GH: Rumors regarding the vaccine mandate

[John]

Maybe they wont discuss it until his last scenes air. Soaps have done this before. If Ingo didnt share that Transphobic meme, I wonder if they would have announced Jax's exit before it happens on screen

[Nixor]

I have no sources, except the dream which is a wish my heart made. 

But seriously won’t we know soon? Either he will be off the air in a week or two or he won’t. And if he’s not leaving and they dropped the MOC storyline turns true love for no reason I find this show very confusing. 

[AlexElizabeth]

With Ingo being done on Monday (woohoo), I'd think we'd know about Burton soon too. I guess if he got vaxxed at the last second, Jason could be off screen for a couple weeks and then come back. If only the actual stories on GH were this dramatic, lol. 

[John]

Truth. Yeah if He wasnt Vaxxed on NOV 1 but has gotten Vaxxed Im sure he will be back soon 

I think the tunnel collapse was a way to write Jason out & bring him back if SB ended up getting the vaccine done

 

Now I also read Carolyn Hennesy wasnt keen on the mandate. Wonder if weve seen the last of Diane?

I lack insider info. But your theory seems reasonable.

This thread is more interesting than all the soaps!

[j swift]

To me this thread plays like an old James Reilly script:

Someone talking to themselves in their living room - "I cannot marry the one I love because my previously unknown brother, who is secretly dying, but won't tell her, is in love with her"

equals

Someone posting to this thread - "I must defend and believe my unnamed sources even though these rumors are gross, illogical, and have been debunked, because I dislike how their character is written"

Steve leaving has not been debunked

[j swift]

Well at least someone is willing to admit that these rumors are gross and illogical, so that's some progress...

I don't think the rumors were absurd and I believed them for a while but it sure doesn't feel like anyone involved is acting as if SB is leaving imminently.

Wouldn't it be funny if they had let the rumors run rampant on the Internet to gin up suspense and interest in the climax of the Peter story? 
Unlikely for soaps nowadays, we are genuinely not sure Jason will "survive" (I mean, even if dead he wouldn't really be dead but you get my point) whatever final battle. 
So honestly from a marketing POV this is well-played by GH if that's what they are doing.

[Vee]

Grain of salt, anecdotal, but this is floating around and I didn't see it here (and it's from one of his stans):

 

[John]

Yeah I saw too, Vee

Having to show a negative test at The Talk, Ok. 

 

Hasnt been at GH since OCT 29. Yeah that cliffhanger Friday fits

I find it irresponsible for The Talk to have supposedly an unvaccinated actor on its set not only there but without a mask.

He's definitely gone from the show. Why all the mystery by him? Just say you're vaccinated. He's not.

[AlexElizabeth]

Not that I doubt it but how do we necessarily know that he hasn't been on the GH set? Unless that was stated on the podcast. I'm not gonna listen to find out LOL. 

I don't want to have to sit through the people of PC mourning Jason again

Some shows are ok with a negative test if you are gonna be on set. Thats why I wonder what Days. BB & YR have for mandates: Vaccine or Negative tests

 

I know they all still do masking before filming

If he doesnt come out of that rubble, you know that we will Jason has "Died". I mean what else can you do with Mob characters like Jason & Sonny
