DISBELIEF

Hola, GHers!

I hope you’re on your way to a wonderful day…or evening, whatever the case may be!

It seems that there is one thing most of our PC favorites have in common is DISBELIEF.

And really who can blame them? There’s a lot to find unbelievable these days.

John is still in DISBELIEF over finding out that the woman he believed to be his sister was actually his mother. I have to say that every family has secret, but truly – this one is a humdinger! Do you guys remember that recently I said that Johnny had become the mobster with a heart of gold? Well, I think he’s also the mobster with the most soul. John would not be so tortured if it were;t for the depth of his feelings. He feels lost because he has not idea what part of his life was real, or true. None of the things he thought to be the truth about his life actually are, so where does one go from there? I love that John, even in the throes of his pain, is still not willing to use Carly – not even to dull that pain. It’s why John has always had my back. I just hope something soon will help those tears to stop falling; because he just doesn’t deserve this!

Of course Carly knew that she was instrumental in finding the nail Sonny used for the coffin of John’s life, but not even she could have imagined that she would unleash such outrageous revelations! Carly was in complete DISBELIEF at fixing out exactly what has been torturing her sexy would-be playmate. She can see that John is more than shocked – he is destroyed at finding out that he has no idea who he really is at all, and it can’t be easy to look on as he struggles to keep it all together. John’s unraveling seems to have pulled at Carly’s heartstrings, and she seems genuinely sorry for setting all of this in motion over a game she wasn’t really prepared to play. I wonder what John’s reaction will be to finding that out.

Speaking of the informant, I have to admit that I wasn’t completely annoyed by the Luke and Lulu scenes. I KNOW! What better reason for DISBELIEF? After the glass throwing hissy fit Lulu threw, I was planning my snack run around their scenes. Yet, the scenes and the dialogue were both surprisingly deep and honest, and I actually felt a modicum of compassion for the youngest Spencer. (Something that hasn’t happened in ages – if ever!) Finally, Lulu confronted her father about why he has been so chronically absent from her life, especially at the times she needed him most, and even more importantly – there was some explanation as to why Luke has always felt that it was his only choice! Perhaps the reason I felt a bit of a connection with these two because it reminded me so much of my own dad, who was the greatest dad on the planet while he was married to my mom. Yet the minute they were divorced, he acted as though he barely knew us! Even years later, when he finally tried to be part of our lives again as adults, I always got the sense that he was afraid. When my dad was battling cancer, I tried with all my might to act as though the bad years hadn’t happened, and yet, I felt his discomfort, to the day he died. It was the strangest thing to me, until I heard Luke today! He was afraid to disappoint me the way he had before. He was afraid to let me down the way he had let my mom down. Wow. Isn’t that The Beauty (not just) of GH, but of every soap – when they allow us to see something in a character that resonates with us, and maybe even gives us a little insight? Thank you, writers, for doing that so well!

Matt seems to be struggling with Robin’s emergency plan, even though there seems to be no emergency. In fact, he still seems to be in complete DISBELIEF the fact that his sister-in-law went as far as to pick a new wife for his brother, and a new mother for Emma. I don’t blame him! There is so much fundamentally wrong with how Robin chose to handle things, especially the fact that she has yet to even share her truth with Maxie, the closest thing she has to a sister. Matt is right to be outraged about that, but I found it interesting that Matt also seemed to be outraged with that fact that Liz never said no to moving into a life with Patrick. FINALLY! Someone made that point! Honestly, I was in DISBELIEF that not one person seemed to be tripping over that little detail.

Maxie has the tendency to be a bit on the dramatic side, but I do not think she is under reacting on her concern for Matt’s continued interactions with Liz, in spite of the fact that he knows it upsets his girlfriend. Matt doesn’t really seem to care about upsetting Maxie at all these days, unless whatever it is also happens to upset him in some way. Maxie was in total DISBELIEF at seeing and hearing Matt and The Manipulative, Muffin-Faced One (as per Maxie’s request) being so cozy, and even though Maxie misunderstood the conversation, she did not understand the game that Liz is playing! Maxie needs to trust her instincts!

Luckily for Maxie, her loyal ex-non-husband is always at the ready to help his former lady love, especially when it fits into his plan so neatly! I think Spin may have been in a bit of DISBELIEF himself that it turned out to be this easy to weasel his way back into Maxie’s romantic orbit. Disbelieving? Yes, disappointed? NO!

Jason was dealing in DISBELIEF all over the place at GH! First, Robin delivered some tough to hear news about his brain, and about the uncertainty of his prognosis. For someone like Jason, whose entire sense of existence revolves around being around to protect and care for those he loves, a scary prognosis like Robin’s “You could die” is enough to make even Jason’s jaw drop. Then, just as Jason took a deep breath to get himself back on track, he turns and sees his wife down the stairs. The look on Jason’s face was so reminiscent to me of Jason circa 2004, that it made me sigh aloud. Jason needed Sam to be okay. All of her. Mystery baby included! Wasn’t that the very reason that we all fell in love with Jason and Sam as a couple long before they were? That must have been the very thing the writers and producers back then saw and decided to capitalize on! I am not exactly sure how Steve Burton does it, but he always seems to convince those watching him that he might stop breathing if Sam was anything less than just fine. It is a sight to behold.

I loved that he needed to hold Sam close, and that he asked her why she didn’t call him when she had enough cramping to seek medical attention. That has to say to Sam that he means what he has been saying to her all along – that no matter what, and no matter who is the father, he loves her, and wants to be there for her. With everything going on in Sam’s head, and in her heart, and in her body, that has to mean everything to her. I am so proud of Jason for knowing exactly what she needs, even when she isn’t asking for it.

Sam seemed to be in DISBELIEF herself when she realized that Jason wasn’t there because Spin called him. She immediately wanted to know why he was there, and when Jason hesitated ever so briefly, her alarms went off. As much as Jason protects Sam, Sam wants to protect Jason. While she is not physically able to swoop him off his feet and carry him to safety or to help, Sam does everything she can to move Jason with her love and concern, just as she did when Jason decided to have the brain  surgery that saved his life.

It’s no wonder Jason didn’t want to drop Robin’s bombshell on his wife; she has enough to carry, and he just knew that if Sam found out while at GH, there was no way he’d be leaving. I get that. I don’t think for a minute that Jason was purposely trying to be deceitful, or that he is keeping things from Sam. I think he was conscious of the fact that Sam should not be upset, and that hearing the news while at the hospital would upset Sam immensely, especially if she had to fight him to stay there. There was no DISBELIEF on my part at all! I know Jason well enough to know that given a choice between his or Sam’s well-being, he’ll choose Sam’s every time!

Of course, the DISBELIEF we all seemed to share was over the creepy, stalker-type behavior on display by the MMFO…(refer to Maxie). She has been lurking around Jason and Sam ever since she saw them at the hospital the first time, and she seems to have forgotten hat she just told Ethan that Lucky is the man for her yet again. I don’t understand her behavior, nor do I care to. Liz still bores me to tears. The only thing that bothered me about her stalking was the fact that the camera had to cut to her, when all I really wanted was to hear Jason and Sam’s conversation. Not even Jason registered her presence. Why would we?

Let’s focus on what matters!

Our JaSam Baby!
