General Hospital spoilers suggest that fans are over the moon since learning last week that Steve Burton is bringing Stone Cold Jason Morgan back to Port Charles, New York.
It doesn’t get much better than this soap opera news! Watch the 60th anniversary tribute episode of the soap right away if you haven’t already. It was at this point when Jason’s reappearance was hinted at, and the enchanted scene would chill you to the bone.
Speculating on the various fantasy narratives that could emerge is the only thing left to do now that we know Old Blue Eyes is returning. The most important of them is what happens to the betrayer Dex Heller (Evan Hofer), who replaced Jason in Sonny’s group. Like that.
Jason Morgan Is Coming Home
Jason was presumed dead after he was crushed in a cave in a catastrophic scene. But soap fans know that their favorite characters routinely cheat death, many times over. In Jason’s case this is especially true and poignant.
That’s because Jason Morgan was once Jason Quartermaine. Back in the day he was a promising med student, dedicated to following in his parents’ footsteps. But that dream was shattered when the car his brother was driving crashed in a terrible DUI.
Jason Quartermaine perished in the accident and the survivor was taken in by Sonny. Eventually Jason morphed into Jason Morgan, a cold blooded assassin whose loyalty to his rescuer was never in doubt (unless you count that marriage to Carly Corinthos).
Jason Morgan Returns
Now that we know Jason is coming back to the fold, the rumor mill is lit with conjecture as to how his next chapter unfolds. First of all, who will be lucky enough to capture his heart?
Jason has had many loves including Carly, but no one seriously believes that Jarly will be a thing as long as they know Sonny is alive.
Then there was JaSam, the pairing of Jason and Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco). Sam is now with Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) so their reunion would be a stretch.
Before JaSam, Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) won Jason’s heart. She’s now with Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton) but fans are not shipping that union. Ultimately we’ll have to wait and see how Jason’s love life evolves, with endless possibilities existing.
How Will Jason Morgan Fit Back In?
What is more certain is that Jason usurps Dex and reclaims the role of Sonny’s right hand man. But wouldn’t it be much more dramatic if there is tension between these two, a connection that cannot be ignored? What if Dex was adopted and Jason is his father?!
