General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that we have to ask: Is GH recasting Jason Morgan? Will they find a replacement now that Steve Burton is moving on?
Burton has been vocal in interviews about moving forward and appreciating new opportunities. One of those new opportunities involves playing Harris Michaels on Peacock’s Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem.
That could easily lead to Burton working out a deal with the main show if all goes well.
Regardless, it’s clear that Burton is done at GH for the foreseeable future. With that in mind, we have to think about what that means for the character he left behind.
Jason Morgan was a fan favorite – and he was always involved in plenty of storylines.
For some viewers, there’s been a void ever since Jason was presumed dead in that cave-in.
No other character is quite like the one and only Jason Morgan, so the show might be tempted to replace Steve Burton down the road.
After all, the ABC soap has had a successful Jason recast before.
Billy Miller gained many supporters when he was playing the role of Jason, but a rewrite made him Drew Cain until he departed and was ultimately replaced by Cameron Mathison.
It just goes to show how often recasts happen and how things can change.
There are some fans who would argue that Steve Burton is the only one right for the part, but there are others who would certainly give someone else a chance.
A new actor could put his own spin on Jason Morgan and get involved in some hot new stories.
Since Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) seems like a terrible match for Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud), it’d be nice to see her get another shot with Jason – even if he’s played by someone besides Burton.
Of course, there’d also be the potential for a Jason and Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) reunion, so that would certainly make some loyal “JaSam” shippers happy.
Even a love triangle with Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) and Drew would be a possibility, so there’d be no shortage of love interest options for Jason.
It’d be great for Jason to reunite with his children along with Carly, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and so many others in Port Charles. Jason is most definitely missed by the people he left behind.
Although it doesn’t look like any plans for a Jason Morgan recast are in the works right now, it could happen somewhere down the line.
Would you be on board with a Jason Morgan recast?
