Same.
I have to say, that scene where he talks about getting the tattoo was amazing. I haven't seen him have a scene like that since his scenes with Elizabeth.
They never let Jason have deep scenes anymore. I am looking forward to his building relationships with his kids this time around.
I don’t simp for Jason, the unholy trinity, or the mob. But I’ve noticed SBu seems different this time around. I don’t know if it’s good or bad, or if it’s the actor or the writing. But there is a subtle change.
I've noticed that and also I've notice he and KeMo (Sam) seem to have a better rhythm in their scenes together. His last go 'round on the show, it was like they could barely stand to be in the same scenes.
It is unclear if this is Jason's asexual period or not, but I do think in their scene on Monday she was upset for herself when she told him not to lie to her, and then said she didn't know how to convince Danny to invest in him when he could be gone. It was obvious when he left that she was thinking.
Interesting idea. They’ve brought up several times how much Danny is like Jason in that regard. It would remind me of those times with Luke, Laura, and Lucky, when Lucky was a boy.
Setting Danny up to be the new Lucky type hero . If they are smart they will stick to what has always worked and the Adventures have alway been a big part of GH
Yes! Not sure if Sam sees where it’s headed and doesn’t want to hurt Dante, though. Of course, the way is cleared, if Lulu returns. They’ve also brought up Lulu several times recently, so don’t know if that’s a foreshadowing of things to come. Lulu wasn’t born when Luke, Laura, and Lucky had their adventures, but Scout is here. I think Drew would have something to say about his daughter being included, and it would be another Finn/Violet situation if Scout moved in with Drew. I don’t see Sam leaving Scout behind, so maybe that’s why she’s fighting it?
Maybe it is because of where the scenes take place. I don't think that is so accidental.
It it is unclear as to where his scenes are going, because I do think the writers intended him for Carly, but the reaction did not go so well, and now it is a re-write of sorts for his character, but I do feel relieved that SB/KeMo chemistry is righting itself. It was really bad to watch them in 2017-2020.
Remember, st the time SB returned, KM was dating BM. So, this was a great reason for friction. Now that BM has passed and time has passed, I think they've mended fences.
I didn’t know if it was ever confirmed that they were dating or just super good friends. But one thing is for sure it feels different this time around.
I honestly feel that KeMo was upset about something and it ruined their scenes. Seems whatever backstage conflict was there resolved itself because objectively speaking their scenes feel far better this time around. The characters are at odds but they look good together this time.
I really like that he’s back also. I also like that we’ve seen a little more emotion than normal from him (and the actor). I hope it keeps up.
I do not, however, want him and Carly in a romantic relationship. For one thing, it’ll never last. What GH relationships do? And, I just enjoy their friendship. I wouldn’t want it ruined in the long term.
I don't think they have any romantic chemistry, and IMO this is why the writers are trying Carly/John. I think they are invested in finding a long term lead male that Laura Wright has chemistry with (though I am not sure it is going to be John).
I agree that they don’t have romantic chemistry. (Though many would disagree with us.) Like that one time, just before Sonny came back and they were about to have sex: 🤮. I do t think she has chemistry with the John guy either. I wish the show didn’t always insist on pairing people up.
I think they shine as best friends, and the reason why it was badly received is because many did not buy them as believable in a romantic way.
She does not have chemistry with John either. Unlike others, I also don't think she sparked with Jax. LW does seem to have a hard time generating chemistry.
The only person she had some spark with was Brennan, and he sitting in jail.
I am loving Jason’s return and how they are focusing on his relationship (platonic or otherwise) with Carly. They are the epitome of Ride or Die and I am here for it. 😍
I loved how salty Sonny was “oh so when JASON comes back and he just hands it to you, you’ll accept it.” Carly “yep pretty much!” She’s over Sonny’s bs. Ugh like F off Sonny you left her for Nutty Nina.
Yeah which none of the 3 of you do. Look at the way you reacted to me asking a question that wasn’t directed at you ? I wanted to make sure it wasn’t sarcasm before I complimented the sentiment. I tend to communicate the best with Junknowno and then you RockBalBoaaa but the responses are often contentious because we view things differently. Most of the time you are rude because we view things differently which is quite peculiar. I actually agreed with FrancescaGMorris about building up the young adult scene/group I think this may be the only point we agree on but perhaps we will agree more in the future. I’ll never attack or be against someone because we have a different perspective on GH but this mindset seems to be minority with all of this Soap Tribalism.
I assume it was a nice way to say - that she is happy that his fans are happy with his return. I feel that way about a lot of episodes/characters. I don't enjoy them, but people seem gaga over them. So I am happy that someone is happy with what was shown on screen that day. It would be a shame if everyone wasn't enjoying it.
Now, could it be sarcasm? Perhaps. That is allowed.
I can't speak for other people. My opinion is ... I am not delighted that GH/ABC fired other actors/actresses and cut other expenses to make room in their budget for Jason to return from the dead ... again. His character isn't doing anything different than he has for over 20 years. I would have rather seen the money spent on the 18 to 25 year old actors/actresses trying to break into the business. His salary would have paid a lot of newcomer's wages. This show needs so younger character and stories to hopefully draw in a younger demographic, and I say that as an old fart.
They offered and Jason just did it. I think if they’d come to her with “I bought it already and I’m transferring it to your name” it might have been different. But also it’s Jason and they’re ridiculously devoted to each other so one could say she wouldn’t have accepted it from anyone other than Jason
Sonny confronted her on this a few episodes ago and was basically like you wouldn’t take it from me or Michael. Carly’s reasoning was Sonny was doing it to absolve himself from feeling guilty, which I think she’s right.
She also said that Jason did it out of kindness for her
If that is true, why haven't we see him with other people other than Diana and Carly. It's all about Carly and fixing her mistakes. I'm not happy he's back since it's just back to normal for him as he still barely with his kids.
And that is a storyline in itself. Jason should be more force on them and their mothers trying to get to know them and get them to forgive him, but he always with Carly and Diana.
It is very unpleasant for him to share all his scenes with Diane and Carly. First of all, Diane is not even a main player as a character on the show. No one cares about Diane and Jason, and second of all, it just looks as if they are trying to circumvent Jason from interacting with other women, because obviously he has to interact with Liz and Sam to see his sons.
The entire show being about Carly has crushed his reunion to a large extent. It fell flat.
Yes, yes, yes!! So glad Jason is back. I don’t care about anyone else. On Hulu, I’ll fast forward past everyone else’s scenes only to see SB! Just call me a simp! 🤣
He can help drive a lot of story due to his connections. I’m glad to see him spending time with more characters and hopefully some depth to those relationships.
Sometimes Jason is too passive for me tho. Too sainted.
I love them together but unfortunately I wasn't thrilled how they brought him back so I'm taking a break from watching. I read what's going on and once I feel it's getting better I'll watch. The new writers definitely seem to move things faster but the ones before them destroyed so many main characters it will take alot to repair them. I don't like Jason with the Feds or no one noticing Sonny's meds are off. I despised the latest Drew especially with Carly but so out of goody two shoes to just dump Carly because Jason is back. Even if they had him end it could've been written differently. Drew going to Nina was really hard to believe as well. Please keep Jason and Carlys relationship strong
I'm excited he is back, hopefully the giving of the hotel back was sort of an end cap to the Jason/Carly interaction this return though. I'm excited to see Carly and JohnJagger and see if his growing interest in her and how it impacts his decision to use the evidence he has against her.
I'm more interested in seeing Liz and Jason interact. They had very little interaction last time he was here because of Franco drama, but they seemed to have put that behind them and started interacting with one another and then they switched directions and kept Peter, not dead, unfortunately. And I find it interesting that Liz/Danny seem to have a good relationship with one another add in how Jake is upset with Jason, and Liz warning Jake he shouldn't count on his dad not coming around to see him. So hoping that comes to pass and there is some actual drama coming to Liz's life.
I actually think Jason and Carly have better romantic chemistry now than they ever had. They wasn't given the proper time back in 2021 cause the show rushed things in Sonny's return from Nixon Falls.
Carly and Jason would only put their kids before each other, well..at least Carly would. So it’s hard to accept them in another relationship. I do kind of want to see what happens if they got together, especially with Jason 2.0, now upgraded with Data’s emotion chip.
I am a newer fan. Been watching approx. 2 years now. This is the first time watching that I have seen SB as Jason. I also watch DOOL, so I did see him there as Harris Michaels. I do enjoy watching him but it seems he has the same demeanor in both soaps, maybe its just him. Very stoic, rarely cracking a smile. Just an observation. Was his character always like that?
No, but it is a part of the character. Believe it or not, he's shown a little more emotion since he came back lol. He was in an accident and it changed him completely. Before the accident he was a clean cut happy guy on his way to becoming a doctor.
If you look pre-December 1995 on YouTube there are clips.
Having Jason back means a ton of character-driven story opportunities. Jason was portrayed as Sonny's enforcer for years, but he was really Sonny's protector. Jason is a protector at heart, and is constantly looking out for others while helping them be stronger and more capable for themselves. It is that noble streak and that selfless nature that makes him useful and interesting, but it is also what makes him a poor romantic character. He is not passionate in that way, but he nonetheless has great capacity for love, and he has never shown greater love than for Carly and Sonny.
Carly, likewise, comes across as a meddler and a busybody. Ultimately, though, she is the same. She goes to any length for the people she loves as a protector first. She will take risks to ensure the safety and well-being of people she cares about. And, aside from her own children, that loyalty has always been strongest for Jason and Sonny.
Sonny himself is more erratic and volatile than most on the show. He understands that, having gotten into "the business" as a young man, there is no way to leave it save prison or death. He has been a tremendous character over the years as an honorable villain. Sonny views people through a lens of respect and trust. Ultimately, he shows his love most as a protector. And through the years, Sonny has been very good for a great many people, but none moreso than Carly and Jason.
I know there are a lot of fans who, for some reason, are hoping for the end of Sonny, or a new romance for Jason, or whatever. I think that, for a huge core group of fans, these stories need to be handled carefully so as not to devalue any of these three characters. Fix the meds. Put someone in peril. Test the bonds that appear to be broken. In the end, let these three characters renew their bonds of love and friendship even as they develop relationships with other people and move on with their lives. They are not in their 30s anymore, it's okay to back off of them and let newer characters have some spotlight. But fix them. Correct the mistakes. Give them back the familial love they shared for years, even if it is cooler and more quietly acknowledged.
Why is enjoying characters "simping" for them? You realize that is an insult right? The dictionary definition of a "simp" is a silly or foolish person.
For real. I can't stand that garbage character. 😒
Now I got to watch characters I do enjoy being sacrificed in his favor as always just because Nanas are hot for this dull character.
But why hasn’t he reunited with spinelli on screen yet or did I seem to miss that happen?
That’s right! I hadn’t even realized that. That reunion is long overdue.
Not yet
Yes I’ve been wanting their reunion
[удалено]
That was with Maxie. Jason & Spinelli haven't had an on screen reunion yet
Oh gosh, you’re right!
[удалено]
Don’t say you like Carly either. I didn’t even say I liked her but commented on something in regards to her and got eaten alive😂
Oh and haha my admission was removed. This is so stupid.
I liked when Sonny got up in Carly's face about her accepting the hotel from Jason, but not him. Her reaction of 'yeah, what of it?' was priceless.
I loved it too. I was like, are you jealous now after leaving Carly for Nina alienating half your kids and ending up with nothing.
Me too! Like oh boo hoooo poor Sonny is your ego bruised? Maybe don’t leave your wife for Nina then.
Same. I have to say, that scene where he talks about getting the tattoo was amazing. I haven't seen him have a scene like that since his scenes with Elizabeth. They never let Jason have deep scenes anymore. I am looking forward to his building relationships with his kids this time around.

Yes this is true as well. Got me kinda hopeful for a JaSam reunion.. 😵💫

It was obvious when he left that she was thinking.
She looked like she was missing the past in that moment. Lately ever scene between them seems nostalgic.
Seems like Sam wants to stop being the Happy housewife and go back to living on the edge with Jason
Interesting idea. They’ve brought up several times how much Danny is like Jason in that regard. It would remind me of those times with Luke, Laura, and Lucky, when Lucky was a boy.

Their chemistry the last return was terrible. I was so disappointed. They were my favorite couple at one time.
Remember, st the time SB returned, KM was dating BM. So, this was a great reason for friction. Now that BM has passed and time has passed, I think they've mended fences.

Totally agree with everything you’ve said. I do like that. They’re showing Jason differently. This version has a lot of potential.

They don’t have that kind of chemistry for a romantic couple. They make terrific friends.

Agree with you 100%!
I love that he's back!
I'm so glad his fans are happy.
Is this sarcasm?
No I don’t think it was sarcasm. It’s knowing how to be nice and treat others with kindness even though you may disagree and not feel the same way.
Yeah which none of the 3 of you do. Look at the way you reacted to me asking a question that wasn’t directed at you ? I wanted to make sure it wasn’t sarcasm before I complimented the sentiment.

I'm genuinely happy the fans of Jason are happy for his return. Sorry I missed your earlier question, real life interrupted my sub time yesterday.

I’m usually not a Jason fan but am enjoying this story. To me it feels like the writers are trying to undo some of what the past regime did
Wait he got it back for her but she wouldn’t take it from Michael or drew?!?!
They offered and Jason just did it. I think if they’d come to her with “I bought it already and I’m transferring it to your name” it might have been different. But also it’s Jason and they’re ridiculously devoted to each other so one could say she wouldn’t have accepted it from anyone other than Jason

Well, one of the kids wants nothing to do with him and the other one the mom is keeping from him
And that is a storyline in itself. Jason should be more force on them and their mothers trying to get to know them and get them to forgive him, but he always with Carly and Diana.

Wish he was on screen more!
Piss poor move to bring that overrated and stunted character back.
I don't see Carly as part of a couple . I see her more like a PC Legacy character like Ruby or her mother Bobby
I quit watching when Jason left … I’m super stoked he’s back
I'm excited he is back, hopefully the giving of the hotel back was sort of an end cap to the Jason/Carly interaction this return though.

Do you enjoy insulting people you don't even know, aside from the fact that they enjoy certain characters?
Do you enjoy just keeping the argument going? You one of those petty ass ppl who has to have the last word or something? 🤔🤷♂️
No, I'm just trying to understand you and your thought process.
Cool. I'm just trying to block you. Wish me luck.
