General Hospital: Carly sees Jason's tattoos for the first time

In Friday's episode, dated April 19, Carly had gone to Jason's apartment to ask him to deal with the stove and gas issue. At the time, Jason was wearing a vest and exercising, and she could see his bare arm inked all over with tattoos.

Curious about this change since his return, she asked him why he got inked, as she didn't believe he was ever interested. Jason explained his situation, revealing his loneliness away from his home, family, and her. At that time, he was not in a condition to return home. He decided to have something of his own that he would never be able to leave behind, and getting tattoos on his body would stay with him forever.

Carly responded by accepting that the tattoos look good on him and that she likes them.
