It’s official guys, the soap star Steve Burton is no longer with Days of our Lives, and with this news blowing up, fans can’t help but wonder about his possible return to Young And the Restless.
Steve Burton exits Days of Our Lives as 2024 starts
The first time the daytime world met Steve Burton, the super talented soap star was when he made his debut as Harris Michaels in Days of Our Lives back in 1988. Fast forward to 1991, Burton rocked the soap world by portraying the role of Jason Quatermaine, aka Jason Morgan, on General Hospital. From that moment on, he became the face of the show, delivering some iconic moments alongside Carly Spencer and Sonny Corinthos.
Remember when Sonny returned from the dead only to walk in on Jason and Carly sharing a steamy kiss on their wedding night. It was a soap drama at its finest! It’s no wonder Burton is famously recognized for his role as Jason in General Hospital.
But then in 2012, out of the blue, Burton decided to shake things up a bit. He made his exit from General Hospital and set his sights on The Young and the Restless, landing the role of Dylan McAvoy in 2013. As a military vet with surprising connections to long-time characters, Burton was a fresh energy that the Y&R fans needed. And who can forget the time when it was revealed that Dylan was actually the long-lost son of Nikki Newman and Paul Williams. I mean, it definitely added some extra layers to the storyline. And with his romance with Sharon Newman, Burton was making his mark.

However, just as fans were getting hooked on Burton’s Y&R stint, his run came to an unexpected halt after four years. Burton dropped the announcement of his exit, leaving fans scratching their heads about what would come next. And what came next was a return to General Hospital. But then in November 2021, Burton got fired due to his refusal to comply with the production’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
But his daytime journey wasn’t over yet. In April 2022, Burton again joined the cast of Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem in his former role as Harris Michaels, bringing things full circle. And just when the fans were falling in love with his character all over again, the actor dropped another shocking announcement. On 3rd January 2024, Burton announced his departure from Days as well.

In a heartfelt video posted on the Daily Drama YouTube channel, Burton said, “Well, I just shot my final scenes here at Days of Our Lives and I just want to say thank you so much to the cast and to the crew, to Days, to everybody. It’s been amazing. I can’t believe it’s been a year already. So thank you so much. To the fans, I’m always so full of gratitude. So thank you. Stay tuned.”
As Burton bids goodbye to Days of Our Lives, fans are left eagerly anticipating the next chapter in his soap opera journey. Amidst this shake-up, we can’t really skip the idea that he might come back to Y&R because if you think about it, Y&R is bringing back some old characters. So maybe there will be a storyline for Dylan Mcvoy as well. After all, he did leave things incomplete when he left Genoa City seven years ago.
As for Days fans, there’s some good news too. Although Steve bids goodbye to the show, you’ll still get to see his character on screen till spring of 2024. So till then, stay tuned for more information about his return to Y&R. What do you guys think? Will Burton come back to Y&R? Let us know in the comments below.
