General Hospital Spoilers: Viewers Want Jason Morgan Back – Will The Show’s Producers Respond?
General Hospital news says that the viewers have spoken, and they’ve made it pretty clear that they want to see Jason Morgan back in Port Charles, regardless if he’s dead or alive. This comes after reports that said the producers of the hit ABC daytime television show won’t recast the character now that Steve Burton is no longer with the soap. That’s because both he and his former co-star Ingo Rademacher (Jasper Jacks) refused to comply with the network’s vaccine mandate against COVID-19. Here’s what you need to know.
General Hospital Spoilers: Viewers Want Jason Morgan Back – Will The Show’s Producers Respond?
General Hospital viewers say they want to see Steve Burton back, and only Steve Burton. That, and they’ve also pointed out that Jason Morgan is tied to so many character storylines, that he needs to come back in some shape or form. Getting rid of the character completely, according to both fans and critics, simply doesn’t make sense.
Many of Steve Burton’s and General Hospital fans have taken to their social media accounts to express just how they feel about all of this. Some comments have so far included, “Steve Burton IS Jason Morgan. I have been a loyal follower of GH only since Steve Burton was brought back to reprise the role after the producers tried to replace him. I have no interest in continuing to watch now that Mr .Burton is gone,” along with, “I know Steve will be back in time! General Hospital will never be the same without him and the producers know it! There are so many actors on General Hospital that have been on for many years and they also make the show great! Don’t give up hope! We love Steve and Pray for his return soon!”
General Hospital Spoilers: Fans And Viewers Are Upset
Another fan put it this way, “Absolutely ridiculous…..too many story lines that Jason is involved with. I was devastated the last time he left. Alexis needs to be the one to go with her push for the firing of Jax and probably Jason too….this is America and no one should be forced to take a jab if they don’t want it…. he had Covid so he has the antibodies which are more effective than the vaccine. Poor choice GH!!!”
So far the producers of General Hospital have not made any comments about what they plan on doing with Jason Morgan’s future or all of the storylines that he is currently tied into.
In the meantime, let us know what you think by leaving us a line with your thoughts in our comments section below. General Hospital airs weekdays on the ABC network. Check your local listings for times.

Sorry GH loyal-time fan but until the ABC changes the covid-19 rule that we won’t see Steve Burton as Jason Morgan. I got a bad feeling that I must get used to the idea that there will be a new actor is Jason Morgan.
This is a bunch of crap!! Change the rule…
This is BS, even with replacing Jason Morgan now it would not be the same. He makes his role as no one else could! I will stop watching GH if Jason & Ajax are not brought back as originals (at least Jason). So disappointed in GH!!!
If all the fans stop watching GH the rating will go down. Remember the fans keeps the show on-air as well as the sponsors.
His body his choice! Bring him back. Bad move General Hospital ‼️
I’m really upset about Jason leaving the show. I know for a fact that the ratings will drop. You need to get him back on. If you get a replacement it still will not be Jason. Noone can play his character he is one of a kind. We all know that you can definitely do something about this.
I agree, Steve Burton IS Jason Morgan.
I have been watching gh for 60 years and this is a bad decision firing Steve. He is at least 85% of why people watch gh.
I want Steve back
I also agree Steve Burton IS Jason Morgan Bring him back.
I have watched since the show first aired and I will not watch anymore if Steve Burton doesn’t return. No one should lose their job because they don’t want the vaccine. Many others feel the same way, ratings will go down and the show will be cancelled. Then you all will be looking for new jobs.
I agree! If the vaccine is that great, he should not need to take it. You can’t mandate that someone put something in their body that they don’t want. Be thankful that you have the right to take it if you choose. Your rights shouldn’t infringe on someone else’s. Steve Burton did nothing wrong, and he will ALWAYS be the best version of Jason Morgan! Why should everyone else have rights and he and Ingo have none? A mandate is not a law. Show me the executive order!!
Would love Steve back! with that said But.only if Jason’s not with Britt,yes I’m a diehard JaSam fan and it’s not even about him getting back with Sam,just not Britt or that nurse his character would never ever ever be with Faison’s Daughter and everyone who watches GH knows this.it has nothing to do with its a soap opera every1 change’s not Jason character..and if he did it wouldn’t be his captors daughter out of 20 plus years we’re supposed to believe Jason Morgan changes and pick the woman who’s father held him captive for fives years stole an embryo from lulu and passing it off as Patrick.and telling his kid she didn’t like her.Britt should’ve been fighting with Ava for nikolas .not pinning after Jason.and just like Jason character doesn’t change the Britch doesn’t either and being with Jason one night sure didn’t change her.this is the same woman came to town told Julian life’s to short and slept with him.. and the exact same woman that supposedly fell in love with Jason after a two weeks on the run and a hop in the sack but when her feelings got hurt hop in the bed with Jax 🤷🏻♀️get outta here with that his soulmate she’s good for him he never smiled with any1 else mess ..
You’re being invasive & ridiculous!
Get the vaccine! Lets move on as a country! Quit listening to Newsmax!
Steve Burton is the only Jason Morgan and General Hospital needs him back if they want to continue to be on the air. BRING
STEVE BACK NOW
You’ve said it all Steve is Jason ..I’ve watched GH 47years now and am losing interest fast.this character of Jason Morgan..cannot be replaced.. please bring Steve Burton back…
I want Steve Back!! As boring as the show has been he makes a difference. It was just starting to get good them they fire him!! Bad news
Plz bring jason back.there r so many people that love him n want him back.plz make it a Xmas miracle n make is fans happy
I too have watched since day one and am a loyal fan, not of just one actor but of the show. Steve Burton is a great actor and loved as Jason, BUT he’s not the entire show. So I don’t see how you can say you won’t watch anymore if he’s not brought back. I too think they should bring him back but if everyone else has complied with the rules, he shouldn’t be an exception for the protection of everyone. Just saying. We’ve put up with a lot worse (bad storylines and the like) and have lived thorough it. Don’t get me wrong, I like him but won’t stop watching if he’s not brought back
I agree Steve Burton needs to come back!! Many viewers have watched the show for years including myself and Iwill,not watch after taking him off the show …..it’s his body his choice that’s AMERICA….. I think🤣
Ludicrous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Stupidity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jason is tied up in so many storylines and his brother is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ll take a recast until when or if he comes back, it better than nothing.
I am not watching GH any more if Steve (AKA Jason ) not on the show. Anyway I haven’t watched it since you took him off.
Steve Burton is no better than any other actor on GH. If the vaccine is a requirement he should have to follow the rules. Why should 2 people out of a cast of 50 be considered special? One person does NOT make a show. He should be shamed, not ABC. Too many people in this country are allowing this pandemic to continue because they think they are special.
I have watched for decades, but this may be the last straw!
Steve is at the core of the show, we all waited and supported the last train wreck of a storyline when Steve left! Not this time! This is the USA, we all have the freedom to choose! He also has natural immunity. Get rid of that raging liberal Nancy who’s characters no one cares about!
Not everyone believes in the vaccine. Some people are allergic to the ingredients and others can’t vaccinate for health reasons. Also there are others who don’t vaccinate for religious reasons. Freedom of religion is right there in our Constitution. I am NOT an antivaxer but I don’t believe in a vaccine thet was developed in such a short time. I had Covid last Spring so I don’t think I need this vaccine. It is puely political.
Bring back Jason Morgan he is tied to so many life’s in Port Charles Bring back Steve Burton no one else can play Jason Morgan like Steve can
I hope the mandate lifts soon and Steve does come back. For many fans, he is the only reason we watch.
Please bring Jason back. He is part of GH We all loved Steve as Jason.
I hope the mandate lifts soon and Steve does come back. For many fans, he is one of the reasons we watch.
I want Steve Burton back as Jason Morgan he the best
If was Steve’s choice to leave. Everyone else got the vaccine! If he doesn’t care about endangering his castmates he should not be there.
I go back to the Luke and Laura days (they were married on my 17th birthday)…. Haven’t watched for a couple weeks now. I’m afraid that if they don’t Bring Burton and Rademacher back (or at least apologize to both of them and offer to take them back) soon, I may be done for good. I suppose outside of the key demo anyway so I’m sure they won’t miss me.
Bye Port Charles!! I’ve been a fan since 1978 but I’m not supporting a show that treats their people like this. Shame on you!! Should be renamed Communist Hospital.
I love Steve Burton as Jason. I always have. I use to watch ALL the soaps with my Grandmother growing up but only GH stuck with me. I understand Steve and respect his decision but please please please don’t write out Jason. He means so much to so many storylines and to fans like myself. Even though it’s a soap my heart still breaks for Carly and Britt. Hasn’t Carly been through enough loss? And Britt going from Villan to someone who has a heart and finally opened it again and was starting to be a better person and she looses the 1st man that softened her heart. I’ve cried and just wanted to hug both of them every scene they were in. Come on guys let Jason come home to people who love him so much. When the mandate is lifted then have Steve come back to us. Don’t disappoint your Jason fans no longer.
I won’t Watch anymore and if you guys were truly fans you guys would stand by him and not Watch until they agree bring him back !!!!
Please bring Steve Burton back. I’ve been watching since the cave collapse and gh is just missing something. It’s lost it’s luster. He was a main character and I was watching because of him. I didn’t like it when he was gone and replaced the last time. Please listen to the fans. They have just lifted the vaccine mandate for hospital workers so why can’t gh lift the mandate. Health care workers are exposed more than the actors to covid. Doesn’t make any sense especially since he had covid and gas antibodies.
Steve IS Jason, bottom line.
We don’t have any other ABC shows left, are we trying to lose GH too?
Steve Burton had Covid-19.
So his immunity exceeds the vaccine.
It makes zero sense to say he also has to get a shot.
A lot of stories & characters revolve around his character.
To write him off is the worst idea ever.
The only positive is clingy controlling screeching Carly will hopefully have less air time.
Steve is protected against the virus. Bring him back immediately! He wants back. His is fans want him back.
Just do it!!
I have been watching GH FROM THE BEGGINING BUT I AM SERIOUSLY THINKING OF SWITCHING TO ANOTHER SOAP WE ALL WANT JASON BACK COULD HE HAVE SURVIVED IN AN AIR POCKET LIKE TRAPPED MINERS I KNOW AT LEAST 40 PEOPLE WHO AGREE
I have been watching GH since 1968 and it will, not be the same without Jason Morgan!! GH you need to fire Alexis. Jason is one of the main characters with Sonny and Carly. I am a loyal fan but if they don’t bring back Jason I will be a past fan!! Open your eyes producers!!!
I will be stopping on watching General Hospital. Being watching ever since it aired and I am 68 If Steve Burton does not get to come back because of your Ridiculous rules. Will stop watching it as well as all of my friends and family period
Someone needs to make an executive decision to bring him back. I’ve stopped watching and not DVR it.
Please reconsider Steve Burton as he has the antibodies from Covid. He doesn’t deserve being treated this way. I want the ONE AND ONLY STONE COLD JASON MORGAN back which is Steve Burton. Please bring him back.
Thank you
Ive been watching General Hospital for over 40 years. Jason is my favorite actor. He brings mystery action drama love to each and every storyline. I am no longer interested in watching GH anymore. Im a very sad viewer
No one should be forced into what is to be put in their body. It’s their body and their choice. Just like certain people it goes against their religious beliefs to not get the vaccine just like all the illegals that they are allowing into the country and it goes against their beliefs. So that being said if he gets fired for his beliefs then the same goes for the illegals if they don’t get it for their beliefs reasons then stay out of the USA
2 great actors have been fired because of the jab. Why should any workplace be able to take away their rights in America? GH you need to step up and back your employees rights. If the jab works then no one should be at risk when working around the ones that didn’t. If they are still at risk then what good is the jab?
I have watched GH for as long as i can remember. Sense this went down with the mandate and Steve Burton and a few others had to leave the show because they were standing up for what was right for them! Steve even went the extra distance and got forms for exemptions but was turned down! For the ones that had covid they should have not lost their job on the show for the have heard immunity and dont need the fake stuff that has not past trials they jumped the gun! i pray every night for those that went and got the shot that they dont have any harm from it! But i for one wont be watching GH until the covid 19 vaccine manadate is lifted and Steven Burton and the others that were let go come back to the show!
I always loved the character of Alexis but seriously she needs to go. Nancy Grahn talks about Ingo being insulting but I have seen her post really nasty comments about anyone who voted for Trump. I am all about freedom of speech but that goes for everyone, not just the ones she deems worthy. It’s great to have an opinion and beliefs but they don’t need to be shoved down everyone else’s throats. People deserve to make an informed decision on this vaccine. Nobody should ever lose their job for refusing to take it.
Oh please.. recast. Fed up having to deal with people who think they don’t have to do the right thing for others, I’m sure there are soooo many good actors out there who can fill this role magnificently.
I stopped watching the day I knew Steve Burton was let go. I was a loyal fan for 10+ years but it’s vaccine mandate is ridiculous. Many fans feel the same and are dumping GH.
Unfortunately Companies feel the need to stricken the mandates to help fight this Pandemic. Everyone has a choice and Steve opt not to get the shot. Steve has always been my favorite actor and he will be the one and only Jason.
`I have been a viewer of this show from almost the beginning, I love Steve Burton as Jason. Billy Miller tried and he was good, but no Steve Burton. Look I watched and I guess sucked it up. I don’t want to anymore. I feel like I was reading a really good book and someone just tore out the last chapter, I am sad and I guess it is what it is. I am done.
I love Steve burton and i want him to come back but if he is out, then I would prefer for the Jason Morgan character to be recasted!!!!
Big mistake for GH.
Without Steve Burton, GH will lose a vast majority of fans. I have watched GH for forty plus tears, without missing not one single episode. Even I do not if I will continue to watch GH. Without fans, what will GH amount to, Nothing …..Absolutely a non-watched show.
Steve Burton is Jason Morgan, no other actor would play Jason Morgan as well. Bring him back even if you make him be the way he was before the mob entered into his life.
I am absolutely devastated and currently in mourning for Jason. I have cried every day that I have watched the show since he died. I understand that there are rules with the network surrounding getting the COVID vaccine however, firing someone for their own personal choice is going too far. I wish that he would just get the shot and be done with it. He already has the antibodies since he had COVID. Why not just make it official with the vaccine. We want you back, Steve Burton.
I stopped watching GH the last time Steve Burton was not Jason and I will stop again. He should not be let go for his right not to be vaccinated. I think it was in poor taste to do what they did.
I think it’s ridiculous to fire anyone from their job for not wanting to put a drug in their own body! This is America. If someone who chooses to be vaccinated with the vaccine feels so threatened by someone who chooses not to do so they must not have to much faith in the shot !
Otherwise they should feel safe in knowing that they have taken the vaccine and leave others alone.
Steve Burton has made the character that he portrays, Jason Morgan, a force to be reckoned with. He is the perfect person for the role and I don not believe that anyone can play him better.
I am not watching any more, Jason was a great character. His role had purpose and he was a great actor and General Hospital rating will go diwn
I’ve been watching since the beginning. I’m 62 now the show isn’t the same without him. We learned this the last time he left. He is the only one to play Jason Morgan. Bringing him back as Jadon Q is a good idea and after the collapse it would be believable that he remember who he was. They need to let his character and Drew have time to get to know each other as twins.. I think ratings will drop significantly if they don’t bring him back. Everyone loves him. So please reconsider your decision. We could really do without Alexis. She has no real storyline that would be missed. But Jadon has several great ones going and need to be continued. Plus there’s been to many deaths. And Donny gone for 9 months drive everyone crazy. As soon as he gets back you get rid of Jadon that just doesn’t fit right with me and many other viewers. He’s one of the best actors on the show. He’s why you have so many viewers. And why you win so many awards. Please bring him back. Even if he has to be tested on a regular basis. Don’t punish him and his fans for a virus that is not our fault. He respects his body and what he puts in it. He’s a role model for many on and off the show.
Jason is too important of a character to lose, we love Steve Burton, but if he can’t return replace him!
I think it’s ridiculous that SB won’t get vaccine and willing to let the fans down.
He can be recast!!!!!!! But personally I prefer NOT.
He knows now that he as a person is not so special.
Right, but if Steve Burton had COVID, he has antibodies. I personally want Steve Burton to reprise his role. Hospitals are letting employees work that are unvaccinated.
Steve Burton as Jason Morgan is a must!!!! He has antibodies from having COVID and GH fans need him, so get him back on screen. If you can’t bring him back full time, show him being found by strangers and being nursed back by them until he can come back full time and return to Port Charles.
Pls bring back Steve Morgan. He is Jason. Will always be Jason. He is the one. Been watching GH since day one. Would have to stop, but, will if I don’t see Steve as Jason.
There is no replacing Steve Burton as Jason Morgan. GH tried that once and it was a disaster. Maurice Bernard said there is only one Jason Morgan and that is Steve Burton. I was looking forward to seeing the relationship between Drew and Jason. Camron and Steve have a personal friendship and you can see it in their characters. Steve and Kelly ( Jason and Britt) also are well matched. I have watched GH for 50 years and looked forward to seeing what Jason was up to each day. ABC knows that Steve Burton is very important to GH. They will figure out some way to bring Steve Burton back.
I’ve been a GH fan since childhood. I even started watching Young & The Restless because of Steve Burton. I’m perfectly willing to stop watching GH if Steve doesn’t return.
We want him to return .
I want him back and with Britt, that storyline was just starting to get good.They both deserve to be happy for once
Jason Morgan is the heart of General Hospital and Steve Burton is the only Jason Morgan. I can do very nicely without Alexis. She’s a secondary character at best, and no cast needs a backstabber activist like her portrayer. I’m a GH viewer since 1963! Bring Jason back!
Getting rid of Steve Burton is a big mistake..none can replace him playing Jason Morgan the way he does, please bring him back.
My views are very simple – no Steve Burton, no Jason Morgan. Period. (And I am a GH viewer of 43 years!) From what I have seen and read on/at other GH sites, if a recast is attempted there is going to be a MASS exit of fans and it WILL show up in the overall ratings. Steve Burton has had and recovered from Covid which reportedly gives him natural ammunities. There is NO reason that he can’t continue playing Jason should he agree to either have weekly testing (keeping in mind that many of the PRC tests give false results) and/or wear a mask until actual taping is being done.
Either Jason comes back to GH, or we refuse to watch our favorite soap, we have watched since the 60’s and are pretty irate that you pushed him out like he didn’t exist all these years, which is the worst thing you could have done to this number one soap. Jason is the biggest part of GH and we want him back. !!!!!
PLEASE BRING STEVE BURTON BACK AS JASON MORGAN!! I am a loyal GH fan for more than 30 years and if the producers don’t bring him back I will have very little interest in watching. That is in no way to disparage any of the other awesome actors and actresses on GH BUT, I totally agree with so many of your viewers that Jason is tied to so many storylines and GH will never be the same without Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). Do the producers watch the news?? What about all the people who DID get the vaccine and they are still getting these variants?? I got the vaccine and the booster but I am not convinced that I am anymore protected than someone who did not get vaccinated. I also know and respect t the fact that policies are policies and people should comply but there will always be exceptions (and changes) in policy. Please reconsider and bring Jason back before your ratings fall and you lose viewers of this soap loved by so many for so long 😭💕
i dont know why you let steve go as he had covid and has the antibodies so he should not be let go.i have been watching since the 60s and think if you keep this kind of stuff up i will quit watching.you need jason as he is involved with alot of stories and needs to be there.
The only way Steve Burton will return if the mandate has changed. Let’s say he goes back to the Young & the Restless and sometime the mandate will change. Do you think Steve Burton is just going to walk out of the job he has to go back to General Hospital? I think we saw the last of Steve Burton for a while. Nancy should have been muzzled along time ago. Administration should have called her in and told her to keep her mouth shut when it comes to General Hospital. They allowed her to go on and on even mentioning names before it became official. I am disgusted with her behavior.
I agree with multiple people about Steve Burton. He is in many story lines. But it wouldn’t be the same without having Steve play Jason. Steve IS Jason totally!!! I haven’t watched really since Steve has been gone. And I won’t. I agree with Steve on his beliefs, it’s his body he shouldn’t have lose his job because of his beliefs. I don’t think the medical staffshould be losing their jobs either. I am vaccinated, but I chose to do so. Nobody told me I had to in order to keep a job or see someone or be able to get in some place or to fly. It’s just WRONG!!!!
Jason Morgan is such an important character in the show. Bring him back!!!!!
I can’t see going on with GH without Jason on. It’s just awful all this misery now that the world needs hope.
Come on ! If he doesn’t have Covid and gets tested why can’t he act on GH ? It’s not right that he is punished for a belief. People have beliefs and need to be respected for them.
I use to watch 5 soaps a day. For the past several years I cut it down to GH. I have been looking for a reason to stop watching GH too (I have watched it since way before Luke and Laura were wed) I kept watching because Steve Burton is my favorite actor from all the shows. If he is gone there is my excuse to finally be free of all the soaps.
That as long as these mandates are in effect he will be off GH.i resoect his beliefs as long as he respects others.He has rights and so the rest of America.that being said Steve Burton is Jason i was sorry to see Billy Miller leave but he wasn’t Jason.i just wish there were a way to have kept him.hope to see Burton back sooner rather then later.
We want Jason back he makes the show
No one has a right to tell you whether you must be vaccinated or not! This is the land of the free!!!! He has had Covid and has chosen to take his chances. That has nothing do to with how well he does his job! I have been a loyal watcher since age 4, I am tired of the government and celebrities dictating what is right or wrong in a country that was built on freedoms. Bring Steve Burton back before you become just another soap that people used to watch.
