General Hospital Spoilers: Steve Burton Returns To GH As The Original Jason - Two Jasons Revealed in Port Charles

General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that Steve Burton’s return as Jason will have viewers on the edge of their seats and provide a nice boost to the GH ratings which haven’t been the best lately. Sam (Kelly Monaco) is on the verge of a breakdown. Jason (Billy Miller) can sense that big trouble is brewing.

Jason is desperate to get Sam some help before she really loses it. Sam will open up to a doctor about her bizarre hallucinations and ask what she can do about them. However, a few more twists will play out before Sam regains control.

You’ve probably heard by now that Steve Burton is returning to General Hospital. As Jason’s former portrayer, there’s been a lot of speculation about Burton taking back the role. That would obviously enrage Billy Miller supporters, which isn’t a good idea. Miller has made the part his own and there’s no reason to shove out a popular actor. Furthermore, there is nothing to suggest that Steve is looking for a full-time role right now in Daytime.

Instead, General Hospital has laid the groundwork for a short stint involving Burton’s version of Jason. We’re hearing the news of Burton’s return to GH right as Sam is coming unhinged. It’s becoming harder and harder for her to distinguish fantasy from reality – this is NOT a coincidence.

The soap world is in a tizzy over the possibility of two Jasons running amok in Port Charles, but General Hospital buzz is it seems likely that Burton’s Jason will simply be in Sam’s mind. As her memories and fears collide, Sam will envision the old Jason. She could interact with him and struggle to make sense of what it all means. Naturally, when Sam imagines or remembers Jason before his accident and plastic surgery she pictures Steve Burton, the original Jason.

This would help General Hospital avoid mass hysteria over a Jason shakeup. Steve Burton has plenty of fans and this would give them a chance to see him back in action. It would also appease Billy Miller lovers since Burton’s version wouldn’t be the real deal. It’s a win-win situation for the ABC soap. It sounds like stunt casting at its finest!

Let’s not forget that recent GH plots have implied some Jason history that took place prior to Billy Miller’s adoption of the role and before Jason’s plastic surgery. The details of Sam’s upcoming hallucinations won’t be made clear yet, but General Hospital will undoubtedly deliver something entertaining. We know that Helena’s (Constance Towers) curse still needs to be broken. That may be how the old Jason is going to tie in. Whatever the case, Sam is going to get much worse before she gets better.

What fans need to understand is that there will not be two live Jason’s running around Port Charles simultaneously – Steve Burton will play the original Jason in Sam’s mind and possibly in retrospective scenes that take place prior to Jason’s plastic surgery. Don’t worry – Billy Miller isn’t going anywhere.

How do you feel about Steve Burton’s return? Are you anxious to see him again? Do you think it’s best for Burton’s Jason to pop up in Sam’s head instead of reclaiming the role? We’ll give you updates as other info comes in. Stay tuned to GH and don’t forget to check CDL often for the latest General Hospital spoilers, updates and news.
