*🎤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.
