Greg doesn't know Sara. Greg does make her happy, but he's never been around when Sara was sad and needed comfort. Sure Grissom is taking freaking lot of time to take his head out of microscope, but he's always been there when Sara needed him. I don't think Sara could ever share her deepest thought and darkest secret with Greg.
I can offset that train of thought by saying that Grissom was the one available to offer comfort for obvious reasons:
1. At the time of the lab explosion, Greg was in the hospital;
2. When she was arrested for the DUI, they called her SUPERVISOR, he was there by default, not because he rushed to her side to offer support. He may have been concerned, but you'd expect that, I'd HOPE, of a decent supervisor;
3. Again, this season, when she was suspended, Grissom went to her apartment in an OFFICIAL capacity.
And please note...the ONLY person we saw address the suspension and check up on Sara was Greg when he invited her to talk about it...that's the act of a friend acting because they chose to...not like Grissom's necessity due to his supervisor position.
Additionally, Greg was instantly supportive of Sara when he spoke to Catherine about the suspension. His words were "She's always had my back." That certainly sounds to me as if he feels there has always been a supportive and friendly relationship between the two for some time, all teasing aside, and discounts the GSR stance that the Greg/Sara relationship is coming out of left field. Rather, it's been a relationship with slow, steady, growth; unlike the hero worship element that Sara holds for Grissom which clouds her judgment.
Therefore, Greg showed more care and concern than Grissom did.
I know GSR has been stretched long for tv series and guess Jorja is tired of it as well, but if they go Saragreg route, the five years of GSR will not make any sense at all. Though I love GSR to death, I'm with Sara if she wants to move on...but with Greg?
This is a GSR argument which never makes sense to me. Why do GSR supporters feel that ANY on-screen romance needs to make sense? Simply bacause there have been hints of it? It's not as if the producers/writers have ever flat out said, "The romance between Grissom and Sara is the direction the show will take." If anything, they've done their best to skirt around the issue and NOT commit to anything.
Given their LACK of commitment, there is no valid reason why the direction of any relationship on the show can't change and evolve. Real life relationships change all the time, they evolve. This is what leads to couples breaking up, divorce, etc. So why can't Sara "move on" from a disinterested Grissom to someone who has always been supportive and interested?
GSR is so powerful and deep.
Actually, I think it's tired and dead, which is why Jorga suggests in this article that Sara is moving on. I think, as an actress, she'd like to try something different with the character. The last few years, Sara has been a very unhappy person. She's been through some counseling this past season. Who knows what issues she'd addressed and decided to leave in the past, as she stated in Committed. Did those issues only revolve around her mother, or other things in her life which have been unfulfilling...i.e. her non-relationship with Grissom?
Ok don't be mad at me Sara/Greg fans, but I'm still trying to warm up for it.
Naw...I enjoy a good debate, as long as everyone is respectful to each others opinions. Besides, how can we warm you up to the Greg/Sara ship if we don't try to get you to remove your GSR blinders?
Sometimes I wish they bring another nice character for Sara who loves her, makes her happy and tries to understand her...just someone out of work.
I actually wouldn't mind Sara with Vartann...I like looking at him much more than I actually like looking at Eric Szamanda, who frankly doesn't do much for me (ducks the glares from the other Sandles!).
