General Hospital Spoilers: Are Fans Right To Worry About Steve Burton’s Health As His Hiatus From GH Looms?
General Hospital spoilers leak fans all over are concerned that Steve Burton’s (portrayer of Jason Morgan) announcement of his impending break from GH may signal real world, real life problems for the actor.
Burton’s wife, Michelle Lundstrom, shared a video dedicated to her hubby this week that highlighted her love and appreciation for him. Benign?
Or extra emotional because there is more going on behind the scenes than we know? Sorry, Steve, but you know this speculation comes with the industry territory by now.
Who Made the Call?
Just because Steve made the announcement that he’s going to be dipping out on the show for a while doesn’t mean it was his decision, or his alone.
This could just be part of the upcoming storyline, and him being kind enough to let his fan base know that he is going to be back.
For all we know, he and the writers agreed that the fans are not ready for another long leave of absence with Jason. Hello!? Do we remember the last time, and the time before that?
There Have Been a Number of Surprise Health Scares
We’re still mourning the sudden passing of Jaclyn Zeman (portrayer of Bobbie Spencer) in 2023; we lost Tyler Christopher (past portrayer of Nikolas Cassadine) that same year. In 2024, Johnny Wactor’s (portrayer of Brando Corbin) floored us.
Last year, Leslie Charleson’s (portrayer of Monica Quartermaine) years-long decline culminated in her heartbreaking passing.
We haven’t even said goodbye to Tristan Rogers (portrayer of Robert Scorpio) yet, and many are feeling like Anthony Geary’s (portrayer of Luke Spencer) story was left unfinished before his untimely passing just before Christmas 2025.
Goodness, some of us are still missing Epiphany Johnson (portrayer of Sonya Eddy). Kirsten Storms (portrayer of Maxie Jones) just came back this week but is continuing to navigate life with a brain aneurysm.
We can’t blame the GH fan base for wondering if a sudden departure in the thick of Jason’s new relationship with Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) might mean something is amiss.
Hope on the Horizon
With Steve’s wifey’s words of endearment, some fans are thinking there is more to the story than two lovebirds who just want to spend some time together.
While that might seem like an unusual reason to take time off work, these two might be feeling like they haven’t had the time needed to connect since they got hitched. That’s fair. It’s also possible that someone else in Steve’s life needs his support right now. Rest easy, fans.
Let’s not put the cart before the horse. Steve, we’re wishing you the best on your brief hiatus from work and hope you and yours are well. Keep checking back with us every day for more GH news and spoilers.
I feel this post is definitely putting the cart before the horse. It should have not been printed as all it will do is cause confusion and questions by fans. Leave well enough alone and feel what has been reported by SB himself is the reason for him being absent from canvas.
