True to Form

Today was a classic example of everyone being very true to their character to the most frustrating level for some.
The constant disappointment of the lack of long Jason/Sam scenes is taking it's toll on us and our patience.  But lets look at the finer points of today's show because focusing on the constant disappointment only makes us more angry and frustrated.  We will feed off of it and not accomplish any productive with our TV viewing.  Lets face it we all watch GH to escape into a world where beautiful people are the norm and their problems are far more entertaining then ours.  Today was another classic case of falling victim to spoilers.  When we will ever learn? It seems like every time we read spoilers on some sites that say 'Jason and Sam make love' or something to that effect we actually think they are true.  I warn you now, if there is ever a spoiler that says 'Jason and Sam have a love scene' rest assure it is probably false.  The actors have publicly stated they do not do love scenes together.  Do not expect that to change any time soon.  Also remember spoilers are not true over half of the time.  Don't fall victim to them. I offer everyone a challenge.  Try to go just one week without reading spoilers.  I promise you the show will be less of a disappointment if you accept this challenge.

I actually loved Sam and Jason scenes today contrary to everyone.  I had a huge advantage because I didn't get to see the show live so I had read the tweets and comments before I watched which helped me look at the show from an entirely (slightly deflated) different view.  The reason I loved it is it spoke volumes to how far our couple has come. In their first scene Jason knew he needed to apologize to Sam and she was none to thrilled to see him which is good that he knows he needs to be true to her. I loved her line "What is there something wrong?" when she answered the door.  Jason went to her because he knew he had screwed up and hurt her.  He doesn't like guarding Brenda but he is obligated to do it (or so he feels he is) and he hates what it is doing to his relationship with Sam. They both hate the walls this is putting up between them and instead of doing what they did 3 years ago of pulling back from one another, this time they are communicating about it.  They have come a long way of being afraid to hurt each other so much they stopped communicating.  Sam did something I am not sure I could have done. She show such maturity to this situation she accepted Jason and all that comes along with him. That took incredible strength on her part to accept Jason and all of his baggage (Carly, Sonny and even Brenda).  Sam really is absolutely incredible and it is hard to see why Jason deserves her at times. Sam meant what she said when she told Jason back on July 29th this year "I want you Jason. However I can get you."  Jason sees how wonderful Sam is everyday but sometimes she even amazes him with her patience and understanding.   Sam is all that is keeping Jason from absolutely losing his mind he needs her more now then ever.  He counts on her more then ever.  Jason has never delivered on about 78,890 promises he has made to Sam but she still loves him.  She accepts him for all of his flaws and all.  That is the most amazing beautiful love I have ever seen.  Most of us would get fed up in these minor details and yes Brenda is a minor detail contrary to what other fan-bases want everyone to think.  We would walk away from Jason if we were Sam because lets face it she does deserve to be treated much better.  But she loves him so much  and accepts him just the way he is which is why she stays. She meant what she said long ago, she will never ask Jason to change for her. She has to honor that promise she made to him long ago and accept even Brenda and all the insanity that is going on right now. While we the fans wish Jason would change and wake up that isn't who he is and it would go against everything Sam loves about him to change.  So as frustrating as General Hospital can be lately we have to remember Sam and Jason are being true to their characters and that is all we have ever asked. 


Speaking of being true to character, I love Carly and I love how much she hates Brenda because I kind of hate Brenda too.  I love how Carly busts Dante's chops and then barges into the penthouse to bust Brenda's little image.  All I have to say is Carly take her down, please and do it fast!  I love Carly I really do!  Brenda needs someone to take her down and Carly you are just the girl to do it.  Laura Wright plays this part so incredibly well.  Brenda's line to Jason I found comical "That girl deeply wants to hurt me for some unknown reason!" Really Botox does it take that much to remember all the CRAP you put Carly through for all those years.  Perhaps all those botox injections are going to your brain! Hell yeah she wants to hurt you crazy Brenda and more power to her I say.  I want Carly to take Dante and Brenda down and relish in every minute of it.  Dante did the worst thing to Carly by getting Michael put in prison where he will never forget the hell.  Let's not forget dear sweet Brenda caused countless issues for Carly and Sonny's numerous marriages.  Brenda, really is your memory really that short?  You have wronged Carly more then once so no wonder she wants to hurt you.  Carly is a force to be reckoned with on a good day but Brenda is just the disaster Carly has been waiting for. 

Lucky and Siobhan were cute and I loved Johnathan Jackson's song at the end.  Siobhan made one major mistake today calling Jason Brenda's boyfriend at least Lucky quickly squashed that though.

Luke and Tracy were of course one of the only reasons to keep watching today. True to Luke's character he can't wait until he gets his hands on Tracy's money.  It's entertaining to watch these two do their little dance everyday.  Speaking of  doing a little dance, Ethan and Maya are clearly enjoying to take things to the next level.  I am just loving the Vegas comedy especially because it seems they have not been infected with the Brenda/Dante virus that everyone else has. 


Scrubs were true to character as well today.  Lisa was her crazy but calculating self even at Jakes.  Patrick was true to his character of being truly sorry for every cheating.  I melted when Patrick told Robin,  "You are my hero, Robin.  You are the only woman I love. I adore you."  Oh Patrick if you could only figure out why you cheated in the first place this whole situation would be over.  Robin is so incredibly set in her ways which again is so true to character.  She might never give in on freezing out of Patrick.  But I still have hope for them.  Maxie is so mature and wise it surprises me sometimes. She recognized that Matt was the word of wisdom today and called him on it.  However, if Maxie can find a way to take Lisa down for good I think it would be most entertaining.  Scheming is Maxie's middle name.  They should have thought about pulling Maxie in long ago to get Lisa caught in the act.

While I may have lost a few followers today with saying the JaSam scenes were good today, I invite you to comment and let me know how you feel.

Please call the comment line, they need to hear us.  Let our voices be heard that we would appreciate  a lot less Brenda and a lot more Jason and Sam scenes.  Honestly, I wonder if anyone listens to the comment line but I still call.  I am committed to the cause and please join me in our fight for our super couple.  Call twice a day and thank them for keeping Jason and Sam together and ask for more air time for them. Make it clear that Jason and Sam are the reason we watch. 

Something to keep in mind over the next month, Kelly Monaco commented during her PA last weekend that she has not worked much at all lately.  So do not expect to see Sam much at all until mid-December.  She also said something big is coming up for Jason and Sam and it does not involve Brenda.  So just try to be patient and keep telling them we want more JaSam!
