General Hospital’s Steve Burton has gone solo. Normally, he tours with his sidekick and podcast partner Bradford Anderson (Damian Spinelli) but recently has made a slew of appearances by himself. But in a recent event, he had a special guest star and gushed about it on social media.

Proud Pappa

On Instagram, Burton shared a video set to the song Feels This Good by Jon Mero and Lionis. The clip was a montage of Burton and his son Jack appearing at a couple of comedy clubs, including Zanies in Nashville, Tennessee, and the StarDome Comedy Club in Birmingham, Alabama. Thrilled to have his son appear with him, Burton wrote:

What a huge blessing this kid is. These last two shows I had, my son Jack opened for me. @stardomecomedy @zaniesnashville. He’s never been on stage. Ever. He did 5 mins which I’m sure seemed like forever. The biggest fear is public speaking for most and on top of it to get up and try to tell a joke or two. 😳

Burton then praised Jack for being able to push past his fears and get on the stage with:

It might be one of the toughest things to do. I just want to say how incredibly brave that is. I never would’ve done it at his age lol. I was ditching high school drama because I was afraid to do my monologue in front of people. He was bold and went for it and did an amazing job.
I’m so proud of him.

Burton’s girlfriend Michelle Lundstrom replied:

He was amazing! Love you guys ❤️❤️

The fans loved Jack

A fan, @domsgma2020, responded to Lundstrom’s comment with:

@themoneymichelle Thank you for being a part of putting a beautiful smile back on Steve’s face and being in his life!!! Many blessings to you both! 🙏❤️

The Young and the Restless star Michelle Stafford, who plays Phyllis Summers on the iconic show, wrote:

Adorable❤️

The fans were overwhelmingly happy to see Jack getting up and supporting his Dad and were suitably impressed, with many praising the young man. @dopey1943 enthusiastically wrote:

What a proud dad. Glad to see father and son as a team. Awesome ❤️

Another of Burton’s followers, @michelenibbi, was giddy with excitement and commented:

OMG!!! Your son looking like a young Jason Morgan!!! 😮Congrats to Jack. Not something I could do at his age. He is a brave man.

While Asher Antonyzyn, who plays Burton’s on-screen son, Danny Morgan, may look and act like Burton, Jack’s the real deal and could eventually start appearing in soap operas like The Bold and the Beautiful’s Crew Morrow, son of The Young and the Restless’ Joshua Morrow (Nick). Time will tell.

New episodes of General Hospital air weekdays on ABC and Hulu.
