Charles Shaughnessy Wraps His GH Run and Shares, “It Was an Absolute Pleasure to Terrorize the Good People of PC for the Last 18 Months”
Monday’s episode of General Hospital brought with it the demise of another Cassadine.
While fans were on the edge of their seats on just whose body was recovered from the drone strikes and explosion on the Haunted Star, when all was said and done, it turned out to be Victor. That means daytime favorite, Charles Shaughnessy, has wrapped his run on General Hospital.

Taking to Twitter to respond to fans praise of his performances, Charles expressed: “Thank you! It was an absolute pleasure to terrorize the good people of PC for the last 18 months. I will miss the extraordinary cast and crew as well as you, the fans. Let’s hope it’s “au revoir”!”
Is it till we meet again as many a Cassadine have sprung back to life? Time will tell. For now, Victor had to get his comeuppance and join Helena and Mikkos, in hell.
But with Victor gone from the family, is it just a matter of time till we see a fully-functioning and resuscitated, Nikolas? Stay tuned.
Shaughnessy first aired as Victor in September of 2021, replacing DAYS Thaao Penghlis (Tony DiMera) who previously took on the role.

Charles you were an awesome, evil Cassadine! I will miss you! You sure looked dead to me but no one is ever really dead on General Hospital!
Charles was an awesome actor he played Victor Cassadine Well ♥️☺️
I’m going to miss Charles he brought alot of action to the show and that’s what made it a good show I started watching General hospital in 1986 and kept with it for the action keep up the good work gh
I agree I’ve watch General Hospital for many many many years and I’ve watched a lot of the soap operas. But there’s nothing compares to the action on General Hospital. The others got so boring and they were running back and forth to the same people over and over and over. That’s why I quit watching them. General Hospital‘s great it’s here to stay.
I dint like him glad he’s off
The hatred is real
Curious…what didn’t you like about his character? Or is it just him you don’t care for? If you have never seen him on the Nanny..check him out. He has a great sense of humor.
I loved him on the Nanny
Right….he was A-mazing!!!!!
I honestly expected him to open his eyes
Me too
Give it 6 months or so he was to diabolical not to come back.
Me too!
Me too! Or sit up straight.
I know
So did I, I was waiting on them to open
You played the part perfectly! I can almost hear your British accent -“Absolute pleasure terrorizing Port Charles”, lol. The best way to follow you – bring Nicholas back!! I’m talking about the ORIGINAL Nicholas – Tyler Christopher!!
I agree really loved him
I agree, I’d love to see the original Nicholas back too.
Yes I agree, bring back the original Nicolas
Yes!!
I agree
Not dead!
Going to miss him ,he played the best evil cassadine,loved his character
I agree. Amazingly Attractive n Amazingly
Evil. You truly made Victor Cassadine Charming n Deadly to his enemies. Who knows? You may make Another Dramatic Entrance with a Vengeance upon the Good People of Port Charles….Once Again!
Charles you will be so missed. Enjoyed your Victor actng very much.
So far Nelle Brando Nathan West and Kiki have remained dead as well as Morgan and Jason.
His role made the show. Tired of Carly and Sonny back and forth. The whole Willo dying has drained the show. What will they have in mind now that he’s gone?
I absolutely love him. Wish he would reprise his role in the Nanny. Loved that show & Charles.
I didn’t like him an also liked him at the same time.
Welcome to Hell, Victor!
Mikkos, Helena, and Stavros will all be happy to see you.
You were wonderful on GH. Took awhile to see you as evil! Such charm and wit embued in your character! Loved every minute!
You will greatly missed!!
Like Nora, it was hard to think of you as evil!! Loved you in the Nanny! ❤️
I agree, it was hard to see you as Evil at first. I loved the Nanny too. I really loved you as the Sweet Shane Donovan on Days of our Lives. I hope you come back as a Sweet Guy instead of playing a Evil Guy. It just doesn’t seem like you being Evil after watching the “Nanny” and “Days of Our Lives”. I will miss seeing you on TV.
Agreed…..
So…true Satan!!!
Even though victor was a meanie I will miss him as an actor . Superb job my brother you will be missed on the show
Now to get rid of Gladys. She is evil and I hate her. Look what she has done to Sasha!
Sandra,
It dhouldnt be too long now, she’s slowly hanging herself. I just hate seeing how hurt and betrayed Sasha will feel.
Charles Shaughnessy was absolutely magnificent as the Evil Victor Cassadine. He was a Joy to hate; now That’s what I call a job well done.
Absolutely! Wonderful job…
He was truly a great actor and will be missed well maybe. Who will we hate now oh Nina lol
There are alot of people who love Nina & Sonny together as well as hate Carly & Sonny together.
Sonny is the happiest I can remember since I’ve been watching. In soap opera world it probably wont last, but I cannot abide Carly & wish her nothing but despair & misery…what a horrible skanky woman. She can do the most awful terrible things without any repercussions & 5 minutes later everyone forgets or start making excuses for her. Oh and Willow must hold the record for a person who is dying “holding on!” Give me a break die already!
I agree, Carly gets by with everything and poor Nina can never catch a break. Carly should have told Nina right away that Willow was her daughter. Then there was Nelle Benson, Nina’s other daughter and Carly was the last one to see her alive. Nina did call Carly from the diner where Sonny worked as Mike to tell her that he was alive but Carly jumped down Nina throat about visitation with Wiley and that’s why Nina didn’t tell Carly that Sonny was alive. I enjoyed seeing the romance develop between Nina and Mike (Sonny).
I can’t stand Carly all the s**t she’s done everyone forgot about. Ok Nina messed up a few times but doesn’t hold a candle to carly.and we all no Nicholas is not dead he’ll be back.
And this willow thing has dragged out to long .just kill her off already lets us cry . Move on
And brook Lynn and chase what’s up with that?bang her out and get it over with or MOVEON
No kidding, Willow needs to die already and stop dragging it out.
Charles Shaughnessy played his role as Victor Cassadine superbly.
His evilness was sometimes mixed with kindness. He is a great actor and I enjoyed watching him develop his character.
Absolutely! When I first saw him on GH I kept thinking that I knew his face and accent from somewhere but couldn’t place him until it dawned on me who he was! We love u, Charles! Hope you ‘re-appear’ in the near future! Ha!
I am not surprised you were great on Days of Our Lives and The Nanny. I enjoy your acting. Job well done as always
I loved you in the Nanny, I loved you on Days too. I have to say not as a bad actor. I think you did a great job, but not use to you being a bad guy.
Good job Mr Sheffield! You finally convinced me you were a mad man out to save the world!
Great line last week when Victor’s henchman said there was a problem with Ace’s nanny and Victor said “to hell with the Nanny”. Clever.
I’ll miss Shaughnessy’s interaction with Gati. The two were fun to watch together.
So true, so great with Liesl, I loved how they played off each other. And I didn’t get that Nanny line before now — hahaha! Thank you!
I didn’t put two and two together about the “Nanny” til just now! Lol
OG Steve,
How about Spencer referring to “the Nanny from hell?” I’m with the others that didn’t catch that other Nanny line.
Charles Shaughnessy was absolutely magnificent as the Evil Victor Cassadine, a true pleasure to hate. Now That’s your I call a job well done.
I will miss the evil Victor. He played the role absolutely perfectly. Sorry to say goodbye…for now?
You played the character so well. I will miss seeing you
Even though he reek avoke on GH it was a good part because he played Shane Donovan on days and the Maxwell Sheffield on the Nanny he was too good.
Shaughnessy /Victior was not a dark feared villain, he was simply a bad guy—
When it comes to the Cassadines of the past Viitor was a cream puff..
Absolutely no Shaughnessy fault…
The GH writers failed, as usual, to write gripping suspenseful drama..
The way Vicitor was written I could have taken him out.
It was very strange seeing you play such an evil character at first, but you certainly did a magnificent job!!!! I’ll miss you
Good now he can return to Days of our lives where he belongs
Mr. Shaughnessy, you were an absolute delight as Victor the Terrible. Thank you so much!! Loved every minute of your tenure on GH. Blessings!
Kay Robinson
Loved you on the Nanny but even More as Victor best wishes for you in the future!
I like u better on the Nanny Mr Sheffield, but u did a excellent job, pissing me off!
Charles I have watched you in the Nanny for years and loved you then and love you now! You are an amazing Actor and I’ll still be looking for you on Gh but hopefully I get to see you in something else! Take care and stay safe will miss you ! Love your facial features and accent. ,!!!
He was so good as Victor. He will be very much missed, he did elevate any scene he was in.
I enjoyed seeing you in this role
You were my favorite actor…u will be missed!
Now a new villain can go from GH to another Soap would be awesome.
Now another villain can be let loose after GH to possibly go to another Soap that would be awesome.
It was a pleasure to experience your outstanding talent as an actor. I never watched your previous famous show in which you were the popular young noble hero.
I hope to enjoy your talent in the future at GH or even in PRIMETIME!
Nancy Pickering
I loved to hate your character. You are a very gifted actor. I knew you were familiar to me. You were my fav actor in the Nanny forms decades ago. Good luck. You will be missed!
Sir, You were simply Awesome! Thank you for the memories.
A great day! He’s gone for now!
So enjoyed watching you on GH…your acting as a villain was awesome
I will miss your great acting and your Good Looks!!! Hope you come back as a wicked ghost of yourself
Popular noble hero Shane Donovan from Days of our Lives! I so enjoyed Charles Shaughnessy as evil Victor Cassadine!
SUPERB! BRAVO!
Great job with the Cassadine role! You rocked it! You played a nasty narcissistic psychopath — keeping people captive for years, pushing people out of planes and off bridges, and even infecting your own son with a pathogen! You naughty boy! Also saw you play a king in a Hallmark movie — love when you play nice, too! Good luck with your next role!
You did an awesome job playing an evil cassidine, I hope you go on to bigger better things
Waiting for your twin brother to show up!
Great job you played that part .Mr.shefield lol
Charles you did a fantastic job portraying the evil Victor C. Loved how charming you could be just before ordering a murder in true Cassadine style. Thank you for the wonderful acting.
Victor you were so charming! I lived your impeccable lifestyle for the most part. I was hoping you would be arrested and put in prison with Laura’s evil brother! Now that would be a new storyline! I will miss you!
Great job playing Victor! You really gave GH that sinister touch it needed to keep viewers at the edge of their seats. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors.
He was a wonderful villain.
I remember him as Shane Donovan on Days.
Hopefully he’s on his way back to Salem now. Given the taping schedule at Days (6 months ahead, last I heard) it might be a while before he’s back on screen. But his son Andrew has been seen recently, following in Shane’s spy footsteps. And as long as Steve Burton is on Days, they would have a good reason to bring back Shane’s oldest daughter, Eve Donovan (original version only, for the love of all that’s unholy!). And his wife, Kimberly Brady Donovan has been mentioned often in recent storylines, though not actually seen on screen. So it’s not out… Read more »
Mr Sheffield I loved, Victor I loathed. Great acting Charles. Reveal Dex’s parentage please
Spell check GO NOT HO
Come back to DAYS! ShNe’s son needs him
Was a great ride to watch your evil Victor scour his wrath around Port Charles. Particularly, your nasty banter with the old Nicholas and Laura. Maybe we’ll see you again, haunting the town from the depths of hell.
Charles, thank you for an enthusing awesome performance. You did a magnificent job!
Fantastic believable performance as Victor Cassadine !
He will be missed. I just love the way he talk. Lol He is a great actor.
Charles, I have loved watching your career over the years. I have to admit Victor might have been my least favorite. However from Kings to evil manipulators, you can do it all. You will be missed
Farewell, victor it was about time you get your pay back what you did to people, especially what you try to do to your bown flesh and blood.
Emmy!!!!
Fantastic performance from a fabulous actor! I have always enjoyed you, and love the swag that you brought to the character of Victor. You will be much missed, Sir! Well done!
Good Luck in whatever you choose to do next. You’re acting is superb and will be missed.
Bye bye

DAYS and GH Alum Tyler Christopher Arrested for Public Intoxication
Daytime Emmy-winner, Tyler Christopher (ex-Nikolas, GH; ex-Stefan, DAYS) was arrested for public intoxication at the Burbank, California airport, this past Friday, on May 26th.
According to the Burbank PD and reports obtained by TMZ, Tyler was arrested after they found him asleep and on the ground at the American Airlines terminal. The officers noted that Tyler displayed clear and objective signs of drinking. They also reveal he was unable to care of himself.
Christopher, who remains a fan favorite as the former Nikolas Cassadine on GH and Stefan DiMera on DAYS has opened up and discussed his battle with alcoholism in the past. Last year, he appeared on former GH co-star Maurice Benard’s You Tube series, State of Mind.

Tyler was released from police custody following his airport arrest, cited, and will need to appear in court at a later date.
Back in 2019, the popular actor was cited for two counts of misdemeanor public intoxication and landed in jail for two days, following an arrest in Indiana.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Who Will Turn Out to be Trina’s Biological Father … Curtis or Taggert?
This week’s episodes of General Hospital are set to deliver some needed results and some bombshells. First, Victor’s will is read, but, in true GH fashion, the evil Cassadine delivers his reading via a videotaped message of himself in a return appearance by Charles Shaughnessy,
Meanwhile, Trina (Tabyana Ali), Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Portia (Brook Kerr) have all been awaiting the DNA tests results to prove that Trina is the biological daughter of Curtis, not Marcus Taggert (Réal Andrews) .
At the same time, Curtis is moving back in with Portia, after his lip lock with his ex-wife, Jordan (Tanisha Harper).
Spencer (Nicholas Chavez) and Trina are at the center of both storylines, because Uncle Victor probably left something behind for Spencer, while Trina will be dealing with the fallout from the DNA results.
