Tracy comforts Alan about AJ 2-16-05.wmv 

This was brilliant writing and brilliant acting. R.I.P. Stuart Damon. I think the writers made a huge mistake writing off Alan when they did. And killing AJ off just to bring him back to kill him again was a waste of talent and a waste of years of great storylines.

OMG, in the beginning Alan sounds just like Tracy sounded during the family gathering when they all found out that Lila was dead! They are so believable as brother and sister. Stuart and Jane are incredible actors!

Tracy truly had her brother’s back in times of crisis. If anyone could’ve bullied AJ through that door, it would’ve been his Aunt Tracy

Stuart Damon delivered 1 hell of a performance in this scene of that year.

The scene between Stuart and Jane almost leaves me in tears. (kudos to them) . I have always loved their sparring with each other. The Quartermaines have entertained me since the late 70's.

As much as Tracy and Alan got on each other's nerves; and believe me, they DID, this scene showed that they still had one another's backs when the chips were down. Tracy was there to comfort him.

Scenes like these... make me miss Stuart even more 😢😢😢

I miss Alan so much!!!

I've said it before, their scene w/Lila died, and I'll keep saying it, Alan & Tracey/Stuart & Jane are true professionals and so damn believable as brother & sister, they've hit it out of the park every time since day 1, always! I still miss them & the good old days of classic GH filled w/memorable entertaining Q moments; damn it, I want and need my Q's back NOW! Thankfully I can still get my Q fix here! Thanks for posting.

Sonny gets alot of blame but I think Carly and Jason deserve so much more for what happenned in the michael situation he came toward the end and finished it but he didn't start that whole nonsense and in the early days he didn't trust carly at all.

I always loved AJ.The writers did his character bad.

For some reason I just cracked up when he said No she’ll settle down before the memorial 😂

Tracy could see Alan's pain when he was taking out on everyone else she could see his pain

Ok I'm in tears watching stuart & jane. I love when she said " if I could bully him through that door I would " she always loved her brother .

It really makes me sick to my stomach to see them sitting there acting as if they actually ever gave a damn in the world about AJ

"Emily always saw the best in him" Lol Total bullshit right there but everything else Alan said I agreed on. They built themselves up for years by tearing AJ down. The only one that really believed in AJ all those years was Monica.

I feel so bad for AJ he got a rod deal and his family did nothing for him they always treated him really bad which I never liked. I’m glad Allan stood up for him and defended him I wish AJ was back I always liked him a lot. And I didn’t like the way Sunny And Carly treated him like a piece of garbage I can never forgive them for that that’s why I don’t like him today

Alan has no right to be indignant considering his blatant favoritism.

Two Power houses that should've had a hell of a lot more time together

Stuart Damaon was amazing as Alan. He dshould have won multiple Emmy Awards.

He's like the proverbial elephant. He never forgives and he NEVER forgets!

how true Alan, but y'all wasn't alone. Jason Carly and sonny was also to blame

Alan was absolutely right!!! They shit all over AJ and didn't care including Alan!!!

MsLuvmusic81 I was gonna say the same! But I still love this scene u miss the Q's and Tracy loved each and every single one if her family members Jason included . She showed it when she told Monica she was sorry about Jason( looked like she was gonna cry),same with emily(she was devastated about that death,she loved her) and here with aj she cried.

Alan spoke the truth. Except for the Emily part. AJ got ruined for Jason, Carly, and Sonny.

0:37 reminds me of the Quartermaine family scene after Lila's death. 07/14/2004 Tracy: Well, would you look at this charming tableau? All of us, gathered here together just like a real family. And all it took was my mother's death. Alan: Tracy, stop and think! Is this tantrum you're about to throw really necessary? Monica: Or appropriate? Tracy: "Appropriate"? To hell with appropriate! Don't you realize that's what's wrong with this picture? This is not a fair representation of what this family really is, which is far from appropriate! I deeply resent the hypocrisy that's on display in my dead mother's name.

Alan knows that all what he said there includes himself……..he was the one that called Jason his perfect son.

I hated the way they treated aj and everyone alan said was right

@EAMSprojects I was thinking the same thing. I can't believe someone flagged you as spam, EAMS. You've always been a Jane fan!

GH's whipping boys are forever and always AJ & Lucky. I've never understood it and I don't like it.

R.I.P. Stuart Damon Jed Allan

Ned still holding old grudges I see

AJ IS BACK!!! 10/26/12!!!

Great scene btw, backtoblondies

Hell Monica is only upset because she knows he ain’t dead lol

I Miss my Q's :-(

Alan was soright about everything....oh wait AJ was actually still alive. And he knew it. 😅

@EAMSprojects me too!!

Ned quartermaine played on 7th Heaven

Monica knew AJ was still alive she’s trying to hide it from the Qs

And Lila, too. Don't forget.

Why was Alan killed off?

Anyone know where the video is of A.J.s "death"?????

Alan wasn't wrong though.

Who put the pillow over ans face?

@VenusMonkey thanks, idk y they flagged me...i didn't even kno....nbd I LOVE JANE!!!

The only quartmaries I could stand and loved was Jason and Emily

It seems wrong that John Ingle isn't playing Edward here.

Michael was with his mother

I mean ajs face?

nope especially when it comes to AJ

Jed Allan great guy but too young to be Edward.

It is strange to look back at this powerful scene filled with grief and guilt only to realize that in a short time they are all going to realize that the guy they are anguishing over has faked his own death, arranged the kidnapping of three children, faked his own son’s death, and brainwashed him to the point where he is psychologically damaged, and tried to murder his father and his brother. Now I know AJ was treated badly by his family. He became an alcoholic in middle school because of an inferiority complex caused by Alan’s inability to love him, and was a full blown screw up by the time he was in high school. From then on it was a vicious circle. Eventually the entire family grew weary of AJ’s screwing up, and they would come down hard on him. But their disapproval was all the punishment he usually had to suffer. After every incident, he would be full of remorse and self pity. He would promise to quit drinking and turn his life around. And for awhile he would, but it never lasted. Because, while he could stop drinking, he could never be the person the family wanted him to be. He wasn’t strong enough or bright enough. And so he would mess up again and when called on it, he would get defensive and self pitying and soon he would be drinking again. He spent his life trying to measure up to the family’s expectations. And in a family of strong, successful, self confident, and self absorbed people, poor AJ never had a chance. But none of that excuses the sick, twisted things he did. Starting with the treatment of Courtney, and the kidnapping of three innocent children to get his revenge. And ending with shooting Alan who was helping him and trying to murder Jason. These were extreme measures for what he felt was done against him. Seriously, was what Jason did any worse than what AJ did to him? And was Cary taking his son, really any worse than what he intended to do to her? AJ was very aware of the things people had done to him, but did not seem to remember what he did to them. And as usual, , when AJ decided to act, it was a total screw up. The interesting thing is that while Jason was the family’s golden boy, after he had his accident, he too, could not measure up to the family’s expectations. Different reasons, but same result. The thing that saved Jason was hie lack of connection to them. He did not feel the need to need to please them or measure up to their expectations. Because of his memory loss and personality shift, to him they were just strangers, The concept of family literally had no meaning for him at that point. Jason recognized early on, that he could never be what or who they wanted him to be. So he left. If he had not, he would have been subjected to the same treatment as AJ. He was more strong minded than AJ, so where AJ caved in, Jason have fought them. And eventually they would have institutionalized him. Where with AJ, the only thing they could do was disown him; with Jason they would have had medical grounds to have him locked up. But he more or less forced them to let him leave on his own terms. But even then,if he had not gone to Sonny, Edward and Alan might still have decided to have him committed “for his own good.” They were certainly capable of it. But they waited too long and Jason got away to build his own life. Flawed as it was, was it any worse than what probably awaited him back at the Quartermaines?

All that nonsense Allan spouting…….he and Monica are responsible for PJ……he was their son and they made him into what he is now…….blaming everyone else is just a cop out…….Sonny didn’t walk into the house and take Michael……PJ let him go to avoid jail time.

Why did they undo skye being a Q. What stupid decision

OMG people he made his choices people have hard lives get over it.

I felt sorry for Lucky because he had a lot of bad breaks. While AJ was treated badly by his family, he made his choices. Just as Jason had to live with his choices so did AJ. The difference was Jason never whined and felt sorry for himself. He accepted what he had made of his life. AJ on the other hand was a whiner who never accepted the responsibility for his actions. In his mind, it was always someone else’s fault, usually Jason’s. Sonny didn’t have rights to Michael, but Carly did. Alan conviently forgets Carly.

This Edward looked like like he could’ve been Alan’s brother. Good actor, bad casting.

Folks seem to forget that AJ has faked his death, leaving his family to grieve for him. The fact that they favored Jason did not mean they did not love him at all. His bitterness and resentment made him hard to love. He has committed terrible acts against innocent children one of them his own son. No amount of pain and hurt feelings for the way he was treated excuses that. Remember AJ told Carly that if the baby was his, he was going to have her declared an unfit mother and take her baby away from her. She believed him and knew that she had no chance against him and the Quartermaine’s wealth and influence. She was desperate and did the only thing she thought she could do. Convince AJ that the baby was not his. Jason felt sorry for her and being influenced by his own experiences with the Quartermaine’s, agreed to help her. I can excuse him. Because of his brain injury, he really did not understand the right or wrong of the situation. It had been just a little over a year since his accident that left him brain damaged. Because he had recovered physically and appeared normal, people forget that he was mentally and emotionally impaired. His lack of memory and his injury had left him disconnected from the childhood experiences and training that help a person determine right from wrong. He had to learn that all over again. Remember how he was always asking, ‘What did I do wrong?” And as Robin explained to Patrick years later, he had an almost schizophrenic ability to be on one hand a good, warm, and loving person especially to those he loved, and on the other hand a cold and ruthless killer. All Jason saw in this case, was a friend who was desperate and in pain and he agreed to help. He himself later admitted he was wrong, but at the time he did what he thought was right. I feel if Jason could forgive AJ for the accident that robbed him of his future, AJ should have been able to forgive Jason for his actions that robbed him of his son. Neither understood at the moment what the impact of their actions would be. Much has been made of the family’s preferring jason to AJ and it was true. They did. But that was not Jason’s fault. He recognized it too, and tried often to change the situation, but he had no chance of doing so, especially with Alan. Alan was the main culprit when it came to the treatment of AJ. He gave him little credit and encouragement. He openly favored Jason and he constantly compared them. He condemned the rest of the family, but he set the tone with his actions. Both Jason and AJ suffered from serious conditions. Jason from cognitive impairment caused by an accident, and AJ from alcoholism caused from an inferiority complex. Both of them were victims of circumstances. But ultimately AJ and Jason both made their own choices. They caused a lot of pain to others, especially to those they loved and those who loved them. Both suffered losses because of the choices they made. Both nearly died from them. And AJ ultimately did. It remains to be seen what Jason’s fate will be. Personally, I am pulling for him.
