It looks like the ABC soap opera General Hospital will be bringing back some veteran stars who haven’t been seen on the iconic daytime soap in a couple of months. They’ll be back just in time for the 16,000th episode.
Both Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) and Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) were seen on set just as the show was taping the landmark episode.
Are Steve Burton and Finola Hughes going to be in ‘General Hospital’s 16,000th episode
Yes, it appears both stars have taped and have at least been recording for the show. Because they are recording at this time, it only makes sense that the longtime General Hospital actors would have a part in the major series milestone.
