Guy Love at its best.Monday 12 February 2007, by Anonymous : Don’t forget General Hospital’s Sonny and Jason. They’ve been best friends since 1996, when former "golden boy" Jason Quartermaine suffered serious tree-induced brain damage and became biker bad boy Jason Morgan. Sonny Corinthos, a gangster whose former protoge had recently died of AIDs, took Jason under his wing and put him on the fast track to mob success - from errand boy to hitman to enforcer to co-owner in six years or less. Over the last decade (and some change), the two have shared lovers, a child (Jason was the dad on the birth certificate his brother the dad in terms of DNA, and Sonny the one who won out with the adoption papers), a best friend/love interest, saved one another’s lives, and managed not to run the business into the ground (that’s mostly Jason’s doing). They run everything - from relationship advice to kidnapping plots - past each other before they act, and they continually refer to one another as "brothers." Jason named his "son" (now Sonny’s adopted son) "Michael" after Sonny (that’s his real name). Sonny named his son "Morgan" after Jason. Despite the fact that there is no blood relationship, all of the kids call Jason their uncle and all of the adults recognize him as such, as will be the case with Sonny if (when) Jason has a kid. These two love each other (they even said "I love you" a couple of times) in a platonic way, bicker like an old married couple, come to each other for advice or just for reflection about everything, and have literally taken bullets for one another. If you’re looking for "Guy Love," you’re not going to find a better (albeit melodramatic) example than GH’s Sonny and Jason. Heck, they even had sex with one another’s sisters and still came out best friends! These comments are an anwser to this article : Spike & Angel in "The Clicker Celebrates Guy Love" |
