Hi All,
I wasn't planning to post about Journey or JaSam but since it keeps coming up I figured that I may as well add to the crowd.
I was a pretty big Journey fan for a long time. Actually, I felt that my loyalty to the couple surpassed the writing for Jason and Courtney as did the loyalty of most of the Journey fans. About a year ago I got rid of my Journey edit tapes and stopped watching for Jason and Courtney,,in fact I ignored them if they were on. I had decided that the couple I saw in Journey was the one that tptb would never quite write for and I didn't want to continue to set myself up.
So imagine my surprise when I began to pay attention to the Jason and Sam scenes. I saw the writing for them that I had always wanted for Journey. When I saw that Jason and Sam were actually being considered a couple on the show I checked out some 'JaSam' fan sites. I can honestlly say that the fact that the JaSam fans were so nice about Journey made it easier for me to 'come out' as a JaSam FanLOL And I hope that that lasts. It's easy to become thingyy when your couple is on top but on soaps that only lasts for so long.
So now I'm watching GH for Jason and Sam and I'm much happier than I was when I watched for Journey. JaSam not only has the writing but Steve and Kelly have a comfort level that I never quite got when watching Journey. The writers seem to have moved passed their cartoon phase and that is what defined Journey and the rest of the show during the time that Journey was being developed.
I'd love to hear from Jouney fans as that is the first couple that I loved as an online fan and I feel that tptb screwed this fan base in several different ways. While saying that I dont' want Journey back together because I see so much more with Jason and Sam but I would love to hear how other Journey fans have handled the evolution of Journey into the couple that almost was.
