1996 Jason 16

[@JasonMorgan1995]

Looking back it’s hard to believe Steve Burton is 50 years old now compared how he was in his early 20’s time really flies by

[@angiechambless1092]

Little Lucky and Emily...

[@beegee1960]

I love Reginald. He is the most decent person in the house.

[@giggles1987]

thanks for posting all the Jason scenes since the first accident.

[@nikkialgien]

Jason wasn't an asshole he just tired of everyone trying to tell him who he is and how to behave like the Old Jason.

[@jasoncarly]

Nikki Algien whatever. He was and I stand by that. I love him now though.

[@AgentMacklinFBI]

@@jasoncarly oh, this Jason's a dink, he eventually gets better but he needs a smack

[@chrisorlando6162]

and physically assaulting Keisha? Should've been locked up!

[@beegee1960]

Edward condemns Jason for not following the house code of behavior that he “has known since he was a baby.” Someone really needs to remind Edward that Jason doesn’t remember his precious code of conduct or very little of anything else. Ned tries, but he just brushes Ned’s concern aside as him just feeling guilty and wanting to coddle Jason because of that guilt.

[@Anomalous602]

Jason Q will always be the best with having common sense and being everything Jason Morgan is not with letting people like Carly and Sonny take advantage of him on being used.

[@beegee1960]

There was a lot more of Jason Quartermaine in Jason Morgan than most people realize.

[@thefighter5182]

Jason M will always be the best with having common sense and being everything Jason Quartermaine is not with letting people like Edward and Alan and AJ take advantage of him on being used.

[@shahannagrey8427]

No, he’s just reflecting back the utter disappointment most of the family are showing that he’s him and not Their Jason. With very few exceptions they constantly remind him he’s a very poor second. He knows they wish he was someone else and they’re not even trying to find out who he is now. I think he was trying to just be there, but the consent reminders of what he should like, or be, is wearing him down and because of the brain injury he has no cap on his temper. It definitely is not his fault!

[@roseduffield5183]

Love these Jason scenes.

[@sandrajohnson4778]

I’m glad they rejected Jason……that gave him a chance to find people who appreciated him and allowed him to be himself…….even if it was Sonny and Carly…….I love Carly and Sonny by the way.

[@beegee1960]

Edward couldn’t just lay out terms for Jason, and let him choose; he had to put in an ultimatum. If Jason did not do what he said, then he could find another place to live. That was Jason’s clue that it was time to leave before the ultimatum became do as we say or be locked up. I can see Edward proposing it ‘’to keep him safe and prevent him from disgracing the family.’’ He just had to show he was in control. But it backfired as most of his ultimatums did.

[@beegee1960]

Some people need to quit being idiots and go read up on brain injuries and their side effects,

[@tonyaj4545]

Oh for Christ sakes, he is acting out for a reason..His whole world just came crashing down on him and all he feels is anger and confusion at this point and people expect him to “act” accordingly?? Leave him Alone!

[@ShortStuffMegs21]

Jason really never gave the Qs a chance. They weren't his family from the moment he woke up and he never let them forget that.

[@melindoranightsilver9298]

Because they couldn't get over the fact that he wasn't who he used to be. Ned, Lila (and I think Emily) were the ones who tried to give him space and let him learn who he wanted to be. The rest of them treated him like a messed up child or lamented who he used to be. At this point, he was like a child. He couldn't understand a lot of emotions so he lashed out. That's why to this day he still makes a big deal about how a person needs to make their own choices and how they need to be who they feel they need to be. Had the Q's (and Wards) acted more like Ned and Lila then perhaps things would have been different.

[@thefighter5182]

Well Edward gave Jason Morgan a way out. Because Jason Morgan didn't want their money at all. Because Jason Morgan just wanted to leave on his own terms and that was the best thing that happened in this whole situation and that's exactly why.

[@sabrinaerickson7098]

I say they failed each other.

[@7srchoed]

It was completely unfair for them to have expectations on Jason after such a traumatic life changing event. It’s like they all decided the brain damage was irrelevant and they’ll just train him into being their old Jason again.

[@thefighter5182]

Edward failed to realize that Jason Morgan didn't want a damn thing to do with them and that's all.

[@beegee1960]

Edward doesn’t seem to understand that he has lost his memory.

[@denzelpinkerton9665]

& he will never will

[@maurened5969]

According to when Jason and AJ were born on the show, they should both be about 15 years old in 1996.

[@spenserwilkins1381]

Yeah I know but it is a TV show because Jocelyn is definitely not supposed to be in that age that she's now she looks like she's fourteen but if this was reality she should be at least 10 or 11

[@spenserwilkins1381]

Plus Molly Lansing is that supposed in her 20 she's supposed to be at least 16 or 17

[@beegee1960]

Well, AJ pretty much did knock the hell out of him, physically. The rest of them knocked hell out of him mentally and emotionally, expecting him to just take up where he left off before the accident. They claimed to understand about his brain injury and how it affected him, but that is not how they treated him. They sent the cops after him to drag him home instead of giving him the benefit of the doubt and then acting like he should have been grateful for it. How humiliating it must have been to be brought home like a wayward child instead of a grown man. Telling him he was forbidden to take the car in the future écluse he was’t ready to drive. But he just proved he could, apparently one of those things he retained because it was in a different part of the brain. If they had been smart, they would have told him that he could tested on driving, and if he checked out he could take the car. But they had to be in control. Treating him like a child instead of a young man struggling with an injury that left him more emotionally impaired than mentally. If he had broken a leg in that accident would they have expected him to get up and walk with no problems? Of course not. They would have given him all the time he needed. Well his brain was broken. It didn’t turn him into a child but it did leave him with limitation. But they treated him like a child while at the same time expecting him to act just as he did before the accident. And when he did not act as they expected, they let him know how disappointed they were that he was no longer their golden child. No wonder he was hurt and confused.

[@Granger15]

Why are people upset that the Q's wanted their son back? If it were my child I would be devastated that he had no memory of me.

[@27freddiemitch]

You all act like he didn't have a head injury and remember the Q's kept forcing themselves on him come on they was so disrespectful to him this was all aj fault and the where try to baby Jason and Edward was the worse these if they would have just left him alone and stop trying to bring the old Jason back smh lol

[@beegee1960]

Where does Edward get off giving orders about fixing the window? The house is Monica’s.

[@matthaddock1817]

My thoughts exactly. And it's not just Monica's, but also Alan's. They live together, don't they?

[@beegee1960]

Every time Edward intervenes, he just makes it worse. Alan is not much better.

[@camm8642]

he needed to leave he didn't fit with them anymore he didn't know them.......and they couldn't be themselves having to constantly try to live life with someone who is essentially a stranger but isn't

[@soapgirl15]

They completely forgot what Tony told them about Jason and what he's going through. They needed to realize he was different and not the Jason they knew. That he didn't remember them and they needed to give him space to find out who he was now. Maybe if they just accepted who he was after the accident he wouldn't have got as far away as possible from them.

[@sarahswomley2580]

A different reality

[@sandrajohnson4778]

All them Qs were wrong and self righteous.....not one of them made an effort to try and understand him.

[@chrisorlando6162]

"your credit card is cancelled" :I don't understand" .. Well, its real simple dope. If you keep going around saying "THAT Jason is dead!" well, then so are his funds.. Hit the bricks boy..get a job!

[@JasonMorgan1995]

😐

[@firecracker2225]

I hated this scene. Jason was just acting like a spoiled brat. Did he really think he could treat them the way he did, destroy his bedroom, storm out, and they would just let him sponge off of them?! Hey buddy, if you don't wanna be a Quartermaine, fine. But then you don't get the money. And as for letting him sleep in a room with a broken window, if he had been my son, he'd be sleeping in a room with a broken window and a broken jaw, the little brat. I would have knocked the hell out of him.

[@beegee1960]

None of them really understand Jason’s condition. Jason has brain damage, he has had a personality shift, he is struggling to understand a world that he has no connection to. Ned is the only one who has any sense. And by cutting off the money that was supposed to be his, they just confirmed that they don’t get it They just drove him further away. And you know, at least part of the money in his bank account; he probably earned himself. How did Edward have the right to deprive him of what was his? But the money was not the issue. Jason didn’t care about it. And the Quartermaines didn’t care about the money, they were just using that to control him and make him dependent on them. And as far as the money goes, he walked out on the money. He did not care about money.

[@beegee1960]

Do you seriously think Jason was concerned about money? They didn’t believe that he could take care of himself, but he proved he could. He never took one dime from them. He went out on his own, brain damage and all and made it on his own. Even before he hooked up with Sonny, he was supporting himself.. I believe that even without Sonny he would have been successful at something.

[@beegee1960]

Well, they pretty much did knock hell out of him physically, mentally, and emotionally. That is why he left. He is acting like a brat. But think about it. They had done everything they could to force him to come home and be their Jason. They had the cops drag him back. They cut off his funds. He realized that they were all about control. The authorities and money was their methods of control. He felt he had to leave. He believed they would lock him away if he didn’t. And they very well might have. I can certainly see Edward suggesting it and Alan and Monica going along with him because they don’t know what else to do.

[@7srchoed]

That’s ironic, because if you called him a spoiled brat he wouldn’t know what it means. They all decided they knew how to fix him, when he doesn’t think that he’s broken. It was an impossible situation. Of course they were going to screw up, and Jason didn’t have the emotional connection with his family that would make want to be patient with them.

[@jasoncarly]

Jason you feel like you were in prison in a beautiful mansion? Well guess what, you made it that way! he didn't even try to get along and the way he talked to people. man if that was me I would punched Him in the mouth!

[@chidorigokuamvs]

He's living with strangers who pressure him and treat him like he's a puppy or a child and they won't give him any space or independence can't blame him for see it a prison

[@shahannagrey8427]

chidorigokuamvs ..absolutely right. It’s so obvious he feels rejected, but still expected to be thankful!

[@beegee1960]

if that injury had been a broken back instead of a.damaged brain, I suppose you would have punched him when he did not get up and walk like he did before. After all, he has always known how to walk, known it since he was a child. Well his behavior was the result of a broken brain. He could no more control it than he could have gotten up and walked with a broken back. Both injuries would take time to heal. He would need time to relearn all those behaviors that he once didn’t even have to think about. The difference between a broken back and a broken brain is that a brain injury is hidden. It is easy to mistake his behavior as him just being a jerk.

[@beegee1960]

NeishaLuvsGH Come on, this is not a normal young man complaining with no reason. He is young man with no memory of himself or anyone around him. He doesn’t have a connection with a single person on the planet. He is bombarded with descriptions of himself before the accident. His family describes him as a paragon, a golden child. But he does not feel like that person and they have all made it clear, unintentionally of course, that he is no longer that perfect son. He has no clue how to become who they want him to be. When he tries to break free, they have him brought back like a puppy that ran away. They tell him he can’t take a car, although he just drove a sports car across town. The family make it clear they don’t think he can take care of himself. They cut off his bank account and his credit card. They treat him like a child. But he is a man, brain damaged, but still a man and not stupid. He does not care about living in a beautiful mansion. That has no meaning to him. He is feeling trapped. In later years, he says that if he had not left, they would have institutionalized him. Of course it felt like a prison. All prisons are not stone walls and iron bars. A prison keeps one restrained.

[@jasoncarly]

Jason please shut up! he opens his mouth and I see red!

[@thefighter5182]

Yeah well the only thing I see red is you saying stuff against Jason Morgan and honestly I hate you for that.

[@jasoncarly]

stop acting like child then! grow up!

[@beegee1960]

He was trying to do that, but it was going to take time. It took him 22 years to be where he was before the accident. Most of that training and experience was gone in an instant. You think he could just snap his fingers and it was all just going to reappear? But like you, they were not willing to wait. They wanted Jason to be himself again. right now!

[@thefighter5182]

@jasoncarly grow yourself up idiot

[@thefighter5182]

@jasoncarly You're being stupid for saying that. Because I'm a grown up.
