If TSJ joins the show, you know he'll have tons of scenes with Austin since Frank thinks this is OLTL. 

If THAT were true there be many more ONE LIFE actors on the show. smh.  I agree Michael Easton and Roger Howarth should have NEVER had so many roles on GH. 

With the Vaccine mandate in effect, I wonder if Kristina Wagner would return

It seems that they don't know anything but wanted to write an article.

Edited November 16, 20214 yr by janea4old

In their original article, TVLine included this paragraph:
"All eyes now are on Rademacher’s castmate Steve Burton, who plays Jason Morgan and claimed in August that he had had tested positive for COVID after being “exposed at work.” While Burton hasn’t expounded on social media, as Rademacher has, there has been unverified speculation that he has thus far chosen not to be vaccinated."

In the current version of that same TVLine article, that paragraph about Burton has been removed.

(I do believe Burton is gone.
Just noticing that TVLine decided not to say it.)

Interesting.

On The SOD Newest Podcast where they interviewed Emma Samms (who is still dealing with LONG COVID), They discuss Ingo being out due to not being vaccinated and state that at least one more is out & news should drop soon

news should drop soon

Well considering that Ingo's final episode is Nov 22, I imagine Burton's final episode will also be soon. There will have to be something in the script saying Jason has left town, is missing, is dead, or is in a coma, etc. to explain Burton no longer being on screen.   And/or a recast would be announced.

I doubt either role is currently being recast

 

I could see a Jax recast as I feel That Transphobic meme he shared wont get him back on GH even if he got vaccinated

 

I feel with Burton if he would get vaccinated GH would ask him back. So I see them leaving Jason's exit open ended

Look for Brando (Johnny Wactor) to take up the Jason mantle as Sonny's confidant. More news to come.

Errol do you think they are leaving Jason Open and out there in case Burton ever gets vaccinated?

Not soap-related, but relevant to the Disney mandate.

"Original 9-1-1 cast member Rockmond Dunbar is leaving the hit Fox drama series after more than four seasons. His character, Michael Grant, was abruptly written off in last night’s episode. According to sources, Dunbar’s departure stems from the new Covid protocols on the show, produced by Disney TV Studios’ 20th Television, which require all actors to be vaccinated."

Oy, Brando.

More Blando? Yawn. 

GH should re-cast Jason IMHO, since Jason is an important character to the canvas.  Britt needs Jason imho in her storyline.
