After leaving the show, he landed a role on The Young and the Restless. In 2017, he returned to General Hospital, but was let go from the show in 2021 for not complying with the vaccine mandate amidst the coronavirus pandemic.
“I did apply for my medical and religious exemptions, and both of those were denied,” Steve explained to fans in a video at the time. “Which, you know, hurts. But this is also about personal freedom to me. I don’t think anybody should lose their livelihood over this.” He also concluded his video with hope that he could return to the show one day. “That would be an honor,” he admitted. “And if not, I’m going to take this amazing experience, move forward and be forever grateful.” Related Link
