So Jason is suddenly a lackey?

So what the hell was that yesterday? Yes, Jason turned on Sonny last year, taking over Sonny's business because of his relationship with Emily. Yes, their relationship is obviously still strained. But I was unaware that when Sonny took the business back that Jason signed on as "lackey." What else could explain his treatment of Jason yesterday?

I have no use for the character of Sonny. He's an overblown, egotistical caracature. That kind of character can be great on a soap, but he says the same things over and over and over again, and I find all the Sonny storylines tedious and boring.

That being said, the attack on Spinelli yesterday was over the top, even for Sonny. It went way beyond jealousy over the relationship between Spin and Jason. It not only proved that there is apparently no relationship left with Jason other than "boss and lackey" but that Sonny finds him completely ignorant and untrustworthy. Worse yet, Jason seems to agree since he barely tried to stand up for himself or Spinelli, even when he was told he was sloppy. Is this Guza's attempt to get the legion of Sonny fans he lords over to turn on the JaSpin friendship?

I will say that I was tickled when Spinelli didn't immediately drop everything he was doing to address Lulu. She needs to understand that Spinelli doesn't just sit around and wait for her to have a problem. He had an almost "duh" look on his face as he was telling her that perhaps she shouldn't attend the court hearing. This in no way negates his feelings about "the blonde one," but it shows growth for the Spin character and gives hope for a positive, mature relationship for SpinLu, however far in the future that may be (ack).

I am sickened that Spin apparently won't be there for Lulu during her breakdown over the rape reveal. This goes against the grain in a major way for the history of their relationship, but with Guza, all you can do is hang on and hope the ride doesn't make you too sick...

I do not like the way Spinelli is being treated right now. He hasn't done anything to deserve this kind of treatment. Sonny is just hoping spinelli screws up, so he can say, "I told You so" I hope this story line gets better for spinelli soon. I seriously have no idea what the writers are thinking about right now, but I for one am getting sick of Spinelli bashing!
