Days Of Our Lives
Steve Burton Reveals His On-Screen Return Date to Days of our Lives
On the latest episode of the That’s Awesome podcast with Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson (Spinelli, GH), the conversation turned to that with this being March, it will also mark Steve’s return to Days of our Lives as Harris Michaels.
Sharing that, ‘The time has come, so set your calendars,” Burton revealed that his first air date back to Days of our Lives, streaming on Peacock, will be March 20th.
Before GH, Burton’s first soap opera role was actually that of Harris Michaels on DAYS back in 1988. Last summer, he reprised the role in the Peacock limited-series, Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem 2. In that story arc, Harris was romancing Hope, but secretly working for a very much alive Megan Hathaway.
Now, Megan (Miranda Wilson), Harris, and the iconic Bo (Peter Reckell) and Hope (Kristian Alfonso) will all be on the canvas in just a few weeks.
Looking forward to Steve’s return to DAYS? Comment below.
Thanks for the heads-up! Now I know the date when my fast forward button will start getting a workout…
Sorry to sound snarky, but NOT a fan…
Ha ha! James, I wish you’d pick a lane. It’s really hard to gauge how you really feel.
Thanks for making me laugh, Harry!
James…A-M-E-N to that, Brother!!!!! I never understood that dude’s so-called appeal. Even my beautiful 5-year-old black cat Sheena has WAY MORE range, emotion and depth than that one-note muscle-head Burton!!!!! And my Sheena has never had an acting lesson in her life…lol.
Catch ya’ later, Brother.
Funny stuff, jaybird369! Thanks!
Steve Burton, Who Dat? (Not at all!)
I AM looking forward to the return of Bo & Hope!!!
Sorry, I can’t find the time or interest to keep track of this guy’s revolving door of employment. He gets as much ink here as Harry & Meghan get on ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT. I just don’t get it.
lol… but at least it is soap news and not wrestling news..
Hallelujah!!!
Nothing wrong with wrestling news; it’s Michael’s website, and it isn’t solely focused on soaps anymore. Don’t like it? Don’t visit that post.
Hi Scott, We know it’s Michael’s site and (I) respect that. But, everyone has their likes and dislikes and they are expressed here pretty frequently. But, you’re right, if (I) don’t want to read news about wrestling, I can skip it, which I do.
I’ll bet that he’ll bring the same stunning range of emotion to this role that he brings to all of his work. From sullen to withdrawn. From Stone Cold to Stone Dull. Yawn.
Bill W,
You said it! I don’t know what all this actor/hero worship is about. I don’t see him any better or worse than any other man! He’s not a god.
LOL!
I still say that his story on Days is going to be a short one. Can’t imagine Harris Michaels as a long term character, but obviously the Bo & Hope thing from “Beyond Salem” ended on a cliffhanger. Megan’s already back, and Bo & Hope are scheduled to show up in a few weeks, so it makes perfect sense that Harris will show up somewhere in between.
Since Days tapes 6 months in advance, there’s nothing keeping Jason Morgan from showing up in Port Charles right around May sweeps or so. Or maybe earlier, if they want to make the 60th anniversary better.
The minute Steve Burton checks back in to GH is the minute I check out. Don’t wish him ill will but have no desire to watch the wooden stunted character of Jason ever again.
So you prefer the wooden stunted character of Cody or Dex? Or the soul sucking parasite Nina?
I love Cody and Dex. If I remember correctly, you used to watch OLTL, yes? Do you remember Josh Kelly played Amanda Setton’s brother on that? Cutter Wentworth? GH is just dragging Cody’s story out like they’ve done with Austin which after what…two years (seems like) they’re only finally featuring him,and we still don’t know his real backstory. I’m hoping Cody is really Mac’s son which they seemed to indicate, and that the truth finally comes out. I’d hate to see the character cut before he’s actually given a chance; the backlash was too great, too soon.
As for Dex? I think he’s a keeper. What you consider “wooden stunted” I see as extremely mellow, subtle, yet effective. There’s just something about his demeanor that’s really grown on me. I find him adorable, charming, sexy…and great in the romance scenes with Joss who I abhor, by the way. I have to admit though that they have chemistry. It’s a catch 22 because I adore him; can’t stand her.
Oh, and leave Nina alone, lol! How anyone could not like her and feel for her is beyond me….Seeing yet another child of one of Carly’s enemies cozy up to her may be predictable, but never stops causing a violent wave of nausea!
I never watched OLTL at all. That’s the main reason I’ve opposed everything Frank Valentini & his former sidekick ReRon have done to integrate their old show into GH. They were doing it very blatantly until Prospect Park sued them, thinking it would undermine the streaming version of OLTL… which was pretty much dead before it started. Ironically might have done much better with that if they had launched it now. Days seems to be doing well on Peacock.
I don’t see a point to the Cody character at all. And I definitely don’t see him as anybody who could have Scorpio DNA… he’s way too dumb for that. And the only way “Dex” really works as a character is if he’s really a brainwashed & facially reconstructed Morgan Corinthos who has been planted by Lorenzo Alcazar to infiltrate the Corinthos organization & family from the inside and cause complete & total chaos. Why Alcazar? Because he was the last guy who tried to smuggle weapons through Sonny’s territory, so of course he’s the guy pulling the strings of this “Pikeman” mercenary thug group.
As for Nina, the only time she was really tolerable was when she was with Val the Bastard. They seemed to “humanize” each other, oddly enough. She wasn’t so bad with Jax either, I guess. But ever since the Tricky Dick Nixon Falls thing, she’s gone completely mental.
Rebecca1,
Well, you’re not alone my dear. I also like Cody and always felt he was a good person who made bad choices when he came to PC, especially with Brett.I don’t think there is any doubt that Mac is his dad, Cody held the DNA paper away after seeing the results and let the group think the test was negative for paternity. Poor Mac is just yearning to be a dad and will certainly be hurt and mad when he finds out that Cody lied to him. Surprise! I like Dex too and still hold to my theory and belief that he is Sonny’s son, despite Satan’s being adamant about him being a Morgan re-do. I can’t stand Joss either and just hope he doesn’t get her pregnant and he becomes tied to her. I used to like Nina with Valentin, but when she became obsessed with Nelle and than Willow and with her nosy, intrusive ways,she now just bugs the hell out of me.
Funny thing – you never know which characters catch on for the long term. If you told me the dastardly doctor who kept beloved Robin Scorpio captive in 2012 and put her father in a year’s long coma would grow into one of my favorite GH characters – I’d be surprised. I never thought Nina had long term potential either, but look where we are. Now, Harris might not be as dynamic as Liesl, but it all depends on who they pair the character with and the writing.
I’ll believe Jason is headed back to PC when some anvils drop a few months ahead or he casually comes up in conversation.
Not surprised. Ken Corday’s POV on the COVID situation has been real shady and questionable, so I’m not surprised he hired Steve Burton. Surprised he didn’t try reaching out to someone else, too. I would not feel safe on that set.
You do get that COVID was not serious, please get out from the rock you are under… COVID was a political tool, not a serious disease.
Stop virtual signaling… the vaccine is more harmful than COVID will ever bee
General hospital tv star actor, Steve Burton I I want you back on General Hospital not on days our Lives
Not going to happen.
I hope not, only because I’m sick of all these people drooling over him.
It could happen; Steve left on good terms unlike Ingiot, between his trans retweet, his comparing covid cards to nazi germany and his lawsuit.
