‘General Hospital’ Steve Burton Victim Of Sick Twisted Lies
Steve Burton has been playing Jason Morgan on General Hospital for decades. But when it comes to drama, he wants to leave it on the screen and not in his personal life. The soap star is speaking out after a sick, twisted lie about him circulated on the internet. Keep reading to find out what was said about him.
Steve Burton Praised For Emotional Storyline
The character of Jason Quartermaine changed drastically on General Hospital in 1995. He was injured in a car crash that took his memory and caused a huge personality change. The mob enforcer is known as “Stone Cold” for his stern demeanor. But despite his outward appearance, Jason Morgan still has a heart.
Viewers got a glimpse of it when Jason mourned Sam’s (Kelly Monaco) death last summer. One recent storyline hit even closer to home. The daytime soap finally addressed Monica Quartermaine’s on-screen absence months after Leslie Charleson passed away in real life.
Steve Burton had worked with the actress from the time he joined the show in 1991 until 2023, when she was too ill to appear on the show. Jason was the one who found Monica deceased in her bedroom. He was the one who had to tell the family that she was gone.
The actor earned high praise from viewers for his emotional performance, especially in scenes with Jane Elliot (Tracy Quartermaine.)
Steve Burton Victim Of Sick Twisted Lie
Steve Burton’s real life has seen its share of drama in the last few years. In May 2022, he was forced to announce his separation from his then-wife, Sheree, after she made a pregnancy announcement. It wasn’t his baby. They divorced shortly after.
He married Michelle Lundstrom in Laguna Beach, California, in May 2025. The actor made headlines in August after a woman was scammed out of thousands of dollars by someone pretending to be Steve Burton.
Now he’s the victim of a sick, twisted lie circulating online. A new story claimed that the General Hospital star was sick with cancer and on his deathbed.
Steve Burton reposted screenshots on Instagram of various headlines about his alleged cancer. “Fake,” he wrote on the post. He asked fans to report the Facebook pages spreading the false information.
General Hospital Star Issues Warning To Fans
Scammers and false information are a huge issue on social media. Several stars from the Hallmark Channel recently made a video to warn fans of potential scams asking for money.
Steve Burton has been the victim of both scammers and misinformation. He pleaded with fans to verify sources before believing everything they read on the internet. The actor thanked fans for their support.
The General Hospital star doesn’t have cancer, and he’s not leaving the ABC soap any time soon. If you see the fake news on social media, report it and don’t spread it elsewhere.
