Back in February, it was revealed that Steve Burton was taking a brief leave from General Hospital. He filmed his last episode in the primary week of the month, which was aired recently. Fans were intrigued to learn the way writers would showcase the exit of his character, Jason Morgan, onscreen.
The previous couple of weeks saw Jason and Britt deciding to go away town after getting their hands on the Huntington’s medication she needed. This was done so she could get away from Sidwell and Cullum’s blackmailing. But things didn’t go that way. Here’s what happened and the way Jason excited the show.
General Hospital: Jason Takes The Fall To Protect Rocco In Dramatic Exit
On the piers, Jason found Britt unconscious and Cullum about to shoot her. The 2 men began fighting, and Rocco stumbled upon the skirmish. The latter pulled the trigger when Cullum was about to attack Jason. To maintain Rocco protected, Jason then made it seem like he was the one who shot Cullum.
Cullum was taken to the hospital while Jason was taken into police custody. Dante told Jason that shooting Cullum, a WSB director, was a serious crime that might change the course of his life. Jason obviously knew that, which is precisely why he ensured that Rocco didn’t suffer those consequences.
Jason was cuffed by WSB agents, and Brennan revealed that the order to take him away got here from the higher-ups, and he couldn’t reveal where he was being taken. Since a WSB director was involved, it was considered a world incident, and their authority superseded any local government.
Cullum was revealed to be stable after surviving his surgery. Jason asked Alexis to care for his son Danny. When Jason was being escorted away, Britt ran over and told him she loved him. Danny arrived soon after and rushed to fulfill him. He was informed Jason was being taken away.
Danny was left distraught as he yelled this was not right and so they couldn’t do that. He tried to stop the vehicle but was pulled away by Nathan. Jason checked out his son through teary eyes as he bid him farewell. It stays to be seen where Jason is being taken now and when he’ll return home.
Within the post where he announced his transient break, he revealed that he shall be back on General Hospital as Jason Morgan through the summer. Fans are usually not sure what to anticipate, but they’re hopeful of seeing their soap star back.
