When this intro premiered, Felicia and Mac were doing a lot of heavy lifting storywise, and Felicia was solidly a lead character who was front and center in an umbrella storyline, Ryan Chamberlain. I think their placement reflected that for the time. They were both very central and had a slow burn romance going when Riche stabilized the show those few months before Luke and Laura returned.
I don’t think he should ever get his memory back. What I resented and still do not like is they treated his feelings about the Quartermaines at that time as the actual truth, instead of showing Jason more deeply seeing the flaws of his dangerous life with Sonny sooner as he grew and developed. The Jason that woke up was kind of a rebellious teenager. The Jason that existed from the time he claimed Michael onward was a young adult that spent too long defending Sonny when he was clearly worse than the Q’s.
The entire AJ/Carly story should have played out differently. But I am also not a fan of Sonny/Carly in any version, and think the writers focusing so much on them and propping them destroyed the show in a way it never fully recovered from.
To me, the way Jason acted when Alan died (which was a huge mistake anyway), the genuine remorse and things he said should have been a turning point. He had endured AJ being killed, and Sonny’s relationship with Emily, and not long after Michael being shot. The break with Sonny was set up and never fully enacted.
