He stayed three years on the CBS sudser and is now back on GH as Jason Morgan. Chances that he would return to the role are slim to none at this time. But enough time has passed that a recast would not be very jarring, if at all, for fans.
In reality, Steve’s run as Dylan was met with some mixed reactions by fans. Some just couldn’t see him in a role other than Jason Morgan, and for others, Dylan was an underdeveloped character. In fact, Steve recently said in an interview with Soap Opera Digest that during his time as Dylan he got plenty of negative messages on his social media.
In the end, Dylan remains a viable character, now more than ever. Here are five reasons why Dylan should be recast.

Before he left Dylan and Sharon enjoyed a relationship, although it was not without its ups and downs.

#5 Dylan McAvoy Should Return To Fill Everyone In On What He’s Been Up To.
