who dealt with her own husband who cheated on her should know this.  But Anna is a black and white person so to find out Patrick cheated was most upsetting for her.  Then he had to tell her about Lisa and her actions.

 Johnny is such an amazing character sometimes.  No one can tell it like it is like Johnny sometimes.  Carly's intentions seemed sincere at first when she told Jason but once Carly arrived at Johnny's her true colors and intentions came out.  Carly used this news about Robin to try to cause a problem  between Jason and Sam.  What an unbelievable, manipulative, callas, cold hearted evil witch.  Carly confessed this to Johnny.  Why does everyone feel the need to confess things to Johnny I don't know but I love how Johnny likes to slap them with a dose of reality.  He even saw (hardly knowing Sam) that her intentions were not controlling or malicious, but were because Jason wasn't in the medical condition to handle anything let alone finding out his first love died trying to save him.   Johnny was able to point out to Carly that SHE is the one who has a problem with all the other women in Jason's life NOT Sam.  I am so GLAD Johnny was able to say what we all have wanted  o say to Carly. 

So Carly dropped the bomb on Jason and he was so angry.  Jason just found out his first love is dead and that Sam kept it from him to keep him safe.  Naturally Jason was angry and felt betrayed that Sam didn't tell him.  Sam knew that was the risk of keeping the truth from Jason she even admitted it to Carly.  So Carly used that to make the situation 10000 times worse then it could have been.  Jason said he wasn't angry that Sam lied about it the night of the explosion but what he was most angry about was that she kept lying.  Okay Jason lets play a game of put yourself in her shoes.  Jason would have done ANYTHING to keep Sam safe when she was shot even lying to her and telling her he could not love her anymore because it meant she could die.  He thought by hurting her so badly she could not think straight that it was okay because at least she was alive.  Jason also lied to Sam when he began to get headaches a few years back to not worry her and he ended up breaking her heart then too.  Jason didn't tell Sam about his current medical condition until Sam basically had to pry it out of him because he didn't want to worry her or cause her anymore stress since she has had to deal with so much.  EVEN NOW - Jason didn't tell Sam ANYTHING about him asking Spinelli to look into the baby video more because he didn't want Sam to worry .  Stress wasn't good for the baby.....Well gee Jason,  what do you think the stress of watching you nearly die AGAIN for the 18th time then having to keep Robin's death a secrete out of fear it might kill you being doing to Sam right now?  I get Jason just lost Robin and she was an extremely important person in Jason's life.  He is in shock and today when he said maybe Carly knew him better then Sam was just the grief talking and a way to hurt Sam because he wants someone else to hurt right now like he hurts.  But really, Jason, you need to realize Sam in not the enemy here nor is she the reason Robin died.  The reason Robin is dead Jason, is because she thought your life was worth saving because she was a noble and caring doctor.  Jason will come around soon and realize Sam didn't do this to hurt Jason.  She told him why she did it.  She was honest with him at the church.  She was desperate to keep him  alive and she didn't want Robin's sacrifice to be in vein.  Sam respected Robin and was Patrick's friend, why on earth would she wish for this to happen?

I don't know if tomorrow's show will be a continuation of today's show or not, but if it is I hope Sam turns and walks out of the church.  I hope she just leaves Jason to deal with his grief and let him realize what a freaking incredible self-centered jerk he is being.  But Sam will want to make it right, she'll want Jason to understand why she did what she did.  That will only escalate things and Jason will walk out of the church leaving Sam there to cry and feel like the worse person ever. He'll go to the bridge where he will run into Liz and they will talk about Jake and Robin. They will talk about both deaths NOT their relationship and if anything I bet Liz will actually defend Sam's actions to Jason and remind him Carly is always out to prove a point and cause trouble.   Sam will stay at the church beating herself up for being such a terrible person begging God to let Jason forgive her, queue John McBain (aka Caleb).  They will have some weird connections (aka their past lives desire to turn all of PC's into vampires) and hopefully Jason will get jealous.  Hopefully Jason will realize that Sam is a beautiful, amazing person who chose to spend her life with Jason because she loves him more then anything but that every guy in town would give anything to be with her.  She chose to be with Jason, he should feel HONORED.  Hopefully John can help remind Jason what he has.  Sam will feel the need to explain herself yet again which, BTW,  she should not have to apologize for ANY of her actions here.  Sam was raped on her honeymoon but instead of throwing that in Jason's face that he could not save her, she tried to deal with it all on her own, then right in the mists of dealing with that she finds out she is pregnant and the paternity is in question, then she finds out Jason only to find out right about the same time that Jason is having serious issues with his brain again.  She has shouldered all of this stress without batting an eye because she loves Jason and would go through it all if it meant she got to be with Jason.  AND NOW he wants to be a jerk because she was trying to protect him?!?! Oh Jason, you have so much to learn about love.

The Truth Always Comes Out

Sam would die to protect Jason.  Sam would give her life for Jason in a heart beat.  She would not even think twice about it.  So why wouldn't she hold the truth about Robin far from Jason before she is ABSOLUTELY sure Jason can handle it.  Sam is running around frantic trying to protect Jason by baring Carly and everyone from saying a thing.  She'll do anything to protect him even if it means doing something that might make him resent her for life.  But he has to understand (and he will in time) that she was only trying to protect him and keep him safe.  Sam is being very true to her character right now because she would walk thru fire for Jason.  Sam would easily give her own life just to keep him safe. Jason will see that eventually.

In the meantime, he is going to get so mad and angry with her.  Sam is doing something Jason has done for her in the past.  She was angry when he made decisions for her too.  However, the difference here is Sam was told any stress would kill Jason and this terrified her to the core.  Jason will lash out at Sam and I fear he will unload on her but this will be the grief talking.  In time Sam will also know this is just the grief talking. 

Carly is no doubt the worst person tell Jason about Robin.  But after reading twitter I was afraid I would only want to scream after watching.  However, Carly wasn't as awful as I thought she could be.  Yes, she whined and whined how she was banned etc.  AND she did tell Jason Sam has been lying to him for days.   But at least the truth is out now.  Jason knows.  I do hate Carly sometimes.  She didn't even bother to check on Jason's condition before she dropped the bomb knowing it was the type of news that could kill him. But that is Carly! So true to her character she decided to jump in there and tell Jason.  But the truth is out. 

Now that the truth is out, it will need to be dealt with.  But it is out just the same.  I always hear that saying 'the truth will set up free'.  Free isn't exactly the term I would use here.  But the truth will come out eventually and when it does life can move on.  Life can move forward, forward for good or forward for the worst but it will move forward.  So at least the storyline will move forward and this is what we want.  Things to move forward.  

Life will move forward for everyone ...well except for Robin.  Robin is gone.  Her funeral was heart breaking and all of the flashbacks were so beautiful and amazing.  So much classic footage of an amazing 30 years with Robin.  A true tribute to Robin and it was wonderful and so sad to watch.  But the funeral also gave everyone closure so that lives can begin to move forward.  When someone dies young it makes us all angry and the story lines surrounding Robin's life will most likely touch on this.  But hopefully it will also touch on the fact sometimes death makes you realize how to live life to the fullest.  How to be grateful for it all and to see the beauty in getting to live everyday.  I hope Jason also realized and eventually gets to this point too and is grateful he and Sam are having a child and everyday with Sam is a gift. 

Keep watching!
