Jason Morgan is a free man, and heading back to Port Charles. However, prison seems to have had a shocking effect on him. TV Insider posted the first photos of Jason Morgan after he was released from prison. And they reveal that Jason’s time in prison must have been terrible.
In the photos, Jason Morgan looks haggard. His eyes look troubled, and he definitely looks like a changed man. Whatever he went through in the WSB prison must have been extremely difficult, because Jason is a man who is known for being unflappable. He is definitely flapped.
Big Changes Are Coming For Jason
The Jason Morgan that returns to Port Charles isn’t going to be the same one that left. On the “That’s Awesome” podcast that actor Steve Burton does with co-star Bradford Anderson he teased some of the changes that will be coming for Jason Morgan. He said:
“We’re shifting directions a little bit, which is going to be interesting for fans,” he revealed. “I think they did a really good job. It’s really given me something to play, which is nice. So, yeah, it’s going to be interesting. It’s shaking things up, which is going to be a lot of fun.”
Fun for the actor maybe, but it could be traumatizing for fans to see Jason so troubled by whatever he experienced in the WSB prison. Of course, no one expected the WSB prison to be a luxury resort. But Jason’s troubling appearance makes it look like whatever he went through really changed him.
The “General Hospital” head writers also talked about how prison will change Jason when they said in the Soap Opera Digest Summer Preview:
“Jason returns from abroad a changed man. His imprisonment has had a profound effect on his outlook and how he intends to conduct the rest of his life.”
Does that mean Jason will become a law-abiding citizen? What will that mean for his career with Sonny? Sonny has been grooming Jason to take over the “family” business.
What’s Next For Jason Morgan?
Jason may have to put his recovery from imprisonment on hold. The first thing he needs to do when he’s back in Port Charles is get Danny under control. Danny has been making very poor decisions lately. Jason needs to step in before Danny makes a mistake that he won’t be able to undo.
Once Jason has reunited with Danny, he will have to get caught up on everything that’s happened while he was away. Sidwell is in prison, but he’s still a threat. Sonny needs Jason right now. That could cause conflict between them if Jason is really trying to change his life.
Even though Jason can’t be charged by the WSB for anything related to Cullum, he’s still on their radar. He should be very careful about his next steps. Josslyn Jacks got him freed this time, but if there’s a next time he will be put away for good.
