Steve Burton Returning to GH — Plus, Who's Leaving the ABC Soap?

"General Hospital" fave Steve Burton — who vacated the role of Jason Morgan in 2012 after a two-decade run — is heading back to the ABC soap, Daytime Confidential reports.

Of course, Jason is currently being portrayed by Billy Miller, so it’s not clear if Burton would be playing a new role or replacing his replacement. A rep for the sudser declined to confirm Burton’s return.



In other news, Soap Opera Digest reports that suds vet Rebecca Budig is on her way out at GH, despite signing a four-year contract with the show last summer.

She’s expected to make her final appearance as Hayden Barnes, a role she originated in 2015, later this summer.

Glad to see him back, I really felt he was a major great part of the show.

This is what I wished for. I have really missed Steve Burton as Jason. I am so excited. Welcome back, Steve Burton/Jason! :wave: :D

It’s finally happening: Hayden Barnes is coming back to Port Charles.

EW has learned exclusively that Rebecca Budig — a.k.a. Hayden, that conniving little heartbreaker who ran out on Finn (Michael Easton) — will return to "General Hospital" this summer.

The brass is staying mum about Hayden’s much-anticipated return, though it seems kind of obvious that she’s ready to introduce her baby to its father!
