Regan I can say I like that you are awear that one couple can't save the show that good writting and good storylines is what it takes. And he shouldn't place all his eggs in JaSam cause that didn't go well when he did that wit Liason and we are still workig hrough that mess.

I wouldn't say all the eggs were in Liason's basket. There was alot of story going on at the time including Sam and Ric, Alexis's cancer, Lucky's drug addiction... then it moved to the Alcazar mess, the MetroCourt hostage crisis, Emily's death and the text message killer. There was much more story and BETTER story going on when Liason kicked off. Right now, there's really nothing. Michael's storyline only interests me to see if he sticks it to Sonny. I like CarJax but I hate this ZBT nonsense. The Claudia story is not holding my attention and the thought of more Supergirl and Superman capers ... well lets just say if I had faith that they'd be written as well as the adventures were written in the 80's and 90's I wouldn't be so hard on them.

GH is not a happy place for many fans anymore.

I turn on other shows and they provide escape, which is what soaps are supposed to do.

It is not about Liason, even though that couple was vindicatively yanked after 2 years + of story telling and in a cruel sadistic manner by TPTB.

It is that GH takes too much out of me to watch regularly so I read your spoilers and watch when I can handle it. It is as bad as the evening news.

I turn on Gh and it drags me down.

i'm no fan of liz and jason, but is jason trying to hide something in that picture by having both hands in this jeans like that?

no more kate and here comes dante - gross.

ok so maybe the new name of the show should be all sonny's bastard children - since i'm pretty sure none of them were born when he was married or at least with their mamas and the show seems to be turning into all about them.

Cancel the mob and ho show and from the looks of it they are about to turn it into nickelodeon what happened to this once great show there are no good people on the show anymore everybody is a hot mess.There are no rootable characters, no love in the afternoon,no families and i am not talking about sonny's football team, no good friendships and no adventures. This show needs a complete makeover starting at the top because i can't believe they are looking at the ratings and not concerned about the state of this show it is quite pathetic and sad.

He did to place all his eggs in on Liason. Just look at the aftermath every last thing got flipped upside down for one couple. You may get sick of hearing that but it's pretty true. By the time they got done they wanted us to want Liason and say to hell with everybody cause Liason didn't do wrong and cloudn't be wrong then we see she had his baby. They banked on Liason like ppl bet on NewEngland to win the Suerbowl 2 years ago uh-oh. You know it Regan they wanted Liason and for eveybody to want Liason with that heavy handed handwritting.

No Nik and Rebecca/Em?

I don't understand Guzza and frons they are seeing that ratings are down people don't seem to be interested on the show , every new story is getting bad reactions , people still hate the Liason/LuSam breaking up and round 2 - of LnL2 and JaSam .
People don't ,love Ethan
WHY DON'T THEY DO SOMETHING?????????????????

I am not so excited about the New Corinthos football team......
I think it will be like Lulu and Luke three years ago, so what's new???
Michael it could be good So maybe I am looking forward to that but the rest Noooo

I am so mad about LIASON cos I do think it had a great potential and could have improved the show ..
It could have helped Lucky make him more interesting make the Q's more important and So on...
Why Why Why Why Why..

Wow..really so its called placing all your eggs in one basket on a couple that was never really a couple.
What got flipped upside down? Sam was allowed to grow and evolve even if it meant thru some process and error. Get over it already all female characters on this show are subject to character assasination..not just SAM. I saw this as another chance to give Liason fans hopes up because Fruza knew they would pull it all away and they did.

Would I like Liason to be endgame...hell yeah..but I know this is a Soap..no one is ever end-game not even our beloved Luke and Laura..though they may ride off into the sunset ala John and Doc on DOOLs

If JaSam is the way they are going to go...they need to write new and creative stories for them. That much is obvious. Even though I have a feeling that the writers are gonna fail to deliver yet again. Anyway, even though JaSam was together for 3 years, I believe that there is still story left for them. Some may argue that there is not as much as Liason, and that may be true, thanks to the son they have together and the relationship that they never got to have, lol. But anyway, once Jason and Sam work through all of that baggage and all of those issues that they have, the writers have an opportunity to write something fresh, that is rooted in their history.

For example: we all know that most of the JaSam relationship was basically Sam loving and depending so much on Jason, that Sam wasn't her own person. But now, Sam has her own PI business and she now has a sense of self that she developed all on her own, without Jason. So if JaSam are to reunite, they can show the similarities and differences between the relationship that they use to have and the relationship that they have now. They could show the struggle between the both of them to easily fall back into their old habits, or the choice to REALLY grow as a couple. IMO, that is the writing choice that is the most glaring. It may not be the most innovative or the most intriguing, but its a simple, and if written correctly and acted flawlessly, I'll be happy.

All I know is that I want to see JaSam involved in a well-written, satisfying and distinct story. If TIIC and the writers just throw JaSam together and not have good quality stories, I won't be able to enjoy the reunion of my couple.

i for one am interested in watching jason and sam reconnect even if an intimate relationship takes time. growth is important, but what always makes me so crazy is sam was one of the first to tell jason to claim jake, even after she dumped jason, she told jason he'd be a great father and quit judging himself too harshly. but few remember that. to me that speaks to their friendship: she was willing and able to support him after he lied to her - that is what i've missed most - their friendship.

i enoyed bitch sam and i enjoy independent sam, but i like sam and jason as friends and if written well more

basically i guess please don't say that no one is interested in this story - i am. i am also interested in kate, jax/carly, sam the pi, and other stories.

What I heard about JaSan that they are going to be the Corinthos football team coach.....................

Ash - I can totally agree, even if it is JaSam, but as we all know when was the last time TIIC wrote anything well or satisfying.

I mean the minute they get Sam back into Jason's world she is falling off ladders in her bikini, she forgets how to aim a gun and almost became a pancake during our last sweeps event.

All I want is independent Sam

I've become so disappointed with GH. The spliting of Liason really was huge for this long time fan..but to put Lucky and Liz back together is for me the final straw. I have no desire to watch anymore. Though Jason and Liz have unfinished business, it doesn't look like TIIC are going to give in to it so at least put Liz with someone else. Matt, or maybe Nik for awhile or hey how about Johnny; what a twist that would be.. Lucky and Liz are boring. But Liason aside, the other stories are just not doing it for me. At this point the only thing I'm waiting for is Sonny to find out about Dante and for this I'll just check the updates each day...How sad for someone to be a fan for so long and now, I just don't care to watch.

I am so sick of this show, hated how on yesterday's eppy LL5000 was shoved down our throats. If Frons/Guza wants to put them on the backburner he's doing a great job of it. Loved (sarcasm) how Liz made a point of saying she's not going down the Jason road again and how Lucky said Jason would of never been in Liz's life if it wasn't for the fire. WTF way to totally trash my favorite couple of all time, let's just pretend it never happened, like I said WTF!!!

ahhh I hate Frons and Liason looks so pretty.

And what happened to Holly? She looks so completely different.

And I still refuse to watch this crap.

I will not have frons belittle Liason like it never happened,they loved each other they were friends, thhey have a son and if Frons ever expects me to forget that he's a hell out of luck!

I don't give a sh.t about Jason, spamzilla or Liason they are so played out to me it is boring.I want the old GH back before it was taken hostage by the mob and these so called women where are the strong women on this show the men are losers and the women are weak.

I'm not really into the whole debate thing but I do not agree that all that story I mentioned was to prop Liason. While the storytelling quality at that time was still decent it was on a one way track to crapville... some would say it started with the Black and White Ball. There were plenty of stories that were dropped/not explored that could have improved the show and drawn on it's history that the writers chose to ignore.

If you read the TV Guide article closely, you will see that the writer Michael Logan says Holly reveals Luke is Ethan's father. And Guza just stated recently that Holly isn't always honest. Casting director Mark Teschner says that Ethan is the son of "two legendary characters" but he doesn't name the characters. After all the secrecy concerning Ethan's parentage, I don't think GH is going to broadcast the news in TV Guide before Emma Samms even appears on screen.

that in a nutshell explains all, again thanks Regan for all you do

OldGHFan... that is why I said CAUTION. I did read the article... its not online and no way to link to it.

Actually I think he was refering to the fact that Lizard wouldnt have broken her marriage vows if Lucky hadnt gotten addicted to pills.

Regan - I did see your CAUTION note. It's just some people are already jumping to conclusions. I have to admit, GH is doing a pretty good job keeping Ethan's identity under wraps. But if Ethan turns out to be Luke's son, I am done with this show forever.

Regan I do want to ask you question cos I don't think I understood that early what was the reason the broke Liason???????
I heard it was because Guzza didn't want to make Jason domestic or that Frons loved JaSam and wanted them Do You know why??
Because I think we all know that the all Kaprov was to end Liason and not something else so can you explain me the reason they did it??? Please

regan - thanks for your spoilers and fun commentary - it kept my very boring day interesting!

There is some debate on the matter of Jason... over the years Steve Burton has said he didn't see Jason with the white picket fence and Guza is in love with the mob. But as far as the Liason break-up, that was Frons dictated in that he felt pairing Jason back with Sam would boost the ratings.

But it didn't Sorry JaSam fans this is not working ...
And also Liason were not together together they were not family , and Jason could still be in the mob and with Elizabeth...
And I did heard that Steve said that but now Steve is saying that he wants Jason with his son and I heard that he is also not liking Jason with the mob everytime and we all know that he wants Liason........................

I think someone needs to take control on GH and change everything on this show and I am not talking because I want Liason I want change in all Story lines , the only good story was Scrubs it had a lots of low points but it was so good in the end .
and we did have a really good scenes with Jason and Carly some of them broke my heart but that's it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel real sorry for all you bitter people out there!!
I am a true true JaSam fan to the end and always will be. The last month is the first time I came online to see stuff about my GH and Young and the Restless. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions that is for sure. But no matter what I am a "loyal fan"!!!!
I watch even when I don't like what they did to JaSam and even when they destroyed Sam altogether. I do not like Liason I think they are the worst couple to watch on GH and I think they have no chemistry. But I still watch even if the writers do not do what I think they should. I do not care about your 200,000 thousand votes for Liason.There are how many millions out there that have not voted and are true fans and watch the show? They didn't vote Because they have better things to do!!! IF you are a loyal fan you still watch even when you can't stand what is going on because the nice things about soaps there is redemption for every character including Sam and Jason. And we all know that when we are angry we say things in the heat of the moment like Jason telling Sam I will kill you , or when Sam was so hurt by Jason she watched Jake being kidnapped ; not by a horrible person but by a women who was grieving the lose of a child which Sam understood. Also Jason has said to Sam I have never loved anyone as much as I have loved you , I would die for you!! Has he told Liz this! Liason fans Jake was an accident!!!!!!! A one night stand!!! He felt obligated to Liz because of it!!! That is the only reason they tried to be a couple. Also IF you are a loyal GH fan you would know for months while Sam and Jason were having problems Liz was always in the background lookin for her way in ! What do you call a women like that! Think about it. Also someone else said Liz would protect her kids better then Sam would being with Jason in the mob! OK NOT! Who saved JAKE ??? Ahhh SAM!! WHO went to the lake house to keep an eye on them ? SAM!!

Ethan should be Holly and Robert's son. When Robert and Holly were married and Holly was thought dead after the plain crash those couple fo years, could of been then. Didn't Holly come back from the dead after Robert and Anna started to reconnect. They could of written stuff acording to history. They could of had Holly not remember stuff after the plane crash, or being held hostage, all sorts of shit. Ethan would be just a little older but hey, better story. Instead we get Ethan being the great new Spencer we have to love. I bet Lucky is goner, dying in the line of duty after Liz and he get back together. Not to fear, we have Ethan, yuck.

I'm putting the blame of Ethan at JFP and Frons feet solely. I know people like to blame Guza and Frons, together or apart but lets not forget JFP over here. When Guza left, I forgot the writers name, she wrote the Liz rape story, she was promoted to head writer. There was some good stuff going on, then JFP fired her for McTrash. JFP hasn't been very good to GH, back burning and firing core characters and making shitty calls. Everyone blames Frons or Guza, start throwing some blame at the JFP. Fire her ass and get soemone who knows what they are doing, get Wendy Riche back, GH was on fire when she was on. Sure she made decisions that some fans hated, looking back, it was a good decade under her. Let's not forget the excutive producer, alot of this blame is on her to, she's not a victom here. All the crap she pulled on One Life, that was before Frons. I'm tired of people forgetting that she's a big part of the problem to.

I agree LadyoftheLake. Nathan Parson is 20 years old and they had the perfect story for the "coma" baby. Holly was in a coma and either Holly's family or one of Robert's enemies stole the baby from her. Lots of storyline potential. But Guza AND PHELPS have to sleaze everything up by insinuating (so far) that Luke cheated on Laura and Holly cheated on Robert. Holly was so over Luke in 1983. It just makes me so mad that they had this wonderful storyline opportunity, and Guza and Phelps just sleaze it up.
