Laura Wright on Steve Burton’s GH Homecoming: “Jason Coming Back Into Carly’s World, It Fires Up The Part of Carly That Fights For Him”
This week, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is back on the canvas on all-new episodes of General Hospital. Viewers got a taste of where Jason’s newest storyline may be heading on the Monday, March 4th episode of the ABC daytime drama series.
On Tuesday, March 5th, GH released a video of Steve Burton’s first day back on the set to coincide with his on-screen return. Juxtaposed with clips, the three people most intertwined in story together over the years, Burton, Laura Wright (Carly) and Maurice Benard (Sonny) each share their perspectives on what having Jason back in story means to their characters and more.
Laura Wright shared on Steve’s GH homecoming “It’s perfect, it’s home, it’s safety.” When speaking of Carly and Jason’s enduring relationship as friends or as a romantic couple, Wright expressed, “Jason coming back into Carly’s world, it fires up the part of Carly that fights for him, that believes in him, and is next to him no matter what, and not everybody can handle that.”

We can only assume when Laura notes that not everybody can handle that, she is referencing Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) who is Jason’s brother. With Drew becoming a bit more unhinged of late, will the news of Jason’s return make him jealous?
Speaking on why Steve and Jason are so special to the cast and the story, Wright expressed, “It’s the same thing that connects us all to Steve, and I love this so much. It’s Jason and Steve, their integrity. The character of Jason will die for for the ones he loves, and that is something all of us would love to have and not everybody does. But, we understand and connect to it, because it’s something that we want.”

Burton weighed-in on this latest version of Jason, “I’m approaching the character differently. I was able to sit down with the head writer who talked about what really happened, what state of mind it is for Jason, and it was very helpful.”
Fans are waiting to see, just what is going on with Jason after being buried under a rubble underground and surviving in 2021, and just who found him and what if anything they did to him. “I think it’s always the misunderstood guy, who works from a lot of pain,” Burton added on the depth of playing Sonny’s favorite hit man. “Jason is very loyal to the people he loves, and will be there for them no matter what. I think people can relate to that or would love that in their life. Beside the criminal activity, he’s a pretty solid guy.”

Maurice Benard also weighed-in on Jason’s character, noting, “It’s the bad boy you want to fix. But he’s a different bad boy, obviously than I am. He’s a sweeter bad boy. The character is a very honest character who has a lot of integrity. I think people connect with that and Steve’s a damn good actor. From what I’ve already played it’s pretty intense, that’s all I can say.”

Now let us know, do you hope Carly and Jason get back together as a couple, or do you want them to just be best friends? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
I want Jason and Carly to be a couple
They have no chemistry and bring off a sibling like energy. Together, they are repugnant.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the actors have no chemistry. Sarah Brown’s version of Carly or/and even Tamara’s version of Carly would make a Jason/Carly work.
Laura’s a great actress but a tough actress to pair a receptive screen partner, which can limit where Carly can go.
Jax and Carly surprisingly worked
Sonny and Carly hasn’t worked since Laura’s tenure, lets be honest about this.
You’re singing my song. Of course I agree.
Cool beans!!!!
Omg!! The Jarly romance must happen!!
Lost me ! Again this have to turn in card for Jason
I’m calling it right now, Carly dumps Drew, and gets back with Jason, and the odds are that Sam might want Jason back, so she’ll end up dumping Dante, and fight with Carly for Jason’s Heart, All the classic earmarks of a love triangle.
I hope not; where would Sam’s pride be? He made Carly a priority over her their entire lives, til the very end. She and Dante are great together. I hope they don’t screw that up with Jason’s return or Lulu’s if/when they bring her back.
I don’t think Jason would do that to Sonny. Bro Code.
First impression – if these are the new writers – an increase in the violence and crime – in one episode guns and knives and Laura knocking Heather in the head? Dante shot… GH had done fairly well toning down the un-needed violence on air,… maybe they will be adding a public service announcement at the end of each episode… No real guns or knives were used in the making of this episode….
See? This right here is what is wrong with GH. For Laura Wright to feel comfortable enough to repeatedly use the phrase,” Carly’s World” on social media demonstrates that the Carly- centric storylines aren’t just the writers’ fault. She brings that smugness and arrogance to how she interprets this role. Carly as played by her predecessors, was an interesting, deeply insecure and scrappy person. Now she’s just a smirking and gloating and ultimately uninteresting character. Carly delivers these self-grandiose speeches that strike a discordant note with her actions. Now it seems apparent that playing Carly isn’t much of a stretch for Wright.
Carly and Jason friends forever, always and only please!
Keep them as friends. Their romance was very uncomfortable.
I hear ya. Very uncomfortable indeed.
I want Jadon and Carly as friends
Do not put him with her. So tired of Carly
Jason and Carly do better as best friends. Since 2004 I fell in love with Jason and Sam… They just seem to fit.. No matter what happens they always seem to find their way back to each other and I hope that they do again…!
You may get your wish. They’ll be having to spend time together discussing their son’s recent actions.
General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Drew and Willow Have Their Long-Awaited Showdown; Only She Gains the Upperhand and the End of Their Marriage

Finally, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) can walk and talk and chew gum all at the same time as he shows up at the front door of his house, much to the dismay of his wife, Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen).
Drew just survived a murder attempt by Willow’s mother, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros), only an unknowing Gio (Giovanni Mazza) jumped into the lake to bring Drew to safety, after Nina tried to rid the world of him by pushing the former congressman in his wheelchair into the water to hopefully drown, but it all backfired.
Now at the Cain residence, Drew taunts Willow, that he could not wait to see his “loving wife!” Willow, who shot Drew and got off on an attempted murder charge, who then turned to a paralytic drug and Sidwell (Carlo Rota) to keep Drew out of her life, was quickly shushed when she started to explain herself while in fear for her own life.

AN ENRAGED DREW THREATENS WILLOW WITH INTENTIONS TO MAKE HER LIFE A LIVING HELL
Drew stated, “I have listened to you for so long, and all I could do was just sit there and blink like a desperate idiot. Now it’s my turn. Go ahead, blink all you want while you still can.” Next, Drew actually tells Willow he can almost understand her reasoning for shooting him after she snapped, but he helped the jury get her off of the charges and she still drugged him and kept him a “prisoner in his own body” for months.
However, Willow’s fears of being killed on the spot get a reprieve when an angered Drew tells her, ”I’m Not Going to Kill You, But You’re Going to Wish I Did.” With rage and a smug smile, Drew informs Willow that he will tell her kids, Wiley and Amelia, what a psychopath she truly is, and then flaunts how Michael (Rory Gibson) will get full custody of her their children because she will be serving a life prison sentence.
Suddenly, Nina and Jack (Chris McKenna) burst in the front door as Jack holds a gun on Drew. Nina wants Jack to shoot Drew. Jack then reveals he doesn’t have to because he has the evidence right in his pocket on how Drew misappropriated federal funds designated for the McConkey Esplanade to instead fund his congressional campaign.

SAVED BY THE EVIDENCE
Telling Drew the first deed is a federal crime, Jack had more goodies on Drew. He informs Drew that there is evidence that he blackmailed the receptionist at the burn clinic in Germany to prevent Willow from speaking with Michael about custody of their children. Jack also claimed to have evidence that Drew bribed Judge Heran, who eventually wound up dead in the pier.
An angered and enraged Drew threatened to bring all three of them down, but Jack reminded Drew that his crimes held a minimum sentence of 20 years each.
Willow then played her own game with Drew warning if he went to prison for decades, he would lose his daughter Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) forever who will then be raised with Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn), and Nina sniped that Tracy (Jane Elliot) and Michael would have a field day over Drew being locked up for most of his life.
FREEDOM
Next, Willow tells Drew nothing needs to change, and all he needs to do is agree to a divorce. Nina piled on that he cannot run for congress again or take back Willow’s seat, while Jack toyed with him that he could release the evidence that he has against him at any point in time.
Willow follows Jack and Nina out the front door, but before she exits removes her wedding rings and drops them on the floor, saying “freedom.” However, now alone in his house, Drew snipes, “Enjoy it while it lasts, you treacherous bitch!” We fade to black.
So, what did you think of the upshot of the highly-anticipated scenes where Drew and Willow would have it out? Were you pissed off that Drew didn’t try to murder Willow, or do something to her and Nina for what they did to him?
Glad that Willow and Drew ended their marriage and it seems like everyone is going to keep silent about everything? Does that feel like payback? Or, will Drew as he threatened, plan something heinous to pay back Willow, Nina and Jack? Share your thoughts via the comment section, but first take another look at some of the confrontation scenes from today’s GH below.

‘General Hospital’s Kayden Brenna Tokarski Featured in Cast of Biopic ‘Bruton’

Kayden Brenna Tokarski, who thus far has been impressive as the aged-up Scout Cain on General Hospital, has also been busy over the last few year working in Indie films and more.
Now comes word that Kayden is part of the ensemble cast of the new biopic Bruton based on the life of Bryan Bruton, who was sentenced to a decade in a Florida prison for an unintended crime and briefly escaped. The film is set to bow in August at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland.
According to the loglines per Deadline, Bruton follows a “charismatic hustler whose life is upended after one devastating mistake lands him in a Florida prison. Behind bars, he transforms incarceration into an economy all its own, building businesses, navigating impossible circumstances, and discovering the cost of a life spent chasing the next score. Blending humor, heart, and high-stakes drama, the film offers a fresh take on one of America’s most unforgiving systems.”
WHO IS IN THE CAST OF ‘BRUTON’ ALONGSIDE KAYDEN BRENNA TOKARSKI?
Tokarski is part of the cast which also features: Theo Rossi in the lead role plus Aya Cash, Tammy Blanchard (ex-Guiding Light), Tony Hale, Ronnie Gene Blevins, and Aaron Quick Nelson.
Taking to X when seeing the news on her upcoming film performance made public, Kayden expressed, “Couldn’t be more grateful to be part of this movie and for the world to see it!”
Bruton is produced by Demetrius Stear of A Mind’s Eye and Ryan J Francis of EverBright Pictures, with Colin Bates, Kris Dorrance, Vincent Grashaw, and Nicholas Carmona rounding out the production team.
Tokarski made her GH debut just over a week ago on the July 20th episode as the daughter of Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and the late Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco).
So, intrigued to see more of Kayden’s work in different roles too, now that you have seen her for a bit as General Hospital’s Scout Cain? Let us know via the comment section.
General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Drew Emerges from Nina’s Murder Attempt Ready to Confront Willow

At the conclusion of the Monday, July 27 episode of General Hospital, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) showed up at the front door of his house much to the shock and dismay of his wife, Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen).
The major turn of events, where for the first time in months, Drew is no longer in a locked-in state thanks to the paralytic drug that Willow and her mother Nina (Cynthia Watros) have been serving him, could mean the end for Willow, but will it?
Viewers learned that as Nina was in freak-mode with Jack (Chris McKenna) after pushing Drew in his wheelchair into the lake surrounding the Quartermaine boathouse, that Gio (Giovanni Mazza) found him in the water and saved him. Nina is mortified.

Meanwhile, Willow has just returned from the PCPD where she was brought in for questioning by Chase (Josh Swickard), about her dealings with Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota), just as she was trying to sneak out of town with Amelia and Wiley in tow.
As Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Molly (Kristen Vaganos) question Willow on her involvement with Sidwell, Willow gets mighty defensive and offended, while putting on her game face. After she walks out on the interrogation, she heads back to her home, so she can gather her belongings and flee the country.
Little does Willow know, Jack made a deal with Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), and recovered the missing black box which contains the dossier on Drew so he, Nina and Willow, all have leverage to hold over Drew.

Back at the Cain residence, Willow is gathering things off the living room floor when she sees muddy footprints. Suddenly, the front door opens and shuts. Willow turns around and see a soaking wet Drew with rage all over his face! We fade to black.
Today in the official GH preview of the Tuesday, July 28 episode (see below), Drew says to Willow, “I am so excited about what comes next.” Plus, look for Jason (Steve Burton) and Carly (Laura Wright) to finally see each other after Jason’s captivity by the WSB for months.
So, what else will Drew say to Willow? Do you think he has been affected by the long term use of the paralytic drug? Does he have amnesia? Does he know full-well everything Willow and Nina did to him, and will tell Willow how he is going to destroy her life? What do you hope goes down?
