Scott Reeves brings back Steve Webber in General Hospital after 11 years

Steve Webber, the beloved character from General Hospital played by Scott Reeves, is set to return home after serving over a decade in prison.

In a recent interview with TV Insider, Reeves reflected on the emotional experience of stepping back onto the set.

"It felt like a homecoming," he described. "I arrived on the first day early in the morning, and it was surreal driving up to Prospect Studios and going through the guard gate. From the moment I entered, I couldn’t help but think, 'Wasn’t it just a week ago that I left?'"

Reeves character Webber had been locked up for 11 years after his truth came to light that he took the life of a comatose young man—who was serving a life sentence for murder—to save a 14-year-old girl in need of a life-saving transplant.

"Steve did his time and has been out for a few months now, living in Sedona, Arizona, trying to start anew," Reeves offered insights into Webber’s life post-prison. "He lost his medical license when he went to prison, but he feels justified in his actions."

Notably, Webber was first introduced as a baby in 1977, the grandson of one of General Hospital’s original characters, Steve Hardy. 

After a long absence from the show, the character was revived by Shaun Benson in 2004, with Reeves taking over from 2009 to 2013.
