A Special Gift from the “General Hospital” Stars
This Christmas, Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson, beloved stars of General Hospital, gave their fans a delightful surprise that filled their hearts with holiday cheer. Known for their podcast Daily Drama, which typically drops new episodes every Wednesday, the duo made sure to break from tradition in the best way possible. Even though Christmas Day fell on a Wednesday this year, fans didn’t have to wait for their next episode. Burton and Anderson treated listeners to a special holiday episode that dropped on Christmas Day, full of nostalgia, laughter, and heartfelt memories.
A Holiday Tradition of Their Own
In the spirit of the season, Anderson kicked off the episode by announcing, “This is the Christmas episode,” while both stars sported festive jackets, clearly in the holiday spirit. Fans were delighted as the pair reflected on their own holiday traditions and shared behind-the-scenes stories. This wasn’t just any ordinary episode, though. As they reminisced about their time together on General Hospital, they delved into the heartwarming memories of the characters they portray: Jason Morgan (Burton) and Damian Spinelli (Anderson).
A Look Back at Holiday Memories on GH
After reflecting on the success of their holiday tour, the duo dove into a thoughtful conversation about their characters’ most memorable Christmas moments. Anderson kicked things off with an intriguing question for Burton: “What do you think has been our characters’ favorite holiday?” Burton’s response was filled with nostalgia, reminiscing about his time as Jason Quartermaine. He fondly recalled spending Christmas with the Quartermaine family, both as Jason and as Steve Burton. “We just had a blast,” he said, remembering the fun times, especially those spent with Sam (ex-Kelly Monaco).
Anderson then turned the spotlight on Spinelli, asking if there was a Christmas memory that stood out to him. “I think we spent some Christmases together,” he mused, recalling the time when Jason and Spinelli lived in their penthouse. But Anderson quickly noted that for Spinelli, it would be the years spent with Maxie (Kirsten Storms) and their growing family. “Maxie and Spinelli have a house full of kids now. I think for Spinelli, spending a holiday in that house with that family would be his favorite year,” Anderson remarked, envisioning how far Spinelli’s life had come.
The Magic of Family
The discussion took a heartfelt turn as Burton and Anderson reflected on the deep family ties their characters have developed over the years. “Family is everything,” Anderson said, adding that General Hospital‘s Christmas episodes have always been a celebration of that sense of togetherness and warmth. The duo’s discussion touched on how much General Hospital has become a part of viewers’ own holiday traditions, with many fans tuning in to see the characters they love celebrate the season with their onscreen families.

The two stars not only gave fans a gift in the form of a special Christmas episode, but they also reminded everyone of the power of family, traditions, and those special moments we hold dear.
As Burton and Anderson wrapped up their holiday special, they sent their love to their fans, inviting them to share their thoughts about Jason and Spinelli’s Christmas on General Hospital. “Have you enjoyed seeing our Christmas on GH this year?” they asked, making it clear that this festive spirit would continue well into the New Year.
