Today as fans of General Hospital watched the story begin to reveal itself for Kimberly McCullough’s (Robin) exit storyline, viewers learned that according to Victor Cassadine (Thaao Penghlis), Jason Morgan is alive and in a cryogenic state!
Victor showed once again Jason’s picture to Robin, which got curious fans on Twitter to ask Steve Burton directly if he was by any chance returning to General Hospital to reprise his role of Jason or, is he continuing to stay on The Young and the Restless as Dylan McAvoy?
Chris Burgess tweeted from @CBRVA “@1SteveBurton Are you still under contract with #YR, Steve? They showed your picture as Jason on GH!” To which Burton replied, “Yes, just re signed.” And with that, it should put an end to any rumor that Steve is returning to Port Charles any time soon.
So, what do you think of the news that Steve is staying put at Y&R? Were you hoping that he was returning to GH? What do you think of Victor using Jason to pull at the emotional strings of Robin to get her to do the Cassadine dirty work? Weigh-in!

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny Tells Dante, “I Don’t Want a Son Like You,” While Michael Tells Brook Lynn to Bide Her Time Till Chase and Willow Have an Affair
On the Thursday, October 1 episode of General Hospital, both Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) had some things to say and what they had to say didn’t go over well with whom they were talking to!
Sonny had a confrontation with his son, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), while Michael leveled with Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) over Chase (Josh Swickard).
GH is setting up a scenario where everyone is going to make it look like Sonny was responsible for having Sidwell (Carlo Rota) beat up in Pentonville; while viewers already know Ava (Maura West) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) were behind it.

A VISIT WITH DAD
Now, Dante comes to Sonny’s house. He wants to know straight up from his dad if he ordered the attack at Pentonville. Sonny flatly denies any culpability or responsibility, but Dante refuses to believe him.
Dante informs Sonny he has video footage of Sully and Vito at the prison. Sonny explains to Dante he doesn’t know why Sully beat up both Curtis and Dante. Things escalated when Sonny was deeply hurt that Dante refused to believe him. Dante says he was disappointed that his father didn’t respect him enough to be truthful with him!
Sonny asks Dante to consider that he was being set up. He says all he did was to tell Vito to instruct Sully to keep a watchful eye on Sidwell, not to harm him. No matter what Sonny said, Dante continued hammering him with how he knew deep down, even though he said he left the mob, he had to finish off Sidwell for himself.
Next, Sonny explains everything he has ever done was to provide for and to protect his family. Dante fired back that he doesn’t want to deal anymore with Sonny’s half-baked truths. As the two men argue, Gio (Giovanni Mazza) shows up at Sonny’s front door and overhears Sonny losing his temper and shouting at Dante, “Get out of my house! I don’t want a son like you!” The scenes featured an excellent performance by Maurice Benard.

MICHAEL THE MANIPULATOR
While this is going down, outside the Quartermaine boathouse, Brook Lynn opens up to Michael about living at the Q’s with Chase being there, since he only came back due to legal advice from his lawyer, Monet Mitchell (Blythe Howard).
Brook Lynn questioned whether they should get legally separate. Michael insisted that would be a big mistake. When she asks why, Michael tells Brook Lynn to bide her time until Chase and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) have an affair; then she’d have full custody of Phoebe.
An angered Brook Lynn pushed Michael into the water and accuses him of moving Willow back into the gatehouse with intent on putting Chase and Willow in closer proximity and sacrificing Brook Lynn’s family in the process. As the two cousins bicker, Chase shows up asking Brook Lynn if she is OK. Michael punctuates their talk with “You know, I’m right.”
CURTIS FIGURES OUT A WAY TO GET OUT OF THE SLAMMER
At GH, Willow visits Curtis (Donnell Turner) in his hospital room. Curtis wants Willow to get him pardoned and keep him out of jail, and in return, he will help her nail Sonny.
Next, Willow tells Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) she wants Curtis held for observation for three more days. He agrees to do so under one condition, that she understands that he may need to call in a favor from a congresswoman.
So, what did you think of how Dante accused his father and refused to believe Sonny’s answers? Is this the end of their father and son relationship for good? Is Michael the most manipulative person of all, except for Willow? Do the two deserve each other? Do you want Chase and Willow to have an affair? And what of Curtis? Does he have many redeeming qualities left? Share your thoughts via the comment section, but first check out the talk Michael had with Brook Lynn.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Ava and Drew Revealed to be Behind Framing Sonny for Sidwell’s Prison Beatdown
If you thought that the person responsible for the Pentonville brawl that saw Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and Curtis (Donnell Turner) taken to General Hospital was Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) or even Sidwell himself, you were dead wrong! On the Wednesday, September 30 episode of GH, it turned out that the culprits were actually Ava (Maura West) and Drew (Cameron Mathison).
In story, Drew apparently bankrolled the attack on Sidwell and framing Sonny. He told Ava their planned worked (she came up with it!) but was horrified when Drew informed her that Curtis got caught in the crosshairs. Ava is visibly upset because of her longtime friendship with Curtis’ daughter, Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali). Drew tried to make Ava see the bright side. Curtis was witness to it and his presence will cast doubt on Sonny’s claims to that he had gotten out of the mob and gone legit.
Later, Vito shows up at Drew’s. They informed him that his guy on the inside of the slammer made a big mistake by hurting their friend and ordered him to leave town.

BOATHOUSE BRAWL
In other major developments, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and Rocco (Finn Carr) have a blow out fight as Danny blames his “brother” for the reason Charlotte was sent off to boarding school.
Rocco told off Danny for Charlotte’s (Bluesy Burke) reckless behavior and he explains he had to protect his sister. He went in on Danny saying that his mother Lulu (Alexa Havins) has been right to send Charlotte to boarding school and far away from Danny.
However, Rocco went a bit too far when he shouted, “And if your mom was alive, she would send you away too!” Next, Danny punched out Rocco, leading to a terrible brawl. An angered Danny yells at Rocco to, “Stay away from me and everyone in my family. And don’t you ever mention my mom again!” Danny storms off.

Now alone outside the boathouse, Rocco flashes back to his first kiss with Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarksi), hoping that his fight with Danny will not escalate and ruin their budding romance. Meanwhile, a bloodied-mouth Danny heads over to Sonny’s and Jason (Steve Burton) is there at the same time. He then admits that he has a bad fight with Rocco and they are both beaten up.
WILL SCOUT WISE UP?
At the end of the episode, Scout, who had a fight with Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) over Drew, and who keeps telling everyone how good a man her dad truly is, comes upon a suspicious scene.
Scout hides behind the wall outside Drew’s. She sees her dad, Ava and Vito talking. Next, Scout seems to overhear Vito assuring Drew and Ava that their business dealings are done, and he’ll be leaving Port Charles for good.
So, what did you think of the reveal that Ava and Drew were behind framing Sonny for the prison beatdown of Sidwell (and Curtis)? Do you think Danny and Rocco’s relationship can be repaired, or do you think the teenagers will continue to be at each other’s throats? Finally, do you hope Scout gets a clue and stops thinking her dad walks on air? Weigh-in via the comment section, but first check out how Ava and Drew conspired below.

LOLOL Well He Better Stick With The Y&R lolol
But Dullan is soooooooooooooooooooo boring!!!
Agree Dillon is extremely boring.
Yup! Better he stays with Y&R i dont want him on GH! Its better without him. I say Billy Miller as new Jason
I actually thnk Adam would be great as the new Jason Morgan.
Michael Muhney on GH would be a great addition.
never missed steve Burton or Jason one minute.
neither have I and they should have already recasted the role
Steve please come back to GH! We miss Jason Morgan. No one else can play the role better than you. I have tried watching you on Y&R and your story lines are just boring. We miss the action and super couple of Jason and Sam. I will always be a fan of yours just waiting for you to move on from Y&R.
I agree with you. No one can be as good as Jason as Steve Burton. I hope he decides to come back to GH.
he is not coming back to gh. are people not reading the article? he just re signed at young and the restless again
I agree!
Everyone I know including myself wants to see Jason back on GH.
Even my husband .
Jason’s return is what everyone is waiting for. Dillon is an ok character but not as thrilling and entertaining as Jason.
Send Steve Burton back to GH. On GH he shines as a character. On Y&R he fades into the background (Yawn). Very boring storyline.
Figured it was just a trap to get her to cooperate didn’t think Steve was coming back since they give him the schedule he wants on Y&R.
I don’t think its a trap I believe Jason will return. I’m thinking the photo is of Steve because you can’t show a new Jason cuz there isn’t one yet & would really be stupid to show a different pic to Robin it wouldn’t make sense ~jmo~
so very true, and we the audience I Identity with Steve as Jason
i was thinking that might be the case to after i thought about it a while
Why did Victor show a picture? Why couldn’t he just say Jason’s name?
Jean absolutely no-one takes a Cassadine word. Robin would never just say “ok Victor just let me pack” but it dies seem like he had more than just a picture
Why would SB leave Y&R he has been there a year non stop story they have made it so he can commute he has stated he is very content. I really am sorry that KMC/Robin came back they have done nothing but make a mockery out of her character.
Agree about the character of Robin. It might just be me, but it also seems to be that she’s more “bitchy” than the Robin everyone feel in love with over the years. I’m not suggesting she be a wuss but it just doesn’t seem the same.
I absolutely, LOVE, KM’ Robin
for all that she’s lived
HOWEVER, it’s not just me…. to me… she seems uncomfortable, now,
doing, the acting thing
i’ll simply chalk it up… to… her passion… directing… is her forte
Scrubs…. “sigh” is one for the history books
dare, I say… Dr. Drake was humane the other day…. with
drum roll
LOL…. “Britt”
I just hope it’s not back to the same ole, same ole…. Sabrina
I apoligize to the actor…. you give more… with Carlos
I agree with you about Kimberly…I was never a big fan of Robin, and I never wanted her to come back, but this “return” has completely destroyed the character for me. The best thing they could do would be for Robin to really, truly die so that Patrick and Emma can move on with their lives. Especially if it’s true that she won’t be back for at least a couple years.
Frank & Ron are great at destroying beloved characters, for example John McBain and Natalie Buchanan. It just depends on what they need fom the character…..they have no loyalty to the characters fans or history.
well… i’d be pissed… because of love for the storyline… she and Patrick created….
so… i’d rather see her kidnapped… and, if he goes back to Sabrina
for the fans… it’d be like one step forward 2 steps back….
ugh! please, no.
victor cassidine… should give her an injection… of memory loss or something… if they are going to go the science fiction route
just dont’ kill Robin off… it’d be too much
Don’t you understand that Robin’s return has been written in such a way as to destroy her character so fans can finally accept Sappy with Patrick once and for all? This was Ron and Frank’s intent.
I hope Kimberly comes back soon no one can stand the same all their lives everyone grows and changes. I hope robin comes back very fast
She is going into directing full time be happy for her that is her passion! I just wish they would have left it alone left her dead! Good Luck KMC may you live your dreams!
No way for one second did I ever think that Steve Burton would return to GH .. it’s not going to happen..
can’t understand how some people can believe that gossip lol ..
‘Gossip’? No. Heartless screwing with the fans by Frank and Ron, yeah actually. Assuming your right of course. I’ll give TPTB the benefit of the doubt until it’s obvious that they were screwing with us. Rule #1, don’t dangle fan favorites in front of GH fans if you can’t back it up or you’ll face serious backlash and outrage. It’s really a betrayal to the fans if it’s some kind of a joke.
They’re just upping their bait and switch tactics…. they’ll try anything except improving the actual stories that they write.
I 100% agree with you. To us serious and loyal GH fans it was heart wrenching seeing his picture!
Oh, please. I’m just as loyal a viewer as anyone, and it was nowhere near ‘heartwrenching’ for me to see that picture. Exasperating is the word I’d use. As it is, however, I’m fine with Jason being used as a story construct to facilitate Robin’s exit. Works for me.
Good for you Pen. Congratulations!
There are just too many gullible dorks our there. SB will not return to GH. He signe a ew contract with Y&R. A new actor will play the roll of JM. The character will havd had a face transplant and a story line to go with it. Best bet for the roll is MM who is without a contract since Y&R let him go. But, the JM character will be written back into life for the sole purpose of writing it off the books. It;s the same blue print as is for the Robin character. Now, if JM is kept, it will be with a brand new identity and new story. ( Face change, brain altered, a return towards his medical roots. ) NOTE: GH has been doing a slow but recognizable shift from mob town back to it’s roots as a medical soap show. Still keeping the popular SC and others for flavor but one year from now GH will be thought of as a medical drama soap 80% to 20% mobster drama soap…….. GH-sw/cda….
AGREE, they should have just left his name out of the picture Y bring up hope for all the fans!! UNLESS HE’S ( STEVE) HOLDING OUT FOR MORE $$$… I get he’s happy in another place and enjoying the family life but AGAIN Y BRING UP HIS NAME PERIOD, there’s tons of ppl that u can bring bk to life.. either bring him bk or shut it down dont bring up the subject!! PLZ..
really wish you would come back GH!!!! we all miss you on GH. nobody could play your part like you 🙂 miss you would Sam….. would love to see you guys back together with your baby. please come back all your found want u to come back.
Well he didn’t deny a GH appearance. Maybe Y&R would be willing to loan him out for a single, brief GH cameo to coincide with Robin’s final day of her GH stint. Ron and Frank have achieved the impossible before and Jill Phelps seems like she would be willing to make that gesture for one scene. In other words, if this isn’t the case, I’m ticked off because that is screwed up to tease the audience to this extent. It would seriously damage my opinion of the integrity of Frank and Ron.
That is about as likely a scenario as chocolate rain in the Los Angeles basin.
So your telling me there’s a chance! Seriously tho your probably right. I don’t think that’s fair that he’s on that boring show that all the oldsters watch and GH still teased a comeback. Now I’m going to ffwd all the Dante/Lulu scenes to pay them back. I’d quit watching altogether but I’m too addicted.
Jill would never let that happen. She doesn’t know how to play nice in the playground lol
Days loaned out Wally Kurth to GH, so he could play Ned for a handful of episodes.
I highly doubt that JFP would allow Steve to go back to GH for any reason.
Other shows have been OK with actors doing that…DOOL with Eileen Davidson to Y&R and Wally Kurth to GH…but they also aren’t contract players, whereas Steve is. I don’t recall a “contract player” doing any crossover work.
Not to mention that no one in the soap industry has the reputation for pettiness to the extent that JFP does.
uhhhhh…Matthew…what’s an oldster? ha! sad.
Cherie…Jill Farren Phelps doesn’t know how to play nice PERIOD!!!!!
He could be under a gag order by the heads at abc and gh. You get offered enough money, you will do as your told. Gh also had to get permission to use his image.
No, they actually don’t have to get permission to use his image for that. They do have to pay him for it, though. And if he says he signed with YR, I tend to believe him. I don’t think he’s under any sort of ‘gag order’ from ABC. *snort*
Gag orders have been in place before. As for permission, I bet your right. And it’s not clear how long the contract is..
They have, but that’s extremely rare, and requires legal action to do so. Also, there’s no extant reason for ABC to gag him, nor would they have any authority or leverage to do so.
If I’m not mistaken, I believe Burton stated he signed for two more years at least.
Of couse SB is staying on at Y&R – with MM and BM gone, JFP is free to cement Steve Burton in as the leading man on the show, just as he was when they were both on GH – The have already given Dylan the coffee house and made him Nikki’s son, it won’t be long before all of Genoa City revolves around Dylan – just like it was with Jason on GH – that is the reason I stopped watching that soap and started watching Y&R in the first place, and now history is repeating itself.
And when that happens, I will probably wean myself off that show.
I don’t know why he signed another year to Y&R…but then again I have stopped watching Y&R since BM & MM left-the real actors. SB doesn’t have any range, and to be quite honest the role of Dylan should have gone to someone else because he is written very poorly. But even the worst dialogue can show an actors range from his emotions alone, and he doesn’t give that. But that’s JMO. I’m grateful he’s not returning to GH!
Glad he’s staying on Y&R….Sam and Silas are OUTSTANDING together…Michael Easton and Kelly Monaco are like acting soul mates. By the way…Steve Burton’s departure from GH hasn’t hurt GH’s ratings a bit…in fact…they’ve improved.
I beg to differ Steve’s absence has created a huge void and GH is Not the same without him. KM can leave though I don’t like her anyway and I want Patrick back with Sabrina. As for Sam and Silas I hate them together she belongs with Jason!
@ Barbara, SB IMO was dead weight, no void to fill, but he did give room for others to play a role, if he wanted to be sideline, why go to Y&R and be on everyday. He shouldn’t even be in the opening credits on Y&R.
I want robin back she is a icon of the show but then no one agrees to the same thing . everyone has the right to their own opinion I just like robin
Patricia I soooo agree with u I cant stand Silas at all, he and Liz can leave!!! Liz needs to join a convent, omg is there any1 she hasn’t slept with??!!! I get Robin wants to write but what’s the point of coming bk just to leave again??
Agreed! Sam and Silas are much better than Sam and Jason! I think Sam would stay with Silas anyway… Kelly Monaco and Michael Easton have way too much chemistry to waste such a thing!
I agree; I love Sam and Silas; they’re wonderful together and have a beautiful dynamic together. Plus, Silas treats her with more respect than Jason ever did. And I categorically regard the idea of ‘belonging’ to one person only is utter codswallop.
No surprise, his sugar momma runs the show and he’s the highest paid actor/model on Y&R. She ran off Stafford, Miller and Muhney to pay this guy even more. Ugh.
Steve B makes more money than Eric B?
If he does that’s funny, lol. I think he’s one note. He’s not JJ the former/real Lucky who has gone on to a talented role on Nashville. But hey, let him sink the ship on Y&R-it’s long overdue.
Truth Detective…your comment made my day…LOL!!!!!
Im thrilled that he is NOT coming back to GH. I adore Steve, have since I was a kid watching him on Out of This World, but GH is so much better now that Jason is gone. It become the Jason show. I just hope they don’t recast, cause I don’t want to get back into the Jason show. I want to see the talents of ALL the other actors.
Kimberly could only be on GH for a short time, so they had to give Robin an excuse to leave town, Jason is a good excuse, lets just hope nothing comes of it.
I am okay with a recast as long as he doesn’t invade the screen too much, and no coming between Sam and Silas!
When Jason comes back there WILL NOT be JFP around writing or directing for him so GH will not become the the Steve Burton show the way Y/R has. GH def needs Jason back. Billy Miller will be perfect lets go RC & FV. We are def ready for a Jason return.
Exactly. Why can’t TPTB of all soaps realize that letting one actor or actors dominate a soap eventually will lead to boredom and lower ratings? Even fans who do adore an actor or a couple on a show do not want to see them 24/7. This usually also causes resentment by every else and they turn the channel for sure. It’s happened over and over.
I think Billy Miller should be a Quatermaine from Jimmy Holt’s side of the family. We don’t need Jason, he was Alan’s affair with Susan Moore and she’s dead, and that’s how he should stay.
I would love to see Billy Miller play any part. 🙂
I agree completely with KatieK. The one thing I am having trouble with (given this storyline) is the ease in which Robin will likely leave Emma. Okay, I can see that she can justify the situation (Patrick is a great dad, he moved on with his life with Sabrina, She (Robin) can’t work with Ulbrecht, I’m sure Robin will discover that Sabrina’s baby is Patrick’s, etc.). BUT, how will she justify leaving Emma EVEN to rescue Jason?
I love Steve Burton, and I enjoy his character on Y&R, and while he will always be Jason to me, I did not think he was going back to GH, and I get it, his Y & R role (Dylan) is versatile, and he gets the schedule that works best for he and his family, but wouldn’t it be funny if Billy Miller takes on the role of Jason, now that he is no longer on Y&R? Again, Steve Burton will always be Jason to me, but I can see Billy Miller giving that part do justice for sure.
I’m gal he is not coming back he is the most boring actor on daytime tv
IA Mark bravo!, he is!
That is so true.
I always thought that I didn’t like JASON ,but I now know it was SB’S ACTING I DIDN’T LIKE SINCE HES BEEN ON Y&R.I’M HOPING MICHAEL MUHNEY WILL COME ON,AS JASON OR SOMEONE ELSE,
Michael Muhney as Jason! Their ratings will soar.
Michael should be the new Dillon or Lucky Spencer.
I am afraid Ron will make Michael Muhney a joke just like he did to poor Roger Howarth, who has totally lost his cool factor and mystique since coming to Port Charles.
MM is not coming to GH the public arena has destroyed him in the daytime. I will have him on my prayer list yes I pray and hope he finds work and peace! Sorry their are a few of us out here that are not afraid to admit we pray that does not make us racist homophobic etc it just makes us having faith! I do not judge I have open arms and guess what lots of gay friends who I embrace with open loving arms it s not for me to judge. I am just a mortal on this planet for a short time!
I really doubt they’ll hire Muhney at GH.
Sam and Silas (Kelly Monaco and Michael Easton), is doing fine without him
Of course, they paid for the picture!…..Anyway, we will have Billy Miller make
an appearance very soon……The Liarsions, The JnR(Bore)…and the Snarly fans
will have something to fight about…….it’s gonna be a bumpy ride
Go Sam and SILAS+ Ababy Girl
I love the fact that Ron C who has zero idea what to do with Robin Scorpio, has suddenly made the character not only a doctor but a genius scientist. Maybe when he brings her back for some stunt casting, she’ll be the first female Pope. Honest to God!
Hey, if it’s true that GH hired Michael Muhney, then I’m just thinking that he could be a new Jason! LOL!
we don’t need jason, so good ridince, stay with the #1 most boring soap “The Young and the Restless”!
I think if SB is unavailable by the time KM comes back to finish the story, they could recast.
Hoping RKK comes back.,
Well this sucks. I was so hoping steve Burton was comming back to GH…. I so miss you. Why did u re-sign? GH NEEDS TO SWEETEN THE DEAL. DANG IT.
Sorry, don’t hold your breath on that one.
I hope Michael Muhney is cast as the nu Jason Morgan on GH. Steve Burton is a waste on Y&R I would FF through all of his boring scenes prior to quitting the show as a watcher/fan. JFP has literally ruined what was once the number one soap in daytime. GH and DOOL are much better now.
I agree, Toscanti, Steve Burton is SO BORING ON Y&R. GH should do better than that and hire Michael Muhney. He is bound to send ratings soar sky high and be a big asset to the show. I stopped watching Y&R after JFP made it a laughing stock and have been watching GH. I’m keeping my fingers that I will see MM there sooooooooooooon!!!
In a perfect world YR would loan him out for just a day so he could film one scene where Robin goes into the lab to see Helena, Stavros, and Jason in cryo before Victor closes the door behind her.
I wouldn’t say that Burton would NEVER return to GH– as a lot of people have left certain shows over the years & make surprising returns later– but have no hopes of it being anytime soon. They don’t have to bring the character of Jason back until “Robin” makes her next return, and by then they can say it was all a Cassadine trick or recast.
I understand why so many people don’t like the idea of Burton being on YR as a “Friend of Jill” and will agree that Burton is limited in the type of characters he can portray, but I surprisingly like his portrayal of Dylan. The PTSD was some of his best stuff.
I’m glad. GH needs to focus on developing some new characters and ease up a bit on try to recreate past magic. Oh, and eliminate mob wars and guns.
Too bad I won’t watch him on Y&R — he needs to come back to GH permanently.
Since I stopped watching Y&R after Jan 30th he can stay there. Michael Easton and Kelly Monaco are outstanding, entertaining, exciting together as Silas and Sam. GH is better without Steve Burton and and the ratings are good so he can stay with JFP at Y&R. I don`t want Jason to be back but it will be interesting if Michael Muhney takes the role. But if MM is ever going to be cast to play any role at GH it better be someone new.
We all knew he wasn’t going to leave Jill. Good for him. He’s a better Jason than Dylan any way. I also think he was a better actor on GH. He’s just not doing it for me on Y/R. With that said. You did choose sides Steve. Good Luck w that. Bring on Billy Miller. Jason needs to go on & everyone is replaceable. Even Steve Burton. If you love Soaps as I do as long as it’s a believable storyline, I always give replacements a chance for the stories sake.
Apparently signing a contract at Y&R doesnt mean anything. Michael Muhney had signed a new contract in April/13.
Contracts definitely do mean something, but generally when the circumstances involve accusations such as those levied at MM, the contract has a void clause. It’s not uncommon. And it doesn’t mean you can just ‘walk away’ from a contract. Please.
Glad he is staying on Y&R ! GH is a sinking ship and if he went back they would just wreck Jason like every other vet. Maybe all the vets should head over to Y&R.
…sure, if you call a sinking ship steadily increasing ratings (which started rising after Cartini took over an then also surged almost immediately after Jason died), placing within spitting distance of taking over B&B’s spot, and gaining on Y&R. The show has had consistent gains over the last two years and began hitting the 3M viewer mark in October—and then continued hitting that number and above each week since then. Which, by the way, is a viewer total it had not achieved since 2002.
Hardly a sinking ship, sweetie. Check your facts.
SWEETIE check your facts, KM return and the other vets are why the numbers were up ,Do you really think all those people started watching because of Patrick and Sabrina’s wedding, nope , now that all the vets are leaving I see the numbers going down. plus the numbers mean nothing! People watch because that is what they have done for many many years but if you look at all the blogs the fans are not happy with GH. I watched for 38 years and stopped watching after they wrecked all the vets, but am still a Y&R fan and I am happy all the GH vets are jumping ship.
Um, sorry, but the numbers most certainly DO mean something, and I think the network would beg to differ with you. 😉 And the numbers had started going up long before KM was back on the show, and have continued an upward trend. Meanwhile, there are still many vets still on canvas; not “all” of them are “jumping ship” by a long shot. In fact, Ric Hearst just debuted yesterday, which is in direct contradiction to your claim! Hughes, Grahn, Geary, Benard, Wright, Monaco, Zamprogna, Herring, Elliot, Buchanan Shriner, York, Wagner, and Lindstrom are all still very much on canvas, as is Leslie Charleson. Kinda seems to me that they would constitute “Vets”, wouldn’t they? Are they all “jumping ship”? Um, no.
But it’s impossible to explain such a thing to someone who is quite obviously decided –erroneously, I might add — on the way things are. You may also want to be careful of using words like ‘all’ “everybody” and “nobody”, since you do not speak for those people. And again, the numbers prove that. And again, numbers matter to the network and the advertisers–both of whom I can assure you are very pleased and happy with the show.
Have fun in your bubble, though. It’s no trouble to me. 🙂 I’ll be enjoying the show with the 3-million plus (and growing ) other viewers.
Thats okay Dullyn, stay put Michael Muhney will kindly take over the role of Jason on GH.
Well said, Tim!
Highly doubtful that GH will hire Muhney. I wouldn’t get my hopes up about that.
Well, no way could having Steve Burton return to GH make the show worse. It was pretty terrible back in the day when his emotionless mug, along with Sonny’s orange one, were the center of the show, but these days he wouldn’t even be noticed with all the awfulness of the show.
And his underacting would be a welcome relief to the ants-in-his-pants, bugs-down-his-back overacting of Roger Howarth.
Jason isnt coming back to GH…at least for now! Victor is an evil Cassidine and lied to Robin to trick her!!! Fans,however, are funny…for months they wrote Robin needs to come home, that Emma needs her mommy but no one writes Jason needs to come home so baby Danny doesnt grow up without a father?
He will have a father…..Silas Clay, and a Baby sister….watch and see!!
Oh brother
Imagine that — a father figure who isn’t a criminal, thug, and sociopathic killer, emotional abuser, philanderer, and all-around misogynistic, self-absorbed jerk? Who would actually be able to raise kids and not try to pawn them off on others or force the mothers to put them up for adoption because his job is too dangerous, but a job which is also more important to him than any offspring he might have, so someone else has to make the sacrifices so he can do what he wants?
I can get behind that. Daddy Silas sounds great to me.
I never believed SB was going back to GH— but I do believe at some point in time they might recast the role of Jason— his frozen state and experiments on him at the clinic could explain away why he would look different. But at this moment in time, I don’t see any place on the canvas for the character Jason— maybe if Sam and Silas ever get married, they bring him back to stop the wedding— it seems to be the thing to do in soaps, bring back th “dead” to stop weddings during sweeps week, but other than that, Jason is just a memory now.
Not liking that she is leaving again she just got back well her husband will just get closer to his baby and when she does come back she’ll be out in the cold.
I don’t like it. 😛 I hope Robin gets to say goodbye to Patrick & Emma this time.
He isn’t going back to GH because JFP being in charge of Y&R will make sure he is on every single episode. The people in charge at GH like mixing up the characters so what reason would he have to go back.
…every boring episode, that is!
I actually agree with Matthew. I believe they could use him for one quick shot to show he is actually alive. Then, like they did with the Robin character, not show his character again for a year or so. By then, he can come back to GH, or they can recast the part and people won’t be so angry. It makes a lot of sense.
People are tired of GH and their little tricks, doesn’t make sense, The way they have set it up for the reason why Robin is leaving GH, and they could try to find a look alike for Jason, and let him find his way back to PC he could have had amnesia after the gunshot and just now regaining his memory, Robin could be taking a job at another hospital until they get rid of the New Chief of Staff.
There couldn’t possibly be a “look alike” for Steve Burton. He is One of A Kind! lol
Well they found a look alike for Carol Burnett, and I have lived long enough to know everybody has a twin somewhere, but that is beside the point, AJ could have been a Jason if he wasn’t playing AJ, no you won’t find another Jason, he has made that Character, but you can beat what you are doing, trying to place with people interest in the soap, keep playing and soon you will be like All My Children and One Life To Live, then we will see who has te last laugh ha ha!
Well, there was one long ago, the other Steve, as in McQueen.
This breaks my heart I was so excited when I saw the picture I did know if this happen it would be a long time I know that there is one Jason and if its nor Steve I don’t want it I hate the fact that y and r got you I thought you would be with GH forever its not the same I wish there was something we could say or do to let you know how much you are missed and loved that you have fans that watch you for years and we will wait for your return please come back at sometime and GH needs to do whatever it takes to get u back I liked it better when there was a chance now I’m sad again
I wish SB would come back to GH. It looks like Robin will be gone for at least another year so maybe SB will come back at the same time? That would be awesome!
Just recast Jason
I had read he was leaving GH originally to live on a farm in Tennessee & raise his family? One day I hear he’s on Y&R… Guess he’s too young & restless to retire?? 🙂 Sure miss Jason though 🙁 Best to him Always!!! Jill MacLean
I agree 100% with you Jill. I really liked Jason and Sam, they were great together and it took awhile for them to really hook up.
How does GH even have the ability to show Steve Burton’s photo? They must own the rights to the “Jason” character. But with him under contract to another network, how can ABC show his actual picture? It would be the BEST thing for GH if Steve would come back, but if you read his Facebook posts, he is very happy with his family in Nashville, and can fly into L.A. for filming. It seems ABC wasn’t willing to let him do that, and his family was most important to him. Steve Burton KNOWS his GH fans will always support him! Right????
Why would Burton come back? As soon as Ron and Frank were at the helm, they started destroying the Jason character in order to prop up John McBain in order to make it okay for Sam to leave Jason for McBain.
Hmm…destroying a veteran character in order to prop up another character? Seems to be a pattern for Ron and Frank.
So recast Jason if he isn’t returning.
I want to see Jason return but, if not the get someone else to take his place. Don’t
I think that was bad. Everyone hated that they removed him in the first place.I get to see him on Young and Restless but his role is not really him. I want to see him back with Sam.
Sorry to disappoint you!!!….SBU isn’t coming back, they will recast the role
right when Sam is getting married to Silas Clay!!….
Speak for yourself. I was perfectly happy to see that character exit the canvas. Who’s this ‘everybody’ you’re talking about? And they may not recast the role or bring the character back at all. 😉
