Speaking to Soap Opera Digest, Steve – who now plays Jason Morgan on General Hospital – admits that while everything was great in the beginning, the show’s scheduling demands began to take a toll on him. Also, he says that Dylan’s storyline became a challenge for not only him, but the writers and the soap’s production crew.

He explained, “With Y&R, they were very generous with the schedule when I first started. They were awesome to work around my schedule, which doesn’t happen often, so I was super-grateful, but production needs to tell a story and when you’re working around a guy, or you can’t work him a certain day, it becomes a thorn in the side of people.”
