His character’s interactions have been complex and sometimes perplexing as he went from being a promising med student to a mob boss lacky to an assassin without peer.
Stone Cold has had several romances despite his somewhat limited emotional range including one with Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) and one with Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst).
JaSam recently broke up and it looks to be for good this time. Sam just isn’t able to put her kids in the line of fire anymore and told Jason to pack his guns and go. And he did just that, straight to a ratty bus station where shot and killed a bad guy.

But it is his relationship with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) that takes the cake because it was Sonny who sheltered him after his accident when he had amnesia. Through the years Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) and Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) have also been constants in his life providing support, friendship and in the case of Spinelli, most excellent detective skills.
Happy Anniversary Steve Burton, Port Charles would not be the same without you!
