Monica Regrets Sending Jason In Her Place

Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) returned to Port Charles in March after having been presumed dead. His family suffered their loss and grieved for him yet another time. Some relationships have even been strained because of it. Sonny is outraged and Sam wasn’t sold at first. But despite all of the heartache, Jason and his mother remain close. There’s no doubt that Monica adores Jason, and he respects and loves his mama.

According to GH recaps, Jason and Sam’s (Kelly Monaco) son Danny (Ashtyn Antonyzyn) relayed a message to Jason. He said that grandma Monica (Leslie Charleson) wasn’t well enough to make it to Chase and Brooklyn’s wedding. Additionally, Monica requested that Jason attends the wedding in her place. So it is respect for Monica, Jason agreed to represent his mother at the wedding.

Meanwhile, Detective Chase (Josh Swickard) and Brooklyn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) prepare for the biggest day of their lives. Close friends and family gather together to support the couple as they say I Do. There isn’t a soul in Port Charles who would object to this union, which ensure that no one will have to speak now or forever hold their peace. However, General Hospital spoilers and rumors indicate an even more perilous interruption.

Monica Regrets Sending Jason In Her Place

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Jason becomes victim to Sonny’s bullet while trying to save Dex. Previously, GH Blog shared the latest GH rumors and spoilers for this week. Apparently, Sonny shoots Dex and Jason takes a bullet for his son. Other GH rumors suggest that Danny is shot with a bullet that was intended for Dex. No matter how you slice it, the loves of Monica’s son, grandson, and possibly a second grandson are at risk.

It’s looking more and more like the GH rumors about Jason and Dex are true. Did Sonny shoot Jason’s son? And will Jason die a hero for saving Dex? GH rumors hint that Danny could be the one who Sonny shoots- inadvertently of course.

Sadly, Monica’s health keeps her away from BLQ’s big day. She knew she could count on Jason to take her place, but what will it cost? Jason’s life is at risk and possibly her grandson’s too!

*🎤Sings * “One of these things is not like the other.” When I think of General Hospital’s iconic Quartermaine family certain traits and characteristics come flooding to mind. Aside from a strong family unit, the Qs give “corporate” vibes.

Over the years, Edward and Lila, and Alan and Monica created an image and reputation that lives on today. Cutthroat, conniving, cheating and backstabbing, are just a few of the recognizable Quartermaine traits and characteristics. Similarly, these traits and characteristics hold true as a family and how they run the family business.

Despite having been raised as a Quartermaine, it’s hard to imagine Jason Morgan’s place in the family today. According to GH history, Jason Quartermaine fit prior to his and AJ’s life altering car accident. The former aspiring doctor was as professional and business oriented as a Q can get before his and his family’s life face a drastic change.

Still, Jason is and always will be a Quartermaine. Although Jason strayed away from the family to work for Sonny, he and his mom, Monica Quartermaine’s bond was never broken. Sure, things weee rocky for a while. But Jason always kept Monica close to his heart.

At the time of learning of her co-star’s passing, Charles stated, “This is the 30th anniversary for the two of us, in August. The timing leaves me very discouraged about the way soaps are going, the total disregard for history and the blatant disregard for the veterans.” When Damon was fired in 2007 by Jill Farren Phelps, at the order of Brian Frons and Anne Sweeney, Charleson, among many other leading co-stars, spoke out against the decision to just throw away a veteran character.
