General Hospital‘s Jason has turned over a new leaf and is trying to be the best dad he can be. He is giving his son great advice, but Danny might be a little too much like his dad.
Key Takeaways
- Jason has advised Danny to take a step back from Charlotte while she is at boarding school.
- Danny has witnessed Jason put his own life in danger for Carly over the years.
- Danny’s instinct is to take risks and help Charlotte.
- Jason recognizes the example he has set for his son.
Jason’s Advice
Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) are best friends and truly care for each other. They also tend to get into trouble together. They encourage each other’s poor choices and usually end up hurting themselves or someone else.
Jason (Steve Burton) is doing his best to be there for Danny. He understands his son and gives good advice. Danny needs to be there for Charlotte, but sometimes the best thing he can do is to step back. Charlotte made a terrible decision, and her parents are sending her to boarding school. This will be hard for Danny, but Jason advised him that to be a good friend, he needs to let her go.
Jason’s Example
Jason knows that his advice is better than the example he has set for most of his son’s life. Danny has seen his dad take huge risks for years, and many have been for Carly (Laura Wright).
Danny is Jason’s son and has inherited his instincts. They both tend to protect those they love, which is wonderful, but can also be dangerous. Jason has put his life at risk for Carly many times. He does not regret it at all, but he doesn’t want his son doing the same thing. At the same time, he knows he will.
The old phrase of “do what I say, not what I do” applies here. Jason can give the right advice, but he knows that Danny has witnessed the complete opposite behavior from his father.
Danny would like to run to Charlotte’s boarding school and break her out, but knows that he shouldn’t. Will he follow Jason’s example or listen to his advice?
