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.

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 News And Spoilers: Why Steve Won’t Do Interviews, Steve Burton And Bradford Anderson Reveal Their Opposing Beliefs, Doors Open For Steve, And Much More!

The soap opera world is mourning what many consider to be a legendary, fan-favorite character, on General Hospital.

When General Hospital news came out with confirmation of Steve Burton’s exit from GH as Jason Morgan, fans began to express their feelings surrounding the nature of his exit. Burton chose to not receive the Covid vaccine which goes against the Disney mandate.

Now that Jason Morgan is presumed dead, the news is hitting fans all over again. Perhaps the sting may not be as strong for some after going through losing Jason all those years back. But still, fans are sad and angry.

Steve doesn’t plan on going public with any detailed explanations regarding his firing from GH. In their recent That’s Awesome! podcast discussion, Steve told Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) and the audience, “I’ve gotten a lot of requests for interviews, but I don’t want to do them,” and continued, “I have no interest, dude. Because I don’t want division. That’s the bottom line.”

General Hospital spoilers reveal that in a recent podcast of That’s Awesome!, with Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson, Anderson revealed that he doesn’t agree with his bestie’s decision to not get vaccinated, ultimately leading to his firing from General Hospital.

Bradford and Steve’s friendship runs deep. They aren’t going to let differences of opinions get in the way of their bond. They have been friends for many years and although like most people, they have disagreements, they aren’t willing to throw in the towel on their friendship. Bradford tells fans, “We’ve been friends for a long time,” he disclosed, “but like all friends, we have disagreements. And I disagree with Steve’s decision. He knows that.” He continued by making things clear by stating, “But over our years of friendship,” he continued, “we’ve had plenty of discussions about, well, things like this and other topics and yes, sometimes we agree, sometimes we don’t, but at the end of the day we are still friends.”

Steve is well aware of the storm his decision has created among General Hospital fans, Jason fans particularly. He told Bradford, “I know people are frustrated, I know people are angry, I know all these things,” he said. “Just so you know, I’m OK.” Burton went on to explain that doors are already opening that he is excited about.

General Hospital news and spoilers reveal that Steve has zero interest in doing interviews upon his departure from General Hospital.

For those who think Steve has done something wrong or inconsiderate because misinformation has lead many to believe that Steve is contributing to the spread by not getting vaccinated. This is false. One can still spread and contract the illness, even while vaccinated. What the vaccine does however, is protect one’s self from more severe symptoms. Steve made a personal choice and although disappointing to see Jason go, Burton believes in personal, religious, medical, and all freedoms.

General Hospital spoilers reveal that Carolyn Hennesy spoke out in a tweet, with nothing but kind words to say about her friend, Steve Burton, upon General Hospital news confirmation of his GH exit.

General Hospital Rumors: Trevor St. John To Replace Steve Burton As Jason Morgan

The mystery is over and the dreaded news has been confirmed. Earlier this week, General Hospital news reports confirmed Steve Burton’s exit from the daytime drama, when the actor shared a video message on Instagram. In the video, Steve explained the details of his departure.

The current storyline, along with the recent, sudden confirmation of Burton’s exit, has raised questions around the future of the character, Jason Morgan. Since GH news reports announced that Trevor St. John has landed a role on GH, General Hospital comings and goings and General Hospital rumors began claiming St. John would be replacing either Ingo Rademacher as Jax, or become the new Jason Morgan.

GH news and spoilers reveal Steve Burton’s role as Jason will be left open for a potential future return, while GH rumors claim the role is being recast by St. John for the time being.

Sources say Jason will emerge from the rubble, with an all-new look for the audience, by remaining Jason in true form for his friends in Port Charles. There won’t be any identity crisis for this recast, just a simple switch.

Steve Burton will be dearly missed. While we appreciate and support Steve’s stance for medical freedom, we are so sad things have taken this path. We wish Steve and Ingo the best and hope that someday they can return to their daytime careers as Jason Morgan and Jasper “Jax” Jacks.
