Love in the afternoon, it does exist

Love them, hate them or could care less about them JaSam and Lante are definitely proof that love in the afternoon does exist.

There is something real about these two couples. As a former JaSam fan that never wanted to see them back together after the god awful destruction of the couple. You know her sleeping with Ric, him sleeping with Liz; Jake being Jason's and Sam watching him get kidnapped in the park, him threatening to kill her if she ever did anything to Liz or the boys again - yeah all that.

But, lately I've been growing to absolutely love them again and I think part of it is because Sam brings something out in Jason. Like he said they don't try to change each other, but they also don't need to. There is a certain sparkle in Jason's eyes that didn't exist when he was with Liz or Courtney. The sparkle has been non-existent since he was with Robin all those years ago. Sam gives Jason personality and not so much brooding.


Lante on the other hand is still brand new and exciting. The way they were in the hospital on Valentine's Day was sweet, fun and light. They play well off of each other and already deeply care for one another.
I loved when they were making out hot and heavy and his heart monitor started to go off; it was hilarious.
I like how Lulu is not only concerned with Sonny being Dante's father but also how her own father is not exactly a law-abiding citizen and Dante working for the PCPD could affect that.
The two couples are keeping it as real as possible and honestly, it's refreshing. I know there are going to be obstacles for both couples, because let's face it; a happy couple normally means the kiss of death in the world of soaps.
Oh and I might add, Scrubs is another example that love in the afternoon exists; it was great to see the two of them getting it on in the supply closet like the old days. They showed that even though they're married with a child, it doesn't mean they still don't love each other and well need each other.
Thank you to the writers for giving us even a little bit of romance in this violent filled soap.
