Steve Burton Takes Short Leave From General Hospital, Sets Summer Return

The actor says he is pausing work to spend time with his newly married family.

Overview

  • Burton announced the hiatus on Instagram, calling it a brief, family-focused break.
  • Soap Opera Digest reports his last filming day for now was February 6, ahead of a two-week production pause at GH.
  • Executive producer Frank Valentini said the show supported the request and plans for Burton to rejoin in the summer.
  • Because the soap tapes weeks in advance, Jason Morgan will remain on-screen for a period before the absence is visible.
  • No specific return date has been released, and the pause intersects with ongoing Jason storylines.
