General Hospital’s Asher Antonyzyn Celebrates 3 Years After Originally Booking Just 3 Episodes
Danny Morgan actor Asher Antonyzyn hit a special GH milestone and thanked the people who helped turn three episodes into three years.
General Hospital (GH) child star who plays Danny Morgan on the ABC daytime soap just celebrated a special occasion and it seems like all his Christmases came at once. Read on for more details.
Jason’s Son On The Show
Fans of the show know that Danny’s the teenage son of Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and the late Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco).
It’s already been three years since his debut, and that was his reason for celebrating this weekend. Did you know that he was originally only meant to star in three episodes?
Celebrating His Milestone
Taking to his Instagram account on November 1, Asher Antonyzyn wrote a long caption and in it, he expressed his wonderful experience working with the rest of the cast.
He said, “Three episodes. That was the original commitment. “Unless they decide to write more for your character…” Then he noted, “Thankfully, they did.”
Very grateful for the opportunity, he explained that now he’s headed into his fourth year.
Shouting Out His Helpers
Selecting certain members of the team for their help, Asher wrote:
Thank you, @markteschner and @fvalentinigh, for taking a chance on me. Thank you, @holly_gagnier, for coaching me and helping me grow. Thank you, @1steveburton, for working with me, teaching me, and helping me find my way as your son on screen. And thank you to all of the scene partners I’ve had the privilege of working with over the past three years.
Others Deserving Of Recognition
You probably already know that General Hospital cast members seem to get along well. And that’s not true of every workplace.
Asher added, “I’ve been lucky to work with so many incredible people in front of and behind the camera. Thank you for making me feel like part of the family and giving me so much to learn from.”
Of course, young Danny Morgan’s actor also thanked his fans for all of their support.
Fans React
In the comments section, lots of people showed their love by putting up likes. Hundreds of others wrote down their thoughts.
One of them said, “Been a GH fan since I was 15 and they could not have picked a better Danny to play Jason’s aka Steve’s son. You guys are fire! 🔥 best casting for Jason’s kids!”
Another GH supporter said, “Danny is the type of character that becomes part of the show’s foundation – like when Steve joined GH as Jason. You are a perfect fit for the role.”
Then someone else told Asher Antonyzyn, “Happy 3rd Anniversary on GH Asher! They did a great job when they hired you to play Danny! You’re an amazing actor!”
