‘General Hospital’s’ Steve Burton Shares Reaction to His Lead Actor Daytime Emmy Nomination, ‘It Was to Honor Leslie Charleson’

The 53rd Annual Daytime Emmy Award nominations kicked-off on Monday with the announcements of four major categories including, Outstanding Lead Performer in a Daytime Drama Series — Actor, and among the nominees is General Hospital’s Steve Burton (Jason Morgan).
Burton is already a two-time Daytime Emmy winner in the Supporting Actor category for his roles as GH’s Jason and his turn as Dylan McAvoy on Y&R. However, Steve is yet to win in the Lead Actor category and he has received 11 nominations along the way in his daytime career.
Following the reveal that he is a 2026 Daytime Emmy nominee, he and his GH co-star, podcast co-host and comedy show partner, Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) taped a special edition of their That’s Awesome podcast just featuring Burton’s reaction to the news.

FOR LESLIE CHARLESON
Steve expressed, “I know it’s such a cliche to say, ‘I’m just so honored to be nominated.’ But truly, I’m so grateful to be nominated, so grateful to just be on the show off and on for 30 plus years and to be nominated with the guys in my category. Just to get the opportunity. Frank (Valentini, executive producer, GH) texted me right away. I was just like, ‘Thank you for the opportunity to get to do what I do.'”
Taking in the moment, Burton thanked those who helped him select the material for his nominated reel. “Unless you win, you don’t get to say things. So. I’m going just say a few things: Elizabeth Korte (co-head writer, GH) helped me a lot with the material, (as did) Michelle Henry, who’s a producer on the show, Laura Wright (Carly, GH), and then my wife Michelle (Lundstrom). I believe it was Jill Phelps who told me that when A Martinez felt like he had a great show or great scenes, he would mark it down. So, when Emmy time comes, you have all the show numbers written down, and you don’t have to think about it, because that’s half the battle (finding the material).
Burton explained how meaningful this nomination is for him, because of playing the scenes of Jason losing Monica, and his closeness with the late, great Leslie Charleson.
“The nomination’s an amazing thing, and it’s beautiful, but really it’s to honor Leslie Charleson. A lot of my material was because of her, and how I started on the show as a Quartermaine, it just means a ton,” shared Burton. “Maurice Benard (Sonny, GH) has obviously has been instrumental, and I’ve said it from day one and I’ll shout it from the rooftops. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be here, and to be working with the people that we work with is incredible.”

SHOULD JOHN OLIVER BE NAMED HOST OF THE DAYTIME EMMYS?
During the end of his conversation with Anderson, Steve suggested that the host of the Daytime Emmy should be Last Week Tonight’s John Oliver, who recently guest starred as the head of the WSB named Z on General Hospital, and is soon to show up on Days of Our Lives in a mystery role in August.
Thus far, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has not revealed their host for the upcoming ceremony to be held on October 30 in a venue to be named in Hollywood, California.
You can watch Steve sharing his reaction to receiving his 2026 Lead Actor Daytime Emmy nomination below on a special segment on the That’s Awesome podcast.
Now let us know, are you glad that Steve chose scenes surrounding Jason mourning the loss of the woman that raised him, Monica Quartermaine for his Emmy reel? What do you think of John Oliver as a suggestion to host the Daytime Emmys? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

‘General Hospital’ Marks Unprecedented 16,000th Episode Milestone with New Cast Photo

Today’s Monday, July 13 episode of General Hospital marks it 16,000 episode to air on the ABC television network. It is a remarkable milestone. The previous television record was held by Guiding Light which clocked in at 15,762 episodes before it went off the air on CBS in 2009.
To mark the occasion, the cast, crew and creative team of General Hospital celebrated with a cake-cutting ceremony on the Prospect Studios lot in Los Angeles back on Monday, June 1, 2026.
In addition, GH has released a new cast photo taken the day of the on set celebration. Pictured in the photo are front row: Rory Gibson, Finn Carr, Kayden Brenna Tokarski, Asher Antonyzyn, Giovanni Mazza, Braedyn Bruner, Dean Geyer and Nathan Dean.
Featured in the back row are: Tabyana Ali, Eden McCoy, Josh Swickard, Kristen Vaganos, Rebecca Herbst, Dominic Zamprogna, Alexa Havins, Cameron Mathison, Brooke Kerr, Cynthia Watros, Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Jane Elliot, Maurice Benard, Laura Wright, Maura West, Donnell Turner, Nancy Lee Grahn, Tanisha Harper, Kelly Thiebaud, Kristina Wagner, Lynn Herring, Chris McKenna, Katelyn MacMullen and Sawandi Wilson.
In addition, the official GH social media handles shared these sentiments along with some other photos from the cake cutting: “Today’s episode of General Hospital is the 16,000th produced since the show’s inception in 1963. It’s a milestone we couldn’t let pass by without taking some time to celebrate as a family (and, of course… eating some cake). 🍰 We hope you enjoy watching it as much as we did making it.”
WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON THE 16,000th Episode?
The 16,000th episode will feature Jason Morgan returning to the town of Port Charles, Anna and Valentin (James Patrick Stewart) reuniting, and a new surgeon, Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) joining the staff of ‘General Hospital.’
GENERAL HOSPITAL HOLDS SEVERAL RECORDS
Now in its 64th year, Emmy Award-winning daytime drama General Hospital is currently both the longest-running scripted American drama and the longest-running American soap opera currently in production.
General Hospital holds the record for the most Outstanding Daytime Drama award wins, taking home the prestigious Daytime Emmy Award a record 18 times. Will they do it again and make it 19 in 2026? Stay tuned for the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy nominations tomorrow on Tuesday, July 14 to find out if GH will be going for gold in the category, once again.
The ABC daytime drama series was created by Frank and Doris Hursley and premiered back on April 1, 1963. Frank Valentini is the current executive producer with Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten are the show’s co-head writers.
General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC and streams on Hulu.
What do you think of the new cast photo marking General Hospital’s 16000th episode? What do you think of the accomplishment to have that many episodes of a television show and its still thriving and kicking? Share your thoughts and congrats for everyone in front of the camera and behind the scenes on this milestone airing.

Michael, I enjoyed your radio show last night. It was so great to hear from your three guests And how lucky were those call-ins to be able to speak with JP, Kristen, and Melissa. Each one was very out going in their reparte’ with the guests. I do have to say though, I tried to call many times and couldn’t get through. But I did listen to the full 2 hours and thought they were very easy to talk to for those that were able to get through.I understand that your show was number one on that network. The show was very fortunate to have you and your soap expertise. OLTL was my favorite soap. The last 2 episodes were written and played beautifully. Bravo to Ron and the actors. It couldn’t have been easy to finish your lines, knowing that it was the finale to many, many years and involvement in the greatest soap of all time, in my estimation. I shed tears and laughed and smiled, but I was not happy at all. Thank you,Michael, for caring so much about OLTL, and all the work you do to inform us and tell the stories and the inside scoops. I wiil be wating to see what is happening next….
just listening to the music makes me want to cry.As i am listening to this I Hear how so many feel the same as I do.I wish my grandmother and my best friend linda who I started watching with, both who are gone now ,could be with me now ,Its a part of my, one life to live ,Its so sad.I hope the gh fans,I am one to ,will not get mad at me ,but I agree that abc canceled the wrong show and Ive also said maybe thats why frons was let go ,someone didnt do there homework ,I watched all the abc soaps and one life to live is the best show ever, No other show will be number 1 for me,the cast ,the writing ,brilliant,and I have to say this, yea victor is alive todd is not a killer.Tomorrow will be a very hard ,43 years I have watched ,thats a long time ,there is nothing to do at that time ,its been filled with such joy and the best drama, love ,comedy ,and now ,nothing to fill the 2 hours I spent in landview and pine valley.This is real.its over I cant say that we have 1 more day ,the one day is over .since all my children went off the air I have begun my quest to remove abc from my television ,I watched the 2 soaps that were left ,now there is one,and abc continues to ignore what all the soap fans are saying we dont want those trashy cheap shows ,we want our soaps back if not ,we watch general hospital,one hour a day ,thats it .and abc you cant lie ,a shitload of us one life to live fans,we will be watching,so you cant lie about the ratings,and tell us the chew and the revolution beat one life to live ,it wont happen ,and katie couric ,FORGET IT.43 years of history ,gone ,because of abcs greed,I hope the money feels good .but abc will never be a class network again ,its to far gone.

Trevor I think you did Todd the best!! You had the moves, facial expressions and I just think you played it perfect. I know the long die hard fans watched Roger back and he’s okay but he is certainly no Trevor St. John. Thank you for all the years you played such a wonderful Todd.
(Barb, I didn’t know U were nearby. We got to get together for lunch toward our movement). Lol
This I got off another forum….is there truth to this Michael or any possibility??
‘Hey Guys,
Remember the hints I gave you yesterday about the two more on their way to GH from OLTL? Many of you guessed Trevor St John (especially after what I reminded you about today along with the hints from yesterday). I told you again and again that Victor was not dead, Todd did not kill him, and that you would see him again before the show closed (we have come full circle today). Dry those eyes my fellow Trevor St John fans.. You will have reason to smile here very soon! You heard it here first (get ready)!’
XOXO!
I usually believe NOTHING from this columinst, however is it too much to ask for egg on my face and have this come true?? Thoughts?? ‘
I read this to ,I hope it is true ,been searching everywhere for any news for one life to live,and I keep comming back here because, I feel right at home.and at 2 oclock tomorrow it will be very strange not to make my daily visit to landview,I am very sure I will not be alone ,so right here is where I will be,michael i loved your radio interview call in ,there are no words to say ,keep up the abc fight ,give agnes nixon her stories back ,theres so much to do,I cant give up.
Hey barb; See you been busy today, voicing your opinions. I just got back in. Funny, you said you will be here tomorow at 2pm. U have to tell people since you post allot to send soap to abc and canel cable for a Dish (Disney channels make no money) Facebook petition, and list the telephone number. Do a copy/past from mind and place it in your draft inbox, and go to it when you post on here, post it, and than finish whatever else you are writing above. We gota keep this message Hot and alive.
Deb, a few things:
1. What did you remind them of today, bc I dont see a post for that.
2. You gave hints, yesterday?
3. Where did you get your hints from? Who is this columist you are speaking of, that you believe nothing from?
4. When and WHO said 2 more were on their way to General Hospital? I have not heard that anywhere.
Can you answer all 4 please? Yes, I’M A DIE HEART, Trevor St. John fan if you have been reading my post. And it’s bc he is just an awesome actor. He had an impossible role to fill playing Todd, and the fans gave him a rough time in the beginning. But he hung in there with us, and we hung in there with him. He made Todd GROW UP, and changed the entire recipe of Todd. AND now whomever replaces him/ his role as Todd is going to have a Hellava hard time filling the shoes as TSJohn asTodd. And that means R. Howarth. When you (as an actor) rise to the ocassion of such a complicated character, and play it MORE COMPELING than the original, you have NOW made the original (R. Howarth’s) job impossible. And thats means your a awesome MF. By the time TSJ finished with “us” and Todd… HE ” was” the original Todd, and Roger Howarth has come to play the recast. LMAO. That’s how its seems, I’m NOT being facetious! I study Howarth, just as we all would study a recast. This is real talk, not make believe.
For the Record: Just because Victor is alive, DOESN’T mean Todd didn’t shot him! It JUST MEANS that Todd didn’t KILL him. Because the shooter intented for him to die.
What r u talking about reminding who of what??
You gave hints yesterday?? What does that mean??
You are making NO sense. I owe nobody an explanation.
I simply quoted something from Raven.
Curious?? Go check out her column.
Her columns are usually right.
Raven??
Whose columns?????? You answered BUT failed to answer the questsion that I was asking. Whose columns???????
I want to know to ,I read it on facebook dont remember where ,one of the soap sights and I think the person was writing for someone else,so i have no clue who the writer is but I did see it ,word for word as deb says .called abc again I wonder if they listen to there voice mail.Ill go there again tomorrow ,I also went to a news place they were talking about the revolution and we are like hamsters ,well that pissed me off so gave them a piece of my mind in a nice way of course,saying abc will never get me to watch there crap tv.also brought the agnes nixons story being held hostage ,Ive had a very busy day, and will have a busy day tomorrow.
Raven’s. She stated that TSJ would be going to GH but nothing official has been confirmed by the network.
Raven is not a reliable source. She’s just speculating like the rest of us are doing on a daily basis.
So what that she was right about All My Children and One Life to Live being cancelled. She just predicted what many have predicted would happen.
Below is the “who and what”, I am talking about. You wrote below, you gave hints yesterday. I, am simply asking hints from where, whom, and where did you get the hints from. I am following the conversation from your written words below. Therefore it you dont have the answer’s to your OWN post, quite frankly, you are making NO sense! You’re on here conversating, conversing, giving information WE ARE ALL SEEKING, and then you have the NERVE to say, U “owe nobody no explanation! ” What? Then don’t give information that leads into a discussion. Now THAT MAKES SENSE. All you had to reply was ” The columnist is Raven, I was quoting Raven. ” That’s it! You can’t recall your own post! The negative banter was unnecessary. And you should have added Raven’s name after it, so no one would contact you back thinking you gave hints etc, yesterday. For the record, Deb, when you Quote someone you add THEIR name to it. That’s English Computation 101 (if you ever heard such a thing). I quote people on here and add their NAME so it’s clear that I am not saying it, therefore I will get no inquiries back! Eat Cheese!
Isn’t this your post?:

Are you human??
Your not too bright. If you see where there are quotes, that is someone else talking.
The entire post was someone else talking.
Wouldn’t it have been easier just to ask where the post came from instead ‘numbering’ points to me??
Go take your meds.
Eat Cheese and be “Raven” mad.
(See, my work, this is what I am talking about).

Sorry, I dont see any quotation marks. What I see is a single puntuation. this> ‘
From Wikipedia:
” The apostrophe ( ’ , often rendered as ‘ ) is a punctuation mark, and sometimes a diacritic mark, in languages that use the Latin alphabet or certain other alphabets.”
In English writing, quotation marks or inverted commas (informally referred to as quotes or speech marks)[1] are punctuation marks surrounding a quotation, direct speech. Quotation marks are written as a pair of opening and closing marks.”
Ok, you have “Hey guys” on a separate line, as IF you are the speaker. The quote which U claim isn’t even VISUAL until the end of your paragraph. If you’re quoting someone, it should all be on the same line for clarity if you want to get technical. And according to Wikipedia, U used a punctuation mark. Nonetheless, my post was nice, not affensive. U replied offensive. Moreover, BUT MOST IMPORTANT, since U are using punctuation as quotes, it would make sense to your READER if you had the paragraph ALL on the same line, BC ” Hey Folk” seems AS IF you are addressing us on the site. In addition, if you are going to QUOTE someone, IT WOULD BE NICE TO ADD THE SOURCE, who, and name them, and THAT REALLY is the bottom line. As a writer, you can’t assume for your reader, THEY are not informed unless U tell them, and U DID NOT. Finally, someone else on here barbara t, posted that “she would like to know too.” And no it wasn’t “easier to ask where the post came from” BC you didn’t make it clear that it was a post. U gave no SOURCE for your quotes in two different paragraphs (which I am willing to give U half credit for bc they are ACTUALLY punctation marks. IF it was clear to you that I didn’t know it was a post, All you had to reply was , “The columnist is Raven, I was quoting Raven. ” I didn’t attack you. I even asked you, could you answer all 4 please and then went into having (what I thought was a conversation with you). And you send me back a smart remark, and attacks since that one. When people are wrong they usually begin to attack. U must of not got LAID today, or your alcohole has run dry. Nonetheless, GO GET AN EDUCATION, and get some MANNERS WHILE YOUR AT IT. My ORIGINAL post was very nice to U.
AND…………..

Raven’s. She stated that TSJ would be going to GH but nothing official has been confirmed by the network.
See how I stated the SOURCE(S) barbara t and nbagtag.
barbara t wanted to know (like me) and nbagtag gave the information (U did not).
CLASS CLOSED!
Case NOT Closed. You are still an inbelsile. Look up that meaning!
Hey everyone!
Let’s stop shouting insults at each other, please!
Thx
Michael
I don’t attack, I Educate…! : )
CLASS CLOSED!
Your in no position to educate. You didn’t understand a post and the result is you put blame elsewhere.
Anyone reading these posts will see how foolish you are making something out of your own lack of intelligence.
Why don’t you go buy a TSJ doll? Give you some kind of a life?? lol
Im looking for a house md doll ,does anyone know where I can buy one?Im a doll collector.I like both of the todds ,well victor and todd ,that was a very good Idea by ron.that way we can have them both ,because both actors are liked by the fans ,did everyone send there soap to abc ? sign the agnes nixon swan ,get her soaps back ,and there are petitions all over the place on facebook ,we are going after abc.we cant stop nagging them ,someone over there has to hear us .and call abc 818 460 7477/663 and 818 560 1000/2.I call every day.who knows maybe they will change there phone number.then we can start all over with another number.
Dear Michael,
Thank you so much for the radio interviews. Thank you to JP, Melissa, Kristen for taking the time to call in.:)
I just want to say to the actors , thank you! The last two weeks I have been in denial about OLTL ending. Until I saw Thursday”s show, beautifully done! Wow! Erika Slezak’s speech was like a thank you to the fans . It summed up the way I’ve felt about this show for over 20 yrs! It felt like the actors and writiers understood the love and sorrow we feel and are sharing theirs with us.
You all will be missed and I appreciate all of your years of hard work!!
Thank you Michael for bringing us a little piece of the “real” people behind the characters. You have a talent for asking all that I want to know,
Take Care,
Dani
Yes, Michael is pretty talented with those questions. And awesome to think of this wonderful, interactive site that is always bursting with energy, you can feel it.
very sad after 43 years, so many memories one life to live will surely be missed!!!!!
Michael this interview that you posted is makings its way around to different sites.
Congrats on a job well done!

Trevor I think you did Todd the best!! You had the moves, facial expressions and I just think you played it perfect. I know the long die hard fans watched Roger back in the day, and he’s okay but he is certainly no Trevor St. John. Thank you for all the years you played such a wonderful Todd.
LIKE I SAID:
He (TSJ) made Todd GROW UP, and changed the ENTIRE recipe of Todd. AND now WHOMEVER replaces him/ his role as Todd is going to have a HELLAVA hard time filling the shoes as TSJohn as Todd. (And that means R. Howarth.)
The ABOVE POSTER CONCURES : When you (as an actor) rise to the ocassion of such a complicated character, and play it MORE COMPELING than the original, you have NOW made the original (R. Howarth’s) job impossible! And that means your a awesome MF. By the time TSJ finished with “us” and Todd… HE ” was” the original Todd, and Roger (who) Howarth has come to play the Re-cast. As she stated above,
” Howarth is ok, but he aint no Trevor Saint John”.
* NO ONE can play Todd better than (not the original) BUT Todd, #2, the re-cast! And that is REAL talk. U can be a fan of BOTH of them. Trevor St. John is just too cool for school. The man needs to be in scenes with Sonny, Luke, and Lucky. COMPELING!
Great Show, Michael! 😀
Michael
I honestly enjoyed the show and hearing from all 3 special guests. From my perspective all three of them have given Emmy winning material each to numerous to name. I wish that they all submitted their best work. The cast and crew at OLTL are all appreciated so much.
Michael,I also appreciate what you bring to the soap opera genre.It’s like giving back.:)
Michael I just got this off GHHappenings and I hope you don’t mind me sharing it.
This may put some ‘rumors’ to rest for now.
Kassie DePavia (Blair Manning, OLTL) posted the following on her Official Website:
“I must say the ads and press release by ABC is a little misleading and I feel I need to clarify to all my friends, family and fans…wondering when I’m moving to Los Angeles. Frank Valentine, GH’s EP, asked me to come out for a couple of shows in February and I’m thrilled. Not only will I get to work with a fantastic cast…but a little piece of OLTL will live on. That makes me very happy. And who knows where it will lead. Once the Mannings come to town anything is possible. I wish everyone at GH the best. No one loves daytime more than Frank Valentini and Ron Carlivati and no one works harder than those two men. GH is in good hands and hopefully ABC will let GH live on! See ya’ll soon in Port Charles!”
Doesn’t sound to me like she is relocating to LA with her family!
