General Hospital fans are excited for Steve Burton’s return as Jason Morgan after his recent hiatus. After he decided to step away, his name was removed from the contract list in the closing credits back in April. Now, Burton has assured viewers that he’ll be back filming this June at the ABC soap.
Jason’s return is eagerly anticipated, and it shouldn’t be long before he’s back on-screen. In a recent episode of his ‘That’s Awesome’ podcast with Bradford Anderson (Damian Spinelli), Steve Burton hinted he’ll be returning under contract. The two addressed a fan question about how far in advance General Hospital actors know their schedules, leading to a comparison of their experiences since Anderson has been on recurring for years.

Steve Burton Confirms GH Contract Status
“For you, it’s different than it is a contract person…” Burton told Anderson during the podcast. Burton continued to share his insights as a contract player, offering his perspective on how things work.
The General Hospital star seemed to confirm his contract status ahead of Jason’s comeback, which is promising news. This likely means that when Burton appears on-screen again this summer, his name will return to the contract section of the credits. Since he gave no sign he’d be a recurring player, it looks like a new contract is set for his next stint as Jason.

Much has changed in Port Charles since the WSB took Jason away. Currently, Jason is being held at a black site in Jakarta, enduring tough conditions as a WSB prisoner. Still, Jason is expected to make a dramatic return soon.
