Snap Back into Reality

I survived a week with no spoilers and it wasn't so hard in someways but hard in others.  As much as I hate those spoilers, I do tend to seek them out.  Much like when you diet then when you fall off the wagon you fall hard and woof down an entire box of cheezits followed by a chocolate cake.  I feel like I have woofed down that box of spoiler cheezits and now am laying on the couch groaning in regret.  I am sad to see that it looks like after this week there are very few spoilers about Jason and Sam for the next few weeks.  We can hope they spend Christmas together and Sam bows out of Project Resurrect Alexis' Love Life take 15.  I just hope we can all make it through those weeks if JaSam are really in fact not on. I guess this only thing we can look forward to that we know for sure is this week.  We have Jason and Sam on everyday (or so the spoilers say). Oh there I go again relying on spoilers.  I've been trying to remind myself spoilers are usually only 1/2 true and are really just out there for entertainment not reality. False spoilers always help me snap back into reality. 

Speaking of snapping back into reality, Jason had a reality check today of an alarming magnitude.   Just the mention of Jerry's name sent Jason's blood pressure on the rise.  Jason could not think straight as soon as our new Port Charles detective team thought of Jerry being involved.  All Jason was thinking about was the danger Jerry's presence will bring to Sam.  Yes, for once he actually remembered his girlfriend first.  He is terrified Jerry will do something to Sam because they all know Jerry likes to torment Sam.  Sam is Jerry's favorite victim but lets not forget Sam has gotten away from Jerry more then once.  Jerry is  twisted and calculated in his every move but I can't wait for Jerry to be back on screen and in Port Charles.  He is just the villain the show has been missing.  I think I also like he likes to go after Sam because that makes Jason go out of his mind.  Even when Jason and Sam weren't even close to being back together Jason was willing to risk his life for Sam when Jerry took her.  Jerry might just be what we all have been waiting for to help our super couple take things to the next level.  We have read the spoilers Jason asks Sam to move in and I have also see that one spoiler that says Sam turns him down again.  But just maybe there is something more to this and there is another renewed promise and commitment.  Maybe Jerry's presence will remind Jason how precious his life with Sam is and he needs to put her first for good this time.

Another dose of reality was the Michael and Abby scenes today but this was a refreshing dose for them both.  Their scenes together were so honest and real that it really sums up exactly why I think we all are falling in love with this match.  Michael has needed someone like Abby who will be honest with him and he can be honest back.  They aren't trying to hide how they feel about each other or how much they are helping each other cope with their past.  Abby is perfect for Michael because she isn't focused on typical teenage drama and neither is he. 

Maxie is doing her best to snap Robin back to reality but that poor girl has her work cut out for her on that quest.  She has really been the words of wisdom for Robin.  Robin needs to try to see past her pain and listen to Maxie because Maxie is right the clock is running out on the window of opportunity here.  I get Robin is hurt and I think she has EVERY right to feel that way but Robin is being a bit narrow minded and selfish too.  She needs to think about her daughter and how she will benefit from her parents being together.  Because that is the reality of the situation.

While I didn't loath Elizabeth today, she really should realize gossip, especially hospital gossip, isn't really a good thing to get into given her past transgressions.  But at least she is being Robin's friend right now.  I am also glad Liz didn't use her time productively at work and found Lisa's confession  while she was surfing sites. 

Oh Olivia, while I am not your biggest fan, sometimes you are have some hilarious lines.  I loved her line when she was sitting in Jax's office "WHOA WHOA WHOA NELLY! Friends go out for a hamburger at Kelly's or perhaps a cold beverage at Jake's."
"I don't think Brenda is having a problem with reality here."
Her sass comes in handy sometimes and thank goodness she has it.  She seems to be the only one able to tell Jax exactly how it will work and he really should have paid attention to her advice.  I loved her message of reality today.

The two clearly farthest from reality today were Sonny and Brenda.  They were reliving old times and while I am a big fan on getting these two back together, I think it is going to be a little hard listening to Brenda laugh again.  I like when she is worried and threatened because she doesn't laugh.  Otherwise I was happy to see the two out on a date.  Carly even handled it better then expected.  Speaking of Carly, I love how she twists reality to manipulate poor Spinelli.  She'll send him off to find out the truth of all the scandal once and for all.  This will chose to be interesting. 

Call the comment lines, let our voices be heard.  Thank them so much for a week of Jason and Sam! We are so lucky!
