Fan favorite Steve Burton is returning to a daytime soap for a full-time gig — but it’s not back on General Hospital. Peacock revealed today that Burton will reprise his role as Harris Michaels on Days Of Our Lives early next year.

Details about the return are being kept under wraps. It’s a return home for Burton, who made his daytime television debut on Days of our Lives in 1988, and recently reprised his role of Harris for the Peacock Original series spin-off of Days of our Lives, Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem.

More than a year since he exited the role of Jason Morgan on “General Hospital,” actor Steve Burton is returning to daytime television in the contract role of Harris Michaels on Peacock’s “Days of our Lives.” He first portrayed the character in 1988 and again in the summer of 2022 during Chapter 2 of “Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem.”

According to the soap, Burton will return to the iconic series early next year for a thrilling new storyline and will work alongside veteran cast members, including Stephen Nichols, Mary Beth Evans, Deidre Hall, Drake Hogestyn, and more.

Additional details on Burton’s return are currently being kept under wraps, but fans can look forward to more mystery, high-stakes adventure, and romance with Harris returning to the canvas next year.

A few years after making his daytime debut on “DAYS,” Burton joined “GH” in the then role of Jason Quartermaine. The character later became the dangerous hitman fans came to love who worked for mob boss Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Burton won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 1998 for the role. Burton eventually joined “The Young and the Restless” as Dylan McAvoy, a former military service member who served in Afghanistan. He also won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his portrayal. He won the award in 2014.

The press release says Burton will begin airing on Days as Harris Michaels "early in 2023". 

Due to the 6-month tape-to-airdate gap at DAYS, that would mean he (probably) has already been taping at DAYS for a while - which would mean that he likely began taping at DAYS long before Disney dropped the vaccine mandate.

But DAYS tapes wildly out of order, so maybe he's been taping at DAYS for quite a while, or maybe he just began, or maybe he's already done. Hard to say.

Actually MBE said they're about four months ahead since the move to Peacock. 

So many current characters that deserve stories yet a relative newbie gets one. 

That's probably why they didn't sign Zack Tinker to a contract. The money went to Steve Burton.

And moisturize...

Look, I would be horrified if people were able to compare my looks in 2022 with when I had a bleached blond mullet in 1987 (metaphorically, because I've never bleached my hair nor worn a mullet).  But, if that were true I would be sure to protect my skin and hair at all costs.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      I do wonder if the show realized that fans would take to Silk Press and Eva as much as we have?    To me, I think the core four was mostly used to get eyes on the show since all four were familiar performers in both daytime and primetime.   Of the four, I think Nicole is used most effectively where it doesn't look as though she's hogging airtime.  She works as a lead and as a talk to. Anita has been the most under utilized of the four, but I do have a feeling that might be changing once the Ted/Nicole/Eva/Silk Press Story goes back to support status. Of the four, I think Dani has been over-used.. but I do still see potential for the character.  I know some people think she's the modern day Erica Kane, but I don't see that.  Erica was a Have Not that became a Have while Dani is a Have by birth and has done nothing to have earned being a Have. Good cliffhanger.

      I think this is a great observation.  I do wonder if some of that was down to how Nixon had started writing story and plot outlines.  By this point (maybe even by the mid 70s) many have discussed how she *didn't* write detailed story outlines anymore--the focus more was on a mood or theme and ABC simply allowed that because they trusted her at this stage (in her "memoir" I think even Megan McTavish talks about Nixon's writing in this way in the 90s and she basically seems to admit that it worked for Nixon.  But if Nixon wasn't in charge of the daily execution of these ideas...)

      Ooooooo that was a soap reveal!!!   And we even got a brief Kat vs Eva fight.   OOoooo cliffhanger!!! Oh, yeah, I remember they had a cover story, but I find it interesting that it was just mentioned again today. I wonder could it be foreshadowing another twist coming up.

      Eva and Dana came up with a story to tell Fairmont residents that Dana's name is Leslie and that Leslie is Eva's surrogate/foster mom who took her in after Eva's real mom died. This is what they agreed to tell everyone. But Eva is really Dana's daughter, or at least as far as Eva knows and believes.  Eva believes Dana really is her mom.

      Dani...and Eva??? And now Ted and Nicole are setting her up for success. These scenes are sooooo giving old school soap when the schemer is being set up for a fall...loving it.    YASSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! He showed up with his FOINE self!!   Oh my Goodness! Kat is really on it today. Wait! Eva is the daughter of one of Leslie's friends who passed away. OH, REALLY? So that cover story might not be just a cover story then...   These Eva vs Silk Press Sheila scenes!!!    Awww...I guess no Vanessa, but at least she was mentioned.
