Adam Harrington- Jagger Cates returns to General Hospital
The 1990s feel like the golden ages of General Hospital. It’s when I started watching the iconic soap opera, and I remember “The Island” storyline like it happen a few years ago. Along with Sonny, Brenda, Jason, Robin, and Karen, Jagger Cates sticks out in my mind the most.
In fact, my mom, sister, and myself went down to Detroit for a “Jagger” fan event. That’s when we met Antonio Sabato Jr. At the time, my sister had a major crush on him. I was a little too young for all of that at the back then, but I basically watched with my mom because I thought it was cool.

Apparently Antonio Sabato Jr. was a very memorable character, which is why GH fans express their confusion regarding the recast. General Hospital news reports confirm that Jagger Cates has been recast. Sabato Jr. originated the role in 1992. He stayed until 1995. Then, Antonio reprised the role on GH’s spinoff, Night Shift.
Fast forward and today GH fans got a huge surprise. General Hospital comings and goings reports confirm that Jagger Cates has returned to GH. However, part of the shock factor is due to the fact that the role has been recast. Reportedly, Adam Harrington plays Jagger Cates as he popped up today in Port Charles.
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.

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.
