Jason Morgan’s Death
GH spoilers reveal that in November 2021, it was announced that Burton was no longer part of the General Hospital family.
Like Ingo Rademacher (Jasper “Jax” Jacks), Burton refused to comply with the vaccine mandate. As a result, both actors left the roles they played in the ABC soap for years.
