    It Isn't Good.

    Tuesday, August 09 2011
    Jason gets a grim prognosis, Sam goes off on Carly, Liz dodges questions and Sonny is determined to stop Jax.


    At the hospital, Matt orders Liz to call Lucky about Siobhan. Steve emerges to hear Matt pressing for details about Siobhan's fall. Steve wants Liz to level with him. Liz denies trying to kill her, but can't hide the fact that they were fighting. Steve orders her to get her facts straight because it looks bad. Liz runs into Dante and asks for advice. He offers that she should be consistent with her answers. Liz rambles on about mistakes made before lamenting, "Some mistakes cost more than others." She then realizes she knows where to find Lucky and takes off.



    A frantic Sam is filled in on Jason's condition at the hospital by Monica. She is upset to learn he is unconscious and explains he was out trying to fix another mess for Carly. Sam rambles about all that Jason will need when he wakes up, but Monica points out how strong he is. Monica believes Sam has been very good for Jason. The subject turns to Carly again, and Sam is frustrated that Carly always needs other people to solve all of her problems.



    Olivia tries to get Carly to lay down in her hospital bed, but she is desperate to stop Sonny. Olivia agrees to go and try to stop Sonny for her. Carly finds Sam and Monica in the lobby and asks how Jason is doing. An annoyed Sam retorts, "We have no idea. Are you proud of yourself?" Carly is shocked and thinks her daughter's welfare was more important than respecting their relationship. Sam wonders why she always calls Jason, but Carly claims that Sam is jealous. Sam is disgusted she used Jake to lure Jason. A livid Sam goes on to say that Jason is hurt because of her before hauling off and slapping Carly in the face! A hardened Carly says she has loved Jason longer and isn't going anywhere. Sam hopes loving Carly hasn't cost Jason his life. Patrick emerges from surgery and tells them it isn't good because Jason has suffered severe head trauma.



    Sonny searches Carly's home. He hears something outside and approaches the door with his gun in hand. The babysitter emerges, who has no idea where Josslyn is. Olivia arrives and tells Sonny that Jax is back in town for Josslyn. Sonny is furious, but Olivia orders him to not hurt Jax. She then explains that Jason and Carly are in the hospital. An agitated Sonny remains unphased by the news and screams, "I'm not letting Jax kidnap Carly's kid!" Olivia points out that Carly and Josslyn don't belong to him. She tries to reason with him and wants to call Dante instead. Sonny wants to handle it himself.



    Edward is not feeling well, so Skye helps him settle into his suite. Sonny barges in and demands to know where Jax is. Skye points out that Josslyn is Jax's daughter, but Sonny yells that the court said Jax has no rights. Edward laughs that Sonny is all of a sudden quoting the court, when he always ignores the law. Edward knows Sonny was behind Jax's smear campaign. Olivia brings up Jason's accident, which alarms Edward.



    Trapped in their car in a ditch, Jax tells Josslyn, "Daddy's going to get us out of here if it is the last thing I do." He realizes the car is not going to move, so he decides to walk and keep moving. He tells Josslyn they have a plane to catch.



    Shawn falls to his knees in a rainy alley, and is overcome by painful flashbacks. He hears a child's voice begging for someone to get away from him. He finds his way into the woods and runs into Jax's car. A stray dog greets him and they take refuge in the car together.



    After a midnight swim in the ocean, Abby tells Michael she felt like they were the only two people in the world. He promises she is all he'll ever need. He then invites her to Sonny's casino, and gives her a gift, a beautiful dress for her to wear. Abby is annoyed that he keeps bringing up Sonny and trying to seduce her just like his dad. Abby insists she could be happy sitting on her couch eating popcorn with him. He just wants her to have a good time, but she believes he is trying to be Sonny and it scares her. She angrily says, "If I wanted to be treated like eye candy, I'd still be stripping." A disappointed Michael replies, "I'm sorry I took you off the pole." Abby doesn't want him to spend his life being Sonny or rebelling against Jax. He isn't sure. She decides to put the dress on after all and thanks Michael. He tells her she is beautiful and they kiss.

    Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth. Can't you do anything right? First you botch the operation, then Siobhan falls down the stairs then y'all have a car accident. And this bimbo is still alive. Does she have nine lives or what?

    I have a feeling that Jason will come back the old Jason. I hope this is not the end of Jason and Sam. But when I heard he had a head trauma, I said, uh oh.

    My Sonny is fired up and ready to go.

    Wow, Sam slapped the taste out of Carly's mouth. Can't say I blame her. She had a lot of nerve saying Sam does not know how it feels to lose a child. Sam lost a baby a few years ago.

    Abby caused the biggest stank about that dress, then goes and put it on. No wonder Michael is confused.

    I didn't like Sam before today, but now I'm LOVING her. More please!

    Somebody hold Sonny down and give him his meds in IV form! He's running up on everybody by Anthony Z. THAT would have been fabulous TV! Sonny, ummmmm Josslyn is Jax's kid.

    I hope Liz doesn't get stuck with Siobhan's crap!

    Carly, you suck!

    If Carley's wrist wasn't broken, Sam would have been on her azz.
    Jason left the house . Carley did not take him out by gun point.
    While my heart goes out to Sam, it's really all Siobhan's fault for the car accident. HaHa!

    A DOG! I LOVE dogs and that was the best part of the show for me!

    My Sonny is so passionate . He is the sexiest man on the show.

    Come on Mr. Wolf - it's time for Sonny and Carly to get theirs .... they can't keep getting a pass for their horrendous behavior ... It was great to see Sam slap the "___" out of Carly her but come on ... And Sonny going on and on about keep JAX from Josselyn .... enough already. Redeem these characters or get rid of them ... seriously. (I know I know people love Sonny)

    Funny that Carly doesn't think to call the police and report a kidnapping. I guess the faith in the PCPD is non existent.

    It would have been better if Siobhan died becuase when she wakes up, she will insist that Liz tried to kill her again.

    Sonny, stop fixating on Carly and her kid, and worry about your own life. It's a mess and you are a mess.

    Shawn perhaps you should go with Molly to her PTSD class. U obviously still need the therapy. Hanging out with Carly will only result in more mental anguish.
    Look at both Sonny and Jason...and Jax for that matter.

    Olivia, don't do favors for Carly. she treats you and your son like crap.

    I can't stand Michael and/or Abby. So fast-forward

    So glad Sam slapped Carly. Carly feels she is higher in jason's life than Sam is. I haven't watched the show yet but read CBF say that Sam doesn't know how it feels to lose a child so wrong her daughter saved Kristina's life. That is how Sonny found out the Kristina was his. Didn't Alexis try to force Sam to allow her baby be born early so the bone morrow or stem cells or whatever is in the cord could save her daughters life?

    Oh, Elizabeth, woman up and admit your mistakes already. Sam was AWESOME today! I can't stand Carly and her "woe-is-me" stance. All she thinks of is herself and her needs. I have a feeling Jason is coming back as Jason Quartermaine, not Jason Morgan. I'd be interested to see how they'd play that out after so many years of being Jason Morgan.

    I don't agree with Jax taking Josslyn away from Carly, but at the same time, I can understand why he feels she's not a good mother.

    Please, for once don't let Carly and Sonny win! It's about time they pay for their actions.

    Way to go Sam and Monica!!

    It really doesn’t matter WHY Elizabeth was driving in that storm or where she was going, or what her intentions were. It doesn’t change the facts:

    She was the one driving.

    She was speeding.

    She lost control when she got distracted and caused the accident.


    It WAS an accident but Elizabeth’s still the one responsible for it. Of course we’ll see her usual chorus of supporters (on camera and on this board) make endless excuses for her, and talk about how brave she was, but in my opinion, Elizabeth didn’t start acting like a nurse until after she realized things had gone too far for her to cover anything up. Instead of calling an ambulance immediately, Liz gambled that she could somehow get Shaboom help without telling everybody about Lucky and she lost. Now she’s in deep sewage, people are hurt, and it’s her fault. She’s not going to be able to cry her way out of this one.

    But to me there’s only one thing that really matters about today’s show – SHAWN GOT A DOGGIE! I’m so happy (sniff!) I don’t know what to do. I’ve been begging and campaigning for more pets (and fewer babies) on GH for over a year. Please, please, please, let him keep the little guy. Can he? Huh? PLEASE?
