Last week, the shocking news broke out, confirming Steve Burton’s EXIT from The Young and the Restless after just three years as Dylan McAvoy. The time Burton spent at Y&R is merely a fraction of his 21 year performance on General Hospital as Jason Quartermaine/Morgan. Fans new and loved him as a resident of Port Charles for over 2 decades.
Last Fall, General Hospital news reports confirmed that GH newcomer, (Steve’s recast as Jason Morgan), Billy Miller had signed on a new contract with GH. However it has been reported that contract was a ONE YEAR contract, which would mean talk of contract negotiations with Miller should take place around this time. However, we are already into October, and Miller is still on screen as Jason Morgan. There has been no confirmation on whether or not Billy Miller has signed on yet again with ABC’s General Hospital. Fans of both Steve Burton and Billy Miller are scrambling to search for answers. The biggest question this news poses to fans is, “Will Steve Burton reprise his role as Jason Morgan?”
General Hospital Blog will keep fans notified of any contract information regarding GH’s current Jason Morgan, Billy Miller. So far, there isn’t a reason to believe he will be leaving the show, but on the other hand, there hasn’t been confirmation of a new contract deal either.
We want to know! Would you welcome Steve Burton back to GH with open arms as Jason Morgan once again?
Steve Burton left his 21 year run on ABC’s General Hospital in 2012. He played the iconic role of Jason Quartermaine/Morgan, and become the Daytime TV face of the Port Charles mob, alongside c0-star Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
Burton’s departure from his role as Jason on GH became one of the biggest upsets in Daytime. Burton’s decision came as a result of what was said to be what was best for his family. He joined the cast of CBS’ The Young and the Restless, as Dylan McAvoy.
The role of Jason Morgan was recast by Y&R vet, Billy Miller. It was hard for fans to accept at the beginning, however, JaSam fans have accepted and embraced the new role.
Steve Burton has confirmed via Twitter, his departure from Y&R this coming December, at his contract’s end.
What will Steve decide next?
Would you like to see him reprise his role as Jason Morgan on General Hospital?
Two of General Hospital’s most well known actors are real life friends and are about to reunite through a new project. The legendary Lucky Spencer, portrayed by Jonathan Jackson, and the iconic Jason Morgan formerly played by Steve Burton for 21 years, have joined forces outside ABC Studios.
The two have parted ways from General Hospital, as Steve Burton now plays Dylan McAvoy on The Young and the Restless, and Jonathan Jackson has moved to ABC’s Primetime drama, Nashville, as Avery Barkley. Although they are no longer co-workers in show biz, they are taking their colleague-ship in an entirely new direction.
Jackson and Burton have announced that they, along with third co-owner, restaurateur, Richard Shannon will open a Tennessee Smokehouse. The venue has been described as “a family-friendly, world class,” restaurant and concert venue.
At Jack and Jameson’s Smoke House, expect to indulge in barbecue and burgers, and will have 15-20 local brews on tap.
In the area or looking to vacation in Tennessee? General Hospital fans all over the country are ecstatic about this recent news.

Jason Thompson and Kelly Monaco were nothing short of Emmy worthy in their performance. This story is a clear reflection of the real life goodbye the cast and crew have experienced as Jason Thompson taped his final episode of General Hospital last week. Jason Thompson has ended his 10 year run as the undeniably gorgeous, Dr. Patrick Drake, son of legendary Dr. Noah Drake, played by Rick Springfield. It has been confirmed that Jason Thompson has moved on to The Young and the Restless, and will be joining fellow ex-GH cast mate, Steve Burton (Jason Morgan).
It’s difficult to say what will happen next with this story. Odds are, they are gearing toward Emma getting her wish, and having Robin return to Port Charles, but no one knows just how long that will last.
Watch General Hospital M-F at 2PM Eastern/Standard to find out what’s to come at this emotional time for little Emma Drake and her Dad, Patrick.
At this point there isn’t much that Sonny’s family can do. So the Corinthos clan just has to wait, hope, and pray, as the head of their family (pun intended) fights for his life.
GH recaps highlight Sonny and Carly’s wedding day drama. It was supposed to be a happy day full of love and family. Instead, Sonny was shot on the day he was supposed to marry his love, Carly. The two were preparing for their 5th wedding to one another. According to the recent GH recaps, Sonny risked his life to save TJ Ashford. Sonny promised his friend and enforcer, Shawn, that he would protect the boy and he did just that.
General Hospital spoilers reveal that the aftermath of Sonny’s shooting will make a huge impact on the lives in Port Charles. First, Sonny’s youngest son Morgan faces whether or not he will be diagnosed with bipolar disorder, just like his dad. So far, signs are pointing to yes. Morgan is displaying some of the same characteristics that would lead to a bipolar diagnosis. After Sonny was shot, Morgan was beside himself with grief and anger. The thought of losing his dad has his mind spinning out of control… so much that he will go to extreme measures to get justice.
According to GH previews, Morgan is ready to end Julian’s life. He’s out for revenge and won’t let anyone deter him from getting justice for Sonny. Moreover, General Hospital spoilers indicate that Sonny’s incident will adversely affect many lives in Port Charles. As a result of the incident, the Jason Morgan reveal will begin to unravel. Sam, Maxie, and Ric, have already started to notice the similarities between Jake Doe and Jason Morgan right after the shooting on the pier.
Furthermore, GH rumors claim that Sonny’s story line has set the stage for November Sweeps. As previously reported, GH spoilers indicate the Jason Morgan reveal takes place during that time.
To find out more about how and when Jason will be revealed, keep watching General Hospital every day for the exciting outcome!
One of the most controversial fan base wars has just taken the drama to an entirely new level. The Liason vs. JaSam wars date back to practically a decade, and it doesn’t look like there will be an end to all the chaos any time soon. General Hospital fans have been waiting for what seems like forever for the big Jason Morgan reveal. Ever since Billy Miller took over the role of Jason Morgan, and stepped into Steve Burton’s shoes, true Jason and Sam fans have been waiting (im)patiently for their great love to be reunited. All the while, Elizabeth and Jason fans have been in their glory during the current story line involving the love between Jake Doe (Jason) and Liz.
We all know that Elizabeth and Nikolas are keeping an enormous secret from the rest of Port Charles. Aside from Laura and Lucky Spencer, they have told no one of Jake’s true identity. Helena knows that Jake is really Jason because she is the reason Jason “died” in the first place. Hayden Barnes is well aware of Jake’s true identity, but since she is having trouble with her memory after waking up from a coma, the threat she poses has been put on the back burner. Nikolas however, isn’t taking any chances, and he has proposed to Hayden, that she live at Wyndemere.
This story line just crossed a new level of drama, as Jake asked Elizabeth to marry him. Unsure of what to do, Elizabeth turned to God for a sign. Although she knows Jake really is married to Sam, and Sam walked into the chapel as Liz was asking for a sign from above, she still, despite everything she knows about Jake and his loved ones, told him yes to marriage.
In General Hospital spoilers and news, recently GH’s Head Writer, Ron Carlivati was let go and replaced by two co-writers, Jean Passanante and Shelly Altman. Currently, the show is still airing episodes written by Carlivati, but soon enough, that will all change. It goes without saying that this wedding will ultimately end in disaster, if Liz and Jake even make it to the altar. General Hospital rumors have been speculating, that the big Jason reveal is going to happen sooner rather than later. The current changes with the GH writing team gives fans hope that this story will be moving along more quickly now, and that Jake will soon find out he is Jason Morgan. More importantly, Sam and Jason will be reunited as husband and wife. For the time being, Liason fans are enjoying the ride, however, Jason and Sam will inevitably be reunited. That will make for one disastrous wedding indeed.
How will it all go down? Give us your thoughts and theories revolving around Liz and Jake’s demise, in preparation for the JaSam reunion. Will they make it down the aisle before Sam finds out that Jason is alive, and Elizabeth is marrying her husband and the father of her son, Danny?
General Hospital’s Summer Stunner is no doubt one of the biggest shocks we could have ever asked for. A few years ago Elizabeth Webber and Jason Morgan lost their son when he got out of Liz’s house and was hit by a car. His adoptive father Lucky was beside himself at the loss of his son and the fact that his own father, Luke, was the hit and run driver.
These gut wrenching scenes will bring you to tears as you watch Elizabeth, Jason, Lucky, and their loved ones go through what no parent should ever have to experience… the loss of a child.
Helena has always been evil, but we have just realized her maximum capacity at evil doing. As it turns out, little Jake is not dead, in fact, he is very much alive. In this week’s scenes where Luke Spencer and Helena Cassadine said their goodbyes, she informed Luke that she has a parting gift for him. That gift, is that the grandson he thought he killed while he was drunk driving, is not dead at all. Instead, little Jake was part of another one of Helena’s evil plots to put the Spencer family though Hell.
Take a look at this amazing video recap created by a GH fan, YouTube user. It will definitely bring you to tears, and give you a little history refresher in the process. Take a look!
Fans are about to lose their minds when it comes to the Jake Doe, Jason and Sam (Kelly Monaco) story line. Die hard JaSam fans just want the reunion sooner rather than later. Sam and Jason have been considered one of Daytime TV’s ultimate super couples. This relationship which is just short of an entire decade has had a huge fan following since the beginning. Every since Jason took Sam in while pregnant with Sonny’s baby, these two were meant to be. They have been there for each other through it all, the good, the bad, the unthinkable. This couple possesses passion, love, selflessness, humor… together they make one bad ass mob team, Jason the enforcer and Sam his leading lady, P.I.
Ever since Steve Burton left General Hospital and Jason Morgan “died,” true Jason and Sam fans have not been completely content with the love interests that were introduced for Sm Morgan. Some jumped on the Silas (Michael Easton) and Sam bandwagon, and there is no doubt that Patrick (Jason Thompson) and Sam make an adorably hot couple. But the fact remains, that Jason and Sam have YEARS of history, and no other man compares when it comes to being a match for fair Samantha.
Now that Billy Miller has taken on the role of Jason Morgan (Jake Doe for now), fans have been waiting in anticipation for him to regain his memory, stop messing around with Liz (Rebecca Herbst), and realize that Sam and Danny are his family. Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) just put a huge wrench in things after he hired a con artist, Hayden (Rebecca Budig) to pose as Jake’s long lost wife, in an attempt to get him away from Elizabeth Webber. Thus, setting back the reunion for Jason and Sam even further.
Recent General Hospital spoilers reveal that Jake will have a dream about Sam, which will include flashbacks of their life together. GH rumors have been speculating that these flashbacks will ultimately lead to Jake discovering that Sam is his wife.
Are you ready for Jason to finally remember who he is and who he loves? Leave a comment and let us know if you are excited for Jason and Sam to be a family again with their son, Danny.
This past year, ABC’s General Hospital and CBS’ The Young and the Restless seem to be having fun playing a good game of actor swap. From Maura West to Steve Burton, 2014 was full of exchanging stars from one soap to the other.
Tristan Rogers is yet another daytime star that has bounced from Y&R to GH from time to time. Although the actor, and GH legendary character Robert Scorpio is currently away from GH as he plays Colin on Y&R, there is hope that he will be able to work out a deal that allows him to take part in both daytime dramas. Rogers just signed on with The Young and the Restless for another year, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that he cannot appear on General Hospital as Robert Scorpio.
Rogers expressed via Twitter that the issue regarding being able to appear on GH while still under contract with Y&R has yet to be resolved. That being said, it is highly possible that the two networks are ironing out an agreement to let Tristan Rogers return to General Hospital while he is also playing Colin on Y&R.
Rogers’ character, Robert Scorpio would fit perfectly into current story lines over in Port Charles. The identity of Fluke is about to be revealed, which Luke and Robert have a long history with each other. Also, Robin, Robert’s daughter, is still being held by Helena Cassadine. General Hospital rumors have indicated the return of Robin Scorpio in the near future. What better timing for dear old dad to return as well, right?
Let us know if you’d be excited to see Tristan Rogers reprise his role as Robert Scorpio on General Hospital. Comment below!
