It turned out that (surprise!)
Jason eventually returned to Port Charles, and he and Liz tried picking up where they left off.
Needless to say, both couples got divorced.

Unsurprisingly, Sam and Lucky cheated on their respective partners, so Jason and Liz had sex.
Jason split with Sam and he and Liz admitted they loved each other.
At one point, Jason proposed again, but quickly called it off due to more mob violence.

In reality, Danny had been swapped with a dead infant.
In 2012, Jason was shot by Cesar Faison (Anders Hove) and presumed dead.
She felt she would always come in second in Jason’s heart.
