Dr. Chris Ramsey -- Best Support in Any Situation

This week, Chris didn't have any enormous amounts of screen time, but he made his presence felt.  It seems we always come back to the basic question:  Where does Chris fit in around Port Charles?  The answer is 
simple really.  Chris is the voice of reason when people least want to hear it.  While a lot of times it seems callous and rude, Chris speaks his mind and sometimes he hits the bull's eye.  This week, he got a chance to speak his mind more often than usual.  First, early in the week, Chris wondered who would fix Eve while she tends to other people's problems.  Besides stating the obvious, Chris also made his feelings clear about Eve.....Again.  For those of us who have watched their friendship flourish and watch Chris develop feelings perhaps beyond the realm of normal friendship, it was one more sign that Chris has in no way forgotten what Eve means to him.  Later in the week, Chris advised Karen to go to a 
Narcotics Anonymous meeting.  While Karen reacted harshly to his advice, he spoke as a doctor and for once, he also gave the advice of a possible friend.  He warned her to get support before she slipped off the wagon.  It wasn't a bad piece of advice, even if it wasn't given a warm reception.  Then, we C&E Cheerleaders got a scene that made us all sigh with joy and hope for the future.  When Chris gave Eve a back rub, he told her that he thought she was special and that both Ian and Kevin were fools to ever let her go.  Were these the simple words of a friend?  They could have been, but with the facial expressions we saw from Chris, we all know it was much much more.  Chris' feelings for Eve have never diminished, and it was never more clear than in the moment Chris told her she was special.  What do all of these things tell us?  That Chris tries his best to be a support to people, but his intentions are sometimes questioned as well they should be.  However, this week Chris wanted to help and he tried to do just that.  But just as always....you win some, you lose some.  We'll just have to see if that makes Chris any less vocal....my bet is no.  He hasn't let anything curb his desire to be heard yet, and I don't think that anything could make this one into a shrinking violet.
