Meant no disrespect to long time fans, but honestly if someone just starting watching that day the only vibe they would pick up on is how uncomfortable the character Jason was–not how much Sonny loved him. I guess in some ways fans of the show are living what the characters are living– fans like you who knew the old Jason would be like Carly and Sonny and fans like me who only known Jason as Jake would be like Jake who can’t remember being that Jason. I think that is kinda cool we get to experience this story line from those different perspectives and I am glad you got to enjoy the reunion from the eyes of history- like I said no disrespect intended.

Hi MarySF. Please…no disrespect taken! Not at all. I was just giving.g you my perspective which was very different from yours. Thank you for hearing an opinion different from your own without defensiveness. It’s fun posting when people can hear each other even if they don’t agree.

While I agree with Harry about Sonny ruining Jason’s life..and Carly acting like she owns him…the way she’s acting even NOW…thinking she comes before Sam…and even Liz (I’m not on Liz’s side AT ALL in this but still, at this point Carly believes Liz was as shocked as everyone else). So, instead of Sam or Liz…Carly feels entitled to “need” Jason more…she always did that and it was infuriating to watch. Lol…I digress…

Even though Sonny took Jason..and reshaped him into his enforcer…and I hated that too…and hope THIS reborn Jason goes back to the Quartetmaines…there STILL was a genuine love between Sonny and Jason. Strong, unbreakable. And so seeing Sonny, who I’ve wanted to pay for the way he treated AJ forr years…and for killing AJ…I mean I REALLy wanted and still want him to pay…I couldn’t help but be moved by seeing Sonny…so weak, vulnerable, in the chair…cry for the return of his beloved friend. It was just, for me, a poignant moment. As for Jason being uncomfortable
…he’s going to feel the pressure, frustration…at not being able to remember and return those feelings to people he intellectually knows he knows…but can’t feel he knows. Makes sense…

To give you a bit more history, this has come full circle. When Jason was a Quartetmaine, loving of and loved by them…he was in a car crash…a drunken AJ, his brother, at the wheel. When Jason woke up in the hospital, he had no memory of who he was. Monica, Alan, AJ…they all loved him and showered their love on him…trying to get him to remember who he was. Frustrated, angry…he never regained his memory due to brain damage he suffered during the accident. Feeling pressured to loven e a family he didn’t remember, he rejected them…Sonny took him in and Jason Morgan was born…

Also ironically, Sonny and Carly faulted the Quartetmaines for trying to win him back; now Sonny and Carly are doing the same. Monica knows better from the last time around which is why she remains non pressuring…

Hope this fills in some gaps. Unless you already knew most of this…lol…but the history is rich, the emotions strong and for me…the heightened outpouring of love from Sonny was very powerful and true to the friendship he had and thought he had lost…

MB may be a prince of a man in real life and even display an occasional glimpse of humanity in his Sonny character, but enough is enough. “El Corinthos” is no role model, hero or pillar of the Port Charles community, and it’s time he stops being treated as such. If I had my druthers, both Carly and he would roll outta town tout de suite! (No pun intended there…..) They’ve spread their particular brand of poison for far too long, and I most definitely want to see this newly-reborn Jason avoid them like the soul-destroying plague that they are. His future should be as an upstanding citizen and a family man….no more mob-related activities! As for “Jake”….may we now dispense with referring to him with the prefatory “Little” since his “real daddy” is once again known as “Jason?” (That would be nice….poor kid will be getting an inferiority complex as if he hasn’t enough problems already…..) I’m still waiting for him to receive his evil-doing cues from Helena to wreak havoc….that pint-sized terror is just too convincing as a mini-psycho to let his Cassadine-ingrained tendencies go to waste without further deployment….maybe for Christmas???? (That’s the way Ron C would have played it, with a heavy dose of holiday-themed sarcasm….) In terms of Morgan? He’s rating darn crazy to me with that unfortunate cropped do…perhaps instead of meds a mere makeover would brighten his mood! At any rate, I am trying with all my might to get back into this show….I made it through certain parts of this week’s earlier episodes and most of Friday’s…..yet it remains a tall order for me since I just cannot handle the still very obvious delineations between the old guard and the insipid newbies of Port Charles….as far as I’m concerned never the twain shall meet! Oh well, must go for now. Ciao, bella! P.S. So for which goon do you think Robin’s menacing “Mr. Man Bun” is working? Faison, Helena, or another unholy miscreant from GH’s cast of criminals past?

I’m totally with you on the notion that so much of GH is still being made up as the (new) writers go along, CeeCeeGirl!….However, at this point that is not necessarily their fault due to the fact they were left high and dry when they stepped in for Ron C….he certainly didn’t provide any sort of cogent blueprint for the future that they could follow…..all that remained were a sky-high stack of his red herrings, dropped storylines, flights of fancy and loose ends to tie up…. Whatta mess!!!! Whilst I do commend their efforts thus far, I wish that they would just drop a lot of the newer characters and plot directions that so clearly are not working. To continue to compound those mistakes is so former regime…then again, these ladies must still take orders from FV and the higher ups, who simply won’t seem to get with the program on getting rid of all of the excessive deadweight. Thus far, they have yet to dismiss even one single character that is truly the problem….just other fan favorites that fuel the fire of viewer alienation. As for the Robin wrap-up, I’m also with you on that one….I hope it is finally done with some sense of logic, normalcy and deference to her character’s true nature and past with Patrick, Anna, et al. The holes in this long-neglected story have been so huge Kiki could have cleanly driven through them even in her most inebriated and impaired state…..LOL. Same for all this twisting in the wind where “Little Jake” and his inculcated “bad seed” tendencies are concerned….it’s time to let all h#!! break loose so that this poor child can receive the help and attention he so desperately and obviously requires.

Jason has sustained brain damage which rendered him unable to remember his identity and the memories attached to his identity.
Sonny took advantage of Jason when he was his most vulnerable and did not respect him in the morning.

CeeCee, an astute observation. When you think about it, just knowing Jason is alive and well is so healing mentally for Sonny, that it will indeed accelerate his quest and ability to walk again. Or we may come to find out that Jason has healing power, vis a vis laying on of hands. Who knows CeeCee, maybe that hand clutch, will have Sonny up and about in a few days. Jason could have a new calling. Who knew.. LOL
