This scene always cut like a knife…even when he came back it never was the same. The SB's chemistry was there but the tension and force feed of CarSon took over :(
Sorry I was so pissed at Jason during these scenes...He sent Carly way to many mixed messages...If he could only be her friend why was he so pissed about her sleeping with Sonny?
Jason has always only thought of Carly as a friend, she is the one that kept pushing the issue of wanting more. Remember he is the one that has to experience things to learn their actual effect ie when he saw Carly with AJ and couldn't understand why it affected him, and then he started to hate AJ for the first time. Slowly his feelings for Carly grew and when he finally decided to open his heart to someone he knew was untrustworthy, she slept with Sonny and now he got to feel what Robin and Sonny were trying to explain all along but he recovered quickly because he was never in love with Carly.
luvs2bspld I think because he knew that her going w/ Sonny meant he (Jason) couldn't be with Michael the way he wanted to be and that's why he was so hurt. He'd have been fine to live w/ Carly & Michael in a platonic situation re: Carly, but she needed the loving with sex that Jason couldn't give her, so this triad -- like the Jason-Robin-Carly one -- wasn't gonna work either. The goodbye to Michael was the main Goodbye at this time for Jason.
luvs2bspld Jason was falling in love with Carly. But when she slept with Sonny, he realized that it was in her character to lash out when she was hurt or angry. She would do or say the most hurtful thing she could. She would be genuinely sorry and vow it would never happen again but it would. She could not help herself. He knew if he stayed in a relationship with her that every time she was hurt, she would lash out at him He felt he could not let her have that kind of power over him. He still loved her but he could not be in a romantic relationship with her, he could only let himself be a friend. If he did, she would hurt him over and over again. It was a wise decision. It enabled them to have a lifelong friendship that would never lasted a romantic relationship. Most of us have seen that kind of a relationship among our acquaintances. One person is hurt over and over until the relationship crashes and burns in bitterness and hate. Most people do not recognize what is happening until it is too late. Jason avoided that.
The actors may have had good chemistry, but the characters wouldn't work as a couple. Jason was always enabling Carly no matter how bad she was, and Carly was obsessed with Jason. It wouldn't have worked.
GH would be better without the onesided crazy friendship of Jarly...i think he only said that because she needed to hear not because he meant it but I dont think he was ever in love with her but he did love her not like Robin not ever like her
