In the July 13 episode of General Hospital, which marked the 16,000th episode of the ABC soap, Jason came home. Danny got his wish, but the drama has only just begun for the father-son duo.
Key Takeaways
- Danny is filled with anger, and it’s directed at Rocco.
- Bad things happened to Jason during his time away.
- The reunion doesn’t equal a happy ending for Jason or his son.
We Aren’t Brothers Anymore
Ever since Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) learned that Rocco (Finn Carr) shot Cullum (Andrew Hawkes), not Jason (Steve Burton), he has been filled with rage. Danny proved that again during his run-in with Rocco at the Metro Court pool.
The once-siblings didn’t hold back as they fought over what had happened. Danny doesn’t see Rocco as a brother anymore, and Rocco has started to see Danny the same way.
Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) has consistently chosen Danny’s side, and that hasn’t helped the situation either. Jason being back lwon’t help either, especially once Danny realizes that his father isn’t the same as when he left.
Welcome Back to Port Charles Jason Morgan
It’s poetic that Jason and Burton returned to the ABC soap during the 16,000th episode. The second Jason was shown on the plane, it was easy to see that something was really wrong with him.
Jason had a somber, almost broken look about him as he flashed back to awful memories of his time away. The cuts and bruises on Jason only added to his demeanor.
Back in Port Charles, Jason headed to the Quartermaine estate and the boathouse. Then Danny arrived and ran into his father’s arms. It was a moment they both needed, but it didn’t fix all of their problems.
Where Do They Go From Here
Not only are Danny and Jason different people than they were before the latter left, but they are also about to have issues with each other. Jason covered for Rocco, which especially means he chose Rocco over his son, and that must be addressed.
Danny telling Jack (Chris McKenna) about Rocco won’t sit well with Jason, whose motto is take to the grave for those you love. Jason will no doubt have some words for his son and his anger toward Rocco.
There’s also the fact that both of them went through a lot while they were apart. Danny got in serious trouble more than once. As for Jason, fans have no idea what happened during his time away. Based on what has been shown so far, it’s not good.
GH summer preview revealed that Jason returns as a different man, which will impact his relationship with Danny. The reunion is good for Danny and Jason, but it does open a whole new can of worms for both of them.
