General Hospital Spoilers: Steve Burton Reprises His Role, Explains His “Easy” Decision

Steve Burton reprises his role

Steve Burton reprises his role. Daytime TV icon, Steve Burton is best known for his good-hearted, bad boy role on ABC’s General Hospital. Jason Morgan became one of the most popular characters in television. His friendship and brotherhood with GH’s leading man, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), created a powerful fan following.

Sadly, Burton’s reign as the legendary Jason Morgan ended in November of 2021. His personal beliefs were not in alignment with certain mandates Disney and ABC required to continue employment. Unfortunately, Steve left GH after nearly 3 decades.

Thankfully, Steve’s fans don’t have to go too far in order to find him on-screen. After Steve departed General Hospital, Beyond Salem producers reached out to Burton. He was asked to hop on board and reprise his role as Harris Michaels in Beyond Salem’s second season.

Steve Burton reprises his role

General Hospital news reports reveal Burton’s next career move. According to Soaps In Depth, Steve explained his thought process when it comes to accepting Beyond Salem’s offer. He said, “It was kind of like, “We already have an idea for 3. Could you come back to Days and maybe finish that arc?’ “That’s how it led into the story coming to DAYS. It’s a continuation of BEYOND SALEM.” Burton explained, “I don’t want to say it was an easy decision,” he admitted. “With BEYOND SALEM, it was an easy decision because it was a limited run.

“And I had such a great experience there with the people I worked with and the producers. When they brought [returning] up, I was way more open to it than I probably would have been prior,” he went on, “because I have businesses I’m growing that are doing well. I’m doing what I love to do, coaching people. And I’ve got my kids. So my life was great, I have all this stuff going on. But I do love to act and how this came about was great. So I was like, ‘Yeah, sure. I’ll come back.’ When you’re in the business 36 years and people are still calling? I’m super-grateful.”

GH fans continue to hold out hope for Steve’s return as Jason. But for now, watching him anywhere is better than nowhere!

General Hospital: Valentin Sits Vigil at Anna’s Side- Will Valentin’s Love Save Anna?

Valentin’s love saves Anna

Valentin’s love saves Anna! Is it possible to will someone else back to life? I believe so. When the connection is so strong, it’s like the two people can sense each other’s presence. The song that immediately comes to mind when I think of Valentin and Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) current storyline is, “Open Your Eyes,” by Snow Patrol. After years of chasing, Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) finally got the girl.

After tragedy struck, Vanna fans worry that Anna’s adventurous life finally got the best of her. Meanwhile, General Hospital spoilers and previews indicate that Valentin continues to sit vigil at Anna’s side. Her current critical condition resulted when Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) pulled the trigger. Naturally, Valentin blames himself for his father’s actions.

The damage was done and now Anna’s life hangs in the balance. According to recent General Hospital previews, Anna remains unconscious as she fights for her life. However, GH rumors hint that Vanna get a happy ending. Presumably, Anna opens her eyes! It looks like Valentin wills Anna back to life! After all they’ve been through, Valentin’s love saves Anna.

Accordingly, General Hospital comings and goings and other GH casting news has not made mention that Finola Hughes will exit General Hospital. Therefore, it’s highly unlikely that Anna Devane will die as a result of Victor’s insanity. It’s safe to say Anna and Valentin still have a chance at romance.

General Hospital Spoilers: Who Has Nikolas Cassadine?!

Who has Nikolas Cassadine Selina Wu Helena Wu Victor Cassadine

Who has Nikolas Cassadine?! For starters, we know he’s alive. We also know that Mason Gatlin (Nathanyael Grey) took Nikolas from a locked room at Wyndemere. Furthermore, Mason is Austin Holt’s (Roger Howarth) cousin. He continues to threaten Austin, telling him that their boss needs him to do what he’s supposed to do. What who’s the boss? What is Austin’s purpose in the whole operation?

With that, we can suspect that Austin is indeed involved in some majorly shady business. As GH recaps recall, Austin wants out. His refusal to partake in, and carryout orders left Mason with no other option but to threaten his cousin. Still, Austin refuses. Now, Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) and her kids, Georgie and James, are at risk.

General Hospital spoilers reveal Victor Cassadine’s (Charles Shaughnessy) plan to unite the Cassadines is so much bigger than that. He plans to gather his family for a purpose. In his mind, recruiting every worthy Cassadine helps better reach his endgame. GH rumors claim that by kidnapping Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati), Victor plans to use her medical expertise to help keep Nikolas alive.

Who Has Nikolas Cassadine?!

As we know, Nikolas Cassadine is alive. Apparently, Mason followed orders from his and Austin’s mystery boss. According to General Hospital rumors, the unknown boss is a woman. Also, since recent General Hospital news and spoilers confirm Helena’s return, we can’t help but wonder something… Is Helena their secret lady boss?

It makes sense that Helena, the Queen of Cassadine wrath, would continue her quest to reek havoc on Port Charles. Specifically the Spencer family. If she’s pulling the strings, Nikolas could be her prisoner.

Moreover, some GH rumors speculate that Selina Wu’s (Lydia Look) reach is a lot larger than illegal poker games at The Savoy. She slipped Victor a drug which made him experience difficulties with his manhood as a favor to Holly Sutton. But, what if she has her own reasons for wanting to see Victor go down? Once he’s out of the picture, Selina could slide right in as the next PC villain.

Does Selina plan to take over after Victor sets sail into oblivion? Will she need Nikolas alive to carryout her plans- or, is she working entirely alone?

General Hospital Spoilers: Trina Learns Her Way Around The Haunted Star To Help Spencer And Ace

Trina rescues Spencer and Ace

Trina rescues Spencer and Ace?! Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) could sense there was something wrong when Spencer’s conversation with Victor seemed suspicious. She became concerned when he abruptly left her after the call.

As it turns out, Trina’s instincts were spot on. Something is definitely wrong. Predictably, Victor roped Spencer into a scheme under false pretenses. According to General Hospital recaps, Spencer trusted Uncle Victor to help him with baby Ace. The thought of Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) raising his baby brother doesn’t appeal to him. It’s unfathomable for Spencer to image his father and Esme are Ace’s parents. But allegedly, those are the fact. Since Spencer and Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) weren’t seeing eye to eye, Spencer didn’t agree with his father’s parenting skills. And in Nik’s absence, Spencer planned to acquire custody of Ace.

Trina rescues Spencer and Ace?

General Hospital spoilers reveal Spencer is caught in Victor’s trap. He was duped into thinking his uncle would help him keep Esme away from her baby. However, he never imagined they’d both become prisoners aboard the Haunted Star.

Meanwhile, Trina is learning her way around the ship. She understands just how crazy Victor has become. As a result, Trina is ready to do what it takes to help save Spencer and Ace. Thankfully, she won’t have to go it alone.

General Hospital Spoilers: Laura Updates Esme On Baby Ace, The Fight To Save Him From Victor Begins!

Laura updates Esme on Ace’s kidnapping Victor’s bodyguard kidnapped Ace

Laura updates Esme on Ace. Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) is no stranger to the Cassadine craziness. Things were sort of peaceful for a while other than drama within the family. Although Laura is no Cassadine, her son Nikolas, grandson Spencer, and great grandson Ace certainly are!

Laura and Luke Spencer (Tony Geary) had been Helena Cassadine’s targets for years. The waters calmed down for a while after Helena’s death. But, she’s never really been free from looking over her shoulder. Everywhere she turns, there is always some Cassadine ready to make their next move. And as if Laura hadn’t had enough drama of her own from the Cassadine’s over the years, it’s never ended since she has lifelong ties to her rival family. Victor Cassadine’s (Charles Shaughnessy) obsession with uniting his entire family is his attempt at completely Cassadine control. Unfortunately, Laura’s right in the middle because of Nikolas, Spencer, and Ace.

General Hospital spoilers reveal Laura continues to help Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) in the best way she knows how, given the circumstances. GH previews indicate that Laura learns more about Ace’s kidnapping. Esme was under the impression that Nikolas kidnapped her baby since he’s allegedly Ace’s father. However, that’s not the case. Laura updates Esme on Ace when she pays her a hospital visit.

Will Esme continue to trust Laura?

General Hospital News And Spoilers: BREAKING! Charles Shaughnessy OFF Contract, Will Victor Meet His Demise?

Charles Shaughnessy OFF Contract Victor Cassadine

General Hospital’s Charles Shaughnessy OFF contract. Port Charles has seen its fair share of villains over the years. Since the early 1990s, trouble plagued the people of Port Charles when the mob families went to war. But prior to the modern day danger that Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and his organization bring, the Cassadine’s were the biggest threat.

According to General Hospital spoilers, Victor Cassadine’s agenda becomes much larger than anticipated. Initially, Victor’s main goal was to unite the entire Cassadine family. He’s a firm believer in the concept that there’s power in numbers. So, the more family members he can convince into his way of life, the more powerful they become as a united front.

GH recaps recall that Victor came to Port Charles on a quest to recruit Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) and young Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez). His attempt to unite the family began with his nephews. Victor was sure they’d see things his way. But their daily lives and significant others got in the way of his plan.

He gave up on Nikolas after his nephew’s poor choices went against Victor’s expectations. Now, his main focus is on Nikolas’s son Spencer. Despite warnings, Spencer looks up to Uncle Victor. He put his trust in him and believed he could help save his baby brother. Victor’s fixation is strong because baby Ace is a Cassadine heir. His mother, Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) is a dangerous criminal. She lied to and tortured Spencer and his family. But when she turned up pregnant with amnesia, she became a bigger threat than ever before. Allegedly, Nikolas is Ace’s father. However, some General Hospital rumors claim it will turn out that Spencer is Ace’s father. Therefore, Victor’s fixation on Esme’s baby is strong. He’s not going to give up without a fight.

Charles Shaughnessy OFF Contract!

General Hospital spoilers tease Port Charles is in an uproar after Victor’s body guard broke into Laura’s home and kidnapped Ace. Consequently, Laura came home to find Esme was knocked unconscious. Meanwhile, Spencer followed Victor’s instructions which he believed to be a reasonable plan. At the end of the day, Spencer’s main concern was his baby brother Ace. He wanted his uncle’s help to keep Esme from her baby.

GH spoilers suggest Victor’s big showdown leads to his exit. According to the latest General Hospital comings and goings reports, Charles Shaughnessy is OFF contract with ABC’s General Hospital. His exit ties into his current hostile takeover on the Haunted Star. Who will survive?

Willow is near death. Victor Cassedine’s (Charles Shaughnessy) plot to acquire, complete Cassadine control is coming along more successfully than he even imagined.

General Hospital recaps recall, all was going according to schedule for Willow and Nina’s procedures. Then, Liesl vanished from the vanishing cabinet. Maxie exhausted every possibility of her whereabouts with no clues. After Maxie broke the news to Nina, Nina immediately alerted Sonny.

Meanwhile, Victor is busy plotting his escape with his nephew Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) and the new Cassadine heir. According to General Hospital rumors, Victor is closer to his endgame. Uniting the Cassadine family to acquire sovereignty is the reason Victor lives and breathes.

General Hospital Spoilers: The Pressure Is On! Liesl Must Save Another Life Before She Can Save Willow, Victor Has Her Right Where He Wants Her

Victor kidnapped Liesl to save Nikolas

Victor kidnapped Liesl to save Nikolas?! So far, even if things aren’t going exactly according to plan, Victor seems to have exactly what he wants. After being presumed dead, Victor found Anna and his son Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) alive. Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) may not survive, his nephew Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez), and baby Ace are about to drift away to a life of Cassadine corruption.

Moreover, Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) flexes by showing Port Charles he isn’t to be underestimated. Particularly, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and the Spencer’s, and Anna Devane (Finola Hughes). Recent General Hospital recaps recall Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) is missing. Frantic, Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) buzzes around backstage to find help. Once Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) learned that her Aunt Liesl is missing, she went straight to Sonny.

Liesl Must Save Nikolas Before She Can Save Willow?

Why would anyone kidnap Liesl? Here’s why we think… Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma/Adam Huss) is barely alive, at an undisclosed location. We know that Mason Gatlin (Nathanyael Grey) called upon his cousin Austin Gatlin Holt (Roger Howarth) when Nikolas went missing from Wyndemere. Furthermore, the fact that Mason and Austin answer to a mystery boss leads us to believe Victor is pulling the strings. Victor is obsessed with the Cassadine’s. According to General Hospital rumors, Victor took Nikolas from the locked room. If that’s true, the possibility that Victor kidnapped Liesl to save Nikolas explains why she’s missing.

In addition, Willow Tait’s (Katelyn MacMullen) family is in a panic over Liesl’s disappearance. Her bone marrow transplant surgery is scheduled the day after the Nurses Ball. As time ticks on and on, the pressure to find Liesl intensifies. GH spoilers and rumors tease she could be on the Haunted Star with Victor and Spencer. Dr. Obrecht is a very skilled doctor who has assisted in many off the record medical procedures and experiments.

Sonny’s involvement in finding Liesl ties together another one of Victor’s motives. The fact that Liesl is Willow Tait’s lifeline gives Victor leverage. Knowing that Willow’s life depends on Liesl, Victor has Sonny and his family at his mercy.
