Historically Tuesdays are the least watched days on soaps and they generally are known to be the least eventful days in story lines. However, today's episode was absolutely hands down one of the best episodes that has been on in ages. The writers are finally hearing us.
First Jason and Sam were perfect today. I loved how they pretended to be a bickering couple to con the cop into going away. Then Jason carrying Sam to a campground and trying to take care of her was so sweet. Although I have watched today's clip over a few times and it really did look like Jason might have been the cause of her twisted ankle because she turns one direction and his pulls her arm in the other. But no matter what it was so sweet how he carried her off and took care of her. I am so excited for the rest of the week coming up.
Now those of us with semi-good memories recall that one year ago on 8/24 Jason kissed Sam which lead to them finally giving into their resistance and on 8/25 making love. Who know what 8/25/10 will hold for us this year. Love that it's been a whole year since they've been back together and they are more in love then ever.
If you are blessed to have DVR'd today's episode you were able to fast forward through the rest of the show. However, if you did you might have missed some other amazing performances today. Robin and Patrick were so powerful in their scenes today. Patrick was truly sorry but Robin was in every right to be so hurt. I was always a scrubs fan but my goodness they have been so boring the last year or so. But now can I just say WOW that was amazing acting by Kimberly McCullough and Jason Thompson today. I was blown away. I can't wait to have this story line unfold as well.
But in all fairness for the rest of today's show, I did fast forward the Sonny/Dante/Claire scenes for the most part and I only watched a few of the Brenda scenes. I am still willing to give Brenda a fair shot but it does seem like she or the writers are trying to hard with her. She doesn't appear genuine like Brenda used to be.
On another note I never saw the series Port Charles but had a few people mention it on boards recently due to the KeMo and ME reunion on the "what if" webisodes coming up on 8/30. So I decided to see what that show was all about on youtube. I love YT, you can find any old show out there. For the last 3 nights after everyone in my house has gone to been including the cat, I have put on my headphones and sat in the dark watching all of the episodes until the wee hours in the morning. I just finished watching the entire series of Caleb and Livvie and I am still not sure how to put how I feel into words. I loved how much they loved each other but something was always off with their love. But their love was so truly passionate and, in it's own right, very enduring. However, it was also flawed and rather sad; almost a tragedy of sorts. By the end of the show during the last few episodes he kind of freaked me out. But I think the thing I feel the most about their story is sadness on how the writers ended the series. I was hoping for a happier final episode. I felt sorry for Livvie the entire series she was so sweet and innocent in the beginning and even in the end all she wanted was to be loved and have Caleb love her with all he could. Out of all the characters her's was the most tragic and lost. Kelly Monaco did a wonder job with that character like she does with all of her roles. I think Sam is much stronger then Livvie but I liked Livvie all the same. If you haven't seen the show, I recommend you stay up some late nights while everyone else in your house has gone to bed and watch it. It's worth while seeing.

As natural to me as breathing
Oh thank goodness the wait is over, Jason is finally out of Pentonville. Good-bye Pentonville, ugly gray prison set and ugly clothes. While I had hoped for a long passionate reunion between Jason and Sam at least we got a few great scenes. I loved when Jason walked in the door and Sam jumped into his arms. Finally they are able to be together and not have to worry about someone coming to take him away to Pentonville. Sam nearly lost it for a second as the happiness washed over her. Their devotion to one another is so beautiful and peaceful. They both are so happy and at peace just looking into each others eyes. These two being together is as natural as breathing and as perfect as it too. I have to give a nod to the writers for digging into JaSam history and using the line that only us JaSam fans would remember. I do love those references. Sam and Jason are finally happy and together. Now would seem like a great time for a wedding don't you think?
Today's show was rather funny when Michael apologize saying he feels like he is always interrupting people about to have sex and Jason almost blurts out that he and Sam have already had sex. So unlike Jason to kiss and tell but he is so blissfully happy it is written all over his face. It is nice seeing Jason so in love it he doesn't care who knows it. Jason is so grateful for Sam and in love with her he wants her to know how much she means to him and doesn't care who knows how happy he is. I hope we get a few more scenes with them this week though. I am so tired of Jason talking to Carly, Sonny, Lucky, Michael, Spinelli and the list goes on and on. Jason needs to lock his door, turn off his phone and go spend time with Sam. Or better yet they need to go to the cabin and shut out the world for a while.
While Jason and Sam are the reason I watch GH still, I am liking some of the other things the writers are doing on the show these days. Maya and Ethan were actually rather cute together. I like how they are keeping them light but not too serious but fun to watch. Maxie and Lucky are really kind of funny together. I like their friendship. I think maybe Maxie should be single for a while and do some scheming that blows up in her face and provide comedic relief for us. Maxie is funnier when she is single.
Keep watching and keep calling the comment line. Thank you all for your comments on my posts. They keep this fun and interactive. I agree with you guys. Our couple needs more screen time.

Too Little to Say Much
This was a rough week team JaSam, but we made it through. We all knew going into this week there would be very little Jason and Sam due to the Brendamaina. But Brenda has arrived on our screens now, lets hope they tone down the over-blown hype and just let the true Brenda shine through. I don't want to give the impression I hate Brenda. On the contrary, she was a hoot back in her day and I was a fan. But I am having a hard time getting back into the Brenda groove just yet. I had hoped the writers would ease us back into Brenda kind of how the eased us back into Robin's return in 05 but I am starting to doubt there will be any easing with Brenda's return.
But enough about Brenda, let's focus on the positive and reason we keep watching, JaSam. Though our time with our favorite couple was brief it was still magical this week. I was a little disappointed Jason didn't rush into the visiting room and grab Sam's hands passionately like he has before. But he did look at her with that hunger in his eyes so all was not lost. Then Sam began to explain her plan, his reaction was classic. He wasn't about to let Sam compromise herself for him no matter what. Sam is very self sufficient and probably better at running a con then anyone around but Jason would not have her let some possibly morally corrupt judge lay a hand on her ever. Not to mention the whole legal issue, he wasn't having it. It was sweet, he would rather waste his days in prison then ever let anyone touch Sam. While I see Jason's side completely, I see Sam's too. She feels powerless in this situation and this plan is a way to try to get some control and possibly get Jason out of prison. She is afraid that they will never let Jason out of prison so she wants to do anything she can for them to be together. But it was also incredibly sweet how Jason called Spinelli to try to help him get through to Sam to protect her from herself. But Sam is just about as stubborn as Jason, when she gets her mind made up she generally doesn't back down. Of course, for once I have to say thank goodness for Sonny and his overactive sperm. I think Claire is playing Sonny just as much as he is playing her but who cares if it gets Jason out of prison then I am happy for once. This is probably the first selfless thing Sonny has done in a long time. Score one for Sonny!
I am so glad Monday Jason and Sam will be reunited and no more prison for a while. I can't wait until Monday and the weeks to follow as the Jason and Sam story line heats up.

The Brendamania
Well today it finally happened, Brenda took over daytime TV for 3 solid hours. It was actually kind of fun watching old episodes of GH. It was almost comical to see how the characters have changed so much, aged like the rest of us. Sometimes we forget, just as we age so do these characters even though we sometimes perserve them in our memories classic in their youth.
The first classic scenes of Jax and Brenda's wedding was especially nostalgic for me but not because I was a giant Jax/Brenda fan. It was because I remember Grandmother was still alive during that time. I actually remember watching that episode and the few to proceed and follow it from the nursing home that Grandmother spent her final days in. I still remember how loud we had to turn up the TV for her to hear and how several rooms around her were watching the same show at the same volume. Grandmother never approved of Sonny for Brenda. I remember when Sonny and Brenda began to date she kept saying he was going to get her killed. It was no surprise to Grandmother that Lily was the one who died for being with Sonny. Grandmother was more of a Jax/Brenda fan. She felt he was better suited for her. I still can hear her talking about them. Isn't it sweet how sometimes you hear a song or see a show that takes you back nearly two decades to a totally different time in your life and memories of someone you haven't seen for many years who had such a profound impact on your life. Her insight on GH was not the profound impact on my life but nevertheless, it's always nice to see something that reminds me of her.
Something else that was entertaining was how crisp the writing used to be for GH. GH had very classic crisp writing during the 90's and early this century. Also the comedy of the Jason and Brenda wedding was so brilliantly done. Some days I wonder if the writing now is going to give us whip lash as it jerks us around scenes and though some times jagged story lines with loose ends all around. I know some of the reason for bringing back Brenda was to try to bring back some classic GH fans but I just hope the writers now are up for the challenge to tighten up plot lines and stop recycling old story lines (who's the daddy of Liz's 15 children).
Only time will tell if anything will change now that Brenda is back. However, Brenda or no Brenda, Sam needs her own story line . Keep calling the comment lines and keep faith. According to the medianet pics there will be lots of JaSam in the coming weeks. I am already anticipating the great scenes that will be in store.

Looks that can speak volumes
With a heavy heart we watched on Friday as Jason dawned that fashionable orange jumpsuit and shackles and be carted off to Pentonville yet again. But before they hauled Jason off the clink, we were able to witness probably the most loving glaces between Jason and Sam. They didn't care who else was around they just stared so deeply into each others eyes it spoke volumes. With very little dialog on Friday we all witnessed once again why Sam and Jason are so perfect and have such a magical love. I think even Dante was amazed by their devotion to each other which is why he allowed them to have some time alone together at least. It was sweet and moving the way Jason realizes Sam is so amazing and strong. He often seems as if he feels like he doesn't deserve her because she is so strong and beautiful. But she reassures him that no matter what she loves him and is never going to leave. That type of devotion almost brings tears to your eyes. Even at the end when he was hauled off he told Sam with no reservation he loved her even in front of Dante and the PCPD which was a very un-Jason like moment.
The only part of Friday's episode JaSam scenes that wasn't entirely pleasant was Ronnie. When is someone going to kill him? Seriously GH is in desperate need of a virus, serial killer or explosion that takes out a few of these extremely irritating characters and at the top of the list should be Ronnie followed by (of course) Olivia, Dante, Liz, Lisa and maybe Brook Lynn is she doesn't stop annoying me soon. Lulu would be on my list but I couldn't do that to Luke and Laura. I am much too much of a classic Luke and Laura fan to make them suffer the loss of a child because I know that is the most heart breaking experience anyone can ever have. I could not inflict that on them no matter how much I wish she would find her brain. Maybe Lulu could just go crazy and go off to the mental ward until she realized she lost her gumption and finds it again.
This week we prepare for the return of Brenda and if you have been reading any of the articles the hype is a bit overwhelming. Brenda can't help cause some trouble when she returns but I just hope her return does not take over all of GH. The chances of us to see much JaSam this week are very low. So sit back and just watch the return of Brenda hype with the rest of us. Don't get me wrong Brenda in her day was entertaining but the hype is over the top. You would swear this is bigger then the second coming at this point. What I do hope is the GH writers realize that they have amazing talent already on the show and need to give Sam her own story line if Brenda is back or not. Sam is very much in need of a story line that is about her. We know about Sam's past for the most part and we know about her family but Sam is a very talented PI who needs to get involved with a mystery that is both suspenseful and action packed like her story line should be. Kelly Monaco is extremely talented and I would love to see a story line that really shows us that.
Keep calling the comments lines and keep positive because good JaSam is coming up!

Can you forgive me for this choice?
As a devoted JaSam fan, I feel like Jason should be asking this same question of us that he asked of Sam. We know logically that in Soap land Jason will get out of prison soon but today as I watched Jason and Sam spend their last seconds together it brought tears to my eyes. Kelly Monaco and Steve Burton draw us in to those scenes and make them so real I have to remind myself this is a TV show not reality. They have a very special gift. The desperation in Sam's voice and eyes made us all want the same things she wanted. She knows that potentially these might be the last few minutes they are together for the rest of their lives. But she would not miss them for the world. We saw them both cherish every breath they took together. I really hoped deep in my heart that Jason and Sam would run off together to somewhere tropical and get married, have a baby and live happily ever after and get all they deserve.
However, we all know that isn't in the cards right now for Jason and Sam. But what we can find comfort in the fact Jason and Sam want a life together and are devoted to each other. That type of devotion is so beautiful and perfect you can feel it while you watch their scenes. That's what true beauty of love is made of and these two have it. There had been a bunch of spoiler sites that state today 'Jason and Sam make love' and it didn't happen. This is the second time in recent months a hinted love scene has been reported in the spoilers and never happened. But that is actually how I prefer it. Jason and Sam don't need raw carnal love scenes to pull in fans like Lulu and Dante, they have so much more. They have an amazing love that is so incredible we all watch their scenes 100 times just to live in that moment again.
Tears streamed down my face as Jason told Sam if she chose to move on with her life he would have to find a way to accept it. My heart ached as I watched Sam tell Jason she wanted him anyway she could get him. But I think my favorite part about today was watching Sam kick Jason's tail in dominoes. His face beamed as she set up the dominoes and then when she won with 'raw talent', it was perfect. I laughed after I had been crying mostly through their scenes today, I thought that was so incredibly cute. Their final looks to each other after their kiss said it all, the love in their eyes was truly beautiful.This new and improved JaSam is more devoted to one another then ever before.
So here is my only question that pertained to Franco today - if he isn't dead why are they sending Jason back to prison?

Sometimes Maybe we have too much technology
I am sure many of you read the recaps from this weekend's GHFCW. Maybe even of you lucky soles out there got to attend. It sounded amazing and I wish I could have been part of it. I was like so other fans out there checking the recaps and looking at the photos. It sounded so much fun and was nice to hear the actors be people. We often forget how these people, while famous stars, are people too. It's nice to hear how they were honest with the crowd and let their hair down so to speak.
I too, like many others I am sure, follow Kelly Monaco, Steve Burton, Laura Wright and other GH stars on Twitter. I think it is amazing how you get to see how truly down to earth these stars are. Laura Wright for instance is probably one of the funnier people out there and very family oriented. However, sometimes people feel the need to attack these stars and forget their lives are none of our business. What the stars share in their interviews, public appearances and even on twitter is their personal lives and we should just be grateful to read about them. We need to realize these people have personal lives too. Much like many things in our own life, some things should remain private.
Recently on Wendy Williams and at the GHFCW event with Kelly Monaco she mentioned some things about her personal life and the struggles of this last year. I applaud her for her honesty and willingness to share details about her life. We have never seen that side of her much and it really allowed me personally to see her as a real person. But it's her personal life and if she is nice enough to open up no one should attack her on twitter, facebook or anywhere else. Seriously fans and non-fans alike out there need to respect themselves enough to not act so disgusting to another human being. If you aren't a fan, don't watch her or listen to what she has to say. If you are a fan, then be respectful. It's very simple. It is sad that there are people out there in this world who think just because they can hide behind a computer it is okay to use those social networking sites to attack people's lives or personal character. To those people who are clearly not fans, please just leave her alone.
