Steve Burton has a very good reason to once again play Jason Morgan on "General Hospital." His ex-wife, Sheree Gustin, took him to the cleaners after their messy divorce was finalized, resulting in the soap star having to pay her $12,500 a month in child support. He's going to need another stream of income to finance that hefty settlement and returning to "GH" is the obvious solution. It's tough to figure out why such strange casting decisions are occurring over at "Days of Our Lives," and the fact that the sudser didn't renew his contract illustrates that they ran out of ideas for Harris Michaels.
Sure, Harris smiled a lot more than Jason, but fans prefer the lethal hitman who didn't need to emote much to convey his feelings and was loyal to his friends and family. Jason was presumably killed off when a cave collapsed on him after he heroically saved several lives. Despite working for the mob, Jason was an anti-hero, and the show needs him desperately. His former boss, Sonny Corinthos' (Maurice Benard), life is falling apart, as is his best friend, Carly Spencer's (Laura Wright), after she received the devastating news that her mom, Bobbie Spencer (Jacklyn Zeman), had died in her sleep.
Jason's also got kids who need him, as do several other characters including his other good friend, Anna Devane (Finola Hughes). While the show is currently firing on all cylinders with some great storylines, his return would be especially thrilling!
