Jason's verdict
The verdict in Jason's murder trial comes in this week on GH (you'll have to watch to see what it is), but something happens afterward that makes Lucky reach one of his own where Jason and Elizabeth are concerned.
"The get caught up in the moment," says Steve Burton of Jason and Elizabeth's emotional hug once the verdict is announced. "It ends up being on TV, which probably isn't a good thing - especially for Lucky, since he's the only one watching it," cracks Burton. "That just fuels the fire that Lucky already has toward Jason."
Inflamed, Lucky accuses Elizabeth of having an ongoing affair with Jason, then heads straight for him. "Jason has never really had a problem with Lucky," points out Burton. "Jason tries to tell him, 'Listen, all I've ever done is try to help Elizabeth. Yes, we slept together. It was one night. We didn't plan anything, and nothing happened after that. Since then I have done everything I can do to help her, and for that I'm not going to apologize.'"
He's not going to apologize for Jake either, "Jason's not going to let Lucky stand in the way between him and his son."
Actually, it will be the law, not Lucky, who provides the roadblock. "The trial has reiterated for Jason how dangerous his life is," explains Burton. "It confirms that Jake would be in a lot of danger if he was around Jason."
So, even if he gets off for the murder of Lorenzo Alcazar, "He's definitely paying a price," sighs Burton.

The Buzz
The same thing keeps cropping up again and again for GH's Josh Duhon (Logan): his uncanny resemblance to Kin Shriner (Scott). "I've had people come up and ask me if I am Kin's son. I've had people come up and ask me how many hours of tape I've watched on Kin to get his mannerisms and things down," recounts Duhon, nothing that "I didn't even know Kin before I started the show." According to Duhon, his character's original name was Logan Drake - as in Noah Drake's son. "But that got switched once [the powers-that-be] started watching me onscreen. They realized, 'Wait a minute, this kid looks like Kin. He acts like kin. We've got to make him Scott Baldwin's son.'" And that's how Scotty got a son!
