About this Article

There's heartbreak ahead for some "General Hospital" fans. Steve Burton, who played Jason Morgan on the ABC soap opera for nearly 21 years, is joining the cast of "The Young and the Restless." His first episode is slated to air Jan. 29. "It is a little nerve-racking because I don't really know who the character is. The cool thing is I know a lot of people who are there already. The soap world is a small world," he said.
