Character history

Jason, was the bad boy captain of Sparks football club and he was married to Tanya Turner. Jason was known for his arrogance, short temper, and for his many extra-marital affairs which Tanya knew about, and threatened to leave him over. They renewed their vows having been united through struggle to maintain a secret from Frank Laslett, but Tanya took the opportunity to publicly embarrass him about his sexual activities and not go through with the ceremony. For the remainder of his time on the show he attempts to gain custody of his illegitimate son Paddy Pascoe, whom he conceived with Jackie Pascoe-Webb, however he never realises custody of his child as Chardonnay Lane-Pascoe smashes a wine bottle over his fingers as he hangs off the edge of a tall building in a drunken state, causing him to plummet to his death. After divorce/death of Tanya's subsequent husbands she always reverts back to using his surname.
