what a slap in the puss. he is appearing on a show that airs in most markets the same time GH is on the screen:<(
This says allot to me.
I will not watch, I'll be watching GH as I have since 1963……..
see ya SB……next he'll be on Kattie:<(

Unless he is going to say that his going to the Y&R is just a ugly nasty rumor I don’t care what else he could possibly have to say.

Oh gee,he’s appearing on a “CBS” daytime talk show to make a big announcement,I wonder whatever could it be?

No.

I won’t be watching The Talk – never have, never will.

And I don’t care how people get mad because he left General Hospital. He is his own person – he can do what he wants.

However, I am all for Steve joining Y&R provided no more current talent at Y&R is shown the door to accommodate him AND provided that he is not paired with Victoria! Now that Billy Miller is staying, I want Billy and Victoria to stay together. Steve most likely will not have chemistry with Jessica Collins – something just tells me. I suppose he could end up with Phyllis or Chelsea as I do not see Adam in the picture much longer. But if he is new to Genoa City then he will probably, unfortunately, have to make a stop by Sharon’s bed. 🙁

To be brutally honest, other than General Hospital and the movie Steve made with Robert Redford all those years ago, I have never seen him play any other character. I just hope he can be written as someone other than Jason on Y&R.

wow, this is all so stupid, or they think we are stupid, he’s going on a cbs show to make a special announcement that what? he’s a trader! i’ve lost all respect for steve burton, big deal, so he’ll join y&r, Jill Faren Phelps will be happy, and who really cares anymore, talk about the worst kept secret/betrayal.

HELL NO!!! IF HE GOES TO Y&R I HAVE LOST EVERY BIT OF RESPECT FOR STEVE BURTON THAT I HAD AND I WILL NEVER EVER WATCH HIS BAND PORT CHUECK AGAIN. WHAT A SLAP IN THE FACE TO ALL HIS LOYAL FANS.

No. I have no interest in seeing Steve Burton on The Talk or on Y&R. No offense to Steve. I’m sure he’s a nice enough guy. But Y&R has become unrecognizable the last few weeks with all the new cast editions and set changes. The first couple changes were nice and refreshing but it’s gone too far. So disappointing.

Wow! This feels kind of like a low blow to GH…

They say to a little ego is a good thing. But this guy is just out for himself.

I will watch it.

So, he didn’t leave GH so his family could move to a nice little town. He left GH cause he was tired of playing the same character for years & wanted something new. If he was going back to GH, he wouldn’t announce it, or he would on the View on ABC. I like GH better since he left, Im glad AJ is back. Gives Michael,Sonny, & the girls more to do.

Acting is a job. I do not understand why people are upset with SB because he decided to take another job. His life. His family. His decision. He doesn’t need to ask for our approval.

GH is better off without him. The only storyline left for him was to get his memory back as Jason Q and he refused to do it. Most actors like to mix up their character and test their acting chops but SB seemed content wearing a black tshirt, flashing a gun and blinking. I wish him the best but really have no interest watching him on Y&R. Is it really a surprise that JFP hired her favorite GH pet after getting rid of vets like Genie and not inviting Tristan back as originally planned?

I do not like big fat liars. He left GH with the lame excuse he wanted to spend time with his family. I watch Y&R but this might make me not watch it anymore and especially since I cannot stand JFP.

I hate to mention this but;
Steve B is not anyone’s property and needs no permission to further his career anyway he sees fit to 🙂 and if or if not some won’t watch Y&R (ya sure) I’d bet he could care less and your loss not his LOL 🙂
If SB can run some out , so to say, then he has a lot of power over ya lol 🙂

I’m looking forward to see SB portraying a different character ;….
…………………. he is no longer Jason ..

Good luck, Steve Burton. As an actor or any working person, he can seek out/choose his opportunities. If he felt GH was not the place for him, he left. f Y&R and JFP made him an offer, well he accepted it. I love my shows and characters as much as th enext fan, but shows evolve, actors leave, roles are recast. I hope Y&R can accommodate Burton as the show failed us and Maura West, Jennifer Landon, Gene Francis, Debbie Morgan, and others. Let’s hope Y&R and Burton are better for this development. GH will go on successfully without Jason Morgan (or with a recast down the road). I will watch and follow both serials.

I loved Steve Burton as Jason for the better part of the last 21 years, and I truly miss his presence on GH, and my choice would be to have him return to GH, BUT as I have said on this site before, and as others mentioned above, we all make career choices that are best for us and our families, so why should Steve Burton not be afforded that same choice? Plain and simple, it is his right to do what he believes is best for he and his family. I also believe Steve did not want to hurt any of his loyal GH fans, and that he truly thought this out before the choice was made. I also think that there is more than meets the eye to this, as it is quite possible that he was “asked” to keep quiet about his move to Y&R for x amount of time, or maybe there is another reason that is between Steve, TPTB at GH and Y&R. Either way, I think it is a smart move for him to appear on a talk show to make his announcement, and maybe smooth over some ruffled feathered fans at the same time. I am not so happy at the irony that he is appearing on a show that is opposite GH, but that is scheduling, and something he has no control over, and I am sure he was probably “asked” to appear on The Talk by JFP as a very smart PR move. He seems like a genuinely kind, caring, family man, and I wish him all the best. I will tivo The Talk and look forward to what he has to say, and I will watch him on Y&R also. Again, I would prefer that he go back to Port Charles, but since that is not in his best interest right now, I am happy to see him somewhere, rather than not at all. I adore him with Sam, but I can see him with the actress who plays Avery on Y&R also. Wishing you much success Steve!!!

I don’t care what he had to say on a show that is on when GH
IS on! A SLAP IN THE FACE!!!! So much for country living! He
should have been honest with his fans! GH should announce
they’re getting a new Jason on MONDAY!!! The part of Jason
Morgan will now be played by….,,,,,

I can’t wait to see Steve on Y&R. As much as I hated to lose Jason on GH the new writers really screwed up his character. I like how The Talk promotes soaps. I wish ABC would do the same.

I don’t want to give the Talk ratings. It feels like steve lied to his devoted fans. He said he was leaving to be with his family. If that was true why isn’t he coming back to GH rather than going to Y&R? It is not that actors can’t change it is the fact that fans feel we have been lied to….Steve what happened on GH to make you leave??.

I have to say, if this is true….Steve is going to YandR…..it is a betrayal. He could have stayed at GH for the rest of his life…at a comfortable pay. Instead he betrayed his fans. Not good.

So excited!!

I do not need to offend anyone. BUT some of you really need to grow up!! This is a soap opera and not real life. I welcome actors switching things up. He played “Stone Face” for so many years it will be nice to see him in a different character with different actors. As well people do change there minds like when people retire. They get board and miss the work. They want to do something different or change things up. There is nothing wrong with that. He is not owned by us or GH. He should be able to make his own choices and we should respect that. This is not personal.

On one other note. Should we not be thankful that we even have our soaps to get us warm and fulfilled in the afternoon? Has not losing the ones we have not showed us that things are changing and that if they do not we will lose more? To be honest I am shocked when reading people going on about the actors from OLTL. I like Star and Todd on GH. Can you picture the 3-some that you know is in the works when Blair comes back and wants Todd back, yet again? Carly and Blair might be friends now but you know there will be fireworks down the road that will turn into something amazing to watch! It could be our next Super Couple! How can anyone not welcome that?

I have learnt in life you can never make everyone happy. But sometimes you need to stop and look at the bigger picture and see what could come out of some great changes. last year GH was on the road to being anther victim of being taken off the air. Now it is on fire and your complaining? Be Thankful!!

Just my worthless Canadain tire money hahah

Just the idea of Steve Burton and Amelia Heinle in scenes togerther is making me scream of joy ! I always wanted Amelia as a recast Brenda on GH but this is even beter !! YAY!!!! Thanks Steve !!! Now if only they could recast Lily, Y&R would be perfect

SB is not a traitor! He’s had the SAME job for 21 years and the opportunity for change. How many people still want to work a job they started at the age of 20? It makes sense. Also, he was probably forbidden contractually to say anything about changing networks.

At least he stayed in soaps, supporting our beloved genre!

And, as both a GH and OLTL fan, GH is great! We’ve had Anna, Duke, Robert, Faison, Noah, Heather, and Lucy show up in the past year.

It wouldnt have been so bad if he was just hinest with his fans. Everybody has a reason for what they do in life. Telling everyone he was leaving to spend more time with his family and then findingout rhere is a possibility he will join the y&r family stinks. I hope this is not true. I would like to believe there is a good reason for this i thought he was a religous.

Love it, but a slap in the face to General Hospital and ABC.

I love how some are upset because we are upset with SB. We have every right to feel they way we do as do you. I don’t go around saying why are u ok with it you should be mad. We each have our take
On the sistuation. I think he should have said Hey I’m taking a couple of months off and I’m ready to play other roles. As great as playing Jason was. Ok I can understand that. But he didn’t. He made it sound as if he was retiring like he was going to Tenesse and maybe in a a couple of years think about coming back to acting. It feels like it was all lies and Yes like a slap in the face to his GH fans and GH!! And that’s how I feel.

This is likely his confirmation that he is joining Y&R as Dylan. I’m semi-excited about it. I cannot wait to see him in a better role than that of Jason. Jason got annoying the last few years. I want him to portray a good guy, and maybe even make a friendly connection with Nick Newman! That guy needs some male friends to shoot the bull with!

Yes Steve played a Quatermaine but then he began not wanting to do this or that… the only way they could play him was Stone Cold. I’d like to see him ACT different but on stage he has a difficult time feeling comfortable with Port Chuck and although I am sure he loves it…he is not a Scott, Brandon, or Bradford. Is he good looking and a smart business man yes! Was he open and honest to fans? Will he do whatever he is asked to do on Y&R? He won’t be the big man on campus there…or will he? I guess we need to wait and see… I was a loyal Jason fan who wanted to see him go back to being a Quatermaine and see his true acting ability—he didn’t want that. I wanted to see true love seens with his partners…he didn’t want that. So what can he play beside STONE COLD….we’ll see….

There will never be pleasing some people about GH…They complain about all mob all the time, they complain that OLTL stars take up all the time…Whether its true or not, they perceive it when their favorites aren’t on…

Will the shows be aired on television or internet or both?

I have been a fan of soaps since the late 60’s. I dont know if you call Dark Shadows a soap but it started there when I was in college. Everyone on my floor in college would work their class schedules around so they wouldnt miss Dark Shadows. I started watching the soaps when I got married in 1969. I have been watching One Life to Live and All My Children ever sing then. I wa so upset when they took them off the air. I am glad to hear they are bringing them back. Cant wait to see them and all the excitement they bring. Glad to hear of the retun. Cant wait to start watching again.

rrWe sll should be happy for Steve Burton! He is icon soap actor….He

played the character of Jason Morgan Quatemine for a long time…..

And if you look at his fans, and non fans he 20,000 views, at SOC boards

(Y&R)…..Oh!, don’t get me started at GH, to many views!!

I ‘ve was a suppporter of JASAM, since she lost her baby in

Nov.2004……I could tell you about all their major videos from A to Z

So Steve Burton is going to get a lot of mileage from going to Y&R

The question should be ”What’s Next For Sam”?

If I was ABC, they should have Sam/Kelly :

have a baby:
have a relationship with John, Jax, Cruz(where is Cruz????)
have a makeover
pack Jason’s clothes on the show, (I’m gonna miss the black shirts and black boots

I wonder did he do the View of GA in the 8 years when he was paired with
Kelly Monaco?

I say ABC make it a “Kelly” years,it’s the year of the Women!

p.s…….I hope Kelly have a baby in real life!!!! with_______________

JFP got his back now!

I do think Steve Burton needs to announce his intentions to his GH fans – should have already done so. The Talk is on opposite General Hosp in Orlando, Fl – so I will watch GH. I am sure Steve’s announcement will be shown on all the Entertainment Shows and we can get the info there. Also on the Web. I will be watching GH as usual – sadly without Steve (Jason). I hope he has a reasonable explanation for his “lying to his GH fans” if he knew already he was going to Y & R when he departed GH. If he did tell us a lie, then I will be very disappointed in Steve Burton!!!!!!!

WOW! The outrage of some of the fans here is pretty unbelievable to me. I for one will be watching The Talk as I hardly watch GH these days anyways. I don’t blame Steve for going to Y&R after the way Cartini dogged him. He was a 21 year vet on GH and the minute they took over, they started pushing him to the background and writing his character completely OOC so they could prop ME as the hero of the show. Steve, like many of the fans, was excited for the payoff of Jasam getting married. He said so in countless interviews when he and Kelly Monaco were promoting their characters’ marriage and after he and Kelly both showed their displeasure in how their couple was being decimated just “for some guy” as Kelly said to get in between them. It was obvious that Cartini brought on favorites like ME (a actor i actually like) and RH in an attempt to regulate SBu out, basically dividing his role of “hero of PC” and “Carly’s BFF” between the two former OLTL actors. He and MB are supposed to be the lead actors of GH, yet they were hardly on while ME and RH were on ALL the time, so much so that it made me sick of John McBain, a character i loved on OLTL before they crossed him over to GH. Steve had been talking about moving to Nashville for years with his family but when he was enjoying the story he was in, of course he stuck around. But with the way Cartini were treating him as well and in turn his fans, it’s no wonder that was the final push he needed to move. That didn’t mean that he’d never take another job or that he wouldn’t take on soon. We all saw the exit interview where they asked about the possibility of Y&R where he said he wouldn’t say no because if he did he’d show up there tomorrow. That was a hint in and of itself. Steve didn’t betray GH or it’s fans, the new heads of GH betrayed him. They didn’t care that he & MB carried the show for years, Frank & Ron basically pushed him out, and Steve was too classy and cared about the show and the actors still on it too much to come out and say it. Shame on those of you who claimed to be fans, you weren’t the wronged party here, at least not by Steve. Steve however was wronged, along w/his fans, Jasam fans, and numerous other facets of GH fans by Cartini. I for one am happy Steve is seizing the opportunity to go to a show that honors it’s vets and respects all their actors. I look forward to seeing Steve on The Talk and on Y&R as well.

It’s not so much that Steve Burton is going to be on another show (although I would prefer to see him with a great storyline on GH), it’s that he seems to have lied when he left GH. He said he was leaving in order to spend more time with his family. Then, not long after he leaves GH, he appears to be going to another soap. I think what GH fans are having a hard time with is why didn’t he come back to GH if he was going back to soaps? He knows how loved Jason is and how many fans he had as Jason. He also knows how sad fans were to see Jason leave, but we all wished him well, as what better reason was there for leaving us than to be with his family? But that seems to have been a lie. It seems planned, particularly since it is said that he has a close working relationship with one of the big shots at Y&R. It’s the apparent lie that bothers most fans. Had he just left GH and said the reason was because the character of Jason was going nowhere and didn’t seem to be evolving, we could have all understood that; most of us would no doubt agree. But he seems to have lied about his reason for leaving and it feels a bit like a betrayal to the fans who have been with him since before Jason’s personality changing accident and through that horrible movie he left GH at one point to do…

Snooze, oops sorry! This is deemed as break news, I’ll tune into my GH where good storylines are breaking havoc everyday.

Kelly should have a fabo year…..THAT’S ALL

Ron C. put your thinking cap on!!!

And try to grab the some of those ratings!

Because Mr. Burton is gonna getting the “goo-goo eyes , trust me!!!!

I don’t know if he lied or not…..Frankly, I don’t give————–

I care about GH only!

Mr. Burton got pubilicty up the A–

Get Sam Mcall:

a story
a man

Burton is back with his girl,JFP…whatever!

I am looking forward to seeing Steve play a different role. Very exciting.

GH is better without him.

YAY! I just heard this news. As an ex-Y&R viewer, I am THRILLED that changes are being made to the show. Had no idea Maria Murderous Bell was fired!!! I quit watching last year after the utter destruction and humiliation of Sharon Cases’ character. But to hear positive things are on the horizon is making me excited to tune in again! Didn’t know who SB was until I Googled him and WOW! He and SC would make a smokin’ hot couple IF rumors are true! If not, I refuse to watch until the writers treat SC and her character with respect. Her fans; and the actress, deserves it. Sharon & Dylan…BRING IT!!!!! Can’t wait to see them burn up the screens!!! Here’s to new beginings! xoxo

I hope the soap world won’t cancel GH and Y&R after reading all the negative comments on the net. I don’t care if he changes shows…I am just glad any soaps are even still ON TV (whether I watch them or not). Complain too much and you wont have anything to complain about.

Oh, oh….maybe he is announcing he is taking acting lessons!

Sorry, but he was boring on GH and unless he has some major overhaul in his abilities will be boring on Y&R. Though, I should be thanking him. Since I usually FF through anything involving Victor, Cane, Lily I can add Burton’s scenes and zip through an episode in 20 minutes.

Oh, and would lay bets that although initially he will be tied to Avery (presumed dead lover) he will end up as Sharon’s newest squeeze.

i have been watching gh over 30 years and always liked the charcter jason morgan ,people feeling betryed by steve is ridicoulus he is an actor and makes his own decisions on his career for himself nd his family not for anyone else i wish him the best on whatever he decides ,people wanted to see him back on tv again and it looks like that will happen even if its not on gh ,if you are a fan then just wish him good luck with his decision and let it go good luck steve …

one life to live can’t replace Steve with someone else Jason was one of the reasons I watch General Hospital…its like replacing Sonny and if the part is not revived alot of people like me will tune out…

Now the Todd and Star playing in General Hospital is great but remember they are playing same characters I would hate to see them go back to One life…./Todd is such a believable,
mischief making character he is estgablished on GH so please leave him there..

the only thing after all this timeis AMC and who David was going to be his next frankenstein back to life and that would be entertaining . all the people brought back to life find out they only have a short time to live kinda like a virus

Maybe they should take Steve cast of AMC and One Life and create a new soap with same characters but different plot..

GH should reward his disloyalty by having Jason’s body recovered and positively identified. No back from the dead option.

DISAPPOINTED! He could be honest with his fans:(
