General Hospital Discussion Group
it's ridiculous that he's willing to end the violence in his world for Michael but not his own flesh and blood?? Come on people! (By people, I mean, writers!) It makes no sense whatsoever. If he doesn't mention Jake in the next 5 minutes of his convo with Carly, I may never forgive him. :)
Currently Jake is safely in a home leading a living a life with his mother and with Lucky playing his dad. Jason is out of Jake's life and Liz has vowed to keep it that way to protect Jake. Jake will never know Jason is his father (until he's SORASed). So whatever Jason does right now to change his ways, it will have no effect on Jake.
On the other hand, he is Michael's uncle and Michael does look up to Jason, second to Sonny. Jason is in Michael's life, unlike Jake's. Jason's attempt at making a change is never too late. Especially for Michael.
But the writers leaving Jake completely out of Jason's conversation was remiss, I think. To think he wouldn't relate losing Jake because of his lifestyle in his discussion with Carly seems a bit irresponsible.
I can understand that Jason sees Michael as the child in imminent danger, while Jake is safe.
What I can't understand is why Jason thinks keeping his hands clean makes any difference. He's willing to work for the mob, he's willing to take the mob's money, but he won't pull the trigger himself? So what? He's still a mobster, a bad guy, and a lousy example.

IMO this kinda explains the whole Sam situation.
Apparently Jason can *forgive* Sam (and shag her) for endangering Jake but he went on a complete vendetta against Claudia for endangering Michael. Is this proof that Michael means more to Jason than Jake does? Jason couldn't give up the mob life to build a home for his son, but is willing to give up the mob life for Michael and his life.
Sad...I never thought I would be this disappointed in Jason...never.
