Yeah, Kristina was a Sonny propping pill during most of this stint so I will not miss her.  Take her  air time and split it between Molly and Lucas.

Please, Jason only has one true love. 

[dubbel zout]

Sonny, of course.

No thanks.  I like these characters, I don't want them to be turned into Sonny propping pills.

Damn right! They didn't keep the Gummy Mob afloat for years with their illegal homemade gay porn from Canada just for money!

Yeah, that felt like an exit story to me, albeit a quick one.

So just how much money did they have to free up for Burton anyway?  And how could it possibly be worth it?

So far, Steve has cleared out 3 useless characters.   Demand more money, Steve!  Thin out the herd

Steve's eyes are scary in those pics.  5 years at Y&R did not do him well 

[MissL]

They need to add some wrinkles back into his face or something. His face is so smooth it's creepy.

That must be why we see Kevin tomorrow—it’s a birthday gift to JL.

And instead of listening to Laura talk about herself and her problems, he gets to listen to Griffin talk about himself and his problems! #sarcasm

[dubbel zout]

He also has to watch Lulu tell her mom somewhat halfheartedly to marry him because she might as well get her HEA. Because of course marriage is the only way to get that.

As always, poor Kevin.

William deVry Reports Back To Work At General Hospital!

[Oracle42]

Ugh.

[TeeVee329]

The show's getting rightfully dragged in the comments of this for their invisible gays and shipped-off lesbians:

[dubbel zout]

As usual, whoever runs this feed is utterly tone-deaf. I mean, the cause is just, but for a show that continually fails at diversity, promoting this is laughable. (Though I'm fine with Kristina and Parker being gone. That was a bad story badly told. There's no excuse for not seeing Felix and Brad and Lucas, however.)

[TeeVee329]

Rarely does Jamey Giddens take the words out of my mouth, but he nailed it in this tweet:

And we're finding out the gay couple is adopting off screen from a tertiary character. GH is the worst.

LMAO!

Also, his smile looks the least serial killer-y it ever has there.

What is even happening in this picture?

"Uh oh, we're getting dragged because the lack of screen time for our gay characters!"

That's Kelly's personal IG, I doubt TPTB talked her into it.

I think he's been seen with another woman. But it seems like KM wants to work with BM, I think, so she/they sporadically send out pictures.

I don't, normally, but this picture is somewhat intimate, so I wondered.

I wish I was a fly on the wall for the thought process of this photo. "So I'm gonna take off my shirt and you'll wear it and put part of it over my head...."

I'm kind of wondering, too, because KM has seemed really off this week. She's not exactly peppy normally, we all know that, but she seems really out of in these scenes. I've been wondering if she's upset that SBu is back, for whatever reason.

I think she is upset and is making it clear to whoever cares that she wants to continue working opposite Billy Miller. Burton was her longtime love interest and not a real word about his arrival from her. 

[Neptune]

[ulkis]

 

Doesn't Burton know he's not supposed to take his shirt off, but only almost off, and then really stretch the neckline out?

[dubbel zout]

Why didn't he shave his chest below his pecs?

BH looks the same today as she does in those pictures. The woman is a sorceress.

I really do like short hair on Becky.

There are certain  angles where her face looks more babyish and her eyebrows are fuller, but otherwise, yeah. 

[jsbt]

Please tell me these two grown men are not trying to compete with topless shots on social media.

I mean, I don't really think so at all but I do think Kelly Monaco would prefer to continue having fun with Miller, I do think Steve has an ego and I can probably count the amount of times Steve willingly took his shirt off on-camera in the last ten years.

[ulkis]

I think KM probably want to send out a "Killy" picture. BM probably took it cause she asked him to. Then Steve responded lol. So it's more KM and SB competing over who knows what.

KM didn't welcome SB back on twitter, has been tweeting pictures of herself and BM and then said in the interview that she was "excited to work with all the cast" when someone asked her if she was glad to work with Steve again. The thing is, I can't help but wonder if BM would prefer to play some major angst for his character and Sam. I'm sure ultimately he doesn't give a shit but he'd probably prefer it if they gave him something to do.

[WendyCR72]

Backstage sounds juicier than what's on screen! Air all the insecurity, jealousy, and such from there instead! Bet the ratings would improve by a lot.

[jsbt]

I would not be surprised if Kelly went to ground to lobby for "Drew" and Sam. But there is no way that is going to happen IMO, unless Steve comes back with a raging boner for the Elizabeth pairing or something again. Which I doubt. Steve wants an easy ride, security and a lot of money, everything else is secondary. Jasam was always the definition of easy ride.

I don't know if FV is delusional enough to try to keep both Miller and Burton - he attempted it once before with the Two Todds at OLTL, but Trevor St. John had been there eight years and had a substantial fanbase of his own, plus his "Todd" turned out to be a blood relation (also St. John left and scuttled it, as he was allegedly incensed with FV). Billy Miller is a reasonably popular soap star but he's only been there a couple years and everything he has at GH (including the pairing with KM) he got from the preexisting Jason mantle. If FV were to try to redo his Two Todds gamble and keep both soap stars it would have been wiser to make Miller A.J., who also has viewer popularity baked in, instead of some rando. Or is Drew Jason's latest twin? Whatever. Either way I don't think Miller is long for the show, though FV may cling to him with ragged fingernails.

Edited October 22, 2017 by jsbt

[ulkis]

Yes, Drew is Jason's latest twin, although there are rumors that

Steve is really "Drew", but when AJ and Jason were in the car accident, someone switched Jason out for Drew, and Burton/Jason Morgan was the Drew twin all along.

Yeah.

I think BM will stick around for another 6 months at the very least . . . his contract was up for renewal in September, so if he were going to leave he probably would have done it already.

[jsbt]

There is no chance Steve Burton will come back to this show and settle for playing the new twin or not the 'real' Jason, IMO. Zero. Hopeful fans tried this same theory with Roger Howarth at OLTL but it was clear from the jump he was going to be Todd, months before he reappeared. They telegraphed it with a pretty clever tease from Ron Carlivati re: a painting with a specific time/date context, then hammered it in by having ABC re-air a classic episode from the 90s with Howarth's Todd pertaining to the same painting.

Miller may stay on for the length of the fallout but beyond that, I don't see him lasting a year unless someone at the show makes him A.J. or something, or they offer Miller a dump truck of gold. Which they don't have with Steve back.

Mind you, Frank and Ron did intend to string out the "who is the real Todd?" story at OLTL much longer than they did - TSJ left so that ended it prematurely for them. But GH could play "Who's the real Jason" for a year, I suppose. I still don't think the answer would change.

I think it will fall to SB's wishes. I think that he was bored senseless at the end of his Jason days. And he had been for awhile. I also don't think he was crazy about JaSam either. I think that if SB wants to have that fresh new character, without the baggage of Jason Morgan, he can do it. And the show will go with it. Old faced Jason can be Drew, a man with no known past. Just that he was presumably abducted and perhaps brainwashed to have his twin's memories. Let him have all those confusing feeling for "his" loved ones. Let him decode what he wants to do. Be a goon for Sonny/Julian/Nik/Valentin/whoever or whatever he wants. Leave the boring family stuff to BM. 

Or even if he is the real Jason, let him decide to be Drew. Let the other guy raise the family to keep them away from the violence.  Which was the explicit reason why Jason walked away from Jake and Liz in the first place. Let him look and see how Jake being kidnapped by Helena for years was because Jason was his father. And just say I can't stay away from danger, but I can keep Jake and the kids safer by not being Jason. Maybe Jason2.0 knows the truth or perhaps keep him in the dark. Let him believe that he is real Jason and no question it. Sonny won't care, he'll have his tru wuv(or at least the guy that looks like his tru wuv) back.
