Scott Reeves Returning to General Hospital as Steven Webber
Fan favorite, Scott Reeves is returning on-screen to General Hospital in the role of Steven Webber, 11 years after he left his role. As is in soap opera, the character was recently mentioned in story (which is always a clue they are not far behind) when his half sister, Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst), noted that Steven had been released from prison, where he had been serving time for the death of a patient, but that he would unlikely come back to Port Charles due to his tarnished relationship with his mother, Heather Webber (now Alley Mills, previously Robin Mattson).
According to TV Insider, Reeves will appear beginning on the upcoming October 24th episode. However, from his interview with the outlet, it appears Steven’s time in Port Charles will be limited as Reeves is already back in Tennessee where he lives with his wife, Melissa Reeves (Jennifer, Days of our Lives).
Those will recall, that Steven was arrested the day he was going to marry Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero) back in 2013 and exited the soap opera. Scott said of reprising Steven Webber, “Steven did his time, he’s been out of prison for a few months now and has been living in Sedona, Arizona trying to start over and figure out what life is supposed to look like at this point. He lost his medical license, obviously, when he went to prison (for killing a comatose patient, who was a murderer, to save a child) but he felt justified in it.”

From all indications, Reeves will indeed share scenes with his on-screen mother now played by Alley Mills.”It was great to meet and work with Alley Mills. She is so hilarious and plays that role to the hilt,” he expressed. Steven will also see Elizabeth to which Reeves shared, “It was so great to see Becky again. That was like reuniting with family because Becky and I are close outside of GH. She really was like my younger sister.”

It appears that when wife Melissa Reeves was over at Days of our Lives filming new episodes, that Scott came out to Los Angeles to tape GH, adding, “She was going to work and I was going to work over at GH, which was our whole life for decades. It was like a time capsule and it felt like it did before we had kids.”
Scott says his latest GH experience left him wanting to play Steven again even more, “I told Frank (Valentini, EP, GH) ‘I forgot how much I loved it. I’ve been doing other things, but this was like putting on a really, really comfortable pair of jeans. It was so comforting to get to work with everybody again and fall back into the lives of those characters. I would be totally open to coming back because I think there’s so much potential with Steven. Anytime they want me back, I’m there.”’

The actor first appeared on daytime in the role of Jake on Days of our Lives in 1988. Later, Reeves joined The Young and the Restless as Ryan McNeil, a part he played from 1991-2001. He then joined General Hospital as Steven Lars Webber back in 2009 until 2013.
GH has recently boosted its male characters with the arrivals of Jonathan Jackson as Lucky, Van Hansis as Lucas, Rick Heart as Ric and now Scott Reeves as Steven.
So, are you looking forward to seeing Scott making a return as Steven Webber on GH? Comment below.
I am thrilled Steven Lars and Scott Reeves are receiving a return engagement. The character needs to be given a clean slate and his situation given closure.
I really could do without Heather Webber and hope her son’s return may facilitate an exit.That character has been ruined in recent years. We can move on.
I am old enough to remember when Steven Lars was born. The baby drama with Peter and Diana Taylor, Heather gaslighting and murdering her. The triangle among Jeff, Heather, and Anne. It was soooooo good. Real suspense and surprise.
Seems GH is cleaning up it’s story bible and righting wrongs for characters and families we love and have missed. That might keep us from seeing what CBS has Beyond the Gates weekdays at 2pm come January.
I recall fondly the original PJ is Steven Lars story and the lazy Susan, etc.
However, in both incarnations, adult Steve was a boring character. I’m glad they are revisiting the character, but thankfully it is short term.
Beyond the Gates will air at different times across the nation. In most west coast markets it will likely air at 1pm – creating a a 3 1/2 hour soap block starting at 11:30 with Y&R through GH’s episode ending at 3pm.
I’d be happy to see him return full-time. It seems like GH is rounding out a lot of families with all the recent returns. I like it.
Familiar faces with legacy ties are always good.
Can you just for once just stop
The hate we are in the worse times of our life because everybody can’t stop
The hate!!! He saved his marriage because they found God you don’t agree with that ok! But back off I have never heard one word out of him about hate towards gays so knock it off .
Good RETURN
Steven Lars brings LOTS of storyline potential such as unresolved issues with Olivia.
I must continue to gloat about the return of Ric and how he has QUIETLY shaken up recent plot points and future storyline potential.
The writers and production at GH are putting the pieces TOGETHER quietly and IT’S WORKING
NOW, if we could correct the Sam situation, GH could really have a great show going moving forward
Welcome back Steven Lars! Hope they find you a nice lady as was Olivia. Am hoping for a long term SL without too much turmoil with “mommy dearest”
I am thrilled he is back even if for a limited time. I had figured and hoped that after Jonathan Jackson and Steve Burton returned that their IRL friend Scott would return. Looking forward to this.
I loved Scott Reeves on Y&R, with all his woman troubles
They can bring all these back ..but they had to get rid of KM

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.

As had been teased since Jason Morgan’s (Steve Burton) captivity by the WSB and his release on General Hospital, he is clearly having issues speaking about what happened to him, after he was dragged away from Port Charles when he took the fall for Rocco (Finn Carr) who shot WSB director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
Now. as Jason tries to reacclimate to life back in Port Charles, he has already displayed that he wants to do better for his son, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and the people he loves and to show up for them.
In addition, things took a turn on the Friday, July 31 episode where after Sonny (Maurice Benard) questioned Jason if he was having an issue with Ric (Rick Hearst) working side by side with his half-brother, Jason had something to say.

An emotional Jason tells Sonny, “I can’t work for you anymore.” The moment left Sonny dumbfounded, and viewers won’t know the pick-up of the conversation till Monday’s August 3 episode of GH.
Could it be that this time Jason will cut ties with Sonny and the mob for good? If so, it would be the end of an era for Jason and Sonny, sort of the Batman and Robin of GH with a twist.
Previous teases from the GH co-head writing team of Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte, and Burton himself on his podcast That’s Awesome ,seem to indicate there is a change coming for Jason that sends him off in a different path in his life.
However, we should learn Jason’s reasons shortly, and if Sonny can talk him back into the mob, or can just wish Jason the best and let him go. But now the question becomes, if Jason exits life as Sonny’s right hand man and henchman, what do you see him doing with his life? We do know that Jason is aware that Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) has tied to the WSB, since he escorted him to Port Charles via Jakarta on the plane which may be a clue.
Weigh-in below: Do you want Jason to go work for the Quartermaines and truly join the family in full? Do you see him doing something to help those in need, or do you see him going undercover with the WSB to expose some of the treacherous things they perpetrated on him and others, or do you see Jason doing something completely different with his life? If so, what? Let us know your hopes and thoughts for Jason in the comment section below.
