When Steve Burton made his triumphant return to General Hospital, fans were buzzing with excitement. The storyline took a dramatic turn when it was revealed that Billy Miller, who had been playing Jason Morgan for years, was actually his twin brother, Andrew Cain. This revelation sent shockwaves through the soap opera world, sparking heated debates among fans. Many were thrilled to see Steve back in the role of Jason, but others felt betrayed by the twist. Meanwhile, Kelly Monaco’s character, Sam, found herself caught in the middle of this whirlwind, with fans criticizing her on social media for not immediately dumping Drew to reunite with Jason. However, Steve stepped in to address the growing tension and asked his fans to show some kindness.
“Please stop,” Steve tweeted, urging fans to ease up. “There’s no ill will between Kelly or Billy. We’re all part of a team, working together to tell a story. We’re delivering the narrative we’ve been given. No hate. No fan wars. We’re one family.” His heartfelt message reminded everyone that the actors are just doing their jobs and that they’re all on the same side.
Sam can’t have both men, but viewers sure can enjoy the drama!

The Battle of the Fans Heats Up
As the storyline unfolded, some fans took their passion too far, crossing the line from constructive feedback about the characters to personal attacks on the actors themselves. This tension flared up when Steve returned to General Hospital, and Billy reportedly signed a new contract with the show. As the reveal of who the real Jason Morgan was set to air at the end of November, fans flooded social media with their opinions. Unfortunately, this enthusiasm sometimes turned ugly, with hurtful comments being hurled at the actors.
Kelly Monaco Steps In to Promote Kindness
Since Billy Miller doesn’t have any social media accounts, Kelly Monaco stepped in to address the situation alongside him. She posted a heartfelt message on her Instagram, reminding fans to respect their coworkers. “Hey GH fans,” she wrote, “#Killy appreciates any love but never bullying. We respect our coworkers. Please do the same.” To emphasize her point, she included the hashtags “#ChooseKindness” and “#KillyWithKindness.”
A Joint Message for the Fans
Kelly and Billy didn’t stop there. They also shared a sweet animation on Twitter, reiterating their plea for kindness. “Hey GH fans,” Kelly wrote, “maybe you didn’t hear us. We #ChooseKindness. Billy Miller and I appreciate any support, but not at the expense of our co-stars. Let’s all play nice.” Their message was clear: the soap opera community thrives when everyone works together harmoniously.
