“General Hospital” star Steve Burton confirmed he has been ousted from his longtime gig after he did not comply with production’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
“I wanted you to hear it from me personally,” he said on Instagram, before explaining his stance on the topic as a whole. “Unfortunately, ‘General Hospital’ has let me go because of the vaccine mandate. I did apply for my medical and religious exemptions, and both of those were denied, which, you know, hurts. But this is also about personal freedom to me.”
Can’t recall if it was mentioned on here, but another longtime GH actor was fired for the same reason a couple of weeks ago, Ingo Rademacher (played Jax). I haven’t watched GH in many years, so can’t boycott it now. LOL
Funny memory with the character of Jason Morgan. I was in the hospital having my child at the same time Jason was born. :)
GH just got rid of two of its most popular, enduring characters. We’ll see how that flies with fans.
