"Did I Imagine- Applause"

"If you thought S&C fans were a force to be reckoned with,
You haven't seen nothing yet!"

I can not remember when I was so glued to my television. I can not remember when I complimented Guza- or even if I ever did. Today him and Pratt deserved many thanks for orchestrating today's episode. And Maurice and Vanessa deserve a nice big raise.

Here we go again, S&Bers. We're embarking on another journey, which contains the longing stares. Alot of people may have been upset with the way Brenda treated Sonny- but you can not deny what an excellent show today was.

Similar to the warehouse fire when Brenda ran to Jax, Sonny's face dropped, his heart ached and his body yearned. His heart breaking every millesecond along with our own. Watching as she ran to Jax, ran to Alcazar and ran past him. His emotions exploded when the cop got fresh with Brenda. While he did his best to protect her and she ranted that she didn't need it right then and there was when you knew your favorite duo was back.

The tension, the pining, the feening... who could ask for more? Fans seem to forget or are not aware that when S&B are NOT together, they still manage to set the world on fire.. The eyes, the chemistry, and the undying love so apparent.

I watched today and was not discouraged. Some of our best scenes were when they were apart. Many intense confrontations and clarifications came from those scenes when they were not together, and I'm looking forward to seeing that again. Remember, nothing ever came easy for us, but the reward is worth the wait, just as Vanessa/Brenda was.

General Hospital's the Number one daytime drama- and that is because of Sonny & Brenda. And I think if todays scenes didn't knock them to number one on the ratings- it sure as hell is on it's way.

How can I not include the ending! With Sonny watching as Brenda defended him, and then watched from the interogation room as she ran into Ho-Bag-O-Bones! Carly's face was priceless- One look at Brenda and she knew that she too was in for a ride...one that hopefully won't have a happy ending for her. I couldn't help but read Brenda's expression as "Oh Jesus I don't have time for you!". The only thing that would make this show even better is if Brenda rips into that tramp with every fiber in her. It's about time someone shut that bitch up, and who better to do it then Sonny's first and only TRUE LOVE. And I DARE anyone to fight me on that. Because it will be a losing battle.

Previews? I can only hope that Brenda replies to Carlys "Who's your next victim" with one word..."YOU." And if she doesn't? We don't need words because we know...we knew when she covered her face, a battle was being waged.

Let the fireworks continue, for they have already begun!
