Needing a Friend

Lately the characters of GH have been keeping some unusually cast of characters as their friends.  Everyone seems to be all of a sudden be-friending people you would not find likely as real life friendships.  As RC works to stuff more of his OLTL pets into our GH canvas I am sure we will see more of this.  But for now lets just look at this unlikely cast of friends these days.
First we have Michael and Starr.  What would Abbey think of this? I kind of miss Abbey Haver some days.  She kept Micahel centered. But now Michael is more 'mature' and that is a relief because wow those were rough the last 16 yrs watching that character grow up.   Now if you get past the whole way Starr and Michael met, here is what I see: two extremely selfish, self absorbed brats of rich families and think they are entitled to everything.  Okay so maybe they would make a good pair of friends considering they appear to be cut from the same cloth. 

That brings us to another self centered character - Kristina - why did they bother bringing back her character? I mean Krissy is probably the most spoiled pain in the rear ever to grace GH besides her father and brother of course.  But now we have Krissy who has be-friended a TV producer who clearly has her best interests at heart.  There is clearly nothing but true friendship going on there - HA! I personally think this whole Krissy storyline is a waist of air time.  I liked Lexi as Krissy and I loved how she interacted with the Davis women.  This new Krissy is NO LEXI send her back from where she came from.

This bring us to the other weird friendship of Carly and Todd.  That just seems too random.  Why would Carly be friends with Todd???? If Carly was smart she would keep her distance.  Todd should go back to Landview or somewhere else, give Sam back her baby and take that crazy coo coo bird Heather with him. 

Now, of course is the Liz and Jason friendship.  Liz can't be friends with a man it is not in her DNA.  Every man in her history that she has been 'just friends' with somehow ends up father one of her brats.  I don't know what it is about her needy personality but she can't seem to keep any man she tries to be friends with out of her bed.  Eventually she lures them in manages to poke holes in every condom on the eastern seaboard and bam! 9 months later can't figure out who the father is of her kid.  She is just not capable of this and it is clear with Jason.  She is so hot for him it is hilarious to watch.  She is trying to be 'supportive' of his love for Sam and his problems but all the while she is trying to calculate how she is going to get him back.  We all know it.  She has put up a good front though.  I mean she was nice enough to Jason by listening and telling him to give Sam space.  But in the end that chick wants him badly and she is going to convince herself while he talks all about Sam, wears a wedding ring and confesses his love for Sam every minute of every day somehow he is really after her.  Poor Liz.  Can't they find this poor girl a man that actually wants Liz for Liz and doesn't want her to be their shoulder to cry on or just a stand in for someone else?  I feel for Liz and all but I hope RC realizes too that if he screws too much with JaSam he is going to get that show canceled because we will all stop watching.
Please hear me on that point, RC - Please be intelligent about your audience enough to know this, you can put us through a lot of JaSam angst and we will tolerate it but break them up for good and you are going to find you have very few viewers and fans left.  Let me be crystal clear on that one.

As for John and Sam's relationship it is clearly just platonic.  Sam needs a friend.  Sam has never been real good at keeping friends.  She was friends with Maxie when Maxie was Maxie but now we have NuMaxie and who the heck would want to talk to that whining sniveling mess.  Sam doesn't need a friend like that anymore.  Sam needs a friend and that is all John is to Sam, a friend.  She needs someone to listen and not judge her, offer suggestions or tell her what a great guy Jason is right now.  She needs someone to just listen.  She just lost her child and she thinks it is Jason's fault.  Her sole mate just  ripped her heart out and stomped on it.  So, yes, she needs a friend that has no connection to Jason.  Since partially every female in PC that she isn't related to has either slept with Jason or is related to him, naturally she needs a friend from the outside of town.   I know we have a McBAM kiss coming up but just remember to take that news with a grain of salt.  Not all spoilers turn out to be as clear as they are written once on screen.  KEEP THE FAITH! I for one think it will be a mistake and misunderstanding and quickly dismissed.  DON'T READ TOO MUCH INTO THE BS, KEEP THE FAITH!!!
Write and keep the faith to GH.  Let RC know your love for GH and your love for JASAM!  Don't lose your head now! Keep calm and keep focused.  Jason and Sam are sole mates.  They belong together and it is not 2007 all over again.
