General Hospital - March 8, 2018 Episode Reflections (and then some)

It was so hard to just wrap my head around the episode with Jason and Sam apart, and Dream back together after the confessions from Wednesday. I just want to keep going back and watching that over and over, and counting the days in anticipation for the true reunion together.

I mean, reflecting back a little, it was magical on all levels - from the words spoken to the actions taken. As soon as their eyes locked together after they realized they were okay, you could tell that she had a realization immediately. Like, "What if it that had been the end and I never got to tell you how I truly feel?"

I laugh at some saying the scene was forced, too. I call the complete opposite. I saw Steve Burton and Kelly Monaco rekindling the chemistry and magic that made them the best soap couple from the beginning. Just look into their eyes and simple hand motions. No words needed. Really, those who may not agree are just denying that they were forced to watch their boy be pinned down by a freezer door, and feel awkward about their little itty bitty navy seal being saved by a serial crazy person.

Okay, I've been mean enough to Drew between yesterday and today, I'll move forward....

March 8 Episode

As soon as Sam said she went out with Jason, it's like Drew's whole demeanor changed. Almost like he knows before she says it. But really? That's it? We're just going to confess our love and go back to our usual lives? 
It was interesting how at first Sam didn't even mention Franco, or the trailer. How long is confessing what happened going to take? A relationship with secrets is so lovely. But really, it took Drew recounting the tale of how Franco saved him for Sam's first mention of the freak with her saying, "Wow, there's such thing as karma. Franco wouldn't been there to save you if Jason and I hadn't saved him." Anybody notice the WTF look on Drew's face afterwards?

I could've spit when Sam said, "You know, it's actually crazy. Its like the first time I'm actually grateful for Franco." But let's be honest, she should've went on to add, "Not only did he save your life Drew, but he let me see just how much I love Jason and want to be with him" because seriously, I want to see that man's face when she speaks of confessions. Hearing Sam be 'grateful' for Franco though is actually disgusting. Great show continuing to prop the rapist.
Should I laugh at Drew saying, "All my wishes have come true because I have everything that I want." I cant wait until it's ripped away. I mean, Drew's comment, "I think we do a good job of taking care of each other" is just as laughable, though. Then where's Sam's voice in the relationship? Why does she have to always be guarded with her feelings? Why is she lying to you right now about how she truly feels?

When Sam said, "When we get home, we really need to talk," you can say that the anticipation for tomorrow just kicked up a notch. Really, she probably is set to go about revelaing it as she couldn't stand seeing Jason walk away, again.
It was great to hear Carly say, "I've seen Nelle's true colors. No attack of Braxton Hicks is going to change that." I was a little worried about the whole demeanor changing after she coached her. That said, I hope Carly sticks by those words because we know Nelle. She'll make you feel comfortable and then attack again.

I laughed at Jason asking, "If Nelle could go back and change everything, would she?" But then I laughed harder when Michael replied, "I think she would." Even though he's putting that wall up, that door of opportunity needs to be closed. Why can't he get that she will drop kick it open and take advantage? Why can't they find out that she was behind those phone calls?

Jason is right that Carly has "has good instincts, and you should trust them." I hope Michael does because I don't need this #melle door opening bigger than it is. After all, Carly proved those instincts  with her thoughts on #jasam right? But now Jason turning that into advice for Michael in saying, "Go with your instincts, and don't let anyone talk you out of those" scares me because sometimes he wants to open the door to Nelle and she doesn't deserve that opportunity.

But really, I will give him credit - his face in learning that Nelle is moving into the Quartermaines is everything. The instincts are on full charge.

Nice job Michael in dropping, "She's been saying all along that you and Sam belong together, so maybe she's on to something." I think so, too. We just need Drew to wake up and learn the truth.

But for now, Jason is just going to continue waiting, continuing to not push the envelope. And that's fine because he knows when Sam does come around and tell the truth, the #JaSamReunion2018 will be worth everything. Let's hope sooner than later please.
I'm actually shocked that Sonny would want to send his father back to Brooklyn after the diagnosis. That said, Carly's scenes with Sonny are everything, today. Love the tender touch to their relationship in how Carly is doing everything she can for him. Really, Mike was absolutely spot on with his emotions, too. These scenes right here captured everything.

Sure, Peter may be concerned about Maxie and the baby - but let's face it. He's probably been thinking about it more than that. We know you're worried that you got the genes.

I took a nice deep breath when Maxie said, "After he did God knows right to Jason and Drew, maybe he has it. Wouldn't that be justice?" I hope Maxie keeps pushing these buttons and forces an outburst from Peter to reveal the truth. I can't wait until he does and see Maxie's reaction. I mean, she's drawing closer in wondering at times about his questions as she even asked, "Why does it matter to you?" Truthfully, I think Peter wants to know whether Maxie's baby has it or not to try and give him a clue to his own future.

By the way, thank you for the confirmation once again by #GH that Peter is her son. We get it, show. We don't need the constant hints. Let's get the story moving along. And for the record, Anna, they probably let the baby go due to Faison. He could be very threatening after all.

So Andre is obviously right in saying that Valentine didn't "want you to find your son." But based on what we know so far, Valentine's involvement in this is like wtf? Why stick him in the Faison situation?

Moving Forward..... 

I actually wonder if she's going to reveal that she's been lying all along in knowing that Jason was Jason from day 1, or whether she's going just start with the love connection when she does tell Drew about what happened - if she even does to begin with.

Personally when they have the discussion, I think she tells Drew about most of what happened including the fact that she and Jason talked. She could even admit that perhaps she has feelings, and isn't sure what to do moving forward. Then we enter the phase of Drew overtrying for her affection, growing jealous of Jason.

I mean, I just want that discussion but let's face it - Drew's head is going to explode when he finds out his #dream is over and it'll be perfect.

And if those two don't reunite soon enough, let's take bets that she spends quite a bit of time at his new place, getting to know his couch, saying that she needs to either drop or pick up Danny.

I actually see this happening, too, as a reunion doesn't seem immediate with Jason saying, "But no matter what, I know that you love me. Sam, I love you. That's all it is. That's enough." It's like they're both set to wait until they settle what's going on with Franco for Drew, and get his memories back so he has some foundation before they shatter his world. I mean Sam even admits something in relation to this by saying, "I couldn't say anything cause I couldn't hurt him." But how much longer are you going to avoid hurting Drew and give up your own happiness? How much longer are you going to make Jason wait for what he's been longing for?

Then The Previews....

Of course, all of that came out before the previews - which have Drew and Sam more than likely being stopped on the way home by Jim Harvey. Imagine that right? Another reason for this to be dragged out further. Kill me now. 

Let's see - after this discussion, there's probably going to be some reason why it doesn't come out. Porbably Sam will feel bad for Drew's childhood admission, not wanting to shatter his world further, and probably will continue babying him just like she said she originally lied due to his own happiness. Continued sacrifice happens until the disco ball is found. 

It's almost like a responsibility for being a cause of this and guilt make her then say to Drew, "I love him, but I love you, too, and I'm not sure who I love more. But I want to be here for you..." and carry that love forward more, creating further angst?

Then of course, she can go back to Jason and say, "I love you, I want a life with you, but what about Drew? Where does he go from here?" Of course, Jason may say something like, "He can take care of himself.." since he has before, creating Sam to ask, "Are you sure? I mean, maybe we should help him locate his past, or something....." Then it's sets up drama in #jasam looking 4 answers. Sam wants it as therapy for his guilt, and Jason - he will want it to make her feel better, because we've already caught his drift about his brother a couple times.

Future Spoiler

It'll be interesting to see how far it is dragged out, as the spoilers for the coming weeks are interesting. March 19 is spoiled by Sam "making a discovery." Does Sam discover that Peter is indeed Faison's son, or find the disco ball in Peter's office?

Of course then March 20 says "Sam catches a break" followed by Drew's "instincts going into overdrive" the next day. Thinking Sam discovers something in relation with Peter (his connection or the ball), or catches some time with Jason that is uninterrupted once again. Maybe the break could be away from both men, or discovering something with Drew's past. Drew then suspects #jasam connection.

For the record, I'm 100% set on them finding that damn disco ball and implanting those memories back into Drew's head. I've heard enough about it. I'm all for #jasam getting to move on with their lives. I'm ready for their new adventures, raising Danny together, and whatever is in their future. But knowing #GH, they're going to want to drag this out as long as possible so it probably won't be that simple.

Another Spoiler....

So if you've read the magazines, it's revealed that someone else finds out about the Jason love fest before Sam has a chance to tell Drew herself, putting another wrench into something.

Immediately, we all think of Carly because let's face it - Jason tells her practically everything. Now, watch Carly open up about it to the wrong way and boom, here we go. But of course if that happens, Sam will simply say she chooses Drew just to piss Carly off in her ways. 

Really, it'd be interesting if they chose someone other than Carly to get a hold of the information for a change.

....and then comes the other spoiler thought, in people hearing that Elizabeth spills all the beans after she is told the truth.  

Really, Elizabeth's love life is a mess and center of discussion (and rightfully so because it is screwed up). Maybe she says something to try and get everyone off of her back, and maybe with heartbreak for Franco and leaving her, she reverts back to #Lake memories and wants rekindle. Okay, okay, that's just me trying to break up Friz haha But actually, remember how Elizabeth regretted everything about the Drew/Jason situation before? Could that prompt now?

Do I really blame dragging this out further? Nope, because I get where the show is coming from. The writers want to play off both fan bases and the ratings that they believe will come out of it. But as they always say - the relationships that come with the most work are the ones that last the longest on soaps and are worth it in the end. Look at #carson before, and now look at #jasam now.

General Hospital - March 7, 2018 Episode Reflections


So for the record, today's @GeneralHospital was everything that a #jasam fan could ask for, and then some. If we thought Monday and Tuesday were good, it did nothing to compare to today. 

Let's just say this - it took an earthquake to shake her out of her #dream that she was having - more like a nightmare being away from her true love.

Seeing Jason and Sam work together to get to safety is everything. Jason coaching her, telling her what she needs to do, reaching to grab her to safety. I mean, her simply asking, "What are we supposed to do?" says enough. Like always, she puts her trust and safety into his hands.
Jason is right in saying, "Come on Sam, you're strong, you don't panic" because you never saw that side of her with him. It was always ying and yang, Of course, she answered that back perfectly in saying he had never seen her panic "because I've never panicked when I was with you." She could always trust and know that she was safe no matter what, because he'd take care of her - just like now.


Jason and Sam jumping out of the trailer, holding hands, is everything - just as good as Jason laying on Sam protecting her is soap perfection. Oh, and did anyone notice that longing look from her eyes to his? She's having that moment!!!!! I said it would probably take a life or death event to shake Sam to the core and make her damn well realize that she needs to act on her feelings, and here we are. You can send my commission check in the mail, General Hospital.
So by the way, that confession from Sam was everything! That was everything that we've been waiting for. The #JaSamReunion2018 is here and I'm on the train ready to lead into station. That was just amazing. Thank you, Sam.

Her starting off by saying, "I need to tell you something. I knew it was you. Jason I knew it was you that night on the pier, and when you came into my hospital room that next day. I knew it was you, you didn’t even have to say anything and my eyes were closed and I knew it was you and I couldn’t"  was perfect. It proves that Carly was right all along.


Then she goes, "I told you to keep your distance, but I didn't mean that. Everyday I hoped I ran into you" and they certainly have spent a lot of time together since then. But her finishing that speech of by saying, "I don't care if I'm not supposed to be saying this, but I love you. I never stopped loving you" was everything.

Her being honest with her feelings was honestly refreshing after all the coddling that she'd done for Drew over the past several months. It'll be nice to see her be totally honest with him, too, as it shows she's ready to move forward - like she told Jason about Franco.

But really, she's been close to straight up honest whenever she sees Jason about her feelings so far, versus having to keep them guarded due to fear of Drew lashing out of his own anger. Isn't it just great?
Jason saying, "I love you, and I didn't say it until now because I didn't want to pressure you" was perfectly fitting. It goes by his code. He doesn't want to push anyone to make any decisions, letting everybody do what they want to live their life. He learned that the hard way back in 2006/2007 era. Really, that's love right there. The ability to sacrifice your own happiness because all you want is for your true love to be happy. But also, he knew that she'd come around eventually because let's face it, you can't deny him forever.

His way of accepting her apology was perfect with, "You didn't do this. It was done to all of us - and there is no clean way out. But no matter what, I know that you love me. Sam, I love you. That's all it is. That's enough." Just beautiful and soapy. Cue the teary emotions right here.

And while the dialogue was perfect, you also have to give credit for character positioning by both Steve Burton and Kelly Monaco. Their positions together, in perfect hold, eyes focused - that just made this scene that much better. The words from both of their mouths may have been everything, but the small movements and hands just made it convene together perfectly.

By the way, this right here is why you can never make me ever go against Jason Morgan, and why that man has captured my soap heart for years. Thank you Steve Burton for coming home, and thank you for bringing that endearing love back again.

FYI - you cannot deny the full reunion is coming now, either. I mean, Sam admitted that she made mistakes in staying with Drew, and that she still loves Jason and has always loved him, and the fact that she wanted to see him as much as humanly possible despite creating distance. What else can I say that spells true love and a reunion? But those that may say she was caught up in the moment and having her life saved that she spewed words that she'll regret later - that's the farthest thing from the truth because the signs have always been there, and those quotes reaffirm any doubts.

However, if you still don't believe this, that's fine. Live in your delusional #dream world while the rest of us wake up from the nightmare. They'll wake up eventually when we have #jasam making love in the best fashion possible, as we know they make great scenes as that.

Okay, on to the rest of the show now.....


I was honestly surprised that Kim and Dante just left Drew now in the freezer trapped. You'd think there'd be some gratefulness considering everything that he did to save her son. But no, instead, it was like total focus on her own son. I mean, I get it because the danger he is in and such - but what about being thankful, grateful, and returning that favor?

I mean, she even went as far to express her gratitude to Oscar in saying, "Tonight you needed your father and he was there. If I made different choices, he could've always been there....." But yet you seem so worried about the fact that you left him pinned under a freezer door. I mean, when she said, "I'm going to go for a walk, stretch my legs...." I was thinking that maybe she'd go check on the man that helped save her son's life.

Really, Julian was set to do more than she was willing to do in offering to go help, and asking where he was. I mean, you think she would've given the information especially in saying, "I don't know if they're going to make it in time" but instead you give him reason to stay there instead.
At least Dante went back after - but did he really have to take Franco with him? With that in mind, I was surprised how Franco just stood back there. Franco should be thankful he's damn alive. You think that'd give him damn reason to do more for Drew than what he is right now. But instead, like an ungrateful ass, he just stands there saying, "How about we call the fire department?" His life wasn't worth saving.

Now I know it probably would've been easier to just let Drew die, but as much as I despise Drew at times, I am glad that Dante went back for him. Besides, I want Drew's reaction when he sees the #JaSamReunion2018 happen. It wasn't lost on me either that they didn't have a cubicle free for Drew. That shows his relevance to just leave him in the hall.

Moving on, I also felt that Kim was being a little forceful too right now about Jocelyn seeing Oscar considering the pair were froze together to begin everything. Where's the compassion?

On the flip side, I love Oscar as it was nice to hear him ask, "Can you go check on him? I really want to make sure he's okay?" Glad that Oscar showed more love for Drew than Kim was able to.

I'm glad that Jim got called out for his "frackling" and I can't wait until he's fully exposed. It's always fun in watching him try to cover-up for being in the cause in saying, "All of my heavy equipment is at your disposal." He wants to always seem like Mr. Perfect when he's a total ass. I mean, I can't recall who exactly said it (I think Jordan surprisingly) in saying, "You can't cause an earthquake unless you go deeper than that, fracking...." Now recall, that goes with those plans that Curtis stole that didn't look right. This writes itself.

Of course Julian helped save Molly. It's the beginning of the next chapter in the #julexis arc. I mean, you could tell in Alexis saying, "Actually, it was a big deal to me. TJ wouldn't have been able to get her out without your help, so thank you...." It'll be enough for #julexis to reunite eventually, you watch.

I almost puked when Franco said, "I need a shower. Feel free to join me." Doesn't Franco realize that Elizabeth has a job to do? And when they did give that shower scene? You could say those puking reactions were really coming true 100%.

Previews

So Sam told Drew that she was with Jason during the earthquake. I hope she divulges every single detail for him, too. 

"Your mother has good instincts. If I was you, I would trust them." Otherwise - stop loving, Nelle. 

....for the record, I hope that the Jason and Sam kiss is tomorrow because I won't be able to watch Friday's episode until probably Saturday night due to @MotoramaShow and work. (fair warning)  But I would like to see it play out by sealing with a kiss, talk about their love a little more, and then agree that they should be checked out given the "fall" from the jump. Hence ending up at the hospital face-to-face with Drew.

General Hospital - March 5&6, 2018 Episode Reflections

March 5, 2018


For the first episode after the earthquake, it was quieter than normal. But it was still not too bad.

The way that Jason automatically went into protective mode for her was just beautiful.

So Sam asking Jason, "Can you take me to town on your bike?" was something that we all knew the answer before anything was stated. Sam knows that Jason will say yes as he'd always do anything for her, even if he countered it at first.

The best though was when Sam said, "I have to get to the Floating Rib. I have to make sure Drew is okay," and Jason responded, "Drew can take care of himself." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ But of course, he did give in for the reasons stated above. That said, does Sam leaving her kids to check on her grown husband seem right to anybody? It just seems strange.... 
Jason's perfect responses continued as he was right in saying, "Yeah I do," when Sam told him that he didn't have to go with her. It's obvious that Jason wants to do whatever to keep her safe. 

I actually laughed at Liz staying at the church, and then said, "What the fuck?" I mean, I know that she knows her boys are with Bobbie in an area supposedly not hit that hard - but you think she'd want to at least check on them to be certain. I mean, her boys are supposed to be her whole world right?

And of course they had to play a #friz montage during the earthquake. Excuse me while I ๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคข.
You'd think Sonny would've put one of his guards on Mike so he couldn't just run around town.

Really, I had a lot of WTF moments during this episode. I mean, you have Jordan babying Curtis at the hospital rather than doing her own business at the police station? 

March 6, 2018 

So @GeneralHospital was actually pretty good today. The reasoning for what happened was actually explained in most ways.

I almost screamed when Franco said, "You can't leave me here, because that'd be against your code." I mean, it's like he's twisting his thoughts in his head all over again - just like all those years. And really, given what you did to him for years, Franco, it'd be a good time to go against his code.

That said, I could just repeat the scene over and over where Jason ragged on Franco. I mean, that's been a long, long time coming, in having someone that threatening throwing back in his face what he did - especially with that much force, power, rage, and anger behind those words. It made me take a step back listening to it. Jason finishing it off with, "They will never forget what you did to them. I told you that you would pay" was perfect.

I still remember his screams from when he was locked in the room forced to watch the video - haunting in themselves. And then how he held her, comforted her, wanting to make her feel better. To see those emotions relayed back again on his face were everything....

As much as I want to see him move on (continue reading to see where this goes), I would be all here for payback considering the force of what he did.
So when it was spoiled that Jason and Sam would save Franco, the anger was evident and of course, trying to reason how the hell this was possible was discussed. SEE PREVIOUS ENTRY FOR THOUGHT PROCESS. Now having seen it play out, I can actually appreciate Jason doing what he did - only because of the way Sam put it. Her stating, "I would rather see Franco live, then keep a secret about how he died" was perfect. Could you imagine Jason having to look Jake in the eye afterwards if something happened? 

Sam even touched upon that in saying, "What would Jake say if he disappeared or died? Jake will be old enough one day to understand, and it will be his choice to choose what he does with it."  Really, I can't wait to the day that Jake finds out everything, and I hope he turns his back on Franco and Liz right away.

That said, Jason's stare at Franco was everything after he did save him. We are far from over - possibly.
The advice from Sam to Jason was perfect in, "you can get stuck in the past, or you can choose to move on and live the best life that you can" surrounding Franco. But let's face it - it's hard to move on when that person is there reminding you everyday of what happened, and the fact of length of what happened. Now if Sam was able to be there and help Jason move forward, that would be nice to watch. 
....and there's the aftershock. Excuse my #jasam heart while it beats a little faster until tomorrow afternoon.
.....I will say, I didn't realize how much this touched back to five years ago until this tweet - but once again, General Hospital finds another way to touch upon our Jasam hearts.
Beautiful scene with Elizabeth and Mike. Why can't they give her more stuff like that, versus being with Franco in a love that doesn't make sense? That said, I can't believe that Elizabeth stayed waiting in the church for Franco that long. Also, for the record, if my man walked in late for my wedding, I'd be demanding an answer and explanation and reasons rather than immediately sharing in kisses.

Carly actually demanding that Nelle gets checked out is a surprise - maybe having them spend that time together was actually a breakthrough. Of course, we know how Nelle works and this won't last for certain.

General Hospital - March 3, 2018 Episode Reflections

In short, General Hospital was everything today. As a Jason fan, it had a bit of everything you could want in a day. I can't wait until Monday now. 

#Jarly #Melle

It is adorable and nice amidst all the drama to see the family side touched, with Jason spending time with Carly's kids as Carly gives Oscar the "talk." For the record, Carly is aced it with Oscar about the dance - just as much as Jason is in being an Uncle to Jocelyn. But he is right, she is certainly Carly's daughter.

Jason is right in saying, "When Jocelyn wants something, she's relentless...." but you have to chuckle at Carly being the worried parent in saying, "I know, and that's what scares me."  The fun that we could have as Jocelyn grows up could be interesting.

That said, the Jarly relationship was everything. My heart swelled when Carly said, "I don't want her making my mistakes, going after the wrong things, and hurting herself. I was 10 years older than she was. What would I had done if you weren't there?" Carly is right in saying that Jason may be too easy on her at times, but come on - that's the dynamic of their friendship as he's her ride or die no matter what. His response to that comment was perfect in saying, "I don't care what everyone thinks. You're a great mom. Jocelyn is going to make mistakes, but everybody makes mistakes. That's how you are diff from Nelle. You learn from your mistakes - Nelle doesn't." The man doesn't speak much at times, but his advice is always spot on.

So of course, Carly going to see Nelle right after was everything. I'm glad that she called her out on the Jocelyn fact again in saying, "You're using Jocelyn to get to Michael, and that ends now..." Just wish she knew about the phone calls.

Nelle's dress stealing excuse that, "What does it matter? Crimson has tons of dresses. I was trying to do something nice....." was a little ridiculous. Kind of like a kid saying that it's okay to steal candy from the grocery store because there's lots on the stuff. But Carly hit it right back out of the park in saying, "You were playing her to get to Michael, and that's trashy and pathetic - just like you." Personally, I could listen to Carly ride Nelle's ass all day.

I laughed at Nelle saying, "All of these years holding Michael underneath your thumb have come back to bite you. It's going to chase him away right into my arms." In your dreams, Nelle. You're forgetting that anything that frustrates Carly gets someone's attention and he will make you pay.

#JosCar #Dream #Krew

Speaking Oscar, way to go for standing up for your girl - even if maybe not in the best way possible. As soon as I saw the dress ruined, my first thought was please to be confirmed stolen by Nelle with it being ruined so she will get in kaka big time from Nina.
I also hate to joke about what happened, but hey, Jocelyn has a built in Halloween costume now..... 

Speaking of the dance, I may not be a #dream fan, but Drew got some dance moves with Sam. But let's just also add that we learned from the dance that #Krew has great chemistry, and it should be great to see that grow some more with the earthquake.

No surprise that they got #JosCar to be trapped in the freezer for the earthquake. I mean, who goes there for time alone especially at a dance you're hosting together?  .....That said, can you imagine Carly's imagination and reaction when she finds out? 

 #Melle #Mason

Least Nelle is right in saying, "I don't have any family...." because she keeps chasing them away with her craziness. Of course, for whom will take care of baby if something was to happen, that leaves Michael's - how nice. When Nelle said, "You cannot be seriously thinking of your mother" I almost wanted Michael to respond that he was to see her reaction. It'd be fun to see her spaz out of control again.

That said, when he actually replied, "I actually have someone else in mind," I immediately thought of Jason. He knows that Jason would be caring from his own experience. It really honors the father-son relationship that they built over the years and showcases it. the simple chemistry and relationship between Jason and Michael through that was amazing. It's great to hear them talk about the past together.
#Jasam #Jasamiel 

Anybody remember the spoiler that said fate would bring Jason and Sam back together? Welp, "fate" did a good job in putting both Jason and Sam at the Quartermaine Mansion as they came for different reasons. "Fate" has a good way of having a big event happen, resulting in close kindling. "Fate" has a great way of allowing them to see our #JaSamReunion2018 happen.

When Sam said, "Drew is still there, so if you want to say good night to Danny before I go home...." was putting me off a little. I know Drew was disjointed in the last meeting due to being forgotten in the car, but come on now. Basically we're at the point where Jason can only see Danny because Drew isn't there with Sam? That seems fishy. I mean, I get that Drew is an ass to Jason but that shouldn't result barrier for Jason/Danny.
I laughed at Sam saying, "What? No! That'd never be fair. Having the dog and you? I'll never get him home" as it was just the perfect response. That said, excuse me while I eat up that smile, happiness, banter......

Love how Jason wrapped his arms around Sam to lead her to safety at the beginning of the earthquake.
....so the spoilers now say that Jasam is supposed to save Franco as part of this earthquake storyline, and I addressed that hugely yesterday. I'm not going to repeat that all over again, except I will add this....

You can thank Drew for this mess. The gifts from Drew's decisions just keep on giving for Jason. It sucks that now Jason has to play "nice" to the man who tormented him for years for the sake of his kid Jake, because Drew as Jason allowed Franco to raise him with Liz, despite having all the memories.
That said, this earthquake should be everything we need for a reunion. Probably seeing that she almost lost him again, almost lost that chance to rekindle, and seeing how great of a team they are, she realizes that she truly can't give up anymore time and needs to rekindle.

 Valentine

Valentine may not be my favorite person but he's right in saying, "I think a pigeon could tell you he - Faison -  was deranged."

Franco/Jim #NoFriz

Jim saying, "I was there when Andy took his little fall down the stairs." didn't even surprise me. And of course Jim says that it was Franco that did it. You also have to love how he emphasizes his point in saying, "You wanted the truth? Don't say I didn't warn you. You pushed Andy down those stairs. You tried to kill him." Meanwhile, we all know that it's always the opposite of what someone says that happened - therefore confirming Harvey did it.

I mean, when Jim said, "I'll never forget the sound when he hit that basement floor," I was thinking well duh - you probably pushed him, and meant to do it yourself.

It also didn't surprise me that Jim wants it to be remain hidden, saying, "What you did to Drew was my secret. Now its ours. Nobody needs to know about this - not Drew, not your wife." If he was to say something, it's clear they'll all see through the loopholes.

But really, I can't feel too bad for Franco when he comes back with a line like, "Since the tumor has been removed, I have been able to control my violent impulses." Excuse me while I laugh for the rest of this episode now. That said, I didn't appreciate Jim's response with, "Maybe the tumor just enhanced what is inside. Maybe you were just born bad."  While Jim may be true on one level, hearing it from him makes me want to smack him esp if he was responsible for the stair incident. Can't believe I'd want to smack someone for Franco's sake though.

Jim repeating, "She doesn't have to know what you did" is ridiculous. We all know every story comes out in Port Charles. And then him adding, "I'm just trying to save you from yourself" was laughable. Making someone avoid their past certainly isn't accomplishing that.

That said, at least Franco has a brain here in replying, "I don't think anything you said is true. I don't think it happened that way. I think you're lying to me, again." There we go.....

Now with that out of the way, can we blame the earthquake on Jim Harvey? His digging went wrong....
I almost laughed at Liz saying, "I can handle it myself...." It's not like Elizabeth has been left at the alter before.

 #Jurtis

I wanted to smack Jordan when she said, "The more you say, the more you incriminate yourself" especially considering their dating relationship. But huge kudos to Curtis replying, "It's not about me. It's about our community." This man, we need to award him a medal. This is the Curtis that I fell in love with originally.

General Hospital - March 1, 2018 Episode Reflections


So General Hospital was more entertaining today than yesterday, but only because I can find millions of reasons to pick on Franco during this. 

 Frankly, here's my reaction to this episode and the Franco love......

I wasn't expecting that reaction from Franco with Drew in the stair well to have a panic attack, or really for Drew to comfort him. That said, I would've just let Franco fall down the stairs. Whoops....

By the way, isn't there irony in Sam's rapist being comforted by her husband? Yeah, great show......
Let me guess - General Hospital is going to have Franco tormented during all this time by supposedly pushing Drew, and Jim Harvey is actually the one responsible. All part of redeeming Franco, and all you get from me is a laugh because I'll never forget what he did. But hey, this is the way they're going because it's all about making their "pets" look good, and we know they've been trying to redeem Franco (and failing) from day one. Maybe they'll buy a clue after people don't buy the redemption routine once again this time.
I mean, rather than try redemption over and over, they should embrace this "villianess" side of him again because just think back to how good #GH was during that time, versus now. They could've really played off that well if they kept that going to this point, even with the twin story. You could've had Franco's obsession with Jason explained because he was trying to reconnect with Drew due to the past, and made sense to stalk Jason in looking alike. I mean, they would've turned #RogerHowarth into the star they wanted with ample screen time and sorry because of the focus on that again. Not every big star has to be a good guy ;)

By the way, Drew can be an ass to Julian but not Franco? That just seems odd. But I will say that in all of this, we learned that #Krew has decent chemistry. I think I can find where Drew lands after the #JaSamReunion2018.


Now speaking of Julian, we know the whole sewage issue is obviously something of Jim Harvey's making probably. That said, they really went overkill in Oscar not being able to find some place to host his party. I mean, I'm sure Oscar could've held it at the Metro Court on short notice. I mean, he's dating the owner's daughter. And okay, even if you can't have the Metro Court ballroom, there should be somewhere else at the hotel that they can have a party.

With that in mind, thank Gosh for Anna. You'd think other people in town - ahem Jocelyn's mom Carly - would've been a little more helpful in finding a spot. Then again, I can understand why Carly is currently distracted right now.
From Ava saying, "I guess he's just grateful that I helped his father."  to Griffin saying, "you were worried people wouldn't see you for who you are - kind...." I just wanted to laugh. I mean, I could honestly smack Griffin. The irony and how stupid he doesn't realize the truth to the blackmail that happened. With that in mind, Scott's jokes about Griffin are everything.

Kiki dragging her mother is everything. Can she please reveal all of this straight to Griffin?

That said, Scott's thoughts on Franco in saying "sometimes things should just stay buried" were pretty stupid. So Scott, Franco should be left alone despite tormenting the hell out of Jason for years, for making Sam seem she was raped, for locking someone in a dog's cage, for strapping both Sam and Lulu to bombs, tormenting Jocelyn, tormenting Carly, kidnapping one of Elizabeth's kids, etc.

Then Scott goes to Kevin, "If anything causes Franco to snap, I'm going to hold it against you." Sorry Kevin, but you're in for a world of hurt because we know that Franco will snap, whether your fault or not.
I was surprised to see one of Liz's other kids other than Jake finally showed up on screen. That said, I feel bad for Cam in believing that "I'm glad you have someone to put you first." It's completely the opposite as Franco had been self-centered for months. Let's be real when has Franco put Elizabeth first, though? Everything over the past month has been focused on Franco's demons, thoughts, and all this blah blah that nobody could care about.
Speaking of Liz, her being told "I know there's good in Franco. Otherwise, you wouldn't have offered your heart to him" was laughable. Instead, I just believe she's just delusional, which doesn't surprise me about Liz after her Franco speech to Jason.

You can tell that the love is still there between Finn and Anna. I mean, even separated, Finn is dropping truth bombs with "she's literally two steps ahead of us mortals." You're telling me that #fanna can't be together, but look at these scenes. Their chemistry is just riveting off the screen. I mean, Anna's letdown of Finn walking away says enough for me..... 

BTW Jordan getting fired would be a blessing. It's not like she does her job anyway. But with all this talk of an earthquake for Friday, is Jim going to blow up the town looking for gold or oil underneath?
After all this discussion about Franco, let's remind ourselves as to why we tune in....


That's better now :)

But I will say, there's an interesting spoiler that I've come to realize for the earthquake that supposedly Jason will save Franco. Laughable considering everything that's happened, but we all know how General Hospital operates. That said, there could be some rhyme and reason here. See below....
I'm sure the only reason that Jason saves Franco is (if he even does) because of Jake.....
4) He knows the bond they have, and wants to build a friendship with his son.
5) He wants Jake to learn one day the truth to Franco, but knows respecting innocence of a child.
Even with this spoiler that may or may not be true, I am still ready for the upcoming storyline.

General Hospital - February 28, 2018 Episode Reflections

So today's episode was better than yesterday's, but it's still lacking that real reason to tune in. Hopefully the drama for the second half of the week does the trick.

For now, though, here are some thoughts to consider......

So Kevin says for Franco that "its in the past. Close this chapter and focus on a new one." The problem is Franco can't let go of his past, and the wounds of his torture still haunt those whom he went after - especially since he can't find it in his own way to show remorse for his actions.

That said, Franco is going too far with his comments - even about Drew here. Drew wouldn't be asking all those questions if Franco wasn't acting weird around him to begin with. Franco is bringing all this on himself - and it's lovely to see him in a way tormented in his mind after the time he spent tormenting Jason. Karma, she's a wonderful bitch.

That's why the whole thought of Drew and Franco working together was very laughable from Kevin. That said, Franco is right in his point of "who focuses on a rabbit's foot?" as Drew probably knows more than he'll say - but that's another topic all together. I've addressed that previously.

As soon as Sonny said at "whatever cost" to Ava, you had to know Avery would become the discussion point. That said, I was surprised that Ava didn't ask for more in return. But make no mistake, I ate every part of Kiki chewing her out up. I can't wait until Griffin sees this side of Ava eventually.

I almost chuckled at Sam asking Monica to watch the kids. Of course she would as she watches them all the time it seems.

I can't believe Rita is just backing out like that as recall she wanted to do whatever it took to help Mike when Sonny was visiting them. That said, I can understand the stage of denial and wanting to run because of what the disease can do to a person.

General Hospital - February 26&27, 2018 Episode Reflections

February 26, 2018 

This episode was a bit of everything. Cue the tears are slipping down my face in the powerful scenes from #jarly, to #carson and Mike. The #fab3 kicked ass again as Carly, Sonny and Jason are amazing. This is a keeper. 

 Absolutely spectacular job by Maurice Benard as he had my emotions in many different spots. Can't wait to see the rest of this play out. Also kudos as always to Laura Wright and Steve Burton.

You'd think Dante would be more willing to help Carly here, especially in knowing the location and the fact that this isn't childhood's play based on that alone. ....and you wonder why people don't go to the cops in town, but rather go to the mob.  
That said, of course Jason would find a random guy that has seen someone making calls on the phone. You had to know the guy's description was off from the beginning in starting with, "Young, good clothes - you don't see that around here." Don't you normally start off with gender? 

But really, you could tell that Nelle got to the guy first and paid him off to tell this story. I got to hand it to her - that's more homework than I thought she'd do.  It's okay, though, as this plan will only last for so long. The truth is bound to come out. Someone will be willing to pay Homeless Jesus more than she is. I mean, really, I can't wait until Jason finds out that the guy is lying for Nelle, as he'll probably kick both the guy's ass and Nelle's ass now.

Essentially, Nelle is playing a real dirty game. Trying to make herself irreplaceable by creating this relationship with Jocelyn, to tormenting Carly. This girl seriously hasn't gotten the memo that those who mess with this family pay, and Jason don't let them off easy.

It's also laughable how Nelle thinks that this plan will get rid of Carly and then allow her to be with Michael. I mean, does she really believe that Michael will forgive her for this? I guess in her deranged mind, she thinks that she can fix their emotions and smooth things over immediately with Carly out of the picture - not realizing that Michael and Jocelyn will hold it against her. 

So Carly asking, "You think I've lost my mind?" with Jason responding, "No" was everything as it sets the base for the future. I mean, let's just wait for Jason to begin looking into this, doing the job the police should be doing but never do. Clearly anybody can see that this is a wrongful game being played.
The scene with Carly and Jason discussing Morgan is everything. From hearing Carly's sadness and recounting the details, to Jason pulling her into a hug and his eyes. The Morgan deal had gotten #ugh but that scene brought the sadness right back.

I also get how Jason said, "Sometimes you think you're going to get some peace and closure, but it still hurts, there's still loss, and it's still gone." But really, he may be talking about Morgan here, but this also strongly relates to those five years he lost, too. There's nothing to bring that time back.

I laughed at Nelle saying, "I hoped that giving u the dress would create some peace for the baby's sake. But Carly wasn't having anything of it when I wanted to name the baby, Morgan." Can u blame her, Nelle? I mean even Jocelyn is shocked and right in saying, "In my mind, there's only one Morgan - our Morgan."

My laughter for Nelle continued in her saying, "I was trying to do something generous, and honor the son that she loved." Puhlease Nelle, you have no good bones in your body. That said, I'm glad that Jocelyn keeps receipts as her return in saying, "I don't want to dredge anything back up, but that's when it happened. That's when we were drowning in grief from Morgan. That's when you did everything with Sonny" was perfect.

I mean, really though, they are laying it on too thick at times with Nelle. Her constant whining to both Monica and Jocelyn is annoying. Like do you really need to say "sometimes it feels like the universe is against me" over and over? Can we knock her off already?

Jocelyn's attitude towards Julian is everything. From "I'm only grateful for that" to especially, "a prison stunt will do that to you." I get people's frustration in Julian continually getting dished comments by people visiting his pub when they hate him anyway. But let's face it, those making the comments want to feel powerful and be able to dish out their anger. All about "sending a message" or "trying to put him down." To essentially leave him alone would be the grown-up, mature approach - but we know that never happens in soaps. 

I knew it wouldn't take long for the new detective to get a lesson of Sonny's authority and place. Welcome to town, buddy. On the flip side, it shocks me that Diane wouldn't come by that night at all. That said, a good thing through these police station scenes has to be Maurice Bernard. Sonny's emotions have me tearing up, and then you add Dante's heart & compassion and this was everything. Dante saying, "I assume you're commenting on the lack of handcuffs on this man? I'm sorry but you can go straight to hell" was beautiful!

Now if you thought that was beautiful, then putting Sonny together with Jason and Carly was even more amazing. The #fab3 has struck a core again, especially #carson. Sonny is hitting every single emotion needed here. Cue the tears.....  I also absolutely love Carly saying, "He's going to need us," followed by the perfect response from Jason in saying, "And we'll be here." Damn straight as there's no way someone like Nelle is going to be able to separate the #fab3 from each other.
That said, Sonny thinks he can just pay Ava the $14,000 for the vase and she'll drop the charges against Mike. While the charges should be dropped, it wouldn't surprise me if Ava used this to her advantage to get more time with Avery. Really, can't blame her if she does either.

I wish I could've yelled through my TV when Ava said, "If my love is burden to you, then don't let me down easy. Do it, say, let it go now." Do it, Griffin. Please turn around and run the other direction from Ava immediately. Safe yourself. I mean, Griffin saying that he can't live up to Ava's level is laughable. He clearly doesn't know the truth about her at all.

"If I see someone in need, I'll always go to them...." "And I respect that." "But can you live with that?" How someone as sweet as Griffin ended up with someone like Ava is beyond me.

February 27, 2018

So General Hospital was just..... boring. I literally do not even know why I watched it. I could've made better usage of my time with a nap. I would like to go forth and write some sort of review, but there's no material to really take from and turn into a response. I will say though - it doesn't surprise that Jim did something to chase Betsy out of town. I'm just surprised Drew figured that out. 

Now, with that out of the way, ready for #carson and Michael to be on tomorrow.

General Hospital - July 6-10, 2018 Episode Reflections

So is it a surprise that Nelle isn't believing a drop of how Michael left there to go see Jordan and Chase? She knows to always be suspi...
