Let me preface this by saying that GH is my soap and it has the best cast in all of daytime drama. I think I understand what the writers were trying to do today, but they did not accomplish what they had hoped to. I found the writing cringe-worthy. It did not ring true on an emotional level and descended into gimmickry. Despite all of the hoopla that went on there was no core of truth that was explored or revealed. I guess it was all just a means to an end, that of having Jason recover his memory. I can’t think of another actor who has been more ill-served by a show’s writing than poor Billy Miller. The only facet of his story-line to which he has been able to forge a deep emotional connection has been that of his relationship to his Quartermaine family – and I have the feeling that’s about to go to hell in a handbag as he is once again drawn into the Sonny / Carly orbit. Too bad – this has been a wasted opportunity and one long, unsatisfying story arc that seems poised to deliver the character right back to square A. Long live GH!

the episode did not deliver, its overrated, its going to be satisfying to those who love him as stone cold, w/ sam, and his friendship w/ sonny or is it bromance? and bff carly. so that half of the audience is going to be thrill, yet, the other half it completely leaves us out and uninterested because this new team is doing exactly what the old team did, wish is just concentrating on the awful 4some we had to endure and watch bully their way with other characters, its sad because the audience at least a great part of us have beg for a fusion between the original jason, that remember being a Quatrainmaine and remembers loving Liz and Robin not just sam, but theres nothing “new or original” to what Altman and Passamante is bringing back, and this is just a side note but ini the episode, w/ michael and sam, sam tell little danny to say hi to his uncle michael, to me this is very telling, considering they are cousins, and what it tells me is that ataman and passionate or who ever wrote the episode is not doing their homework, if you can miss this obvious mistake, then your also overlooking a bunch of other small things that add up to big things, so i give this episode a big O F+ because they overlooked a lot for a suppose jasoncentric episode.

Despite the good acting, the appearance of Helena, whom I love, and my desire for Jason to get his memories back, I didn’t think it was a particularly interesting episode. Too much time spent trying to rescue Dante, and I kept wondering why Nathan would go off and leave his partner in such a bad predicament..

I found this episode very frustrating mainly because of Billy Miller’s mumbling through his lines. The background music didn’t help. I had to rewind each scene with Miller at least once to try and make sense of what he was saying. Billy is a terrific actor but his poor enunciation in my opinion is holding him back.

My partner who watches GH with me rather reluctantly has often complained about Billy’s mumbling in fact today he said “I think he needs some voice coaching”. Again, I genuinely like Miller and am not meaning to cast him in a bad light but today’s episode was very frustrating for me to watch.

As for the writing I thought it was an otherwise good episode. I am anxious to see the fallout from Jason regaining his memories.

As I said; the dialog is horrible- robotic ..

Robot = no emotions, nothing deep, No Life..

I loved this episode! It’s so good to see Jason with the people that have mattered the most in his life. It was even better to see Sam and Michael interacting and talking about Jason. The two people that he loves unconditionally. Can’t wait to see what else Jelly have in store for Jason and Sam!

Definitely more May Sleeps than May Sweeps. I do not think I’ve seen a GH show so boring in quite some time. It’s sad because while I’m happy they brought back Robin and Helena, it was a wasted effort. Maybe it’s about time for people to really rally around the idea that Jason-centric episodes (or a show centered primarily around Sonny/Carly/Jason/Sam) is really not in the best interest of the fans and the show (even though some of us have been rallying around this for years). I understand that there should be leads who drive story, but how many more stories need to be rehashed by the same characters the same way?? GMAFB.

I liked this episode. It wasn’t just Jason’s breakthrough with the past…but some of the positive things about himself from his relationships with key figures in his life… Robin, Kelly, Carly, Sonny (yes, even Sonny, but that doesn’t mean he has to fall into his criminal orbit again)…that gave him the extra push he needed to free Dante. And a chance to break Helena’s “Soldier boy” mind control spell over him. But I do wish the writers would find other ways to have big stories happen than accidents on the dark roads around Port Charles. And I’m not going to fixate on being Michael’s uncle or cousin…in a way he is both.

Due to the hype my expectations were high for this Jason-centric episode. They were not met. This time last year GH had their “Best show” Emmy episode in the can. I hope they don’t submit this one. Yawn. With the exception of Laura Wright and Constance Towers the acting was not on point for me…..and this is from a lifelong GH super fan.

I’ve said this before, but Sonny, Carly, Jason and Sam are legacy characters–vets. I do want Jason to connect with the Quartermaines. But I want him to connect with the Corinthos’ too.

I LOVE BILLY MILLER AND SHOULD BE THE THE LAST TO CRITICIZE, BUT THIS EPISODE AND THE ENTIRE STORY IS NOT WORKIN!G…..

Personally because of the recast and the fact that no matter how much Billy Miller tries we will never be Steve Burton’s Jason I think it is a big mistake to have Jason get his memories back. As Jason with no little memory to his past, this version of Jason had a chance to go where the old Jason character could not. I realize some fans of the old Jason might be thrilled that the character will get his memories back, but frankly I think it would have been better for the long term development of the character that he was free to explore himself without the burden of history chaining him into a new little box. As for the episode I thought Days stand alone episode with Aiden far more compelling – I don’t know if the two shows timed that, but by comparison Days stand alone episode was brilliant compared to GH that same day.

As I have stated more than once, when Jason picks a memory and goes with it as his character, Billy Miller’s contract will be up and we will all have wasted 3 years on this story and have to replace our speakers on our TV’s because we had to turn them up so loud when Billy was on screen!

I did not care for that episode at all. Went on way to long. I miss the writing on Ron Carlivati

I miss the good old days of soaps when real stories were carefully crafted with emotional payoffs instead of these ridiculous “very special episodes” that the writers think will gain them an Emmy.

As for Sonny pointing out that “actions have consequences” — what a joke! Sonny murdered AJ Quartermaine and then served twenty minutes behind bars before having his sentence commuted for an “act of bravery” he committed after HE ESCAPED FROM PRISON. Oh wait — maybe Sonny meant that actions have consequences if you’re not a Corinthos…

A Jason-centric episode on GH? In other words, it was a day that ended in “y.”

I love Billy Miller but feel bad that he has to say the same lines over & over. He’s becoming the John Black of GH. Actually was bored to tears on Monday’s episode til his seen with Kelly (which I wish wasnt a hallucination!) . Nathan leaving Dante makes zero sense! Thumbs down to this episode.

*scene*

What did he remember? Do we know if he remembers the Q’s?

As I began watching the episode, and knowing from the spoilers that it was about Jason getting parts of his memory back, my hope was that he would remember his medical training (way back when, while a Quartermaine) and attempt to save the lives of those hurt in the accident (with his past knowledge/use of medical skills). A few minutes in, and it became the Jason, boring/monotone Sam, Sonny, Carly, and Michael show and I was completely turned-off by the episode. I had it on in the background as I cleaned my kitchen, barely paying attention to it. Then, I got on the phone and just ended up shutting it off, mid-episode. #boring
