The Young and the Restless star Jordi Vilasuso has been on so many daytime television shows throughout the course of his career that a lot of fans can’t help but wonder if he should add General Hospital to his long line of acting credits, too. In fact, some fans and critics alike have been saying that Jordi should consider playing Jason Morgan in Port Charles. While this would certainly be a controversial move, the role has been vacant for way too long, too. Here’s what you need to know.
The last time Jason Morgan was on the canvas was when Steve Burton played the role late last year. But as many fans know by now, both Steve Burton and his General Hospital co-star Ingo Rademacher were let go from the show for refusing to comply with ABC’s vaccine mandate. Since then, it’s been presumed that Jason had died, although his body hasn’t been found yet.
While there’s no doubt that Jason Morgan could be alive and well somewhere out there, no one knows for sure. But of course, fans would love to see him again. Seeing how it doesn’t look like Steve Burton will be returning to Port Charles any time soon, many viewers have been asking the same question: should Jordi Vilasuso step in the role now that he’s got some time on his hands?
Jordi not only played Rey Rosales on The Young and the Restless, but he was also Dario Hernandez on Days of Our Lives. Now, as far as what happened to his character Rey, even Jordi’s not so sure.
“I had re-signed [with Young & Restless] back in October for another three years,” explained the actor, “but in these contracts, there are six-month intervals where the show can decide not to re-sign you for the next six months. So that’s what happened.”
He adds, “Maybe I should have seen the writing on the walls. The scripts that I was given were very minimal.”

Jordi Vilasuso? Absolutely not. Only Steve Burton should play Jason Morgan.
We both know that the loyal GH fan wants Steve Burton back in the role of Jason Morgan. I know that Jordi Vilasuso is a great actor but he will have a hard time getting the fan to love him as Jason Morgan. Good luck with GH hiring him as Jason Morgan.
NO, NO AND NO! I WANT STEVE BURTON BACK IN THE PART OF JASON AND NO FAKE JASON!!!
The only person to play Jason is Steve Burton. Hire him back for a successful show.
NO! There is only ONE Jason Morgan and that's Steve Burton! I'm patiently waiting for Steve Burton to return as Jason Morgan. I will not accept anyone else. After watching GH all these years I will be done watching GH. You need to do whatever possible to bring our beloved Steve Burton back before you lose millions of fans.
He can not play Jason because he has a accent that won't work
It’s a hard fit ,,, Jason is also known for his blue eyes ,,,, Steven Burton is & always will be Stone Cold ,,, ,,, but in the meantime somebody needs to fill Jason’s spot, if it’s a definite Steve Burton isn’t returning , there are so many storylines still open re: Jason , the triangle between Britt / Carly & Jason , Sonny’s not going to return to himself w/o Jason ,,, Carly needs her Best Friend @ the moment they have Drew trying to replace her Bestie,,, Michael also needs him & so doesn’t Jossylyn , Also maybe they should try getting Alcazar to return for Carly ,, theirs a love triangle Sonny couldn’t handle ,,,, he would drop Bingo Nina in a heartbeat ,,,, We need Jason to return ,, ifs it a recast or temp ,,, I usually would say absolutely not ,,, But GH is hitting rock bottom w/o the enforcer ,,, his children, his family ,,, & the cassadines & Selina wu are going to try & step on Sonny’s territory seeing his only concern is bingo Nina ,,, Victor needs to be stopped
If you can’t get Steve Burton back then leave Jason Morgan dead
I'd rather have a fake Jason than no Jason. And Steve Burton is not coming back. Jordi us handsome and looks the part of a hitman/ good guy, so yea, bring him on. His son Jake needs him. His mother Monica nerd him. Britt and Drew both need him. A lot of people needs Jason and they need him now.
Only Steve Burton is Jason! Nobody can replace him. If he can't come back on GH then leave him dead. The fans will not accept anyone else being Jason. I hate the story of Sonny and Nina together. Sonny needs to be himself and not the softy he is playing. He and Carly need to be together with their family.
No The fans want Steve Burton BACK with an unbreakable contract til his retiremen!!!!!
YES Bring STEVE BURTON back the one and ONLY JASON MORGAN!
There is only one Jason Morgan and Steve Burton plays him. Get Steve back.
