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!
Dex stays in Port Charles. Evan Hofer signs GH contract as Dex Heller?! …Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) is here for the long haul. At first, Dex’s purpose in Port Charles was solely to work for Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell). He was hired to work as an informant in Sonny Corinthos’s (Maurice Benard) business. Then, things got complicated along the way. Attachments to new friends make for some gray area, while an emotional bond to Sonny turns the tables.
For months, General Hospital fans wonder if Dex has another reason for coming to/staying in Port Charles. Obviously, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) gives Dex a good enough reason to stay. But, General Hospital rumors and spoilers suggest that she isn’t the only thing keeping him in PC.
It looks like Dex has good reason to stay in Port Charles. In recent General Hospital news, Dex’s portrayer, Evan Hofer, shared some exciting GH casting details. According to Evan, his role as Dex was meant to be a short-term character. Instead, the told of Dex Heller turned into a contract role! General Hospital comings and goings reports confirm that Evan Hofer signed a GH contract as Dex Heller.
Evan Hofer Signs Contract
In a recent interview, Hofer discloses how his role went from a short term thing to a more permanent role. He explained that he was about to film his very first scenes alongside ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith. Even continued to explain that GH Executive Producer, Frank Valentini, pulled him aside. “But I’m getting ready for my first scenes with him and we’re about to roll and Frank pulls me aside and tells me, “Hey, you know, you’ve shown us some great layers and great stuff we could never imagine. How do you feel about sticking around a little more permanently?’” he went on. “And I was speechless and went, ‘Yes… sounds good… yes… yes sir… yes sir.’ And he goes, ‘Cool. I’m gonna call your agent.’”
Evan’s enthusiasm may have been camouflaged by his demanding schedule. As soon as Frank told him the news, he has to run into his next scene. However, he couldn’t have been more excited. The decision was a no brained. Hofer confesses, “I think I thought about it for point-five seconds.” His mother was immediately called to share the news. Meanwhile, Hofer’s manager become aware as well.
General Hospital’s latest mob muscle is rumored to have (or had) some serious roots in Port Charles. Are the latest GH rumors true? Is Jason Morgan Dex’s father?
Josslyn is pregnant?! For most, trust and loyalty rank high among personality traits and are sought after by others. Without those qualities, it becomes difficult to carry on in meaningful relationships. Sonny feels the same way. Because of his business, trust in his professional and personal life is essential.
Although friends are nice to have, they come and go. Unlike family, friends are in your life by choice. As the same goes for someone you trust to have your back and keep your secrets. In the mob world, business is business. And for Sonny, he can’t run his ideal business without trusted and loyal employees. Over the years, the mob kingpin and family man collected a handle of employees who he trusted with his life. The one nearest and dearest to him is the (assumed) late Jason Morgan (Steve Burton).
Loyalty and Trust
After Jason’s alleged death, the world around Sonny started ti look different. Choosing Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) over his wife Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) and pushing his son Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) away changed everything. But one thing was certain, Sonny needed a trusted employee. Meanwhile, Michael was hell bent on destroying his father after. That’s where Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) comes in. Michael’s plan to take down Sonny included using Dex as an informant. Michael advised Dex to do whatever it takes to earn Sonny’s trust. The ELQ Executive told Dex to get as close to Sonny as a son… oh the irony!
According to General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Sonny and Dex’s table talk could be a hint toward the truth behind Dex. Trusted by Sonny and involved with his step daughter Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), Dex is well intertwined in Sonny’s life. Moreover, Sonny and Dex’s dinner conversation revealed similarities between the mobster and his new prodigy. There’s a lot Dex is keeping from Sonny, including his relationship with Joss. However, GH rumors hint that the closer Dex gets to Sonny, the more he’ll want to reveal. In addition, GH rumors speculate that sooner rather than later Dex comes clean. Whenever there’s secrets, something happens that makes it impossible to keep.
If Josslyn becomes pregnant, it’s possible that Dex comes clean about his relationship with Joss and who he really works for. Will Dex’s honestly push Michael out of the son spot while simultaneously making him a Grandpa again with Joss?
Dex tells Sonny the truth! Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) spent his recent days on a mission to bring down Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Originally, he took an employment offer from Sonny’s son Michael Corinthos’s (Chad Duell). And despite the position’s uniquely dangerous job description, Dex assured Michael he’s the man for the job.
Does Dex Understand The Assignment?
After meeting with his potential candidate, Michael thought that Dex seemed to fit the position well. Accordingly, Sonny’s son proceeded with his plan to use Dex to take down his own father. It was then when Dex began working for both Michael and Sonny.
General Hospital recaps recall Sonny’s suspicions of his new employee. It is loyalty and trust that Sonny holds in high regard, honoring those who possess these qualities. So, if anyone betrays him, there’s no going back. Since Dex is secretly working for Michael, the betrayal against Sonny is already a done deal. However, forgiveness might be an option if Dex comes clean on his own.
Meanwhile, Michael’s personal life has its challenges as faces a true nightmare. Although a focused businessman, Michael is a negatively distracted with Willow’s terminal illness. Additionally, drama follows the Corinthians family, and every turn. While Nina is the reason Michael feels betrayed by Sonny, she is also the source of the Willow’s distress. This makes Michael more determined than ever to make sunny pay for choosing Nina over his family.
Dex Tells Sonny the Truth
As revealed in recent General Hospital spoilers, there is more to Dex Heller than meets the eye. Previous General Hospital rumors speculate that Dex has a personal connection to someone(s) or in his new social circle. GH rumors tease that Dex and Sonny’s latest meeting highlights an unexpected connection between them. Although GH rumors suggest that Dex knows exactly who and what brought him to Port Charles, he never imagined his feelings could change. Clearly, something ignited between the two men during their conversation about cooking. Similarly, Sonny and Dex’s interest in cooking serves the same life purpose for each of them.
Sonny recognized in Dex what he knows about himself and did’t hesitate to admit their common trait. Previously, GH rumors surrounding Dex claimed the young informant would likely turn out to be either Sonny or Jason Morgan’s (Steve Burton) son. That being said, because Sunny indexes newly discovered commonality, be a nod to what’s to come?
Sheree Burton’s baby makes an internet debut. Last Spring, Sheree Gustin (Burton) announced her 4th pregnancy. Due to the fact that she and [now ex-] husband hadn’t publicized their split, GH fans didn’t hesitate to send congratulations to Steve, Sheree, and their children. Sadly, reactions rapidly morphed when General Hospital’s Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) addressed Sheree’s announcement.
Unbeknownst to Steve’s fans, he and his wife of 23 years split. Sheree’s announcement threw off fans, as it was assumed the baby was an addition to the Burton family. Steve, Sheree, and their children, Brooklyn, Makena, and Jack, seemed picture perfect. It wasn’t until Steve cleared the air regarding Sheree’s pregnancy that the long time couple revealed their split. Shared promptly by General Hospital Blog, the truth about Sheree’s pregnancy came to light. Burton explained that Sheree’s 4th baby was not his. The two had quietly spilt, which lead to confusion around the baby announcement drama.
Previously, General Hospital spoilers revealed details surrounding their divorce. (To catch up on the scoop, visit us HERE). After the public debacle, Sheree shut down her original Instagram account. Meanwhile, fans of both wished them both well and awaited news on her pregnancy and childbirth. However, her social media accounts showed no signs of the pregnancy or the new baby. Now, GH news reports confirm the birth of Sheree Burton’s baby.
According to recent General Hospital news and spoilers, Sheree shared her first photos of her brand new baby girl. In a recent Instagram post, her 4th child, a daughter, is revealed for the first time. In the post description, Sheree addressed having a baby in her 40s. Since this isn’t her first rodeo, the mom of 4 enters this new chapter with wisdom.
Congratulations to Sheree on the birth of her blessing; her daughter Izabella. Make sure to check out pics of Sheree and Izabella in the IG post below!
Esme’s road to redemption! Esme Prince (Avery Pohl) is an American boarding school student with a foggy upbringing and undesirable genetics. She arrived in Port Charles as Spencer Cassadine’s (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) girlfriend with a sinister agenda.
General Hospital news reports reveal that there is much more for Esme Prince (Avery Pohl) in Port Charles. The character made a name for herself as Spencer’s troubled boarding school girlfriend. With an agenda of her own, Esme planted herself just right for her secret mission. Although Spencer is aware he wasn’t dating America’s Sweetheart, he remains oblivious to the depth of her psychotic bloodline. After a year and a half of unforgivable behavior, is Esme headed for redemption?
General Hospital news and spoilers reveal Avery Pohl sat down with General Hospital stars Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) and Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) for an interview on their podcast, That’s Awesome! In her interview with GH co-stars Bradford and Steve, Avery spills some tea about Esme.
A Road toRedemption for Esme?!
General Hospital spoilers reveal Avery’s answer to Bradford’s million dollar question sheds light on what’s to come for Esme. As the three stars discuss her role, Bradford asks about Esme’s amnesia storyline. At first, Esme’s acquaintances and GH fans alike assumed the young pregnant woman was faking. Then, as the story unfolded, it became clearer that Esme is an amnesiac. Now, fans want to know if amnesia is Esme’s road to redemption.
Bradford asked Avery if this storyline is potentially a blank slate/ rewrite for Esme. Pohl confessed, “I, I think that that is where this is heading but I don’t have concrete yes/nos on that.”
In another segment of Avery’s interview, GH’s ex- Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) offered some advice and words of encouragement. His history in daytime qualifies his advice to the young star, which was well received.
GH fans want to know: Why did Marcus Coloma leave General Hospital? Recently, Marcus Coloma sat down with two former co-stars to discuss his shocking General Hospital exit. That’s Awesome with Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson is where Coloma laid it all out on the table. for his former co-stars and their audience.
General Hospital news reports confirm that Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) and Bradford Anderson (Damian Spinelli) sat down with GH’s Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma). In the interview, Marcus revealed the truth about his controversial situation. Burton and Anderson get to the bottom of fan’s burning question. Why did Marcus Coloma leave General Hospital?
Former Co-Stars Asks Marcus Coloma The Truth About His GH Exit
General Hospital spoilers reveal TPTB over at General Hospital did not offer Coloma a chance to negotiate a contract renewal. His 3 year contract recently reached its expiration date with no discussion. He admitted, “It wasn’t like General Hospital was saying, ‘Hey, Marcus, we want you to stay,’ there was no negotiation or anything like that. All I can say to that is… I don’t know why that decision was made but I don’t feel any ill will and it didn’t feel like I got fired, it just felt like, I don’t know, I think there was maybe an understanding that I was going to be there for three years and I think the big surprise is how much it hurt… even though I knew I was going to leave, but it hurt.”
GH news and spoilers reveal that when asked if he would have stayed, Coloma explained that the choice would have been “a really hard decision,” given that he has “big goals,” ones that “would’ve never been realized if I would’ve stayed at General Hospital.” But he made it very clear that his statement wasn’t to take anything away from General Hospital. “I admire everything about it.”
Nikolas Cassadine’s Future
Sadly, Marcus Coloma last aired as Nikolas Cassadine at the end of January. According to General Hospital rumors, Nikolas’s future is uncertain. Unfortunately, the Dark Prince may die. Although a recast has stepped in, Adam Huss took over the role temporarily. Will Nikolas die or go in hiding?
Will Michael and Sonny get back on track? Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) is secretly plotting his father’s downfall. Unbeknownst to Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen), Michael hired Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) to work for Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) under false pretenses.
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Willow’s delicate situation brings father and son closer. Michael’s family gathered together to support him while his fiancé and their baby’s lives are in question. For the mobster, family comes first. Although Michael and his father are at odds, Sonny wants nothing more than to be there for his son and his family.
According to recent General Hospital rumors and spoilers, Michael leans on dear old dad for support as he sits and waits for answers. Despite Michael’s grievances with his father’s choices, part of him still knows Sonny loves and supports him.
Tragic events tend to bring families closer, even when they aren’t seeing eye to eye. General Hospital rumors tease that Michael rethinks his plot to take down his dad. However, what’s already in motion might not be able to be stopped. Dex is more determined than ever to get the job done. Meanwhile, he’s making promises to Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) that he can’t keep.
Joss comes clean to Cam! Cameron Webber (William Lipton) never expected Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) to be unfaithful. Ever since they were children, they’ve cared for, been there for, and trusted each other. Never did he imagine she’d lie like this.
General Hospital spoilers reveal now that Cam came face to face with the truth about his breakup with Joss, she has some explaining to do. GH spoilers and previews indicate Joss comes clean to Cam. Standing in shock, Cameron comes right out and asks Josslyn if Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) is the real reason they broke up. Apparently, Josslyn admits to cheating on her childhood sweetheart and then proceeds to plead with him. She knows that if Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) finds out Dex is sleeping with Joss, there will be hell to pay.
General Hospital rumors hint Sonny isn’t the only one to fear when it comes to her secret relationship with Dex. Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) put his trust in Dex and the last thing he wants is his employee sleeping with his sister. GH rumors tease Dex is hiding more than anyone suspects.
What is Dex hiding? He has quite the plan when it comes to thnewr future and his employment status with Sonny. GH recaps recall Dex telling Joss he’ll let her in on everything in 6 months at the time his employment with Sonny is over. But what exactly will he divulge?
Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) and Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) have been cleverly intertwined. Their undeniable chemistry and instant attraction mirrors that of something from the past.
General Hospital recaps recall how Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) understands her daughter’s reasons for helping Dex, and in turn, she was willing to help Joss help him.
General Hospital spoilers tease Joss and Dex have crossed paths to mirror the similarities between Joss and Carly. In addition, Dex and Jason are eerily similar. Fans have been calling Dex things like, “Sonny’s new Jason,” and “Jason 2.0.” Joss herself even called him, “no neck, and, “Sonny’s muscle.” That being said, we can’t help but think of a certain someone. Does Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) ring a bell? Of course! Joss and Dex are a lot like Carly and Jason. If history is going to repeat itself in its own new way, Josslyn follows in Carly’s footsteps. Joss reflecting a young Carly as Dex does Jason makes for a smart way to develop Dex’s story.
General Hospital rumors hint Dex is working for both Michael and Sonny for a reason. Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) wants to take down his father Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) after he betrayed Carly with Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros). He secretly hired Dex to pose as Sonny’s trusted enforcer. GH rumors speculate Dex is ready and willing because he thinks Michael and Sonny both owe him something. He wants the father and family he never had and he blames Sonny for that. Dex thinks Michael is ungrateful to turn his back on his father when Dex himself never got to know his own.
Is Jason Really Dex’s Father?
General Hospital rumors and spoilers claim Dex is Jason Morgan’s son and he wants restitution for being robbed of the past. Given that Jason worked for Sonny for the majority of his life, his line of work took him away from family life. As a result, even his love life with Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) and their kids was severed. Ultimately, Jason chose working for Sonny over being a father.
GH rumors hint that Dex is Jason’s long lost son. Of course, with news like that comes many questions. Such as who is Dex’s mother. That’s yet to be determined, but anything is possible on soaps. He envies Michael for having a loving father to have cared for him into adulthood. Therefore, Dex resents Sonny having a family while Jason could not. Now that Jason is presumed dead, Dex will never her the chance to know his father.
