General Hospital spoilers promise a display of bravery and heroism this week, September 21-25 as GH dramatically asks and answers the question, ‘Who needs Jason Morgan when you’ve got Jake Doe (Billy Miller)?’ That’s what many of the Corinthos clan are thinking now that Jake has found himself in the violent and unenviable role of mob protector once more. What’s disturbing is that Jason Morgan knowingly stepped into this job and was at least getting a paycheck for his trouble, but Jake is just throwing himself into harm’s way on a whim or being dragged back into the Mob life by his still-murky past.
The latest Jake misadventure will be to rescue an off-the-rails Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig) from his own stupidity. We know Morgan is battling some bipolar demons, but the kid is not even trying to use any common sense. Morgan followed Julian Jerome (William DeVry) out of town to the lake house Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) rented for them and, last we saw, is holding the couple at gun point.
Does Morgan think that Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) will take it well when he hears that Morgan was holding his baby mama Alexis under the gun? Fortunately, Jake is on the way. When Jake shows up to General Hospital to check in on Sonny and Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright), Carly fills him in on Morgan’s disastrous choices.
TJ Ashford (Tequan Richmond) will confess to Michael Quartermaine (Chad Duell) that he gave Morgan the info on the lake house but had no idea Morgan was intent on murder. Nice try TJ, did you think Morgan was headed there to hang out and play dominoes with Julian? With this info in hand, Michael fills in his mom who fills in Jake who promises to intervene.
Look for Jake to race to the lake and try and fish Morgan out of the bad situation he’s gotten himself into. Julian also has a gun and, if he thinks Alexis is at risk, he won’t hesitate to put a bullet in Morgan. After all, Julian already doesn’t like the kid for nailing his sister Ava Jerome (Maura West) and hurting niece Kiki Jerome (Hayley Erin). Julian won’t shoot to kill, but he’ll shoot if he has to.
There are few good outcomes to this scenario. There are have been “General Hospital” rumors swirling for months that Morgan was going to end up at GH as a patient – will it be for a gunshot wound thanks to Julian? Or will Morgan wound Alexis or Julian? Either way, Morgan may land in the psych ward at GH for going on a gun-toting rampage against his father’s perceived enemy.
Jake speeds towards the lake and will arrive in time to be the savior once again. Will Morgan also recognize that Jake is channeling Jason’s spirit when he comes to save him from his personal demons? Carly and Sonny are going to owe Jake, once again, for bailing out a member of the Corinthos clan in a big way. Maybe they need to put the amnesiac on payroll…
This is a nail biter and one of the most edge of your seat Friday cliffhangers that GH has given us in a while. Good job Jean Passanante and Shelly Altman. They’re picking up the pace of the storylines, going in new directions, and giving us lots of action to dig into. As a long-time General Hospital fan, I applaud what’s going on there. Now if someone will just tell Jake who he is, things will be perfect in Port Charles!
