When it comes to Michael’s well-being or breaking Monica’s heart, Jason made it clear who he’d choose on the January 15, 2025 episode of General Hospital.
The Cards They’re Dealt
With Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) holding all the cards by staking her claim as Michael’s (Chad Duell, who recently revealed his thoughts on his character’s exit story) health proxy — thanks to Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) suggestion — unless she gets her kids back, Carly (Laura Wright) and Sonny (Maurice Benard) had no choice but to give her what she wants. Tracy (Jane Elliot), however, only cares about one person involved: Monica (the late Leslie Charleson, who passed away earlier this week).
After Tracy refused to let Willow take the kids, saying it would break an already frail Monica’s heart if they no longer lived there, Willow saw to it that Carly and Jason (Steve Burton) were barred from Michael’s hospital room.
Mother vs. Son
When Jason arrived at the Quartermaine Mansion, he found Sonny already trying to talk some sense into Tracy. And he immediately backed his best friend. But the more Tracy talked, the more unsure Jason became.
Tracy reminded Jason of the ways he already disappointed his late father and grandmother. Letting the kids go would be yet another way he let them down, and Tracy knew exactly how to get to the usually stonecold Jason. “Please don’t break your mother’s heart, too.”
Monica has always been the one way to break Jason. Last year, when he was almost sent to Pentonville, a letter from his mother assuring him she loves him had both the character and his portrayer in tears. Now, Jason was left with the toughest choice he’s ever had to make: Monica or Michael?
Jason ultimately apologized to Sonny, saying he couldn’t hurt the woman who raised him despite how much the man he raised as a baby needed them all by his side.
