"I've re-signed for a year, and I'm very happy," Burton told CBS Soaps In Depth.
In August 2012, citing a need for a break from the daily grind of producing a soap and a desire to spend more time with his Nashville-based family, Burton announced his exit from General Hospital. A few months later, CBS confirmed Burton's addition to The Young and the Restless with a splashy confetti-filled appearance on The Talk.
