There has been a major shift in General Hospital‘s Jason. He is leaving the mob and vows to be a good dad. Why now?
Key Takeaways
- Jason has vowed to be the best dad he can be.
- He is leaving mob life in the rearview mirror.
- This was Sam’s wish, and he realizes that Danny needs him after he lost his mom.
- Tracy acknowledged that Alan and Monica would approve of his decision.
Jason’s Priorities Have Shifted
Jason (Steve Burton) changed the moment the WSB took him away. Hearing Danny’s (Asher Antonyzyn) screams as the van pulled away affected him tremendously.
For most of Danny’s life, Jason’s priority has been his loyalty to Sonny (Maurice Benard). That has now changed. He may have wanted to leave the mob life before to protect his loved ones, but this time is different. Now he wants to be the best dad he can be for his son. Danny needs to be his focus, and that cannot be if he continues to protect Sonny.
Jason’s Family Would Be Proud
Although it was the right move, Jason’s split with Sonny was heartbreaking. These two men have been through everything together, and they feel like true brothers. Sonny didn’t even argue with him; he understood.
Jason brought up Sam (Kelly Monaco) and her wishes for their son. She always felt his life was too dangerous for Danny, and he is finally taking her feelings into account. He realizes that Danny lost his mom, and he needs to step up as a dad. Sam would approve of his decision.
His conversation with Tracy (Jane Elliot) was also eye-opening. She resented her nephew for a long time because his working for Sonny broke Alan (the late Stuart Damon) and Monica’s (the late Leslie Charleson) hearts. As a dad, Jason now sees how he hurt his parents, but Tracy assured him that they would also be thrilled that he is becoming the person they always knew he could be.
It’s never too late, and Jason is doing the right thing. Now, it’s Sonny’s turn. Do you believe that the mob days are behind them?
