General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that Steve Burton’s (ex-Jason) return is going to pack a punch this fall. Viewers should get ready for some major bombshells and huge shifts in the show’s overall direction. Michael Fairman recently spoke with Frank Valentini, GH’s executive producer. The interview offered some interesting hints about what’s ahead on the ABC soap.
Steve Burton’s comeback is what everyone’s been buzzing about. General Hospital spoilers indicate that Burton’s character will kick off a lengthy storyline and almost all of Port Charles will be affected. Valentin talked about how he remained in touch with Burton after his departure. He noted that Burton expressed interest in returning after he left The Young and the Restless.
Fortunately, the deal came together and they were able to get Burton back on set. Valentini seems excited about the drama Burton’s return will bring. It’s clear that some shakeups are on the way. Valentini said, “I think the most important thing for everyone to know and understand in regards to his return is that it changes the paradigm, and changes the dynamic of the show…”
Valentin elaborated by talking about what those changes will entail. He suggested that we’ll see a lot more romance, intrigue and adventure. Since Burton’s character is jump-starting the shifts, it should be fun to see how things play out. Obviously, there will be questions when someone shows up with Jason’s old face.
That should lead to some plotting and an unraveling mystery. There will definitely be danger and perhaps some rescues as well. All of that covers the intrigue and adventure, but what about the romance? General Hospital spoilers say Sam (Kelly Monaco) will stick with Jason (Billy Miller) initially, but anything could happen down the road. Will she find herself drawn to Burton’s character?
Of course, Sam wouldn’t be the only option. Burton could be paired with almost any lovely lady, even an unavailable one. You never know when General Hospital will throw in an affair or at least strong temptation.
Burton’s character might be revealed as the real Jason later, but that won’t necessarily influence his romantic choices early on. The show may take this opportunity to try something new. Whatever happens, General Hospital will certainly find ways to keep us entertained.
