It’s undeniable that die hard Jason and Sam Morgan, (Kelly Monaco) aka JaSam fans, aren’t too happy about, 1) his upcoming marriage to Carly, and more importantly, 2) his feelings for Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud). As history tells it’s story, fan wars over who Jason Morgan gives his heart to has always been a heated battle. Back in the day, fans were on either side of Jason and Sam (JaSam) and Jason and Liz (Rebecca Herbst), (Liason). General Hospital message boards and forums across the internet would explode with fans arguing over their favorite couple. The arguments would get ruthless, and many times, the Soapnet message boards would be shut down for the day by moderators.
General Hospital spoilers reveal there’s a new battle to be fought. This time between Jason and Sam fans vs. Jason and Britt (Brason) fans.
In his recent interview, Burton disclosed his feelings on the bashing his co-stars, Kelly Monaco and Kelly Thiebaud are currently enduring from GH “fans” who are on either side of the war for Jason’s heart. He said, “I get it. I’ve watched shows before where I’ve been upset, okay?” Burton said in an interview with Soap Opera Digest. “So I understand that people get upset over things, for sure. The thing that I don’t condone or like is that people were attacking both Kellys.”
He added, “I’m not on social that much anymore, but I saw some bad things being said about Kelly Monaco, and some bad things about Kelly Thiebaud, and that’s when I check out. That’s when I’m like, ‘Okay, I’m not even going to engage or read this stuff.’ It is two real human beings that can be affected by those comments, you know?”
Steve is also empathetic to the situation. He disclosed that he too get emotionally invested in the characters and relationships of the shows he watches. He said, “My wife and I watched something on Netflix and something happened and I went, “This is the stupidest show I’ve ever seen! I’m not watching this! I can’t believe they would do something this dumb!” He revealed, “I was so invested that by that point, I go, “I get why people get upset!”… But then we finished it! You kind of settle down and go, ‘It’s a TV show. Get back to the freakin’ TV and watch the rest of it.”
When it’s all said and done, Steve revealed that the actors do not have “We are just doing our job, doing the best we can to tell the story that’s written, the writers, Chris and Dan, aren’t calling us going, “Hey, what do you think about this?”
PSA to our fans from us at General Hospital Blog: Please do not bash the actors just because things in the storyline aren’t going your way. At the end of the day, IT’S A TV SHOW! It’s not worth hurting those who portray these characters. They are human beings with feelings and actually spend time reading feedback online. If you’re a true fan, be a fan, not a hater.
Steve Burton has portrayed the iconic right hand man, Jason Morgan, for 25 years. Jason has developed loyal bonds with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright), Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco), Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst), and many others over the years. But his friendship with Sonny and Carly is legendary.
General Hospital news reports reveal Burton has addressed some pressing topics in an interview with Soap Opera Digest.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Burton elaborated on his feelings about Jason and Carly’s upcoming nuptials. Jason marrying Sonny’s wife is a touchy subject for most. GH fans aren’t crazy about the idea, knowing that Sonny is actually still alive. Regarding the fans, he admits that they “don’t really get it,” but clears the air with his statement. Burton discloses, “Look, what Laura and I care about is that we’ve had some amazing scenes. That’s what it comes down to for us,” the actor notes. “The overall story, if it works, awesome, but we’re finding something new for us, which we’ve never had, being on the show this long. That’s what’s intriguing to actors. And that’s what I think a lot of fans don’t really get, is that this is new for us, and this is cool for us because as actors we get to explore and do new things with new people and have new scenes and it’s pretty exciting.”
The story of Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) and Jason’s romance died before it even got a chance to take off. When touching on his thoughts on the possibility of Jason and Britt, Burton reveals, “Jason and Britt are interested in each other, so that’s the wrench in the works, right? They’re interested in each other but then the business side of things comes into play. I think it works perfectly; it’s like a perfect storm of [a marriage] having to happen.” Jason wanted things to work out with Britt, and he genuinely cares for her. But right now his loyalties lie with Carly and the family business. Many fans aren’t happy with that. Fans want to me wow by Jason couldn’t just tell Britt the truth about what’s going on, and Steve Burton have his explanation. “A lot of Mafia guys had their affairs on the side, so anything’s possible, but right now, Jason’s doing it by the book, right? It just doesn’t behoove him, in a power transition like this, in a power struggle where there’s violence and all these things happening, to sneak around.” Burton continues, “There is one thing here to accomplish, and that’s the goal of showing a united front with Jason and Carly; this is the best way to do it. Gotta cut the thing off with Britt and move forward for the family. That’s the mentality. And we are on a soap opera, so please forgive me!”
