Jason's True Friend Part 2

I couldn't come up with a better title for my blog than Penny had already done. As usual, I'm a day late and a dollar short on watching GH, but wow, was it worth it.

The interaction with Jason and Spinelli yesterday was just incredible, made more so, in fact, by the incredible acting of Steve Burton. I absolutely loved how his demeanor changed when Spinelli arrived. It was subtle (again, Steve played this to the nines), but he opened up in a way to Spinelli that he does with NO ONE else, including Sonny. You could feel a trust there that he just doesn't have with any other person in his life. Jason always feels a little - guarded. There was none of that when he spoke to Spinelli about everything he had been through in the past few hours.

Even though Sonny has children and might have been able to relate to Jason's feelings as a new father better than this "kid," it's obvious that he feels Spinelli understands him better than any relationship he has - even with Sam.

Bradford's facial expressions were dead on. With a character like Spinelli, it would be easy to overplay his physical reactions, but, as always, Bradford nailed the perfect blend of physical expression and tone of voice in conveying his emotions to Jason.

More importantly, Spinelli proved yesterday that no matter how in love he is with Lulu, he will ALWAYS root for the "right thing" with his friend.

Is that not the definition of "A True Friend?"
