'General Hospital' Celebrates 25 Years of Maurice Benard as Sonny Corinthos

"You make it fun for me, coming to work," an emotional Benard told the GH cast and crew, who were decked out in anniversary t-shirts.

Added co-star Laura Wright, "Maurice has given his heart and soul, and shown so much of show he is through the character of Sonny. So this is truly his family."

"He's just such a mentor to everybody," enthuses co-star Steve Burton (Jason), "because of his work ethic, and his professionalism, and how much he gives to other actors."

Steve Burton on His Return to 'General Hospital': "I'm There Long-Term"

Emmy winner Steve Burton is returning to ABC soap opera General Hospital on Tuesday, September 19. The length of his stay has not been revealed, but the actors tells Soap Opera Digest that his return (as Jason Morgan or someone else) is not a short-term visit.

"I'm there long-term," Burton says. "This is not stunt casting, for me to be there for a month and leave. At all."

Burton also shared his feelings about returning to show he called home for many years.

"The emotional attachment I have to the show, to the people, to the crew, to everyone there, was obviously a gigantic part of my decision-making," he notes. "Now, I’m like, 'Man, I am so blessed just to be able to go back to a show that I grew up on. And hopefully finish there.' It's kind of like the circle of life in a weird way."

'General Hospital' EP Frank Valentini Teases, "Who's the Real Jason?"

Two years after Emmy winner Steve Burton left General Hospital in 2012, former The Young and the Restless Emmy winner Billy Miller took over the role of Jason Morgan (first known as Jake Doe), whose appearance was altered by post-car crash facial surgeries.

The iconic ABC soap opera announced in June that Burton would be returning, but would not confirm what role he would be playing.

"Jason's life affects, like, 30 people on the show. There is almost nobody who won't be affected by his return," Valentini told TVLine at ABC’s summer TCA party. "That whole paradigm — 'Who's the real Jason? How will people react to him?' — I find to be very interesting, and it will be fun for the audience.”

Valentini reveals that no fan's online guesses about the story have been correct so far.

"They think we’re making it up as we go along, when it’s all been laid out," he says.

"We're really excited to work with Steve, because he's a really important part of the show," Valentini adds.

Burton has teased that he will be back on GH for "a while" — while Valentini says that the effects of the encore will be felt "for probably about nine months, before we settle into the next big thing."
