Steve Burton Returns to 'General Hospital' After 'Days of Our Lives' Exit

The actor's return follows his departure from 'Days of Our Lives' and comes after a controversial exit from 'General Hospital' due to a vaccine mandate.

Steve Burton, known for his role as Jason Morgan, is returning to 'General Hospital' after being fired in 2021 for refusing to comply with the show's COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Burton's return was announced during an ABC primetime special celebrating the show's 60th anniversary.
Prior to his return, Burton spent a year on NBC's 'Days of Our Lives', but announced his departure from the show just days before his 'General Hospital' return was revealed.
