We have an exciting update on General Hospital star John J. York, aka Mac Scorpio, that will lighten your mood! Our beloved actor appeared on the latest episode of The Daily Drama podcast, hosted by GH stars Steve Burton (Jason) and Bradford Anderson (Spinelli). The three men were engrossed in some heartwarming and inspiring talk. John even dished out his personal battles, his career, and a BIG surprise announcement! What could it be?

York Takes on a Fresh Role

The General Hospital star first took listeners on an emotional journey, revealing his fight with cancer. He battled not just one but two types of cancer—myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and smoldering multiple myeloma. Finally, a blood stem cell transplant saved his life. Moreover, the GH star gave a glimpse into his new job!

Yep, John has snagged a meaningful role as a partner with the National Marrow Donor Program. It was formerly known as Be The Match. He’s now working to raise awareness and support for bone marrow and blood stem cell transplant donors and patients. And guess what? York will share more updates about this on social media soon!

GH/ York battled and survived not just one but two types of cancer!

So, keep an eye on X/Twitter for his posts. Meanwhile, John took fans by surprise by dropping some fun bits of trivia. It turned out that the portrayer of Mac Scorpio actually auditioned for the role of Bo Brady on DAYS in 1983. It’s funny how this all took place way before he set foot in Port Charles. He flew in from Chicago to try his luck in California.

“I remember stepping off the plane from Chicago into California on February 1st, 1983,” York shared. Then, a few months later, in May, he tried his luck, but the role didn’t go his way. It is because fate had something much bigger in store for him, including meeting Vicki and getting married in 1986! So filmy, right?

Additionally, by 1991, John was hustling as a waiter at The Cheesecake Factory when destiny came knocking. He spotted Lyn Herring (Lucy Coe) and Wayne North, two actors from GH, at the restaurant. A few weeks later, York got the call of a lifetime—the ABC soap was casting a major role. The rest is history! Thirty-three years later, York’s not only on GH but also a witty, proud granddad of four.

In true York fashion, he joked how he used to be young and handsome and now reduced to “just handsome.” Keep checking out Soap Opera Daily to stay abreast with exclusive tea on General Hospital celebs. Please watch the episode because it’s packed with laughs, touching moments, and some seriously good vibes!
