The real Jason Morgan???
If anyone had told me back in 2012 this time I'd be in favor of someone else playing Jason, I would have slapped them silly and called them a liar. But here I am 5 years later hoping and praying that Billy Miller remains Jason Morgan. And it's not because I think Billy Miller is a better Jason or even that he has more chemistry with Kelly, and make NO mistake, whether Jason turns out to be Billy or Steve I will now and forever remain a diehearted Jasam fan! It's just that at this point in the storytelling I like where Jasam is at and I don't want to see that balance disrupted. I like the freedom the writers have to write certain scenes (particularly sex scenes) with Billy as Jason, I may be wrong, this is just my opinion but I feel like Steve wasn't comfortable with certain things, him being married and all. As a person who is married i can definitely respect that but, I prefer the way its done with Billy and Kelly for entertainment purposes. When i watch Jasam, I don’t see Steve or Billy and Kelly, I see Jason and Sam and this is what i like to see.
LOOK AT THE GRINDING! Look at his hand on her ass! that’s the Jasam i like to see
We don’t see Jasam in bed looking like this when Steve was Jason
And Check this out, Sam modelling her little leather Jacket for her Hubby.
Right before he takes it off of her.
All Sexiness aside though, I think with the exception of his face and if it is to be done right Steve as Jason is going to be a tough sell. Aside from what i’ve written before my reason is this:
Danny - Danny kept running to Jake Doe. When his face was wrapped up from surgery, again in the hospital hallway and a bunch of other times. Danny felt the connection, and it had nothing to do with his face. Once his face was all wrapped up and the other times he had a totally different face all together but Danny was just drawn to him because he felt the connection a connection he was too young to understand and could hardly explain so he just kept running, running into his daddy’s arms.
And Although Daddy was in a coma and hadn’t the faintest idea of his own name, his vitals improved at the touch of his son’s hand.
Mrs Yee - It is believed that Chinese, Asians on a whole connect on a more spiritual level , they look beyond the outer layers and see your soul. And Mrs Yee was convinced that Jake was Jason, she recognized his soul, his spirit. And one might argue that her eyesight was going but it wasn’t gone. And she didn’t just see Jason, she felt him too.
Not long before Mrs Yee called Jake Jason, Sonny at death’s door saw his friend show up yet again to save his life. Spinelli saw him from behind and called him Jason and he and Carly became the fasted of friends. Jason hates Franco, Drew and Franco grew as kids together but some how Jake doe Having now memory or knowledge of who Franco is just hate him on instinct. All these people in Jason’s life were in Jake does life, well for the most part, Sonny had his issues cause he’s naturally suspicious and Jake Doe and Carly were close. But Carly unlike Sonny went off what she felt. Sonny went off what he saw, which was a strange guy getting close to the people in his family. Carly recognized something in Jake that she’d been missing ever since she lost Jason.
As for Sam, she and Jason has always been loyal to a fault and they were too busy being loyal to the wrong people to see what was staring them in the face, they were connected and they belonged together. Danny wasn’t the only one who felt a connection with Jake Doe in the hospital room that day, She felt it too and in the hallway when Danny grabbed Jake’s leg, the look in her eyes when their eyes met was nothing short of, I know you, my heart knows your heart and our souls are connected.
If this is some elaborate plot designed to hurt Sam, I can’t see it. And we all know when the words plot and hurt are used in a statement about Sam our minds run straight for Helena. But i can’t see even Helena drumming this up, what would be her endgame? That Sam would be deliriously happy? Or she would be happy and then haunted by the though of being happy with her husband’s replacement while he fought to come home. That doesn’t make sense either because Patient 6 was being held against his will so what were they waiting for?
Everything is designed to make Billy look like the imposter, Patient 6 face, his fighting Skills, time frame aligned, (he missed 5 years) he called Sonny and Sam and he has memories. But Billy has Memories too and if you ask me, his fight skills are on point, so until i have reason not to, I’m going to keep hoping. Hoping that the writers see that Steve served us well with Mob enforcer, Stone Cold, ride or die Jason but Billy is taking us into the future with a Jason that chooses his family. And not give up his son to be raised by another man who ended up abandoning him in the long run. A man who see’s the value in life and the joy in raising his family. Making Steve Burton Jason is going to have a lot of people expecting things to be as they were and i believe the characters have matured and evolved past all that.
