Last week on the May 31st episode of General Hospital, the part of Sam (Kelly Monaco) and Jason’s (Steve Burton) son, Danny was now being played by Porter Fasullo.

That means that T. K. Weaver, who has played the character from 2016-2019 has been replaced.  Weaver responded to inquiries from fans on Twitter by stating.  “I was recast” and added, “I found out a couple weeks ago but I was asked not to tell anyone.  Broke my heart. I love you all so much. I love my GH family and all of you who make my day everyday!!!! You guys are the best!”

Weaver also passed the torch to Fasullo stating: “Good luck to the new Danny!! I hope you all love him too! Truly.”

I’ll make sure #billymiller sees this post… I know he cares about you as much as I do. You will be greatly missed at #gh” .

Steve Burton responded to Weaver by stating: “You’re a rockstar with a bright future!”
