Thursday Thrill

Because I think I need a place to showcase my television obsession pop culture appreciation, I'm going to give you all a Thursday Thrill.

I happened to be home yesterday afternoon at 3 pm. You may not know this about me but I love soap operas, particularly General Hospital. I'm a GH watcher from way back (1993!). Thanks to the internet I've read the entire history of the show. One of the characters I love is Jason Morgan, played by Steve Burton.





I've actually liked Steve since he played the boyfriend on a little sci-fi sitcom I watched on Saturday afternoons called "Out of this World" and Eve's boyfriend Harris on Days of Our Lives. The thing I love about his character on GH is his storyline. Jason Morgan is a bit of a thug. He's involved with the mob and is a man who sees life in either black or white with no shades of gray. Before he was Jason Morgan, however, he was Jason Quartermaine, medical student and the shining light of the Quartermaine family. Jason suffered a critical brain injury while a passenger in a car driven by his alcoholic brother, AJ. Forsaking his birth family because he had no recollection of them, he turned to the only life a man with no conscience can have -- contracted killer.

Along the way, Jason has been involved in some serious mob activities, as well as with some very attractive women. I'm not sure who I want to see Jason end up with. For now, I'm just enjoying looking at him.
