General Hospital Spoilers: Jagger Reveals Dex’s Parents
It was one day back in 2022 when Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) decided to leave everything behind and come to Port Charles. He risked it all to carry out a convert mission. And once he and Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) sealed the deal, Dex Heller was to gather incriminating information against PC mob boss, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).
According to General Hospital recaps, Dex became Michael’s informant and Sonny’s employee and friend. Unbeknownst to Sonny, the developing bond with his newest right-hand man was built on a lie. Furthermore, his own son set the whole thing in motion. GH spoilers tease that the emotional complexity and true nature of these relationships tell of a long history. Apparently, Dex’s roots run deep in Port Charles.
Jason Morgan and Karen Wexler
GH comings and goings bring Jason Morgan back to the canvas. Along with Steve Burton’s return to GH comes with much speculation about Jason. The way things have been going, it’s looking more and more like Jason Morgan very well could be Dex Heller’s father. While many GH fans are intrigued by the possibility, the aspiring mobster’s mother is also in question. If Jason Morgan is Dex’s father, then who his mom?
Jagger Reveals Dex’s Parents
Looking back at Jason’s relationships, Karen Wexler’s name comes screaming at my mind. She was always torn between Jagger and Jason. And GH history recalls that Karen chose Jagger in the end. But wild GH rumors claim that their love triangle brought about a permanent reminder. Was Karen pregnant with Jason’s baby when she married Jagger? According to the latest GH rumors, Karen and Jagger gave her and Jason’s baby up for adoption.
The connections all make sense. Jagger is back and Jason is set to return in just a few short weeks. Sonny shipped Dex out of town, but Jagger just might tell Sonny (or Jason) exactly who Dex is. So do you think that Karen and Jason could be Dex’s parents?
Last week’s General Hospital brought the shock factor to its audience on many different levels. Obviously Spencer and Esme made us gasp, Avery Pohl’s unexpected exit, Nikolas and Ace’s return to Laura, and more contributed to the ultimately shocking storylines.
General Hospital recaps highlight Spencer and Trina’s life or death situation. Their families came together to help rescue them from Esme Prince. While it looks like Esme and Spencer are swimming with the fishies, GH news reports confirm that Nicholas Alexander Chavez will return as Spencer, but Avery Pohl’s exit is indefinite. Now Trina is traumatized after the event and losing Spencer. To be honest, I’m traumatized too lol. I want Esme back! It still boggles my mind that GH took this direction. But that’s for another post at another time.
Anna’s Taken Aback By Jagger
Meanwhile, Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) and Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) engage in their own life threatening drama. The two find themselves in an FBI ambush as they try to crack a case of their own. That’s when Jagger showed up. General Hospital spoilers reveal that a blast from the past has come back. Those who watched GH in the early 90s know exactly who Jagger Cates is. However, anyone would be confused and shocked by this because todays Jagger isn’t the man who made the role an iconic piece of American culture and Soap Opera history.
According to GH news reports, Jagger was recast with actor Adam Harrington. While Antonio Sabàto Jr. helped create the role over 30 years ago, it’s been reported that Sabato Jr. was not asked to reprise the ever-popular the role. Now, the actor has come out to speak on the subject.
In a now-deleted Instagram video, Sabato Jr. addressed a statement about Jagger’s recent recasting. “I’m being bombarded with a lot of questions about this General Hospital thing. You need to know the truth from me and you need to know the only truth about what’s going on.”
Antonio Sabato Jr. Address Jagger Recast
There’s no denying that Antonio Sabato Jr.’s role as Jagger Cates took the GH fandom by storm in the early 1990s. Certainly, his face became recognizable across the world as General Hospital fans tuned in to see what’s next. Antonio addressed the early starved of the character, and Jagger’s worldly popularity. “At the beginning of my career, I started on a character that I truly, truly adore, that I created with Wendy Riche, the executive producer, and an amazing team of writers at General Hospital back in 1992. I was on General Hospital from 92 to 94, playing a character by the name of John “Jagger” Cates.
Jagger Cates Popularity
I’ve been asked by the fans by millions all over the world, not just in America and in North America, but all over the world, about coming back to General Hospital for 30 years. Now, like I said, I’m doing very well. I’m not begging to go back on the show. This is not about that. I have many careers. I’m still acting very well. I have a movie coming out. I have a lot of things coming out and I’m very proud of.”
Reflecting on his popularity as Jagger, and the irony that he was never asked to return, Sabato stated, “I’ve never been asked to come back on General Hospital for 30 years. The producers at General Hospital, ABC, and Disney, they know where to find me. They know where I am. The fans always ask me every single day, ‘Are you going back to General Hospital?”
Adam Harrington Steps In as Jagger Recast
Fast forward to this week. It’s 2024 and has been 30 years since Sabato Jr. played the iconic Jagger Cates. Suddenly, the news hit fans and Antonio like a brick. He was bombarded with questions from fans, asking about the recent GH casting. That’s when Antonio commented on Jagger’s revival, and the fact that he wasn’t asked to step back into the role. Instead, GH hired Adam Harrington to take over as the memorable Cates.
“They don’t even call him ‘Jagger’. They call him ‘John’ because they know that the character’s only been played by me ’cause it’s part of who I am. It’s my life. It’s a character that is really a big part of, of my soul that I dedicated my life. And that’s what it turned out to be. I gave everything I have to that character and I would still do. So, the truth and the fact of the matter is people say, well, ‘you ruin your career because you voted for this or political or this and that.’ I shouldn’t be hired on my political views. I should be hired on my merit, on my acting abilities because you know, that works.”
“So this is on them hiring a new person, which is fine. They could do whatever they want. But hey, but for all the fans around the world to speculate or to say, you know, I ruined my career and all this stuff, mo, that’s not it. So now you know the truth. I’m gonna leave this out there for you to see.”
According to GH News and spoilers, Antonio’s message was addressed in a now-deleted IG video. Please be sure to check back with us at GH Blog for the latest developments.
Earlier this month General Hospital celebrate its 60th anniversary with prime time special. The tribute to TV’s longest running drama captivated the iconic show’s viewers. With its historic longevity and indelible storylines, General Hospital has become a huge piece of our culture.
Storylines and juicy plots can only get a production so far, but the delivery could make or break the story’s success. Typically, that’s where the actors make their magic. There’s no doubt that General Hospital has had its abundant share of phenomenal actors and roles over the years. But it seems like not many can cause quite the stir that Steve Burton can.
According to General Hospital spoilers, Steve Burton is set to return, and Jason shocks his loved ones with another return from the dead. But will he be the same Jason Morgan that everyone loves? Yes and no. Some GH rumors claim that Jason Morgan returns as his original identity… Jason Quartermaine. Other GH rumors claims that he arrives in Poet Charles someone completely new. However, much supporting evidence points toward what we all know as Sonny’s right hand man, Jason Morgan.
Steve Burton’s Return Twist! GH Poll: Steve Burton Returns To General Hospital As…
General Hospital Spoilers: BREAKING! Steve Burton returns to General Hospital as Jason Morgan
Confirmed! Big things lie ahead for the people of Port Charles. ABC’s 60 years of General Hospital brings drama, entertainment, fun, and family into our homes. Here’s to 60 more and beyond.
General Hospital news reports confirm Thursday night’s special television event showcased many memorable moments. From extreme spy adventures to soap opera style weddings, to love and loss, Port Charles has it all. Additionally, General Hospital and Port Charles has been home of the most iconic daytime television characters and their actor counterparts for 6 decades. Over the years, actors and roles comes and go but few are absolutely irreplaceable. Although the role of Jason Morgan was once recast, it was quickly learned that having anyone play Jason was not going to work as they’d hoped. Instead, Burton’s recast, the late Billy Miller, was written as Drew Cain. This left room for Steve Burton to return.
Steve Burton Returns to General Hospital as Jason Morgan
General Hospital news and spoilers reports that with Laura Wright and Kelly Monaco’s help, co-star and friend to these ladies, Steve Burton surprised fans with an announcement. GH recaps of the January 4th GH special event reveal that Steve Burton appeared at the end of the special. GH fans at home were in pleasant shock when Steve Burton announced that big things are coming to Port Charles. Reportedly, Steve confirmed that he’s filmed his last scenes over at Days Of Our Lives, hanging up the Harris Michaels role in Salem.
Maybe it’s just me but I find that nostalgia has a way of bringing communities together. Like, when you and a life long friend begin to reminisce about the days of old, and reflect on the good times. In doing so we tend to remember certain people and events that bring a sense of comfort to mind.
For me, the same goes for television and music. Almost all of today’s top 40 pop songs contain music samples from the past. So when you hear this fresh sound with a familiar twist, you kinda feel right at home. Well, that’s how it is for me when my faves from the past return.
I started watching General Hospital in the 1990s like many of you. And I can honestly say that this era seems to have left the most permanent mark on GH fans. That said, do you remember the popular character, Karen Wexler, played by Cari Sheen? She was right there in the middle of heated storylines involving strip clubs, drugs, and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).
General Hospital 1992 The Island
It was the age of “The Island,” when Karen, Jason Quartermaine (Steve Burton), and Jagger Cates (Antonio Sabato Jr.) got stranded on an island. Moreover, it was the first jig storyline my pre-teen self really got into. And for that I will always remember and be grateful I beg and watching GH when I did.
Maurice Benard Reveals Upcoming Guest
At a recent fan event in Royal Oak Michigan, Maurice Benard discussed GH, mental illness, and everything in between. A hot topic was definitely his YouTube channel, State of Mind. He uses the platform to interview past and present co-stars, and anyone who wants to share their story.
We love seeing photos inside the every day lives of our favorite General Hospital stars. Many of these faces we have grow to love from a very you g age as their grew up before our eyes.
Currently, many of the GH actors we know and love have been with the soap opera since Rotherham childhood or adolescence. It’s not uncommon for an actor to remain on the show for decades.
Can you tell who this is from the photo above?! If not, don’t fret because we have the General Hospital spoiler below!
General Hospital news and spoilers reveal Steve Burton has shared a photo from his younger years on his personal Instagram page. “A young Steve,” as a portion of his caption reads.
Steve joined the cast of General Hospital well after this photo was taken, but still at the young age of 20 years old. He’s been with the daytime drama for 3 decades and just recently turned 50! In his early years at GH, we all knew him as Jason Quartermaine- Golden Boy. And now, he’s Jason Morgan Aka Stone Cold, through and through!
Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) was the victim of a hit on him that was put out by Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober).
General Hospital spoilers reveal Renault’s mission is incomplete as Jason Morgan is alive and wakes up and is talking, but is confused. In the GH preview for what’s next, Jason is seen asking why he is here in the hospital.
Things are much different now that Sam has signed Danny and Scout’s proxy rights over to Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) in exchange for her freedom to be with Jason. Will she tell Jason how she is able to stay with him? Will Jason even remember Sam?
Jason Morgan has suffered head trauma and has just woken up after surgery. It’s anyone’s guess if Jason will wake with old memories as his life as Jason Quartermaine, or if he will stay true to the Jason Morgan personal. GH rumors hint that Jason Morgan is here to stay and ready to endure the danger and drama Cyrus Renault is about to unleash.
Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) was victim of a mob hit by Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober), in an attempt to get closer to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Renault wants to take over Sonny’s territory in Port Charles, run General Hospital, and make the PCPD corrupt.
Jason has now been rushed to the hospital as he remains unconscious while the doctors run tests. It’s likely Jason has suffered brain injuries as a result of the crash and there is a possibility of becoming brain dead. In the past, Jason has suffered multiple head traumas following the initial car accident he was involved in with his brother AJ Quartermaine (Sean Kanan). Back then, Jason Quartermaine lost all recollection of his identity and became Jason Morgan. Sonny took him in and he then built a new life. A life many cannot see him leaving behind. That leaves the ultimate question… When Jason wakes up from a coma, which identity will he assume? Will he have the desire to follow in his father Alan’s (Stuart Damon) footsteps and become a doctor at GH? Or will Jason say true to his Morgan name and remain loyal to Sonny, Carly (Laura Wright), and Sam (Kelly Monaco)?
Jordan Ashford (Briana Nicole Henry) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) has a private conversation at the courthouse about how Jason came to work for Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Jordan mentioned that she did her research on Jason, knowing all about his car accident with his brother, AJ Quartermaine (Sean Kanan), and how when he woke up from the crash he had no memories of his past life. Thus resulting in the identity change from Quartermaine to Morgan, and thriving under Sonny’s wing.
All new General Hospital spoilers for Friday have revealed that Jason Morgan has been involved in a motorcycle crash causing serious injuries. He is found unconscious on the pavement just after he told Sam McCall (Lindsay Hartley, Kelly Monaco), that he chose Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) as his next of kin.
After Jason and Jordan’s conversation, Genera Hospital rumors started swirling, making claims that Carly May have to make an important decision, and that Jason Morgan just might wake up as the old Jason Quartermaine.
With everything that is going on with Jason and Sam, the danger of his work, and how his family’s company is about to be taken right from under their noses by Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), this could very well be the perfect time for Jason to wake up as his old self again.
If Jason leaves his identity as Morgan behind, Will Sam embrace a softer Jason and will Sonny and Carly be able to handle the change in the Jason they have known and loved?
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.
