Huge Sad News! General Hospital Steve Burton Drops !! Very Heartbreaking News | It Will Shock You

General Hospital (GH) spoilers teased that time flies when we’re having fun. The last six months have rushed by since Steve Burton returned to the screen as Jason Morgan. This fan-favorite made his comeback to the Port Charles, New York-based show in March. Here’s what Burton had to say about his second triumphant return to the ABC soap.

Burton co-hosts the Daily Drama podcast with his GH co-star, Bradford Anderson, who plays Damian Spinelli. During a recent episode, Anderson asked Burton if his 2024 return feels different from his 2018 return. In case you missed it, Burton’s first return occurred in September 2017 after leaving GH in 2012, where he portrayed Dylan McAvoy on CBS’s The Young and the Restless. He left the show again in 2021 after declining the network’s mandated COVID-19 vaccination.

During his break, Burton returned to acting in Days of Our Lives as Harris Michaels. Many daytime fans thought it would only be a matter of time before he came back to play the iconic role of Stone Cold—and they were right.

According to Burton, this return feels different because so much has happened in his life. He reflected on how we all went through COVID-19 and other significant life changes. Burton also mentioned that he divorced his longtime wife, Sheri, in 2023, after she announced on social media that she was pregnant with another man’s child. Despite these challenges, he expressed gratitude, stating, “I’m grateful to be back and that you guys watch the show.”

Things were dicey when Stone Cold first showed his face in Port Charles this year. He allowed his loved ones to believe he was dead, and seeing him alive brought about both love and anger. Most notably, he was estranged from his bromance with Sonny Corinthos, played by Maurice Benard, but they have only recently made amends. Many fans would have liked to see a more dramatic reunion, especially considering that Sonny nearly killed Jason. However, it seems bygones were bygones with just a few words, and now Sonny has his enforcer back.

What does this mean for Brick? Brick, played by Stephen A. Smith, came along to help Sonny after Jason’s death. Tell us, GH fans: do you want to see more or less of Brick now that Jason is back?
