General Hospital took a surprising turn in the recent episode which aired on February 24, 2025, with spoilers indicating Jason Morgan’s arrest. He is taken in by the Post Charles Police Department for a serious crime. This leaves fans perplexed as well as eager to know the reason behind the same.

So, here is the reason behind Jason’s arrest that was revealed in the latest episode of ABC’s long-running soap opera.

Did Jason get arrested for murder on General Hospital?

Yes, Jason Morgan (played by Steve Burton) gets arrested for murder in the recent episode of General Hospital.

While the Monday episode has many major highlights, the most shocking part is when Jason gets taken by the Port Charles Police Department. He is apprehended for the murder of Cyrus Renault, portrayed by Jeff Kober. Upon the investigation of Cyrus’ place by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard), a detective from PCPD, the duo finds no evidence. Thus, their suspicion regarding Jason’s involvement becomes even more concrete.

Additionally, Chase and Anna stumble upon Jason’s DNA at Cyrus’ place during the investigation. This prompted her to take the step and take him into custody for further interrogation. During the questioning, the atmosphere further gets tense as Jason confesses to making a plan to kill Cyrus. Albeit, he reveals that he didn’t execute it eventually.

Jason openly tells Anna, “I didn’t do it!.” Following his sudden confession, his attorney questions whether someone is trying to falsely frame him for Cyrus’ murder.

As reported by ComingSoon earlier, it has been already revealed in the previous episode that Josslyn is the one who committed the murder. Additionally, Brennan ensures that the crime scene contains no traces of her involvement.

Thus, in the recent episode, Josslyn tries to convince Anna that Jason isn’t the culprit. However, she also has to keep her involvement in Cyrus’ murder a secret, in order to prevent going to jail. This leaves Jason to find a way to prove his innocence before he is imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit.
