GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jake Is Not Ready to Welcome Back Jason with Open Arms

Courtesy/ABC

On the Monday, April 1st episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) shows up at Elizabeth’s (Rebecca Herbst) house to thank her for being present at his arraignment. In true Jason fashion, he is sorry he did not come by sooner. Liz indicates that now is actually better timing than previously.

First, Jason acknowledges how Epiphany would be so proud, now that Liz is head nurse of GH. At that point, Jake (Hudson West) comes down the staircase ans is not happy at all to see his father standing there.

Then, the series finally leans into some of the unresolved issues facing this father and son.  Jake asks where Jason he had been; citing he did not bother to send any emails or try to call him or the family. Jason says he had to take a job he didn’t want and he swears to his son that he could not get in contact with him for many reasons. He asks Jake to please believe him.

Jason truly wants to spend time with Jake, but Jake says he can’t trust his father; especially since he has no idea how long he will be in town. At that point, Jake points out that Jason didn’t come back for him, and he is in front of him now and he still won’t explain anything to him. Liz chimes in that she understands Jake’s point of view, but she is very happy to see Jason is alive.

After Jason leaves, Liz sits down with Jake so the young man can air out his feelings about Jason. Jake gets angry with her for not coming down harder on Jason. Jake asks if she knew all along where Jason was and covered it up and lied to him. She swears to Jake she had no idea Jason was alive.

At the end of the scene, Jake says he feels guilty.  In Jake’s mind, he feels it was better when Jason was believed “dead” than him being alive and committing crimes. To try to build a bridge, Liz swears to Jake that Jason truly cares for him even if he doesn’t say it much.  She promises that in the future Jake will see that Jason will keep showing up for him.

What did you think of the scenes between Hudson West, Rebecca Herbst and Steve Burton? Will Jake come around and find common ground with Jason?

As long as Jason keeps showing up for Jake, Jake will believe it. The problem is, Jason hasn’t ever done that in the past. Carly, Sonny, and Michael have always been first. No man should choose another person over his own kids. It’s wrong. Jason has a lot to make up for. I do love that Elizabeth’s faith in Jason is still as much front and center as it has always been. She knew immediately that he was different. they have always had this amazing bond. I want this show to finally write for this amazing couple. They have been star-crossed for 25 years. Even when Jason came back the last time, Danny got all the attention and it seems the same this time around. Jason needs to dedicate time with Jake cause this is his last chance I am afraid. The problem is, once it’s revealed that Jason went away to save Carly, I don’t think his son is going to be so understanding.

I take back what I said. Jason Morgan is the biggest piece of crap on the face of the Earth. I hope Jake hates him forever. I cannot believe he chose Carly over his kids. They should have kept Jason dead.

I’m glad Jake let his dad know how he felt, it was nice for liz to be there for her son, and still let Jason know she was happy he’s alive, hope there’s more scenes w/this trio.

I’m not watching GH but I tell you Becky should be front and center she and Steve have chemistry but I do know that their are fans for Sam and Jason so yes I said nope and stepped out ! Good luck to all of you

If I was writing this Liz needs to tell Jason you are the father of my child but please leave us alone it’s over . You chose your life and unfortunately so did cry baby Lucky

Becky loves her kids and she can handle it but please give me just one scene where she tells Carly to go to hell do not pass go do not collect any money just leave me and my family alone

Hudson West is a talented young actor. He was fantastic is the scenes with Steve and Becky. It’s hard to believe he’s been on the show for about seven years now. I hope we get to see more of him in the years to come as Jake is part of the next generation.

I can see why Jake is upset. Like I figured, he is angry and hurt that his dad let him believe he was dead and feels like Jason abandoned him. And he isn’t wrong for feeling that way. Even Jason said he understands if he feels hurt and angry. I’m glad Elizabeth sat Jake down and told him Jason loves him and explained that his dad doesn’t make things up, he tells the truth, and he doesn’t lie. She also told him that Jason won’t give up on him and will keep showing up until Jake realizes he loves him. I just hope the writers give Jason and Jake a chance to rebuild their relationship.

Glad that this is becoming the Jason arc instead of a returning to the canvas Jason

There’s PLENTY of story Jason can have and I’m glad the writers are going down a route as to where is presence is needed more than his countless explanations of why he disappeared.

The storytelling of Jason’s return so far has been fruitful with endless potential if continued.

I don’t have much patience with Jake whom I’ve always liked, especially with Franco. This boy is old enough to understand where his Dad’s coming from, Danny does and he’s much younger. Jason tried to explain that he would have gotten in touch if he could have but it was impossible. Jake is being a little self-centered and immature.

The issue isn’t the situation Jason is in. It’s about the decisions & choices he’s made in life & it’s having a negative effect on his family. You can’t pop in and out of people’s lives and expect for them to welcome you back with open arms. That’s not how real life works.

At least his scene with Jake was emotional; you could feel Jason’s love for his son even though he didn’t move toward him physically. I didn’t get that with his reunion with Danny. There was literally no sense of feeling. I get that Jason was hurt and Danny just wanted to help his dad. But at SOME point there could have been a hug; a father and son moment since Danny wasn’t brimming with hostility like Jake is. Same with Liz. Liz was in love with Jason; she’ll always have a love for Jason. To see him alive after believing he was dead should have been portrayed with much more emotion. Everything feels flat to me other than Jason and Carly’s scene when she first saw him. Everyone else acts like he was just out of town for a while.

I blame the writers. They wrote the scenes to play out that way. It odd that no one seems happy that Jason is alive! And the fact that everyone except Carly, Michael and Joss was against him is out of character for Sam, Liz, Jake, and Sonny, etc. It has ruined Jason’s return.

I really want Jason and Jake to be close again and here’s some advice to the father and son pair start loving each other again and work it out for once because life’s to short.

Jason needs a legit HOUSE for his kids to come over.

They practically don’t know who he is

Jason chose to leave his children. Jason decided on his own that Carly was more important than his sons. Jason Morgan used to be my favorite. I loved and adored Liason. They had this sweet, blossoming friendship that grew into love. She saved him from death so many times, and yet Carly, the one that cheated on him and betrayed him time and time again, is what he chose to stick around. Out of misguided promise to Carly.

Jason Morgan was so desperate for his own child that he tried to raise Sonny’s daughter by taking in his mistress. Every wrong decision Jason has ever made comes back to Sonny and Carly. Jason literally gave up a life with his son, for them.

That entire danger danger story was the most ridiculous thing ever. Michael was shot. Carly banned Sonny from his room. Elizabeth got to watch Jason hold Carly’s hand while she was dumped and his child was pushed aside. That is NOT and never will be Jason Morgan. Jason Morgan would have loved his child.

This man that is walking around in Jason Morgan’s body is a pod person. Personally, I think when they were in Mexico, I think he was drugged and or brainwashed cause what came back was a transplant. He was POD Jason and he has been ever since. This show is going to meet it’s end really soon. They may have just recently resigned another deal, but mark my words, this shoving Jarly 24/7 down our throats will be the death of this show. Very few want to watch this incestuous relationship.

Haley Pullos Receives 90-Day Jail Sentence Following DUI Charge And Wrong-Way Car Crash

Former General Hospital actress, Haley Pullos (ex-Molly Lansing-Davis) is going to be doing time in jail, exactly one-year after her arrest from a hit and run wrong-way car collision.

The crash resulted in bodily harm and damages to the other driver, and now Pullos who pleaded “no contest” to the charges and will serve 90 days in jail. She was taken in custody on Monday, April 29th, after the ruling.

According to Haley’s attorney, Mark Daniel Melnick, the 25-year-old actress struck a plea deal and after her three months in jail will be sentenced on July 29th. As part of that sentencing, she must serve five years probation, 200 hours of community service and pay $8,260 in restitution to Courteney Wilder, the other driver in the crash and her driver’s license is revoked for a year.

According to TMZ, the plea deal for Pullos has the “no contest” to one DUI, while the judge dropped the felony DUI causing bodily injury and misdemeanor hit and run charges.

Melnick said in a statement to PEOPLE, “Haley is very grateful to the court for a minimum sentence and for recognizing her remorse and the strides she has made in her sobriety.”

Pullos had played the daughter of Alexis Davis (played by Nancy Lee Grahn) on the ABC soap opera since 2009, but after her car crash and DUI she was replaced by three different actresses until the show finally settled on the current Molly, Kristen Vaganos.

Back in April 29 of 2023, and at the scene of the crash, the police found edibles and mini-bottles of tequila in Pullos’ vehicle and that she was intoxicated. As it turned out, this was to be the second hit and run in the evening for Pullos who had an earlier collision with another car.

The courts decision follows a year-long legal battle with Haley’s pleas changing throughout it, ranging from “not guilty” to “no contest”. She sought treatment for her drinking at a rehab following the crash.

Nancy Lee Grahn, who portrayed Pullos’ on-screen mom took to X on Monday night, April 29th and shared on the sentence and the specific jail, Haley will be serving time: “As Haley’s TV mom I can tell some truths about her as I’ve loved her since she was little girl. She made a HUGE mistake, knows it, owns it & has spent the last yr doing EVERYTHING imaginable to take responsibility 4 it. It’s not that I oppose jail. It’s that I oppose this jail.” The jail in question by Grahn is the L.A. county jail.

So, what do you think about Haley Pullos serving a 90-days jail sentence, and the other rulings that will be part of her sentencing? Comment below.

Jack Wagner Recalls Dilemma During Time on General Hospital: “It Was So Hard for Me Being in the Music Business and Coming from a Soap to be Taken Legitimately as a Singing Artist”

Soap fans first met Jack Wagner back in 1984 when he joined General Hospital as Frisco Jones. While they loved Frisco and Felicia’s (Kristina Wagner) on-screen romance, one might recall that when Frisco first came to town he was the lead singer of Blackie’s (John Stamos) band, Blackie and the Riff Raff.

During his early days on GH, Wagner was also working on his rising musical career, which put him at a serious crossroads. Things got even more challenging, when Jack became a pop star after the release of his 1985 single, “All I Need” which hit the Top 10.  The character of Frisco actually sang the song on GH, before it went on to become a mega-hit.

While Wagner appeared on GH through 1995, and reprised the part for several episodes back in 2013, fans to this day miss him and hope one day he might return.

Speaking with PEOPLE, Wagner admitted his inner conflict with being a soap star, while trying to have a successful musical career.  Jack reflected, “I used to battle it, because it was so hard for me being in the music business and coming from a soap to be taken legitimately as a singing artist. It took time to let go of that, but now I embrace it. If I can make someone’s day by going down memory lane, it makes my day.”

In his early musical days, Wagner released six albums, and his role on GH didn’t hurt the frenzy surrounding seeing him live. “I would sell concerts out in an hour or two,” Jack admitted.

Looking back at the GH hey day, in which he was a part of, Wagner added, “It really was incredible how popular the show was in the ’80s. It was crazy, because back then, people would join fan clubs, and there would be bags and bags of fan letters. I took it in stride, because it was just sort of the things (that) happened to Tony Geary (ex-Luke), Rick Springfield (ex-Noah) and John Stamos, who were ‘teen idols,’ I guess you would call us, back then.”

Wagner currently appears on Hallmark’s When Calls the Heart Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.

So, do you remember Jack’s musical taking off during his time on GH? Do you hope that one day he might make a return as Frisco Jones on the ABC daytime drama series? Comment below.
