General Hospital

The Heart-Tugging Scenes Of GH's JaSam! Steve Burton Delivers In Tender Moments!

Courtesy/ABC

Courtesy/ABC

If you caught yesterday’s episode of General Hospital, which is getting mighty good we might add, JaSam fans hopefully were jumping for joy, when Jason and Sam, and little baby Danny decided to leave the hospital together as a family!

What made these little nuggets of scenes so tender was the performances by Steve Burton (Jason) along with Kelly Monaco (Sam) and Laura Wright (Carly), which almost made us feel like those were Steve’s real emotions as he is preparing to say goodbye to his longtime co-stars!

In the episode, Jason tells Sam he wants to be a father to Danny and he wants to be a family.  He also tells Sam how much he loves her.  Later in a moment alone with Danny, Carly enters and there is a heartfelt hug about their friendship.

Kudos to GH’s head writer, Ron Carlivati for giving JaSam fans a long awaited moment, and in particular, Mr. Burton, who once again showed us that he can play tough as well as tender better than anyone in the genre …  something that will be surely missed!

What did you think of the performances and the scenes with JaSam on yesterday’s GH?  You can watch them again after the jump and then weigh-in!

I’ve been a GH fan since the days before Luke and Laura. Steve Burton has to be one of best actors GH has had. HIs range is exceptional. I love this character. Here’s hoping the story line doesn’t break my heart. Sam and Jason, were a great team. I will be sitting at the edge of my seat watching the turn of events. Let’s hope he makes appearances from time to time. No where is Frisco and Robert? lol Duke Lavery appeared wow…what’s his secret with Robine? love all these characters.

Sorry, but I just HAD to reply. “his range”??????????? The man virtually NEVER changes the expression on his face, the look in his eyes, or the tone of his voice (heck, he doesn’t even change the style of his wardrobe). He HAS no range. Happy, sad, furious, excited, confused – it doesn’t matter, the man is ALWAYS the same. For range, please see Jane Elliot.

Actually I think it would be even harder to play a character with brain damage that supposedly stunted his emotions, than a normal character. So for the fact that Steve Burton had to act within the confines of NOT showing emotions, I think he did a fabulous job. Wardrobe is not a choice made by the actors, and the way he dressed was also part of his character. Steve will be missed, but I’m sure he will have other projects soon enough.

Don’t worry they called in the calvary enter Sean Kanan as AJ when he puts the midget mobster on a meat hook. In the words of Clint Eastwood/Dirty Harry go ahead make my day until then. Yawn.

please see the other comments below that I agree with. Steve Burton emoted with such a subtle brilliance…he laughed, cried, judged with his eyes…you felt warmth, wrath, amusement…wonderful actor/character…will miss him greatly.

Perhaps you read this comment wrong.

I said range meaning” the distance or extent between possible extremes. Steve is an exception actor and has the ability to play any emotion with ease.

Please read more carefully. I loved this character and would never say anything derogatory.

To be fair,Jason was in a devastating car accident years ago,with a drunken AJ (then played by Sean Kanan).
At the time of the accident Jason was premed,going to be a doctor like his dad.
He suffered a serious brain injury that altered his personality,hence his demeanor for these many years.
Prior to the accident he was a very different guy.

I think Burton did a good acting job..That is the way the script was written for his particular character…That’s the way he was told to portray Jason….Thanks Lisa didn’t remember that car accident he had with AJ…..So now I understand
his personality & others will to.

so go online and show me just ONE example of how burton displayed ANY emotion. “has the ability to play any emotion with ease”: name one. Listen,if people find Burton attractive or nice or muscular or whatever, that is fine. more power to you. i like several movie and tv actors that aren’t really that great; i just like them. But to out-and-out lie, and say that burton can laugh and cry or emote, or that he is a great actor, when in plain fact he never had done any of those things, is kind of sad. just be honest:… Read more »

Steve Burton expresses more through his beautiful blue eyes & facial expressions than mere dialog ever could. I can never thank him enough for sharing this “gift” so generously with us for 21 years on #GH. I will miss him & the iconic character he has created in Jason Morgan more than I can ever express!

Please come back Steve and please let him be alive to come back! Please don’t recast him. The scenes with Carly were too short. I love Carly and Jason together and they both nailed it! Great job GH… I want more!!!

No one can replace Steve, just like no one can replace Tony. People, you should accept any thing Steve Burton wanted to sign. Don’t you understand the long term fan loves their characters. You can’t kill off Jason and not expect the ratings to drop.

I am still not convinced that he is really Duke he just happens to have the old face I still say it is Faison the actor who played Faison is retired from acting hence we got Ian Buchanan back.

We got the same thing on OLTL… Todd accepted that he isn’t Todd and took on the Victor Lord Identity, he and Tea were happy and in love. Finally knew that no matter what his name was, he was her soulmate, the love of her life and the next night… BANG… shot dead. I hate that RC did that.. but in the last 30 seconds of OLTL.. we got our Man back. So, Jason will be back someday… just as we Trevorites are waiting for Victor’s return and the final plug for the ROBOT running around calling himself Todd Manning.… Read more »

I enjoyed the touching scenes Jason had w/his circle of ppl. He had’em w/Sonny, Carly and Sam. I liked the line when Sonny said something about I haven’t taught u something in a long while, but you can’t protect everyone you love, etc…..and not to mention his scenes w/Carly and Sam. It was a mix of reel and real life sentiments. SB’s eyes were pinkish, blood shot in all of those scenes. THe poor man was probably crying his eyes out all day long. I do wish his last scenes w/Monica were more sentimental. Other than that I’m going to… Read more »

Thanks Susan:) Yeah, I’ve been watching for about 30 yrs now. I remember preppy/pre-med, reindeer sweater wearing Jason to the black t, hit man Jason he became. I know Jason, Sonny and Carly haven’t shared many scenes, to take away from it being the Carly, Sonny and Jason show. So it was nice that they had those last, meaningful scenes tog b4 he left. I don’t think those scenes were acting per say. I think the acting was holding back the tears, getting through the scenes and not falling apart:) IT was hard for me to watch those scenes, SO… Read more »

Sad not Liason goodbye. They were such a huge part of GH history and grew up together. Jasam never had the spark and Jason never had that same look in his eye for Sam. Also where was the big shoot out that fans expect> Rather boring. His character deserved more…

I agree Liason should have had goodbye scene because of their History together more than he had with Sam. They also had Jake his first child together. Said writers including the former writers refuse to acknowledge the relationship they had together and the rich History of the two families. Also fans seems to have forgotten the love he had for Robin and many more on this show. Jason’s love haven’t been just about Sam as some of their fans want to think. I believe we can all remember great storyline with Jason and other actresses on this show. I will… Read more »

Rodd
Guest

The scenes were great! And shooting Jason in the back was so cowardly. The one thing I can be glad about is that it happened on the pier and Jason was right on the edge…which means he could fall in, disappear and come back later, saying he floated away and took a while to heal, etc. But I hope he doesn’t die on screen. That would be tough.

susan
Guest

rodd i could not believe the low life coward (duke lavery is a loser) shot jason in the
back on the pier i did not like jason being written out like that he is our hero
and should have died or disappeared being a hero like he always has been

totally did not agree with the way RC ended jasons run on GH he has been
on aire @ GH 21 yrs and deserved a better send off than that

GET RID OF DUKE LAVERY ASAP!!! who wants to see him now
not that I did anyway to begin with he is a LOSER!!!!

He will be sorely missed, and I wish him well. That being said, I cannot believe they did not have him find out that the baby was his before he left, that is a MAJOR dissappointment. I am guessing that the information will be filtered to Sam within the next few weeks, so that she will find comfort in knowing that she has a part of Jason, which… Read more »

I’ll be just like everyone else and say Steve did a wonderful job as Jason and will be sorely missed .

How could they not let that come out first????

I loved the episodes until Jason was shot. (I didn’t like Bernie being killed either- the occasional work, I’m sure was something the actor enjoyed and he did his role well). I read today that Steve Burton actually offered to work occasionally at a paycut and GH said all or none. I think viewers should know this. So it was the choice of Carlivati and Valentini to basically give Steve a choice all or nothing. If Jason is killed off, I’m gone. Saw some people mentioned Duke. I watch GH in spite of the mob. We don’t need Duke. Never… Read more »

I cannot even describe in words how these scenes touched me. I felt like I was watching all of them struggle knowing these were final scenes for them. So bittersweet and beautiful. Jason accepting the baby as his own not even knowing it was his all along and Sam with her restored faith in believing she can finally be happy.

Still crying buckets of tears after yesterday’s episode . Already missing Steve, Steve & Kelly, and JaSam and Danny. GH did not give justice to Jason and Sam , as if our Jason Morgan would just crawl away from his gun ,our Jason Morgan would pick up his gun and shoot to kill back. Here’s hoping that Jason isn’t really dead and he;ll be back to make it right. Thank you Steve Burton for being our Jason Morgan, no recasts will do as you are Jason Morgan, JASAM 4EVER!!!

I think that the fact that they made the entire last month about Sam and the baby is a huge disservice to the character of Jason Morgan. And to have it be Duke Lavery, not one of the thousands of enemies that Jason had in his life, be the person who shot him? It’s just lazy writing to prop up stunt casting. And I’m sure we’ll see that it is all connected to AJ, but so many missed opportunites! But because the network forced the writers into this Jasam reunion before Burton left, they wrote themselves into a corner. Because… Read more »

I loved Steve Burton, he is the one and only Jason. A common criticism is of his lack of emotion, but if you watched the show for years, as I did, there is a progression in Jason from someone unable to feel or show emotion to someone who became less cold as time went on. He showed emotion especially well in yesterday’s show. I had thought he was going to get shot from the time Bernie called about “a matter of life or death” but I did not think he would have been ambused by the coward Duke Lavery. I… Read more »

In honor of Steve Burton’s final episode , here’s tribute to Jason and Steve. Why we love Jason …he’s Sam’s husband, Danny’s father, , a hero, he rides that motorcycle, looks so handsome in black leather, he loves children, he only kills the bad guys that truly deserve it, he’s super cool , he has those baby blue eyes that can convince, condemn, and console, he can speak a thousand words without saying a word and he always saves the girl in trouble.

General Hospital

Josh Swickard and Laura Wright Talk GH’s 60th Anniversary, Nurses’ Ball & The Loss of Beloved Colleagues

Today, we celebrate the incredible milestone of ABC’s General Hospital officially turning 60-years-old.  The soap debuted on this day on April 1,1963.

Two of the series current stars: Josh Swickard (Chase) and Laura Wright (Carly) chatted with Michael Fairman earlier this week for a conversation on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel.

Photo: ABC

Josh and Laura share what it has meant to be part of such an iconic television show, plus the two actors recall their GH  ‘audition’ stories, and who took them under their wing when they came to the GH set for the first time.

Photo: ABC

In addition, with the GH Nurses’ Ball returning next week, Josh teases what number he might sing when Chase takes the Nurses’ Ball stage, and if Chase will repair his relationship with Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) during the episodes.

GH’s Maurice Benard Gets Emotional During Surprise Family Reunion

Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos, General Hospital) was a guest today on the ABC syndicated-talker, Tamron Hall.  The three-time Daytime Emmy-winning star was on the show to promote GH’s 60th anniversary, which is on April 1st, while the series celebrates next week with the return of the Nurses’ Ball.

During his segment, Tamron surprised Maurice with an emotional reunion with his daughter Heather who has been in the U.S. Air Force on the east coast.  Benard had not seen her since October of last year.

Tamron’s set-up of the Benard surprise happened when she discussed his family and in particular, his daughter, Heather Andresen, who is his wife Paula Benard’s half-sister.  Hall said when her picture came on the screen, “This is her. You haven’t seen her in awhile.” But, Benard cut her off knowing exactly what was coming next and said, “Oh, don’t do that.”

Maurice legally adopted Heather when she was 15. So when Hall said, “You’re not the only one who made a special trip today. She wanted to be here … because I know it was rough getting on that plane and coming here,” Maurice was struggling to hold it together.

Tamron was referencing Maurice’s fear of flying, and in particular flying solo, which is what he had to do for this publicity tour in New York.  Next, Tamron brought out, “Airman First Class Heather Andresen.”

Benard and Heather embraced, as Maurice continued to get emotional and told Heather how proud of her he was.

You can watch the very touching moment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Friends, Loved Ones and Colleagues Gather to Mourn the Loss of Epiphany

There is a connection between the audience, the actors, and the characters they play in the soap opera genre that is so unique, that no other form of entertainment has it.  What we have seen play out leading to the highly-anticipated tribute episode for the late Sonya Eddy (Epiphany, GH) is the perfect example.

Here on this site, when we posted items and previews on this upcoming episode, fans were ready to also mourn the loss of the character and the actress they loved. Many of the GH cast already shared that being on the set the day of the taping of this tribute to Sonya was cathartic, real and raw as they were also honoring and mourning their beloved co-star.

If you watched yesterday’s episode of GH, you could see the utmost care that was taken by the GH writing team, who wrote a beautiful script and send-off.  We are sure, many of you reached for the hankies throughout, and well you should, it was extraordinarily touching.

When we start, Port Charles residents are already dressed and heading to Epiphany’s memorial service, headed up by Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) at the GH chapel. Elizabeth is uptight, yet on the verge of breaking down over the loss of her dearest friend and champion. Liz tells Finn (Michael Easton) that she believes Epiphany was disappointed with her in the end for the whole Esme and Nikolas mess that she was a part of.  She so wishes she could have made it right with her before she died. It is Liz’s hope that this memorial is the perfect way to make it up to her mentor and friend.

One of the key questions that everyone wanted answers to was finding out just how did the writers decide to kill-off Epiphany. We learned much of the back-story from special guest, Yvette Nicole Brown, who was excellent as the woman Epiphany saved before her untimely death. Making this even more emotional was the fact that in real-life, Yvette was one of Sonya Eddy’s closest friends.

The woman reveals to Liz and Finn that her car crashed into an electrical pole. Epiphany happened to be driving by and ran out to save her life.  She did so successfully, but when the woman asked for an update on Epiphany, she learned that she collapsed at the scene from smoke inhalation, but as Elizabeth put together, Epiphany had a heart attack, because she had a pre-existing heart condition.

Elsewhere, Anna (Finola Hughes) is mourning Epiphany and cannot attend the memorial because she is currently tucked away at the safe house. However, she gets a surprise visitor! Emma Drake (Brooklyn Rae Silzer) has come back to Port Charles to attend the memorial and gives her grandmother the biggest of hugs.  Emma is attending in place of her parents, Patrick and Robin, who couldn’t get away from their doctor duties to fly back to town in time.

Next, we learn Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy) is the executor of Epiphany’s will.  She seeks out the former head nurse’s mortal enemy, Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati), with some written instructions to be handled following the memorial service.

Meanwhile, several returns helped round out Epiphany’s history including: Marc Anthony Samuel as Nurse Felix, and Drew Cheetwood as her ex-boyfriend, Milo. In fact, Drew was very heart-tugging in scenes with Maurice Benard (Sonny).

Marshall (Robert Gossett) is blaming himself for Epiphany’s death telling Portia (Brooke Kerr) and Curtis (Donnell Turner) that if he hadn’t pushed her to go after her dreams as a doctor, maybe her life would have been saved.  Portia tells him that’s nonsense, he actually helped Epiphany achieve her goal.

When it’s time for the memorial, it starts with Elizabeth, and one by one people get up and speak on Epiphany including: Deanna (Dionni Michelle Collins), Portia, Sonny, Carly (Laura Wright) and others. Throughout, we get flashbacks of how the she impacted their lives.  At the end of the service, Diane gets up and tells everyone Epiphany has asked that everyone go to the roof following the memorial.  Once on the GH rooftop, Diane reads a letter from Epiphany that she wants no more tears and to be celebrated.  Cue the fireworks, that were set off and lit by none other than Liesl! Epiphany’s voice is heard singing her signature Nurses Ball song, “You’re Not Alone” as everyone takes a moment to reflect and honor her, including Anna alone at the safe house watching the fireworks in the sky.

At the end of the episode, Elizabeth, who has returned to the GH chapel, receives a phone call from Monica (and we hear Leslie Charleson’s voice).  Monica tells her she received a glowing letter of recommendation from Epiphany a few days ago and reads it aloud to her. Liz learns that Pif has suggested to the GH hospital board that despite the mistakes she had made, that Liz become the head nurse at the hospital.  Monica tells her she plans on taking this to the board. Elizabeth is overcome in a beautifully-played moment by Becky Herbst.

The conclusion came too soon for us as we knew we had to say goodbye to our friend, Sonya, who was so memorable as the beloved Epiphany. A series of flashbacks, reminding us why we fell in love with the tough-as-nails GH nurse in the first place, began to play. Later, we see that Epiphany has joined the GH wall of remembrance for those revered doctors and nurses we have lost.

This was definitely a labor of love for the production, the writers, the crew, and the cast and it showed in the final product.  All we can say is … we have always loved Epiphany, and GH will never be the same without the presence of Sonya Eddy.
