Fans, like myself included, are so upset with this story line that I will no longer tune in unless a discover a conspiracy is discovered soon and Jake is really alive. Gh was my escape but no more- destroying this character and closing the doors to so many story lines is the worst thing the writers could have done- hopefully they are smart enough to get that and show fans Jake is not dead after all. I will give it a few weeks (perhaps) , only because I'm hoping Jake is still out there, but if it appears the writers are sticking with the current storyline I will no longer tune into a show I've been watching for years.tblevins5https://www.blogger.com/profile/03615054200557414787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864344470910760864.post-89088061013864660292011-03-27T03:50:53.804-04:002011-03-27T03:50:53.804-04:00I hope you are right.

Why they chose to kill Jake, I have no idea other than to give JaSam a kid of their own. Yeah, I'm a Liason fan but I have long since given up on that ever happening. I couldn't care less how many kids Jason has with Sam. He can marry her and have the damn Brady Bunch for all I care. There was no need to kill Jake. This story is so bad. Not only because they killed Jake, but the pacing and the holes big enough to drive a semi through it. Don't tell me Elizabeth is up in Jake's room. Show me. Don't tell me that Cam knows his little brother is dead. Show me. Joss should have been ill for months, leading up to her being at death's door. Show me CarJax losing it. Then have Carly beg for Jake's kidney. And there is no way in hell I believe that Luke Freakin Spencer is going to end up a baby killer. How is Lucky ever supposed to look his father in the face again? How can Elizabeth ever forgive Lucky forgiving his father?

Lucky will drink himself onto the floor and be saved by Siobhan. Liz will be destroyed as Guza and Frons intended. Sam will have cancer or some other illness she will overcome as quick as joss in time to have the Jason baby to pathetically replace Jake. Jason will raise his child as now they realize Guza's lesson to all viewers that the mob is not dangerous to kids . Maybe they will even make Michael jason's kid as steve kept harping on the fact that Michael looks like Jake and Jason. Carly and Sonny continue to triumph and rule port Charles.

It is LAUGHABLE that Bobbie and Monica haven't been on...hell, they haven't even been MENTIONED! Not to mention Audrey...though I think "Gram" was actually uttered once or twice. GH is a horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE show...and has been for a long while. I could NOT care less about Sonny, Brenda, Jason and Sam...the "main" characters. They BORE ME TO TEARS.

Guza and his stable of talentless scribblers have destroyed the flagship of ABC daytime drama with ill-conceived plots, poorly developed storylines, total disregard of show history, devastation of core families, and the mob-centric filler which has been rammed down our throats for the last couple of decades. Let's face it, fans have always been more enamored with Maurice Bernard's dimples than with Sonny Corinthos' ability to control the city's warring mob factions. <br /><br />The current storyline which features the death of a child and the saving of another child through surgery is just another example of the dismal attempts to reach previously set standards. The rush to take the story back out of the hospital was evident in the the haste show Joss's recovery and provide emotionally charged footage for submission for Emmy consideration. The story lacked development and the necessary medical considerations involved in transplants. In fact, the entire story was a slap in the face of the viewers who have kept this show going for more than 4 decades. <br /><br />GH doesn't stand a chance of regaining it's strength as long as Guza and company have any say in what is happening, how it is happening, and when it is happening. What we have been seeing could have been written by a slow fifth-grader.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864344470910760864.post-78321176331248384172011-03-24T17:24:57.789-04:002011-03-24T17:24:57.789-04:00Jake is not dead.

It took one of the most powerfull and compelling stories on daytime- the Maxie/BJ transplant- and made a mockery of it. Why would the writers even go there if they weren't going to use some of the older characters to bring it all together. <br /><br />I think that killing off Jake was completely wrong and short sighted, BUT if they were going to do it at least they could have given it beautifully crafted storyline. <br /><br />Use your history and veterans. Bobbie's absence was glaring, for both Carly AND Liz. The scenes that could have been written for this should have been amazing, but they were not to happen. I understand budget concerns, but I think that if you asked all the viewers, they would rather have one less CGI explosion and have had Bobbie, Monica and Edward back for 2 days of taping. <br /><br />Instead they brought this in out on no where for a pupose that I don't understand ( I'm sure it has something to do with Jason) and will have it completely wrapped within two weeks.

Great blog! Always agree with you! <br />I've watched GH since I was 5 (1980) - grew up watching it with my grandmother. <br /><br />This storyline (Jake/Joss) was horrible (although the acting was great). At first, I almost didn't want to watch it b/c I knew it would be so sad. I cried when Tonya Jones died, BJ died, etc.... Not one tear when Jake died. It was almost laughable - the storyline was horrible. Like you said, so many missing characters (Bobbie, Maxie, etc....) and we didn't even have time to realize Joss was sick or even the chance to angst about her being ill and maybe not making it. So odd. And Jason watching Jake's surgery was horrible and so not reality. Plus, it angers me that they got rid of Jake b/c you could have had so much to write about storyline-wise in the future with him being Jason's son. <br /><br />Very shameful. So disappointed in this storyline and so many others right now. I hope they can turn this around. <br /><br />And, if Franco has Jake and switched the body - then GH is no longer a soap...it is science fiction b/c that is beyond real life. But....with that said - I can see them writing that Franco has Jake b/c he finds out that it was Jason's son. Ugh!Suzynoreply@blogger.com
