General Hospital spoilers tease that longtime fan favorite Jason Morgan is falling into an all-too-familiar pattern, and viewers are growing increasingly frustrated.
Once revered as the strong, silent enforcer, Jason (Steve Burton) now appears to be more of a sidekick to the Corinthos family than a man in charge of his own life—and fans are not impressed.
With Sam’s recent death leaving a void in his personal life, many expected Jason to step up as a father and devote more time to his children. But instead of seeing
Jason take control of his future, he seems completely absorbed in the lives of Sonny (Maurice Benard), Carly (Laura Wright), and even Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell). Despite not currently being in Port Charles full-time, his loyalty to the Corinthos clan remains as unshakable as ever—and it’s starting to feel more like a burden than a bond.
Devoted viewers are beginning to question why Jason constantly puts the needs of others ahead of his own family. Although he has always viewed the Corinthos family as his own, fans are calling for him to reclaim his independence and prioritize his children—something they believe has been long overdue.
Across social media, fans are vocalizing their disappointment. One fan wrote, “We all know Jason can be an amazing dad—we’ve seen it with Michael and Josslyn. That’s why it’s so frustrating that he’s not showing up for his own kids.” Another fan echoed that sentiment, saying, “His character has been stuck in this role for so long. If he finally focused on being a full-time dad, people might say it’s boring, but it’s exactly what’s needed.”
The concern doesn’t end there. Some believe that recent writing choices are pushing Jason too far into the background, with one passionate viewer commenting, “Now that Liz Korte is writing, Jason’s even more attached to Carly and Sonny than ever before. It’s become ridiculous. If the show keeps going in this direction, GH might lose viewers.”
While fans acknowledge Jason’s loyalty is part of what makes his character compelling, many agree it’s time for a shift. They want to see Jason reestablish his own identity—one that doesn’t revolve around constantly cleaning up the Corinthos family’s messes. Whether that means embracing his role as a father, forming new alliances, or stepping away from Sonny and Carly’s drama, change is desperately needed.
As General Hospital continues, fans are hoping for a turning point in Jason’s journey. Will he finally break free from the shadows of Sonny and Carly and forge his own path? Or will his blind loyalty cost him everything—including his family and fans’ respect?
