- 2-16-05 A Quartermaine death means the requisite family fight. Everyone fights about how AJ was treated when he was alive. This was the first death, which he faked. He would return in a few months and die for real. Phenomenal acting from Stuart Damon and Jane Elliot, particularly.
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.
General hospital 🏥 isn't good anymore 😭🙏🏿🕯️🕯️🕯️🌹🌹 they did a horrible job they didn't even give Stuart Damon a good tribute at all well here your 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌹🌺🌹🌺🌹🌺🌹🌺🌹🌺🌹 we miss you and you will never be forgotten 🌼🕯️🕊️🌼🌼🕯️🕊️🕊️🌼🌷🌷🥀🥀🥀🌹💐💐💐💐
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
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.
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!
Stuart Damon delivered 1 hell of a performance in this scene of that year.
+Kyle Baxter True!!
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.
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 agree completely
You're right, they do deserve the blame and AJ didn't start it or trust Carly.
@@quartermainefamilyjewels6153i still think Michael should've been Tony's. Would've made the court shooting more heart wrenching
Scenes like these... make me miss Stuart even more 😢😢😢
I miss Alan so much!!!
I always loved AJ.The writers did his character bad.
Yes they did. They really did. I liked AJ too.
@@MsTexas73 agree
@@MsTexas73 absolutely
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.
"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.
When it came to the rest of the family, Emily probably was the one who supported AJ the most. Even during the Michael custody battle, she still loved AJ. She just disagreed with him. That was Emily’s strength. She could disagree and even disapprove of someone, but still loved them fiercely.
Cestro, you are so right, I threw up in my mouth a little when Alan said that. All Emily ever did was yell at AJ and tell him Jason should be Michael's father.
Monica was no better than Emily
@@devaughnjohnson true that
Tracy could see Alan's pain when he was taking out on everyone else she could see his pain
For some reason I just cracked up when he said No she’ll settle down before the memorial 😂
Omg ! I read the comment and didn’t get it but it was funny 🤣🤣
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
agree 100%
I felt the same way.
@@crayzeetony4367 of course you would agree😂.....PJ was weak and papa Allan was wrong.....they did not let Sonny Corinthos steal Michael.....PJ gave his son away to avoid jail time.....when you ranting, rant the facking truth Allan.....all of them were responsible for PJ turning out weak, pathetic and lousy.
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
I don’t think they were acting. I think they were all sitting there full of guilt. They had already acknowledged that they had failed AJ. But they were his family and they did love him.
breannamichelle23, AJ was dead to the Qs long before he died.
breannamichelle23 I agree 100%. I would actually be surprised if the Qs were actually capable of guilt.
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 .
Alan has no right to be indignant considering his blatant favoritism.
Preach!
Two Power houses that should've had a hell of a lot more time together
GH's whipping boys are forever and always AJ & Lucky. I've never understood it and I don't like it.
+A Heart For Fiction Some of it was his fault, but AJ was considered second best to Jason. As for Lucky, a little of a whipping boy.
+Kenroy Cherrington AJ as well as Lucky made mistakes but so did everyone else in Port Charles. The difference is, everyone thinks they're superior and can push AJ & Lucky around.
+A Heart For Fiction Well, AJ gets it worse out of the two: Alan and Edward carped at him, and Sonny usually messed him up every time.
+Kenroy Cherrington I'm not trying to compare misery. I just don't like the way the writers abuse AJ & Lucky. Both characters had/have potential to be something better but the writers are lazy.
+A Heart For Fiction Yes, but Lucky is a cop ,though he's been cheated on two times and have addiction, and treated like a hero. WHile AJ, always second to Jason!
how true Alan, but y'all wasn't alone. Jason Carly and sonny was also to blame
That may be true to some extent. But don’t forget, Michael was Carly’s son too. She had just as much right to fight for her son as AJ did. It’samazing how many people forget that. They seem to think if Carly had just told AJ , everything would have just been great. They talk about shared custody like it was a foregone conclusion. But AJ had already proven he would fight just as ruthless and dirty as Carly, Jason, and Sonny. And he started even before Michael was born. And he made it clear that he was not going to share custody.
If he had not made Carly believe he would steal her son from her and cut her out of his life, she might never have gone to Jason for help. She liked AJ, she was prone to believe in him, but he ended that by threatening her. She did not believe she could trust him. And she was right. And we all know that the Quartermaines would have taken Michael from Carly without a qualm, if it had not been for Jason and Sonny. Hell, they tried to take him away from Jason when they still believed Jason was his father. It was only because they were afraid of Jason that they backed off.
If they would try that with Jason, what would they have done to Carly, who was poor and alone with no one to help her? She would not have had a chance in hell. Jason and Sonny were just helping Carly keep her baby. It was not their fault that they were just smarter than he was.
No, I would not feel too sorry for AJ. Just like all his other problems, he was never smart enough solve them.
@@beegee1960 but at the same time if the roles were reversed carly wouldve gotten michael anyway
Delaney Porter What do you mean about things being reversed? Reversed in what way?
@@beegee1960 Thank you Thank you!! I have been saying the samething for years! They act like Carly was just an incubator for Michael an not his mother. She fought for her son in the best way she knew how against a powerful family that used their power to go take her baby away from her( and all this was before they even knew AJ was the father) wasnt it Edward who bribed the Judge and Carly's doctor ti keep her locked up. And when she finally got out how many times did they tell her how they could have her sent back at anytime! And things just go worst when the truth came out and she married AJ. All he did is threaten her. So to me Carly did what she had to do to keep her baby!
AJ was the one that messed up because their was one point when Carly was going to tryn be a family with AJ. It was right after the vacation they took, ( she told Jason that) but as soon she was AJ threatened her.
Aj was a mess and alcoholic way before Carly even came to town so I dont see how people blame her and Jason for his messed up life. Like him having Michael would of changed him somehow! Well he did have the chance and all he did was use him to get in good with Edward to runs ELQ. He bailey played any attention to Michael when he lived with them. Than he kidnapped his own son and brainedwashed him into thinking they only parents he's known didnt love or want him anymore. Than when AJ "died" again , Monica told the whole world that it was Michael who killed him(when she was the one that helped him fake his death). Then when he once again came back from the dead and could have a relationship with Michael he once again used him to run ELQ and turn him against his parents again.
shaquana hyatt agree
Alan spoke the truth. Except for the Emily part. AJ got ruined for Jason, Carly, and Sonny.
True I agree 100%.
He's like the proverbial elephant. He never forgives and he NEVER forgets!
I hated the way they treated aj and everyone alan said was right
yep
Stuart Damaon was amazing as Alan. He dshould have won multiple Emmy Awards.
Alan was absolutely right!!! They shit all over AJ and didn't care including Alan!!!
true
Alan knows that all what he said there includes himself……..he was the one that called Jason his perfect son.
I loved these Quartermaine stories; Loved Stuart Damon. The show did him dirty; blinsided him AND the fans by killing Alan Q off. And as for AJ; one of my all time fav GH characters. Can''t believe Carlivati brought him back and bacause of his and Sean Kanan's behind-the-scenes arguments Carlivati killed AJ off. I say bring AJ back.
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.
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.
Ned still holding old grudges I see
CAM8689 The way Ned treated AJ made me sick
@@breannamichelle23 me too
AJ IS BACK!!! 10/26/12!!!
He’s dead again
R.I.P. Stuart Damon
Jed Allan
@EAMSprojects I was thinking the same thing. I can't believe someone flagged you as spam, EAMS. You've always been a Jane fan!
Hell Monica is only upset because she knows he ain’t dead lol
LMAO! ITA!
I Miss my Q's
:-(
Alan was soright about everything....oh wait AJ was actually still alive. And he knew it. 😅
Great scene btw, backtoblondies
And Lila, too. Don't forget.
Why was Alan killed off?
Monica knew AJ was still alive she’s trying to hide it from the Qs
I know that was the s/l but I will NEVER believe that rewrite. They lost me completely there. Monica was lousy, demanding, and selfish with AJ and you'll never convince me she wanted him alive.
Alan wasn't wrong though.
It his fault too, he treated Aj like shit while he saying Jason is his only son. And he also the reason how both Aj and Jason turn out to be
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.
Hmmm. According to the neurosurgeon who treated Jason after the accident, Jason sustained irreversible damage to his frontal lobe, rendering him physically incapable of feeling emotion, his personality is learned, he mimics what he sees, has an adrenaline imbalance which triggers uncontrollable rage at the slightest provocation yet he cannot experience fear so he can't perceive danger for himself and others, and is mentally incapable of living in society much less raising a child. So it would seem you are giving Jason far too much credit and AJ too little.
Ned quartermaine played on 7th Heaven
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?
The Qs always underestimated AJ, didn't they? He was always calling them out on what they were guilty of and capable of, so they attacked him. He never needed to have the accident to give them an excuse. AJ was never a "full-blown screw-up" until SK took the role back over, but even early SK wasn't that. AJ was better than all of them and they knew it. His mistake was lowering himself to their level to compete and then lowering himself to his brother's criminal level. Oh, and yes, what Jason did WAS worse than what AJ did. Jason thought he was right, didn't he? About Michael, about AJ, about the Qs. A brain-damaged criminal thinks he's right about anything, much less KIDNAPPING his brother's son, and yes, J&C both did that. Keeping a child from its parent is custodial interference, and don't we all know now that that is a crime punishable by law? So Jason thought he was a hero rescuing his brother's child from the Qs when AJ wouldn't have raised his own child in the mansion in the first place. What a hero, protecting a child from all the danger mob life attracts, but wow, bullet-proof glass is the ultimate child-proofing, eh? AJ knew his actions were wrong and did them because he was put in that position, which he would never have bothered or lowered himself to otherwise. AJ was smarter than anyone gave him credit for and he let them slander and belittle him so they would underestimate him. Pretty sure no viewer disagrees with the opinion that the stalking s/l sucked, but here again, using Courtney was a desperate attempt to gain access to his son which should never have been necessary for PC's most eligible bachelor. Not bothering to read the rest of your pity party for Jason since I can hear the violins already. Oh the Qs were never going to institutionalized Jason, that would have embarrassed them since they were all about the optics. If they were going to, they should have done it when Jason kidnapped their grandson, but Jason was childproofed,eh? You seem to like the word screwup. I feel sorry for the people in your life.
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.
But Sonny did take Micheal when he hung AJ on the meat hook and threatened his life with that “AJ Quartermaine Dies” newspaper
@@isaiahhill2104 I know.....I loved it.....the Q's hve simply met their match....PJ didn't want Michael to love him, protect him, nature him those kinds of things....he wanted his bargaining chip....remember it was his threat of taking away Michael from Carly that made he do what she did.....yes she was dead wrong for drugging him but wasn't that her reaction to him threatening to take her son from her as soon as he was born?.....as for Allan.....he should of been ashamed to spew all that crap knowing full well that he and his family created PJ.
@@isaiahhill2104 yes he did

It seems wrong that John Ingle isn't playing Edward here.
Even more wrong when Lila died the year before. Jed Allan was put in a VERY tough position, but GH set it in motion by demoting John Ingle for no reason, allowing him to jump to Days of our Lives.
@EAMSprojects me too!!
The only quartmaries I could stand and loved was Jason and Emily
Jason ain’t even a Quartermaine. He lost that title the moment he turned his livelihood over to Sonny.

@VenusMonkey thanks, idk y they flagged me...i didn't even kno....nbd I LOVE JANE!!!
I mean ajs face?
Michael was with his mother
Anyone know where the video is of A.J.s "death"?????
Did you ever find it? I'm late to the party, but it's on my channel but they only showed what led up to it and then getting the news.
Why did they undo skye being a Q. What stupid decision
Who put the pillow over ans face?
nope especially when it comes to AJ
This Edward looked like like he could’ve been Alan’s brother.
Good actor, bad casting.
They were only months apart in age IRL. RIP to them both.
OMG people he made his choices people have hard lives get over it.
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.
Interesting. Folks seem to forget? I wonder if you mean missed the point, which you seem to have done twice on this clip. AJ didn't fake his death and leave them to grieve for revenge, he did it to have a chance to connect with his son. Their "grief" was collateral damage, and nonexistent to boot, at least what the Qs considered grief to be. Whatever her reasons, Carly was capable of making different choices. You make it sound like she had no other choice, was driven to it, but AJ is villified for the choices he made, so why shouldn't Carly be? OK, did Jason forgive AJ? If he did, great. I'm sure AJ would have been able to forgive Jason too, if AJ wasn't perpetually denied access to his son. Pull for whoever you please, I don't see how or why that would affect anyone else's opinion. You have a familiar comment style. I must have seen it somewhere before.
@@crayzeetony4367 this PJ first attempt at death so all of what you said was crap......he didn't die then to reconnect with his son.....and if you consider kidnapping a realistic way of connecting with ur child then I feel sorry for you.....Allan was the main cause of PJ turning out how he did.....stop ignoring the facts to justify crap.
