Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson Share Disagreement with Each Other Over Vaccine Mandate; Will Continue ‘Stone Cold and the Jackal’ Shows In 2022
On the latest episode of their That’s Awesome podcast with Steve and Bradford, released over the Thanksgiving holiday, General Hospital’s Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) and Steve Burton (Ex-Jason Morgan) took some moments to address how Steve’s decision to not adhere to the ABC and GH Covid-19 vaccine mandate (which caused the two-time Daytime Emmy-winning star to be let go from the show) would affect their live shows, podcasts, content moving forward, as well as if it has caused a riff in their friendship.
When addressing listeners of the podcast, Anderson shared the the two would continue on with their projects, but that he disagreed with Burton’s decision to not follow the GH vaccine mandate.

Bradford expressed: “If you know us, and know are brand, if you will, it’s built on friendships, and like all friends, we have disagreements. I disagree with Steve’s decision and he knows that. But over are years of friendships, we have had plenty of discussions about this and other topics, and sometimes we agree and sometimes we don’t, but at the end of the day we are still friends.”
Steve added: “We usually don’t get into decisive things on the show. Look, I have a right to believe in what I want, and you have a right to believe in what you want, and that’s what makes this country great and we have never been about division.” In addition, Steve was clear that he has not agreed to any interviews at this time on the subject of his exit, and that he is already moving on, sharing: “I am just grateful for my time at General Hospital and the people and the friendships I have made there, especially with the fans. I have had an incredible life. Listen, I’m OK. I’m at peace. I ‘m moving forward and I am excited about it. Like I said in my video, when one door closes, multiple doors open, and that’s what happened already. I’ve gotten a lot of requests for interviews that I don’t want to do, because I don’t want division … that’s the bottom line.”
Look for Anderson and Burton to hit the road in 2022 and continue with their successful Stone Cold and the Jackal live comedy show and appearances.
What did you think about how Steve and Bradford addressed their disagreement on the vaccine mandate within the podcast? Will you be seeing Steve and Bradford live if they come to your town in 2022? Comment below.
If I were Bradford, I’d be wearing a mask when I am around Steve.
Agree
Wearing a mask protects the person around you more than it protects the individual wearing it.
Really??? A mask??? The masks are not effective!!! … as for abc… I’m so sick of that network…. First they were in bed with playboy and Disney… And now this….I really wish Steve the best…. And as a believer I KNOW THAT THE BLESSINGS THAT HE WILL RECEIVE FROM GOD WILL BE PHENOMENAL!!… abc network is trash… General hospital is the only show that I watch on that network
I agree 100% with your thoughts. I’ve been tempted several times to stop watching GH because of all the stupid changes in past year. I’ve been watching GH since the 70’s. Besides look at how many people have dropped dead from the van or is extremely ill from taking it.
True but Steve gets tested all the time
Steve has “natural immunity” which is the best. He had CV-19.
That’s stupid if you really believe in the vaccines then you should not have anything to worry about, Steve should be the only one that could get covid, but maybe the vaccines are not a protection at all
Let me guess what happens… Jason is presumed dead for a few months but was really saved by Victor or someone else. It’s Cassadine Island after all, there’s always someone coming out of the woodwork. He was badly injured so he needed facial reconstructive surgery, and will now look like Trevor St. John (if the rumors are true).
But wait! In a few years time, either Steve decides to get vaccinated or the mandate is lifted and the “real” Jason is allowed to return, setting the stage for a reveal that Trevor’s Jason is really… Franco! Very much alive, with his memories wiped and Jason’s inserted, like what was done with Drew. Hell, Franco already had Drew’s memories for a little while, so why not Jason’s too?
And the irony of it all will be that Trevor St. John, who took over Todd on OLTL from Roger for years, will now be taking over another of Roger’s characters on GH. It all comes full circle!
Jimmy
Iam hoping that Britt will get a pick and shovel and go looking for Jason.Thats what Sam would have done,and I think Britt has strong feelings for him which will not let her take his “death” lying down.
LOL, can I just say dios mio! this is all to much, but hey I’m glad Bradford and Steve reveal they disagree because I think that’s the way it is all over w/ families and friends. Thats just the reality, and yes its unfortunate but its real. I don’t like Ingo and Steve being turn Into the bad guys here even though I’m all for the vaccine. I’m just gonna keep praying for this bad nightmare to go away. plus, I feel like no show should revolve around one actor or character, the show has plenty of guys so it should just go on. I’m not a fan of replacement but for Jason to be “dead”. again is for storyline reason convincing again. As for Jax, the character has left before and come back so no need to recast since Jax storyline really wasn’t going nowhere.
Two things we never need to see on GH again:
Franco – in any form, for any reason.
Any more OLTL pets – particularly any with any connection to Todd Manning.
Satan – We may see Trevor St John take over the role of Jason. The OLTL “pets” are very good at what they do.
I think they’re going to skip the reconstructive surgery. It’ll just be a new actor, like CM replacing BM, or any of the Carly changes. The surgery for BM to replace SB was for story purposes. As for SB coming back, yep I bet that’ll happen. He did it before and eventually he’ll need a paycheck. He can say what he wants about one door closing another opening, but he’s not going to get the work with the steady pay that he’s assuredly used to! As for TSJ becoming Franco. That ship has sailed. With Tony Geary retired and Franco dead, GH wants to be out of the business of glorifying rapists.
TVJeff- SB, at this point, can only come back to GH if he is fully vaccinated. Y&R may already be talking to SB about a comeback. The question will be how Eric Braeden will react to working with unvaccinated SB.
LmAo…. Who did Franco rape?
Sam Morgan & (indirectly) Michael Corinthos. And no, I don’t accept the retcon “magic DVD” dragonshit that ReRon came up with to claim these things never happened.
And of course, if you look beyond that to see the fact that Frodd was really just Todd Manning using the name of the dead serial killer… well everybody knows his history. OLTL never aired in Hell, but yeah… we got clips of that story somehow.
I will not go see an unvaccinated performer… however steve did make Disney fire him.., I don’t think he’s a victim…& he didn’t insult his fans and coworkers like ingo … steve could work again ingo not so much!
Ingo and Antonio Sabato Jr will probably tour together!
Not likely. Antonio has been reduced to doing really bad religious fundaMENTAList propaganda movies. Don’t think Ingo’s that desperate yet.
Tiresome conversation
Team Steve and Ingo all the way!! I hope others follow suit!
JJ- NO ACTOR is completely irreplaceable. Others on GH will follow suit ONLY if they want to lose their jobs. Disney made a corporate decision to require that all those people working for Disney, ABC etc be fully vaccinated.
ABC DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DECLARE MARSHALL LAW.. no employer does… the whole reason that COVID IS A PROBLEM IS BECAUSE PEOPLE GET SICK… go to work!!! Why??? Because their employers threaten to fire them, or treat them so badly that they will eventually quit!!!… I own a Preschool in FL AND NO MATTER HOPE SICK CHILDREN ARE… most working parents still try to drop them off…. But we are not allowed to accept them if they show signs of being sick…the problem with Covid is that the symptoms are not always there…
You’re in Florida? Hey got a question for you….
Where’s MoRon DeathSentence? He hasn’t been seen in a really long time. Rumor here in Hell is that he’s a victim of his own idiotic Covid denial policies, and that we should expect his arrival down here in Hell shortly.
Either that or he’s “hiking the Appalachian trail” with his old pal Mark Sanford.
Satan, your wit is off the charts! To think this “MoRon” might actually run for president is quite scary. As governor, he is in WAY over his head. As a Floridian, I am thrilled when this so-called governor has a low profile because he is typically saying something so stupid, so anti-science, so pandering, so Trump-like (even with the idiotic, accordion-like hand gestures that no other human performs), so despicable, so mean-spirited, so authoritarian — you get my drift. To Hell with him!
Forcing people to be vaccinated is pure evil
I’m disappointed in Steve and won’t go to see him.
Disappointed in Steve Burton and won’t go see him.
I’m sure he’ll lose sleep over that
I don’t agree with Steve, but he is bowing out as the class act he has always been
Eventually. Stubborn Stever will return..
He was making good money.
Needed money.
No matter where he’d go for acting work (that’s what he does, act) there will still be the required vaccination.
Without being vaccinated there will be no acting work for him.
Being vaccinated is required at most jobs.
What’s he going to do, deliver pizzas?
He will return to GH- wait for it..
(bills will become due)
The other 3 soaps do not have the vaccine mandate that GH has, and the mandates have been suspended for other types of work places due to the winning of several recent court cases. Freedom is being restored!
By the way if the vaccines actually protect you from getting or dying from covid, and you are fully vaccinated, why would you be afraid of someone who chooses not to be vaccinated? Did you ever consider that you’ve been duped & they don’t actually work like some folks would have you believe?
GH is the only one making it mandatory. He has a job already. If this vaccine really worked why would you have to get so many boosters?
We should all be so OVER this subject. The actors have a right to not take the vaccine as one also has a right to take the vaccine. But it will be GH’s loss…period.
Cib- this is where SB learns that GH does not revolve around him and that he is not irreplaceable. Y&R might take him back. You forgot to add that fully vaccinated actors have the right NOT to work with unvaccinated actors.
He never thought it did get over your pathetic self and try to think outside the box! Now when you are locked in your home because some idiot who is getting wealthy off this virus then cry to us ! Meanwhile life will go on Burton never attacked anyone he said his peace and moved on it is a soap opera leave the man alone .
Felt sorry for Spinelli today when Sonny told him the news about Jason. Maybe he needs a new love interest to occupy his mind and time.
Spinelli doesn’t need a “new” love interest. He needs the one he’s still in love with… who happens to be the mother of his child.
And while he’s not a violent guy by nature, nobody could really blame him if he broke one of his orange soda bottles & dragged the jagged remains across Whiny Heiny’s throat.
Burton is waiting it out. They are no recasting because I think they know he will get vaccinated at some point in the next few months and will be back. They are just keeping it quiet. If I were GH I would recast role and this time not give it back to him is he wants to come back. Any other job if you leave and are replaced, they don’t fire your replacement if you want to come back.
I do disagree on Steve’s decision not to get vaccinated i I hope if he gets omicron he will be ok. But at the end of the day they can be friends. They love going on the road. I saw then and it was so much fun. These to are such nice ppl. Ppl can agree to disagree which make an awesome friendship.
If stonecold and the jackal show requires people to be fully vaccinated or a negative test within 24 hours. How can they require that when Steve Burton is not vaccinated? No one should attend their shows.
Yes I agree with Steve. I didn’t take the vaccine and will not take it. I have had Covid three times now. Each time it hits me less seriously.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Mistakes and Cover-Ups Impact the Lives of Drew, Nina, Dante and Brennan
This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, several residents of Port Charles are reeling from their actions in the just released GH video spoilers for the week of May 11-15!
First, Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) confesses to Portia (Brook Kerr) that he is a suspect as the other driver who was involved in Jordan’s (Tanisha Harper) car accident that disfigured her face. But as viewers know, Curtis (Donnell Turner) is the one after a talk with Portia that pointed Justine (Nazeen Contractor) towards Isaiah. But is the culprit really Isaiah, or is it Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton), or is Jordan solely at fault for taking her eyes off the road to kiss Curtis?
Meanwhile, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) armed with the information that Rocco (Finn Carr) shot Cullum (Andrew Hawkes), confronts his ex-wife Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins) at her home. An angry Dante says, “You know it was Rocco who shot Cullum. Why wouldn’t you tell me?” Lulu admits it was Rocco, but how is she going to explain why she kept Rocco’s father out of the loop?

Then, in the exciting pick-up from Friday’s cliffhanger, Nina (Cynthia Watros) is in a continued panic as now Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) finds himself at the hospital looking unconscious and hooked up to machines. In addition, back at Drew’s house, now that Drew (Cameron Mathison) did not receive his dose of medication to keep him in a locked-in state (since Nina jabbed Jack with it), he is starting to show signs of life and is moving his fingers to try to dial the phone for help.
Later, a series of images are set agains the statement by Sidwell (Carlo Rota), who says, “We have a mess on our hands.” Sidwell is the one supplying Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) with the drug to keep Drew paralyzed and unable to speak.

‘General Hospital’s’ Asher Antonyzyn Teases When Danny Finds Out Rocco Shot Cullum and Jason Took the Blame, Relationship Status with Charlotte
On General Hospital, Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn) cannot just sit idly by why his father, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) was dragged away by the WSB for shooting WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes). As Danny one day will find out, it was Rocco (Finn Carr), his brother, who did the deed, and Jason covered for Rocco to protect him. Thus, Danny feels all alone in this world without his dad.
In addition and in recent scenes, GH viewers saw that Danny is considering and wanting to get into the mafia like his dad. He had gone to see Sonny (Maurice Benard) about it and wound up in a conversation with Ric (Rick Hearst) and Sonny. Afterwards, he overheard the men talking about Sidwell (Carlo Rota). So, Danny knows that Sidwell had something to do with Jason disappearing too.
On Sunday, Asher Antonyzyn joined his TV dad, Steve Burton and Burton’s That’s Awesome Podcast partner, Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) for an all-new episode, where the young actor was able to articulate his feelings and thoughts on Danny’s current emotional state and situation in Port Charles while his dad has been taken away to who knows where.

MY BROTHER, MY FATHER
When asked how Danny will feel when he learns Rocco was the person who shot Cullum, and who is dad took the fall for, Antonyzyn shared, “Danny still doesn’t know that it was Rocco who shot Cullum and and all that. He still thinks, ‘Why would my dad do this (and shoot Cullum)?” Then, they take him away. When he does find out, I think he’s going to be pretty upset that his dad is being wrongfully accused, and that this entire time Rocco has just been watching Danny struggle through it all and he hasn’t said anything. I’m super glad Danny and Rocco are eventually going to go at it. They’ve been like brothers and they are so close to each other. I’m excited that they will get a little conflict with each other.”
Asher also also shared Danny’s impulsive nature is a big part of the story. “Right now, I think it’s about the anger that his dad was the only person he kind of had left. In the stuff that will be coming out soon, it seems that his dad’s the only person he can trust. So, he’s just missing that relationship and seeing Rocco with his family, and Charlotte with her family, and just all of that. He is just really upset that his dad was wrongfully taken from him.”
JOINING THE MOB
The young actor also explained, because of Danny’s upset, it’s what drove him to wanting in on the mob. “Danny went to Sonny and Rick not knowing where to start, as he was just so angry. He just wanted ammunition, ans he just wanted to do something”. Asher added, “Danny just couldn’t just stand there anymore. So, I think him hearing the name “Sidwell” gives him like a target to try and do something to get his dad back, just so he feels like he’s doing something.”

One of the hot topics on social media a few months back occurred when Charlotte and Danny (Bluesy Burke) shared a kiss. Fans were screaming how they were related. Well, it seems from Asher’s comments, that entire potential romance had been sidelined.
CHARLOTTE AND DANNY BESTIES FOR NOW?
“There was for a hot second (something between them). Danny and Charlotte had those scenes together,” Asher stated. “They (Charlotte and Danny) really didn’t really know how to go about it. I mean, Danny talked to his grandma and his dad about if they were related and they said “distant cousins” like great grandfathers, great-great grandfathers, but at the end of the day, still related a little bit.”
Antonyzyn clarified where Charlotte and Danny are with each other, as of now. “So after that, they had one scene together and they’ve kind of realized that it’a like a Jason and Carly (Laura Wright) relationship where they have so much love for each other that they don’t feel like it’s right to go into something like that again.”
You can catch the full conversation with Asher, Steve and Bradford below.
Now let us know, what do you think Danny will do with the intel when he finds out that Rocco shot Cullum and his dad took the fall for it? Are you glad it seems that Charlotte and Danny seem to be no longer a romantic young teen romance? Do you think Danny will go after Sidwell, and get entrenched at Wyndemere? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

GH’s Dominic Zamprogna On How Dante Plans to Deal with Lulu and Rocco’s Cover-Up After Learning His Son Shot Cullum
By the end of the Friday May 8 episode of General Hospital, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) with the help of Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) put two and two and realized, that his son, Rocco (Finn Carr) is the person who shot WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) in the back, and was the person who Jason (Steve Burton) was protecting.
This revelation hits the police commissioner like a ton of bricks, especially when he realizes his ex-wife Lulu has been in on the secret and not telling him about it. So, where does Dante go from here? In a new conversation with Soap Opera Digest, multi-Daytime Emmy nominee, Dominic Zamprogna shared what viewers can expect.
Zamprogna expressed on Lulu and Rocco not coming to him for help, “He gets that the reason they probably didn’t want to tell him is because they’re worried that he’s too by the book, but this is his son! He has a lot of anger over them not telling him.”

KEPT IN THE DARK – COMING INTO THE LIGHT
Armed with the truth, Dante’s caught between a rock and a hard place, “This puts him in a situation where he’s potentially going to do things that he wouldn’t normally do, and that’s a big deal for him. Dante having to confront these people for lying to him is going to be good drama and conflict. There is huge emotional fallout from all of this. It has a big effect on his relationships.”
Next week, look for Lulu (Alexa Havins) to be the first-person Dante confronts, “Alexa is so good in those scenes. She is such a powerful actress. But as far as Dante and Lulu go, I could see it taking them a very long time to heal from this, because of her lack of transparency.”
A THANK YOU TO JASON
As far as what Jason did for his son, and how Sonny’s enforcer was grabbed by the WSB and sent away, Zamprogna knows Dante will have a lot of thanking to do, if and when they connect on-screen when Steve Burton returns from his hiatus this summer.”
“Like we needed another reason to love Jason,” Zamprogna scoff, but acknowledging how Dante “definitely (is) going to be owing Jason big-time when he gets back to town!”
So, the once happy family of Dante, Rocco and Lulu is about to fall apart, but can they all work together to keep Rocco safe? Just wait till Dante finds out that his buddy “Nathan” is really Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) ! Something tells me in the end he is going to save Lulu from the guy.
Now, let us know are you looking forward to Dante confronting Lulu and Rocco? How can he protect his son in his position as police commissioner? Will he just look the other way? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.
