GENERAL HOSPITAL: Ol’ Blue Eyes Is Back!
67
I’m sure I’m in a very small minority, but I want him to be a reconstructed Nikolas. Before Nikolas “died”, he was starting to show his Cassidine true colors. Maybe becoming Jason was part of his plan with Valentin to take over Sonny’s territory. How else can you get the full trust of Sonny? Being Jason is the only way. I know many say SB is the only “true” Jason, but this long lost twin thing is boring. The “hit by a car” Jason being switched before/during surgery to become the Billy Miller Jason is boring. FV says this story… Read more »
Most likely they are going to take the easy way out and use recycled scripts. Steve Burton will probably turn out to be Jason — not Nkolas.
As I am watching Y&R with Reed and Mattie, all I can see is those two running off to California just like Daniel and Lily did. Soaps just take the easy way out. It is too hard to come up with new ideas, apparently.
I hope Reed and Mattie run off the side of a building!
Yes, Timmm!!!! Me too! 🙂
I’m with you. I’m done guessing AJ……getting headaches. I was so excited, at first, but, as it is the standard for me, the suspense wanes; especially when it makes no sense. What did I miss? By MrMask’s reaction to what Ava said, it would imply it is Nikolas….then, he unmasks himself and we see Burton—playing whom?? Jason the twin ( of Franco)? Nikolas? Or any other Cassadine. Perhaps the meanest Cassadine Liesl alluded to as Nathan’s father? Tiresome. I was surprised not to have seen a sacred illumination stars bursting over Burton’s head as MrMask removed the makeshift ‘iron’ mask…..which… Read more »
It is sad that people are so negative about Burton but it is completely understandable sgandable as to why. This anger is not aimed at him, it is aimed at the writers! Since 1996, lungless regimes have told the story of Jason the brain damaged murderer and his devotion to local mob boss Sonny. It was a neat idea with a shelf life of MAYBE a year, at which point Jason should have regained his memories, gone back to his family, became a doctor, and became the moral centre of GH. Instead, now 21 years later, recasts and plastic surgeries… Read more »
So very well put. Jovin, your comment is remarkably well thought-out.
truly, had it not been for this site… I don’t think I could have withstood GH I want to cheer out loud so many of your “writing” the most deafening on point being : “What I want to see is 21 years of rage spewed out of Jason onto Carly and Sonny….with NO future friendship or forgiveness!! ” i’d toss them a bone – LOVE your read on Carly. “There was no great friendship between Carly and Jason. ” ABSOLUTELY ! even back then.. “Jason” had to have thought up front.. he’s got to protect Michael. did “Jason” back then… Read more »
Jovin, excellent post!
Yes and No. Burton, like many others declare they are done, retiring, what-have-you only to get BIG contract money and push other characters to the back burner or off the canvas all together. But it is like that WITH everything in life. Everybody wants a name. So many times the Yankees under Steinbrenner would go out and buy a big name who just did not gel with the team.
Everybody wants a name. That’s it. Burton will not last long. He will get bored or come up with some new get-rich-quick thing and will “retire.”
wow – all that build up just to see his blue eyes………………i thought it was hilarious the way fans had social media on fire for the last couple of weeks……………i just hope the actual story line is worth all the hype…………………ijs
Right? Say, elm1951, since you mentioned the blue eyes ( big whoop), my theory above coud be feasible. That is, it may be Nikolas with a donor’s blue eyes….and other parts. Since this is a predominantly a facial-reconstruction facility, Nik’s face could have been damaged beyond recognition and Bronsky ‘fixed’ him up by re-arranging his face. LOL. I was baffled by Valentin sending Ava to Russia at first, but now it’s starting to make a little sense if what I assume is going on. Why not the US? We have some of the best plastic surgeons in the world. But,… Read more »
Incognito
Exactly, CeeCee….Russia is the traditional ground-zero for all the Cassadine clan’s skullduggery…the “Island” is simply their “home away from home” when the going gets too tough elsewhere! Still, as you state, this is a really curious choice of location for “plastic surgery shenanigans.” Guess Liesl’s Swiss clinic lost favor as the “go-to place” for all hijinks—of both the mental and physical variety—when she flew the coop! (And Brazil certainly hasn’t been the same since the famed Dr. Ivo Pitanguy kicked the proverbial bucket! So where does a girl go to get her original face back??? LOL.) All I know is… Read more »
your theory is better than anything that these writers will give us………….lol
C, I dont see Steve staying past a year and Nic will someday return and should be long term so therefore I dont see Steve being Nic. Its all a twist to get us talking.
@Shay.
Same here, Shaybelle…..not liking which direction the wind seems to be bliwing. I cannot come to grips with fact that Burton could be playing Nikolas….simply does not compute. It will certainly be weird, if true.
LOL. great fun , was taken, at the expense of diehard ? no? @Timmmmmm called this weeks ago. to no avail this site is indeed for speculation… hope… and take no prisoners TPTB … are you their ? I LOVE LOVE LOVE @Jovin read, above but.. I have to agree with @su. GH – Shelley and Frank should have just hit the ground running… WITH their STARS. NOW no matter how they spin this… Billy Miller and Steve Burton have to work that much more for their characters for believe and rationale. alas.. the end result.. their grand prize of… Read more »
It’s beginning to look like the storyline is not worth a cent, my friend. I was ‘hyped’ for a NY minute, elm1951; but not for Steve B….he’s not one of my faves. But, the writers are all over the place. There is no format; no rhyme or reason. I do hope there IS a light at the end of this headache. A plausible ending will do. I was infatuated with the idea of MrMask being Nikolas ( in the form of Nick Stabile) because I NEEDED Ava and Nik to resume what they had started: a true friendship on the… Read more »
Please. “Ol’ Blue Eyes” refers to Frank Sinatra. Steve Burton can’t hold a candle to him.
Chrystie…y-e-s…THANK YOU!!!!! MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!!!!
Take care.
I also think of Paul Newman
😉
Steve has better biceps!
Hey, Timmmy,
You are probably right….this ‘twist’ has gotten us talking for how long, now?? I guess it’s fun assuming and presenting different scenarios, until the situation gets so outlandish, we become indifferent: at least, I do…..in other words; whatever happens, happens.
The return of Nik will only be appreciated ( by moi) in the form of Nick Stabile….for Ava. LOL, are you tired of hearing me say that, yet?
LOL, T. His bicepts worked well for him today, but no match against a needle! Ha!!
This is truly ridiculous….driving me up the wall. You must agree, a little….agaib, what happened to Bronsky’s Thick Russian accent??
To top it all off, I really wish I could hear what Jason/Billy and Sam were saying to each other. I know I’m not going deaf!!
Lordy Lord; how do they understand each other? Do they practice lip-reading? I want to scream and tear my hair out…
General Hospital has just surpassed As the Word Turns as the second longest televised US soap opera ever! And if it continues, GH will turn 55 on 04-01-18! Also, somewhere around that time should be GH’s 14,000th episode! Congratulations! If GH makes it to mid June of 2020 it will surpass Guiding Light’s television run!
*World
Guiding Light was on for 57 and remains the longest televised soap and is in The Guinness Book Of World records…before that it was on radio for 19 years making it the longest running soap…GH needs to be on three more years to beat GLs tv record but because it was also on radio too its considered the longest running soap!!!
Like AJ above, I may be in the minority with my thoughts on Steve Burton’s return as well; however, I do not care to see him in scenes with Monotone Sam. Honestly, more crying and delivering your lines in a monotone is not acting, IMO. I was hoping that Steve Burton would return as a doctor. For years, I wanted him to return to his Quartermaine roots, remember that he went to medical school, embrace his heritage, and come to terms with his mob life (leaving it behind). I was never a fan of Jasam (I or II) and I… Read more »

Stone Cold of young – in his youthful days… “his” blue eyes and guttural grunts were all that was needed.. and a good aim. 2. he goes to Y&R and becomes catty chatty… WITH blue shirts to – match – “his” blue eyes. well whataya know.. he returns with an emmy. which I will never believe… he beat out John Anniston – AND – James Reynolds of DAYS. 3. he returns with – only – his blue eyes… in a wheel chair and , shall we say.. MUTE ? at least drugged… Read more »
“Guttural grunts,” Patrick? LOL….you make Burton’s original recipe Jason sound like a complete Neanderthal! C’mon….he was never THAT bad…just a bit too non-verbal for those of us who actually enjoy characters who employ the use of regular dialogue and engage in the art of conversation! But I’m totally with you on the notion of turning the actor into a “Jason-faced” Prince Nicky….not a good fit in my book either!
I am sick to death of Carly and Sonny, too. The scenes of them in Jason’s hospital room talking to a bed were ridiculous-rehashed and just plain stupid. I don’t see them as a “super couple.” In my opinion, they are boring and trite.
Suddenly Sonny and Carly have become parents of the year……that, and the loving, ‘sturdy’ couple one wishes to one day be, Patrick. Astounding how these writers try to prop this out-of-Hades twosome. There is nothing salvageable about them. And, to add insult to injury, the word ‘Dad’ and ‘Son’ comes so easily from whimpy Michael’s and deflated mob-king Sonny’s mouths. It’s truly sickening. Then, there’s Sam…..wish I had understood what that monologue to her presumptive husband in hospital, was all about…..what was she rambling ?? Not only is the sotto-voce mumbling lacking variance in tone ( the well-known word: monotone),… Read more »
Yeah, I wish Steve had been Dr. Boronsky.
dmr…I NEVER SAW Sonny and Carly as a ‘super couple’…PERIOD!!!!! N-o-p-e.
Have a good one.
If Ava sees #6 with his full face mask off, will she recognize him? We believe her only interaction with Original Face Jason was when she hit him with the car, supposedly requiring the plastic surgery that introduced Billy Miller.
For a brief while, she did live at the Q mansion, so she might have seen photos of Jason Q from years ago.
Let’s not forget that Ava and her kid were squatting in the Quartermaine mansion for a while (when she was fraudulently claiming the Twit was an heir) and that she’s also spent a fair amount of time at Sonny’s house since Avery was born.
Are we supposed to believe she’s never seen an old picture of Jason??
“Tune in this Tuesday as Steve Burton Returns to General Hospital!” Okay, that was a lie. Here is the truth. “Tune in this Tuesday as Steve Burton’s eyes return to General Hospital at the 59 minute and 59 second mark!” I knew this would happen! It would have been great TV if the viewers didnt know about Burton’s return but we did and it fell flat! I get a funny feeling this is a sign of what is to come, FLAT! Fluke was horrible, Paul Hornsby was so bad and dont forget MAN LANDERS! I like Steve Burton. He seems… Read more »
And furthermore if were billy miller’s Jason seeing Nicholas Cassidine come back with my original face and body I’d be soooo pissed off ..REALLY? REALLY? NOBODY could find this clinic to help me but this dude gets my face and abs? ? Very bad story.
Agreed, Timmm. Fluke was just awful-too drawn out, creepy, and it fell flat. Making Paul Hornsby the serial killer made absolutely no sense. It was a quick way to just end the stupid storyline. Oh, and Man Landers-introducing more annoying characters to an already bloated cast-no thank you.
Amen to all three of your assertions, dmr! (Oh, and Timmmbo’s too!)
Exactly, dmr. As soon as this story started derailing, I said the same thing, at one point….FLAT!!
And, hoped it would not turn into another FlukeFlop.
The Man Landers storyline ( other that the-out-of-this-world storylines on PASSIONS–which was, at least, more or less a “fantasy soap” to me), is the most uninspiring, infantile, idiotic writing, ever. What the fudge?
Exactly Timmm. ABC used a lot of valuable promo time for Steve’s return and gave a specific date to tune in. The target audience for a vet like steve is long time viewers who have tuned out. So you promote a specific day and not only do you give them the eyes 59 minutes in, but you give then an episode full of Franco. The audience who might come back for Steve would be comprised of many who tuned out because GH became unrecognizable, filled with new actors and characters favored by Frank as so many vets, like Steve, disappeared.… Read more »
OLTL at GH!
does any one else feel a disjoint … vibe here of disconnect Franco is caught up in how his life went awry.. and how, because of this, he became this bad person ? now that in itself is stifling.. and enough ? yeah, i’m caught up in SB and BM .. how will they spin and turn ? it’s like Franco is really NOT NEEDED.. will he be the older brother ? which would at this point.. serve him better ? he’d at least have that to hover. now, these three – uninteresting – threesome “brothers” have to REEL something.… Read more »
Not interested. N-e-x-t……….
I need to speak my piece.. Having Steve enter looking like a masked dumbshite was a poor decision.. THERE IS NO DRAMA, no nothing… BLAH .. the writing of this hyped up story is absurd, dull-witted… dull, nothing to it to entice anyone to excitement. GH , the Real GH use to burst from intense drama, intense moments, intruge and on the edge suspense.. Sadly GH has been gutted and has no way back to its’ glory because of the horrible writers. Redeeming every darker exciting character has helped destroy GH. Ava spilling her life to a masked man was… Read more »
I know, Ava should be solely focused on her face but she is flirting with a “Psycho!” STUPID!
Maybe he turns her on, T. Remember, she’s attracted to freaks?!?! HaHa and LOL.
Hey, T, Rethinking what you said, in a more serious and “focused” tone…… LOL. Jimh had mentioned that MrMask could be Morgan. Either he or Nikolas may be a candidate. I mean, Ava was attracted to them both. So, perhaps some force is pulling her towards this ‘thing’; vegetable, mineral, or animal—-some ” magnetic” part of Nik or Morgan must be embedded into MrMask by Dr. Bronsky. A medical experiment? You know, T, my suggestion of a Dr Frankrnstein re-make isn’t so far-fetched. A science project? You said you wished Steve were Dr Bronsky….well, maybe he is. Could Faison be… Read more »
THIS IS WAY TO DRAGGED OUT…..TODAY OTHER STORYLINES???? I AM GETTING REALLY TIRED OF THIS SHOW AND WONDER WHY I AM SITTING HERE WATCHING!
LOL, JK….,I get it !!…. oh, how I get it…sigh.
I really like steven Burton when he played as Jason but after he left I really like Billy Miller, I stayed in Dallas Texas for a while and when I readed were he was from I really happen
I really like all of the fans on General Hosiptal This is the only Story I look at
Same “Old No Range Blue Eyes”. Didn’t need him… The good actors on the show will get shafted again.
He can only act what is written! Open your closed mind!
Don’t reply if you have to be nasty. The closed mind belongs to you if that’s where you have to sink. Please stay off my commentaries.
Will they find ask I bring out the cover up of who ran Jason (Jake) over. Can Tobin weigh in on this since she was the only one that knew where Jason was.
What are the changes its Morgan and he didn’t like hearing her talk like that v because he had loved her
I have come to loathe facial reconstruction surgery story lines anymore. And in Port Charles, so overdone. I am sad Genoa City dipped into that well a few times in the last decade.
I would better accept a returning actor in a new role.
Facial reconstruction, dopplegangers, DNA switches, brain tumors that change your personality, people coming back from the dead, especially when they’ve been shot and fell into water (Morgan, Jason, Nicholas), lying to your spouse until it blows up in your face… the list goes on and is used on every show. Clearly they think their audience has a low IQ or they wouldn’t keep recycling and would try to something original.
Also the old story-line of DID (dissociative identity disorder) -lol! Been waaaay overdone!
Hey, Yvonne,
I have been saying the same thing, ad nauseam. LOL.
Whoever falls and ‘drowns’ off Pier 54, never dies. There is a vortex buried within its watery depths with magic powers…everyone emerges on the other side alive and kicking……
….agreed…getting old and boring.
I want to believe the powers that be understand that this come back story has to epic, intriguing, mysterious and adventurous. Great long term story can come out of this
He is Jason and that’s ok he played him for 21 years I ever thought BM was a good stone cold let it be whey have his face covered like silence of the lambs is nuts! Billy Miller just does not have it in him to be a killer type that’s ok come on back when they finish up this storyline we would love to see Billy Abbott back! Not worth fighting about they call this show bios to me it would have been more fun if he had been a doctor etc etc but that’s not what they did
I think the Shiloh w is struggling I watched today in the doctors office and said yep he is Jason I wish them the best but it could have been so much better but Douglas Marland plus others he truly understood the soaps are gone I am sad for that.
The show oops!
I’ve read this theory online a couple times from others, but does anyone believe that maybe BM’s Jason Morgan is actually Jason Quartermaine(so the Jason before the car accident with AJ) and SB’s Jason is Jason Morgan “Stone Cold” but birth name maybe Andrew Quartermaine? I can’t remember-does BM’s Jason have any clear memories of life as a Quartermaine/his teen years? SB Jason doesn’t really correct? I started watching the show in 2007. I’ve been watching some of the old clips on youtube of Jason Q today and plan to watch more. I realize they are supposed to be one… Read more »
