GeneralHospitalBlog.com was created and launched in 2011. Our Facebook page kicked off in the same year, and Instagram came alone a couple years later. Today, GH Blog also has growing TikTok, Pinterest, and YouTube profiles. Thanks to the dedicated General Hospital fans and GH Blog supporters, we’ve gratefully been sharing our GH content for 13 years.

Over the past 13 years we’ve had the pleasure of engaging with fellow General Hospital fans on a daily basis. That said, GH fans express their ideas, thoughts, and options on all things GH. Yesterday, Steve Burton received the warmest of welcomes when he debuted as Jason Morgan. According to GH news, Burton was hired to play Jason Quartermaine in 1991. Fans were drawn to his portrayal of the preppy- rich-kid-turned mob enforcer. Unfortunately, Burton left GH in 2012, but returned in 2017. Then, he was let go from the soap opera in 2021 due to a covid vaccine mandate. Needless to say its been one big roller coaster for GH fans.

Thankfully, prayers were answered when his surprise return was announced. Fans immediately began to speculate about how Jason would be reintroduced to the canvas. According to the latest GH news and spoilers, Burton revealed the decision for Steve to return came before the recent writer switch. As a result, Jason’s storyline took a different direction.

GH spoilers reveal that Burton opened up to Soap Opera Digest about his storyline. “So apparently there was a whole different story planned and then the head writer switch happened and then they kind of rebooted (the story arc). I know Patrick (Mulcahey, one of the new head writers) a little bit, but I really know Elizabeth Korte (who was promoted to co-head writer).” Burton disclosed to the news outlet.

“There’s no one in the building that loves that show, knows the history of the character, and is invested in it 100 percent than Elizabeth. There has never been a more deserved promotion, ever. Once I know that she was (one of the head writers), I was like, ‘Oh, this is gonna be good! I cannot wait.’ And it has been exactly that. Everything has been amazing.”

It sounds like Steve is just as excited about his comeback as the rest of us! His faith in the new writing team gives hope for an exciting future at General Hospital.

General Hospital Spoilers: Sonny’s Flustered When He Notices Similarities Between Dex And A Certain Someone

It starts. The bond between Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) starts now. For Dex, that bond likely already started the night Sonny invited him to sit down for some pasta. That’s when Dex really saw another side of Sonny. Suddenly, things looked differently to Dex ever since he realized that Sonny has a genuine heart.

According to GH recaps, Sonny made a comment to Dex. It was in the heat of their Pikeman conversation when Sonny verbally expressed that he was impressed by Dex. First, he asked for Dex’s input on the Pikeman situation which lead to his impeccable attention to detail. Then, Sonny was pleased at how through Dex’s thought process was. He said, “Damn. Turned you on and you just go.”

It seems to me that Sonny is starting to notice little things about Dex. And sooner than later he begins to realize something. According to GH spoilers, Dex reminds Sonny of Jason. He begins to notice similarities between his new enforcer and his life-long friend.

Previously, General Hospital rumors made claims that Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is Dex’s father. However, the rumor began gaining more credibility once GH casting rumors claim that Steve could be headed back to General Hospital. How long before Sonny puts the pieces together and figures out that Dex is Jason’s son?
