Steve Burton makes a shocking statement about Ingo Rademacher’s lawsuit against General Hospital.
There is a new report that suggests there’s some pretty strong evidence in Ingo Rademacher’s case against the ABC network after he was fired from General Hospital back in 2021.
Steve Burton Wants Nothing To Do With Ingo Rademacher’s Case Against General Hospital
However, it appears as though Steve Burton’s name is being dragged into this even though he wants absolutely nothing to do with the case.
As many of our readers can recall, Ingo was let go from the soap back in 2021 after he failed to comply with the network’s mandatory vaccination requirement at the time. His co-star Steve Burton was also let go for the same reason but he was also rehired by the network.
Burton’s lawyer claimed, “ABC’s re-hiring of Mr. Burton undermines its argument that Ingo’s political beliefs did not play any role in its decision to fire him — to ‘recast’ his role — in 2021.”
“Judge Goorvitch credited ABC’s evidence that the political animus that the General Hospital producers showed toward Ingo was irrelevant because, like other people, including GH actor Steve Burton, it simply could not accommodate Ingo’s objection to COVID-19 vaccination and fired him only for that reason.”

“That argument was always specious. But it carries even less weight now, given the newly discovered evidence that ABC re-hired [Steve] for General Hospital but did not re-hire Ingo.”
“This new evidence is compelling. It undermines ABC’s argument that the political animus the GH producers showed toward Ingo did not matter. It confirms Ingo’s argument that ABC intended to get rid of him — to recast his character — which preceded the Covid vaccination policy.”
That said, it seems as though Steve Burton is trying to distance himself from this mess as he doesn’t want to upset his bosses at ABC. After all, he does have a steady paycheck coming in to help pay his bills.
