Although I wish them well, and the photo was beautiful, albeit very staged, because who happens to have a photographer standing by to capture such a private moment? And if not staged then call me in a stick in the mud for believing some situations in life should remain private. I never understood this recent trend for everyone to post their most intimate moments on the web for all the world to see— what’s next a selfie of the two of you at the altar just before you exchange your I do’s? Shaking my head and very grateful I was born when I was, knowing my misbegotten youth is safely tuck away in my memory, and not on Google.
A simple I am happy for them would have been fine, why rain on their parade they are happy and wanted to share it with everyone may not be your cup of tea but we are in the age of the internet either get on board or be left behind. I for one think it was a beautiful picture, sentiment and not staged it was a moment to cherish & we as fans should be honored Jason allowed us to share his happiness.
Oh lighten up– JT never going to read my comment and I didn’t rain on anyone’s parade. I wasn’t voicing disapproval, just bewilderment. When my husband proposed to me it was in private, it was our moment, and I had no desire to share the details to anyone else, on the internet or otherwise. And you see him sharing that moment as an honor, I see it as publicity– and I can say so if I want to.
You certainly have the right to say so, however I don’t see it as a publicity stunt at all, that cheapens the moment and if you have ever met & spoken to JT you would know he is not like that at all. Since you value privacy so dearly next time don’t comment at all. do all of us all a favor who thought it was sweet & endearing and like say keep it private you are in the minority.
So let me get this straight– you believe I had a right to my opinion, but I shouldn’t express my opinion in case someone like you might not like what I say or I might say something that majority doesn’t agree with?
I am sorry but I am going to comment on any topic in anyway I want to– and you are free not to read them or any comment in case someone says something you don’t like to hear—-but I myself like to live in world where people don’t all think and feel like me, and despite in the way you when about it, I even respect your devotion to your soap star and your desire to defend his motives to me. If I was being too cynical, then note taken, but honestly I don’t understand if you are really happy for them why my comment should matter to you or how it ruin anything for anyone.
I am always open to reasonable debate, but I have no patience for the immature argument that says since I don’t like what you said you shouldn’t say it. Trust me, if you silence one person with that lame idea, one day someone will silence you with it—- and if you’re as young as you sound you will learn that the hard way, and if you are old enough to know better than you know what I am saying is true. Take care natalie JT should be honor to have a fan like you, who cares so passionately about him.
I can see you have an agenda so I don’t wish to engage with tit for tat. I am happy for them they are a beautiful couple so leave it at that don’t bother replying since this is my last comment on the subject especially to you, Your assumptions regarding me are so off the mark I feel sorry for you,
They’re not having sex Mary SF. “Such” moments as these? They’re beautiful, happy moments…of a celebrity…with a model (am I right, Michael? Is she a model or is that a different girl with the same name…)
The “Royals” have a public wedding. People videotape and post their vows, first dances, baby’s first steps, etc. This is not like airing “dirty laundry”….
I think Natalie responded, and now I have too, because you seemed to have SUCH a negative reaction to a great pic from a soap actor that most on this board like very much.
Obviously they had a photographer with them. Whether it was to post the pic publicly and/or just to save for their own memories…who cares?
Don’t you think every interview they do here and everywhere is for publicity? For themselves, for the shows they’re on? EVERY person in the media…who puts themselves in the media…do interviews and take pics and appear on talk shows…either to promote themselves or their project. It’s the name of the game. For you to take such offense seems like it’s the first time you’ve seen a celeb posting…well…anything.
I guess you’ve never been on Twitter. And I’m not telling you to do so…now THAT is the place where these people promote themselves. Almost everyone in the limelight gets on there…gathers up thousands…millions of as many followers as they can…posts pics of everything in their lives…just to further their own names/shows/albums/tours/, etc. It’s transparent…though I’m not sure ALL “fans” realize the motives behind it.
As for this pic of Jason…he’s obviously happy and in love and shared a beautiful moment. Not sure he’s that self-serving that he just didn’t want to share how lucky he feels.
As for responding to you, yes, we’re on a site to express our views. But don’t expect others to not respond not only to what Michael posts, but how others comments make us feel.
And when I said “with a model” I meant that I think his fiance IS a model…(though not sure of it) but I stand by my post regardless.
Thanks for the reply rebecca1– I am fully aware that when I post a comment on this site, anyone can reply to it. I have no problem with that, nor with people disagreeing with me. However, when they do it by attacking my character rather my point, or tell me I shouldn’t or can’t think or feel the way I do, and do it with attitude I draw the line, and respond in kind.
All natalie had to do was add a simple why to her statement. Why couldn’t you just be happy for them? Why did you feel it necessary to find fault in something as simple as a photo? I don’t understand why I can’t just once read some happy news without some negative nellie bitching about something. Don’t you realize when you do that it might spoil the mood for those us who just want to enjoy the moment with all favorite soap star?
If I had gotten that reply in my in box instead of one I did, which was full of attitude telling what I cannot or cannot say, I might have gotten her point. I would have been able to hear her, instead of being force to defend myself. I could have taken a moment and thought, wow, was I really being that negative– I thought I was making a general observation, but perhaps that article wasn’t the proper time or place to make it?
See it is all so simple. I am just asking people just take a moment to think about what it is they are upset about and what the real issue is and find a respectful, less confrontation way to state it. If you respect me, I will respect. But in the end yes they can respond in any manner they want, but if they do then they should not be shock or surprise if I call them on it, or give as good as I am getting.
But I truly wasn’t trying to question JT motives, just thought the picture was too professional looking to be the actual candid shot of the him proposing. Yet, you are right it doesn’t matter it was or it wasn’t. And as I stated in another post a dear friend of mine did explain this new cultural trend to post everything online — so I change my view on it.
So I do thank you for respectful comments, and since you too felt my comments were negative. I do get it. In the future before posting I will double check with myself to ask — is this truly the time and place to make this comment. But I am not going to censor what I think or feel, in fear someone might not like it. They are free not to like it, you can tell me you don’t like it and why, but you cannot tell me not to say it.
And thank you, Mary SF. I think it’s great when any of us, myself included, take the time to reflect on any altercation and see how it could have been handled differently. Wish more people did that offline as well.
No harm done. Unfortunately, as again…offline…different opinions and yes, the way they’re expressed cause conflict.
This site’s supposed to be fun. Hope we can all get past this and future “tiffs” and enjoy the site.
And yes…the way we talk to each other, on and offline, matters.
With that said…I think if our fictional soap peeps were all so nice and agreeable, we’d have no show! 😉
Wow congrats Jason, you are a very sexy man and terrific actor.
congrats Jason! what a beautiful picture! shes a lucky girl! you are truly one of the best actors on daytime when you cry in the emotional scenes it always gets me crying too!
love,health and happiness always

congrads and wishing you both all the happiness in the world
No one needs to feel sorry for me, but rather for the state of civil discourse that has sunk to the level where if one cannot defend or dispute a position in a respectful, thoughtful and logical manner they resort to attacking a person’s character, motivation, intentions and when all else fails their right to express their ideas, basically telling someone to shut up.
My only agenda was to defend myself against such unfair tactics, and to ask this person to think about what they are saying and how they are saying it, but instead of doing that, they again attack me personally and motivation and then walked away in huff, like a child about to lose a game of checkers who can do nothing but flip the board and say I don’t want to play anymore. I declare myself the winner and you’re the loser. This isn’t about winning or losing, or tit for tat as you called it, it is about understanding.
So I will not direct these comments to those who do not wish to understand my point of view, but to do those who might. My original post, wished this couple well. I remarked on the lovely picture and I wondered if it was staged for publicity. Not publicity like Lindsay Lohan, look at me, look at me kind, but as in PR. When a public person posts a picture like that on a public site, for the public, it is in fact a press release— so forgive me for wondering if the photo was the actual moment he proposed or did they recreated it for the press?
I admitted I did not know, and then I wondered if that was the actual moment, why a person would chose to share that with strangers? It is a valid question, not an attack on JT. There is a growing trend to share all the details of one life on line, it made me wonder where does one draw the line, and something becomes TMI? Then I ended with a lighthearted comment that I was glad the internet wasn’t around me when I was young because I didn’t want my life to be forever on line.
But then a dear friend of mine pointed out to me last night that is exactly why people do it. Before this age, the only people after they died who lives might be recorded and known in the future were only available to a small few, kings, statesmen, artists, like DaVinci, and Mozart. But with the internet, ordinary folks, folks whose lives may have only been known by small few and forgotten in a couple generations after their deaths, can now be preserve in cyberspace for as long as cyberspace exists.
My friend told me, if that was the actual moment, then what JT did was no different than what Shakespeare did when he composed a love sonnet for his lady love and then had it published. Now here it is hundreds of years later and people who never knew Shakespeare can experience a small part of who he was in his sonnet. And in hundreds of years from now, when no one even knows who JT was, they too can be moved and touched by this one moment he share, not with words, but through a single image.
So you see my fellow human beings, when someone explains it to me like that, in a way that makes sense, I too can understand, and change my view. So, I retract my earlier statement. My friend opened my mind about the internet being a brand new art form, a way to communicate not just today, but into the future, who we were, what we felt, what we valued. And that change of heart comes from honest and thoughtful discussion, not from personal attacks.
So to natalie if you are reading anyway, and if this is what you trying to tell me yesterday, but I couldn’t hear it because I was too busy defending myself from way you expressing yourself, instead of listening what you might have been saying, I sincerely apologize.
And to JT if on the off chance you are reading my comments, I meant what I said right off the bat, I do wish you well. Marriage is difficult, so I truly hope you and lady love stay as in love as this photo depicts. You are obviously a romantic, and if your love doesn’t mind you sharing that moment with everyone, who I am to judge. God speed.
Congrats to Jason and Paloma. I hope you guys will be very happy together. A lot of us knew you would get engaged but we thought it was going to be to Kimberly Mccullough but i am sure she is very happy for you both. Please lose the beard you look better without it. Hopefully Patrick and Robin will find their way back and be as happy as you and Paloma are. Congratulations!!!
Hello Paloma
Having lunch on our balcony with your mum who is very excited about her trip
Congratulations, and what a lucky man
Hope you have a great wedding and a wonderful life together
We will have a drink for you both here
much love

Kelly Sullivan Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’s’ Maura West Recalling When Ava Shot Connie (Exclusive)
It was just over 13 years ago on General Hospital when Ava Jerome (Maura West) shot and killed Kate Howard/Connie Falconeri (Kelly Sullivan) in an effort to keep her quiet from revealing that Derek Wells was actually Ava’s back-from-the-dead brother, Julian Jerome (William deVry). It’s a crime that somehow Ava never has quite paid for either.
The episode back aired on August 13, 2013 and viewers had to say goodbye to Kelly Sullivan who played Kate and her alter, Connie. In the story, just before she died, Kate/Connie scrawled the letters AJ in her own blood, initially making the PCPD and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) think that it was AJ Quatermaine (Sean Kanan) who did the deed.
Now, Sullivan recalled sharing scenes with the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning West, during a live conversation on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel. Kelly was the special guest talking about her recent return to the soaps in her new role as The Bold and the Beautiful’s Darcy Dylan.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF MAURA WEST
Speaking of her final GH scenes and working with Maura West, Sullivan gave her then GH co-star major props. “If you’re going to be shot by somebody (on the soaps), you want to be shot by Maura West, c’mon!”
Maura West debuted back in May 2013 as Ava, and Sullivan remembered when the As the World Turns favorite began on GH. “I remember when Maura West first arrived at GH. She walked in with this cute little bob (hairdo) and she’s just delicious,” shared Sullivan.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Kelly revealed more about Maura, adding “I think she’s amazing! I remember right before I left the show, someone suggested, and I would still love to do this with her, if she ever want to, but someone suggested that they wanted to direct the stage play A Streetcar Named Desire with Maura and I, where I would play Stella and she would play Blanche! Wouldn’t that be great?”
Speaking of the Ava/Connie showdown scenes, Sullivan expressed, “On television and on General Hospital specifically, Maura West is able to play a character who does the most horrendous things and you still care about her and that’s the mark of a really great actor. In other words, you’re able to be liked in the midst of the most horrendous things, and as a performer not shying away from that, and to just have the courage to do what’s on the page (in the script).”

KELLY SULLIVAN PARTING THOUGHTS AS SHE LEFT GENERAL HOSPITAL
Kelly also shared her sentiments when she walked off the set of General Hospital after her run back in August of 2013. “I really was honored. Every day I would go to work and I would say a little prayer, which is I want to do justice for my character, explained Kelly. “It’s between me and my character. I get to walk this path with her and to leave the show on that note, which is, I left every out there. I just gave it my all and again what an honor it was to play Kate/Connie.”
You can catch the full conversation with Kelly where she talks about her time on General Hospital, The Young and the Restless where she played Sage Warner and now The Bold and the Beautiful below.
So, do you remember the Ava and Connie scenes where Ava shot and killed her? What did you think of Kelly Sullivan’s sentiments about Maura West? Share your thoughts via the comment section. But first, watch the reveal where Ava recalls murdering Connie below!
The question of will Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) stay awhile at General Hospital after his recent extended hiatus from the show earlier this year, has reportedly been answered.
TMZ via court documents obtained in Burton’s ongoing legal battle with his ex-wife Sheree Gustin, shared that Steve actually inked a new three year deal with the ABC soap opera back in June.
That is significant because it was June when Burton returned back to work as Jason. In addition, the court filing confirmed that Burton had already moved back to California from Tennessee.

STEVE’S HIATUS AND HIS RETURN TO PORT CHARLES
GH fans will recall, it was back in February of 2026, that Burton announced via his Instagram that he was stepping away from his role of Jason Morgan for short break and pointed to wanting to spend quality time with his new wife, Michelle Lundstrom Burton with whom he tied the knot back on May 17, 2025.
Steve expressed at that time, “I’m newly married and looking forward to spending some quality time with my family.” It was back on March 25 that viewers saw Jason carted away by the WSB after taking the fall for Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) who shot then WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
Burton returned to work on June 1, and due to General Hospital taping roughly six weeks ahead of air, made his on-screen comeback on the July 13 episode.
GOING FOR GOLD AT THE UPCOMING DAYTIME EMMYS
Then, Steve and his enduring fans got an extra special treat on the same day, when it was revealed on Extra that he was nominated for the upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
Steve previously won in the Supporting Actor category for his work as General Hospital’s Jason in 1998 and as The Young and the Restless’ Dylan McAvoy in 2018.
Now with Jason and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship seemingly hitting the skids, plus Jason’s commitment to staying out of mob life to focus on being present for his son Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn), what does the future hold for the fan favorite character? Stay tuned.
So, happy to hear that Steve Burton signed a new three year deal with General Hospital? Knowing that, what storyline would you like to see Jason get involved and with who? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.
