After joining The Young and the Restless in 2013, Steve Burton took to social media tonight to announce his departure from the soap.
Burton created the role of Dylan McAvoy after spending more than two decades as Jason (Quartermaine) Morgan on General Hospital. Burton left the iconic role in 2012 when the character was presumed dead.
He soon made his Genoa City debut as the long-lost son of Paul Williams (Doug Davidson) and Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott).

The actor plans to depart the role in December, according to his tweets.
