A GH Guest Column
"The Michael storyline is just so sad and
depressing. Everytime I see Michael lying in that hospital bed it just
makes me feel so sad. I keep thinking about Carly and Jason and what
they're going through.
My heart aches for Jason because he was
Michael's first "Dad". I know he was AJ's but AJ was never a part of
Michael's life (not his fault of course). Jason took that child into
his care when Carly was unable to, he nurtured and loved that little boy
like he was his own. He read to him, cared for him when he was sick and
was truely a father to him. You can see the anguish on his face and in
his eyes. Excellent acting by Steve Burton, I hope he will be nominated
for a Daytime Emmy next year.
Carly, feeling the guilt of the choices
she made in her life is difficult to watch as well. For as much as
I've disliked her character and the choices she's made, no mother should
have to see her child lying in a hospital bed not sure if they will ever
wake up again. Laura Wright has been amazing and if she isn't
nominated next year then they are crazy. She's finally realizing that
the choices she's made have been detrimental to her children's welfare.
Shame that it took this to wake her up.
Morgan, that poor little boy, seeing his
big brother whom he idolizes lying in bed. It broke my heart seeing him
try to wake his brother up.
Bobbie, comforting Carly is very
touching. It's nice to see Jackie Z. for a change. I'd like to see
more of Mike and Edward though. Why hasn't Edward gone to see his
grandson? Or did I miss that when I blinked?
Sonny, this is a hard one because I
despise him so much. I have mixed feelings because on one hand you can
see the pain, and on the other you just want to shake the man. The best
acting I've seen Maurice do since Stone died was when he was holding
Michael in his arms and looking about in confusion for help. It still
brings tears to my eyes thinking about it. Since that moment though I
just want to slap him. Blaming Jason was totally out of line but in
character. He always blames everyone else for his mistakes. The stupid
things he's been saying just have me rolling my eyes. I thought when
Lily died that he would have changed but it was not to be. Will THIS be
enough for him to make him get out of the mob? Who knows. He's all
about revenge still from what I've seen.
Kudos to Dylan Cash for all the hard work
he's been doing. It's been said before by many but I'll say it
again...it's hard to lay in a bed and not move a muscle, to not blink or
jump when someone leans over and kisses you. He's an amazing little guy
and I wish him the very best.
This story has affected me like no other
since BJ's death. Maybe because it's about a child. As a mother (or
father) you can't help but put yourself in their places and the
gut-wrenching feeling of helplessness they feel. Our jobs as parents
are to care, love, and nurture our children and when you see this type
of thing it just breaks your heart. It makes you want to grab your
child and never let go. I always kiss and hug my son every day but
lately I've been giving him that extra tight hug. It makes you realize
that each day is a blessing and that each person in your life is a
gift."
