I doubt Ron based his opinion on what Jason/Sam fans wanted. Burton quit, Monaco was doing DWTS, and apparently John was such a huge flop in his own right that they never bothered to integrate him. His story has amounted to being a deadbeat father and macking on a married woman. Fans didn't write that storyline. They also had little reason to do anything but spit on it.

Beyond the reason given on the show, I think this was mostly done for budget reasons. The NB looked very cheap that year in comparison to past years. I guess it wasn't JFP's style, or perhaps ABC told them it was time to pull the plug.

I was legit hoping that Spinelli would fall off the roof while he was up there lying on his ass getting wasted.

The girl who keeps puking on Britt is my hero.

I love how long it took Kristina to realize there was a LIVE PERSON in that trunk. Idiot.

OMG, poor Lila's wheelchair having an electrical malfunction ph34r.png ... "EDWARRRRRRRRRRRRD!!!"

So are they still planning it for June of this year? Talk about responsible early planning. They can't possibly talk about this thing for six more months.

I disagree, as it looks to me that Ron hasn't been willing to fully go there in fear of offending the delicate sensibilities of those stans. Even though that pairing/that character sucked, Sam has been kept in limbo - even after Faison kicked the roided goiter into the water - instead of making steps towards moving on with McBain as the story intended to be in the first place.

Not only is it unfair to me and other McBam fans, it's unfair to both KM and ME, whose characters haven't been able to make headway because of this misguided need to honor that worthless character.

If Ron cared about JaSam stans, he would not have severely written Jason OOC because Jason is a lot of things, but he'd never ask his wife to give up her child knowing how long she waited to have one. Jason takes care of kids, he doesn't throw them away. That's John. Ron went out of his way to make Jason look worse than John in the father department, and it failed. John failed on GH!

But like Carl said, Kelly was off the set quite a bit so there was not much that could be done to develop McSpam at that time. John on his own stood out like a sore thumbs in all scenes except with Anna.

I didn't think it was too bad. Some characters should not have been on and others should have been, but overall, for NY, it wasn't bad. Now, Christmas was aweful! Just aweful!

Considering that the roided goiter is the same assh0le who threatened to kill Sam over him being too pussyfied to answer for the resentment that she'd felt towards him shoving her aside for Liz and their plot point only to let those two go and have another dude raise his son because he couldn't be bothered to leave the thug life for them, I'd say that it's perfectly in character for him to ask Sam to give up her child in order to cushion his ego. As far as deadbeat dads go, he and McBain are in the same boat so I'm not seeing where he/JaSam were thrown under the bus to prop McBain/McBam. If anything, they're floating in mid-air because Ron would rather have Sam looking dead-eyed over the worthless bum that she married.

The only failure that I'm seeing with McBain on GH is Ron's refusal to completely move forward with McBam because he is inexplicably afraid of the backlash from those delusional stans and it's holding both he and Sam back.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse
