After the last few episodes of General Hospital, sadly, it’s crystal clear that the Jason Morgan is presumed dead as a result of Steve Burton’s unexpected exit from the daytime drama.
Fans are feeling a slew of emotions, anywhere from disappointment, to sadness, to anger, and even betrayal. But the good news is, Steve Burton reassured fans that he’d love to return to his career on GH if and when the mandate is lifted.
General Hospital rumors began, claiming the role of Jason would be recast. General Hospital comings and goings reports confirm that daytime tv actor, Trevor St. John will be joining the cast of GH. While the role he’ll be playing remains unknown, it’s safe to say that St. John will not be filling Steve Burton’s shoes as Jason Morgan.
According to Variety, General Hospital news reports indicate the executives over at GH have no plans on recasting the role of Jason Morgan, as there wa no comment by GH execs when asked by the news outlet. Fans can rest a little easier now knowing that if the time comes for Steve to return, we most likely won’t have another Billy Miller/Jake Doe/Drew Cain mess on our hands to sort out. The role will be free for Steve to step back into, leaving the door wide open for his potential return.
