I still believe in fairy tales and pixie dust and all that stuff, do you? Fairy tales are the types of things that creates hope for us all and keeps us going when we think there is no chance we can make it. So why would you not believe in hope? When we are children we believe it all and we believe in magic so why do we change our minds as we age? We see the bitter reality of the world and let that haze cloud our view of magic and fairy tales but they still exist and every once in a while they come true. So don't give up hope. Never give up hope and never stop believing in magic. Just remember sometimes magic and hope come in a much different form then you expect them to.
Molly is the classic example of a child with hope and belief in magic and unicorns. Today she reminded Sam that magic is something worth fighting for and that love can last and survive if only you have faith. Sam and Jason are worlds apart right now and right now the world really does seem to be devastating for them. But Molly hasn't given up hope so why should we? If Molly can still see the fairy tale in all of this, maybe we should listen to her. Children are sometimes the most wise and insightful of us all - so don't discount Molly or think she is just foolish. Perhaps, just perhaps, Molly is the wisest of them all.
Jason loves Sam more then anything. Jason is afraid that when he sees this child he will just be reminded of how his love failed Sam and he failed to save her. Jason doesn't know how to deal with this. Jason doesn't know what to do because he can't come to peace with the fact he failed Sam. Jason is so torn because he can't come to terms with any of this. The truth is Jason needs someone to talk to just as bad as Sam does. Maybe he should talk to Ewan or someone else to figure it out. But the truth is Jason is pushing Sam away because he feels he is not worthy of her love or her child. Yes, you read that correctly. The truth is Jason isn't worthy of Sam's love but he has it anyways. So he needs to find a way to come to terms with this and let the past be the past. He wants to love this baby so badly but he isn't sure he can. Jason is playing the victim right now seeking advice from Elizabeth which may or may not have less then innocent motives. Jason needs to get past that and remember he wasn't the one that was harm and the only thing that matters is how he handles things now. How he decides to move forward is all that matters now.
The victim here is not only Jason or Sam but it is this child that hasn't even been able to breathe yet. I can't believe that Jason would let this child that is Sam's face the world without him and be the cause of so much pain for it's mother. I have a hard time believing Jason will hurt Sam that much.
Sam is just trying to do what is right by her child because no matter who is the father she is the mother. This is her only chance at motherhood. She knows this and loves this child with her whole heart. That is all this child needs in life is the love of it's mother. This child will grow up knowing its mother loves it and protected it for 9 months. This child will have a few amazing aunts and a wonderful grandmother. So luckily this child can grow up to believe in fairy tales and in pixie dust and all that magical stuff. That is Sam's hope at least is that she will do everything for her child so it can grow up to be like Molly and believe in magic. Sam isn't so sure about her future with Jason because she knows the bitter realities of life and all her hopes for a happy ending have been broken. But she still loves Jason and always will and in that she holds on to her own kind of belief in magic. As small as that belief is - it is still there too.
So even if your shed of hope is small and you have monstrous doubts, don't completely give up on magic, hope and fairy tales. Things will look up soon for JaSam I have faith.

Doing the Right Thing
Sometimes doing the right thing for yourself is one of the hardest things you ever have to do. Sometimes the right things seems impossible to do. Other times doing the right thing is pretty easy to do. Sometimes we do the right thing but we don't even realize we are doing the right thing until much farther down the road.
Sam doing the right thing today was pretty hard to swallow but I agree, she did the right thing for herself and the baby. She walked out on Jason because she wanted to give him space. She wanted him to have time to think about everything that has happened and didn't want to remind him of Franco. Maybe with Sam gone Jason can finally get a clear picture of how horrible he has been to her lately. Jason told Sam he didn't think of her as "tainted" but that is how he made her feel. Sam was raped and now is faced with the fact the baby she is carrying and loves is the rapist's. That is a horrible thing to go through but instead of supporting her and telling her he loves her without a doubt and this baby - Jason has pushed her away. He has made her feel like it was her fault. He has caused her to doubt everything about herself. So instead of Sam being weak and deciding to take this doubt and pain Jason is dishing out, she did what was right for HER. She should not be with someone who can't love the baby she is carrying that she already loves. This baby is a part of Sam so for Jason to say he isn't sure he can love this child is essentially Jason saying he can not love her completely either. Sam was raped - Jason was not. If she can love this child and not think about how it was conceived then Jason should be able to do the same knowing how much he loves Sam. But instead of loving her and supporting her and being her source of strength he has become her source of pain. Therefore, leaving him to think is the best thing she can do. There is no doubt Sam loves Jason and Jason loves Sam. But unless he can be supportive she doesn't need the constant pain and stress of being around him is causing.
Jason says to Sam it is not her fault that she is carrying a child that is not his but deep down you can't help feel like he is blaming her for some of this. But lets look at Jason's side of things for a minute. Jason has had an incredibly painful few days. He was so excited to be a father again and to maybe get fatherhood right this time with this child. He took the photo from the ultrasound and carried it with him everywhere he went. He finally had the greatest love of his life with him and they were having a baby together. This is a dream of Jason's that he has had for 8 years and pretty much his whole life. Sam is his home she is his everything and this child was created out of their love for one another. But then that was all taken from him in a blink of an eye. He has lost his child all over again. The pain of losing a child is so deep and painful and now he has to live that all over again. He has also found out not only is the child his wife is carrying not his but that the baby is his twin brother's who raped her. Oh and lets not forget that twin brother is someone he just killed a few months back because he was a psycho. And to top it all off he had to basically drag the truth out of his wife and find out she had confided in someone who is trying to take down your organization and appears to be targeting his wife's vulnerability to do so. Instead of Sam walking away from John McBain she told him personal details of their life. But none of that really hurts as much as finding out that the baby he loved is not his and the betrayal he feels because of it. While in his head he knows Sam was raped by Franco it is still extremely hard to wrap his heart around that she is not carrying his baby. On some level he is so angry it almost seems he is blaming her but it is not her fault and he knows this logically he just isn't thinking logically. All she is asking him is to support her through this pregnancy and love the child he loved a week ago. But for Jason he can't do this, at least not yet. Somewhere deep down he appears to be blaming Sam for being raped and for being pregnant and until he can let go of that anger and blame - he needs to be alone to figure this out for himself. Jason has had a lot thrown at him and yes, he could be handling things differently but at least he is being honest with Sam now.
Honesty is what Jason and Sam have built their entire lives on together. Today they were finally being honest with each other and it seemed to drive them farther apart or did it? Today Jason finally was honest and told Sam he isn't sure how he feels right now. That words were like flaming daggers into Sam's heart. But Sam did the right thing for herself and her baby. She took them out of the equation and all that was left to sit and think was Jason. Sam leaving (while it being very painful to watch) was probably the best way for Jason to realize how much Sam matters to him and how much he already loves this baby. I have faith he will figure this out very soon. Jason lost faith in their love when he started doubting Sam - Sam still believes their loves is stronger then anything in this world. It's time Jason remembers it too. Sam leaving will let Jason remember this.
Keep writing and keep faith. JaSam will weather this storm and come out the other side stronger.

Still Holding On
I as a fan of General Hospital am still holding on to hope that someday very soon the head writers will hear our voices and understand why we love GH. I am thankful GH has been allowed to stay on the air another year. I am very grateful ABC has realized it's fanbase is huge and loyal to it's soap. I am hopeful that GH has a long bright future ahead of it.
I won't lie though, I have been frustrated beyond belief lately with GH and it's current storylines. Not all are bad. I actually like crazy Connie and the plan she had. That was great finally someone stuck it to Sonny. I like the story lines of Luke and Tracy - I can not stop loving watching those two on screen and their flare for drama and comedy. I have so enjoyed the return of Anna and what she brings to the show. I generally ignore Lulu and Dante but even their story line has been interesting now that we know Ronnie is the bad guy.
But as a faithful JaSam fan I am beyond outraged sometimes when I watch GH. To be honest I haven't been watching GH everyday faithfully because of it. Sometimes I feel like it is 2006-2007 all over again and that is when I stopped watching GH for 2 years and would not have come back if I hadn't seen a promo about the JaSam reunion in the works. I really hope for GH's sake history is not repeating it's self. Last time GH lost a lot of fans this time I think GH would lose everything.
So I am trying to hold on to hope, as hard as that can be at times. Hope that Jason and Sam will weather all these latest set backs and rise above it. Hope that Jason will begin to understand Sam never kept the truth from him to hurt him but to try to make it easier for him. Hope that Jason will remember his wife was brutally raped and she never got a chance to deal with it before the crisis of everything else set it and she needs to find a way to deal with it. Hope that Sam gets help from someone she can trust and being to allow herself to open up to Jason again. I believe the reason Sam has been opening up to John so much (besides the fact she is his long lost sister) and not Jason right now is because she wants to spare Jason the pain she is feeling. She admitted it months ago to Michael she wanted to talk to Jason about the rape every time she did he just got so angry and then he started blacking out, having head aches etc. So she decided then and there she had to deal with all of this on her own. Even though Jason's health has improved she still isn't sure what she can tell him because he gets so angry. Therefore, Sam has to find someone else to talk to - queue long lost brother John McBain. John is not a threat to Jason and Sam's marriage (for th most part) Sam loves Jason with her whole heart and Jason loves Sam. The real threat to this marriage is Jason's angry and inability to just let Sam confide in him without getting angry. I thought Liz said it quite well yesterday (yes I actually agree with Liz and liked her comment for once). Liz said, just because Sam isn't being honest with Jason it didn't mean he didn't need to be honest with Sam. Jason needs to stop acting like the victim here and realize Sam is going through absolute hell right now and has no support (from him) and feels the whole thing is her fault (including the rape). John is the only one supporting Sam the only one telling her this isn't all her fault the only one telling her what she needs to hear right now. Of course she is going to continue to confide in John because Jason is too upset and angry to talk to now. Jason needs a good scare and realize Sam is not the enemy here. She has done nothing wrong besides try to figure out how to handle everything that has happened to her the best way she knows how. Sam is a survivor and always has been. Sam will survive if Jason decides he can not raise this child. She will love this child no matter what but can Jason survive without Sam? ......The answer -NO! I believe soon he will realize this soon he will realize Sam is his whole world and he needs to fight for her. Fight for this marriage and fight for this child. I hope he does it soon because they deserve to be happy and we have had so little happiness for them this year and last other then their actual wedding.
So please help me remember to be positive when I see HORRIBLE spoilers out there and help me to remember to keep faith in GH and JaSam. Help by writing letters and sending emails to GH to let them know we love JaSam and they are the reason we watch. Keep positive in those correspondences -remember you can catch a lot more flies with honey then vinegar.
But if you need to vent, I TRULY understand and I invite you to use the chat box here on this site for it. I won't kick anyone out for being honest, unless you are a liason fan and are being difficult. I know it is hard to look at things in a positive light right now. I understand and invite you to express your frustrations here if you need to and so you don't get kicked off other fan sites that are just so damn happy right now.

Pro Con Con Pro
When I was in college I was in a sorority, when ever addressing something we were told we need to do the 'Pro Con Con Pro' method. This meant bring up a good point with a bad and end on a good note. This is actually a very good life lesson for any situation. I use it all the time in my professional world and even with my parenting style.
Pro:
One of the things I have always loved about GH is it wasn't your classic soap. It had semi-realistic story lines, it veered away from the supernatural like people being posed by the devil (DOOL) or vampires (that was PC not GH). GH veered away from the split personalities and other cliche story lines that have given soaps a less then favorable name in TV history.
Con:
However, now that we have a new writing regime, all bets are off and we often tune into our beloved show trying to find traces of what the show used to be. Let's see since this new arrival of the HW we have:
- a split personality
- a dead Robin (who isn't really dead but she'll be hanging out in that bed probably for the next 14 months at least)
- we are stuck with "Maxie" and no chance of Kirsten Storms return
- a complete invasion of OLTL characters taking over the canvas
- a new show format and opening unrecognizable from what it used to be
- lets not forget - a vampire walking around saying he is a cop but give it time folks and McBain is going to be sprouting fangs and flying around at night checking out the catacombs
- a promise to shake things up between our favorite couple which is turning out to meaning rehashing stupid storylines and not doing anything we enjoy much
-a pregnancy that is only going to last 5 months instead of 9
-Sonny is on trail AGAIN
Con:
Sometimes when I watch I feel like GH is turning into a show we can't even recognize let along watch and entire episode of. I really don't enjoy many of the current story lines and struggle with the logic in a lot of it. I keep trying to hold on to what we love so much and has entertained us for years. GH has been through many writers and many changes over the years and we have watched ever faithful and hopeful for the future. So why change now? Why stop watching and hoping? What is stopping us?
Pro:
I know what you are thinking, GH is turning into OLTL 2.0 and the HW is determined to fuse the two shows. I also was never a fan of OLTL because I could not get into the story lines. They drug on for years and got boring and dry and I would turn it off laughing at how hokey some of the story lines were. Some days I wonder if RC is determined to get GH canceled but why would anyone want to kill the last remaining soap on ABC? Why would anyone want to be known as the killer of not 1 but 2 shows. It would be extremely hard for him to find work knowing he is the guy that can get a show canceled in no time flat. So maybe he is not trying to get GH cancelled after all. Maybe he is trying to save it and has been told he needs to shake things up and see if it pulls in new viewers. Maybe he has good intentions and we should tune in and support our show. He is doing somethings good. Things are moving faster with him as HW then in the past. I loved GW but he did have an issue with timing. Things moved slowly and days went on for weeks with GW. Story lines are eventful right now. He did bring back some classic characters like Anna, Holly, Heather, Robert and Drake Senior and have plans for others to make return visits. Even if it was brief they came back it was wonderful to see them. Maybe this is what it will take to keep GH on the air.
So here is my advice, keep watching and find out what happens next. I know many of us are on boards, have facebook accounts and twitter and sometimes want to vent our frustrations. I encourage you do to so especially if it helps you feel better about the show. But remember what you write and say is out there is for everyone to see so I encourage you to make sure you say something positive about GH as much as you say something negative. Use the pro con con pro method - just try it. You can get your frustrations out without playing into the haters hands out there.
Now to talk about GH lately. Why is everyone listening to crazy people around Port Charles lately? Also why is everyone a bit crazy these days on GH?
Kate/Connie get crazier by the minute. Connie has a purpose but does Kate? I mean I think I like Connie better then Kate. Connie is a hoot and she's apparently the person to have around when you need to shoot someone. Maybe Sonny should hire Connie as his next enforcer instead of Jason. Jason needs to get out of the business and Connie sure is a clear shot with a hand gun but not the best at disposing of the weapon. She'll need to work on that to be a mob enforcer but I see this in her future.
Let's take Heather Webber for instance now. Heather is certifiable - literally yet we are going to take what she has to say as the truth about Jason and Franco being twins?? Even if they are twins, the fact that Sam's baby could be Franco's is still not possible. The DNA test showed the baby shares genetic marks with Jason. Jason and Franco were fraternal twins so they don't share the same DNA the way identical twins do. Not to mention Heather is CRAZY in every sense of the word. She is locked up for life in a mental institute of course she is going to screw with people just for pure entertainment value alone. Here is my theory either Heather is Franco's mother (would explain the whole crazy thing). OR Franco knew raping Sam would send Jason over the edge. He knew Jason would kill him for this. So Franco found out where Jason was born. He took that page of the birth record. He then went to Heather Moore offering her money or something she wanted she gave him the footage of that baby he then told her the story to tell Sam or Jason when they came looking. He knew by then it would be dead. He even made it easy for Jason to find him to kill him because by then he had his affairs in order and had the whole game set to play out. He also knew Sam was pregnant and he is the one who planted the seed he could be the father. Eventually it will come out that Franco wasn't Jason's twin. Heather will tell the true story eventually once she gets what she wants.
Sam is far to sharp and logical to fall for this once she sees the reality of this. Sam is the strongest character on GH and the smartest, she needs to be written true to character. Sam's true character will see this is some crazy old bitty trying to screw with everyone who has been paid off by Franco. Sam is a PI for God's sake she is trained to look at things logically. She needs to take her emotion out of the picture here and look at the facts. Also Jason needs to stop yelling at his pregnant wife and realize this poor woman has been through absolute hell in the past 5 months. She is going to be clingy a bit because no sooner did she get raped then found out she was pregnant possibly with the devil's baby then Jason nearly dies. Then Robin does die trying to save Jason. YES she is going to be a bit delicate right now. Not to mention she is pregnant and the last time she lost her baby so she is naturally going to need additional support. It is about time Jason starts giving it to her and stop worrying about Sonny. Let the sucker fry I say. Sonny didn't do this crime but he has done enough in the past to make up for this. I want Jason and Sam to be focused on the baby. We have waited 8 years for this, I want to see the doctor visits, Jason listening to the baby's heart beat, watching the ultra sound. I want him to FUSS over Sam like never before. I WANT THAT JASON!

He is doing somethings good. Things are moving faster with him as HW then in the past. I loved GW but he did have an issue with timing. Things moved slowly and days went on for weeks with GW. Story lines are eventful right now. He did bring back some classic characters like Anna, Holly, Heather, Robert and Drake Senior and have plans for others to make return visits. Even if it was brief they came back it was wonderful to see them. Maybe this is what it will take to keep GH on the air.
So here is my advice, keep watching and find out what happens next. I know many of us are on boards, have facebook accounts and twitter and sometimes want to vent our frustrations. I encourage you do to so especially if it helps you feel better about the show. But remember what you write and say is out there is for everyone to see so I encourage you to make sure you say something positive about GH as much as you say something negative. Use the pro con con pro method - just try it. You can get your frustrations out without playing into the haters hands out there.
Now to talk about GH lately. Why is everyone listening to crazy people around Port Charles lately? Also why is everyone a bit crazy these days on GH?
Kate/Connie get crazier by the minute. Connie has a purpose but does Kate? I mean I think I like Connie better then Kate. Connie is a hoot and she's apparently the person to have around when you need to shoot someone. Maybe Sonny should hire Connie as his next enforcer instead of Jason. Jason needs to get out of the business and Connie sure is a clear shot with a hand gun but not the best at disposing of the weapon. She'll need to work on that to be a mob enforcer but I see this in her future.
Let's take Heather Webber for instance now. Heather is certifiable - literally yet we are going to take what she has to say as the truth about Jason and Franco being twins?? Even if they are twins, the fact that Sam's baby could be Franco's is still not possible. The DNA test showed the baby shares genetic marks with Jason. Jason and Franco were fraternal twins so they don't share the same DNA the way identical twins do. Not to mention Heather is CRAZY in every sense of the word. She is locked up for life in a mental institute of course she is going to screw with people just for pure entertainment value alone. Here is my theory either Heather is Franco's mother (would explain the whole crazy thing). OR Franco knew raping Sam would send Jason over the edge. He knew Jason would kill him for this. So Franco found out where Jason was born. He took that page of the birth record. He then went to Heather Moore offering her money or something she wanted she gave him the footage of that baby he then told her the story to tell Sam or Jason when they came looking. He knew by then it would be dead. He even made it easy for Jason to find him to kill him because by then he had his affairs in order and had the whole game set to play out. He also knew Sam was pregnant and he is the one who planted the seed he could be the father. Eventually it will come out that Franco wasn't Jason's twin. Heather will tell the true story eventually once she gets what she wants.
Sam is far to sharp and logical to fall for this once she sees the reality of this. Sam is the strongest character on GH and the smartest, she needs to be written true to character. Sam's true character will see this is some crazy old bitty trying to screw with everyone who has been paid off by Franco. Sam is a PI for God's sake she is trained to look at things logically. She needs to take her emotion out of the picture here and look at the facts. Also Jason needs to stop yelling at his pregnant wife and realize this poor woman has been through absolute hell in the past 5 months. She is going to be clingy a bit because no sooner did she get raped then found out she was pregnant possibly with the devil's baby then Jason nearly dies. Then Robin does die trying to save Jason. YES she is going to be a bit delicate right now. Not to mention she is pregnant and the last time she lost her baby so she is naturally going to need additional support. It is about time Jason starts giving it to her and stop worrying about Sonny. Let the sucker fry I say. Sonny didn't do this crime but he has done enough in the past to make up for this. I want Jason and Sam to be focused on the baby. We have waited 8 years for this, I want to see the doctor visits, Jason listening to the baby's heart beat, watching the ultra sound. I want him to FUSS over Sam like never before. I WANT THAT JASON!

The Fall Out
It was quite a busy Monday today on GH. Today Maxie lost her mind in Port Charles, Connie bubbled to the surface and Sonny actually didn't realize that chick is crazier then he'll ever hope to be, Carly did something unforgivable and Anna learned of Patrick's affair.
Maxie spewed through the church confessing to one crime after another none of which she committed but I think she lost her freaking mind. I really wasn't feeling the scenes but all the same, Maxie is going to have quite the extended stay at Shady Brook at the rate she is going.
Anna learned as a result of Maxie's breakdown, that her favorite and only son-in-law was not perfect. Had Anna learned about Patrick's affair and Robin still be alive would be one thing. But on the day of her daughter's funeral is an entirely different thing. The shock of this news was so upsetting for her because she wasn't there for Robin too much but thought Patrick was perfect....reality flash Anna - no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. Anna, who dealt with her own husband who cheated on her should know this. But Anna is a black and white person so to find out Patrick cheated was most upsetting for her. Then he had to tell her about Lisa and her actions.
Johnny is such an amazing character sometimes. No one can tell it like it is like Johnny sometimes. Carly's intentions seemed sincere at first when she told Jason but once Carly arrived at Johnny's her true colors and intentions came out. Carly used this news about Robin to try to cause a problem between Jason and Sam. What an unbelievable, manipulative, callas, cold hearted evil witch. Carly confessed this to Johnny. Why does everyone feel the need to confess things to Johnny I don't know but I love how Johnny likes to slap them with a dose of reality. He even saw (hardly knowing Sam) that her intentions were not controlling or malicious, but were because Jason wasn't in the medical condition to handle anything let alone finding out his first love died trying to save him. Johnny was able to point out to Carly that SHE is the one who has a problem with all the other women in Jason's life NOT Sam. I am so GLAD Johnny was able to say what we all have wanted o say to Carly.
So Carly dropped the bomb on Jason and he was so angry. Jason just found out his first love is dead and that Sam kept it from him to keep him safe. Naturally Jason was angry and felt betrayed that Sam didn't tell him. Sam knew that was the risk of keeping the truth from Jason she even admitted it to Carly. So Carly used that to make the situation 10000 times worse then it could have been. Jason said he wasn't angry that Sam lied about it the night of the explosion but what he was most angry about was that she kept lying. Okay Jason lets play a game of put yourself in her shoes. Jason would have done ANYTHING to keep Sam safe when she was shot even lying to her and telling her he could not love her anymore because it meant she could die. He thought by hurting her so badly she could not think straight that it was okay because at least she was alive. Jason also lied to Sam when he began to get headaches a few years back to not worry her and he ended up breaking her heart then too. Jason didn't tell Sam about his current medical condition until Sam basically had to pry it out of him because he didn't want to worry her or cause her anymore stress since she has had to deal with so much. EVEN NOW - Jason didn't tell Sam ANYTHING about him asking Spinelli to look into the baby video more because he didn't want Sam to worry . Stress wasn't good for the baby.....Well gee Jason, what do you think the stress of watching you nearly die AGAIN for the 18th time then having to keep Robin's death a secrete out of fear it might kill you being doing to Sam right now? I get Jason just lost Robin and she was an extremely important person in Jason's life. He is in shock and today when he said maybe Carly knew him better then Sam was just the grief talking and a way to hurt Sam because he wants someone else to hurt right now like he hurts. But really, Jason, you need to realize Sam in not the enemy here nor is she the reason Robin died. The reason Robin is dead Jason, is because she thought your life was worth saving because she was a noble and caring doctor. Jason will come around soon and realize Sam didn't do this to hurt Jason. She told him why she did it. She was honest with him at the church. She was desperate to keep him alive and she didn't want Robin's sacrifice to be in vein. Sam respected Robin and was Patrick's friend, why on earth would she wish for this to happen?
I don't know if tomorrow's show will be a continuation of today's show or not, but if it is I hope Sam turns and walks out of the church. I hope she just leaves Jason to deal with his grief and let him realize what a freaking incredible self-centered jerk he is being. But Sam will want to make it right, she'll want Jason to understand why she did what she did. That will only escalate things and Jason will walk out of the church leaving Sam there to cry and feel like the worse person ever. He'll go to the bridge where he will run into Liz and they will talk about Jake and Robin. They will talk about both deaths NOT their relationship and if anything I bet Liz will actually defend Sam's actions to Jason and remind him Carly is always out to prove a point and cause trouble. Sam will stay at the church beating herself up for being such a terrible person begging God to let Jason forgive her, queue John McBain (aka Caleb). They will have some weird connections (aka their past lives desire to turn all of PC's into vampires) and hopefully Jason will get jealous. Hopefully Jason will realize that Sam is a beautiful, amazing person who chose to spend her life with Jason because she loves him more then anything but that every guy in town would give anything to be with her. She chose to be with Jason, he should feel HONORED. Hopefully John can help remind Jason what he has. Sam will feel the need to explain herself yet again which, BTW, she should not have to apologize for ANY of her actions here. Sam was raped on her honeymoon but instead of throwing that in Jason's face that he could not save her, she tried to deal with it all on her own, then right in the mists of dealing with that she finds out she is pregnant and the paternity is in question, then she finds out Jason only to find out right about the same time that Jason is having serious issues with his brain again. She has shouldered all of this stress without batting an eye because she loves Jason and would go through it all if it meant she got to be with Jason. AND NOW he wants to be a jerk because she was trying to protect him?!?! Oh Jason, you have so much to learn about love.

The Truth Always Comes Out
Sam would die to protect Jason. Sam would give her life for Jason in a heart beat. She would not even think twice about it. So why wouldn't she hold the truth about Robin far from Jason before she is ABSOLUTELY sure Jason can handle it. Sam is running around frantic trying to protect Jason by baring Carly and everyone from saying a thing. She'll do anything to protect him even if it means doing something that might make him resent her for life. But he has to understand (and he will in time) that she was only trying to protect him and keep him safe. Sam is being very true to her character right now because she would walk thru fire for Jason. Sam would easily give her own life just to keep him safe. Jason will see that eventually.
In the meantime, he is going to get so mad and angry with her. Sam is doing something Jason has done for her in the past. She was angry when he made decisions for her too. However, the difference here is Sam was told any stress would kill Jason and this terrified her to the core. Jason will lash out at Sam and I fear he will unload on her but this will be the grief talking. In time Sam will also know this is just the grief talking.
Carly is no doubt the worst person tell Jason about Robin. But after reading twitter I was afraid I would only want to scream after watching. However, Carly wasn't as awful as I thought she could be. Yes, she whined and whined how she was banned etc. AND she did tell Jason Sam has been lying to him for days. But at least the truth is out now. Jason knows. I do hate Carly sometimes. She didn't even bother to check on Jason's condition before she dropped the bomb knowing it was the type of news that could kill him. But that is Carly! So true to her character she decided to jump in there and tell Jason. But the truth is out.
Now that the truth is out, it will need to be dealt with. But it is out just the same. I always hear that saying 'the truth will set up free'. Free isn't exactly the term I would use here. But the truth will come out eventually and when it does life can move on. Life can move forward, forward for good or forward for the worst but it will move forward. So at least the storyline will move forward and this is what we want. Things to move forward.
Life will move forward for everyone ...well except for Robin. Robin is gone. Her funeral was heart breaking and all of the flashbacks were so beautiful and amazing. So much classic footage of an amazing 30 years with Robin. A true tribute to Robin and it was wonderful and so sad to watch. But the funeral also gave everyone closure so that lives can begin to move forward. When someone dies young it makes us all angry and the story lines surrounding Robin's life will most likely touch on this. But hopefully it will also touch on the fact sometimes death makes you realize how to live life to the fullest. How to be grateful for it all and to see the beauty in getting to live everyday. I hope Jason also realized and eventually gets to this point too and is grateful he and Sam are having a child and everyday with Sam is a gift.
Keep watching!

My Own Private Hell
There is very little happiness these days on General Hospital. A show starved of joy and happiness but it does make for good drama sadly enough. The citizens of Port Charles are battling their own personal hells as of late.
Kate is in her own personal hell trying to figure out what the hell she is doing wearing old bloody wedding dress. I think Kate is as coocoo as they come but the fact she is wearing her old wedding dress from 2008 she is clearly in need of some help. Clearly she is living in a hell that she hasn't moved on from in the past 4 years. The only person who can see how loony Kate has become is Olivia. However, I don't think any of us know how freaking nutz Kate really is yet. She is one crazy chick. So what if it wasn't Sonny who shot Anthony's car up my money is on Kate. I think she is also the one who shot Sonny in the parking garage. Maybe in the past 4 years while Kate's been wearing her old bloody wedding dress she has also been going to the firing range? Think about it. It would make sense.
Speaking of crazy chicks, good old Helena is unleashing her latest fresh slice of hell on her most recent victims out on Spoon Island. Holly rushing in just as Luke or Ethan were to get shot was convenient and very calculate. Almost too convenient was her latest news of Ethan's paternity. Is Ethan a Scorpio or a Spencer? My money is on Scorpio because Nathan's contract is up and he isn't renewing it. But who knows what this story has in it's future. I did enjoy seeing Holly, Helena and Luke on the same screen together again though. I know Helena's a crazy old witch but gosh she is good and I love seeing her.
I have very little interest in these OLTL characters and their presents on GH. However, Starr will have to deal with her own hell when it comes to finding out about Cole (her boyfriend) and Hope (her child). I never watched OLTL very much. I didn't follow the story of the Mannings at all. I watched Natalie and John here and there other then that I had no interest in the show. I just know that poor girl will have a horrible hell to deal with when she wakes up and finds out. For Michael this reminds him of his own personal hell he has already been living of losing Abby. Michael's hell has been upon him for months now. Perhaps this will help him deal with his own hell.
No one can be going through more of their own personal hell then Anna, Robert and Patrick right now. Anna had to do the unthinkable today. She had to tell Robert their daughter was killed in an explosion. Robert wanted to poke holes in this story but there was little room for error in this situation. Robin was in the lab where Maxie, Matt and even Patrick all knocked things over in the lab. There was very little room for this to be a calculated mistake and Robin is really alive. Watching Anna having to tell Robert and his reaction was an amazing scene but the most tragic one of the day.
For Patrick he did the thing he had to do. He injected the medicine into Jason's brain. He saved Jason's life. While Patrick truly struggled with saving Jason's life but he saw Robin's ghost and knew he had to do the right thing. Robin would never forgive him is he had let Jason die at his hands. He knew that. But once Patrick saved Jason and fought with Sam for the 40th time in that day, Patrick didn't know what to else to do. Fighting with Sam at least kept him talking but once that was over, once he realized Sam was never trying to be insensitive or evil for asking him to do the surgery, he was washed over with the reality of everything. Patrick finally heard Sam when she said she was truly sorry Robin was gone and that Jason was truly grateful. But after all of that Patrick could not even stand when he realized it was all over. He has nothing left to do but try to live in this hell and try to go on. Who should find Patrick in this extremely tragic state but the no nonsense head nurse that challenges Patrick on EVERYTHING, Epiphany. Today this scene had me in tears between these two. Epiphany wasn't there to tell Patrick he was a rich spoiled arrogant doctor that needed to do something. Today she was there to give him the only advice he could hear. Epiphany knows loss far too well. She explained to Patrick how he was going to go on. Epiphany told Patrick what he needed to hear, 'You'll find the strength'. 'Do whatever it takes to keep her {Emma} going because that will keep you going too'. 'Patrick, you are a good man with a lot of good left to do in this world. You can't let anything stop you, not even this.' I have watched that scene about 5 times now. It was the most touching scene I have seen in a very long time.
I have still seen the Sam bashing out there over all of this. Sam is doing the exact thing Patrick would have done if Robin was sick. Sam is doing the exact thing Robin would have done if Patrick was sick and she is also doing the exact thing Jason would have done if Sam was sick. Sam is fighting to keep Jason alive. Sam loves Jason more then anything and she will do anything to keep him alive. That is not wrong that is just a testament to her love for him and their amazing love. Sam never wanted Robin to die. Robin and Sam were friends. Sam respected Robin greatly and honored her past with Jason. Sam honored Jason and Robin's friendship. She did not throw Robin into the lab, she is not responsible for this. She only asked Patrick to save Jason which is what Robin died trying to do. She only asked a husband to honor his dead wife's last wishes.
Keep watching! Call, comment, do it all. Try to remain positive! Remember Grandmother's advice, you catch a lot more flies with honey then you do vinegar. Try it!
