Commitment

Commitment is one term that was tossed about a lot today by the residents of Port Charles.  In some cases it was referring to personal relationships and in other cases it was not. 

The Zaccahrras have some commitments all their own.  Johnny is committed to try to keep the peace while Anthony is committed to proving he should be committed to Shady Brook. I love Johnny and his father together.  While you can tell Johnny doesn't enjoy spending time with dear old dad and try to make him see reality.   But oh it is fun to watch.  Anthony is beyond off his rocker but with just a small dose of sanity scattered around the edge.  Johnny had a perfectly successful business and life without dear old dad stirring up trouble all over town.  How Johnny has to constantly keep an eye on his very unstable father. 
Johnny to Anthony: "Do I join you in a toast or go out and do damage control?"
Anthony is a lose cannon that no one can deny.  But it does make for some great TV.  Not to mention I love how this new struggle to keep dear old pops under control, has brought out the more entertaining side of Johnny as well.

Ethan is committed to the fact he is sure he doesn't want to be with Kristina and she is pretty committed to proving him wrong.  I loved what Ethan told Kristina today.  Okay I know I am not a supporter of Ethina but I thought they had some good scenes today.  Ethan pointed out to Krissy why it was dangerous she be wondering about acting like the damsel in distress when there are real threats out there she needs to wake up from her little teen world and realize.  Her age doesn't matter as much as her maturity level in this case.  Kristina is far too emotionally immature to be with Ethan right now.  I am not saying they might be sizzling in a couple of years  but she needs to grow up a bit before then.  She needs to stop being this whiney, emotional, needy spoiled brat and prove she can be mature.  She needs to find herself first and be her own person first. She needs to make that commitment to herself. 

Now for the real commitment we all want to talk about - Jason and Sam.  Oh I was hoping they would be on again today since the marriage conversation got cut short from Friday.  Yesterday you could tell the conversation wasn't over on the topic of marriage.  They discussed the challenges with marriage Carly and Jax had and their failure at marriage.  Sam's fear of marriage was so clear yesterday.  Marriage is a huge step and Sam is clearly afraid of marriage.  Sam has never needed marriage or a legal binding piece of  paper to tell her Jason loves her.  She knows Jason loves her.  She is committed to Jason and he is committed to her so why marriage?  Why get married?  The answer is pretty clear, because they both want to get married even though they aren't admitting it yet to one another.  Jason wants to get married.  I believe he wanted to get married bay in Feb. 2010 when Molly cornered the two of them in the church after the christening for Josslyn and brought up the topic.  Jason was ready to propose then but saw that dear in the headlights look in Sam's eyes and decided it was clearly not something she wanted.  They talked about marriage shortly while he was in prison but agreed maybe there was another way around conjugal visits. Then Botox came back and Jason remembered the hell she brought with her has his last wife and he was pretty much done with marriage thoughts after that. 

But after Brenda left, Sam hasn't spent a night at her place since.  Jason and Sam have survived a lot and grown so much closer this year.  First, Sam was nearly killed in the car explosion which shook Jason's whole world.  He knew he could not live without Sam but seeing her on the gurney just reminded him life is short.  Life was cut short for Jake and Sam helped Jason survive that whole horrible loss.  Sam and he grew even closer through that whole painful experience.  Then Sam decided she wanted a chance to have a child and through the procedure it gave them both hope for a future and a family together.  So why not get married?

 Jason is ready to get married and is ready to ask Sam.   Jason heard Sam when she said she didn't want a big grand gesture of a wedding.  He heard her clearly she is afraid of marriage but not because it would be marrying Jason but because of her past.  She rarely talks about the past but today Jason saw she still carries it with her.  Jason pointed out to Sam today how much he loved her and he also made it clear that the topic of marriage is not something he wants to push aside.  Jason is so ready to get married to Sam.  He made it clear he does not want to marry Sam because he feels guilty or obligated- he wants to marry her because he loves her and he will never hold anyone else in his heart.  He is committed to Sam McCall completely. 

Maxie Jones is really the voice of the JaSam fans.  Maxie brought up the topic of marriage with Jason.  I love it.  Maxie read our minds when talking to Sam.  Maxie and Sam's friendship is perfect.  I love how Sam points out to Maxie that Jason won't stop talking about marriage now.  Maxie who is allergic to marriage herself sure is pushing this agenda for JaSam.  Thank God for Maxie Jones!!!! I think Sam's talk with Maxie only reminded her more of why she wants to marry Jason which is a good thing!  I am so excited about this potential up-coming wedding and marriage.  Spoilers out there are a flutter but I am trying not to read them.  Keep the faith! Our JaSam wedding is coming!
