Heart Breaking

There really aren't many other words that I can use other then the last two days on GH have just been devastating and heart breaking.  The two major story lines going on right now are both focused on children and intertwine.  As devastating as these story lines are, the cast really did amazing performances through out. 
This type of acting will definitely put GH in the running for outstanding lead actor and actress performances in the emmy's.  The story lines make me so sad I am sick but the way the actors portrayed the story lines were amazing.

When Jason came to tell Lucky I was so sad I had to turn it off and walk away for awhile.  I had to remind myself this is just a TV show and that my kids that are close to Jake and Aiden's age are sleeping peacefully in their beds for nap time.  I think all the parents that watched today's show will probably hug their little ones a little tighter today.   It was truly heart breaking watching today's show.  I almost didn't even want to write about it because it made me so sad.  

Today was a tough day but for once there wasn't everyone's focus on Sonny, Brenda or even Michael.  In that sense it was a nice relief.  There was no listening to Brenda become even more self absorbed or someone worried about Michael and the mob once again.  For once GH focused on two kids that generally don't get a lot of focus. 

Besides Josselyn's extremely dramatic entrance into this world, she has been mostly in the background being a baby.  She's too cute for words and I think the reason this story line hit hardest first for most of us was we saw that poor little bitty child crying in pain and sleeping in her crib.  That broke all of our hearts.  To hear she had a very rare form of cancer was even more heart breaking.  Carly's reaction was a solid strong mother's reaction.  She was upset but much like Carly she instantly starting of thinking of options.  She's resourceful even in a crisis.  I love how well Laura Wright portrayed these scenes.   

Of course  the other story line was focused on Jake, who for the most part is rarely on screen.  While Jake has often been lumped into his mother's classification of "the boys", we rarely got to actually see Jake.  His mother worked hard at used those "boys" as tools in manipulation of their fathers other the years but today we really saw how much she loved him.  Jake is such a loaded topic for so many people but that doesn't mean he wasn't an adorable, energetic child who was loved so much by all 3 of his parents.   

Jason's pain was so visible for once, which I think made it even more tragic.  Jason and Sam never said a word to one another today but they spoke volumes to one another.  No one on this earth knows what Jason needs like Sam does.  She knows when to push and when to back off.  Today she knew she needed to just back off.  I know some felt Sam should have stayed at the hospital to be with Jason no matter what but I actually really admired how she wanted to give Elizabeth her space.  Not many would have been so perceptive as to stand back and just give the parents their space but Sam did.  I think what will be more heart breaking is to find out who of the 7 actually hit Jake.  I really hope it wasn't Sam or Carly.  The other 5 we'll have to see.  This will undoubtedly be a very dramatic week.  I admire the acting and the writing I just hope I can watch each day without being too sad.  I hope they start mixing some lighter moments in because today was very intense.

On another note, I have read Tyler Christopher has been let go at GH.  I hope these rumors are untrue.  I have always loved TC and his work on GH.  Please call the comment line and make sure to mention what a great job he does.
