Jason and his two sisters,
left Michelle and right Jenean. Jason and Jenean still live
at home and are the best of friends. It's hard to find one
of them and not the other. Did you know that Jason is an
uncle to almost half a dozen youngsters?

charity events. Jason played in the Days basketball game at

Jason and Kirsten graced their
second soap opera cover together. "Although just teens,
Shawn {Jason} and Belle {Kirsten} have enough chemistry to
become one of DAYS best supercouples!" Even though they have
the chemistry don't look for TPTB to put these two together.
According to Tom Langan {Head writer} "We have years of
story to tell. To pair them as the next Bo and Hope
prematurely would be a big mistake. So we will see lots of
maturing for Belle and Shawn over the course of time."

Some quotes from Jason on
Belle and Shawn, "Shawn is overwhelmed," with his dad
missing and the plane crash. Shawn reached for Belle's hand
in his time of need. "It was like he was hit by a truck, he
is lying on the pavement and reaches out for someone."
"Shawn sort of has this thing for Belle, but he doesn't even
know it." "Their friendship is up and down because there are
so many circumstances affecting him."

Jason and Kirsten shared
different views about the plane crash. For Jason, the plane
crash was "the most fun I've had so far! Peter {Reckell,
Bo}, Drake {Hogestyn, John}, and I had so much fun doing the
'boy stuff.' It was cool!" {photography

Jason has changed Shawn into a
much more clean cut kid than he was when he first returned
to the show. Part of that is Jason's personality. He says
about himself, "I'm more of a clean cut non-rebel."

After everyone found out that
Mimi was homeless, Shawn put her brother Connor on his
shoulder to carry him to the hospital.
