Yesterday’s General Hospital episode sparked some fan excitement regarding Steve Burton, who used to play Jason Morgan but is now Dylan McAvoy on The Young and the Restless.
After the infamous Victor Cassadine teased that Jason is very much alive and well (if only in a cryogenic state) and then showed a picture of Burton onscreen, viewers began wondering if the actor is leaving his Genoa City home and returning to Port Charles! But is it true?
The last we saw of Jason he lay on the edge of the pier, bleeding, motionless as Faison kicked him into the freezing water where Jason disappeared! The body was never found.
Fans began buzzing about his status immediately after the episode aired, and when one asked him via Twitter if he’s under contract at Y&R, he set the record straight:
So it looks like the actor won’t be returning to Port Charles. But showing the picture of Jason a very purposeful move on behalf of GH, meaning there’s a chance the character will soon be recast.
