Don’t Give Up on General Hospital’s Jason Morgan!
By Luke Kerr on May 22, 2012
Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) has been a royal prick to Sam (Kelly Monaco) over the paternity of her baby. However, there may be hope for the couple this week on General Hospital. Watch the promo after the jump!

Sorry don't think Jason is bring a prick. He is being honest about how he feels. Isn't Sam the one who didn't want this baby if it wasn't Jasons?
when it was Franco's she was willing to abort it. Yah, spare me. Sam ain't no victim or innocent in all this. Over them trying to whitewash Sam. LOL the promo with the white gown.

Why do I not care about this ?
Too many more interesting stories going on right now. One request GH writers from this fan - keep Elizabeth out of this Jasam story please!

I'm disgusted with Jason treatment of Sam. Sam was raped. Something Jason seem to have forgotten while he is hating on an innocent child. Sam do not deserve this from Jason after everything she has gone through. I don't give a crap about the Jasam/Liason drama. Sam's rape should be the bigger story. I hope the baby is Jason in the end.

Um, technically Sam is the victim in all of this. Just sayin.
I still don't think Jason is wrong for being honest. He's Jason.
I still can't stand JaScam, and that will never change. But to imply that a woman who got pregnant as the result of rape, isn't a victim, well, Yeah, ok.

WoW another Jason/Sam promo...say it ain't so... how many does this make now?
I'm sick of this storyline period. I know in the end these two will be highly pimped in writing this so-called angst is just to reflect how in the end they stood tall & come out stronger...same ole' shit they won't break these two up...
Its in the GH bylaws

I agree Star. Sam is a rape victim, and Jason is being a prick about the baby. Jason being honest is nothing but BS..
Sam do not need whitewashing. Most of the characters on GH have done something horrible. I care about Sam with or without Jason.
The story sucks btw..

Jason is a douche and needs to be by himself or with Sonny, I don't want him paired romantically with Sam or Liz at this point at all. Let Sam raise her baby, and pair her with McBain, and bring on someone new for Liz, I don't like Ewen so I'm not shipping that pairing at all, maybe they should considering bringing Greg V back.

Jason Morgan is why GH is unwatchable. While the rest of the characters seem to finally be developing personalities and intelllect, we still have robo-killer playing the part of a one dimensional love interest. No respectable woman would fall for him. Liz is not that woman, neither is Sam. Jason is as unbelievable as they come on television. Either rewrite this character or let him go! He sucks!...not the actor, the character sucks. There was a time Steve Burtons Jason was watchable. I dont care about -anything- Jason. I turn it off, or fast forward through him.

Jason's latest brain fart has changed the man, and I think he's being honest in whether or not he can raise Sam's baby. In the past, we all saw Jason running around playing "Daddy" to every kid in town, except for his own son. And please, do not bring up the old "danger" BS that was pushed as an agenda to keep Jason from being with Liz, Cam and Jake. I've noticed the word "danger" has not been issued by the IIC since late 2008 when Liason broke up at the courthouse.

So not interested in this story at all. Maybe it's because Sam went through the kidnapping, the being held at gunpoint, the rape. She's the one who has been carrying a child and the stress of it all and the health issues that go along with it. SHe is the one who has been alone and lost in this ordeal.
NOT JASON.
Yet, from the beginning when the new regime took over and scripted the story to reveal that Franco was the father instead of giving Jason. Jason being the father to the child could have changed his WHOLE way of thinking AND also scripted it in that it was SAM'S ORDEAL and not Jason's. SHe was raped and we could have seen how a woman deals with that and the support that comes from family and loved ones.
No. We got Jason brooding over the fact that the man he shot DEAD at POINT BLANK RANGE was actually his brother and how this evil man was now the father of the child in his wife's womb. OH MY GOD, that is heartbreaking.
DUD of a story.

I think that the major failure in this story is that it is not all about the rape. The rape itself was toned down after Jason was found to be the father, and now that Franco is the father, the concern is the impact on Jason. I do think that is a failure in the storyline.
However, outside of the storyline focus, I don't think that Jason is being a douche. He is being honest about his hesitation, and while Sam was physically violated, Jason was a mental/emotional victim as well. Jason is the one that was forced to watch while his unconscious wife was violated. Jason is the one that had to tell her that she was raped in the first place.
They both have pain to deal with, I just wish the focus was better.

JLJ I just wanted to thank you for your post. Some of the comments from those that hate sam have really lost site of the fact that she is in fact a rape victim and hating a character doesnt mean that you cant respect that what happened to her was a tragedy. I appreciate you making the distinction and saying that while you hate the character you recognize what shes going through.

JaSam sucks. The couple is terribly forced and brings out the worst in the characters and actors. A blind man could see that Sam has no chemistry with Jason but TONS of chemistry with McBain while Jason has TONS of chemistry/history with Liz! GH misses the boat on actual couples and somehow writes against chemistry versus toward it.

Y'all know how I have felt about Sam over the years (though it has definitely softened), but Jason has definitely been a tool to her. She was raped because of one of HIS enemies, now he's punishing her, and making her go through it alone. I think it's an amazing story (and only partially because it puts him back in Liz's orbit), but because it speaks to who Jason is. He's a control freak. He wants to save the day.
The Quartermaines tried to take his control away after the accident, and ever since then, he's been taking control of all his relationships. He even controls Sonny to a degree. Everyone talks about how he was able to raise Michael, even though he wasn't his, but he again, was in control of that, along with Carly.
He sees Sam's baby as a constant reminder of the one enemy he couldn't control (Because he was an A-list movie star who the brass was sucking up to, as opposed to Jason's usual dayplayer rivals).
I will say this, Sam has an aura about her in scenes with McBain that I never saw with Jason. I know some will think this is a calculated Liason push, but it isn't, I swear! LOL I actually am serious about wanting to see Liz bone Ewen, before an eventual Liason reunion. Loving the story, but definitely think Jason is a douche to Sam right now.

Okay, am I the only one that could truly care less at this point about Jason or Jasam? Everytime I see something about Jason or Jasam it just reminds me of that saying about putting the same thing in and getting the same thing back out. These two have hogged the screen for 3 plus years and ratings continued to plummet. No, I am not saying they single handedly killed GH, but they certainly did not help it to any great degree as the show was in last place and ratings were pathetic before the RC/FV take over. I ask myself, are they just continuing with Jasam as a form of appeasement for those who are unhappy about the OLTL transplants, cause I can honestly not come up with any other reason for continuing this couple who still could not generate any real excitment for the show after what has to be the biggest pimping and propping done to any couple on daytime in order to sell them to viewers.
Truth is, everywhere on the net I go, fans are talking about how they could either careless about Jason / Jasam, that they are sick of them, or that they plain just hate them at this point. So, I just wonder what it is that makes soap mag runners, show runners, etc. keep pushing these two like they are the most popular couple on daytime tv...when we all know it is just not true. I feel like we are still stuck in the twilight zone that was Guza and Frons where Jasam were popular cause they said they were and if you did not actually buy into it then they would keep forcefeeding you the Jasam koolaide until they "trained" you to like them.
Sorry, I just feel like this show is on very thin ice and continued focus on a couple that so many do not care about is not going to help the ratings.

I have to wonder what boards people are going to - if its a liason board im not surprised that folks would find no love for jasam. Unfortunately there is plenty of love for them elsewhere. I would suggest you check the official facebook thread for GH and you will see that the random readers tilt pro jasam although liason is also well touted. (and I say that to show im being honest, though its fairly verifiable)
Jamey I dont think you are touting and you know I would say if I thought you were lOL. I think you respect rons work and you see the story for what it is - a great way to tease both fanbases that works on the history and organically plays all four angles of the quad. I actually think the timing is good too because I think if robin were on the canvas people would sort of be wondering why hes leaning on liz when he knows he could lean on robin and robin being involved would hurt sam less. Were robin available to him and still he chose liz to lean on, i think he would seem like even more of a douchebag that he seems to be just as is. Whats missing for me is more alexis and kristina. I liked the molly sam scenes but alexis needs to be involved and I was hoping they would play on some of the history with her dislike for jason esp. now that theyve put her back in sonnys orbit as his attorney. Without kristina and with maxie in jail and abby dead, theres no one for sam to lean on - one of the many reasons this show needs to work on building frenemies in to the female side of the canvas, whether it be making sam and liz half siblings or bonding carly and sam and playing off carlys almost rape history with ric or having lulu come to see sam post ronnie meltdown (sad that neither one has really checked on the other, not normal behavior I think) and let them come together after going through such a huge ordeal. I think thats why some of the mcbam and sam/michael and sam/molly scenes seem contrived - because were maxie not in jail that would be more of her natural confidant.

I think Jason is just being honest about how he feels. There is no right of wrong here. Sam has her feelings about her rape and her baby, and Jason has his. Does anyone want Jason to lie about his hesitation over connecting with his worst enemy's child? Isn't it better to be honest about his emotions and deal with the problems now?
I don't think it really matters in the end because I think Jason is the father and Sam was never raped. I hope I am wrong, but I believe that it will come out that Franco staged the rape and Heather switched the paternity results.

JS I have no problem with jason being honest. I have a problem that he doesnt seem to be trying. Where are his heart felt pleas to sam to give him time to come around? Where are the moments of him asking SAM how SHE is coping? has he asked liz to direct him to get help from a group or a professional (rape counseling). Why has he had only one convo with sonny where he mostly expressed anger. Damn even sonny said he should work through it and even sonny is trying to help kate even after seeing her in bed with johnny. I never thought I would see the day where sonny seems to be the one trying to evolve and jasons being the non supportive tool. Its not jasons honest feelings that bother me, its his entitlement to them that annoys me. Sam thinks of her feelings and her babies but she also considers jason. You havent seen one moment of her really being angry with him because shes trying to support him - where is that in return? Will he ever say oh wait, I see sams pov in this?

As much as I loved the Liason coupling, I loved Liz vs. Sam just as much. I hated them making peace! Seeing Sam snapping at Liz and Liz telling her she needs to chill made me dance with glee.
Soap's need rivalries. What pissed me off is Brian Frons basically ordering Guza to get rid of all traces of Liason, because he didn't find Rebecca Herbst alluring enough to be paired with the show's leading man (Yes, that is a fact and what he said over and over again, to many people). Agenda ruins story. Now there are execs and writers in charge who don't want to ruin one of soap's only good triangles left because of personal preference. Sure, I'm Team Liason, others are Team JaSam, but that's what makes soaps fun. I'd ping pong them back between one another for years to come!

I just don't see why either fan base wants their girl with this douchebag. I like both Sam and Liz and both characters deserve better than Jason Morgan! On today's show Sam should've knocked him down and stomped all over his sorry ass with her heels. Jason Morgan is nothing but a big old raging bitch and needs someone to give him some damn midol.

I agree Jamey! I loved the arguments and snarking between Liz and Sam. That fight they had the night of the B&W Ball was classic soap. Brian Frons is, was, and will always be a moron. RH is gorgeous with absolutely flawless skin and hair. She has no wrinkles that I can see and never has bags under her eyes. How he did not find her alluring is beyond my comprehension. (I'm not going to say anything derogatory about Kemo's looks because I am trying to behave myself.)

And that's why I have never liked Jason and Sam as a couple. It's just like Jason and Courtney. It's just so agenda-driven, passionless and boring. I loved Sam squaring off with Liz and her squaring off with Alexis once upon a time. Sam is best as a bad girl. The only time I have enjoyed Sam was when she was tapping into her "inner-Cassadine" (threatening her romantic rival's children and sleeping with her mother's husband.) GH needs a vixen and Sam, for a short while, fit that bill and was awesome at it! I hate how Alexis has been backburnered into just being Sam's old mother when Alexis and Sam were once a viable rivalry. Sam is always more tolerable away from Jason and Jason is more tolerable away from Sam. The pair is human-Ambien!
Nowadways, I only enjoy Sam when with McBain.

UGH, it's painful to watch just how easily & quickly a supposed STRONG woman like Sam caves in to Jason when he wants to get his noodle wet.
