General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Dante is Shot as Jason Reveals Himself
Just how was General Hospital going to reintroduce the character of Jason Morgan to the canvas with the highly-anticipated return of Steve Burton in the pivotal role? Well, why we don’t have all the answers, the show wasted no time, and Burton first appeared at the beginning of the Monday, March 4th episode.
In story, while Sonny (Maurice Benard), Selena (Lydia Look) and Ava (Maura West) are at the warehouse, they are facing off with the FBI and the PCPD when John (Adam J. Harrington), Anna (Finola Hughes), Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), Chase (Josh Swickard) et al show up. Meanwhile on the roof, a man kneels over a skylight window who pipes up with, “it appears they are late to the party.” It’s then revealed just who the man is talking to, and it turns out it’s JASON!
Meanwhile, John and Anna are questioning Sonny and Selina on what they are doing in the warehouse. Selina says they are planning a poker game. Next, the man with Jason aims his gun at Sonny. However, Jason messes up his shot, but the shot rings out. Inside the warehouse everyone scatters about. They realize the show came from the skylight.

Jason tells the other man they’ve been compromised and need to leave the location. Below, in the warehouse, Dante thinks that he and Chase can get onto the roof since the shooter didn’t see them. So, Dante takes off with Chase to find the culprit. In the meantime, John orders a CSI unit. Next, Chase returns and says the building is all clear and Dante is pursuing the suspects.
Now on the pier, Dante catches up with Jason (who’s back is to him) and the other man. Dante orders them to freeze. While the other man gets away, Jason stays put and Dante orders him to turn around slowly with his hands up. Dante is shocked to see its Jason. Confused, Dante says, “What the hell?” Next, the other man returns and fires two shots into Dante’s chest.

As Dante goes down, Jason runs over to him. The other man calls Jason “Jacobs” and tell him to leave the cop to die. Jason tells the other man to go to the planned site and he will find another way out. Next, the man attempts to fire at Jason who is hovering over Dante, but Jason shoots at him first and takes him out.
Back at the warehouse, Ava sees a bullet hole in Sonny sleeve, as John says that it confirms that Sonny is the intended target. John and Sonny stare each other down due to their dark past. It’s clear that Sonny doesn’t trust John and vice-versa. Anna tells Sonny she is not out to get him and doesn’t want him to die. She adds that Sonny, “Must have had an angel on his shoulder because she doesn’t see how that sniper missed from this range.”
Chase returns to the warehouse having dropped everyone off at the PCPD, but says Dante hasn’t checked in with him. Sonny looks very concerned, as Jason is looking very concerned over Dante’s body.
So, what did you think of the first episode back for Steve Burton as Jason Morgan? Will it be revealed that he has been infiltrating this organization to save Sonny? Does Jason not know his true identify? What do you think is going on? As for Dante, will he pass out from his injuries and not identify Jason was even there on the roof with him? Comment below.
Dante was wearing a vest so his wounds shouldn’t be life threatening. Worst case scenario is that the impact of the bullets might have hit in just the right spot to fracture a rib and puncture a lung, which would explain why he seemed to have difficulty breathing. He should pull through OK in the end, and it’s unlikely he would go into a coma but… it is a soap, so Hell only knows.
Since the now dead gunman appears to be the same guy that was working with Brennan, it would appear that Jason has infiltrated “Pikeman” for some reason. The question is… why? And considering who should be running Pikeman (Alcazar), how could Jason get inside such an organization without their boss knowing about it?
I thought sure he had on a vest too, but how were the bullets able to penetrate?
With the high powered gun a sharp shooter would have, fired at close range, could penetrate.
The high powered sniper rifle was left on the roof. He shot Dante with a handgun, but apparently had armor piercing bullets. Not all that surprising that a mercenarty thug would use that kind of ammo.
Didn’t know about those Armor piercing Bullets before your info but got a good lesson on one of my favorite shows, SWAT last night, thanks.
Armor piercing bullets
I don’t think they penetrated -they were just so powerful they caused massive internal injuries
I don’t think Alcazar is coming back.; Ted King mentioned just the other day he was going out on auditions. So unless he’s trying to throw his fans off, it doesn’t seem likely he’s returning. I’m disappointed; soap media has been hinting at his return for a few years now.
They could think they brainwashed Jason; have him under their control. They know exactly who he is and they think he’s an asset who is working with them, when in actuality he’s been preventing their take-down of Sonny all along.
The other gunman fired at the same time Jason fired, so did he also get shot? The other guy called him Jacobs. I just realized Jake’s given name is Jacob Martin. I’m excited to see this story unfold.
That’s why his son is called Jake I think?
Jason was likely wounded. A couple weeks ago there was a vague spoiler about “somebody from the past” showing up at Elizabeth’s door looking for help. So it makes sense that Jason might seek medical attention from his favorite nurse, rather than go to the hospital and risk being arrested. Though he hasn’t actually done anything to be arrested for, at least this time around. He did take the Pikeman guy out, but that was a clearcut case of self defense.
yes Jason got shot………it shows him with blood on his hand
Please don’t drag this on.
Lol.. it has only been one show so far
22 days later – still going on
So, we’re supposed to suspend belief that two major mob bosses scheduled a meeting in a room with skylights and none of their security guarded the roof?
Sonny had somebody guarding the roof. He just didn’t know about it.
Very lack luster episode. Hopefully it will start to get more exciting! I’m so disappointed I was looking forward to Jason returning with a big bang!
Love, love, love Ava and Sonny !! Finally, some chemistry on GH.
Yes, they are both scum but classy scum – the most compatible match for both of them yet
What I don’t understand is on Monday’s episode Dante had a bullet vest on, and appeared the wind was knocked out of him hard. Tuesday’s episode opens with no vest, and blood coming out of his mouth, what happened in-between the two shows?
Jason might have taken Dante’s vest off so he could get to the wound and try to stop the bleeding. Just my guess… this episode hasn’t aired down here in Hell yet.
And Chase tell the paramedics ” multiple gun shot wounds to the chest” I recall only one gun shot. Lol..
That puzzled me too. I think Dex told police when he and Joss found him, he had his vest folded and he was laying on it.
Where is the body of the man Jason shot when he shot Dante. Dex and Joclyn and Chase didn’t see him? The roof was surrounded. This story has more holes then what they shot into Dante’s chest!!
Jason said when he went back to look for it the body was gone – most likely taken by who ever is running this clown show – it took me 23 days just to figure this much out
Yes, he had a vest but the armor piercing bullets were so powerful they caused massive internal damage

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL
Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.
The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.
In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”
So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
