This morning most of us woke up to the news that Steve Burton has quit GH after 21 years. The end of an era in so many ways came crashing down on our computer screens before most of us had our second cups of coffee. Stunned we all read the articles, tweets and comments to the story. For most of us Steve has been the icon of GH for so many years we can't even comprehend the thought of a GH without Jason Morgan. But that is our new reality. This year has been a lot about new realities and acceptance and I think this news coming now, almost for some of us, seems like the final nail in the JaSam coffin... so to speak. For the most part, yes, it is the end of JaSam as we know it. We love the Stelly Magic that has electrified our TV screens for all these years. The intensity of Jason's stares at Sam. The amazing acting both Steve Burton and Kelly Monaco have done for so many years flashed before our eyes as we read that article today. With a few deep breaths I realized the end is upon us. But just because it is the end it doesn't mean we should not watch at least how it is ended. We should watch to see how they do Steve's departure. We owe JaSam that much. We have been on this journey for the last 8 years, we should see it through to the end, even if it is a bitter end that we didn't want to come.
I know it has been difficult this year to watch all of the changes occur for JaSam and GH. My enjoyment to watch has wavered much like most, I am sure. I kept hoping against hope, if we just just rode this storm out things would get better, there would be a silver lining to this all. Sam and Jason would have their happy ending. We, as completely loyal and dedicated fans, would also have that happy ending we had hoped for. If GH was to get canceled, we hoped that Jason and Sam and their child would ride off into the sunset together and we would feel complete. We would get our story the way we wanted it.
Well............. I am here to tell you, sometimes in life we don't always get what we want. Life changes plans on us sometimes without warning. Chapters of our life are slammed shut before we feel they are complete. As fans that is what we kind of feel like today, like out book has been slammed shut without getting to read the middle part just with a "The End" right at the point we thought things would be improving. It's a bit sour to accept just yet but accept is what we must do. We have our absolute answer now and now we don't need to hope against hope things will come out differently. The finality of today's news resonated for many of us that our hoped for JaSam happy ending has been cut short. We must accept this now and for me I felt a small weight was lifted. Let me clarify that last statement with more detail. I have mixed feeling for quite some time now about GH. I have been struggling to watch and to be passionate about the show I once loved. I have been struggling to find what I once loved in it as I watched this new regime destroy the greatest show bit by bit. I struggled to find what Grandmother and I used to talk about and share such love for. But now, I feel like I don't have to try to keep digging deeper and deeper to find something that makes me happy about GH anymore. I don't have to keep digging to find some pieces of Grandmother's love for the show anymore either. Grandmother has been gone a long time, and though I still talk to her in my prayers at night, I think this helps me to accept she is really not here anymore. She lives on in my heart and that is where she should live on, not in a TV show we both once loved. I know the Chapter of JaSam is coming to an end and now I can move on without regret. Yes, honestly, once this story wraps up it will probably been the end of GH for me. But I can do it knowing I did my best writing to keep GH alive for many years and I enjoyed every second of Jason and Sam's love story and that is how I would like to end it for me. I would like to end my viewership of 26 years on a happy fulfilled note. I think in some small way today's news gives me the closure I have been searching for. Please don't be angry with me for ending my viewership with Steve's departure. I will continue to blog all the way up until the end of JaSam's era.
We have all watched and loved JaSam so much that sometimes we have forgotten they are fictional characters and the people that play them have their own lives going on in the background. Steve's decision did not come easily to him. But he is doing what he feels is best for his family and his career and you can't discount him for that. Often times in life we have to make decisions that don't make complete sense while we make them but in the end - it is the best thing you did. I have no doubt that Steve will be successful in all of his future endeavors and that hopefully his family is happy and enjoy living in a quiet remote area of TN instead of LA. Raising a family has a lot of challenges and tough decisions and I am sure the didn't make this one on a whim. I too think about moving to a more remote place to raise my kids as well away from the hustle and bustle that seems to influence young minds. So do not be angry at Steve for leaving. He gave us 21 amazing years with those dreamy eyes and longing stares. Steve is doing what is right for him. Do not bash Steve on Twitter or FB or on chats or other messages boards. Please let Steve know you are thankful for the memories! After all, there would have never been a JaSam or a reason to watch GH if it hadn't been for Steve.
On that regard, also don't be angry at Kelly for staying either. They are two different people with different priorities in their real lives. Steve's current priority is his family. Kelly's priority is her career. She is staying on GH because it is her career and we should honor that. She is not leaving. Sam is staying in PC for the next chapter of her life no matter what happens. It is important to remember to show Kelly some love. Support her on DWTS this fall too. Do not be angry with Kelly for what ever direction they take Sam's character. It is her job to take Sam on where TPTB direct her to go. She will do an outstanding job - I have complete faith in her. Kelly is an outstanding actress who will succeed in what ever comes her way.

Jason & Samantha
Greatest Love Story Ever Told

Hold On - This is going to hurt like Hell
And so they ended. And so the day came we all dreaded. I watched because I felt I owed that to JaSam. I cried and now I am trying to accept it. For the last 9 months we have watch since Sam's rape at our couple start to be pulled apart. No one liked the story line, we had all hoped for a re-write that would reunite Jason and Sam before the baby was born. But that didn't happen, we all watched as they uncharacteristically turned to others to talk to instead of each other. We watched as they were torn apart more and more each episode. We all hoped and hoped again but alas in the end our hopes didn't come true. So they are over and now headed for divorce. I guess the worst is upon us and now we must learn to accept it. None of us wanted this to happen ever and especially happen this way. But we can't go back in time and fix it.
I am reminded about something Frodo Baggins once said to Gandalf :
Fordo: "I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: "So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. "
So what are we sad and hurt JaSam fans going to do with the time that is given to us?
-Do we move forward turn off our TV sets and never watch GH again? Well that that is a viable option and right now seems logical. Because once something hurts you why would you go back for more pain, right? Sounds completely rational on some levels. After all, why would we want to watch a show that is no longer entertaining us or making us happy. Why would we want to watch something that only depresses us because they tore apart our perfect couple? But why do that when we fought so hard to save this show? Is that why we rallied last year and wrote letter after letter and called and did all we could to save GH? Was that why we did all this to stop watching entirely less then a year later? Seems like a waste of our efforts if you ask me. Are we really going to give up that quickly?
-Or do we rally once more? Do we show RC and FV that GH is not OLTL and we want our GH back? More importantly, we WANT OUR JASAM BACK!!! Do we write twice as many letters now and make twice as many phone calls (remember to always be positive) to prove to them you don't mess with JaSam fans. We are a large majority of their viewers and we want to see JaSam on our screens. Do we keep the faith because this is has kept us going for this long? There is still a baby out there and Heather's scheme will be figured out soon enough, right (Hopefully)?
So what would you do? Honestly, after watching today's episode again I have some hope for JaSam. Granted, that hope isn't brimming to the top like it was say last year at this time but I still have some hope. I know how ironic that last statement sounds but it is true. Why break up this super couple when clearly they have such a great history? Are they really headed for divorce or will Jason Junior be found soon and they reunite? I am not sure the answer there. Knowing how depressing this year has been I am guess NO. But it is never a bad idea to hope - to hold on to hope. Hope for a miracle and maybe just once it will work out. Today if you take away the sadness here is where I saw hope.
- Jason and Sam mentioned numerous times they still loves each other
- Sam could not bring herself to say the word divorce - Then maybe they should not be getting one
- Sam flip flopped hoping something would work like marriage counseling etc
- Sam never took off her ring and gave it back to Jason- she is still wearing her ring
- Sam told Jason he wasn't just her husband but her best friend.
-That hug was no normal hug
- There was so much passion in that good-bye kiss -they can't be over for good
- The montage wasn't a farewell send off to all JaSam fans (though honestly felt a little like it at first) it was a message to not give up hope. To keep fighting.
To watch it again and see what I am talking out here is today's JaSam clip

Thank you SimplyGH for the clip
So make up your own mind on what you will do next. But for me I will watch when Jason and Sam are on - holding on hope. I will keep fighting and I will keep hopeful. I will keep my chin up, maybe someday things will go our way. I am not setting myself up for disappointment either, though. I am realistic. I realize this new regime has their whole new plan and ideas but for now I am going to hold on. Hold On to the hope that someday there will be happiness again for JaSam and JaSam fans.

I admire the faithful
I admire the faithful fans who are still holding on and watching GH daily. I appreciate your dedication to GH and am grateful to you. Last year at this time we didn't know if GH was going to be on the air much long. We rallied and wrote letters, we called daily we sent emails, we united against the EVIL ABC execs that looked to cancel GH. We stood united and to much of our surprise and excitement, we won 1 more year of GH at least. We did good! So if you were among those who fought congratulate yourself for your efforts. Be thankful to have been part of the front that saved GH for at least 1 more year. Stand proud of that fact if nothing else.
Sadly shortly after we learned GH was spared from the hatchet block we saw our amazing soap that had captivated us for all these years be blown apart and transformed into something we can hardly recognize. So this is what we fought so hard to save? Sure doesn't look the same as it used to. Sure does seem like someone has taken everything we loved and set fire to it. But we saved it none the less. As I said before, be proud of that fact, we saved it. Sometimes when you set up on a journey you don't know what the outcome is going to be but you do it anyway. We didn't know what the future held for GH or our couple, but we set out to save GH and we did.
I am mostly sad when I watch GH now (if I can watch it). I feel a sadness that begins to take over. It not only is a sadness but I am starting to accept that this is reality. RC and FV appear to not be going on anywhere, nor do they appear to be listening to anything fans are saying. They seem hell bent on changing GH so much no one can recognize it.
It is with great sadness and regret I have to say, I am admire the faithful fans but I fear I am not one of them anymore. I am not giving up completely but just taking a break for awhile from the show. If GH gets back to 'normal' again I will return with gusto. I will continue to watch when I can but I just don't have the passion I used to for the show. I will continue to blog when I can as well and when there is something worth blogging about. I want to hold on to rocky part of the ride until it smooths out but I have to be honest to say, it gets harder every day.
But please don't let my negative perspective sway your opinion in anyway. If you are faithful THANK YOU! PLEASE KEEP WATCHING KEEP THE FAITH AND KEEP FIGHTING. Thank you! I will continue to write my daily letters to RC and FV asking for change and will continue to write ABC reminding them GH is legend that needs to be spared. I just can't watch the part where they will destroy JaSam before our eyes. It will hurt too much to watch.

Am I the Only One?
Am I the only one who recently has busied themselves with other actives in the afternoon other then tune into GH? When I was in college several years ago I would try to plan my class and work schedule around GH just so I could watch it everyday. Even now that I have a career and a family and plenty of other things to take my time up, I would still find time to watch GH. Even if it meant watching it on my phone at the gym. I used to look so forward to GH every day. I used to record it on BOTH tivos so I could either watch it upstairs or down stairs depending on what was going on that day. I used to sometimes watch it on the live feed first an hour earlier then it aired here just to see what was happening. Oh my love for GH has been a long time love.
But recently my love has been falling a bit short. It seems like a year ago when JaSam got engaged that GH was really on top. We were all watching and so excited about what would come next. We were in bliss over the engagement. Every board was a flurry of activity, everyone was watching. I think about those days a lot lately.
Honestly it has been several weeks since I have even turned on GH and sat down to watch. RC and FV have really changed our canvass as they had promised to do when they took over but I have to sometimes wonder if that change is for the better? I miss my old GH. The GH that was funny and clever and so addictive. My addiction is clearly subsiding these days.
We do have some amazing memories to hold on to though. I know we have heard spoilers and rumors of even more sadness and wreckage headed Jason and Sam's way. I just hope we all can hold on to watch before we completely lose our need for the addiction we have with GH. I guess in the coming months we just need to hold tight to the memories. Watch those shows in these coming months and remember how good GH was and how amazing our couple is and will be in the future. They have a rough road to go down but I hope they come out stronger on the other side. I am still hopeful. I just hope everyone can hang on for this to play out.
Right now I have to admit my faith fluctuates and my ability to sit through a whole show without either falling asleep or changing the channel is become a true reality these days. But am I the only one? Is anyone loving the writing and plot twists right now? Maybe I am. Maybe I need to look at things different but I just wonder if I am or not.

Horrific Act
My local ABC station did not air GH today because for those of you who don't know, I live in Colorado. Today, GH is probably one of the farthest things from all of our minds. I do not live in Aurora but I do live in the Denver area. Aurora is an eastern suburb. Everyone in this state who flies out of DIA has driven through Aurora. It is a large suburb that, honestly, has not been without its issues of crime and other issues that are in the local news here and there. But overall is it not a violent place. It is not a place you would think would ever have such a horrible crime take place. I know people who live in Aurora, who raise their kids there and shop in the stores. It is just another town, until now. Until the midnight showing of a movie changed that city's history forever.
I have lived in CO for 10 years. I moved here after Columbine but people still talk about it. It is something we all know about. We will never forget it. I don't live in Littleton but every time I think about how that community has never completely healed and probably never will. After I moved here there was a horrible high school hostage crisis near Conifer where one girl was killed and we all remember that too. Every time something like this happens we always ask our self 'WHY?'. It doesn't make sense why someone would do this to so many people. We can't comprehend it. But it makes you realize life is fragile and fleeting. It reminds you to focus on the big picture and be thankful for your loved ones. It reminds you there are crazy people everywhere even in movie theaters and walking the halls of a local high school.
The more I talk to people today in my northwest suburb the more I learn at least someone I know knows someone who either knew a victim or someone who was shot. The number is up to 71 shot and 12 died and out of the 71 shot 16 in critical condition. The numbers are frightening and horrifying . I heard on the local news someone say they didn't live here during Columbine but they remembered the name of the shooters but not the victims. They wanted us to learn the name of the victims and remember them. I encourage you to remember the names of victims not the shooter. Don't give him the 15 minutes of fame he is looking for. Don't glorify his act by giving him attention. Think of the victims and think of their families. Think of those mothers and fathers who won't ever hear from their teenage daughter or those families who went to the movies together and were trapped in the theater. Think of the young, think of the old, think of all the ones in between. I encourage you today to think of those lost and think of how we can prevent something like this happening again.
Today take a break from GH, believe me it has been horrible to watch anyway. GH is not what it used to be so today just take a break from it and all those other things that aren't truly important in the grand scheme of things. Today think of the bigger picture. We look to GH to escape, trust me today I wish there was a way to escape all this horror but we can't. So think and remember and pray for a world where it is safe to go to the movies and go to high school and to walk down the street. Pray for the families, friends and loved ones of these victims and hope for a brighter future.

Can't See The Rest of My Life Without Him
It is a tough couple of weeks to be a JaSam fan lately hasn't it been? We get a little glimmer of hope and then the wind gets knocked out of our sails once again. We really have to dig down deep for that courage and faith to keep on watching and fighting but I encourage you to do so.
I know most of you are selectively watching GH right now and trust me so am I. I could not take the Jizzer kiss yesterday. I had to FF thru it. I wasn't crazy about the McBam kiss though either. But to me it just looked like Calivia all over again. I was really waiting for one of them to sprout fangs and go at each other like they used to. The only chemistry McBam has is old left over vampire lust. Don't get too upset. RC is just screwing with us and also trying to maybe bring a few PC's fan back to GH. That is all. He is not stupid enough (I hope) to really make McBam a real item. I am still not abandoning the connection they feel for each other to be one that they are siblings. Or at least cousins. I mean look back, Ethan and Lulu were kind of hot before they found out they were siblings too and I did love them chemistry. So don't get too caught up in the idea of McBam.
Now for the idea of Jizzer 2.0 - Liz is terrible with relationships. She knows this, everyone knows this. She also can't be "friends" with Jason. She wants Jason that is true. Jason only turns to her when he sees Sam with another man. So what does that make her? Sloppy Seconds? Possibly but Liz has worked very hard to keep her inner husband stealing, whore self under control in the past year. So lets hope she has learned a few things like #1 - Jason only wants her as a stand in. #2 - Jason LOVES Sam no matter how much he tells her it is over. #3 - RC is just trying to get some spikes in ratings from the Jizzer lovers he isn't stupid enough to try to re-invent Jizzer 2.0.
Don't lose faith completely JaSam are not over. Jason and Sam still love each other more then anything. Though a lot has happened here is the truth:
#1 - RC really isn't stupid enough (and if he is Hell hath no furry like pissed off JaSam fans) to break Jason and Sam up for good.
#2 - Sam said it herself, 'I can't see Jason and I getting back together again. But I also can't see the rest of my life without him'. That is a big step today for Sam to admit this. She loves Jason we all know that but she also is starting to take small steps back towards Jason. Even though tomorrow she finds out Jason kissed Liz and might crush her even more. The fact still remains she is starting to take small (okay extremely small but they are still there) steps back towards him.
#3 - Heather is crazy and someone is going to figure her out very soon and that will mean JJ comes back and everything else will change.
#4 JJ is still alive. There is still hope.
Don't give up. I know it is hard! This is a really hard week. But just try to grit your teeth and keep watching and keep speaking out for JaSam. KEEP FIGHTING. CALL, WRITE, EMAIL, FB, Tweet - DON'T GIVE UP! It would be so easy right now to give up. Decide GH isn't worth your time because let's face it RC has done a number to our couple and show. But we have fought so hard for so long to keep GH on the air, do not give up now. Go to the root of the problem. RC is writing all over the board. He enjoys screwing with people and their characters. Let your voice be heard. Be positive and try to make it clear why you love GH. Don't let the current mess of the story lines take away all those years you have faithfully watched. Don't let him destroy your love for the show and your love for JaSam.

But to me it just looked like Calivia all over again. I was really waiting for one of them to sprout fangs and go at each other like they used to. The only chemistry McBam has is old left over vampire lust. Don't get too upset. RC is just screwing with us and also trying to maybe bring a few PC's fan back to GH. That is all. He is not stupid enough (I hope) to really make McBam a real item. I am still not abandoning the connection they feel for each other to be one that they are siblings. Or at least cousins. I mean look back, Ethan and Lulu were kind of hot before they found out they were siblings too and I did love them chemistry. So don't get too caught up in the idea of McBam.
Now for the idea of Jizzer 2.0 - Liz is terrible with relationships. She knows this, everyone knows this. She also can't be "friends" with Jason. She wants Jason that is true. Jason only turns to her when he sees Sam with another man. So what does that make her? Sloppy Seconds? Possibly but Liz has worked very hard to keep her inner husband stealing, whore self under control in the past year. So lets hope she has learned a few things like #1 - Jason only wants her as a stand in. #2 - Jason LOVES Sam no matter how much he tells her it is over. #3 - RC is just trying to get some spikes in ratings from the Jizzer lovers he isn't stupid enough to try to re-invent Jizzer 2.0.
Don't lose faith completely JaSam are not over. Jason and Sam still love each other more then anything. Though a lot has happened here is the truth:
#1 - RC really isn't stupid enough (and if he is Hell hath no furry like pissed off JaSam fans) to break Jason and Sam up for good.
#2 - Sam said it herself, 'I can't see Jason and I getting back together again. But I also can't see the rest of my life without him'. That is a big step today for Sam to admit this. She loves Jason we all know that but she also is starting to take small steps back towards Jason. Even though tomorrow she finds out Jason kissed Liz and might crush her even more. The fact still remains she is starting to take small (okay extremely small but they are still there) steps back towards him.
#3 - Heather is crazy and someone is going to figure her out very soon and that will mean JJ comes back and everything else will change.
#4 JJ is still alive. There is still hope.
Don't give up. I know it is hard! This is a really hard week. But just try to grit your teeth and keep watching and keep speaking out for JaSam. KEEP FIGHTING. CALL, WRITE, EMAIL, FB, Tweet - DON'T GIVE UP! It would be so easy right now to give up. Decide GH isn't worth your time because let's face it RC has done a number to our couple and show. But we have fought so hard for so long to keep GH on the air, do not give up now. Go to the root of the problem. RC is writing all over the board. He enjoys screwing with people and their characters. Let your voice be heard. Be positive and try to make it clear why you love GH. Don't let the current mess of the story lines take away all those years you have faithfully watched. Don't let him destroy your love for the show and your love for JaSam.

Needing a Friend
Lately the characters of GH have been keeping some unusually cast of characters as their friends. Everyone seems to be all of a sudden be-friending people you would not find likely as real life friendships. As RC works to stuff more of his OLTL pets into our GH canvas I am sure we will see more of this. But for now lets just look at this unlikely cast of friends these days.
First we have Michael and Starr. What would Abbey think of this? I kind of miss Abbey Haver some days. She kept Micahel centered. But now Michael is more 'mature' and that is a relief because wow those were rough the last 16 yrs watching that character grow up. Now if you get past the whole way Starr and Michael met, here is what I see: two extremely selfish, self absorbed brats of rich families and think they are entitled to everything. Okay so maybe they would make a good pair of friends considering they appear to be cut from the same cloth.
That brings us to another self centered character - Kristina - why did they bother bringing back her character? I mean Krissy is probably the most spoiled pain in the rear ever to grace GH besides her father and brother of course. But now we have Krissy who has be-friended a TV producer who clearly has her best interests at heart. There is clearly nothing but true friendship going on there - HA! I personally think this whole Krissy storyline is a waist of air time. I liked Lexi as Krissy and I loved how she interacted with the Davis women. This new Krissy is NO LEXI send her back from where she came from.
This bring us to the other weird friendship of Carly and Todd. That just seems too random. Why would Carly be friends with Todd???? If Carly was smart she would keep her distance. Todd should go back to Landview or somewhere else, give Sam back her baby and take that crazy coo coo bird Heather with him.
Now, of course is the Liz and Jason friendship. Liz can't be friends with a man it is not in her DNA. Every man in her history that she has been 'just friends' with somehow ends up father one of her brats. I don't know what it is about her needy personality but she can't seem to keep any man she tries to be friends with out of her bed. Eventually she lures them in manages to poke holes in every condom on the eastern seaboard and bam! 9 months later can't figure out who the father is of her kid. She is just not capable of this and it is clear with Jason. She is so hot for him it is hilarious to watch. She is trying to be 'supportive' of his love for Sam and his problems but all the while she is trying to calculate how she is going to get him back. We all know it. She has put up a good front though. I mean she was nice enough to Jason by listening and telling him to give Sam space. But in the end that chick wants him badly and she is going to convince herself while he talks all about Sam, wears a wedding ring and confesses his love for Sam every minute of every day somehow he is really after her. Poor Liz. Can't they find this poor girl a man that actually wants Liz for Liz and doesn't want her to be their shoulder to cry on or just a stand in for someone else? I feel for Liz and all but I hope RC realizes too that if he screws too much with JaSam he is going to get that show canceled because we will all stop watching.
Please hear me on that point, RC - Please be intelligent about your audience enough to know this, you can put us through a lot of JaSam angst and we will tolerate it but break them up for good and you are going to find you have very few viewers and fans left. Let me be crystal clear on that one.
As for John and Sam's relationship it is clearly just platonic. Sam needs a friend. Sam has never been real good at keeping friends. She was friends with Maxie when Maxie was Maxie but now we have NuMaxie and who the heck would want to talk to that whining sniveling mess. Sam doesn't need a friend like that anymore. Sam needs a friend and that is all John is to Sam, a friend. She needs someone to listen and not judge her, offer suggestions or tell her what a great guy Jason is right now. She needs someone to just listen. She just lost her child and she thinks it is Jason's fault. Her sole mate just ripped her heart out and stomped on it. So, yes, she needs a friend that has no connection to Jason. Since partially every female in PC that she isn't related to has either slept with Jason or is related to him, naturally she needs a friend from the outside of town. I know we have a McBAM kiss coming up but just remember to take that news with a grain of salt. Not all spoilers turn out to be as clear as they are written once on screen. KEEP THE FAITH! I for one think it will be a mistake and misunderstanding and quickly dismissed. DON'T READ TOO MUCH INTO THE BS, KEEP THE FAITH!!!
Write and keep the faith to GH. Let RC know your love for GH and your love for JASAM! Don't lose your head now! Keep calm and keep focused. Jason and Sam are sole mates. They belong together and it is not 2007 all over again.
