General Hospital: Perkie's Observations
Sam is angry that they have to wait an extra day to get the results, because Kelly was in surgery. She says she won’t be able to sleep, it will the hardest night of her life. Sam admits she's been having dreams. Some bad with Franco, but some good, with a baby and Jason, then she wakes up. Sam says they'll need to make a decision once they know if the baby isn't Jason's. Sam says she’d never make a decision without his input. Jason tells her they’ll take it all one step at a time and deal with whatever comes. Sam gets a call from Kelly that she can give them the results tonight.
Olivia insists Steve tell her what's going on with Maggie. Steve claims nothing is going on. Maggie approaches and says they are hiding something. She says she thought she and Steve could start up something again, but Steve made it clear he was only interested in Olivia.
Maggie says she doesn’t want to cause problems. They got off on the wrong foot. Olivia reminds her of the kiss. Steve is surprised Olivia saw that, but didn’t say anything to him. Maggie says she hopes they can get past it. Olivia tells Steven that the kiss bothered her, because she wants him to be all hers.
Alexis complains about her various body changes, but Diane just wants her to keep Mac company. Mac tells them he’s dealing with someone close to him with an illness. Alexis commiserates, remembering when Kristina was sick. Alexis gets drinks from Coleman who claims she blushes around Mac.
Coleman talks of a strip pool rematch and Mac’s all for it. Alexis isn’t, until Diane blackmails her into it by saying she’ll tell everyone she’s going through menopause. Diane ends up half naked again, as does Mac. Coleman thinks Diane loses on purpose and that Alexis is hustling them all. Mac wants another drink, but Diane offers to drive him home. Coleman tells Alexis that she blew it with Mac.
Lulu asks Dante about Delores’ husband, but he says he doesn’t know much. He thinks they have their problems. Delores is attacked in the alley. She tries to fight him off, but eventually he's scared off by the lights of a passing car. When Lante leave the bar, they find Delores. She’s angry that she wasn’t paying attention and didn’t see the guy. Lulu asks about going after strippers, but Dante thinks Delores was targeted specifically because she’s the cop on the case.
Sonny insists Kate tell him the truth. She's says she's been seeing another man, but it turns out it's a psychiatrist. Sonny doesn’t understand why she would lie to him. Kate says she hasn’t told anyone. After all she’s done to transform herself, she doesn’t want people to see her out of control. She says she’s been good at hiding things and is always filled with anxiety.
Sonny wonders what she’s afraid of. Kate feels she isn’t happy despite the transformation. Sonny asks if the shrink knows about him. She admits he’s the number one topic of conversation. He’s surprised she’d fly all the way to Chicago, just to see a shrink. He says he wants them to continue their relationship, but won’t if it hurts her too much.
Kate says she wants things to work out between them. Sonny asks if the doctor is helping and she says feels calmer after she sees him, and that the hardest part was admitting she had a problem. The two kiss and after they make love, she leaves him sleeping.
Ethan and Cassandra hang out at the Haunted Star. They talk about boring stuff, like being a con artist and why she’s so drawn to Windemere. Eventually they head back to Windemere, where Ethan declares he’s falling in love with her. He doesn’t care who she used to be, he wants them to start over together. Ethan gets a text to meet Luke at the Star, so he leaves. When he gets to the Star, no one is there. Meanwhile, Helena confronts Cassandra.
Lante take Delores to the hospital to be checked out. Lulu and Olivia hang out, while Dante checks on Delores. Olivia says she doesn’t trust Delores. She watched Dante growing up, attracting women and knows the signs. Lulu defends Dante, saying he and Delores are just partners and that she could be friends with Delores. She mentions the possible job at the PCPD. Olivia tells her to take it, while she watches Steve and Maggie argue across the room.
Delores is fine and says she’ll take a cab home, despite Dante’s offer to take her. He tells her not to worry. They’ll catch the guy, since he’s now gone after one of their own. Lulu doesn’t seem happy with that comment.
Kelly shows up at the penthouse with the results. She tells JaSam that they’re almost 100% accurate and knows who the father is.
Wouldn’t it be funny, if after Kelly said that Franco wasn’t’ the father. She got all Maury Povich on them and declared, “Jason Morgan, you are NOT the father”. And then Jason would knock over a couch and Sam would run off backstage, crying and hugging herself as she rocked back and forth and some stage hands tried to get her back onstage. No? Just me?

When has Delores shown even the slightest bit of interest in Dante? Never. Olivia needs to STHU, either she's projecting her own troubles onto Lulu or her imagination is so out of whack it's unbelievable. I'll bet Lulu takes that job now just so that she can keep her eyes on Delores and Dante.
Sonny and nuKate.... blah, blah, blah, fake crocodile tears, blah, blah, blah...
The best part of this episode? Holy smokes... did anyone else catch the arms on Mac Scorpio? I've been sick with the flu for a few days now and even in my weakened state did I sit right up and stare. Jason and Sonny who? I hope the new powers that be take notice of just what they have in Mac Scorpio.

Can someone please take those two Falconeri women, put them in a space capsule, and blast them into another galaxy, since that seems to be where both of them are these days? I don't think there are two more annoying women in Port Charles these days, and considering the existence of Maggie, Cassandra, Cujo, and Lying Lizzie, that's a major accomplishment. If Megan Ward has seen any of this, she's probably on her knees and giving thanks to the soap gods and to her agent that they recast the part.
Memo to Kate - in the future, when Sonny spies on you, has you followed, keeps tabs on your every move, demands to know everything that you do 24/7, and is about to go into "betrayal" mode, tell him that it's none of his business what you do, where you go, who you see, what you do or don't tell him, and that if he doesn't like it, don't let the door hit his sorry ass on the way out.
Memo to Olivia - what goes on between Dante and his partner is none of your business, quit projecting your issues with Steven and Dr. Kewpiedoll onto Dante and Lulu's marriage, and mind your own damn business. The same goes for whatever Johnny and Carly are up to. Yes, that's probably a disaster in the making, but that's their problem, not yours. And the more whacked out suspicions that you manage to plant into Lulu's already ragingly insecure head, the more likely it will be that something happening between Dante and Delores will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

John York!!! The Alexis/Diane/Mac/Coleman scenes were a lot of fun and boy isn't Mac YUMMY!! 
Diane sure has quite the lingerie collection!
Jasam scenes!
Can't wait for Monday to hear Dr. Lee give Sam and Jason some great baby news!!! 
Steve/Maggie/Olivia scenes were snooze worthy. Same with the Sonny/nuKate and Ethan/Cassandra scenes.
Does anyone think Helena will provide any answers and what has she done with Luke this time?

It is torture not to FF through the Ethan/Cassandra crap. I'm just afraid that I will miss something that will affect characters I do care about.
Mac/Alexis/Diane/Coleman - so friggin entertaining. I love Uncle Mac and just want to see him have a decent story with decent air time. Alexis and Diane are gold in every scene they have (together and separate)
Jasam - Can't stand to see that child-endangering con and that child-abandoning borg expecting a baby.

Can someone please explain to me what the point of the nonrape and the who the daddy crap was if they find out Jason is the father so quickly? Was it just to have violence against a female and have it all about Jason? I don't understand.

Ghvetfan,,,I thought the whole purpose of the "maybe rape" and WTD s/l was to give the couple some angst. Yawn. There was no way that Sam's baby Daddy was going to be anyone but Jason since Frons went to soooooo much trouble to keep Jason/Liz/Jake from having any scenes for 2 1/2 years and then to fire/rehire RH and kill off Jake.
If TIIC wanted to give Sam a rape s/l and WTD then why choose Franco when it would have been so much easier for the rapist to have been a hotel guest that happened to catch Sam all alone while Jason was off making pukka shells.

I think the point of the jasam story was to be something totally different - something far more drawn out - except that it was widely ill received and then the biggest supporter of the storyline (ie FRANCOS biggsest fan JPF) lost her job. btw didnt jason and liz have scenes when jake died and when she was in the hospital? given that they are now exes that seems like a lot compared to oh I dont know - how much screen time liz shared with nik post break up or carly shared with jax or lulu has shared with johnny and yet I dont hear any of the niz, carjax or jolu fans declaring a conspiracy - just saying.

Liz and Jason had a child and broke up because of danger, not because they didn't love eachother any more. It didn't make sense that they never ran into eachother or had any contact.
Lulu and Johnny never had children, and Jax and Nik left the show (hard to have scenes when someone leaves the show).

It wouldn't be paranoia to think that TPTB wanted to eliminate Liason memories to make it seem as if JaSam was an 'always and forever' couple. Facts: Rebecca Herbst (Liz) was fired and Jake was killed off. It wasn't drama, it was to elimate the 'competition' for Jason's affections. And now Jake is dead, TPTB wants to usher in JaSam's baby. Jake was the physical representation of Liason and he became collateral damage in ABC/Disney's pursuit of Jason and Sam as 'the' couple.

There was a lot of time between Liz and Jason breaking up and Jake's death. Liz did share scenes with Nik after their "break-up" and then he left. I think they shared a mini-series amount of sceentime compared to the amount of airtime Jason and Liz shared. Jax is gone. He ain't sharing time with anybody.
My point was that the non-rape was stupid and now pointless. The whole plot was there for Franco and he didn't share more than 1 minute of airtime with any character on GH. Was he ever even shown with Sam during the "rape"? If he is dead, how will it ever be resolved that he never raped Sam? If she wasn't raped, what was the point? There are no scenes where Sam gets therapy or has to confide in her mother. She just moves on happy as can be and forgets? For me, that means the writers just wanted shock value and violence against a woman. That is crap. If they actually had to deal with wondering about the paternity at least the viewers would see if they could handle it or if she would get an abortion or Jason distance himself or not.

Franco had the hots from day one for Jason and not Sam or Maxie. Yes, Franco used Maxie who was more than willing to drop the linen and start grinning.
Franco maybe raping Sam was just plain dumb. Why not have JaSam find out afterwards that the police had been looking for a serial rapist in the area and Sam had washed away all of the evidence needing to find the man? I don't get Sam who is around 35 not going to the pharmacy to get the morning after pill! You would think a woman who was arrested for prostitution and just recently had vaginal surgery would be concerned that all of Dr. Lee's work would have been undone along with any STDs and HIV.
I bet a Franco DVD will show up before the end of the month where the man tells JaSam that he was simply messing with their minds and never touched Sam.
One last thing, I have never seen a soap opera go to such lengths to keep fictional soap characters in Jason/Liz from sharing any scenes and killing off their young son. Y&R thrives on allowing Nick to share scenes with Sharon and Phyllis.
In my mind, there is a reason that GH has gone down the tubes over the years since Frons was more concerned with making sure that his vision of JaSam being in a "bubble" without any contact been Liason, who shared scenes for five years before Sam or Courtney ever came to town!

I don't know - how much screen time liz shared with nik post break up or Carly shared with jax or lulu has shared with johnny and yet I don't hear any of the niz, carjax or jolu fans declaring a conspiracy - just saying.
========
Sonny/Carly have always shared lots of scenes since they are Michael and Morgan's parents.
Liz and Nik have been friends since high school and the show fired TC!
Carly and Jax have a daughter and TIIC fired IR!
JaSam shared several scenes after their breakup in 2007 (B&W Ball, on the docks, in Jason's office, etc.)
Lucky and Sam shared lots of scenes after their breakup in 2009 even when JJ took over the role.
It's only Jason/Liz with the "no contact" mandate at the end of 2008 who were only allowed three or four small scenes before JaSam took off for Mexico. Jason and Liz had tons of history going back to 1999 and shared a biological child beginning in 2007. There was no reason at all that the duo could not share screen time. It's a freaking soap opera!
If JoLu had a child on the show then I would expect for them to share lots of scenes even if they were heading toward a Lante pairing.
15 July 2008

But to the world Jason and Liz did NOT have a child together, thus they were more in the johnny/lulu mold and like Lulu (who moved on to having HEAVY screen time with Dante..much to my chagrin) Liz went on to having heavy screen time with both Nik and Lucky and truly how many different story lines can one character have at one time. I just dont see the conspiracy any more than I see a conspiracy to see keeping lulu and johnny apart. You can legitimately argue that they should put the couples back together (and in the case of johnny and lulu you may be right) or that they should share screen time but I just dont see some big backstage plot/"no contact mandate - thats silliness.
As for rebecca Herbst I STILL believe they fired her because they dont know what to do with the character and that tptb believe the character has run its course. for the record I also think they are coming to that sentiment about carly too. And while I completely understand WHY her fans believe it to be a conspiracy (so theres no need to spend 47 million posts telling me kelly is some frons pet blah blah blah) let me tell you why I do believe its the writers - it seems like with both characters both frons and wolfe are directionless. they ONLY seem to know how to write storylines about characters falling in love or dealing with breakups or things going kaboom. Liz and now Carly are related to so many characters on the canvas and have been with so many characters on the canvas that they are literally out of pairings and ideas (within that framework of falling in love, breaking up or being blown up) that they seem to not know where to go with the characters. Carly and Liz have largely been aimless for the last year and the writers even had to resort to bringing in newbies for them as their last best option. If you look at the rest of their air time, they have both had PLENTY but its all been inserting themselves in to story randomly that really has little to nothing to do with them. Suddenly Carly is hanging with Molly, there is liz suddenly bff to matt, carlys with luke but now shes not, liz has a scene with ethan and then not again for 3 months, we need a scene where some guy bashes one of the female characters lets have sonny bash carly and hey lets let olivia get in on the deal, oops time to do it again, lets let luke bash liz and have lucky get in on the deal. I just think both guza and wolfe had such a limited range of what they felt worked on gh that both characters were out of ideas that naturally worked within that context. What saves carly is that she is enmeshed with sonny and in the guza/wolfe word the show is sonny. Alexis too is saved for that reason - and because she has three daughters - or I think she too would have been axed a long time ago. Becky, like ingo and tyler, wasnt fired as part of some grand lets pimp jaSam strategy, but rather she was fired because of a. the limited imagination of guza and wolfe and b. because she has zero connection to sonny and c. because she really has no family ties to anyone on the canvas anymore - yes she would be lucky's exwife and she would have his kids, but that doesnt make them blood related, steve is hardly ever on and the rest, audrey steve jeff and sarah, are ages gone. THAT to me is why she was fired - because she fits exactly the same mold as the Jax character and the Nik character. Her firing, Ingos firing and tylers firing has to do with the sonny centric mob over dominated vision of the show that guza/wolfe had which has nothing to do with liason vs. jasam. He had to cut the budget so he fired the people playing characters that didnt have ties to sonny. that to me seems very very obvious.
The good news is that Ron C. has a much broader vision of what a soap can look like. I almost wondered the other day if its going to turn out that kate has a split personality.
Again, as for the JaSam story - for the record I have HATED this story from day ONE and I have said that numerous times. I dont get why they went in this direction and I think its a big turn off to viewers - the haters hate the screen time and they hate that sam is getting a baby out of the deal and the legion of fans hate that what should be a time of joy for us is marred by this whole stupid franco ugliness and the horrific rape story line that hasnt given more than a passing thought to sams POV in the whole thing. In that sense I totally agree with Vet Fan. While Kelly and Steve have both been turning in amazing performances there is only so much makeup you can put on this pig of a story. the writing is just down right dreadful and one rumor I read was that it was going to be even worse but some of it ended up on the chopping room floor. I suspect that the poster that said we will get another DVD declaring the non rape is probably right, my guess is ron is going to try and abandon this dog of a story as quickly as he humanly can so he can get on to other things.
Finally, JS I just want to say this - I get your frustration with sam getting her long desired baby. I sort of felt that way when the pipe wielding, leave her baby daddy for dead in a burning building and let your bffs take the rap for it nurse got to steal Zander's son Cam, but I dont get why you call Jason a child abandoning borg. If still as emotional or emotionless (whichever you prefer to say) as he ever was historically and yet you didnt call him a borg when you desperately wanted him for your gal Liz and when Monica called out Liz as the reason why she didnt get to know jake, folks were quick to say that she should really yell at jason too since that decision was a JOINT decision, so if he "abandoned" jake didnt he do so in conjunction with Liz, so any abandonment would be half on her? To me, Liz asked Lucky to parent HIS kids and he left for a jaunt to Ireland and parts unknown, and that makes HIM a child abandoning DOUCHEBAG. jason and Liz decided together that keeping him away from jake was safer and he provided financial support (at least til Liz stole it and pissed it away). If that makes him a child abandoning douchebag then that also makes Liz a - I dont know what to call a woman that encourages/chooses/requests/pushes for a father to walk away from his child. whatever dirt you throw at him on that, you have to throw at her as well.

I'm a newish viewer (came aboard during Brenda's return) and I was going to continue to watch until I found out how Robin was leaving and so I'm out. And one of those reason's (along with the male centric POV of this show) is Jason and Sam they are boring. I have tried and tried to see this super couple status that TPTB keep pushing but they just aren't. There is no conflict she just does what ever Jason wants her to do and he sits there like a bump on a log shooting people.
Jason has more chemistry with Robin, Brenda, Carly and Liz then I have ever seen in one scene with him and Sam. I have even watched the older episodes on soapnet that are playing and the fans of Jason and Liz are right imo, they do more in what little screen time they have together than Jason and Sam do in entire week's worth of episodes devoted to them. Either give Sam a backbone and her own story so they can have some sort of conflict or break them.
Robin and Patrick was why I continued to watched for so long. Robin has opinions and a life outside of her man, that's a Soap heroine to me.

EET - I don't believe I have ever said that I agree with Liz's decision to ask Jason to step aside regarding Jake. I hated that she asked him to do that. I know that the reasons were Sam and Lucky's feelings and "The Danger", but I always hated that she asked him to give up Jake. But I hated that Jason agreed even more. How he could walk away from his child just because Liz asked him to showed how much he loves her, but it also showed the coldest side of Jason. What kind of man can just walk away from his kid? A child abandoning borg.
I also disagree with you that Jason was a borg with Liz. He has always shown more emotion with Liz, and his entire demeanor and personality becomes softer and more nuanced with her.
And no matter what Liz has done in the past to others, she has never blamed her bad choices on "a moment of weakness" or gone after children. She admits to her mistakes publicly and moves on. So, no matter what you can say about Liz, there is always more anyone can say about Sam, who is a con who was convicted of prostitution, slept with 2 men on the same night without even showering, threated numerous times to abort her baby with Sonny (who never had a name other than Baby Girl McCall), kicked an innocent man in the back because she's so tough, let a serial killer walk away from her while she was armed because she didn't want to lose Jason, and endangered little kids twice. There's more, but why bother? The endangering kids thing alone makes her disgusting to me.

EET - Your very long post says nothing. You justify TPTB poor decisions and even goes as far as justifying their firing of Rebecca Herbst (as well as Ingo Rademacher and Tyler Christopher.) I guess that makes sense because you got your couple. And if the character of Elizabeth Webber is 'exhausted' of story, the same could be said of Jason and Sonny and Carly whose stories and character choices are redundant at best and destructive at worst. Sam has never driven story but I think there is a lot more to do with the character besides write her as a Jason's mate. Only when she is written away from Jason is she more interesting but those times were fleeting.
And you refer to Liz as a 'pipe-wielding' loon. I think it's best not to drudge up past character crimes. Your FF's wrap sheet FAR exceeds Nurse Webber's and includes hiring goons to draw GUNS on a mother, her toddler and preschooler.

@EET- Love ya.
@ Js3557-I think the reason Jason's personality and demeanor becomes softer around Liz is because of personal reasons, and he views Liz as innocent, docile, and child-like. Steve's family is great friends with Beck's family, so when you have that personal relationship with your castmates, it is bound to come off in scenes. I think the reason Jason is dedicated, and very much in love with Sam is he views her as totally opposite. Sam is independent, fierce, loyal. Jason knows that if there was danger looming, Sam would have his back, and she will do everything to protect herself and Jason. Opposite the Franco storyline of course which was a load of crock.
Let's not start bringing up Sam's transgressions. Liz's are just as bad. She is not loyal, because who continually sleeps with their fiancee's brother? She had how "many whose the baby daddy storylines", and most recently tampered in medical records. This is just what I know from watching the show starting in Sept. 2009, so I don't even know what her earlier transgressions were.
And in watching the old GH episodes airing on SoapNet, what was the whole point in Liz telling Jason that he was her baby's father because in the next breath she said he could never take that role and be in the baby's life. So again, what was the point in telling him? I think she just wanted him to see her in a different light, as being the mother of his only child. Him knowing this, would now very much change his relationship with Sam. Liz's determination that Sam not now was selfish and eventually is what caused Jasam's breakup. I think Liz had alterior motives all along. She knew exactly what she was doing.
28 September 2009
19 hours 29 min
JasamForever - I just can't agree with you about Liz having ulterior motives. There has never been any monologue, dialogue, fantasy scene whatsoever to support that theory. If Liz truly wanted Jason for herself all she had to do is accept his marriage proposal in the elevator. If she was scheming and had ulterior motives, she would not have cared why he proposed or cared about Sam's feelings.
I have also been watching the re-airing of the old GH episodes. Anyone who thinks that there isn't a plan in place to prop Jasam and pretend that Liason never loved eachother should tell me why TPTB did not air the episode where Jason asks Liz to marry him in the elevator? They skipped that episode and jumped to the one where Liz is saying that Jason loves Sam and she loves Lucky. Pimping and subterfuge in my humble opinion.
I only brought up a lot of Sam's past because EET gave a laundry list of Liz's transgressions after I called Sam a child-endangering con. My main point is that Sam endangering kids is worse than anything Liz has ever done...ever. And you describe Sam as independent, fierce and loyal. I don't see her that way at all. She is always getting into jams and having to have Jason rescue her. (not independent) She let Franco walk away when she was armed. (not fierce) She allowed Jason's son to be kidnapped and then arranged for him to be threatened. (not loyal)
But, I do understand that you see Sam and Jasam differently than I do, and I respect your opinion.

Monday...Super Bowl recovery day...Is PC in recovery from Guza, Wolf, et al?...maybe, maybe not...
It was kind of a "no brainer" that Ethan would get "called away" from
Wyndemere by Luke. Not. And also a "no brainer" that Cassandra would be confronted by Helena. Still hanging on to that dagger. I admit I love anticipating the classic suits and elegant ensembles wardrobe wil put CT in when she arrives to start her Cassadine mayhem...
A shrink? That's it? All this build up and it's a shrink she's seeing? I'm
not convinced. Especially seeing Kate, after "making up" with the bully, slip silently, out of her room, chicly dressed, hair down. I'm sorry, she doesn't look like she's going out for a therapy session. But, hey, what do I know...
Looks like Sam gets let down in a different way what with not getting those paternity results. I'm not used to seeing her "snap" verbally at Jason. KM does a good job capturing the frustration and anxiety that this news presents, then turns that aspect around to a nervous hopefulness when Dr. Lee gets to the penthouse. I'm watching her more more so than SBu here. He's necessary, but for me, she's a little more important in this story...
Apparently, he didn't hear any part of their exchange on menopause. Wow, CH can really articulate that word and say it pretty fast and in succession to boot. I chuckled. NLG does uptight and embarrassed so well here. And I enjoyed how, despite his teasing her, BG's Coleman was not just shrewdly perceptive ("You're blushing like a schoolgirl."), but gently encouraging ("You look like you could use a little romance."). The strip pool re-match was notable not just for the results (Diane taking Mac home instead-"You'll be okay, won't ya?" C'mon Mac..."), but for Coleman zeroing in on Alexis' timidity with an aspect of her life that she wants but won't let herself act on: "That shot you just had? You just blew it." NLG's combined look of annoyance and regret for what she let get away from her was a bittersweet finish to what could have been a memorable night...
At least we know Olivia feels something for Steve even if she hasn't said the exact words yet. As for him, he's not happy with "His Olivia" or the "Mwmphis Magpie" as regards that kiss with with his ex. This story neds to be pushed along faster or finished outright. I'm not sure I care either way...
Even conversing with Mac at Jake's they playfuly tease each other, trying to steal french fries. And they discus Padilla and her "no show" husband,
) She's not thrilled with the fact that D's pronouncement "This is personal." could very well mean this assault case is going to be "coming home" with them. So much for an
who D hasn't met either. "She never talks about him?" "No...I don't pry...they have their problems.." "That sucks. (Not unkindly), Cheers to our honeymoon phase." And he totally agrees with her observation, the two of them sharing a sweet and tender kiss. Juxtaposed with the violence that Padilla is dealing with just outside. If not for her struggle being illuminated by the car's lights, D&L might have come across her murder on
their way out. The next nuggets of information and inquiry come after they get her to GH. Padilla deduces she's an "easier target..." D brings up:
"...Dr. Keenan said this guy is lookin to get caught." To which L adds smartly: "Which makes sense why he would target a cop." She also perceives that her nosy mother-in-law is bothered seeing her doctor boyfriend engaged in intense conversation with his ex, catching Liv's anxiety. I think L knows Liv is projecting her problems onto her sons's partner,
which she needs to ignore. (I wish she would just tell her to "Butt out. You're poison when you're like this."
enjoyable social evening being brought to a screeching halt...
We'll talk again...till then...

Am I the only one who wants Carly and Shawn together? Also, are we done with Jax for a while? That was so odd...I know Kate bought his share of Metro Court which I love - kinda wished she was working with a Fed.....and then would go away...horrible actress...

Im not going to get in to the this one did this vs. this one did that....you brought up how you cant stand that a character you hate for being a con is getting a baby, and I responded that I felt the same way when a character I hate got her first child after nearly killing his father - meaning I get how hard it is to watch a character you cant stand getting their happily ever after even if just for a moment esp. when you feel that their road to that happily ever after came at the expense of a character you really like. The boat that you are in with Sam and her new baby is the same boat I was in with Liz and Cam after ric pretty much assassinated him in cold blood to put an end to all the custody mess for liz. I get your feeling. I did not bring up a laundry list of liz s crimes or my list would have been far far longer. As for jason - Im glad that you agree she is equally responsible for him walking away. I didnt realize that you felt that way. Im not sure others would agree. Sometimes with some of the posters it feels like there is a double standard - he is the child abandoner and she is the mother that was just protecting her kid. I dont think fans can have it both ways. That was my sole point.
Soapbaby - Im sorry that the length of my post disturbs you so much. in the future you can feel free to skip my posts. If you choose to read this, then let me say this, Im sorry that is what you took from my post. I dont know how else I could have clearly said that it was the writers fault because they only know three types of story - falling in love, breaking up and kaboom and stories that pertain to SONNY and that within that context he was out of story for nik, jax and Liz. NOWHERE in my post did i suggest that is the choice I would have made had I had a say, I never cheered her firing (in fact I said it was a stupid move) or that I approved of that Guza/wolfe vision. i simply suggested that it was the writers lack ofa broader vision - something past sonny - that led to Ingo, tyler and rebecca being released and not some grand conspiracy the way some fans make it out to be. Some liason fans believe that everything - scene time, the color of the wardrobe, music, locations, comings and goings etc. etc. are all part of some grand design to pimp jaSam and in particular Kelly. Not only do I think conspiracy theories in general are usually pretty silly (esp when it comes to something as non-serious as the pairing of a fictional couple) but I would submit to you that if Kelly was such a Frons pet and so damn beloved and pimped and whatever as these conspiracy theories suggest that practically the whole show revolves around her, dont you think she actually WOULD be driving story. She has the talent to win an emmy and she came close with the baby Lila story and yet she hasnt had a story on par with that one in all the years since. Were she truly the pet that some Liz/Liason fans make her out to be this rape story would at A BARE MINIMUM give us more than one shower scene showing her perspective. In fact, were she truly a pet, in the years since baby Lila died, she would have found her dad, truly explored her relationship with her mother, had a full fledged relationship with lucky on screen and been shown establishing her businesses, ideally using the pi front to drive story either as the in house investigators for ELQ, or investigating a case that entwined her in her Cassadine roots or something, ANYTHING that actually had to do with her as a stand alone character. To say shes pimped when she gets nothing even remotely like that makes this proud sam FF laugh.

EET - I don't think that Liz is equally to blame for Jason walking away from his son, but I do think she is partly to blame. In the end, no matter what Liz asked of him or why she asked it of him, Jason could have said no. So, let's just say that I think Jason is 80% responsible and Liz is 20% responsible for the situation. I always thought that they should have just come out with the truth and dealt with it head on. I hated the secrets and "The Danger". And, I wasn't trying to offend you when I wrote that you had made a laundry list of Liz's wrongs. I was just explaining to another poster why I listed some of Sam's wrongs in comparison. I appreciate hearing different points of view...even when I can't wrap my head around a certain perspective.
