Is Steve Burton Coming Back to ‘General Hospital’?
Steve Burton might make his way back to General Hospital soon as fan-fave Jason Morgan. If things play out right for the GH legacy character, Stone Cold may come back from the dead — again. Recent developments at ABC suggest the mobster’s return is a good possibility.
Steve Burton Missed on General Hospital
These days, there’s a giant void on GH for many viewers. Steve Burton’s longtime character Jason is greatly missed, and fans want him back. He has ties to people all over Port Chuck, and his loved ones need him back. His son, Jake Webber (Hudson West), is struggling.

And, of course, Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) needs him desperately, as does his BFF Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Plus, Carly is growing closer to Jason’s twin brother, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison).
So, it will be perfectly soapy for the love of Carly’s life to return right as she falls for Drew. Steve is still hoping to head back to GH someday. And it may be closer than he thinks…
Still Jason Morgan at Heart
Steve still tours all the time with his real-life bestie Bradford Anderson who plays tech genius Damian Spinelli, on General Hospital. Their stand-up music comedy show Stone Cold and the Jackal is a huge hit, and they tour often.
He has played Jason for so long that the character is still a part of his life. He still embraces his mobster alter ego on the stage. And he would like to continue playing the enforcer. No doubt, Bradford wants him back on the GH scene also.
He never wanted his best friend to leave in the first place. But, even though he disagreed with Steve’s decision, he still supported him. The actor wasn’t at the latest GH convention — possibly because it coincided with his tour dates.
However, neither was Sam McCall’s alter ego Kelly Monaco, Hamilton Finn actor Michael Easton, and several others. So, his absence is not an indication of his status on the soap. In fact, all signs suggest Steve will resurface as the beloved gangster…
Another Shot as Stone Cold on General Hospital?
There is a great chance that Steve Burton could return to GH. ABC will likely lift the vax requirement. The mask mandate for airlines ends on April 18th. And the vax mandate could very well be next. If so, there will be nothing standing in the way of his return.

Steve left General Hospital on good terms. Furthermore, he expressed how much he hated to leave the sudser and would love to finish out his acting career as Jason. And now that the LA City Council has voted to end its vax mandate for businesses, it’s likely he might come back.
Plus, Stone Cold is about to be legally declared dead on GH. Indeed, that’s perfect timing for him to pop back up. So, tune in every day to see if Steve Burton shakes things up and brings Jason back to life on the ABC sudser.
