General Hospital's Steve Burton was fired from the veteran daytime soap last month, and there have been questions about what will happen to Jason Morgan ever since.
Burton's last on-screen appearance was on the November 19 episode, when a tunnel on Cassadine Island collapsed on Jason.
In this week's episodes, the characters have been mourning his loss, seemingly giving the show an easy way of writing out the actor ... for now.
Variety is reporting that the show has no intention of recasting the character of Jason, meaning that the character is gone.
Daytime soaps have a knack for bringing characters back with new faces, so maybe this storyline will be revisited down the line.
"I know there's been a lot of rumors and speculations about me and General Hospital and I wanted you to hear it from me personally," said Burton yesterday evening.
"Unfortunately, General Hospital has let me go because of the vaccine mandate.
