General Hospital teaser confirms Steve Burton’s return as Jason.
The show’s fan page took to Instagram to share a video of the cast celebrating the 16000-episode milestone. They wrote in the caption, “There’s nothing like celebrating a milestone with friends, family, and cake to cure a case of the Mondays. 63 years and 16,000 episodes later, we’re still going strong thanks to all of you! Thank you so much for watching.”
Besides the celebration, the video suggested the comeback of several characters. This included Jason Morgan, played by Steve Burton. Jason was last seen in March of this year when he was arrested and sent to Steinmauer. On his podcast, That’s Awesome, the actor shared he is taking a brief break from the show to focus on his personal life. “Everybody knows we’re grateful. The opportunity’s amazing. But in life … life is more important than anything else,” Burton stated.
He also shared that James Van Der Beek’s passing made him reflect on the importance of life. “I had a couple executive producers who said once, ‘Hey, family and life is way more important than any show that you’re ever gonna do,’ right? And that really hits home after the passing of James Van Der Beek,” he said.
The 55-year-old continued, “I always say — and I always try to teach my son [Jack] this and any time I’m on coaching calls [I share that] everything is perspective in life … You just don’t know when the [last] day is.” Burton expressed, ” I’m newly married. I want to take a break, I want to live life a little bit and go enjoy.” Moreover, he confirmed his comeback in the summer. “I know I’ll be back in the summer,” he said.
Besides Steve Burton, Finola Hughes’s Anna Devane is expected to return to the show. Moreover, GH has a new cast addition in the form of Dean Geyer playing Tristan Roberts.
