Making the Rounds at General Hospital - Begging and Pleading

Part of: Making the Rounds at General Hospital

As the police formally close the book on the text-message killer case, informing the press it was Cooper Barrett, the young cadet who they believe hung himself from the stress, Maxie begged Spinelli to help her find the real killer. He was already aware of Jason's suspicions that Cooper was innocent, but was reluctant to help until Maxie took him to Georgie's bedroom and reminded him how much Georgie loved him. Maxie and Spinelli are quite the unlikely pair, and I don't expect we'll ever see sparks fly between these two, but watching them work together toward a common goal should be entertaining, to say the least.

We were directed to believe there are three TMK prime suspects by the writers and producers: Daniel (the little seen busboy at Kelly's), Logan, and Jerry. Personally, I can't be happy with any of these resolutions. Jerry has become the ultimate bad boy doing whatever he wants with little consequence. Why go through this whole drawn out serial killer mystery to pin it on Jerry and have him wickedly get himself off the hook? To me, Daniel is someone they've created halfway through the mystery, just because the replacement writers have no idea how to end this story; it's a cop out. And Logan? He probably has the strongest connection and motive for just about all the victims (minus Georgie). He even has a reason to off Cooper, but it goes against this soft heart they've worked so hard to give him. Making Logan the TMK, in my mind, would only be a device to clear the road for Lulu to be with Johnny.

Sam went to Liz's hospital room and asked if the two of them could reach some sort of truce. She admitted to starting things up with Lucky for the wrong reason but revealed that she had fallen in love with him and felt the two had a real chance at happiness. Now, I can't really blame Liz for her anger. Sam did some despicable things (watching but not stopping Jake's kidnapping, hiring the men to harass Liz in the park) but she also helped to save Jake the night of the fire. I've never been a huge Sam fan, but I think, as of late, she's been finding some humanity and maybe deserves a chance to prove herself. Instead, since Lucky overheard bits of the conversation and confronted Liz, she will tell him the whole ugly truth and he will no doubt drop her from his life. Somehow after a year and a half of lying to her husband, Liz's need for honesty comes off completely self-serving and seems to be rooted in jealousy.

    how does Elizabteh honesty comes off completely self-serving and seems to be rooted in jealousy?And I Thought you people want liz to be open and honest with lucky without Justifying her reason's to why she did what she have done and thats what she is doing and as for liz personal life thats not lucky god damm business because liz is a free women as for the boys I don't believe that lucky loves them I believe he only says that to control liz because if he did he would off spent more time with them .and the only time lucky spent time with the boys alone is three times and thats when liz went back to testify at jason muder trail and he wasn't even alone with them .liz came home and find a wanna be stepmother to children thats not even sam trying to play mom to the boys especially jake and the second time thats when liz was in the hospital and lucky said he would take couple days of to spent with the boys but both those two times sam was there with the boys knowing what she did to there mother and the boys.

    and tell me what sam have to make elizabteh jealous ? and please for the love of god don't tell me because sam have lucky like every body else on other thread are saying and don't say because sam and lucky are out in the open about their relationship and thats why because liz and Jason cann't be in the open as a family and thats why she told lucky about sam scerets.Thats not why because there's a rumor about lucky believe that liz was the one hit sam with her car and that liz is sent to Jail and that lucky gets tempory custody and that jason have diane post bail for liz and that after liz is out lucky wont give liz her boys back and even after liz is proven innocent lucky esitate to give liz boys back but when the custody biginngs diane prove to the court that lucky is a unfit to be a father to those boys because of sam action to those boys and lucky take sam back knowing what sam did and after custody is over liz gets her boys back and liz is pissed at lucky.

    why should liz allow sam near her boys? why should liz trust sam with her boys? why should liz let go of the past because sam now decided to want move on with her life ? why should liz believe that sam is sorry because sam now all of a sudden sam want to move on and make peace and now want to act civil to liz? why sam could try and be civil and want to make peace with liz before because the decission liz and jason made wasn't about hurting sam wheather it was right or wrong and it wasn't about sam? why sam didn't think about how it will ultimately backfire big time in her face? if sam was really sorry why did sam tells ric after jason murder trail that she would get her revenge her own way and at her own time? if sam really cared about lucky as sam been saying for so long then why didn't stop and think if she stoop that low it will really hurt lucky like sam been how much lucky loves those boys and it will hurt lucky if he finds out what I did to those boys? if sam really care about lucky asm would put those boys in dangerous situation with out knowing things could having end up deadly.

    if sam did really care about lucky at all sam would of think things through before stooping so low by using someone fear against them or even stand behind the bush's and watching Jake kidnapping and please in the love of god people stop saying sam froze because sam didn't seem to be frozen when she acting she leave to go do or go were ever she was going and sam didn't sems to been frozen when she watch liz playing with her boys and sam sure in hell didn't seems frozen or what ever excuses she wants when it suit's her.

    Kitty - Liz's sudden honesty comes off self-serving and rooted in jealousy because it the only purpose behind it was to get what she wanted.

    She knew it would cause Lucky to break up with Sam and then she would not have to worry about her being around the kids. What she didn't take into consideration -- or at the very least ignored -- was that Sam has developed feelings for Lucky that are real and now that Liz has divorced him, she has to let him move on.

    While you 100% correct in the fact that Sam doesn't deserve the right to be around the kids, I believe that it doesn't matter who it is. If Lucky were to pick up with someone who had done nothing wrong, Liz would still not want that person around Jake.

    As much as she wants to use Lucky to keep the baby safe, she really doesn't want him taking an active parental role. She doesn't want to share him with anyone but Jason.

    I sorry but liz didn't comes off as a jealous person if lucky did have a come sense he wouldn't have left Jake with sam knowing full well how liz fell of not wanting sam near her boys because you cann't expect me to believe lucky didn't know that I mean go back and watch a sence on 1-9-08 videos and tell me if that ugly confrontation with sam and liz while lucky was still there wouldn't that tells lucky some thing to why sam shouldn't be arround liz boys and to top it off look at the black and white ball videos and then tell me how in the world lucky would get the impression that it was a good idea to leave jake with sam. secondly I know lucky was leave to go to work and he said aurgy was on her way but why couldn't he called aurgy back and tell her that he would just bring jake to her like how he is leaving.

    and what is that lucky have that liz needed from him because last thing I remember is after all the crazy stuff happened at the black an white ball including lucky finding he's not Jake father he lashes out on liz not that liz didn't deserve it but the one thing got me upset is lucky calling liz Lying whore witch to me that title belong to belong to lucky I know liz has flaws but lucky should have been chocking calling someone a lying whore. and secondly when lucky came by liz house and ask to continue making everyone believe he was jake's father but when liz was esitating to continue to lie about jake lucky snap at her for esitating his offer by using her reason's of lying in the first place.

  • 8 - kitty

    Feb 04, 2008 at 5:35 pm

    and as for the sam and lucky break up liz didn't cause it sam did and also sam been talking about liz lies to lucky about the truth about the must important thing in lucky's life and thats the truth but sam should be throwing that in liz face wheather it was the truth or not because if sam even care about lucky like she been saying no matter what other say about how sam froze or emotional and angry or what ever the reason why she did what she have done to liz by using liz fear against her and putting two innocent children in arms way but sam didn't think of how it would hurt lucky sam didn't care about anyone only thing sam care about is revenge.

    so you telling me liz shouldn't tell lucky what sam did to her and her children because now that sam decided to move on with her life with lucky want a happy life with him and liz sons . I mean come on its double standers and rediculous now that sam decided to call a truce a move on liz should should let go the past and forget sam ever taunt liz about jake being dead when he was not forget about sam wanting liz to replace her child for another and forget sam ever said that now they both lost a child and that there even when they are not forget sam every pay two goons to scare the crap out of her and her boys and forget about sam up in liz face almost every second at the black and white ball and when liz best friend was laying there dead and sam was screehing at liz.

  • 10 - kitty

    Feb 04, 2008 at 5:56 pm

    because now sam decided on her own terms to move to me that is 100% double standers if you asked me.

  • 11 - kitty

    Feb 04, 2008 at 6:13 pm

    sam should have never do those disgusting things what she have done because sam always saying scerets have away of coming out but I guess all those speech sam made about honesty its just a double stander.at the black and white ball when sam backing liz in the corner to tell lucky the truth about jake and when jason came in and tell lucky about him being jake's father and after lucky left and she was alone with lucky why didn't sam tell lucky about her sceret and for the love of god don't tell me she didn't want to hurt him any more then he already was because of liz and her lies and don't tell me sam was a fear of losing lucky like she already lose so much. and why didn't sam tell lucky the truth when liz make a comment to sam at the black and white ball about the little rescueing .

    I'm going put out some of what steve burton said about his charactor so people from other threads stop insulting steve and his wife for jasam break up from his website.Jason is shocked when Amelia, who has become Sam's confidante, reveals that his girlfriend is determined to have his baby, even if it means stealing his sperm and using a surrogate!

    Oh my god! Alright! We get the point! You love Liz and Jason, Liz and Jason are your cake and icecream, Steve Burton loves Liz and Jason...If Steve Burton were to write a book about Liz and Jason, you would buy an audograph copy...We got it around comment number 15...

    Seriously...it's been comment after comment, and it's gotten so far away from the point, the point being that Sam is a big mean liar...you know what? Liz is too!

    I use to think Liz and Jason would make an interesting couple...Now it does absoultly nothing for me...It's because they've dragged it out for so long, their not interesting anymore because they always come back to the same point...They can't be together because Liz is a wuss, and Jason is a 'coffee importer'.

    And, it's like she's not even that great of a Mother anymore...granted, she's better then Carly who let's her sons go around town and collect money for guns....but what Mother in their right mind allows it so a four year old can even touch matches? Let alone hang out with a kid who encourages it? Whose Mama? not my Mama.

    Face facts...Liz is no better then Sam...Steve Burton and Jason are two different people, and you have got to be the most annoying Liz/Jason fan I've ever seen!

    I'm not trying to insult you or any one is some of the other threads I cann't getting to write my comment and also if other people comes on this thread and read what I have put down about what steve burton have said they would stop insult him and his wife because when I watch some of steve burton videos I read some pretty insult comment but him and his wife. which personally its is pretty insulting and disrespectful of people who ever writes them because steve burton cann't control of what the writer's do or don't do.

  • 16 - kitty

    Feb 04, 2008 at 9:56 pm

    and the reason why I'm saying this is to defend him and his wife even though I don't know them because steve seems to be a really nice person and that would mean his wife is too beause the way steve talks about her. the Jasam fans are upset to how there couple have been destroy for another but they are forgeting that the writers always either let the couples they pair together end their relationship in a respectful way or distroy them . like journy and liason years ago or like the when they had pair jason with carly only to have her in the end sleep with a man that jason have always consider like a father or a older brother and that sonny and robin and jason they have jason make carly use her child and her self rightousness to come between jason and robin and have robin tell a sceret that wasn't her's to tell whether it was right or wrong.

    I could even go on how wrong the writers went with the stroy line but I'm not.They could have let the baby paternity comes out ater liz finds out it was jason was going to be a father and let the chips fall. but that didn't happened the writers have four characters lie,cheat,slept with stepdaddy,indanger children and uses someone fear against them but I don't hate liz or jason or sam I just wish they all move on way from each other including lucky. I not saying people don't make mistakes they do but they are certain things cann't be forgiven or forgotting whether people like it or not.

    Sam- she could taken the high road and said you know what I have been through rough patch's in my life in the past and now but you know what I'm still standing tall and I have a wounderful Job that pays great and I have a mother who I'm now getting along great with now and I have sisters who love me and I have got the family I always wanted in my life I know that I cann't have a family of my own but I still have A family who still loves me and thats all that is matter to me. but sam didn't say those words or even went down those path and leave things alone that doesn't concern her she indanger a mother and those children lifes and that should never be forgiven or forgotting.

    sam can hate liz and Jason all she want until hurricane kutrina comes and gone but leave those innocent children alone but sam didn't she went after them too in her need of revenge and now sam have to deal with what she have done. even if you were right about liz want to break up sam and lucky which I know with out a dought you are wrong because if liz did want to break sam and lucky up liz would of out sam long time a go and make sam look bad infront of lucky like sam was doing.

  • 20 - kitty

    Feb 04, 2008 at 10:49 pm

    and another thing liz was even beening nice and not totally letting know the rest of the truth about when sam show's up drunk taunting liz about her child being dead or that she could replace Jake by having another baby and that sam said how they both lost a child and now they are even or the time sam came in the spencers house claiming tshe was trying to make peace when sam wasn't and that she only came by to argue with liz about Jason but liz didn't tell lucky every single thing. Liz only tells lucky only what sam did not what sam said.

  • 21 - kitty

    Feb 04, 2008 at 11:02 pm

    if sam didn't want to lose lucky well she sould never did what she did to those boys that never did any thing to sam to get those disgusting treat from sam and also not because sam now say she ready to move on and stop her need of revenge doesn't mean liz or Jason should let go and forget or even forgive what sam did concerning those innocent children.I know Jason isn't better than now one and that he is a killer or that he treat sam bad but Jason have admitted not to being perfect or make mistakes in his life. he have admitted that he has srew up and aplogizes for the way he as handly thing whether it was right or wrong .

    Seriously...If you want to call liz on her crap is fine but don't pretend that what sam did was ok or in the moment of weekness and if it was sam have plenty of time to confess her misdeeds it doesn't Justify any thing sam did to liz or the boys. and I not saying liz is better than sam I really don't its Just some viewer think so and no matter how liz try to do the right thing or when she doesn't the right thing she still cann't get any credit for it. its like know matter how much she try other don't feel better until she look like she looses every thing.and also why should liz give sam a free pass and let sam near her boys or not tell lucky and if sam can always throwing in liz face about been honest about scerets thats not her's to tell.then why should liz give sam any free pass because wants it sam no way should liz keep quiet. and if some viewer didn't sam owe liz any thing then I could say the same thing with sam that liz doesn't owe sam any thing at all.

    Do you have the restraining order with Steve Burton's signature in a frame or do you sleep with it under your pillow at night?
    no I don't and I'm a big fan of steve burton and I'm Just trying to find a threads were I can defend my favorate couples and thats liason whether I like or don't like how the writers went with the storyline I still love them and another thing I just wish that viewers who don't like them just don't go into there videos and bash them.and as for steve burton I was just defending the actor because if you go to some of his video you will see that some of the viewer who don't like how the storyline is writen they throwing insult at steve and his wife like steve can control the writers. they are acting as steve can stop the writers from breaking up the Jasam and L&L or how they ended .

  • 25 - kitty

    Feb 05, 2008 at 5:37 pm

    and some of the stuff I put on this thread from steve burton website is to make the viewers see if they come on this thread that steve or his wife doesn't have anything to do with the Jasam or L&L break up and that is the writers doing and I'm pretty sure steve and is wife feel very offended how some veiwers who take this so personal or even go that far by send insulting e-mail to him even to rebbeca herbst and kelly manoco get heat mail's from veiewer's because how the stroy line but that should never happened because they are the writers they are just doing there jobs.And I aplogize if I comes of sounding insulting to you and soory not trying to.
