General Hospital Spoilers: Is This Steve Burton’s New Replacement?

Well, hello there zaddy. General Hospital spoilers say that there’s a new face in town and this is one that you are going to want to pay particular attention to. There are new reports that say actor Evan Hofer has landed a new role in Port Charles and of course, everyone wants to know all of the exciting deets! In fact, there are some people who already think that he might be Steve Burton’s (e-Jason Morgan) replacement. Oh boy. Here’s what you need to know!

General Hospital Spoilers: Is This Steve Burton’s New Replacement?

According to the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest, it looks like Evan’s character Dex may be someone with or without a past. While he’s going to approach Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) with the hopes of landing a job, there’s some speculation already that he might have arrived in Port Charles with an agenda. That, or he could be working for one of the rival crime families and is trying to infiltrate from within. 

That said, Maurice Benard already has great things to say about Evan! “This guy is on the money,” the Emmy winner tweeted about his new co-star. Evan replied with, “Thank you for your guidance! I couldn’t ask for a better mentor (and boss).”

Of course, it didn’t take very long for General Hospital fans to respond to the news. Many of them took to social media to write, “It sounds like this guy is going to be Sonny’s right hand man which means he might be the new Jason Morgan in town. I’m liking this already,” along with, “While there’s no way that anyone could ever replace Steve Burton, I like where this is going. The soap needed some fresh blood on the show.”

General Hospital Spoilers: What’s Next For Dex?

Another fan wrote, “This guy sounds like he is picking up exactly where Jason Morgan last left off. Obviously Sonny needs someone in his life, and it looks like this guy could be his young protegee. I’m looking forward to learning more about Dex.”

With that said, fans will have to tune in each and every day to find out what will happen next! Meanwhile, 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.

      You are so right! I agree with you.

  • Sue

    Agreed. No one can replace Steve Burton, so why try. You had the best, you can’t replace by the rest!,,

  • Barbara

    Woo Hoo! I think it’s great that Sonny is getting a NEW right hand man.

    • Jessie Attaway

      Yes he does. He’s had Jason for years and he lost without him. OTS…if they ever decide to replace Jason / Steve, it should be Jordi (Ray) from Y&R. Handsome, well built, has that enforcer look and he and Britt would look good together..

  • VeraEllen Kapulak

    I agree. Over 55 years of watching GH
    and please don’t replace Jason with
    a guy that has muscles.
    There is a lot of NAMES you don’t need to use Jason as a new replacement.
    We didn’t use Steve,Audrey, Edward and
    Lila names. Let the name Jason R.I.P.
