General Hospital: Steve Burton Shares Shocking Career News

Steve Burton, who plays the role Jason Morgan on “General Hospital,” announced that he will no longer voice over the character of Cloud Strife in Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII, a job he has held for the past 17 years.

The latest remake will no longer feature Burton as he will be replaced by Cody Christian.

Burton announced the news on Twitter and expressed his gratitude for giving him the opportunity to be a part of the role playing video game series. “There’s been some talk out there that I’m no longer voicing Cloud Strife and that is correct,” Burton said. “Man! Seventeen years! Seventeen years! What a run it’s been, but first I just gotta say how grateful I am to even have had the opportunity to voice such a legendary character.”

He explained that being a part of this project has been a life-changing experience. He added that he was thrilled to have been given a chance to work with other talented voice over actors.

He thanked his fans and said that they’ve all been amazing. Apart from that, he said, “Over the 17 years I’ve done it, you’ve shown nothing but love and support…I can’t tell you how much that means to me.”

It has been revealed as well that Burton’s departure isn’t the only change that is happening on this remake. The alterations aim to freshen up the series as it moves forward.

For Burton, he doesn’t harbor any ill feelings as he exits the series. He understands that change eventually happens and all he can do is roll with them.

“Things happen. Doors close. Other doors open. This is a door opening for a new cast of final fantasy. I’m sure they’re gonna be incredible. I know Cody Christian’s gonna give it everything he’s got, so I wish him the best.”

Meanwhile, Christian took the time to thank Burton for making the character to what it is now.

He vowed to do his best so as not to let Burton down. The latter immediately replied and said, “You already sound great and I have no doubt you will do an amazing job.”
