Steve Burton’s return has been nothing short of incredible for the majority of General Hospital fans. Based on GH fan reactions across social media, Steve Burton’s return debut continues to receive raving reviews.

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.

Steve Burton Reveals How Jason Morgan’s Storyline Changed Course

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: Jason’s Hands Are Tied! Things Aren’t Exactly As They Seem- Is Jason Protecting Sonny?!

GH Spoilers: Jason’s Protecting Sonny

Finally! Monday morning never felt so good! Thanks to General Hospital, Steve Burton, and Jason Morgan, this is one Monday that we didn’t have to hit snooze 7 times for more sleep. I don’t know about you, but I’m bright eyed and bushy tailed this fine Monday morning.

Of course, today is going to be great! General Hospital news and spoilers confirm that Steve Burton airs as Jason Morgan today at 2pm Eastern. General Hospital fans are hype for the big reveal and we aren’t going to miss a moment of the fun!

According to the latest General Hospital spoilers, Jason Morgan is caught! Sonny, Dante, Ava, and Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) can’t believe their eyes! “It’s him, isn’t it?” Anna declares in the March 4th General Hospital promo. It makes sense. Selina’s Guy Lee told her and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) that the boss goes by the name of Stone. Immediately, Stone Cold came to mind. As it turns out, my predicted GH rumors come true. “Stone” is indeed Stone Cold, aka Jason Morgan. But are things exactly as they seem?

What if Jason’s protecting Sonny from a bigger threat? Maybe he knows what’s in store for his best friend and decides to play decoy. After all, Jason doesn’t miss a shot. So why else would he fumble so hard when aiming at Sonny and Ava?

General Hospital Spoilers: Clues Lead Spinelli To Jason- Sonny and Spinelli Find Their Best Friend

GH Spoilers: Sonny and Spinelli find Jason

To this day Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) still trusts his life long bestie. Just because Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is gone doesn’t mean that he’s been forgotten. In fact, Sonny and the rest of Jason’s loved ones continue to hold him near and dear to their hearts. They’ve taken with them the things Jason has taught them.

Moreover, Sonny Corinthos trusts Jason plain and simple. In trusting Jason and his instincts, Sonny knows that he can also trust Spinelli. He and Jason were the best of friends and Jason always spoke highly of Spinelli’s loyalty and skills. That’s why Sonny reached out to Jason’s old pal for help. Can Sonny and Spinelli find Jason together??

According to recent General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Spinelli finds clues that lead straight to Jason! Since Sonny has Spinelli looking into things, he’s curious to hear (and see) what he finds. Previously, GH news and spoilers confirmed that Jason has blood on his hands. That lead many GH fans to believe that Jason isn’t acting like himself this time around. As GH rumors continue to spread, all that’s left to do is wait.

There’s about six and a half hours left before today’s General Hospital episode. Are you ready to welcome Steve Burton and Jason Morgan back to Port Charles?

General Hospital Spoilers: Jason Morgan’s Partner- Who Is Behind Jason’s Mission To End Organized Crime?

GH Spoilers: Who is Jason Morgan’s partner?

Judging by the blood on Jason’s hands, alongside the victims and intended victims, odds are that Jason Morgan is out to abolish organized crime. Ok, I guess. But since when? Since when did Jason Morgan, Sonny Corinthos’s enforcer decide to jump ship and play for the other team?

General Hospital news reports confirm that Steve Burton’s GH air date is set for tomorrow, March 4th, 2024. That’s when the highly anticipated Jason Morgan reveal airs at 2pm Eastern on ABC. Jason’s General Hospital return was the Soap Opera’s best kept secret before the reveal on January 4th. Reportedly, ABC surprised General Hospital fans during the 60th Anniversary Prime Time special.

Ever since word got out that Steve Burton was headed back as Jason, GH fans can’t put it down. Over the last two months social media outlets have covered just about every storyline angle in theory. According to General Hospital spoilers and rumors, it’s believe that Jason Morgan has turned in Sonny and is out to abolish organized crime. However, it’s hard to wrap our thoughts around that fact that Jason would ever willingly go against Sonny, let alone try to kill him. Of course, multiple scenarios began to circulate, creating GH rumors that could turn into GH spoilers.

Who Is Jason Morgan’s Partner?

According to some of the latest GH rumors and spoilers, some believe that Jason is the shooter but not by choice. If that’s the case then the motive is seemingly clear. Organized crime has run rampant through Port Charles since the early 90s. Therefore, it makes sense that someone wants to put an end to the mob violence. Reportedly, victims and intended victims are all members of organized crime.

General Hospital Spoilers: Jason and Jagger Work Together To Take Down Organized Crime

Does Jason Morgan want to take down the organization when he was a huge part of it for so long? Maybe. It’s still very hard to believe. Is Jason really calling the shots or is the done by force and manipulation? I know that most of us can’t fathom Jason going against Sonny. Unfortunately, only time will tell, but it’s worth the wait.

General Hospital Spoilers: Maxie Fears For Spinelli’s Life When He’s Caught In A Mob War

GH Spoilers: Spinelli’s caught in a mob war

Just as it seemed that Felicia (Kristina Wagner) got through to her daughter, Maxie’s (Kirsten Storms) fears became validated again. She admitted to her mother that her fear of losing Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) is what holds her back from a relationship with him.

According to General Hospital recaps, it took some time but Felicia and Maxie’s heart-to-heart resonated with Maxie. Maxie’s anger covered up her true fear of facing her feelings for Spinelli. Then, Felicia calmly explained other points of view, and that’s when Maxie began to go soft.

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that a strong moment came over her and she acquired the courage to call Spinelli. She’s so afraid of losing him in any way. Whether it’s a catastrophic fallout or fate stepping in to tear them apart by tragedy, Maxi doesn’t want to lose.

Spinelli’s Caught In A Mob War

General Hospital Spoilers tease that Maxie lets her guard down just as Spinelli takes a risk for organized crime. In the past, Spinelli helped Sonny Corinthos out of respect for his best friend Jason Morgan . But since Jason‘s been gone, Spinelli never had a reason to work with Sonny. Recently, all that changed when Sonny asked Spinelli for his services.

Unfortunately, GH rumors claim that letting her guard down leads Maxie to a let down. Maxie fears for Spinelli’s life when she almost loses him to mob violence. Ironically his best friend and the man who always had his back could be the man to threaten his life.

Is Spinelli caught in a mob war between Jason aka STONE Cold and Sonny?

General Hospital Spoilers: Nina Swoops In For Carly’s Man Yet Again- Nina and Drew Shock Port Charles

GH Spoilers: Nina and Drew Shock Port Charles

Two Port Charles couples have just met the end of their road. Coincidentally, Carly broke up with Drew at the exact same time that Sonny officially ended things with Nina. But how coincidental was it, if at all?

Surely it was no coincidence that Sonny and Carly became free from their own, separate romantic entanglements practically simultaneously. Alternatively, the two breakups scream symbolism. General Hospital recaps highlight Sonny’s tragic fall of the bridge. That’s when everything changed. After 3 years of loss, grief, and even compromise, Sonny and Carly are free to love each other again.

According to the latest General Hospital recaps, Carly and Drew’s breakup came at the same time as Nina’s relationship with Sonny ended. Carly seems to light the path for Nina when it comes to which man she sets her sights on. After all, Nina went right for Sonny when Carly believed he was gone. So what’s to stop her from grabbing Carly’s sloppy seconds again? Well, the simple fact that Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) absolutely despises Nina Reeves (soon to be ex-Corinthos).

GH rumors hint that Nina finds another way to stick it to Carly. Carly and Drew’s breakup sparks an idea for Nina, and she does 180° when it comes to Drew. Furthermore, wild GH rumors suggest that Drew 2.0 is vulnerable, making him easily manipulated. He might seem like a tougher version of himself, but the trauma from Pentonville clouds his character. Maybe he joins forces with Nina, instead of being her enemy.
