Storylines
Jared came to Port Charles on July 5, 2017 after Liesl Obrecht tracked him down. Jared looked for his ex-wife Hayden Barnes and demanded $250,000 to compensate him for going to jail for her crime. Hayden had gotten drunk one night at the country club after an arguement with Jared and drove home in a rage. She had been speeding and didn't see the young girl walking a dog. Hayden had struck the girl, but Jared had agreed to take the fall for the crime in exchange for money from Hayden's father, Raymond Berlin. Jared doubted that Hayden's new fiancé Hamilton Finn would like to learn that Hayden had left a young girl in a wheelchair for life. Hayden embezzled the money from the hospital and transferred it to Jared's account, but the missing money was soon discovered and Finn found out about Hayden's past with Jared. Hayden panicked and fled the country. Jared has an arguement with Finn who is with Curtis Ashford at the time. Jared says he never received his money. Curtis punched Jared and told him to leave town.
