The TRUTH About Why Steve Burton Left General Hospital

The last few weeks have been crazy with the announcement of Billy Miller (ex Y&R star), coming to General Hospital. It has been rumored for months that Miller would replace Steve Burton as the legendary mob enforcer, Jason Morgan.

In a recent interview with TV Guide’s Michael Logan, Steve Burton wanted to set the record straight and let everything know why he left General Hospital. He said that money was definitely an issue, and when it was time for Burton’s contract to be up, executives over at General Hospital were not willing to negotiate. Burton said to Logan, “What you and I both know – that ‘GH’ didn’t make a deal with me. And that’s the truth. My contract was up and they didn’t want to play ball and make it work. At the time, I didn’t want to throw anyone under the bus over there but of course, as soon as it was announced I was going to “Y&R,” people thought the whole thing was planned by Jill on Day 1, which it was not.” Steve Burton stated that he did not necessarily want to leave his 20 year role of Jason Morgan and that GH had the opportunity to bring him back. That being said, he wants fans to know that going to The Young and the Restless was not a set up between himself and Jill Farren Phelps. Burton did what was best for himself and for his family at that time.

Steve Burton is now happy over at The Young and the Restless although sad that things didn’t work out for him over at General Hospital. It has been said that the door is always open for Burton at GH, but for now he will be staying at Y&R as Dylan.

Victor Cassadine Returns! Who Will He Bring With Him?

Actor Thaao Penghlis who plays Victor Cassadine on General Hospital will be returning to Port Charles. He was recently in town to blackmail Robin Scorpio Drake into helping his fellow Cassadines come “back to life.” Stavros Cassadine are frozen in a facility… the same facility where Victor told Robin her dear friend Jason was being held. With his body being in the same state as the Cassadine clan, Victor presented Robin with the option of saving Jason’s life as well as helping Stavros. Robin thought Jason Morgan was dead, so of course this all came as a shock to her. Robin agreed to leave with Victor even though she had just been reunited with her family after being help captive.

Who will Victor bring with him to Port Charles this time around? There must be a purpose for his return. Therefore, does this mean Robin did her job and she can come home to her family? Maybe Robin AND Jason will be returning to Port Charles and shock the town.

When Kimberly McCullough left GH, she stated that she wanted her role to be left open so that she can return. She was working on another project but said she would be happy to return to General Hospital when she was done. With the recent news involving cast confirmation of Billy Miller to GH, this all could mean that BOTH characters will be due to return.

Comment below and let us know what you think! Is it time for Robin and Jason to return to their families?

General Hospital Explosive! Who is Going to Die?

There is a shoot out and someone gets hit! But who is going to die? GH magazines and internet posts a like warn fans that a beloved character will take the fall. But who will it be? Sonny? Luke? Ric? Julian?

One theory is that Anna finds out that Ric has been framed and the entire showdown is a set up. It’s been rumored that Ric will be the one to die. But will he actually be dead? Speculations say that Anna will help Ric to fake his death in an attempt to find out who the real mob boss is. Not everyone is left in the dark, Sonny is also in on this. Rumors have been circulating that Sonny will actually help his brother Ric who was once an enemy.

Another theory is that Luke will be the one to die, but since he isn’t really Luke at this time, (we like to call him Fluke), that the impostor will die but the real Luke Spencer is still alive at Miscavige.

Let us know who you think will be the one to take the hit by sharing and commenting below.

Steve Burton Not Thrilled About ‘Jason Morgan’ Recast

There has been a lot of talk in the last couple of months that the role of Jason Morgan will be recast in the near future. Recently fans have learned that Jason is not actually dead but he is frozen along with some Cassadines. Victor Cassadine has called upon one of Jason’s oldest and best friends, Robin Scorpio to help him help Helena and Stavros (who are in the same predicament as poor Jason). Robin agreed to help in order to save Jason.

With Robin off to God knows where with Victor Cassadine working on saving her friend, the fans are wondering what is going to happen with the role of Jason Morgan. Will he be recast? Will Steve Burton reprise the role? Last month Steve Burton announced on Twitter that he is staying put at The Young and the Restless.

It has been rumored that ex Y & R star, Billy Miller would the the first choice to take on the role of Jason. Although Steve Burton isn’t thrilled about some else filling his shoes as the iconic mob enforcer, he did make a statement regarding Billy Miller. Burton recently told Soaps in Depth, “When all that talk was going on, I said to myself ‘Billy would be perfect.’ It’s a character I played for a long time, and I have a huge emotional connection to him and the people there. It’d be weird to see, but they have to do what they have to do. I understand that.”

Now that we have Steve’s blessing to recast Jason with actor Billy Miller, what do the fans think about this potential recast?

General Hospital Casting Call

The Executives over at GH have put out a casting call for a new female character. Although the description of the new role sounds a lot like Sabrina Santiago (actress, Teresa Castillo), we have been assured that this is not to replace the actress.

Teresa Castillo is out on maternity leave but they will not be replacing the actress, however there may be a temporary recast for Sabrina while Castillo is away on leave.

They are looking for an actress to play the role of a young woman who is from Mexico (Sabrina is from Puerto Rico), and wants to build a foundation in Port Charles with a medical career.

What ties will the new young lady have with the current residents of Port Charles? Will she butt heads with Sabrina or become her BFF?

Let us know what you think about the new character announcement by leaving a comment below.

What is Wrong with Luke?

Everyone wants to know, What the heck is going on with Luke? Something is seriously off about the already eccentric and quirky Lucas Lorenzo Spencer. Lately he is acting beyond bazaar, even for him. He has Tracy’s wheels turning, trying to figure out what has happened to him. Ever since he got back from the Miscavige Institute, he has been behaving in a manner that the people of Port Charles and we the fans have never seen before.

The most disturbing behavior we saw from Luke’s character was when he started snorting cocaine. He and Julian have it out for Sonny and plan to sabotage his coffee shipment with illegal drugs. Since this was such an extreme act for this character, what do you think is really going on with Luke?

Here are some theories that have been thrown out there by fans:

Luke was injected with drugs by the Cassadines

Luke is not really Luke and someone is wearing a Luke “mask”

Luke has been brainwashed.

Sarah Joy Brown, Tamara Braun, and the current Carly, Laura Wright, have all done an amazing job as Carly. General Hospital Blog looks forward to seeing what the producers at General Hospital have in store for the fans.
