<P> In June 2017, it was announced that Burton would return to the series in an undisclosed role, later referred to as "Patient 6 ." In November 2017, it was announced that Burton had reprised the role of Jason, while Miller's casting was retconned to the character of Andrew Cain . </P> <P> Steve Burton's early years on the soap as the "rich, wholesome preppy" Jason Quartermaine would come to a shocking, and dramatic end in 1995 after a car accident caused by his brother, A.J. leaves the character as a brain damaged amnesiac . Following Jason's split from the Quartermaines, except for his sister Emily and grandmother Lila Morgan Quartermaine (Anna Lee), and a change of his surname to Morgan, he would become the right - hand man for mob boss, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). At the time, Burton was considering leaving the show and joked that a producer noted that he played every scene, the same way, as if someone was about to die . Burton's decision to stay stemmed from a conversation with Benard who gave him advice on how to improve . While still portraying Jason Quartermaine, the writers saw the chemistry between him and Benard and decided to create Jason Morgan . </P> <P> With a new personality shift, Burton's Jason went from "preppy and wholesome" to "angry, stoic and emotionless ." In the early stages of his transformation into Jason Morgan, he would experience fits of rage and was even given the nickname "anger boy ." Post accident, as Jason matured the fits of rage subsided, Jason was very light and fun during his relationship with Robin Scorpio . It wasn't until after he was hurt multiple times that Jason grew darker and more intense . Jason was seen as "stone cold," and he didn't show much personality, unless it was with his closest loved ones . Despite the drastic change, Burton described his character as "vulnerable, caring, honest, and honorable" around those that he loves . Burton welcomed the change in story for his character, noting that it can sometimes become annoying playing "just plain nice" all the time . Within the mob and despite constant conflicts with law enforcement, Jason operated as a vigilante often taking down criminals who targeted the Corinthos family and tried to bring illegal substances and weapons into Port Charles, New York . Jason was known to show loyalty and compassion to those he held closest to him . His acts of extreme loyalty and compassion could be seen through his friendships with Sonny and Carly, his romantic relationships and his relationship with his nephew Michael, who he raised for the first year of Michael's life . The passing years also saw a thaw in Jason's relationship with the Quartermaines . The death of his father Alan and a shooting that left Michael in a year - long coma opened his eyes to what the Quartermaines suffered after his own accident . For that point on, Jason was shown to be more open to a relationship with his mother Monica, and eventually his grandfather Edward Quartermaine (John Ingle). The extent of the thaw with his family could also be seen through Jason's decision to name his son, Daniel Edward, after his grandfather . </P> <P> Jason was conceived out of his father, Alan Quartermaine's (Stuart Damon), affair with Susan Moore (Gail Ramsey). Jason was born on September 14, 1981 at Our Lady of Mercy Hospital in New York City . When Jason was born, Alan supported him financially, but was fighting for custody of his other son, A.J. . Jason lived with his mother and Scott Baldwin (Kin Shriner) up until her death, upon which he lived with Susan's aunt, Alice Grant (Lieux Dressler). Then he moved into the Quartermaine mansion with Alan . Alan's wife, Monica (Leslie Charleson), initially rejected Jason, but eventually grew to love him and later adopted him . Jason and A.J. were sent off to boarding school as children . In December 1991, Jason was aged several years, re-establishing his birth year as 1974 . </P>
