@43cdc In the suit is Edward Q (John Ingle left for a while, Jed Allan took over the role). In the jean jacket is Lois. In the black shirt is Ned Ashton. Ned & Lois are Brook Lynn's parents. The guy (teen) sitting by Tracy is Dillon Q. Ned & Dillon are Tracy's sons. The blonde who walks in at 1:03 is Courtney, she's Mike Corbin's daughter; Sonny's sister; Spencer's mother; ex-wife of Jason, AJ, Jax. Courtney died in '06, Ned & Lois live in Europe, Dillon is a filmmaker living out of town.
I got really tired of watching women raise their hand to AJ as if it is ever appropriate, and Courtney did that more than once. Completely uncalled for, oh she was provoked. Please.
AJ "died" twice in 2005. This was the first time when he faked his death on his own. All of the Quartermaines, including Monica, thought he was really dead. He showed up again shortly after which is when Monica helped him fake his death.
@Soccerooss John Ingle who took over the role of Edward from David Lewis in 1993, left GH and joined Days of our Lives in 2004. Jed Allan played the role until Ingle returned in 2006.
General Hospital just inconveniently forgot about the scene where Alan identified Aj's body (now that he is back in recent episodes.) What? Did Monica give AJ a dose of that "death drug" that slows down your respiratory and body functions while Allan identified him? Lots of flaws about bringing AJ back. Shame on you GH writers! Shame! LOL
I think AJ got a rod deal he was a good person but they always made him look bad which I didn’t like I like the AJ that came back I think he’s a cousin of Steve Burton’s and he was the original AJ if I recall from seeing in the TH-cam videos
I agree. So what if SK looks like SB, who cares? Jason isn't Monica's bio son and Jason's bio mother had black hair like Alan. BW resembled Alan, like AJ should have, because there was no longer a question about AJ's paternity.
I don’t really understand how people keep saying that the writers somehow changed AJ from this great guy into a villain. If you go back and watch the earlier clips of AJ, nothing they have him do is really out of character. In the very first adult Jason appearance, AJ greets Jason who has just come back from boarding school by calling him a bastard. He rolls his eyes at everyone’s effusive greetings to Jason. His resentment and jealousy of Jason are apparent. throughout the years. He talks to a friend on the phone about how to fool your parents. Kid stuff yes, but AJ is no longer a kid. He admits he began drinking seriously when he was 12. AJ goes from kid stuff to more serious things like hiring an arsonist to burn down the coffee warehouse, hiring someone to stalk his own wife, placing cameras to secretly film her. and generally terrorizing her. Eventually he kidnapped Michael, brainwashing him into believing that Carly and Sonny abandoned him. His actions traumatized Michael. He shot his own father, who had helped him, in the back and tried to murder Jason. Few people are all good or all bad. And AJ is no exception. At times he shows a love for his family, especially Jason, but he allows the “bad” side to eventually control him. The writers did not depart from AJ’s original character, they simply continued the deterioration that began in his earliest appearances. AJ was a detestable jerk who would have destroyed himself years ago had it not been for the Quartermaine name, influence, and money. His upbringing was horrible but it was his own choices that destroyed him. Just as It was the accident that changed Jason, but it was his own choices that set him on his currant path. If the writers deterred from a character’s early portrayal, it was Jason’s, not AJ’s. He went from Mr. Nice Guy to a career criminal and killer. That was not just a departure from his original path, it was a 180 degree turn. AJ simply continued down his original path of self destruction. And through it all, there are hints that he has participated in unethical and illegal behavior particularly when he was in charge of ELQ. No, AJ’s character development has been very consistent.
BW didn't play AJ as a detestable jerk, that was SK. So no, it was not a continuation of the few character crumbs they threw SK since he didn't have the range BW did. BW humanized AJ, after AJ had a complete psychic change in the fellowship of AA. So thanks for the recap, but you skipped over everything that showed AJ's growth into the great guy who was scapegoated by S&C&J and the Qs. AJ was pushed back onto his original path of self-destruction. He stepped off that path more than once and often enough to redeem him. Oh, I would agree that AJ's character development has been very consistent. He was consistently villainized into a whipping boy. Even the worst soap opera monsters were not attacked and slandered as AJ was. So maybe you should go back and watch those earlier scenes you refer to. My guess is, you didn't watch the ones you should have, and if you don't understand the terms I've used here, try Google.

aj wouldn't have been so horrible of people gave him a break and treated as a human being
truth!
How many breaks did AJ need he came from a privileged family who gave him lots of opportunities to succeed but he kept messing up.
@@daisyflower40 AJ deserved to know that Michael was his child.
@@daisyflower40 BS. What breaks? Succeed at what?
@@teamtony4623agreed. Because if what happened with Monica and Rick, AJ had no hope
LOve it "impulse control " issues Tracy is just great. She summarizes it succinctly.

@@crayzeetony4367 So did I.

ha ha. Loved how Tracy just told off Courtney there.
yiss this^

Dillon is so right.
I agree
I agree. Guza was intent on making AJ a complete loser. I liked him and Courtney until the writers ruined with that stupid stalking his own wife crap.
ikr? So did I.
Ok really, the writers villainized him before this anyway, and that was bad too.
true
My goodness, how many times is AJ going to come back from the dead? The interesting thing is both times he "died", someone always saw the dead body.
GO TRACY...TELL IT!!!
yep
General Hospital just inconveniently forgot about the scene where Alan identified Aj's body (now that he is back in recent episodes.) What? Did Monica give AJ a dose of that "death drug" that slows down your respiratory and body functions while Allan identified him? Lots of flaws about bringing AJ back. Shame on you GH writers! Shame! LOL
That is true! However Monica does say in AJ’s return , she faked an autopsy
This is the first time AJ died…before he was killed in the hospital. AJ faked this death himself
I think AJ got a rod deal he was a good person but they always made him look bad which I didn’t like I like the AJ that came back I think he’s a cousin of Steve Burton’s and he was the original AJ if I recall from seeing in the TH-cam videos

Where's Monica??
She was upstairs and very upset
Yes this was his first death the one he faked
Why did they temporarily recast Edward Quartermaine, because now the original Edward is back?
@goblz I agree 100%
I have never felt that Michael was AJ’s son. There is n
Paternity is not based upon your feelings.
who's body is sence he was still alive after this
Being nostalgic at the end of 2020: bring AJ's long lost son to PC. His mom should be Jason's GF before he became a gangster.
OK, I'll bite. The mother would be Keisha.
@@quartermainefamilyjewels6153 Keesha Ward, I think was Jason's 1st real GF.
@@Chele_B_Review She was.
