Is Dr. Ewen Keenan Going to Recover?

Ever since Connie clocked Dr. Keenan over the head and put him in the ICU at GH, fans have been asking the question, “Is Dr. Ewen Keenan leaving GH?” Although there has been no confirmation, only speculation and assuption that has lead me to believe that no, Dr. Keenan will not be leaving GH and the actor who portrays him, Nathin Butler, is not going anywhere. Bulter will be tweeting with fans LIVE today during the East and West Coast airing of General Hospital. In my opinion, I don’t think the actor/character would be departing if he is just starting to get to know his fans better. If you have a Twitter account, follow @NathinButler and chat with him this afternoon. If you don’t have Twitter, sign up!

Will Liz and John McBain be the Last Straw for Sam and Jason?

At this point, many JaSam fans are getting discouraged, and maybe have even given up on their favorite couple. But I see this time as a time for Jason and Sam to really fall apart, so that when they can pull themselves back together it will be better than ever. With all the things that Sam and Jason have been though together, from dodging bullets, Sam losing her baby, to Franco kidnappings, and (potential) rape, I am certain that Sam talking to McBain, and Jason talking to Liz is NOT what will keep these two apart. Jason keeps talking about Sam turning to McBain as if it’s the most filthy and unforgivable thing that a wife could do. I am really getting sick of how Jason is acting out of character. He has always been smarter than this. Sonny has always been written as the stubborn, hard headed, and often wrong one. Not Jason. He has always been rational and intuitive. The Jason I have gotten to know and love, the Jason that belongs with Sam, would understand where his wife was coming from when she was torn about telling him about Heather’s news. He would realize how most of the times Sam ran into McBain were simply coincidences and nothing more. But he on the other hand, has deliberately gone to Elizabeth to confide in. I have been patiently waiting for the truth to be revealed, the truth (that I am hoping for) of Sam and John McBain being siblings comes out sooner than later. I am pleased to see that when Sam and McBain meet, there are absolutely no romantic or flirtatious actions between the two of them. This helps me to believe that they will end up being related. Liason fans shouldn’t be getting too excited in my opinion. Although Jason is confiding in Liz, I have not seen one split second of attraction or rekindling of a past relationship with these two. As for now, I will endure through the pain Jason and Sam are going through, and the troubles they are facing because I am certain that when they get through it they will come out and prove to be th esupe couple that they really are.

Jason Cook (Matt Hunter) is Leaving GH

Jason Cook who plays Dr. Matt Hunter, brother to Dr. Patrick Drake is leaving General Hospital next month. The actor has projects lined up for this Summer. And if his project with Bradfor Anderson (Spinelli) gets funded, he will be busy with that too. Cook was going to take months off this Summer for these other projects, but now he is just exiting the show. There isn’t word if he will be back or not, it has been left up in the air. What will this mean as far as the story line goes? How will Dr. Matt leave and how will Patrick take this? I am wondering if he will go to jail for killing Lisa. Is there hope for Maxie and Spinelli to get back together?

General Hospital Fans: Determined and Loyal

Soap opera fans have been known for their extreme loyalty to the genre and their specific favorite soap, characters, couples, and actors. In light of the recent cancellations of ABC Soaps All My Children and One Life to Love, we have been blessed with the renewal of the last ABC soap standing, General Hospital. Now more than ever, GH fans are going out on a limb to prove their loyalty to the show and all it entails to prove that this iconic show should be kept around for years to come. Fans are tweeting, blogging, watching, DVRing, and engaging in anything GH related, as much as they can. I came across a recent article in examiner.com written by Linda McCloud. This article states how GH fans are reaching out to it’s sponsors and letting them know that they appreciate their sponsorship and to show that appreciation, they are supporting the products advertised by the sponsors. I think it’s such a wonderful idea to give support which will come full circle. To check out the article in full, click here.

Sam and Carly Friends?

We all saw the bonding moment that Sam and Carly had on Tuesday’s 5/2/12, and I for one thought it was a great idea to finally have these two women interact like civil adults instead of screeching cats. Carly to Sam: “Oh God…I think we just had a girlfriend moment.” Building a friendship between Sam and Carly would probably spark enough interest as the beginning of a brewing new couple. These two have been at opposite ends of the spectrum for so many years, seeing them finally let their walls down and develop trust and understanding with one another would be really fun and interesting. I am all for watching friends hang out and have each other’s backs. We get to see it once in a while, then it seems to fade. Maxie and Lulu, Alexis and Diane, and even Jason and Sonny. Back in the day we had Carly and Courtney and I loved the way they would just eat, gossip, and hang out like girlfriends do. Obviously everyone loves the fighting and the drama, but it’s also nice to see a lighter side of things a midst all the darkness. Sam and Carly are going through tons of dark drama and maybe the light of a new understanding and the possibility of a friendship can help them get through their hard times.

Maxie Jones: Selfless and Unpredictable

Maxie Jones has always been a favorite of mine. She is passionate about everything she does and is involved with. I admire this character for being true to herself even when others put her down. Even when she does crazy things, she acts out of passion and love.  Maxie goes to extremes for the people she cares about. She has made some bad decisions in order to reap benefits from certain situations and most of the time caused more harm than good. However, the most recent stunt of Maxie’s is completely selfless. She is pleading guilty to a crime she didn’t commit to save her “boyfriend” Matt from going to jail. Maxie doesn’t want Patrick and Emma to lose another loved one even though they love her as well. She is willing to sacrifice herself for the good of Matt, Patrick, and Emma. A few years ago I would never have thought the character of Maxie could do such a good deed. I believe Spinelli has taught her how to be genuine and love selflessly. Maxie has always loved her family, especially Robin, but I think Spinelli has had a lot to do with showing Maxie what love truly is and how to put yourself last when it comes to helping others. It’s great that Maxie has Spinelli to stand by her through anything, and right now she needs him the most. Hopefully this will ignite the flame for “Spixie” again and instead of a non-wedding, then can have a real one!

Sam Moves Out of the Penthouse!

Yet another setback for JaSam fans. This saddens me that after learning that Jason may not be able to deal with loving Franco’s baby, Sam is devastated and makes the decision to move out of the penthouse. Jason is not my favorite person right now but that doesn’t mean I wish them apart. I think he is being completely selfish and jealous. Jason needs to get his head out of the sand and realize that his wife is going through so much pain as she was the victim of rape! (At least at this point anyways, hopefully that changes). Fear not though fellow JaSam lovers, I have faith that this is yet just another obstacle that this strong couple with be able to get through. We all know what Franco was/is capable of and this is just more of his wrath. Eventually, it will all have to end after this whirlwind of unhappiness for the newlyweds. Word out on the street is that Sam will have a new neighbor and I am guessing it will be none other than John McBain. Inserting his way into Sam and Jason’s life, this will be yet an addition to the hoops Jason and Sam have to jump through before they can be happy together again. If the rumors turn out to be true that Sam and McBain are brother and sister, Jason can’t find out soon enough. I want him to stop being jealous of McBain as a romantic threat to his relationship with Sam. Jason and Sam have been through hell and back together and there is no reason JaSam fans should believe otherwise this time around. No matter how I wish the writing for these two could have been different, I know that it is what it is and I am still holding out for the best outcome for Jason, Sam, and their baby. Just once couldn’t a soap opera couple get married and have a baby happily? Without paternity chaos, temptations, lies, illness? It would have been nice to see the lighter side of Jason and Sam since it has been so long. She is pregnant for crying out loud, the girl should be having food cravings and stressing about names. They could have played on their love for Chinese take out and tie in how happy they were at their wedding.
