Jason Quartermaine loses his memory
After returning from boarding school in 1991, brothers Jason and A.J.
Quartermaine had become polar opposites.
While Jason was athletic and popular, A.J.
was deeply troubled and had developed a severe drinking problem, even as a teenager (viaSoap Central).
By 1995, A.J.
(Sean Kanan) had been arrested for drunk driving four different times.
In December 1995, Jason found an intoxicated A.J.
preparing to drive his car once again and tried to stop him.
Unable to keep his brother from getting behind the wheel, Jason jumped into the passenger seat.
Unfortunately, an impaired A.J.
crashed the car into a tree and Jason suffered a severe head injury.
He quickly befriended local mobster Sonny Corinthos who offered him a job in his organization.
Burton admitted that in the time before Jason Quartermaine lost his memory, he was considering leaving the show.
He said, “I got fired up again about acting.
depth of character was what we were working on, so I was really into it.”
It has been a great journey for me as an actor," Burton claimed.
The real Jason eventually came back to town, with his mind and identity intact.
