General Hospital‘s Jason loved Britt, and Britt loved Jason. Unfortunately, love did not keep them together because he could not give her the one thing that was most important to her.
Key Takeaways
- Jason defended Anna, rather than take Britt’s side.
- Jason believes that Britt knew about Anna being held hostage.
- He doesn’t trust Britt.
- Jason is capable of trust because he trusts Carly.
Jason Doesn’t Trust Britt
Anna (Finola Hughes) held Britt (Kelly Theibaud) at gunpoint and was determined to kill her. Jason (Steve Burton) swooped in and saved her life, but that was where his loyalty ended.
Britt understandably wanted to go to the police and report the attempted murder. Jason, and many others, asked her to give Anna a break because she is mentally ill and getting help. But Jason had another reason for not defending his girlfriend. He believes that she knew that Anna was being held prisoner and did nothing to help her.
Britt swore up and down that she knew nothing about Anna’s captivity, but Jason would not believe her. Bottom line is that he does not trust her. A relationship cannot survive without trust, so Britt walked out the door.
Then There’s Carly
Jason may be “stone cold,” but he is capable of both love and trust. Jason and Carly (Laura Wright) have always had an unbreakable bond, which is why he ran to her after the breakup. He admitted to his friend that he would have believed her without question if she had given him Britt’s explanation, but it was different with Britt. He trusts Carly, and he always has.
Jason’s explanation led him to believe that something within him did not trust Britt. She asked him for something that he is capable of giving, but not to her. Right or wrong, it just wasn’t there, so there was no option but to end the relationship.
Do you think the breakup was the right move? Will Jason ever be able to trust someone other than Carly?
