More: How we know Jason will be back Peter’s Down, But is He Out?Įven though Jason’s “end” was a downer, there was still something to celebrate with Peter’s arrest. Lord help her when Carly finally gets a hold of her because we all know she’ll probably blame it on the britch. Plus, now Britt has to live with the guilt that Jason “died” helping her. So to tease us with their refound closeness and “kill” him off was just downright cruel to fans of the potential couple. And it was bad enough that Britt was already hurt when Jason dumped her for Carly. They had just begun getting cordial when Billy Miller exited the show. There was a lot that could have been explored going forward between them, which was one of the things I was looking forward to. It was great to hear Jason and Drew finally acknowledge each other as brothers. Then there is the reintroduction of Drew. Perhaps that could be an impetus for Sonny to really question his marriage to Carly. Now, however, Carly will be left to mourn Jason and deal with those feelings alone.
Just as Sonny has “Mike’s” unresolved feelings for Nina to deal with, Carly and Jason still could have been shown struggling to deal with theirs. Sure both Jason and Carly stated they wanted to go back to the way things were before they thought Sonny was dead, but that’s easier said than done. Jason’s changed relationship with Sonny and Carly is now left stuck dangling like a hanging chad. Jason however has plenty of connections and opens storylines. Not that Jax doesn’t have potential, but his character had been written into a dead end with most of the characters for the moment. Unlike Jax, who also exited this week, there was still a lot of potential for Jason’s character. I’m not going to focus on the issues behind Burton’s exit, but instead on how the timing of this just plain stinks. The news broke that Steve Burton was out as Jason, but clearly, the door has been left open for his return somewhere down the line given there was no body recovered. And even though it was a three-day week, I have a lot to say! Exit Stage Rightĭown in Greece, the tunnel collapse buried Jason under the rubble, and the WSB high-tech scanners could find no trace of him, alive or dead. However compared to last week, there was a little more excitement and it actually felt like I was watching November Sweeps episodes. Due to Thanksgiving, it was a shorter week on General Hospital.
