Steve Burton 

Steve Burton is officially out at GH as Jason Morgan as SoapsSpoilers mentioned a few weeks ago. His last airdate was November 19, after Jason was presumed dead in the cave in in Greece. The actor confirmed he elected to leave the show because he refused to be vaccinated. “I did apply for my religious and medical exemptions and both of those were denied,” he says. He goes on to say, “It hurts but this is also about personal freedom to me. I don’t think anybody should lose their livelihoods over this but with that being said, you know me, I’ll always be grateful for my time at General Hospital.” Watch the rest of the video below, which is from the actor’s Instagram page.

Ingo Rademacher

Social media has been going wild this past week, discussing who is leaving the show due to GH’s new vaccination mandate, and finally, confirmation has come in. Ingo Rademacher is definitely exiting General Hospital as Jasper “Jax” Jacks. His last airdate is November 22. The actor did not approve of GH’s vaccination mandate and refused to be vaccinated. His social media pages reflected those ideals. The actor stated, “I will stand with you to fight for medical freedom,” on his Instagram page, and in an Instagram Story, wrote, “If we don’t send a strong message to the Biden Administration to reverse course immediately where do you think this ends guys? With Booster No. 25? Nope. Vaccine passports and more segregation is on its way right now. Wakey Wakey.” This morning, the actor also posted an Instagram Story from Governor DeSantis, stating that he didn’t feel people should be losing their jobs over their vaccination status.

For those keeping track, there is also word that Steve Burton may be out as Jason Morgan. Currently, SoapsSpoilers has not heard back from our contacts to confirm.

Fellow co-star Nancy Lee Grahn posted on Twitter to confirm. “The fellow actor, #IngoRademacher, is mercifully no longer a part of the #gh cast. Transphobia & misgendering are disgusting & should be unacceptable in any industry, including soaps/acting. I stand with my costar, @cassandrajames, & the trans community.”
