    Hera, I have to strongly disagree with your post on Carly and Liz. Granted Liz said no initially because she was trying to hold onto her child, all of him for as long as she was able. However what if Carly would have said okay she said no so I guess who will just have to look elsewhere. This makes no sense to me, the issue was not that Jake wasn’t a match the issues was a grieving mother made a snap life changing decision off of pure emotion and no rational thinking as is understandable.

    In Carly’s mind Liz does not understand the situation and if Carly could talk to her she could make her see that a child’s life is on the line. What kind of mother would give up so easily on something so important? I don’t believe for one moment that it is ever easy to ask a grieving parent to donate their child’s organs no matter who is doing the asking. In the end it is that something special in us mothers that fight for the life of a child any child no matter whose it is.

    Do you think that if the roles were reversed that Liz would have just accepted Carly’s no because I do not. I think Liz would have fought and fought hard for the life of her child as any real mother would do. Alexis caused Sam to go into labor pressuring her for the stem cells from her baby’s umbilical cord to save Kristina’s life. She begged her to help her save her child.

    I also don’t think its fare to accuse Carly of being unsympathetic to Liz, Jason and Lucky. No mother wants to see another face what Liz, Lucky and Jason are facing. Joss being as sick as she is does not give Carly the luxury of dealing with how others feel as bad as it may sound her focus is totally on her daughter.

    Do you think that Liz, Lucky and Jason offered the appropriate amount of sympathy to Carly when they learned how sick Joss was? Right now everyone is living in their own little personal hell and saying the right things and doing the appropriate things just does not seem as important under the circumstances.

    In the future I do hope that Liz and Carly can come to accept and respect each other more. I have always felt they were a lot alike in some ways.

    Just a thought about the paging of Monica. I hear them paging Monica and Bobbi frequently even though you never see them. I think it's a sound track that they use just so we know they are supposed to have a role. They probably just forgot to take that sound track out because they use it almost everytime there is a lengthy hospital scene. JMO

    Hi everyone! Good comments today.

    Hi FUBU – In your 9:06am post, you made a good point about the cost of production factoring into the decision not to have various recurring characters e.g. Audrey, Monica, Bobbie and others integrated into the Jake s/l. If the rumors are true, GH has to cut its operating budget by 50%.

    Re. your 10:04am post which was a response to my post about Carly and Liz, I see Carly’s actions within context of her personality. I was critical of Carly’s lack of empathy for Liz. I was not being critical of her determination to save Joss’ life. I understand the emotional impulse to do anything and everything to save the person you love.

    IMO Liz’s response to Carly that she does understand does show her empathy for the terrible situation that Carly is in.

    I am not saying that there is a formula or pat approach to asking for organ donation with grieving family members. I am not without experience in this matter.

    I also am not trying to say that there is a threshold level for an appropriate amount of sympathy or empathy to show in situation like this. Either you have it or you don’t. I am talking about having empathy and sympathy for a fellow human being and reaching out to that person who is going through the same or similar hell. IMO Carly is lacking in this ability.

    It is my hope as well that Liz and Carly will change the way that they relate to each other and come to accept and respect each other more. I don’t expect Liz and Carly to become friends, but I hope that they will now have mutual respect for each other. This is a profound experience that will bind them together.

    Remember this is just a show. So all of us who prefer it was Cameron just believe that Jake would provide a better storyline for the show in the future.

    Carly problem solve too quick and I don't like how she got what she wanted so easily. Remember when Micheal was in a coma she did not give up and no one dear asked her to....

    Brenda will confess that Sonny is the father of her child and not the Balkin son. I am hoping and praying that there is a twist to Jake storyline.......

    I agree with the poster about the Monica Quartermaine page... WTH???? How could Monica be in that hospital or in Port Charles for that matter and not be at the hospital or at Tracy's wedding... insane.

    Ugh. The power isn't working in half of my apartment. And of course my tv is a part of the half that isn't working. I dont think I'll be able to watch GH. :-(

    I am so confused about this current storyline. Before going into the heavy hitter, can I just say Theo is a jerk and even though Suzanne turned out to be shady I do kind of feel for her. She played Brenda, but she protected her grandchild too and that makes me torn about her character.

    ***************SPOILER TALK**************************
    So, does anyone else feel that the person who hit Jake is def part of the Spencer family? When they were showing commercial clips on soapnet, there were a couple of scenes that have me thinking Carly or Luke. At one point there was a spoiler naming Robin as the suspect but obviously that isn't the case. I truly hope it was Lisa because otherwise the devastation and impact of this is beyond imaginable and nothing will ever be the same in PC.

    with everyting that happened, THE most memorable scene, is that of Jason holding Jake's toy, and broke down. PRICELESS
