Keep in mind that Carly and AJ were friends when he got her pregnant. He hadn't done ANYTHING to deserve being drugged, placed in a laundry basket, doused with alcohol, and dumped in an alley unconscious. This was all in Carly's head about what she THOUGHT would happen when he learned she was pregnant.
AJ on the meat hook still irks me to this day. Sonny, Jason and their methods to get what they want or on Carly's behalf make me want to puke. Remember when they had that lady drug Jax, rip her clothes and pretend that he tried to rape her? All to ensure Carly got to keep Joss in the USA.
They are a stellar bunch! 🙄
