While the current landscape of the show has me captivated, I
have been spending my time reliving the past with a glance back to 2006. A
quick search on YouTube will lead you to a playlist titled Jasam 2006, with all
of Jason and Samanta’s clips from then.
Recall, this year saw some twists and changes that
ultimately helped shape the future.
Jason took over the business from Sonny in an effort to
protect his sister Emily, who was dating Sonny at the time. Really, the turmoil
that #Sason went through together honestly gives
a whole new meaning to their brotherhood, and how they always have each other's
back no matter what.
Now recall that in the midst of that, Sam and Jason both got
shot, which saw Jason try to push Sam away in order to protect her – which then
saw her drunken state sleep with Ric Lancing, which he saw and slept with
Elizabeth. We all know that led to Jake.
Do I blame Jason for hurting Sam? Nope, he was trying to
protect her and fear blinded to confusion. Do I blame Sam for sleeping with
Ric? While not the best choice in men – she could’ve chose someone else, I
don’t blame her out of the pain that she was feeling. And then do I blame Jason
for sleeping with Elizabeth? He could’ve waited and approached Sam first, but
emotions high at the time – combined with a past with her, and you can easily
see that happening.
But I digress since we saw how Sam and Jason eventually came
back together, stronger than ever. Truthfully, maybe they both needed this to
understand each other more, and truly realize how much their love is worth. Her
words then telling Jason to fight for
their love, fight to be together, notice how much they care and how
"they'll always love each other." Gives me faith that we'll see them
fight and find their way together now, too. #jasam #stelly #GH
In some ways, there are things back here that really could
relate to today – if say you’re in real life, you reflect back to previous
lessons and this would be where Jason could look back. Carly's lecture for Jason in August 2006 matches so many things
happening now. The fact that when it comes to fear, he runs because he can't
battle it. He's afraid of never reconnecting with Sam now so he's remaining
quiet. Carly needs to crack his shell again #jasam #stelly #GH. One of the
most telling quotes from this time between Carly and Jason had to be when she
said, “I can look at your face & see
what's going on. Everybody looks at you & sees this unreadable block of
cemenet. But I can look at your eyes, Jason, and see that you're in pain."
This time also saw the Manny chapter finally come to a
conclude, too – but nobody wants to talk about sick freaks. Well, except Franco
but that’s only due to him being constantly shoved down our throats.
Despite the chaos, there were some fun scenes – and a whole
new respect gained for Max. Personally, I love Max’s character and how he is,
and his relationship as referenced to Diane. There was the time that he had me
in laughs, too. "I even tried to go
into therapy, but I can't stop thinking about it. The kangaroo, the yacht, the
money." And then Sonny’s reaction when he entered about Max drinking?
Completely priceless. Truthfully,
@GeneralHospital needs to give him more fun stuff like this. And where did the
random kangaroo note come from?
