  • If Jason Morgan is not played by Steve Burton, just leave him died. No one can replace him.

  • Do not recast Jason. With all the vaccine rules it's time to lighten up on the mandates ABC... Everyone else has!
    Bring back Steve Burton!!!

    • you are so wrong. :People are still getting the virus and so are children. People are still wearing masks and yes it's slowed down and again it's picking up, would you or anyone you care about kiss , touch hug face to face without a vaccination? Watch him on his new soap as this was his choice and only his choice,,,his religion...he said and a Doctors excuse???? that truly takes away his respect for all the people he worked with and much luck to him on his new adventure...Everyone likes him but putting other people at risk ...NO WAY!

    • Oh please Steve can be replaced. GH survived with out him when he left the show before ???

  • Big mistake to recast Jason. Steve Burton IS Jason.
    Steve Burton should never have been terminated for not getting the vaccine. It is unconstitutional to force somebody to put something in their body.
    It’s a shame that those who preach ‘my body my choice’ only apply it to what suits their narrative.
