General Hospital spoilers report Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is back on Port Charles soil, and GH fans couldn’t be happier. But some of us may not be so delighted with the person he’s morphed into in the time that he’s been away, and it could take some time for the truth about why he’s so seemingly different to come to light.

One prevailing theory is that John ‘Jagger’ Cates (Adam Harrington) somehow managed to rescue Jason from the crumbled tunnel atop of him, save his life, and reprogram him to use him as a weapon against Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and the rest of the mob.

But few have considered that Jagger may not have programmed Jason merely to be a servant of the justice system, but may have programmed him to return to his roots — the way he wishes he could have helped his little brother, Michael ‘Stone’ Cates (Michael Sutton) years ago.

General Hospital Spoilers — Jason Morgan Is A Fine Replacement

While there has never been a problem bringing people back to life on GH, we all have to admit that bringing Stone back to life would be reaching. It would also upend and virtually undo one of the most impactful storylines in television history.

GH broke down barriers surrounding HIV and AIDS controversy and made knowledge of it a household norm. But bringing Jason back is exactly what everyone wants — though Sonny may come to regret missing his friend so much when he realizes what’s been done to him.

Years ago, a car accident left Jason Quartermaine (Steve Burton) unable to remember who he was. Sonny took him under his wing, much the same as he did with Stone, and molded him into someone entirely different from who he always was.

Jagger can’t turn back the clock with Stone, but he can try to give the Quartermaine’s back their family member while robbing Sonny of the most important person in his life all over again.

Jagger knows he can never make Sonny truly understand how it felt for him to watch his brother spiral out of control and die at the hands of the mob’s influence.

While Sonny never held a gun to the kid’s head, he did introduce him to a world of danger that ultimately claimed his life when he developed AIDS.

In the pursuit of an eye for an eye justice, Jagger wants to take the closest thing Sonny ever had to a brother and ruin it for him before his very eyes.

Nothing hits Sonny harder than betrayal, and learning that it was his brother-in-arms who tried to kill him just might be the straw that breaks this mob camel’s back.

Jagger would love nothing more than to rub salt in this wound of Sonny’s and ensure that he knows he will never see his beloved Jason again, even though he is alive.

The Jason that is coming back to town won’t be anybody’s favorite, and we have to question what impact that will have on the entire community. He has two children, and while he won’t be Sonny’s mob enforcer anymore, he is quite obviously someone else’s.

Is being a killer less harmful to his family if he’s killing the bad guys now instead? Stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers to see how this plays out.
