For once, the end was better than the means

When Jason and Sam starting discussing whether or not they wanted to have a child together, the discussion seemed to go on and on and on and on, only for both of them to really beat around the bush and not exactly tell each other what they were really feeling.

The same started to happen when JaSam started to discuss whether or not they should get married. For once we saw Jason actually show and tell his lady love that he wanted to spend the rest of his life making sure she knew exactly how much he loves her. Jason was the one trying to convince Sam to put the past behind her and just take the leap of faith in their love for one another. Sam still seemed hesitant because of not only her past marriages which were more cons than marriages, but also of her past with Jason. The gorgeous brunette kept wondering if their past was doomed to repeat itself.

Jason became a man on a mission. Not only did he want to propose to Sam but he needed to make sure it was perfect. He didn't want anything to interfere with his plans for the evening and truly hoped he could sweep Sam off her feet and into his arms.

Sam went to her mother, Alexis, to get some motherly advice and well, her blessings. When Sam told Alexis that Jason was her "best friend and so much more," even Alexis couldn't help get giddy for her eldest daughter and absolutely gave her blessings.

Sam still tried to waiver making up excuses as Jason proposed to her. But, she made one simple mistake she told Jason her mother had given them her blessings and Jason nervously asked if he should call Alexis or Kristina for Sam's answer -it was then, Sam, with a sparkle in her eyes and love in her voice, told the man of her dreams, "YES!"

But, of course, the JaSam proposal couldn't be all love and romance, there had to be some sort of mishap that would make that night even more special and ironically, it was Maxie losing the ring that became a momentous moment for the couple. Jason pulled out a bolt as a replacement ring until he could buy his lady love the proper ring she deserves.

The proposal was everything JaSam fans have been waiting for and for the first time in a long time, the actual proposal was better than the build up, something GH has gotten away from in recent years.

Will the couple actually make it to the alter? Do you want them to? How long before something goes wrong for these star-crossed lovers?

The destruction of S&B ... complete

The final nail in the mystical romance known as Sonny and Brenda has not been hammered home just yet, but for now, their fairy tale love has been put on hiatus.

The goodbye was as heart wrenching as the wire episode all those years ago. Sonny did his best to piss off the love of his life and get her to see that he is not the man she thinks he is. That part of the breakup was the worst because Brenda does know Sonny and the danger of his life is nothing new to her. Sonny teased his bride by telling her he would move to California with her and Alec only to pull the rug right out from under her and telling her the house would be great but the life would be a lie.

Sonny also talked about how the power means too much to him and power, not love, is the one thing he can't live without.

Brenda in turn told Sonny how she had to learn how to be a good mother and that she had warned him that Carly would ruin his life. Carly may not have ruined Sonny's life, but she most certainly did ruin Sonny's marriage to his soulmate.

In fact, Carly and Jasper Jacks got exactly what they wanted - they successfully had a hand in the destruction of Sonny and Brenda. Sonny, just had to rescue Carly again - from herself. And Jax once again had to find away to make Brenda fear for her life and her son's life by putting seeds of doubt in the brunette's mind. Both were successful and Sonny and Brenda broke up over something that really had nothing to do with either one of them.

I guess one saving grace is that Brenda, though she allowed Jax to be her "white knight" to provide her transportation out of Port Charles but she didn't allow him back into her heart and Sonny, though Carly immediately began sniffing around him, made it clear he was not moving on with her, again.

Oh and the other saving grace is, when Brenda returns to Sonny, Robert Guza will not be writing her story for once and we may actually see the REAL Brenda for her entire story arc, not just parts of it.

Both Sonny and Brenda know where their hearts belong and eventually, they will find themselves back together, again riding off into the sunset, growing old together.

"Diamonds at the start, diamonds at the end."

Will first love prevail?

From the moment Lucky brought Siobhan to Port Charles with him, Liz has been jealous but has managed to keep her feelings pretty much in check. Liz was busy attacking Brook Lynn for her relationship with Nikolas, showing complete jealousy; but managed to stay even keel in regards to LuSh.

That all changed with the unfortunate accidental death of Liz's middle son, Jake.

Liz, understandably, was distraught over the loss of her child and decided it was time to tell the truth about her latest child's paternity. To be fair, this time Liz didn't outright lie about the paternity, like she had with Cameron and Jake. Helena had changed the test results even though Liz always has suspicions.

Even with learning the truth about Aiden being Lucky's and not Nik's Liz still didn't go all jealous on LuSh, she just felt the men in her life deserved to know the truth.

It was Siobhan that became the jealous one, constantly questioning Liz's motives and then of course the night she ran into the burning Spencer home and landed herself in the hospital and the OR is what caused the jealousy to rear it's ugly green head once again.

Liz, who clearly should not have been in the OR, made a near fatal mistake and basically owned the mistake outright - which was shocking in itself, but Siobhan accused her rival of trying to get rid of her and even said as much to pretty much everyone that would listen to her tirade.

It was Lucky that convinced the Irish redhead to drop the lawsuit against the ever troubled nurse, and shockingly Lucky defended his ex in true fashion despite their rocky past. Liz has admitted a few times that she is still in love with the young detective, but not to either Siobhan or Lucky - until Siobhan confronted her at Aiden's birthday dinner.
Siobhan again accused Liz of wanting Lucky for herself and even went as far to say the nurse's only mistake was letting Siobhan live.

When Liz tried to tell Lucky what had happened and told Lucky he would be better off without his wife, Lucky didn't necessarily agree. He finally defended his wife.

Lucky even said that he and Liz knew where they stood and Liz stated he was the only one that was sure of that. For the first time since Lucky married Siobhan, Liz basically told her ex she was still into him and would welcome a reunion. Unfortunately, Lucky only thanked Liz for dinner and walked away from her.

Liz looked distraught and beaten as she sunk slowly into her couch.

Will Lucky's first love end up winning back his heart during the battle of the two Mrs. Spencers or will the marriage of convenience turned real be what Lucky needs and wants?

One ends with heartache, another begins the next chapter

The destruction of Sonny and Brenda has been completely and utterly heart breaking for this fan of the super couple.

Watching their marriage fall to shambles over Carly and Jax's custody battle was almost too painful to watch.

I screamed at Sonny for allowing Carly's problems to affect his marriage to the one woman he claims he's always loved. He even told Carly that Brenda always has and always will have a piece of his heart from the first day he met her.

Why did Sonny have to frame Jax so Carly could have custody of Josslyn? That wasn't supposed to be Sonny's battle or problem. Carly should have fought on her own merits and not dragged Sonny or Jason into her ugly custody battle.

I can not blame Brenda for thinking Sonny chose Carly over her, because Brenda, though she loves Sonny with all her heart, is not a manipulative shrew that Carly can be at times. Carly showing up at Brenda's room and telling the brunette to go back to Sonny or she would take him for herself was disgusting in itself, it was the first time in a long time that I claimed to hate Carly with all my passion.

Listening to Brenda recount the times Sonny left her standing in the rain and breaking her heart and her decision to be the one to leave this time was unbearable. I remember when Sonny left Brenda at the alter and had Jason go to meet her and take her home, that day was the most painful day for this S&Ber, until the day Brenda told Sonny she was leaving him.

I don't believe this is the end of S&B forever, even Sonny told Carly that he's loved Brenda and lost her so many times, but it never ends. Sonny may have loved Carly at one point and will always be connected to her because of Michael and Morgan, but to Sonny Brenda is the one he has loved always. Brenda is the one that completes him in a way no other woman has. Unfortunately for Carly, Sonny and Jason are her world, but both Sonny and Jason have other women they love more than her - Brenda and Sam.

Speaking of Jason and Sam. The day that all JaSam fans have been waiting for is finally upon us.

What has been building for years is finally going to happen- Jason is proposing to his lady love.

Yes, before the Summer of Sleaze, JaSam were engaged, and were truly in love, but the destruction of the couple shattered almost as many, if not more hearts than the current destruction of S&B.

The scenes leading up to the actual proposal have been as hilarious and sweet as I'm sure the proposal itself will be. From Jason basically teasing Sam about his plans to the kiss that sent Sam stumbling into the door and Maxie flinging the ring off the balcony, this story is truly made of WIN!

Then there was Sam going to talk to Alexis for some motherly advice, again all full of win!

Jason telling Sam that it may be a ride he wants to take Sam on, and Sam asking Jason if she should dress tactical or trendy and his response being, "What ever makes you feel more beautiful, not that you need help with that." is pure JaSam.

They accept each other for who they are. They thrive on the adventures in their lives and don't try to change even a hair on each other's heads. Jason and Sam love each other unconditionally and for the first time in a long time, I see Jason truly trying to make all of Sam's dreams come true.

Jason and Sam want to spend the rest of their lives together, Jason and Sam want to love each other until they both take their last breaths, Jason and Sam want to make each other smile and they want to share everything they both have to offer.

Can't wait for the actual wedding of the proposal has been this great!

Through all the destruction, love does exist

And it exists in the form of no other than Jason Morgan and Sam McCall aka JaSam.

The two have literally been to hell and back in their relationship and away from each other. The chemistry on screen between Steve Burton and Kelly Monaco is so undeniable that it's hard not to get sucked into shipping this couple, that is of course if you're not a Liason fan.

One of the most amazing aspects of this couple is no matter how much they hurt each other in the past; they both realize there is no denying their love for one another. Sam accepts Jason for who he is- the danger and mob included.

Sam and Jason found their way back to each other after his relationship with Liz and hers with Lucky. The two star-crossed lovers knew deep in their hearts that they are meant to be with one another and no one else.

Sure, I bet there is a part of Jason that will always love Liz, she was the mother of his first born child, and I say first born because remember, Courtney miscarried her and Jason's child when she jumped off Alcazar's boat. But through it all, Jason has never stopped loving Sam and he pretty much said so last week when he told her he wanted to prove to her how much he loved her because the words weren't enough anymore.

Every time Jason looks at Sam know, his eyes say it all - she has his heart, now and forever. And there is no mistaking that Sam feels the same way about Jason.

The two know each other so well, Jason even called Sam out on her fear of their relationship failing if they were to get married, instead of Sam trusting in their love.

I can not wait for the actual proposal! Jason and Sam belong together and as I've said so many times before; if the characters can forgive, grow and move on from the past, shouldn't the viewers as well?

Liz and Jason both know Sam was acting irrational when she witnessed Jake being kidnapped and then she risked her own life to save the same little boy when he was taken from the Russian mob, Liz and Jason were thankful to Sam that night. Liz and Sam have mended their fences in terms of the Summer of Sleaze and lies, but some of the viewers can't let go.

Yes, I know everyone is entitled to their opinions, but ironically it doesn't matter who you are a fan of - Sam, Jason, Liz, Lucky, JaSam, Liason, LL2 or even LuSam - not every single viewer is going to be happy with the current state of their favorite character and/or couple.

I for one, really just enjoy watching a good story unfold on my screen and right now the only really good story on GH is the love story known as JaSam.

The agenda is written on the wall

Here we go again, Elizabeth Webber makes a mistake and someone else takes responsibility for it.

Granted, I don't think Liz deliberately tried to kill Lucky's new bride, but there is no way Liz should have stayed in the OR when she realized it was Siobhan on the table.

Liz's mistake with the medicine nearly cost the Irish lady her life, but according to everyone, including Siobhan's husband, Liz didn't mean to do it. Fine, I get it Liz made a mistake, but WHEN is Liz ever going to pay for her mistakes?

Not only is everyone defending the single mother, but Lucky sat in his wife's hospital room convincing her to drop the malpractice law suit Siobhan brought against Liz.

When he should have been comforting his wife, Lucky instead was making her feel like she was wrong for not believing that Liz simply made a mistake and it could have been anyone else and Liz probably would have made the same mistake.

I may not be the biggest Siobhan fan or even a big LuSh fan, but could the agenda of bringing LL2 back together be any more apparent?

I mean seriously, Liz actually told Siobhan if she continued with the law suit she would lose Lucky because he wouldn't allow Siobhan to hurt her in that way - seriously, Liz you're now telling you're ex's new wife that he will chose you over her no matter what?

Again, the only way Guza knows how to bring a couple back together or to bring a story arc to life is to destroy a character and/or a couple to further his agenda.

And to boot, Steve stepped down as COS and appointed Robin in his place which we all know is simply to cause Scrubs some more angst now that Lisa is in a coma. Yeah, because it's so fun to watch Robin become even more of a control freak than she already is - NOT.

What I also don't get is when Liz was supposedly "in love" with Jason she was over Lucky and when she was having her affair with Nik she had out grown her first love, but now all of a sudden she's always loved Lucky and he's the only one for her. Again, Guza loves to rewrite history to further his agenda.

What's next for the snarky nurse and the newlyweds? Will LL2 reunite and send Siobhan back to Ireland or will Lucky realize how destructive he and Liz are when they're together?

Love S&B, but ...

The only time I see their chemistry from when they first fell in love is when they are alone, no interruptions and all lovey-dovey to each other!

They still have amazing chemistry when the two of them are in each other's orbits, but thanks to Guza again, Brenda has been destroyed AGAIN for what? So we can all realize how much the former head scribe loves Carly, yes we know that!

Funny thing is I love Carly too, as long as TB is not playing her, but enough already with the destruction of Brenda and the history that is S&B.

The only saving grace in this debacle of a horrible story arc is that MB stated in a recent interview that Sonny has always loved Brenda and always will love Brenda and VMG said that come hell or high water she will do whatever it takes to make sure S&B ride off into the sunset with each other is GH ever ends.

They have been and always will be my all-time favorite couple, they are my definition of soul mates in every sense of the word and what Guza has done to this couple is completely and utterly disgusting.

I thought it was bad when Guza destroyed Sam, Jason, Liz, Lucky, and Ric along with the destruction of JaSam, LL2 and ReXis just to give us Liason and Jake, but this is worse because he's not destroying Brenda and S&B for another couple - he's simply doing it for the heck of it and for no reason at all.

All Brenda has been reduced to is calling Carly, "that girl" which Brenda would never have done in the past, and screeching out every other word that comes out of her mouth - again something Brenda would never do.

Brenda used to be this sassy, yet vulnerable young woman that took things at face value and would never deliberately try to hurt anyone - yet for some reason, it seems as though at every turn Brenda is trying to hurt Sonny by being loyal to Jax.

Which - OMG is one of the most annoying parts of this gawd awful story arc. Brenda would not be running to Jax every day to discuss her problems with Sonny, especially after Jax left her at the alter for kissing Sonny goodbye.

Brenda knows that Jax has always been jealous of Sonny and it's no different now, I can't believe that again Guza's fault, Brenda forgave Jax for everything he put her through the last time she was in PC.

I love Brenda and I love Sonny and I love S&B, so no matter what Guza did to her character and the couple this time around, I will never waiver in my love for them. They are and still will be my all-time fave and honestly if GH were to end, TPTB better do everything in their power to allow S&B to ride off into the sunset together - the fans deserve that much!
