I'm Not Leaving You

Christmas has come early for us JaSam fans!  Yesterday was classic JaSam that was amazing! Reminded us all why we love this couple.  While I have seen that episode more then a dozen time I was still sucked in like it was the first time.  Then today we got 9 full minutes of Jason and Sam.  It was the first time in ages we have seen those two on our screen so much.  Also NO BRENDA!  While we had to tolerate a little Dante he wasn't the dominate story today.  Today was a great way to start sweeps! All the first string actors we on our screen today. 

I just loved how Jason and Sam interacted today.  The opening scene of the two of them at the Pent House was so sweet.  You can tell Sam likes Brenda enough not to hate her but sees that she is beyond high maintenance and I don't think Sam appreciates how Brenda treats Jason. You could see Jason just wanted to kiss Sam instead of deal with all of this crap. Brenda is the classic drama queen as so clearly illustrated today. I loved Sam's suggestion to lock Brenda in her room.  Can we leave her there forever and throw away the key, please? She could have made this whole situation disappear ages ago but she has to keep the stupid secrete of banging Dante and covering up some murder and who knows what else (and who cares about what else) if it means she goes on and on.   Sam and Jason's special moment was disrupted by Saghag, who seriously needs to wear something more age appropriate.  Saghag had to throw cold water on the specially crafted plan that Jason and Sam have been working on. While I am not Saghag's biggest fan, I liked how she asked "is this some kind of code" when Spinelli was rambling on about Brenda and her yoga.  I have a suspicion that Saghag Suzanne is actually working with the Balkan.  She is just too self righteous and pushy to be legitimate.  Maybe we can hope that if Saghag and the Balkan are working together they can take Spinelli in her place.  I miss Spinelli and Maxie together. She gave him purpose and Maxie is always entertaining.  I am so extremely tired of him drooling all over the penthouse like a lost puppy dog.  They really need to do something else with his character before the whole city of Port Charles is ready to gift wrap him and ship him to the Balkan. 

The best part of today's show was the time Jason and Sam spent time ALONE together at the warehouse.  It was incredibly sweet and so true to Sam character that her primary concern is not the fact that she is risking her life in this situation but that Jason could be potentially walking into a trap that could get him arrested.  Sam and Jason most precious gift to one another is just time together.  As they walked through possible escape routes for Sam to follow their playfulness was the magic we tune into this show for.  Jason's primary concern is that Sam gets out of there safe.  The best line of the day was by Jason to Sam "I'm not leaving you".  Jason's simple declaration spoke volumes to Sam and to their commitment to one another.  Sam is the perfect woman for Jason.  She is strong, resilient and confident and is the perfect match for Jason in every way.  He knows this and is smart enough to realize this go around he would never do anything risk this.  Much like the intro to yesterday's encore episode said, "it took a long time for Jason and Sam  to get it right" which is true but Jason and Sam both are so grateful.

On another note, I am loving Michael and Abby.  They are so sweet and refreshing together.  Finally someone Michael can open up to.  Sam knew what she was doing when she introduced these two.  I like the fact Sam and Abby are friends.  It shows Sam is an excellent judge of character.

While I don't usually enjoy Claire's scenes, I did enjoy her scenes with Alexis today.  It was so good to see Alexis on screen and she looked stunning.  Clearly this time away from GH is doing Nancy Lee Grann well.  She looked amazing!

Please call the comment lines and thank them for two absolutely amazing days.  We have been very fortunate and we need to thank them this great gift!
