Steve Burton Clears Up GH Contract Rumors
Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) return to General Hospital over the last week and half has generated much buzz in the soap world, and much speculation and rumors as well.
One of the latest rumors Burton decided to dispel on the latest episode of his podcast with Bradford Anderson (Spinelli, GH). Steve took a moment at the end of the show to clear up some things he has seen on message boards or as click-bait on the web.
The two-time Daytime Emmy winner shared he has not signed a 3-month only contract where Jason died at the end of his time on the show. Instead, he actually revealed he has a two-year new deal with General Hospital, and Jason will very much be alive!

Burton has left and returned as Jason a few times, previously. Steve’s original run in Port Charles was from 1991-2012. At that time, he left and joined The Young and the Restless as Dylan McAvoy, a role he played from 2013-2017. Then, in the the back-half of 2017, Steve returned to GH only to be let go in November of 2021 during the Covid-19 Disney/ABC vaccine mandates.

Now in 2024, Steve steps back into the role for the third time and it looks like, for now, we know we have him around for a few more years of story. There is always a good chance that Burton could sign-on for additional years as well at the completion of his current contract.
So, glad to know Steve’s GH contract is for 2 years? Let us know via the comment section below.
I liked him better as Harris Michaels on Days!
Very happy.
Sharon Case carried his ass and did not get a thank you.
Here, Here!
So doctor your arm up whatever you are still a walking loset
Can’t stand him go sell some more juice or whatever crap you are selling
We got it.
Yeah sorry about my comments but we have been doing this dance for years . But if I am not watching the show which I’m not then I need to shut up
Bella…EXACTLY!!!!! Thank You. His stiff and wooden acting. BEYOND YUCK!!!!!
“There is always a good chance that Burton could sign-on for additional years as well at the completion of his current contract,” and undoubtedly the show has times when it could drop him and end the contract, as is standard practice. For newcomers, it’s usually every 13 weeks; Burton may have negotiated something more stable. But soap opera contracts generally don’t mean too much.
Much Ado About Nothing!
Oh I’m so happy he’s back. I love his character and on a personal regarding his private life I wish him well.
One thing about Stevie, he’s going to do his own PR FIRST!!!!!!!!!
I KNOW THAT’S RIGHT!!!!!
I enjoyed him being on Y&R and Days. However he’s more well known on GH. Actors come and go all the time so who knows maybe one day he’ll be back on one of the other soaps. Until then at least he’s still on tv and not retired.
I’m very happy to see Steve Burton as Jason back on General Hospital.
I’m really happy that Steve Burton Jason Morgan is back and I hope he stays on for a long long time!
Thanks for the warning. Memo to self: try watching GH again in 2 years.
Steve will probably stick around as long as there’s a General Hospital to stick around for. Because if he leaves again, the show’s finished anyway. The toilet spiral that begin in November 2021 that they are just now beginning to pull out of… that’s not something you survive twice.
It was the worst stretch of General Hospital since that early 1990s period dominated by the Eckerts & Casey the Alien, which only ended with the introduction of Sonny Corinthos and the return of Luke & Laura.
Arguably, the granny wars and Heinrich are challenging, but still more watchable than:
The lady in white
Heather & imitation Edward
Fluke
Denise DeMuccio
Sonny & Emily
Luke & Felicia
Yes; I hope he decides to continue on with the show when his two years are up; the show might lose Maurice in that time frame, too. It’s obvious that they both have other things going on; Maurice and his State of Mind and his books…Steve with his podcast and fitness/health business. Still, if they’re on less they may be able to incorporate it all into their lives. At the least, I hope they don’t kill either character off so the door remains open.
I really don’t want to see the entire town mourn again for Jason Morgan.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?

On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.

Kearran Giovanni Debuts on ‘General Hospital’ as Anna Devane’s New Therapist

If Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) new therapist on General Hospital looks familiar to you, it’s because actress Kearran Giovanni, who plays Dr. Nichols, previously played a doctor on One Life to Live!.
Viewers tuning-in to the Thursday, September 10 episode of GH got their first look at Dr. Nichols who has been brought in to help Anna recover from her PTSD and trauma following the reveal that she has been suffering from a break in reality since before being put in mental health facility in France, after being gaslighted by Cullum and company earlier in the year.
One Life to Live fans will recall that Kearran Giovanni played Dr. Vivian Wright in 2009, and it was then she first worked with current General Hospital EP, Frank Valentini, who at the time was at the helm in Llanview.

Now, Dr. Nichols was introduced as a valuable staff member at the hospital. Although, this marked the first time in the history of the show we have heard of her character.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Anna Breaks Down in Front of Jason and Britt After Shots Are Fired

The Wednesday, September 9 episode of General Hospital featured top-notch performances by Finola Hughes and Steve Burton, as Anna holds Jason and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at gunpoint on Mount Emerson.
Anna is not in her right mind as hallucinations of Peter (Wes Ramsey) overtake her, egging her on to shoot and kill Britt. Jason begs Anna to put down the gun, but it’s clear Anna is speaking to someone who is not there, but in a direction that is just past Britt.
Suddenly, Anna screams at Britt, “You’re just like your father!” Anna also tells Britt that she knew Britt was aware that she was locked up on Spoon Island and did nothing to save her. Britt turns to Jason and tells him she had no idea Anna was on the Island, “until Cullum showed up in Port Charles.” That declaration gave Jason pause.

“PETER” TAKES A BULLET
Next, Anna is overcome with angst, filled with tears and screams out, “I won’t let you beat me!” She fires the gun where the imaginary Peter was standing, as Britt screams and Jason dove to cover her. Now completely shaken, Jason took the weapon from Anna and ordered Britt to leave the scene as Anna collapsed in Jason’s arms.
Jason was so concerned for Anna. She reveals she’s been seeing visions of Peter August since France. Jason shared his theory with Anna that she was manifesting her worst fears about Faison. However he knows deep down Anna would never have shot Britt. Jason promises to come back and clean up the area, but would take Anna home first.

ANNA ADMITS TO EMMA SHE TRIED TO KILL BRITT
At Anna’s, Jason brings her in the front door as Emma is there. Jason tells Emma (Braedyn Bruner) he would like to return and spend the night. A confused and worried Emma get the full story from her grandmother.
Anna explains she tried to kill Britt and she is not as well as she was pretending to be in France. Cut to: Jason cleaning up the site of Anna’s plot against Britt on Mount Emerson. He moves over and finds bullet casings on the ground and examines one of them.
The story climax also signaled the end of the run for Wes Ramsey, who has been showing up on episodes over the last several months as Anna’s dark side conscience. Now that Anna was able to break the psychological hold visions of “Peter” had on her, it ends this latest return of Ramsey’s.
So, what did you think about the scenes between Anna and Jason? Do you think Jason and Britt’s relationship will come to an end now that seemingly Britt revealed she knew Anna was held captive after Cullum came to town? Glad to know Anna won’t be haunted by visions of Peter August anymore? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
