Sam Bashing 101
I dislike her so much that I cannot wait until she gets off of my screen. Let’s talk about how much Sam sucks. In order to do that we must go into Sam’s life in PC in a little detail… First of all, she is introduced to us as a thief and a con-artist. Sure that might have been intriguing but not with our GH writers. Since the moment they brought her onto the screen, I have not liked her. The first time I truly noticed how much she sucks is when she sabotaged Jax’s car so that she could get her grubby little hands on the “Dead-man’s hand”, and then Jax’s father died before the cards could work their magic (btw… WORST storyline ever!). After she did him like that, Jax was somehow able to forgive her or get along with her or whatever, and he started to help her with her salvage boat and gave her a lucky charm or whatever and helped her keep some independence. And then the girl meets Sonny via a kidnap attempt and is smitten by his awesome kidnapping prowess. Then she went and slept with both Sonny and Jax in the same night (with ne’er a shower in between). That let me know right there that she was a slut. If you can recall, she didn’t want Jax to tell Sonny or whatever, like she didn’t just willing jump his bones. (I’m just saying, if it was me, and I was trapped in a fire-filled hotel, I would be trying to get the hell out, not get off, if you know what I mean). Then, once she realized she was indeed implanted by Sonny’s magic seed, she all of a sudden was in love with him. And then she got her azz dumped and sent over to Jason’s, where she still tried to insinuate herself over at Sonny’s place every chance she could (but we are supposed to forget that and believe that Carly would EVER actually like her and want her with Jason now). See we all forgot this little aspect of Sam’s character… even back then she was obsessed instead of being “in love”, esp. if it was with someone she couldn’t have. Then I must admit (I know this sounds/reads bad) but she got a little less annoying when she lost that baby. I got to see a little more emotion/humanity from her and she and Jason really connected over the loss of her baby. And weren’t we all excited about that kiss that they had: as she slowly and drunkenly fell to the floor and kissed Jason (once again, early signs: we should have known that Sam likes to do all her business on the floor). And they had some really sweet moments and I didn’t hate her so much. Oh but then she started with her whole “I hate Alexis and everything bad that’s ever happened to me is because of her”… You know b/c Alexis causes the sun to set and the moon to shine in its absence.
Then when Alexis was forced to do her job, instead of being mad at Jason for making you a target, you once again run around town screaming at everyone you can visualize making sure that they all know that you are once again a target b/c of Alexis (no, it has nothing to do with your mob ties, not at all). Then she decides to go all Johnny Quest to find out who her real mother is. That, of course, just happens to be Alexis (*insert eye roll here*). Once again Alexis is the reason why everything that went wrong in her life (are you seeing a recurring theme here much like GH’s dialogue?). And she and Jason just COULDN’T figure out why Alexis would give up her child (you know, the child she had when she was 16). But then she gets shot and Jason tells Alexis that Sam’s her kid and even though Alexis doesn’t like her azz to begin with esp. since she turned stalker, she accepts her into her and her children’s lives with open arms, freakin goes and buys a HOUSE so that Sam can move in with her family, and shows Sam what a real mother is (more than Carly ever will be no matter how many times those people try to tell me differently) by trying to keep her safe/alive by getting Jason to stay away from her. Sure Alexis was a bit over the top (and also got on my very last nerve), but she was doing it out of love. And in her defense, all she did was influence (not make) Jason’s decision.
Sam is just a plain nasty, slept with her mother’s husband, breaks promises daily, selfish, and does not believe in taking showers in between various sleeping partners harlot. The writers have written this character to unredeemable status (hell, I would be able to swallow Ric’s redemption before hers, just give his azz a brain tumor), and there is just no use for her in PC any longer. She needs to be the one that dies come Sweeps. Sorry for the long rant and the Sam-Bashing101 (there IS so much of that going around as of late isn’t there?)… Thanks for Reading, Feel free to contact me with your thoughts: myveryownmiry@gmail.com |
