Thank you to SonnyBrenda for sending these in to me. These are a collection of posts from around the net regarding General Hospital and Jason and Elizabeth. There was an overwhelming response from both fans of Liason, JaSam and fans of the show itself. Each group will get their own mailbag entries. Part II of Liason Fans Speak Out and Part II of JaSam fans speak out will be posted later tonight.
{xtypo_quote}I deleted the show off my DVR a month ago. Don't know if it will make a difference or not the but the show is a HUGE crapfest. I don't even yt [YouTube] anymore. Not worth wasting my time. The storylines either drag on forever or are dropped completely. Since when is sweeps about redeeming ONE character?? It was like this summer and them shoving loo loo down our throats. I would love to enjoy the show again and when they begin writing it for the whole cast and carry some decent stories I will absolutely tune in again." -Posted by ABC msg board poster, PlsKillSamOff{/xtypo_quote}
{xtypo_quote}After 30 years I am done. Liason is gone and so am I. -JasLiz3{/xtypo_quote}
{xtypo_quote}I have pretty much been done with this show for the past couple of weeks. I saw the warnings months ago and didn't want to believe it but knew in my heart the writers would screw Liason fans once again..........and they did! Frons and Guza are so off the wall it's not even funny. Rebecca Herbst rocked her scenes today but what Elizabeth said to Patrick was beyond belief. There they go making liars out of the characters again, re-writing history and insulting the intelligence of the audience!
I have not dvr'd GH for 2 weeks now. I hate this show beyond belief. I couldn't even watch the montage on you tube........totally made me sick. Steve and Becky have my support in whatever they do out of GH but I cannot stomach supporting the crappy stuff they have been given and what they have done to Liason. I cannot believe what this show has come to. It's a disgrace." -JnLhatespam{/xtypo_quote}
{xtypo_quote}After 30 years I've already stopped watching. The name should definitely be changed. It's all MOB and I'm sick of it. I don't mind it being part of the show but it's 'been' the show all year. Love and adventure and family - those were the good old days. Some could say I'm getting old. I say, I miss good actors with good story lines. -Cillabd{/xtypo_quote}
{xtypo_quote}I'm done as well, and yes Liason is a big part of why I am through, but it's not the only reason. Like Crispy said we have enough violence in the real world, we don't need it on our show too." -Boo_buriedLuLulLilasrosegarden{/xtypo_quote}
{xtypo_quote}GH used to be the show I'd be most excited to watch when I got home from work. Sadly that is not the case. The promo they ran with Jason and Elizabeth and other couples all about love earlier this fall was fantastic! I was so excited that maybe the couples I love would be written for. Three weeks ago, I stopped dvring GH. The show was clearly doing the opposite of what they had promoted. In a world filled with violence, I watch television to escape that. GH however glorifies violence, and criminal characters. The current story where they are making Sam, who committed pretty horrible crimes that involved guns, against children, into the savior of the child she watched get kidnapped, is reprehensible. Sam was the reason the fast forward button was created. And GH is now the reason I hit the OFF button. - JasonElizabethMorgan{/xtypo_quote}
{xtypo_quote}If GH wants to keep viewers in the future, they better stop recycling stories from the past. I was loving Lucky/Sam and Jason/Elizabeth! But this sweeps story was out of left field, contrived, and made no sense. If General Hospital is going to play musical couples, then this viewer is out of this game. I watch GH for the love stories they made famous, classics like Sonny/Carly, Sonny/Brenda, Jason/Elizabeth, Patrick/Robin.-DisAppointedGH{/xtypo_quote}
{xtypo_quote}Elizabeth brings out the goodness in Jason, which we rarely see due to GH's focus on the mob. It's fine to have a show about the mob, but some happy moments, and love stories need to be given equal importance. I'd rather watch a mobster who's also shown to be in love and with his family, than one who goes around just shooting stuff up every single sweeps. Redundancy is not good television. -LizFF{/xtypo_quote}
{xtypo_quote}I must say that I'm hanging up my posting fingers b/c after 35 years of watching GH, the last 2 years have been horrible, I don't recognize this soap opera anymore and all the flipping of scripts to showcase non-talented actors/actresses is the chitpit, while veterans are backburned and premier characters are killed off.
Yes I'm a true Liason Fan and proud to admit it. I have waited 10 + years for this couple to "finally" be a couple. Now I have been jerked around b/c TPTB decided that fans don't garner an afterthought.
There are no happy couples anymore, not even Scrubs is happy. There is an overabundance of mob violence that is dominating the show. If I want to see daily violence I can tune into the news or walk out my door. I want to be able to tune into GH to escape for an hour to romance, laughter, intrigue & mystery, not all this violence or the shooting or kidnapping of children. Add to the fact, all these inconsequential newbies they keeping bringing to the show to shove down my throat. Why not accentuate the actors you have on contract and quit bringing back old favorites making them into new characters that just don't cut it." - Crispy829{/xtypo_quote}

Reply to Personspeaking You know I don't who Personspeaking is... But you must have smoked yourself stupid! You have no clue for every JaSam fan there is 10 liason fans.... We have been voted on MANY Soap sites and TvGuide Website as ONE of the BIGGEST fan bases... JaSam fans can walk around half smiling now, but in the end, liason will smile brightly and when we do, close your blinds baby cause it will be bright in the city! |

LIASON ARE THE COUPLE FOR 2009 I have loved Liason since the days when Liz believed Lucky was dead and Jason was the person who touched her soul. These two belong together. Soaps aren't about "the same" kind of people being a couple. What makes a great soap couple is two opposites who love each other thru their differences, and that is Liz and Jason. Jason doesn't need to be with a woman who over looks his killing. He is better than that and Liz knows it. As a fan of this show I am barely hanging in there hope that the show gets it right FINALLY for Liason. Liason in 09 |

GH missing the boat Jasam's ugly break up in jail got a bump, Lucky/Jason fighting over Jake's paternity got a bump, Liason straddle scenes got a bump. i think that's what interest people with the quad,but for some reason that escapes me, they just wont write about those things. They wont write a true lucky/jason rivalry, for what reason I dont know. It's way too soft and fuzzy between those two men they should hate each other. they wont write romantic liason, for what reason I dont know. they wont write Sam as the troublemaking b*tch which is what Kelly is good at and the audience responds to with her she was really interesting during that time she was involved in the kidnapping etc and since LuSam and this silly stuff with her needing to be saved once a week she's just blah again. they're slashing their own throats by not writing what, imo, people really want to see with the quad and what people actually respond to with the ratings not just write in with campaigns about. |

Barely Recognize GH The current writing on GH is damaging the show in my opinion, specifically characters and their history. Jason would never go back to Sam not even be friends with her, and Liz would not go back to Lucky after saying it was a mistake to marry him the first time because she loved Jason and she would not have said the things she did about not knowing Jason cause if anyone knows Jason it is Elizabeth. She saved him how many times in the past she knows who he is and always did. The writing is contrived, the stories are weak and GH is not the show I used to love to watch. So I no longer watch. I barely recognize GH, and am sickened by it. |

LIASON BELONG TOGETHER! MY EMAIL TO THE POWERS THAT BE: (this was originally sent in 2 separate emails to each): Dear Ms. Sweeney and Mr. FRONS, I am writing to about my favorite soap- my escape from reality after a bad day at work- GH. I am very distraught by the latest turn of events of breaking of Liason again for the billionth time in Dec 2008. I have been a loyal viewer of GH since 1997 and fan of Liason for 9 yrs. I stuck by through the Courtney years, through the Sam years, through the Ric years and the latest LNL2 marriage in 2006. I always watched w/ hopes that my favorite "make me root for you" couple - Liason- would finally get together. The chemistry that Jason and Liz (and Becky and Steve) share on screen is unparalleled to any couple since Brenda and Sonny in my opinion. But hey at least Brenda and Sonny had a REAL chance to share a life together for a while and had moments of happiness. Liason's moments of happiness are for about 2 seconds and then cut short. It is an absolute out and out rip-off! Why are they (Frons and Guza) screwing with the Liason fanbase this way? Obviously they have some secret agenda for their girl Sam (kelly monaco), who is the most ridiculous underdeveloped character on the canvas. She HAD her chance at happiness w/ Jason for 2 YEARS! They lived together, said their "I love you's", were a family (minus kids) for all that time. So why should they get a SECOND chance when Liason hasn't even gotten ONE chance at a really family life and living together? Yes I was very happy when Liz had Jason's child. Ecstatic is more the word. However instead of tapping into this gold mine of a storyline they had in front of you, they continued to do this "push, pull" with them for the past 2 yrs. They actually saw each other more when she was pregnant and kept running into Jase on the docks, at the coffee warehouse etc then after she had the Jake. He got to spend maybe a total of 3 visits with his son. The reason I feel in love w/ the character of Jason Morgan lo many years ago was not because of his looks, but b/c of the way he was protrayed as a heart of gold father to baby Michael. So why on earth would you deny the fans the pleasure of seeing Jason Morgan "father part 2" denied?? Jake is now 1 1/2 yrs old and has spend barely any bonding time w/ his father. I don't want to see Lucky bonding w/ the boys that aren't his. Jake is Jason's FLESH AND BLOOD. That has got to count for something! I have enjoyed their scenes over the past few years, but have never gotten the full PAYOFF that this Liason fan deserves. And I am talking about a REAL family life for Liason! Watch the new and reincarnated Patrick and Robin and that is what I am talking about! Jason should be able to spend time w/ Jake and Cam and the love of his life Elizabeth. Yes he is a criminal, so manage to write something that incorporates all of this. I don't see Sonny being celebate all these years. Sure he's had his problems, but he has still had moments of happiness w/ his children Morgan and Michael and Carly when they were married. There are MANY dangerous professions in this world- cops, fireman, FBI agents etc and they all manage to have family and children and NO they are not ALWAYS target as you have Jason continually say. If I have to hear the "my life is too dangerous for you" speech one more time, I will scream. It's too much! Oh but that same life ISN'T too dangerous for clumsy, always in trouble Sam? So for 2009, I want to see my couple Liason FINALLY together. And when I say that I don't mean random secret meeting or running into each other with longing looks at the hospital (however that does add to the angst). I want them married (or not), living together w/ their kids. I want love in the afternoon w/ Jason and Liz. I want Jason spending time w/ his son Jake and also w/ Cam (b/c he's just TOO cute for words!) Yes Jason will still have his mob job and it will get in the way at times, but let them be together for it all and fight together as a family unit! Yes I know this is a soap opera and it won't last forever, but give them a year or two to play this out on our screens. I am imploring you to do this. When I hear about them setting Liz up with some suitors and Jason sharing a kiss w/ Olivia so soon after Liason's heart-wrenching break up at the courthouse where Jason actually cried REAL tears (I dont seem to remember him doing this w/ Sam). Or Jason and Sam reuniting after Jason said "he would kill her" a year ago, makes me sick to my stomach. Please change the storylines around and here's to a Liason STORYLINE in 2009! Please make mine and many others' dreams come true! I have stopped watching GH and will not come back until I read that Liason will be back together again. Please make this happen. YOU HAVE THE POWER TO DO SO! Thank you for your time and for listening, A HUGE Liason fan |

Complete Crap For Jason to EVER return to the woman he completely abandoned when he realized he could finally have Liz, then threatened twice to kill is so completley out of character that the ratings reflect what BS people think this is. Liason fans, Liz fans and many Jason fans finally turned off their televisions. The show cannot survive on a 2.0 rating and a 1.2 demo. The show is done. They screwed over the biggest and most loyal fanbase for the last time. Jason's character is ruined, Sam looks more pathetic than ever and again a replacement for the woman they really want and that is Liz. |

Missing Liason So Much Actually this comment is too the poster Sharon, Hi Sharon, just wanted you to know that your not alone and so many other fans feel the sameway you do. GH has stabbed us in our hearts one too many times and it's unbearable to even think about watching GH right now knowing they have destroyed the best couple on daytime television. Anyway, please be encouraged to know your not alone in your love for Liason. TIIC have destroyed their love for now but they can't destroy the many memories and all the YT scenes we have. |

Jason and Elizabeth - Uncondional Love Up until recently Jason and Elizabeth were a couple who represented a couple with uncondional love. They accepted each other for 9 years in a friendship that turned to love. The kidnapping story ruined them because Sam and Lucky were in the story. It should have brought them together with their son but it ended them for Sam's redemtion. I have watched this show for 30 years and regret one thing: I fell in love with this Couple. I don't know how they expect me to watch the show ever again. I can't stand watching Jason with Sam. I hung in their for 2 years waiting for them to be together married with Jake. I can't understand why GH cant write them together like this some how. If they can write a stupid ending with Sam they could give me 6 months of happiness with Jason and Elizabeth together with Jake. I think GH has stabbed me in the heart by ending this couple. Now they feed me salt to my wound and it hurts everyday. I have stopped watching the show because I can't stand how they are ruining Jason and Elizabeth. I think GH writes and producers are clueless to what they have done in regards to fans of this couple and Jason and Sam. We fight online all the time about our couples. I think it is sad, if they would have given us some time of happiness as a family I wouldn't be bothered by Sam going back with Jason. It is so unbelievable to me and there is no way I will ever watch again. Unless they get a clue and reunite this Uncondional Love Couple that is in daytime TV. |

A copy of the newspaper advertisment is posted at TC http://thecanvasmessageboard.yuku.com/topic/12231 Newspaper Ad Proclaims: Chicago Says "Reunite Jason & Liz!" 12/24 edition Lead [-] I guess there's something to be said for braving the Chicago cold and ice today. I bumped into a neighbor of mine who said, "Hey... did you see the Sun-Times? There's a classified ad in there for Jason and Elizabeth." So back out into the cold and the snow and the ice... did I mention ice? to my local store to grab a copy of today's paper and flip through it while standing in the store and what the holiday holly and mistletoe do you know!? There -- front and center in the Announcement Section of the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper.... Well, jingle my bell! Or rather... Jingle the comment line's bell!!!! Because if someone cared enough to slap some coin down to put that ad in there... we just have to call and respond!!!!! So break out those cell phones and shout out loud to General Hospital! Let them know about the ad and that you, too, want Jason and Liz reunited! ****The 323 Comment Line is full... so use that 818 #**** 818-460-7477 Then press #1 #2 #3 and ext. 464 What a pretty, pretty Christmas present! Oh, and for our Illinois peeps? Grab your papers from today (I have no clue how long the ad has been there or if it will be tomorrow or what) and be sure to clip that ad out and send it on in to TPTB at General Hospital too! I don't get the Sun-Times, so if anybody who does can keep an eye on the paper and let us know if the ad appears again tomorrow... very much appreciated! |
