In the world of General Hospital, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) has always been a rock-solid figure in Michael Corinthos’ (Chad Duell) life. From the day Michael was born,

Jason has stood by him as a father figure and protector. Fans may recall that Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) once allowed everyone to believe Jason was Michael’s biological father.

This deception was meant to shield Michael from the truth—that A.J. Quartermaine (Sean Kanan) was his real father. Now that Jason has returned to the Quartermaine mansion

, intriguing possibilities are unfolding. Could his reestablished connection with the Quartermaine family, particularly Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliott), change the dynamics in unexpected ways? Jason and Tracy have historically been at odds, but could this proximity turn former adversaries into allies? More importantly, could Jason uncover a major secret—that Michael is the father of Sasha Gilmore’s (Sofia Mattsson) baby?

Michael Corinthos’ storyline seems to be on pause, with Chad Duell’s departure leaving fans bittersweet. While Duell’s exit feels open-ended, suggesting he could return, it’s clear he’ll be focusing on family and other opportunities for now. This creates a significant gap in Michael’s story, particularly concerning his role as a father.

If Michael remains off-screen, the question arises: who will step up for his child? The absence of a father figure might open the door for Jason to take on that role, even temporarily, to ensure Michael’s legacy is protected.

GH Spoilers — Sasha’s Secret Revealed

Sasha has been leaning on her budding relationships with Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) and Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner), but it seems unlikely they’ll be the ones she confides in about her baby’s true paternity. Could Jason become the person Sasha turns to? Recent interactions between Jason and Sasha have hinted at a budding trust and understanding between them.

Jason’s past as a stand-in father for Michael adds emotional weight to the story. Those poignant flashbacks of Jason caring for Michael as a baby remind viewers of his unwavering loyalty to the Corinthos family. Would Jason take on the responsibility of ensuring Michael’s child is cared for in Michael’s absence?

General Hospital Spoilers — Jason Steps Into the Role

Sasha doesn’t have many strong connections in Port Charles. Her troubled past as a con artist and her journey toward redemption have left her isolated. Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) had been a close friend, but their recent discovery that they’re cousins complicates things.

While Sasha is unlikely to ask anyone to pretend to be her baby’s father, Jason might step into the role voluntarily. His protective instincts, deep ties to Michael, and compassion for Sasha could lead him to ensure that her child has the stability and care they need. Jason might see this as a way to preserve Michael’s role in the child’s life while safeguarding Sasha from judgment and uncertainty.
