Here is what Steve Burton said in his Instagram Video about him leaving General hospital
Hey
What’s going on guys
aaaaa…..
Well I know there’s been a lot of rumors and speculations about Me & General Hospital
And I wanted you to hear it from me personally
aaa….
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
I don’t think anybody should lose their livelihood over this
But with that being said
You know me I will always be grateful for my time at General Hospital
I love it there, I grow up there
I grow up with some of you
So I will always be grateful & I believe that
When one door closes multiple doors open
That’s always been my perspective
So I am excited to see what the future brings
And may be one day if these mandates are lifted I can return and finish my career as Jason Morgan
That would be an honor and if not I am gonna take this amazing experience move forward and be forever grateful for your love & your support over the years that means so much to me
So Thank You
I don’t know when my last air date is
It may have aired or it might be tomorrow or the next day I am not sure
But I want you guys to have an awesome Thanksgiving
I know its hard may be in this type of situation to be thankful or grateful
But we have so many things to be thankful about and being grateful
Really is the key
Love you guys
Thank you!
