Major Flaw in Franco's Plan

I know I have said before, but I really really really really HATE that Franco is in anyway involved with Liz's baby's disappearance.  But some large flaws in Franco's plan aka the GH writing of this stupid twist to the story. Liz went into labor 4 weeks early.  They even tried to stop the labor so how did Franco plan this whole abductions so carefully when he basically had maybe a 10 hour window? Her labor seemed to go pretty quick and the fact this was her 3rd child 10 hours is generous. 
Let's look at this realistically for once (I know logic and GH are two different worlds but let's just try it):
#1 - Liz's labor was 4 weeks early.  No matter how convincing Franco is he isn't a doctor or able to induce labor with telepathy.  Labor is something I know for a fact is not something you can just will someone to go in.  Believe me, I have two children and there were many days when I was close to my due date I tried to will myself into labor and it didn't happen. Franco is clever and crafting but even he can't induce labor if he could there are many many many waddling pregnant women who would be chasing after him.
#2 - Franco has left Liz alone and doesn't really see much connection between her and Jason so why target her and her newborn baby?  It doesn't make sense.  Why not target someone Jason actually has present in his life such as go after the Quartermaines or even Robin.  He has more contact with them then he has with Liz. Why target her?  If he knows about Jake why not target Jake directly? 
#3 - I am not a Liz fan - I actually loath her character but I do feel kind of sorry for her in this particular situation.  Her son gets kidnapped and the only woman willing to listen to her craziness and try to be nice to her dies all within a few short hours.  Don't worry this won't change how I feel about her character but it seems kind of cruel of the writers to hit her with so many punches all at once.  She wasn't all that sane to start out now she has to deal with her baby being kidnapped (though she should be old hat at this Jake's been kidnapped twice now), and the death of Shirley.  She's going to be living in Shady Brook for sure now.  I guess that is how they could figure out RH's maternity leave. 
#4 - Why is Warren all of a sudden crazy?? I get his son died and he is lost in grief so his crazy rampage seems not completely off base but a few things.  Where did he get his gun, the hospital is on lock down and I don't know most hospitals to have a gun department available as part of the gift shop.   Why go on a crazy rampage today?  It seems much more logical to have Warren and his wife grieving over the loss of their son and to abduct a child then for Franco to do it.  I read a spoiler that said Franco takes the baby to his mom so she can raise it.  RETARDED!!!! Why do they have to have Franco involved in this particular element of the story line??? It seems completely off base.

Let me hear your theories.  I hope the writers wrap this all up in a nice little package for us because right now I feel as if this show's writing is completely disjointed.  They are trying to cram too much into the show's existing story lines and not doing a very good job.  If this is their method to improve ratings it is not working.  It is just irritating the fans.  Oh and don't even get me started on the whole Brenda return.

Franco's master plan

This past week we saw Franco visit just about everyone he tormented the last time in Port Charles.  Everyone but Lulu seemed to leave the confrontations without Franco making any threats to them.  Lulu, on the other hand, well she for some reason seems to be a very easy target for him.  She scares easily which given her up bringing and her past is kind of surprising.  Franco really does seem to thrive on this weakness of her's.  I guess we could only hope that Franco makes Lulu snap again like she did a few years ago and she is off back to shady brook and perhaps Dante can visit her there and stop annoying us.  Seriously, is there any other soap couple who have had that many carnal love scenes this year? I am so tired of watching those two tear each others clothes I just change the channel.  Seriously Guza enough is enough we get it these two like to get naked - we got it.  Maybe Franco can at least put an end to that for us.  That would work for me.  I also do love Jason's idea of that maybe just maybe Franco can take Dante out. Then maybe Lulu would snap out of her brainwashed state and back to the sassy spunky girl we actually liked who put Elizabeth in her place when she had her affair with Nicolas.

Speaking of the floor whore, she seems actually somewhat pleasant lately to Nicolas and actually realizes she did something wrong.  Well we all know that won't last.  As soon as that baby comes out she'll be back to playing the victim and judging EVERYONE else and putting back on that tarnished halo of her's.

I read on abc.com that Franco will unleash a dastardly plan that is centered at GH and that Lucky's baby goes missing.  First off, DAMN IT!!! WHY DOES FRANCO HAVE TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE WHORE???  This whole part of the plot really has me angry.  This means Jason is going to go running to Liz's side and work to find the baby and remember when Jake was born and kidnapped, blah, blah, blah blah......I hope I am wrong but I sincerely hope Jason and the whore don't have any interaction during this whole mess.  (A small side note about Liz- here she was always saying Carly put her kids in danger by being with Sonny and Carly was a bad mom.  Liz's kids have all been kidnapped more then Carly's children.  For someone who claims to be so "perfect" - she sure does attract the drama.)

I also saw on ABC.com that there is a look-a-like to Sam at the MOCA.  This would explain all the rumors a few months ago that they were looking for a Sam or Brenda look-a-like.  I have also heard rumors once Jason goes back to jail and Franco is presumed missing, that Sam will go missing and Franco sends Jason a picture of Sam in a chalk outline.  Jason later finds Sam alive.   Let's hope the truth of the plot goes a little more like Jason gets out of jail, takes Sam to Hawaii where they get married and have a wonderful honeymoon.  Then they both take on finding Franco - working together they find him and take him out.  Afterwords, the build that strong foundation by having a baby. 

Ahh I know I am dreaming.  Oh well, keep the faith things will be interesting in the next few weeks.  Keep calling the comment lines daily.  We need more Sam and Jason scenes.  Sam needs her own storyline where Jason is supporting her.  Kelly Monaco is an exceptional actress and needs to be able to use her talent.

And so until next week my fellow GH fans, keep watching and calling.

Following some of Grandmother's advice

When my Grandmother was still alive, I was a teenager.  I had many boys ask me out but I would not stay with them long.  I would always tell Grandmother that they didn't live up to my standards.  Most of these boys were perfectly nice boys but for some reason or another I would find flaws in them very quickly and end things. I used this same fickle approach to most things in my life back them from books I started to read to interests in colleges and various sports. One day during the summer before my Grandmother got sick, she told me some great advice that I didn't truly listen to until much later in life.  Grandmother said "Sweetie Pie, you need to lower your standards in life or you will spend the rest of your life being disappointed."  At the time I thought that was incredibly bitter advice from an old woman who had survived The Great Depression, two world wars and had very little but great stories to show for her life.  However, Grandmother wasn't only trying to tell me this advice about relationships but also about life.  If you don't build things up to be something and they fall short you won't spend time regretting the outcome.  As I got older and realized what she was trying to tell me was, don't put everyone and every experience on a pedestal otherwise you will spend your life being disappointed.

Someday I wonder if we don't hold other things in life to impossible standards.   Recently I've been reminded in so many facets of my life that I need to listen to Grandmother's advice and just let things happen the way they were intended.  So tonight I am trying to look at all things in a new light.   I am also applying this new (or rather very old and wise) logic to GH right now.  Let's be honest, lately GH's plot and story lines have left a lot to be desired.  But maybe this is just the calm before the storm. Maybe there is something wonderful coming and we just need to keep our minds open to be ready to take it all in.  Franco is back and so far that story line could have potential if they only will focus it more around Jason and Sam and MUCH less around DuDu there is hope there.  Sonny is out of control right now and it is at least somewhat interesting to see him unravel.  Soon Brenda will be there to help him put the pieces back together.  But GH really needs to get more focus back on their super couple.  So maybe if we keep the faith, keep calling the comments lines and do what we can to get some focus back on Jason and Sam, just maybe this will work in our favor. 
Keep the faith something wonderful is headed our way and the show will be back on top and have the huge declarations it used to have back in 2005 and 2006. 

There might be a light up ahead

First off, I've been away and have to travel again this week so most of my viewing of the show has taken place via my phone on youtube.  I am not entirely sure of all that is going on with the show out side of Jason, Sam, Krissy and Luke/Tracy.  The bright side of having to view the show over a weak cell signal in the middle of no where is no DuDu.  Focusing on the positives at this point.
Anyhow I digress - this summer so far I feel as if we have been in the dark with very little JaSam light to keep us going.  However, things seems to be slightly improving.   Last week I adored the conjugal visit episode.  I just have watched that one at least 5 times.  It was so sweet, while I was hoping to see a little bit more skin (not too much like DuDu are always willing to bear) just maybe a shirt off by Jason or some afterglow, I can't complain overall.  I won't complain I should say because we have had such a bleak abyss of no JaSam I am elated to just see them together.  While the week marched on I was glad to see Sam was on a few more days.  I may have missed it, but I have yet to see Jason tell Sam Franco is back but maybe she already knows.  Or maybe he just gets so distracted by seeing her no one else in the world exists.  Bravo for Alexis to remind Jason this week, while he did make a huge sacrifice for Michael so has Sam.  Everyone seems to forget how much Sam has ALWAYS sacrificed for that boy from the minute her and Jason got together over 5 years ago. 
I think it is wonderful Jason is getting out of prison, that prison look is getting very old for him.  Not to mention, I've never seen anyone get so many visitors there.  Hopefully they can retire that piece of the set for a while now Jason is out.  I am very dissappointed that Jason will be released into Dante's custody.  So is Dante now the keeper of all the people that like Sonny?  I can't stand Dante I am sorry to see the new Franco story line will involve him.  I am with Jason - the minute Franco is caught grab Sam and run so fast and never look back.  Let Dante get a taste of his own medicine by sitting in prison.  If I have to see anymore Lulu and Dante scenes in this lifetime or the next it will be too soon.  So now she wants Sonny to convince Jason not to run.  She gets more annoying everyday.  She has no life outside of Dante now.  What happened to my feisty Lulu Spencer who would have a life of her own, stand up to anyone who wronged her family, not care about the law and made her father proud.  Does she even know her Dad is in he middle of a crisis? Did she even notice he was kidnapped? She needs to stop dropping her clothes ever two seconds for Dante and get back in touch with her feuding brothers, he desperate father and her irately pissed off step mother.
So far in the past few months, Jason has promised three times now about taking Sam away from everything.  He had better deliver and soon.  I hope before the summer is out, they get quality alone time together be it in Mexico, the cabin or just somewhere with no interruptions I will be happy. 
This week will be another long week of trying to find somewhere I can get an adequate signal to watch the show.  I have high hopes for when Jason walks in the door Wednesday, he grabs Sam in his arms and not let her go. 
Hang in there JaSam fans - things are looking up! Take care this week and I hope to catch the show soon.  Be back full time after next week.  Hopefully the show will have something worth writing about.

Please no more Lulu and Dante romping

Generally I always try to watch each episode of GH and try very hard to focus on the positives of the show.   But lately, Heaven help us, there is little if anything positive to focus on.  Are the writers on vacation?  Is there some writers strike we don't know about because seriously the show is awful recently.  How often can Lulu and Dante hop into bed together?  Are they trying to set a new record for sickening boring love scenes?  Even Oliva and Johnny are looking good right now.  Everyday this week Lulu and Dante have been on and keep 'rutting like farm animals'.  There is no chemistry between those two.  They are as boring as watching paint dry. Actually today while they were doing their pillow talk I actually changed the channel to watch a PBS show on painting fruit bowls and found it far more riveting then GH these days.  While I appreciate art as much as the next person, I also tune into GH to be entertained daily to escape my hectic life for an hour and watch how the world of Port Charles is doing.  Lately they have been coming up VERY short in my expectations for the show.   It is almost as if the writers are absent and they have left us with 5 hours a week of Lulu/Dante romping to fill the dead air.  Personally if they can't give us anything better then Dudu and Krissy trying to piss off her father, just give us repeats of the good shows they have done this year.

Sam has been on so infrequently that I am beginning to forget what she looks like.  We saw a medianet pic of her and Spinelli together but never got to seen the scene so far.  It is becoming unacceptable how slow the story lines on the show are moving along.  We need our voices to be heard.  Please join me daily to make a quick call to the comments lines and say "thank you for the show but please give us more Sam and much more scenes with Jason and Sam. "

Waiting is the most painful game

Oh I am not sure how much more I can take of the lonely weeks of 3 minutes of JaSam.  Yesterday's fleeting moments of JaSam were smoking hot as usual.  It is impressive how those two can heat up the screen in just seconds.  Those two really sizzle.  When Jason kisses Sam's hands my heart aches for them to not be together. 
God Bless her for hanging in there and being so patient as things keep getting worse.  She is truly he constant that will never sway no matter how much more crap is thrown at her.

However, I am not as patient as Sam. If Jason has to go in isolation and denied visitors I am taking my own break from the show for a while.   I can't take many more weeks of Pentonville.  The show really isn't very exciting right now and I am losing faith in the summer story lines.  I try to stay interested but it is a challenge right now. 

One of the only story lines I like to follow besides JaSam are Luke and Tracy.  Those two are a hoot and I do love them.   No one can do comedy like those two.  I am not sure if I am thrilled with the fact they are going to say those two aren't legally married though.  I hope before too long Tracy and Luke are back on screen together making us all laugh and smile.  While I was a little young to remember the days of  Luke and Laura, I still have to say Luke and Tracy are one of my favorite couples in daytime (of course besides Jason and Sam). 

I used to really like Lulu - the day she told off Liz was one for the record books.  I stood up and applauded her in my living room.  I even liked her back when she was causing troubles for Dylan and Georgie.  She was funny and made a very convincing Spencer.  But now I feel not only has she strayed from the Spencer clan but she seems to have completely lost her own identity with Dante.  I hope she finds herself again and is back to her spunky funny self because if she doesn't she has lost this fan for good. She needs to ditch Dante and join her brother in looking for their father.  Speaking of Dante and Lulu, I am no prude but seriously those two need to put some clothes on and get out of the bedroom. I have seen more of them then I ever want to.  What happened to just implying the love scene instead of having to see the graphic details of their love life every darn day. This whole new twist with Brook Lynn too is equally as boring.  Who cares if they grew up together and she needs money.  The only entertaining part in this recent story line is to see how evil and conniving Carly can get with her plot to take them down. All I can say about that is 'Go Carly Go'.  Laura Wright plays evil conniving Carly better then any of the actresses who ever had that role.

I want Carly and Jax to get back together.  I miss them.  They still love each other but I fear the only reason she is still talking to him is to get him to get Sonny put in prison to get Michael out.  There is still so much love between the two.   I hope this isn't the end of them.

Some of the story lines for the summer really are beginning to feel like enough to cure insomnia for even the worst cases.  I am never a Sonny fan but his story lines are really dragging lately.  Yes, he has a temper but I have to agree with him in the fact he was never physically abusive. The fact they are spending so much air time on this same dribble makes me search for a pillow each time it is on.  The whole story line with Lisa and Steve is equally as boring. We all know Liz will do something to get in trouble with this whole drug study that they are discussing.

Maybe soon things will get better because for the last couple of weeks I feel the need to have a cup of coffee just to make it through the show somedays.

Please call the comment line 1-323-671-4583 voice your opinions.  Let it be heard we need more JaSam and about 90% less Lante. 

Keeping the faith for a Jasam Wedding .....Someday

I have re-watched yesterday's Jasam scenes a few times to try to replace my disappointment with possible hope for the future and maybe someday a Jasam wedding.  I, like many others I am sure, were hoping for much more of an open declaration and renewed hope for a soon Jasam wedding.  However, we didn't get an engagement or a long deep proposal.  I was fine with Sam proposing because I get Jason doesn't want to tie her to someone who might be spending at least the next 5 years in prison if not longer.  But I wanted Jason to talk about the fact he has been ready to ask Sam to marry him since last year but was trying to respect her wishes on the topic of marriage since both at Spin/Maxie wedding and Josselyn's christening she very clearly was against the institution of marriage.
 
The first two times I watched those scenes I felt not only disappointment but frustration with the writing.  But after I had some time to think about it more I actually love the way the discussion of marriage played out. I invite you to re-watch the combined scenes from Friday and Tuesday ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHt0zvTMW2Y ) with a different perspective. 

I think it is beautiful how Sam has over come her absolute fear of being in a relationship with Jason again to the point she is even willing to bring the topic up of marriage.  She's come a long way from the girl who told Spinelli last summer that "sometimes true and sincere love isn't enough".  She has finally let down those walls in her heart and let herself fall completely back in love again.  Many of us can identify with Sam's past hurt and betrayal.  It takes a lot to get back out there and let yourself be vulnerable again.  She not only has allowed herself to feel true love again she's allowed herself to take that chance on the very person who shattered her heart in the first place.  

So we didn't get an official engagement but we did get another confirmation of our favorite couples commitment to one another.  She will wait for him no matter how long he is in prison because as she said she 'signed on for whatever comes next'.  He loves her so completely it is written all over his face.  He wants her to have a full and happy life and is so grateful that will include himself.  And that my friends is truly beautiful  and even if we never get that wedding, we can hold on to the fact this couple is absolutely committed to each other for the long haul.   Of course I want a real wedding but this will have to do for now. 

Now, lets just hope we can all survive these extremely long episodes without any JaSam scenes.  Sonny is on everyday and I have reached an absolute new irritation level with him and his story lines.  On days Jason or Sam aren't on I just record the show and watch it on fast forward mostly.  I do, however, enjoy Luke and Tracy to no end.  Those two are a hoot.  Tracy is probably the only woman in daytime is that funny and not know it.  Luke is his ever charming self.  While those two's love is no Jasam love, their love is sweet and amusing to watch.  I wish we would have more Luke and Tracy scenes during our JaSam dry patch instead of  being forced to watch the very boring affairs of the hospital staff or watch DuDu and Brook Lynn.  I love Carly but this latest plan of hers is going to blow up in her face we can all see that. I would rather her not bring down Spinelli with her plan either.   And speaking of poor Spinelli he needs to get out of his funk before Maxie decides she really does want out of their non-marriage for sure.
