Basic Hospital comings and goings reveal Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) goes to be exiting Port Charles quickly inside the subsequent few weeks as Steve Burton has simply taped his final episode earlier than he goes on a prolonged hiatus from GH.
The massive query is how and why Jason is written out on the ABC cleaning soap opera. Let’s discuss Steve Burton’s upcoming exit. And the way they might write Jason out.
Jason Morgan in Hazard on Basic Hospital
Now, let’s dive in as a result of the sharks are circling in Port Charles and Stone Chilly is on the middle of harmful drama. So, the information broke this week that Steve Burton is taking a break from Basic Hospital. He mentioned he needed to spend extra time along with his household. He married his new spouse, Michelle Lundström, 9 months in the past. And Steve mentioned he needs to spend some high quality time along with his household. However he does plan to return to the cleaning soap.
There may be some chatter that he and his new spouse Michelle are relocating from California again to Nashville. However he hasn’t personally confirmed that. That continues to be within the rumor column. And it’s supposedly about his ex-wife relocating again east. And eager to be across the youngster he shares along with her nonetheless.
Steve Burton’s GH Hiatus and Return Timeline
Irrespective of the specifics, Steve Burton is leaving for some time. And he not too long ago taped his final episodes. GH is darkish. And so they’re not filming for a few weeks. However earlier than he left, earlier than everyone went out for the darkish weeks, they have been filming for late March and early April when he wrapped.
So, Jason’s last episode needs to be in about six weeks. Additionally, our inside supply tells us that Steve Burton is planning to be again to filming in late Could or early June. And meaning we might have Jason again on display by round July, which might truthfully be actually good timing. As a result of that might be proper when summer season sweeps hits.
So, Burton’s going to be off-screen from roughly late March by way of July, about three months, give or take. And naturally, that begs the query, what occurs to get Jason off-screen for 2 to 3 months whereas Steve Burton is out on his hiatus.
Jason Morgan’s Mission to Save Anna Devane in France on Basic Hospital
Jason simply discovered from Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) that Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) has some twisted tie to Anna Devane (Finola Hughes). And naturally Jason’s received Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) points as nicely. So there’s a variety of issues that he’s into that would ship him out. Initially, I feel the likeliest risk is Jason leaves to go assist Anna. As a result of he’s very frightened about her proper now.
Jason’s concern simply intensified when Josslyn confirmed him Cesar Faison’s (Anders Hove) e book that he devoted to Anna with the Muse message written into it and the cigarillo she present in Cullum’s coat. That’s when Jason flashed again to Britt telling him how ruthless Cullum is and that he wouldn’t suppose twice about killing Jason.
After what Josslyn informed him, Jason could notice Cullum is in some way concerned in what has occurred to Anna and could also be in some way chargeable for her breakdown. And now her incarceration at this clinic in France. So, it may very well be that Jason’s planning to take off to France to assist Anna after which as soon as he leaves Port Charles, he abruptly disappears.
The WSB Connection and Potential Captivity at Steinauer
We all know Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) has needed Jason to be a WSB asset for a very long time. So, he might play into it. And naturally, Brennan can also be suspicious about what’s occurring with Anna. Any individual may seize Jason in France. And stick him in a random unmarked cell in Steinauer. Or Jason may very well be drugged. And caught in the identical psychological hospital as Anna till they resolve what to do with him.
Jason is feeling actually responsible about Anna, so to me, this appears doubtless. Plus, Finola Hughes remains to be on her personal hiatus. She is filming very minimally in order that she will be able to have an extended break from the cleaning soap that was negotiated with the powers that be. However each she and Steve Burton stay on contract. So Jason and Anna will each be again and their absences could also be intertwined.
The Quest for Britt Westbourne’s Remedy and a Hostage Twist on GH
The second factor we additionally know is Jason’s frightened about Britt’s meds. So Jason could break into Wyndemere to search for the stash of Huntington’s drugs for Britt so he can get a vial in order that Brick (Stephen A. Smith) can have it reverse engineered.
We might even see Pascal (Mark Neglect) or Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) capturing Jason, getting the drop on him, drugging him, or sticking him in the identical room the place they have been holding Anna. That may be ironic. And that might be particularly wild. As a result of Britt may even know that Jason’s there. However is unable to assist him. As a result of Cullum would kill Jason if she defied him.
Britt is aware of her personal life is in danger, not simply from the Huntington’s. However from Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) placing a bullet in her. So, Britt wouldn’t be in any place to assist Jason even when she knew he was there. He could be caught as a hostage to leverage Britt into ending her analysis ASAP.
A Presumed Useless Aircraft Crash State of affairs for Jason Morgan on Basic Hospital
One other approach that Basic Hospital might exit Jason is to repeat a plot they did along with his twin brother, Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison), a number of years again. They might have Jason flying to France on a personal jet to go assist Anna. After which the aircraft goes down and Jason’s presumed lifeless.
In the event you keep in mind, they did that when Drew was heading to Afghanistan to return the soiled cash Hank “Shiloh” Archer (Coby Ryan McLaughlin) stole. That was when Billy Miller was within the function. And it was how they exited him. So, Drew’s aircraft supposedly crashed. After which he was presumed lifeless. However Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) had him the entire time.
After which, after all, we received the Drew recastCameron Mathison. After all, Carly Corinthos Spencer (Laura Wright) would flip out if Jason goes lacking and Carly may ask Jack to try to discover out what occurred to Jason. That’s if she and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) haven’t destroyed Jack by then. So that would pull Carly into the story.
May Jason Morgan Finish Up in a Coma on GH?
One other risk is Sidwell places Jason right into a coma like he did Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) they usually stick Jason into some tremendous safe personal long-term care facility as a Jake Doe, which might be ironic since that was what Drew was referred to as. Simply to place him on ice for now.
And naturally, that is possible. As a result of that was how they lined for Kirsten Storms’ break by having Sidwell put Maxie in a coma. It will even be ironic if Jason’s put in a coma whereas Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) has his twin brother Drew locked in awake. However mainly bodily comatose.
But it surely additionally may very well be Marco that does it to Jason, not Sidwell. As a result of we all know that Marco needs Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) eradicated and getting his guard canine Jason out of the way in which would assist.
Why One other Jason Morgan Dying Story Would Upset GH Followers
Now, one last risk that I truthfully hope doesn’t occur is that Jason is gunned down and GH tries to persuade us that he’s actually lifeless but once more. That is the factor that I’ve seen GH followers least eager to see based mostly on cleaning soap social media. Any form of Jason loss of life story the place they attempt to persuade the viewers he’s gone is unwelcome.
He was already shot and killed as soon as by Cesar Faison when he was disguised as Duke Lavery (Ian Buchanan) again when Steve Burton exited to go to Younger and Stressed. After which he got here again. Due to the Covid vaccine stuff they wrote Jason out once more. And he died within the tunnels in Greece.
So, I’m actually hoping they don’t go that route once more. Hopefully, in the event that they do a presumed lifeless state of affairs, it’s one the place the followers know that he’s alive. And the folks in Port Charles could presume he’s lifeless.
I feel that’s actually the one approach {that a} Jason loss of life twist is suitable in the event that they don’t try to trick followers into considering he’s lifeless. Wait to see. However I’m certain that as Steve Burton’s last episode airs, we’re going to wind up with a really stunning exit for Jason Morgan.
