Jason: Dead Or Alive?

Has Jason used up his ninth life?

Port Charles needs a town slogan, and we’ve got one for them: Make Love, Not War. Ha! As if.

Friday’s episode of GENERAL HOSPITAL had estranged daredevils, Jason and Sam, reuniting after way too many months apart and yearning for each other. They headed to the bedroom, rolled around a little, clothes remaining in tact (again we say, as if!) and declared their undying love. From the distance, the sound of a baby’s cry stopped the building desire. Sam returned to the bed, this time, with her baby in arms. The three were the perfect family. A sweet, sweet moment… interrupted by Bernie’s coarse voice on the answering machine saying, “it’s a matter of life and death.” Well, Bernie had it HALF right. A few minutes — and a few shots — later, Jason’s weak, body spilled out blood all over Pier 52. Love, not war, Jason. Love, not war.

Duke had the idea. He was all fired up to perform his I-was-dead-for-23-years-but-I’m-still-hot-for-you husbandly duties, only for Luke to interrupt his indecent proposal to Anna. If metaphorically throwing ice water on their steamy moment wasn’t enough, Luke yanked a hair from Duke’s head for a DNA test. (Working in that lab is the best and busiest job in town!) That double-ouch put Duke in one heck of a foul mood. If you don’t believe us, tune in on Monday!

With Monday comes all sorts of questions. Did Jason survive the bullet to the back? If it walks like a Duke and talks like a Duke, will Luke prove it’s not always a Duke? How will Dante take the news that Lulu can’t have a baby? And, most important of ALL, what in the world will Todd and Diane’s first conversation be like? Oh, to be a fly on THAT wall!

Tune in to GENERAL HOSPITAL, 2:00 ET and 1:00 PT/CT on ABC. You won’t be sorry!
