Is Jason Leaving General Hospital?

I heard that yesterday on the closing previews about his "final Farewell". That sucks!!! I like him! He looks like my son!!! But he is the only 'strong" character on there! He kind of carries the show...without him it is not going to be good! I have a feeling I won't be watching much when he leaves! At the moment I don't like ANY of the storylines and dont' have a favorite other than Jason! And for them to not put them two back together...after all this..that sucks too! I hope they do at least just send him off somewhere and not kill him off. I hope Steve comes back! Anyone know what he is going to be doing? Rumor while back was he is moving to Tennessee...but didn't say why. I think his leaving will really put a damper on the show and cancellation might be in GH's future.

I will miss Steve Burton on screen. I hope that they don't kill the character. I would rather have a replacement in case Steve decides to come back one day.
