Steve Burton on How Jason Will Return to General Hospital: “All I Know is I’m Buried in a Cave in Greece Somewhere”
On Wednesday, January 10th on ABC7 Chicago’s Tracy Butler chatted with General Hospital’s returning Steve Burton (Jason). Originally scheduled to appear in-person, Steve participated in the interview virtually, because of weather delays causing problem with flights from LA to Chi-town.
During his appearance, Steve discussed his departure from GH back in 2021 due to not complying with the Covid-19 mandate at Disney/ABC, but how he always hoped he would get the opportunity to come home again to Port Charles. Burton related: “I left the show a couple years ago, everybody knows the whole story.”
On his surprise announcement at the end of last week’s General Hospital: 60 Years of Stars and Storytelling primetime special, Burton shared: “Frank Valentini (EP, General Hospital) did an amazing job with this reveal of, ‘One door closes, another one opens,’ because that’s what I said in my Instagram video when I left, you know? I believe that in my life, that when one door closes, another door is gonna open and that’s how I’ve lived my whole life. And when I did (leave GH), I was able to go to DAYS for a little while, that door closed ,and now this door has opened again.”

The two-time Daytime Emmy winner also weighed-in on how much longer he thinks he might stay in front of the camera: “I feel like I have another, I don’t know, it’s a feeling right now and I don’t like to go on feelings all the time … another two or three years of acting.” Steve mentioned how he did say on his Instagram message after leaving GH, “If the mandates are dropped I’d love to return to General Hospital, it’s my home, and I would like to finish my career there.”
The question on his mind and viewers mind is just how will Jason be written back into the canvas. Steve expressed, “All I know is I’m buried in a cave in Greece somewhere … that’s all I know.”

Later, in the interview, Steve talked about the loss of Jackie Zeman, and what she meant to the show and the sense of spirit she would always bring to the set.

Now, let us know, how do you hope GH writes Jason back on the canvas? Give us your theories and suggestions via the comment section.
Great interview. Steve’s definitely personable and knows how to promote himself in a down-to-earth way. Smart enough to keep his politics out of the public eye, and handled ABC’s vax mandate with class, (at least on social media) knowing that leaving on a positive note would keep the door open. Looking forward to his return…
I agree, just don’t pair him up with Carly again. He fits better with Sam–now that was a romance!
I totally AGREE!!!
I loved im with Carly, Im way over Sam not picking Jason time and time again. Leave Sam where she is or back with Drew 🙂
Dante should be with lulu when she wakes up. ( don’t know why the writers are taking so long)
And what about Dante, is he chopped liver? Although I’m not crazy about he and Sam together, I would feel bad if Sam dumps him for Jason.
I hope they fineally put Jason and Carly together back together as more than friends in a whole new romance relationship with only each other get engaged and married for real and have children of there own and move in together and start a new life together
Nope!
DO NOT want Carly having any more kids……come on, if Michael is in his 30’s that makes Carly in her 50s. Time for the baby machine to shut down. Remember she had issues having Donna due to her age.
So excited that Steve burton is returning back home to g.h. where he belongs!!!!!!!!
Love to see him with Sam
I’d like to see Jason as part of the sex trafficking story line. Undercover, and was working with Bobbie Spencer and Luke to save the boys and girls who were being extorted!!!
Huh??
Great Idea!
That’s great I was thinking of that too I hope that’s a good storyline hope it works out
That would be awesome
I don’t know if I’d like seeing a Drug Trafficked type SL . Thats what I watch all the nighttime COP and Detective shows for.
Welcome back Jason.
I want him to meet Felicia and Carly in Amsterdam with a case of amnesia and they convince him to come back to PC where he slowly gets his memory back and hook up with Jordan.
That would be good too but I want him to recognize Sonny when they meet
I don’t even recognize Sonny any more. How will Jason?
OMG, Jordan??
I hope he comes in on Sonny at his worst and looks up and he’s there in his eye sight at Sonny Crib
Awesome too, due to Nina that would better
Sonny Crib, and where the hell is that?
A great way to bring Jason back,would to have someone like Anna or Valentine take a trip to Greece and to happen to see Jason.Jason, has amnesia.The reason he hasn’t returned to Port Charles sooner.
No Way! Anna is to Good for Valentine. There is NO chemistry between them!!!
Jason needs to return to Sonny as his muscle. I think Carly is too old and should be back with Sonny. Jason needs a new love life.
Yes he finally coming home. It don’t matter how the do it.. I can’t wait to watch his return I hope it will be as good as it was when he came though the glass at the event they had in the metro court go Steve welcome home
For Jason’s return
I would like to see Sonny, Anna, Curtis And Dex
Of course Curtis regains his legs
In an all in out war with Pikeman who is connected to the WSB and Cirus who is also connected to or is he Pikeman and let’s not leave out Salena Woo
With Sonny trying to protect his town and family and finding out who shot Curtis and who is after Anna
An all out Mob war breaks out
Sonny, Dex, Anna and Curtis are pined down
Here comes Jason to the rescue
I think Selina woo had Curtis shot.I am so happy jason is coming back.
I wouldn’t be surprised if old Gramps didnt somehow have Charlotte do the deed.
I thought maybe it was her daughter in real life
Don’t really care how once he is back that’s fine with me. Want him on Sonny’s side as usual taking care of the business
I think he will be in Grease with no memory of PC and Carly and Felicia will find him bring him back k to PC and while back where he belongs he will slowly get his memory back and than him and Dex will work together for Sonny but Jason will have the last and final say when it comes to protecting Sonny and his family
I agree , just glad Jason is back .G H. was not the same without Jason now every thing will be all right.
As Danny Zuko…or Kenickie??
Good one.
Thank you, McShirls! I know that “Grease” was obviously a predictive autocorrect error, so I meant no disrespect to Gail! It just struck me as funny…and karma almost bit me for it…as I typed out “Zuko,” my iPhone insisted it should be “Zika!” Thankfully, I caught it before hitting “send!”
I can’t handle another amnesia storyline. They drug the Sonny thing out way too long!! Maybe he has HAD amnesia and has now regained all memory! Definitely rides in just in time to save Sonny! Has to be Sonny’s muscle again! Him and Dex would be great together!! He needs a new love! Carly has to be back with Sonny! Him and Britt were amazing together!! Don’t know how that could work, but they had a great chemistry from the outside looking in!! There you go!!
He doesn’t even have to change wardrobe or learn new lines. He can just recycle them from his role on DAYS where he literally plays the same character – the only one in his repertoire. We had a nice break on GH for a few years. Oh well.
I agree, Lester. Glad I’m not the only one.
All I can say it is about time. Jason has always been my favorite character on the show.
Yet another reason not to watch General Hospital
Steve Burton is the best. Welcome back!
Missed you so much!
Well. Now would be good time for you to return as Sonny has asked Dex.to kill Cyrus, and he don’t want to, and that’s your job anyway, so I hope they bring you bsck now to take Cyrus out and save Dex
Plus we just want you back now!
I’ve Been wondering how this will turn out with Cyrus with Nina in the mix, will they blame her? I knew darn well that Sonny would change his mind and call Dex off. So now, what’s he going to do for an alibi if Cyrus is murdered and I also want to know what Nina offered him in return for not turning in Sonny.
I’m excited Steve is returning!! I haven’t watched GH in a year, b/c I wasn’t happy about the plot lines. Every time I would get excited about the diversity on GH, the POC get reduced airtime, & simply written off. Taking an intelligent youngster like Trina, tossing her in jail, & just the dumbest plot line was some mess I refused to watch. Yet, Carly, Nina, & now Esme never get locked up though.
It’s just infuriating & tone deaf of the writers. Sorry to rant.
At least Liz is still around & Jason’s return could prove to be a juicy triangle finally leading to our Liason family!! We’ve been robbed of a really juicy couple where the two actors genuinely click & have chemistry for days! I can feel the heat already.
G.h. should bring Brenda back !!!!!
Sonny and Brenda love ❤️
Love to see them together, they heat up the screen and that’s sonny’s true love.
Brenda is coming back.
I honestly think that morgan, Bryan Craig is the one that finds Jason. He’s keeping him hostage until they both show up in Port Charles. Morgan is the one targeting sonny.

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL
Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.
The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.
In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”
So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
