GENERAL HOSPITAL: Are You Rooting For Patrick and Sam To Take Their Relationship To The Next Level?

This could be a game-changing week in the lives of Patrick Drake (Jason Thompson) and Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco), if these two decide to pursue what seems to be a burgeoning relationship between them.

In this sneak peek video scene from General Hospital, Patrick and Sam discuss their Christmas kiss and that they do both want to move forward romantically.  However, Sam points out that she doesn’t want to lose the incredible friendship and bond they have built.

Sam also points out that she is is not willing to go back to Silas Michael Easton), thanks to all of Nina’s (Michelle Stafford machinations.  Patrick says that he know that thing could get messed up between them if a romance doesn’t work, but the good doc also tells Sam there is a chance that it could work out as love match between them.

So, GH fans, what do you hope happens? Are you Team Samtrick?  Do you want to see Patrick and Sam become a solid couple?  Or, do you think it would only be just a filler pairing once Sam learns that “Jake” is Jason (Billy Miller)?  Can you see Patrick finally moving on and forward from a life without Robin (Kimberly McCullough) in it one hundred percent?  Watch the clip after the jump, and then weigh-in!

Id like to see Patrick and Sam take it to the next level…hopefully its the roof of GH and Krampus pushes them both off…lol…kidding aside, id like to see Jason becoming a doctor…a triangle with Jason, Sam, and Patrick…if done right…could be as interesting as the one involving Alan, Monica and Rick Webber from GHs glory days…but for obivious reasons i doubt itll ever get that smashingly good…1978 to 1985 were my favorite GH years!!!

I wish I had been around during that era, jimh. Those must have been the good ole days for you….nostalgia is so bittersweet !!!!
Let me tell you, Jimh….I just relish your idea of GH’s rooftop ‘drama’.
But, yes, let PatricK and Sam have at it. I dislike them both, so I have no vested interest in these two. Sam has no morals; so, I doubt her code of ethics or lack-there-of compels her to observe any sort of sexual ‘level’. Patrick doesn’t know east from west….he merely exists. Why is he on this show, again? Waiting for Sam to shed her boots? Oh, pardonez-moi, she never takes those off….in or out of bed….ask Su. LOL.
Yes, I agree that a triangle may stir a little dust; rustle a few leaves….I just can’t see Billy/Jason with Sam. The thought makes me choke with the bitter taste of bile. He’s so alive…Sam will bring him down. He needs Theresa from Days, LOL. HAPPY NEW YEAR….later.

Sam and Patrick are a bore mainly because of Sam…Jason and Theresa would be hot…if only Days and GH could do crossovers or bring Jen back to GH as Maxie…lol…Happy New Year, CeeCee!!!

jimh: I could not agree more: let Krampus push Sam off of the hospital roof-top. I would like to see Jake(son) also become a doctor-continue to resurrect the Q’s. “If done right-” the problem is: most storylines are not given the opportunity to be done right nowadays. I miss the Claire Labine and Wendy Riche era in the 90’s.

JIM! I vote for you as a story consultant. I love your idea of having Jason become a doctor as originally planned by the character and then involving him in a love triangle with Patrick, Lizzy and maybe Sam.
I have no problem with Patrick being couple with Sam. He can’t be waiting around for Robin forever and he seems to have chemistry with Sam.
Anyone, but Sparkle Pony.

Absolutely! I think they both need to move on, a fresh start.

I’ve been wanting Sam & Patrick to be given a chance for sometime now. I love these two chemistry, Jason Thompson & Kelly Monaco have over the years shown a great onscreen connection. They’ve done some really good high emotional drama & some really good flirting through out their years as Patrick & Sam. There’s this great history already there, with their past romances Jason & Robin aka JnR also having theirs. There is so much really good built in soap drama just waiting to explode with Jason reveal & Robin return. Plus Sam & Patrick creating their own great pairing that I think could really give Jasam & Scrubs a good fight for top couple love story. Looking forward to all the loving, romance &’drama these two paired as Samtrick will bring to General Hospital in 2015!

GH doesn’t rwally give us couples to root for anymore. They don’t stay together for any significant amount of time. Sam and Patrick would be great. Why wont they give Elizabeth a romance we can root for. This touch and go thing between her and Nikolas is tiresome. Put her with nuJason and call it a day!

I agree-there is no investing in a “supercouple” anymore…

No way !!! It needs to be Sam and Jason !!! I hate this mixing up partner crap ! Sam and Jason all the way ! Let get on with Jason’s identity coming out already plzzzz !

No Sam and Jason all they way !!!

Rooting for Samtrick! Love their chemistry, and scenes together!

Sam and Patrick all the way!!! The best relationships starts off as friends.

I am fine with either Samtrick or Jasam I am just head over heels that Sam and Silas are over! Thank you Lord!

I am thrilled Silas is out of the picture! Hallelujah thank you Lord! I am fine with either Samtrick or Jasam

Not a supporter of the couple. Jason (Jake) is back and that relationship has to be revisited, I think before she moves on to anyone. And, as much as Patrick beats his chest and says he’s over Robin, I am sure he still has feelings for her and anyone that comes into the picture at this time, is just rebound. I love Kimberly McCullough, but I think the character of Robin needs to be recast, in order to continue or truly complete the love story between Patrick and Robin.

Amen. Jason and Sam will eventually be together and bond through Danny. Patrick use to be a playboy. Why the hell not have him just live it up, get into a dangerous relationship, have his girlfriend go psycho, let ROBIN rescue him and those two fall in love again. BTW, love Kim but if she is not interested in acting they need to recast. Sorry.

No way

Sam and Jason

I do not like couples..
couples become boring very quickly, same ol’ ..
I do not like to watch their love problems of love gone wrong ..
ALL couples are doomed from day one, there are no happy ever afters for soap couples..
They only become ”stay together” when they are too old too old for the drama.. lol

I would rather see them date, be sexy, and share the love..
We rarely see single men being womanizing casanovas, they are always tamed and trained LOL..

Ohh my neighbor just said there was one..
Tadd the cad .. that he was a soap womanizing casanova and she loved watching him do his thing on AMC…
OK– I want one of as him on GH .. (I will tweet RC..

Back in the day, Tadd the Cad was a thing of beauty in his leather pants. He was having an affair with his girlfriend Liz’s mother, Marion Colby.
But he is in his early fifties now–he’s grown up. However, Michael Knight is an amazing actor who infuses a lot of charm and humor into his acting. So Tweet away–I miss Michael Knight.
About your other point–I do like soap couples if the chemistry, writing and acting is there. If it’s forced, then no, do not bother. One of my favorite soap couples of all time was Jenny and Greg from AMC.

Absolutely concur about Tad the Cad. The triangle between him, Liza & Marion contrasted nicely with his sister, Jenny’s, saintly romance with Greg. I also loved watching Reva Shayne over on GL do her thing back in the day when she juggled both H.B. & Joshua Lewis, with ex-hubby Billy in there to add extra spice.

No!! They pushed it to far.. Before Jason returned, I wanted Sam and Patrick… when Robin and Jason “died” was the time to do Samtrick. Now that Jason is back, and that story comes out, it would make no sense for Sam to chose Patrick.. In the mean time, since we don’t know Jake is Jason, why not use the time to re establish Jason and Sam thru memory, flashbacks, Sam really taking the time to soak in the fact that she had a chance to see Jason (frozen or not) to say her good byes,, why is Sam not questioning what exactly happened at CC. It makes no sense to the character and the love she had for Jason. And why is Jake not trying to find out more, he has clues now, instead they are going to invest in 2 pairings that will probably go no where, Liason/Samtrick.. to actually being connected to a story doesn’t always have to be about couple angst. Taking them to the next level is only losing interest in the come back of Jason.. When Ron C said he wanted the most impact for Jason’s return, is when I knew samtrick and Liason is nothing but unecesssay angst. Liz is with Ric again, yessss something that makes sense.. Sam going all in on the gunman and trying to figure that all out would establish Sam again as the strong individual she is and fighting with her instincts.. Ron C is doing nothing but creating a mess. Much like tring to pair a couple for the umpteenth time, different characters, and making RH Franco, a character that was never meant to be a day player..

Thats a great idea. For us viewers to get use to Billy and Kelly as Jason and Sam, GH should do flashbacks with them.

If Sam had a “flashback,” GH would just run an old scene with Steve Burton playing Jason – which would do nothing to establish any chemistry between Monaco & Miller. Burton’s face is still seen in pictures at Sonny’s house, Carly’s house & Sam’s house. Miller’s face in flashbacks wouldn’t make any sense.

KansasGuest, good point. Sorry, still weary from Christmas!

Jasam belong together, but obviously the writers will make the Jasam fans wait and wait for that to happen. Sam is investigating Jake to make sure he pays for holding her hostage while Faison (who killed her husband) made his getaway. Kind of an interesting situation. IMO, Jake knows deep down that Sam is no dummy. That’s why he refused to take Patrick’s advice about seeing a therapist. Sam and Patrick together are beautiful visually and have great on screen chemistry. I wouldn’t mind their relationship going to the next level, as long as they can maintain their friendship after Jason is revealed. Robin and Jason are Patrick’s and Sam’s soulmates respectively, and Sam and Patrick know that about each other. Neat situation.

Beautifully said! Sam saw Patrick Ho back to Robin when she returned from dead- sge encouraged it
and Patrick knows what Jason means to Sam- think about the surgery after Robin’s death and her heartbreak over Jason’s death. It’s a great situation that they each know Jason and Robin are their soul mates.

Sure I will root for them for no other reason than their mashed up name makes me laugh– Samtrick– what a hoot.

I prefer Spamtrick…lol

That’s sooooo funny and sooooo apropos, jimh…

Patrick can play with Sam for awhile, but-
As soon as Jason is revealed Patrick will be put to the curb..
You want that to happen to Patrick? It is inevitable..

OMG, Mary…you’re right !!!! Never even paid the moniker any attention until you pointed it out…it is a hoot. ….that’s the best pun, ever!!!!

NOOOO I LOVE PATRICK AND ROBIN ALWAYS. I AM SO MAD THAT THE WRITERS TRASHED ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVE SUPER COUPLES. IT JUST TICKS ME OFF THAT IT CAME TO THIS. I WILL NEVER ACCEPT PATRICK AND SAM AS A COUPLE NO CHEMISTRY AT ALL. SCRUBS CHEMISTRY WAS SO REAL AND NATURAL NOT FORCED.

The writers didn’t “trash” Scrubs. They did the only thing they could do short of recasting Robin – make her departure a coerced one; not voluntary. What do you expect Patrick to do? Become a monk? Kimberly McCullough doesn’t want a long-term commitment. In some ways, she’s as impossible to recast as Laura Spencer because she’s been in the role since she was 5 years old.

i am always scrubs fan definitely NOT a samtrick shipper Patrick has been the worst lately i remember when he was the best father and husband. I like sam and patrick as friends I want robin to reunite with emma and patrick.

Robin and Patrick will not reunite.. Kim has moved on and out into her new life.
Patrick needs to move on..
If the Robin lovers don’t let the couple go. well then..
Patrick might have to hire prostitutes, men have needs, yah know!
If patrick doesn’t get a woman where and with whom will he be getting his jollies off? huh? You Robin lovers going to deny poor Patrick some good sex, huh?
Patrick needs to play the field and doctors are noted for one night stands.

noooo I love Patrick and Robin always. I am so mad that the writers trashed one of my all time fave super couples. I just ticks me off that it came to this. I will never accept Patrick and Sam as a couple no chemistry at all. Scrubs chemistry was so real and natural not forced.

I’m with you on reuniting Patrick and Robin.

KM/Robin is like Elvis she has left the building let Patrick have a grown up romance. What is with all this Robin/Patrick love she is a cold bossy self-righteous fish!

they don’t look like or act like they are falling in love with each other, if anything they both act like two horny teenagers around each other, so why not just get it over with. they are not romeo and juliet, or luke and laura, so let them go at it..

Exactly..I just don’t see them as a couple falling in love. there are no special moments…nothing! It’s awful!

Exactly my point, Aria. Sam should get to it and stop pretending modesty. She has nothing to lose; her virtue has been beaten to the ground (ahem, the hay) long ago……it should be an easy ‘F’eat.
As for the redeemed, domesticated Don Juan, He is still a randy dog at heart. (I’m just too naughty)….LOL.

Hey, CeeCee….After slowly suffering through that sophomoric Sappy saga, Patrick has earned a racy little romp with Sam before the highly-anticipated Jason-interruptus strikes…and speaking of that nitwit nurse, in the event anyone could have possibly forgotten how painfully puke-inducing the pairing of Putrina truly was, I point out the Sapster’s ludicrous lunch/apology tour episode with Drake Jr. ….why is that waste of a character even taking up space in Port Charles anymore????

Ummm….Kimberly left GH. She’s in and out infrequently. What are the writers supposed to do? Fire Jason Thompson? Really? Patrick thinks his wife chose another life, and the writers are writing them to be divorced. I think everyone knows that Patrick and Sam love Jason and Robin, but now they are single (as far as they know). It’s a soap. I’m sure Robin and Patrick will straighten out their relationship and so will Jason and Sam when everything surfaces.

I agree. People need to get over the Robin thing. Jason can’t have a decent storyline with her popping in & out all the time! I like Sam & Patrick together for now … we’ll see how Jason mixes it up; quite frankly, I think NuJason has more chemistry with Elizabeth!

Recast!

I love Robin but I am over it.
But I do wear a T Shirt which reads,”Anyone but Sparkle Pony.”

I would really prefer to see Patrick meet someone new. I’d like to see him play the field a bit, have fun dating a few ladies. There is really no need for Patrick to be partnered up right away. Why not show a man dating, seeing who works for him, and who doesn’t. Clearly, Robin is out of the picture. I’m not sold on Sam and Patrick. I’d like a few new characters catch Patrick’s eye. I believe a new character named Ivy may be a new doctor…maybe she’s a possible new love interest? Really, let’s see Patrick with someone new…not recycled…musical chairs stuff with Sam.
Clean slate for Patrick. New girl for Patrick is my vote.

Robin wanted a life with Patrick and Emma more than anything and fought to get home. Patrick acts like Robin never existed. I don’t care about Patrick anymore. Can we PLEASE see Robin happy. Robin deserves emma and a life. Writers are making is so hard to stay a fan

No, but it doesn’t matter how I feel…

Goodness, no….wil fast forward through that one….

Absolutely not!! I am still baffled as to why they are even trying to force this pairing. It all seems to be for the drama of Jason’s reveal and Robin’s return. I hate this story line!! They were so much better as friends I really don’t seee any romantic chemistry between them. Not sure why a man and a woman can not just be friends without having to take it to the “next level”!!!!

Ok not a fan of Sappytrick, GH was so much better with a Silas and Sam romance. Michael Easton and Kelly Monaco explode with passion and love on the screen dont want sappytrick, i ff all their scences breaks my heart to watch.

Funny thing, her and John did but her and Silas, not so much.

No way when Patrick had the opportunity to be with Sam back in 2006..But Lucky (Greg Vaugan) was there ..
And they had plenty of chemistry… I like Jason Thompson and Kelly Monaco characters as friendONLY…

I would like it be a choice of Silas Clay and Jason NMorgan…that’s better ..jmop..

No! The Sam I know and love would never dismiss Silas and her relationship with him the way she is in this preview. Either TPTB are destroying the character of Sam for some reason or it’s a case of Invasion of the Body Snatchers! Nothing about Sam and Patrick has made sense because they completely dropped Sam’s relationship with Silas which was a REAL love story. Patrick loves Robin and he always will. This just does not make ANY sense. Sam should be with Silas. However, if this new version of Sam is the real deal then Silas is too good for her at this point.

No! Sam belongs with Silas and Patrick belongs with Robin, maybe Sabrina!

I am all for Samtrick… Love them!
I like nuJason/Jake as long as he is far away from both my girls Sam and Liz are better off without Jason new or old!

NO I am not rooting for Samtrick can’t wait to see them blow up when they find out that Jason is a alive Plus I want Patrick to know what it feel like to be real hurt to have Sam husband back after what happen with Sabrina getting her heart broken thing she was going to be with him. I really like Sam and Patrick relationships as friends hope to see their romance end bad to see what would happen to their friendships after it was over and I would love to see Patrick tell Sabrina he was sorry for how things end with them.

Perfect, I could not have said it any better.

Sam and Patrick are boring together. I want Patrick with Robin or bring a new character on for him. He and Sam do not fit. Sam belongs with Jason or Silas.

Patrick & Sam together makes me ill!!!!
Patrick is way better w/ Sabrina, they never got a fair chance b/c Patrick was either grieving over robin or shecame back from the dead. Patrina needs/deserves another chance!!!!!!

Although I am a JaSam fan, I’m really liking Sam and Patrick. KM and JT have great chemistry. Kim moved on and is not coming back full-time so Patrick needs to move on. With a new Jason I’m in no hurry to see JaSam revisited. If it was SB it would be different.

No to Patrick and Sam. Okay, Jason is back although Sam doesn’t know that yet but will eventually. That has to be dealt with if the possibility exists for her to reunite with her husband. That would make more sense. He is her husband. If they bring Silas back in the mix, the Jason factor still has to be dealt with first. And, has Silas been divorced? There is still too much to deal with before any SIAM reunion takes place, if it does at all. But, if Sam is reunited with Jason (and Danny’s father) eventually, that makes a whole lot more sense than Sam and Patrick. Is Patrick divorced yet? There is a lot to be sorted out for Sam and Patrick.

Disagree. The soapy route is to have her fall in love with Patrick without knowing her husband is alive. I want to watch her give Jake stink eye while falling hard for Patrick. And just when they think it’s totally perfect – BOOM – the Jason reveal happens. Sam is not WRONG for falling for someone else – Jason is ‘dead’ as far as she knows. But when she discovers that Jake is Jason she will not only have to deal with the fact that her beloved has a different face and confused memories – but that she’s head over heels for someone else. And maybe Jason will be in love with Carly or Liz at that point – further confusing the situation. It’s got ripple effects for months!

Jeannie…..I was good to go with your scenario until you arrived at the part about nuJason mixing it up with Carly…….good lord, please don’t allow the adorable Billy Miller to become entangled with that marauding maneater….I have really had enough of “Carlysaurus Sex” and her predatory libido to last me a lifetime. How I wish she were still stuck in the slammer, where she deserves to be….sans any pleasure of male company.

there certainly are a lot of players, coming out of the woodwork. LOL

that’s a lot of menfolk to juggle

Liz : Ric, nuJason, Nikolas?

Sam: Patrick, Silas?, nuJason

FOR the record : please, absolutely, NO mismatching nuJason with Carly. she’s made her bed with Sonny.

I realize that Billy Miller is BACK with a vengeance… force to be reckoned

my first gut instinct

Liz : Liz is living… has someone… Ric Lansing… it’s so much smolder
find your way back Liz

Fridays ep: mistletoe action

Sam and Patrick kiss
almost their, Liz and Jake till Ric happened on the scene and Liz ran in to his arms…. and KISSED… that was just ooh la la

i’m more invested

1. Liz and Ric
2. Billy Miller… find yourself… please let him be a doctor at GH… or… double duty as henchman… that was FUN… LOL dare I say that… with over the mob… but BM would do both so well…. keep that part a mystery…. and focus on him remembering the Quartermaines… and going back to work … establishing himself… to see him putzing swagging stud muffining it up would be tease

3. Dr. Patrick Drake

4. i’m putting Sam last… for my reasons… she has to factor in to this because of Daniel Edward… at this point. i’m not feeling any Sam/nuJason connect

Patrick and Sam are beautiful to look at together… dang it! does it take a lot for all the fans of Dr. Drake…. to see him happy…. perhaps they really do need to bring someone totally new…. give him more reach with his talent

THIS is my biggest soapbox beef !

GET over YOURSELF Alexis! once again… she’s nixing Julian… because she can’t be associated with any one in the mob…

ugh barf puhlease, she walks frigid… i’m over her…

LOL I enjoyed the Krampus tete-a-tete of sorts betwixt Leisl and each child … as only she can …. Leisl sings to her son…. that caught

Great post, Jeannie…..except , I beg you never say Carly and Jason in the same sentence, thought or idea….LOL….Not with Billy…..Happy New Year.

I agree, Ann. All snide remarks aside, Sam and Jason are husband and wife….I do believe that should be resolved. It remains to be seen if these two ignite a spark and then some.
But, my personal opinion, knowing Billy’s ebullience , I just can’t see the passion. I do not know what Sam’s and oldJadon’s relationship was like, but it would be a sad day if nuJason and Sam came together.

Steve Burton has no personality on Y&R….I am assuming he was a stick in the mud (with a gun) on GH as well. So, I can see their so-called chemistry. I wonder what they used to talk about ? How shiny Sam’s boots were or how hard oldJason could beat his rock-hard chest?

Oh, yes…no snide remarks. Sorry!! I feel that once Sam discovers Jake’s true identity; and, he hers,
then and only then should they walk in whatever direction they decide. Let’s not forget they have a child together. Jason may be too far gone with Liz and by the same token, Sam with Patrick.
I really don’t mind Sam and Patrick together. I’m sure they will find some common ground other….as long as it is not Jason and Sam.
I feel as everyone else about Robin….recast, if need be. No more cat and mouse.

I like Patrick and Sam together. The one thing everyone seems to forget is that experiences change people. What you are willing to put up with, wants and needs, change when you go through hard times. Sam, Jason and Patrick are all very different people than they were a few years ago. Robin, well she chose to leave Patrick and her daughter, to help Jason. If Patrick had done to her, gone off to help a past love, would she forgive him? She may have been held against her will once she got there, however she made the original decision.
Sometimes love especially past love just isn’t enough. Let all of these people explore who they are now. Do you really think that once the happiness of finding a lost love, wears off, that pieces can be put together long term. New personalities and changes in attitudes would make it very difficult and maybe impossible, no matter how strong the old love was. Personally I found Sam annoying, always crying when she was with Jason, needing him to make her ok. Now she stands on her own. What’s wrong with that?
It would be nice to see the complications, of those thoughts and feelings play out on screen. That would give fans a chance to see actual emotions and struggles and allow us be invested in the out come.
It is much more likely that there will be an explosion or something that will magically bring couples together, happy forever, or until the next challenge, without all the messy stuff. And let’s face it Sam will wind up with Jason they will be a couple and probably go back to the same old patterns. It would be nice to see growth.
With the way Liz magically fell back into a relationship with Rick, on his reappearance before the Nurses Ball, I doubt that there will be any of that on this show.

Liz didn’t ‘magically’ fall back in with Ric. He wooed her pretty hard and she was feeling vulnerable due to the failure of her romance with AJ and her conflicted feelings for Nik. I think that she’s glad to see him back but I’m hopeful that we’ll see her still thinking of Jake and possibly watch that be the dividing piece that breaks up the Liz/Ric relationship. I really want to see Jake/Liz happen.

No way to Sam and Patrick. We need Sam back with Silas. Maybe Silas can help Sam find Jason the way she helped with Nina.

Sam and Patrick have INSANE chemistry. And there is already so much built in angst. This is THE root for couple in my opinion. I know people are attached to JaSam and I’m sure the writers will feel compelled to re-visit that in some form.. but SamTrick is just light years better. And honestly? Against my better judgement I actually am rooting for Liz and Jake/Jason. I know Ric is there.. but c’mon! Becky and Billy BLOW THE ROOF off with their chem!

“… but c’mon! Becky and Billy BLOW THE ROOF off with their chem! ”

THIS , IS, what, I’m waiting for…. do not let us fester too long with “Jake” amnesia… giving Liz too much time to vacillate between waiting for “Jake” and the real love she and Ric shared

1. I want Liz with Ric
2. I’d rather see Liz with “Jake” if it doesn’t work with Sam…. I’m hoping this

Rebbeca Hearbst ‘ Liz has all the qualities, traits, men, like, “jake” and Ric would be drawn to, moreso, than Sam

Liz : feminine allure, captivating
Sam: ???? umh ? she wears black boots and jiggle : runs with sensual

some one is going to be left out

Sam is boring with everyone. As a character her purpose is to analyze absolutely every thing that happens, every emotion she might experience, and then yak, yak, yak and/or cry, cry, cry. Lately she has demonstrated an unnatural ability to plug the universe into her navel and come up with some amazing conclusions, her detective skills notwithstanding.

Patrick is a shallow man who still feels he should be able to have his cake and eat it too. When he is in a scene with Sam I feel free to fast forward (just as I do with Sonny) because neither he nor Sam have anything to say that I want to hear. I do think Sam and Patrick might make a good couple to raise Emma and Danny.

I want to barf every time someone raves about how prophetic it is that Danny, a two year old child whose time with Jason Morgan was measured in minutes, has this almost supernatural connection to Jake. The little boys playing Danny are as cute as a button and both seem to prefer to be held by men rather than by women, especially by Kelly M who plays Sam. Look at how they have reacted in scenes with ‘Patrick’ and with their ‘Grandpa’.

I am looking forward to the temporary return of Robin who just might slip up and mention that she brought Jason back to PC. I do not want a Robin-Patrick reunion of any meaningful magnitude.

Funny, Engrady. You know, people always ask me why I chose to teach such a boring subject as High School Physics. I find it so much more interesting and fascinating than Sam….at least I get results…..LOL.

ditto Engrady

how do they say

the apple doesn’t fall far from the cart?

and perhaps it’s not all of Sam fault

mother and daughter duo : Alexis and Sam EXASPERATE me to to end

this duo suck up so much air time… and the end result is the same…. alone

“… I do think Sam and Patrick might make a good couple to raise Emma and Danny.”

give us all a break already and pair these two… Sam has “made” it clear there’s no going back to Silas with his nutted up ex wife , Nina

Sam’ character is plot support and entangle… as best she can
Alexis : i’d like to smother and bury her in supreme court black robe . enough

thank goodness they orbit with Daniel edward and Molly

Silas i too good for Sam. He needs someone better who does not blame him for his wife waking up after a 20 year coma and needing his help. Sam wanted Silas to roll Nina out on the porch and when he didn’t do that fast enough for her, she bailed. He does not need a woman like that in his life. Nor does he need to try and help her or Danny. Let him find a new doc and let Silas walk away clean, on to someone new.

Hear we go again…Robin returns!

No I want Jason and Sam back together it’s been way too long can’t stand Elizabeth and him together

General Hospital

Is FBI Agent John “Jagger” Cates on the Level? GH’s Finola Hughes, Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson Weigh-in

When John “Jagger” Cates resurfaced on General Hospital in recent months in the form of Adam J. Harrington taking over the role originally played Antonio Sabato Jr,. know one knew quite sure just what side of the law is Cates really on? And, is he back in Port Charles to settle old scores with Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Jason (Steve Burton)?

What viewers have learned is that when Jason was taken captive two and half years ago, back in November of 2021, he was taken to Quantico, where Agent Cates had multiple RICO violations on Jason and was going to send him to prison for years, unless he worked for Cates and his team, in which Jason has been an informant working on the inside on the Pikeman arms deal case, or so it appears.

Now on the latest episode of Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson’s Daily Drama podcast, Finola Hughes (Anna) stopped by to chat with her GH co-stars and all three weighed-in on just what they think maybe going on with John Cates.

Photo: ABC

Bradford Anderson brought up that maybe Agent Cates isn’t working on the level. Hughes responded, “I don’t know, I’m not sure.” Burton added, “Yeah, we’re not sure. There’s some unknowns coming, so we’ll figure that out. But, it’s been a fun story to play for sure. I really like it. A lot of layers to it. I’s been excellent stuff to be back with for sure.”

Finola added, “I think we’re gonna be going through finding out who certain people are that are coming on canvas, like John Cates and Brennan (Charles Mesure) and where do they all fit in?”

Courtesy/ABC

Steve added, “You’ve got Pikeman and what their real motives are. “Jagger” obviously. And then, Pikeman is not facing on-screen.” The question of if Pikeman is a person also got brought by Anderson, to which his co-stars added, they believe it’s a company.

Courtesy/ABC

Explaining more about Brennan and what he was up to was answered by Hughes,”That’s a sort of throwback, perhaps back in the day at WSB. He just came on the canvas briefly. Nobody knows if he’s goo (or bad). I (Anna) got him put in prison, so he’s off, and out of the way right now.”

Now let us know, who do you think John “Jagger” Cates is working for? FBI, Pikeman, himself, or some other unknown entity or enemy? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.
