JASPER "JAX" JACKS'S HISTORY

Jax came to Port Charles as a corporate raider to aid Lois Ashton in getting her company away from Edward Quartermaine. When Lois introduced him to Brenda Barrett, Jax was intrigued but she only saw him as a way to make Sonny jealous. Jax played along until she finally realized there was no chance of reconciliation for her and Sonny, and she accepted Jax's marriage proposal. Before they could wed, she went back to Sonny.

Sonny left Brenda at the altar and Jax was there with a strong shoulder. Again he proposed, and what should have been a happily-ever-after, turned into disaster when Brenda's mentally ill mother drove her car off a cliff, killing herself and her daughter.

Jax discovered that the company his father founded was built with mob money. His empire crashed and he was left with nothing. Within a short time, he won a large sum of money in Monte Carlo and started to rebuild.

He has had a long string of love interests, including Chloe Morgan, Alexis Davis, whom he wed for a while, Skye Quartermaine, and Brenda Barrett again, when she emerged from the dead. He has fought against the Cassadines, crossed Sonny Corinthos, and tangled with his wife Carly, and has been betrayed on one expensive occasion when Sam McCall, another love interest, gave Luke the infamous 'Dead Man�s Hand' (the five cards held by Wild Bill Hickok during his last game), so that he could open a casino. Still, Jax's fortune grew.

He and Carly's shared ownership of a plush hotel brought them together as more than just business partners. After a stormy start, the two got married. It was a rocky marriage from the start because Jax couldn't accept Carly's constant involvement in Sonny and Jason's business and lives in general. In 2007, he had to leave town to go help his brother Jerry and Carly saw that as a betrayal. Carly eventually came to realize that she loved and needed Jax more than she needed to be involved in Sonny's life, so she tried to commit herself completely to Jax. He was out of town again when she needed him, however in 2008 when Michael was shot. He rusehd back to Port Charles as soon as he could and helped her to grieve for her comatose son. She turned to Sonny and slept with him after delivering their son to a permanent-care hospital. Jax couldn't stand another lie and left her. While separated,he slept with his (Crimson Magazine) business partner, Kate Howard. By 2009, he was ready to admit that his love for Carly was stronger than anything and they renewed their vows and commitment to one another.

Tuesday, February 09 2010: Too Much Damage.

At the penthouse, Morgan overhears Sam say Jax wanted to put Sonny in jail and he wonders if that's true. Jax admits it is, but he did it because he loves him and Michael as much as he loves Josslyn. Morgan doesn’t think their dad would ever hurt them, but Jax reminds him how violent Sonny's world is and how he can't control his enemies. It made Jax sad to go against Morgan's father, but he was sick of the broken promises and he wanted them to be safe. Morgan loves Jax and Dante, but he loves his dad too. Carly comes to Jason's and finds Jax alone. They fight and she tells him Dante called his shooting an accident. Jax asks her to move out of Jason's to a safer place but she won't, so he says he will move out and she can move back home.

Monday, February 08 2010: More Than Biology.

Jax tries to explain things to a furious Michael at home, citing how dangerous Sonny is for the kids. Michael insists Sonny loves them, but Jax wonders how far he would go to make sure his siblings never had to go through what he did. Michael never wants that, but doesn’t agree putting Sonny in jail is the solution. Jax says it's up to the adults to fix things so he shouldn't confess. Jax loves Michael and considers him family. Even if Carly never forgives him, he would do it again if it meant keeping his family safe.

Carly comes to the penthouse with Morgan and Josslyn and tells Jason about Jax. Furious, Jason asks what she wants to do, but she doesn’t know if she should divorce him. She doesn't know if she can do that to Josslyn, but she doesn't think she can live with him either. Jason tells her to take some time to process it and live with it before doing anything rash. She says the hardest part is that she loves him and she knows he loves her too. Later, Carly comes downstairs as Sam holds Josslyn on the couch with Jason. Carly asks if it's okay if Sam stays with the baby while she goes to the hospital to tell Sonny what's going on. Jason has to leave to tie up a few loose ends as well. Sam agrees, but looks nervous after they leave. Morgan comes downstairs and he talks with Sam about how Sonny will feel about him not being mad at Dante. Sam thinks Sonny will understand, as Jax comes to the penthouse and learns Carly is at GH talking to Sonny.
