General Hospital Recaps: Remember When? Island Edition

General Hospital Recaps: Remember When The Island Jagger Cates
General Hospital Recaps: Remember When The Island Jagger Cates

Over the years, General Hospital has made history time and time again with its iconic storylines. Sadly, those creative and legendary stories won’t told for a while as we navigate through Covid-19. Although this won’t be forever, it is still difficult for the cast, crew, and fans alike to wrap our heads around the reality of it all. While we sit and wait for our world as we know it to go back to normal, we can reflect on the fond memories from our favorite Daytime Drama.

As fashion trends and TV show reboots from the 1990s have begun to resurface, one very memorable General Hospital storyline from the 1990s comes to mind. In the early 1990s I got sucked in and swept away. I started watching GH with my mom and sister and the story that was front and center revolved around Jason Quartermaine. Now, he goes by Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). Jason, Jagger Cates (Antonio Sabato Jr.), and Karen Wexler (Cari Shayne) were stranded on an island and I was hooked!

Romance, drama, and adventure followed these three wherever they went, even on a deserted island! After being shipwrecked, they were stranded on a deserted island, making things very awkward for everyone involved since Jagger and Karen were a couple, Jason was annoyed, and the two men weren’t too keen on each other. This love triangle was secondary to that of Jagger, Karen, and Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil), but developed as Jason Quartermaine was basically a third wheel when he, Jagger, and Karen were stuck on a deserted island.

General Hospital Recaps: Remember When The Island Jagger

Tension was always thick between Jason and Jagger. Of course, it was all over a girl. Karen Wexler was the girl they both had their eye on. So, in one climatic scene, Jagger walked up as Jason embraced Karen from behind. Naturally, Jagger was angry and jealous, but it wasn’t what it looked liked. Instead, Jason was comforting Karen after the attempted rape. Like always, Jason Morgan has been a savior to women. He is a natural protector, quick thinker, and a fighter for what’s right. Jason Quartermaine never lost that part of himself, even after the car accident with his brother AJ (Sean Kanan), leading him to change his name from Quartermaine to another family name, Morgan.

At some point, Jason and Jagger had to put their pride and differences aside. This was necessary in order to work together to survive. Jagger was the muscle, while Jason was both the brains of the operation. Additionally, it’s apparent that both Jason and Jagger are strong and resourceful. Karen was resourceful in her own right, but definitely played the role of damsel in distress very well.

General Hospital Spoilers: Cyrus Has Partners Over Seas, Is Someone Trying To Avenge The Balkan? Is Dev Aware?

The mob situation is becoming intense in Port Charles as Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) go head to head with mobster, Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober).

Sonny paid Cyrus a visit in Pentonville, they both went back and forth warning one another about the next move. Sonny intercepted a huge shipment that belong to Cyrus. Cyrus asked Sonny what his plan was for the shipment, Sonny warned him not to worry about it. Then, Jason Morgan blew up the entire shipment. If Cyrus wasn’t already out for blood, he most definitely is now. Cyrus warned Sonny to quit while he was ahead, and mentioned his partners over seas.

This brings us back to a few months ago when General Hospital spoilers indicated Jason’s instincts were right regarding Dev Cerci (Ashton Arbab). General Hospital spoilers previously tied Dev to The Balkan/Theo Offman (Daniel Benzali). Since the writers put Dev’s Turkish decent up front and center quite a few times, it seems as though it was a hint toward what’s ahead. General Hospital rumors started, making claims that Dev is actually the grandson of The Balkan, and is in Port Charles to get revenge on Sonny and his family. Sonny’s son Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) was the one who killed Dev’s alleged father, Aleksander Janacek (Antonie Knoppers). Dev’s mother is rumored to be the one and only, Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil). Jason tried to make Sonny more cautious with Dev and Sonny assured Jason everything was fine. Jason’s instincts are usually on point. If so, there would end p being an ulterior motive for Dev to be in Port Charles. The question is, is Dev aware of the situation regarding The Balkan and his own Father and their connection to the Corinthos family?

Marcus Taggert (Real Andrews) warned Mac Scorpio (John York) to be careful as something doesn’t feel right regarding this mob war involving Sonny and Cyrus. Taggert has a hunch that it’s bigger than it appears. Someone is pulling the strings on Cyrus, and it looks as though they’re from over seas.

Today’s episode of General Hospital was literally explosive after Sonny and Jason’s savage move against Cyrus. General Hospital spoilers warn this is just the beginning for the Corinthos Organization and it’s enemies.

Recently, Vanessa spoke with Soaps in Depth regarding the possible return of her character, Brenda. General Hospital spoilers reveal that the actress has been talking to sources at SID about a possible return to GH. Marcil said, “There’s always conversations. I’m a big fan of surprises, there won’t be an announcement before you see me on air. Like how they brought me back during the 2013 Nurses Ball, I was on set before people found out.”

Vanessa may be returning to the canvas, but it is uncertain whether she would be a long term player. She is currently working on other projects, including opening a restaurant.

No confirmations of her return have been made, and Executive Producer, Frank Valentini has not commented on either side of this news.
