You can deny it all that you want but more clues lead to a controversial theory. It seems that every so often soap operas love to play the “Who’s the Daddy? game. Despite Dex’s divulgence of his home life, GH fans speculate that there is a more complex story to be told.
According to recent General Hospital spoilers and rumors, another clue emerges from Jason Morgan’s (Steve Burton) return. Previously, General Hospital Blog shared theories surrounding Dex’s paternity. Specifically about Jason Morgan and Agent John Jagger Cates (Adam Harrington).
The latest article (above) provides a breakdown of clues that lead to a connection between Jason and Dex. Agent John Jagger Cates returned to Port Charles after three decades with Jason secretly in tow. According to GH recaps, Jagger admitted that he still holds a grudge against Jason. However, his beef is with Jason Quartermaine, not Jason Morgan. Back in the day, Jagger, Jason, and Sonny all had something in common… Karen Wexler (Cari Shayne).
Today, Jagger still can’t let the past go. He’s using Jason as his personal puppet by dangling charges against Carly over his head. What does he hate Jason (Quartermaine) so much? Apparently, Jason gets to the bottom of Agent Cates’s motives when he helps Joss protect Dex against Sonny’s wrath.
Is Dex the reason that John Cates has it or for Golden Boy?
Hear me out. On January 4th, General Hospital announced Steve Burton’s long awaited return as Jason Morgan. Co-stars Steve Burton, Kelly Monaco, and Laura Wright surprised fans during GH’s 60th anniversary celebration in Prime Time. From that moment, GH fans couldn’t put down all the possibilities for Jason’s new storyline.
Jagger Isn’t Just Any Old FBI Agent- He Has Ties To Port Charles
Then, on February 6th, GH brings back an iconic character, John Jagger Cates. Adam Harrington debuts as Jagger. The role was previously played by Antonio Sabato Jr. While any old FBI Agent would do, GH decides to bring back a character with history. This storyline involving Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Anna Devane (Finola), Pikeman, and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart), could have sufficed with a random Agent. Instead, they brought back someone who has ties to Port Charles. Specifically Jason Quartermaine/Morgan and Sonny Corinthos.
Jagger’s Got Beef Over Karen, And Jason Can’t RememberA Thing
GH recaps recall that Jagger recently disclosed that his beef isn’t with Jason Morgan. Nope. He admitted that his problem was with Jason Quartermaine, the man Morgan was before the accident. Oddly enough, Agent Cates, aka Jagger, incessantly name drops his and Jason Quartermaine’s ex, Karen Wexler (Cari Shayne). He can’t seem to get over the past.
Like Father, Like Son
Moreover, other clues lead to the latest GH rumors. Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) pointed out the similarities between her mom’s best friend Jason, and Dex, the man Joss loves. Dex and Jason were both loyal to Sonny, and even more loyal to Carly Spencer (Corinthos). They’re both honorable men whose skills come in handy when a life is at stake. Is it a coincidence that Jason and Dex both had a hand in saving Dante’s (Dominic Zamprogna) life? Like Jason, Dex puts his own life on the line like he has nothing to lose. When in reality, they both have a lot to lose.
Overall, the timing of both Jagger and Jason’s return raised questions among fans. The writers could have easily brought a new character to the canvas. Instead, GH chose to utilize a role that has connections to Sonny and Jason, and the rest of PC. In addition, Agent John Cates admitted that he still can’t stand Jason Quartermaine, the man Morgan used to be. Another clue is that Jason confessed that he cannot remember anything from his high school days due to injuries resulting from his and AJ’s (Sean Kanan) car accident.
Dear Old Dad, Scotty Baldwin
General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Jason and Karen had a teen pregnancy. Most likely, Karen hid her pregnancy from Jason and almost everyone in Port Charles. So, how did she pull it off? Well, GH rumors tease that none other than dear old dad helped Karen cover up her pregnancy. Or Karen had a baby, where is the child now? Who is Karen and Jason’s secret child? One possibility has caused major debate among fans. Based on the latest GH rumors, today we know him as Dex Heller (Evan Hofer). Ironically, it just so happens that speculation around Dex’s paternity has been a hot topic among GH fans. GH recaps highlight Dex’s family history. His background seems blurry at best. Previously, we learned that he doesn’t get along with his brother’s. And his overall home life led him to stray from the family. According to GH rumors, Dex was adopted.
All of these clues paired with the fact that Soap Opera love a good “who’s the daddy?” story, leads to a highly possible outcome. Has Jagger’s resentment toward Jason lead him to have this vendetta?
