Steve Burton returns to General Hospital Is Jason Sonny’s enemy?
When we think of Jason Morgan we often think of Sonny’s right hand man. Carly Corinthos Spencer’s best friend, a biological Quartermaine, and even Sam’s true love.
According to General Hospital history, Jason Quartermaine changed forever after the accident in the early 1990s. Since then he’s been Mr. Predictable, and as loyal as man’s best friend. The Jason Morgan we know loves his family and vows to protect them with his life.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors suggest that a whole new Jason lands back in Port Charles. Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and the rest of Jason’s loved ones believe that he’s dead after fallen rock and debris covered him. So, when they discover that he’s actually alive we’d expect a happy reunion. However, GH rumors tease that we’ve been there and done that. What’s that’s going on with Sonny and Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) seems to be all over the place. There’s a Cassadine connection, as well as Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) and of course Mr. Brennan (Charles Mesure) have their hand in this too. But what ties them all together?
Is Jason Sonny’s Enemy?
GH news reports confirm that Steve Burton reported back to Prospect Studios this morning as he begins to film his role as Jason Morgan. While rumors heavily suspect that Jason’s been brainwashed, it’s possible that he is on the wrong side involuntarily. Could Jason Morgan be involved with Pikeman and act as Sonny’s enemy instead of his loyal best friend?
Last week’s General Hospital brought the shock factor to its audience on many different levels. Obviously Spencer and Esme made us gasp, Avery Pohl’s unexpected exit, Nikolas and Ace’s return to Laura, and more contributed to the ultimately shocking storylines.
General Hospital recaps highlight Spencer and Trina’s life or death situation. Their families came together to help rescue them from Esme Prince. While it looks like Esme and Spencer are swimming with the fishies, GH news reports confirm that Nicholas Alexander Chavez will return as Spencer, but Avery Pohl’s exit is indefinite. Now Trina is traumatized after the event and losing Spencer. To be honest, I’m traumatized too lol. I want Esme back! It still boggles my mind that GH took this direction. But that’s for another post at another time.
Anna’s Taken Aback By Jagger
Meanwhile, Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) and Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) engage in their own life threatening drama. The two find themselves in an FBI ambush as they try to crack a case of their own. That’s when Jagger showed up. General Hospital spoilers reveal that a blast from the past has come back. Those who watched GH in the early 90s know exactly who Jagger Cates is. However, anyone would be confused and shocked by this because todays Jagger isn’t the man who made the role an iconic piece of American culture and Soap Opera history.
According to GH news reports, Jagger was recast with actor Adam Harrington. While Antonio Sabàto Jr. helped create the role over 30 years ago, it’s been reported that Sabato Jr. was not asked to reprise the ever-popular the role. Now, the actor has come out to speak on the subject.
In a now-deleted Instagram video, Sabato Jr. addressed a statement about Jagger’s recent recasting. “I’m being bombarded with a lot of questions about this General Hospital thing. You need to know the truth from me and you need to know the only truth about what’s going on.”
Antonio Sabato Jr. Address Jagger Recast
There’s no denying that Antonio Sabato Jr.’s role as Jagger Cates took the GH fandom by storm in the early 1990s. Certainly, his face became recognizable across the world as General Hospital fans tuned in to see what’s next. Antonio addressed the early starved of the character, and Jagger’s worldly popularity. “At the beginning of my career, I started on a character that I truly, truly adore, that I created with Wendy Riche, the executive producer, and an amazing team of writers at General Hospital back in 1992. I was on General Hospital from 92 to 94, playing a character by the name of John “Jagger” Cates.
Jagger Cates Popularity
I’ve been asked by the fans by millions all over the world, not just in America and in North America, but all over the world, about coming back to General Hospital for 30 years. Now, like I said, I’m doing very well. I’m not begging to go back on the show. This is not about that. I have many careers. I’m still acting very well. I have a movie coming out. I have a lot of things coming out and I’m very proud of.”
Reflecting on his popularity as Jagger, and the irony that he was never asked to return, Sabato stated, “I’ve never been asked to come back on General Hospital for 30 years. The producers at General Hospital, ABC, and Disney, they know where to find me. They know where I am. The fans always ask me every single day, ‘Are you going back to General Hospital?”
Adam Harrington Steps In as Jagger Recast
Fast forward to this week. It’s 2024 and has been 30 years since Sabato Jr. played the iconic Jagger Cates. Suddenly, the news hit fans and Antonio like a brick. He was bombarded with questions from fans, asking about the recent GH casting. That’s when Antonio commented on Jagger’s revival, and the fact that he wasn’t asked to step back into the role. Instead, GH hired Adam Harrington to take over as the memorable Cates.
“They don’t even call him ‘Jagger’. They call him ‘John’ because they know that the character’s only been played by me ’cause it’s part of who I am. It’s my life. It’s a character that is really a big part of, of my soul that I dedicated my life. And that’s what it turned out to be. I gave everything I have to that character and I would still do. So, the truth and the fact of the matter is people say, well, ‘you ruin your career because you voted for this or political or this and that.’ I shouldn’t be hired on my political views. I should be hired on my merit, on my acting abilities because you know, that works.”
“So this is on them hiring a new person, which is fine. They could do whatever they want. But hey, but for all the fans around the world to speculate or to say, you know, I ruined my career and all this stuff, mo, that’s not it. So now you know the truth. I’m gonna leave this out there for you to see.”
According to GH News and spoilers, Antonio’s message was addressed in a now-deleted IG video. Please be sure to check back with us at GH Blog for the latest developments.
Confirmed! Steve Burton returns to General Hospital next week! Although his on-screen return date is still TBA, Steve Burton reports back to Prospect Studios the week of February 5th, 2024.
Reflecting on Sonny and Dex’s conversation, Sonny believes the attack was an inside operation. Only someone who has spent a significant amount of time learning the landscape could pull off an ambush like that. Additionally, the individual would need to exhibit strong, survival skills, and more hell of a shot.
Jason Morgan Returns As Sonny’s Enemy
General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Jason Morgan fits the bill as a skilled shooter who also happens to know the layout of Sonny’s tropical safe house. True, he possesses those qualities and then some. But the thing is that Jason Morgan would never harm Sonny or his family in a million years. However, he would if he was brainwashed. That’s why most recently fans toss around wild speculations about the shooter’s identity.
Coincidentally, (or not), Steve Burton disclosed that he’s back at Prospect Studios the week of February 5th. I don’t know about ya all, but to me that sounds like perfect timing for the mystery shooter storyline.

The shooter was well prepared as if he knows the place from the inside out. In the past, Jason helped Sonny at times like these. His insight was always spot on, and Sonny always could depend on Jason. Thankfully, Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) seems to have what it takes to fill Jason’s shoes in the business.

General Hospital Spoilers: When does Jason return to General Hospital?
Let’s just say that a Christmas miracle has given General Hospital fans their most desired wish. Undoubtedly, this past year has been a memorable, yet rough one on the GH community; cast, crew, and even fans included. A major milestone warmed our hearts in the most bittersweet way. As GH turned 60, the beloved cast and crew suffered great loss with the passing of some key players. Ultimately, the pride, love and loss created an extra special year for General Hospital and its fans.

There were bittersweet moments that took place during the 50th annual Daytime Emmy Awards. Loss plagued the community after several unexpected deaths hit close to home. Previously, GH news reports confirm that the Soap Opera’s long time actress Sonya Eddy died at the age of 55. The Emmy-winning actress played Epiphany Johnson, GH’s Head Nurse, for 16 years.
On December 15th, the Daytime Emmy Awards showcased talent across the Daytime television communities. That’s when Eddy was honored for her work on ABC’s General Hospital upon receiving a posthumous award for Best Supporting Actress In A Drama Series. According to GH news reports, a battle for Sonya Eddy’s Daytime Emmy award has made headlines.

Now allegedly, Tyler Ford has denied Eddy’s family upon their request for the award.
Epiphany and Elizabeth
GH news reports reveal that Sonya’s family has no plans to take legal action against the Award Academy or Tyler Ford at this time. Moreover, GH rumors claim that Sonya was estranged from some family members at the time of her death. Hopefully the issue is resolved and the drama subsides as Sonya is remembered.
Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) was known for loving one man over all others. Although hard times and crossed lines became familiar, Carly and Sonny Corinthos’s (Maurice Benard) magnetic bond always pulled them close. That’s why Port Charles mobster and his ride or die destined for one another. Now, it’s only a matter of time before that force draws them in again.
It looks like Sonny is about to be on the market again shortly after marrying Nina. Have no fear because he’s fresh and up for grabs. But for how long? GH rumors hint that Sonny and Nina are headed to splitsville. Additionally, Carly and Drew will hit a few snags that just might make this whole thing unravel.
General Hospital spoilers indicate that According to recent General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Drew takes on a new outlook. No more Mr. Nice Guy, because Drew is tired of being a pushover. Lately, GH rumors suggest that Carly supports and understands the origin of Drew’s shifting vision. Allegedly, Drew’s anger begins to consume him and he loses control. GH rumors tease that this leads to Drew and Carly’s shocking yet inevitable breakup.
What will Drew do to send Carly packing for good? It’s hard to imagine because he’s typically so calm and even-keeled. But GH spoilers tease that Drew shows a new side that Carly doesn’t like. Will he go after her son Michael for revenge? Or, will he cheat? Few and Anna’s conversations got letting interesting… what is Drew capable of?
Earlier this month General Hospital celebrate its 60th anniversary with prime time special. The tribute to TV’s longest running drama captivated the iconic show’s viewers. With its historic longevity and indelible storylines, General Hospital has become a huge piece of our culture.
Storylines and juicy plots can only get a production so far, but the delivery could make or break the story’s success. Typically, that’s where the actors make their magic. There’s no doubt that General Hospital has had its abundant share of phenomenal actors and roles over the years. But it seems like not many can cause quite the stir that Steve Burton can.
According to General Hospital spoilers, Steve Burton is set to return, and Jason shocks his loved ones with another return from the dead. But will he be the same Jason Morgan that everyone loves? Yes and no. Some GH rumors claim that Jason Morgan returns as his original identity… Jason Quartermaine. Other GH rumors claims that he arrives in Poet Charles someone completely new. However, much supporting evidence points toward what we all know as Sonny’s right hand man, Jason Morgan.
Steve Burton’s Return Twist! GH Poll: Steve Burton Returns To General Hospital As…
It’s no secret that the Quartermaine and Corinthos families aren’t the best of friends despite their intermingled members. The Quartermaines were never particularly fond of Carly (Corinthos) Spencer because of her entanglements with both of their son.
In retrospect, Carly caused a lot of problems for the Q family back in the day. It was back when she got pregnant by AJ (Sean Kanan), but convinced Jason to pass baby Michael off as his own. Over the years Carly and the Quartermaine family have managed to play nice most of the time. Needless to say, some members of Michael’s biological paternal side have held resentment toward Carly and Sonny for raising Michael as a Corinthos when he’s technically a Quartermaine. But the Qs are known for their tough exterior, especially Tracy Quartermaine. That’s why Tracy’s next move is a shock to her family as well as GH viewers.
According to the latest GH previews, Michael gets Tracy’s approval despite having been the family black sheep of the younger generations. Perhaps it’s time that Tracy realizes that Michael has paid his dues as a Quartermaine throughout the years. GH rumors tease that Michael’s just as shocked as the viewers when Tracy’s pat on the back is sincere.
Is it possible that Tracy approves of Michael’s recent, covert business scheme? First, Michael knew that Nina was the one who turned his mom and drew into the SEC and stay quiet. Then he showed Nina his hand and used it to his advantage. All keeping the truth from his mom and dad. Everything about this earns Tracy’s stamp of approval.
Our prayers have been answered! Well, I know that mine have. I can’t say that I speak for all of us, but I will say that the majority of GH fans share my sentiments when it comes to Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). Steve Burton’s GH return is the absolute best news we’ve received in a while, especially after 2023’s devastating losses.
Despite the tragic losses, GH fans can find something to smile about. Jason Morgan’s comeback has been a bright spot for many since losing Sonya, Jackie, Billy, and Tyler. Of course there are more we’ve most, which are equally as sad. But as they say, life goes on. Thankfully many look forward to Jason’s Port Charles return, especially when it comes to his reunions. Sonny, Carly, Michael, Sam, and Spinelli, come to mind as the most impactful, along with the Quartermaines.
However, Jason and Sam McCall’s (Kelly Monaco) reunion is what gets me out of bed in the morning. Okay, maybe that was a little dramatic. But I am a die hard JaSam fan. Let’s just say that I own Sam’s star necklace and have the same shaped star tattooed on my body.
General Hospital spoilers tease that Jason has a few love interests to choose from. Although sadly Britt is deceased, Sam and Liz are still around. But they aren’t for the taking- for now. Of course, someone new is always a possibility. Sam is currently with Drew, and Elizabeth and Dr. Finn keep giving their relationship the old college try. Nothing is guaranteed and either of those relationships could crumble.
Will Jason’s return ignite another JaSam vs. Liason fan war? Personally, I think Jason and Sam are endgame. One of my favorite things (other than the star necklace) that they share is their love for the color black. Whether it’s a black t-shirt or a black leather jacket, black is definitely Jason and Sam’s color.
