General Hospital spoilers and updates suggest that Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) experienced significant PTSD while in WSB custody. This raises the question: was Stone Cold sexually assaulted during his time in prison?
It Was Clear To Fans That There Was A Major Change In Jason, And Not A Good One
Jason made a dramatic comeback on the canvas during the episode aired on Monday, July 13, which coincidentally marked the 16,000th milestone episode.
Right from the start, it was clear to fans that Jason had faced unimaginable challenges during his time in Jakarta, as reflected in his demeanor, facial expressions, and noticeable weight loss. He first appeared on a plane heading home.
Throughout the flight, fans were shown flashbacks revealing the torment he endured in the WSB prison, where a guard was seen torturing and assaulting him. Although Jason has typically been a man of few words, his silence spoke volumes during his return show on Monday.
Jason Appeared To Be In A State Of Inner Turmoil
He appeared to be in a state of inner turmoil. While it was evident that he felt joy about returning home to his son, Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn), it was equally apparent that Jason was relieved to escape the confines of that prison cell.
This man has been granted a fresh start, eager to embark on a new journey. However, Sonny Corinthos’s (Maurice Benard) right-hand man has faced numerous challenges throughout his life.
Jason is no stranger to being taken hostage, held captive, and subjected to violence, indicating that there is much more to his story than what is immediately visible.
Michael Corinthos Was Assaulted In Prison, In A Groundbreaking Storyline
Fans of General Hospital may recall the harrowing experience of a much younger Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) back in 2011 when he was imprisoned for the murder of Claudia Zaccharra (Sarah Joy Brown).
He was raped by an inmate, and Jason even committed a crime so he could be imprisoned in the same facility, but was unable to prevent Michael’s assault.
This issue was seldom mentioned among soap opera fans, or on television, marking it as a significant narrative for its era. Is it possible that we might witness a similar scenario unfold for Michael’s uncle? Jason has certainly faced considerable trauma, far exceeding the routine assaults he endured; upon his return in 2023 after serving as an FBI operative, Jason was indeed transformed, but not to this degree.
Summer Spoilers For The ABC Soap Tease Jason Makes Big Life Changes
Upcoming summer spoilers for General Hospital indicate that Jason’s experience in WSB custody will have a ‘deep impact’ on his perspective on life and his future plans.
He plans to make significant changes that will impact Danny, Sonny, Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud), Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), and the Quartermaines. It seems Jason wants a simpler life, to be more present with Danny, and to leave his mob lifestyle behind.
After everything he’s faced, he might just want solitude to focus on his family and loved ones-Jason could also be tired of being ‘everyone’s’ hero. Given his experiences, who could blame him-it may take months for Jason to open up about his trauma.
