It has just been confirmed that Steve Burton who has played Jason Morgan since 1991 is leaving the role.
Noooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
He is open to returning someday but for now is leaving for personal reasons.
Re-casting this role would be a huge mistake as Steve is a fan favorite. So what can fans expect from his exit???
We are all hoping for a conclusion to the baby swap and that may happen with the return of the character Tea who actually has Sam and Jason's baby. This will happen September 7th and wouldn't it be nice to have a happy ending for Sam and Jason???
Even though we know it is not going to last since Steve is leaving the show, maybe the fans will get some closure to the Sam and Jason storyline.
As a longtime GH fan I have been waiting for YEARS for Jason to remember his life as a Quartermaine. Jason became a mob enforcer after he had a brain injury in a car accident that was caused by his drunken brother AJ (Michael's bio-dad) and only natural child of Monica and Alan Quartermaine.
At the time of the accident Jason was a pre-med student who was primed to follow in the footsteps of his parents, both doctors at General Hospital. After the accident Jason awoke and turned his back on the Quartermaines and finding a life of crime with mobster Sonny Corinthos.
Although all that is left of the Quartermaines are his adoptive mother Monica, grandfather Edward and Aunt Tracy, having Jason remember who he was would still be some interesting drama. Imagine the conflict of remembering who he once wanted to be compared to the life he lives now?
We love the bad boy Jason who has a heart of gold. We have loved his romance with Sam and struggled while we watch his torment at the hands of his own twin brother Franco.
Jason will be missed in Port Charles. Who is Carly going to run to every time she makes a stupid mistake? What about Elizabeth? Jason and Elizabeth have a romantic history and her feelings for him are still strong.
So how will they choose to have Jason go off into the sunset???
As soon as I find out I will be back here to discuss it and get your feedback.
It will not be the same around Port Charles without Jason Morgan.
Best wishes to Steve Burton who has always been so gracious to his fans. We hope your "break" from GH doesn't last long and you return to GH.
