Evan Hofer Chats Live on His Exit from ‘General Hospital’ When He Visits the Michael Fairman Channel
General Hospital fans were in for a shock when on last Friday’s episode, officer Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) took his last breath and went into cardiac arrest and died, just as his girlfriend, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) came to see him.
Meanwhile, Josslyn is overcome with grief, and the young man whom she loved and who made a change in his career from working as Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) henchman to working for the right side of the law, is gone. Sadly, that also put the end to the run of young star, Evan Hofer who for three years played and developed the character of Dex.
As Hofer told Entertainment Weekly upon learning Dex would be written-off in a storyline-dictated move, “I was just dying to hear how the story would go, and getting to put a bookend on it is a really rare thing in any job, to actually get to wrap up a character arc.”

Now, Evan is making a visit to You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel on Wednesday, December 18th beginning at 7pm ET/4pm PT when he chats live on his departure from the ABC daytime drama series. Evan will share what happened during the taping of his final scenes, saying goodbye to his co-stars, what he will miss about playing Dex, his favorite GH moments on and off-screen, and what’s coming up next for his career and his hopes for the future, and much more.
On Monday, Hofer’s romantic scene partner, Eden McCoy, shared her reaction with Soap Opera Digest on Evan’s sudden exit, expressing,”I was really shocked when I found out what was going to happen. They just had so many people dying and I really didn’t expect them to pull this one off right now. It was a lot of shock and obviously there was sadness that he and I weren’t going to work together anymore, and grieving for that era and celebrating that together and just sharing great last moments together on and off screen. I mean, I’m super-excited for Evan in the future and what is to come for him and I’m super-proud of him. I think he’s done an amazing job.”

Speaking on his final confrontation with the character of Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober), which puts the criminal at the top of the list of persons of interest as Dex’s killer (although no one in Port Charles had connected the dots yet), Evan shared with US, “He’s (Cyrus) this serial killer and kind of monster of a character. But Jeff is such an incredible man and incredible actor. For those final scenes, I knew I really wanted to bring the heat.”
Be with Evan and Michael in the live chat this Thursday. Additionally, if you have a question or comment you want posed to Evan during the broadcast, but cannot be with us live, please drop it in the comment section of this post. So, how are we feeling about Evan Hofer being killed-off as Dex Heller? Weigh-in below.
Looking for to this.
I love dex he was my favorite on gh
Would you go back to GH if they changed their minds and bring Dex back?
I’m all for GH bringing back Dex & Sam too.
I don’t like it Dex killed off the show
Very disappointed that Dex was killed off. There was great potential in his backstory, parents, etc.
Right now GH is telling stories that are bombing, I’m a diehard fan and right now I’m so disappointed in this show with almost all their storylines, that’s a first for me, I’ve been watching the show forever and never have I been so turned off, and that’s saying a lot I mean I thought Ron C run as headwriter was horrible but I can’t believe the crap that Chris and Elisabeth the shows head writers are putting out, its so dark and negative to sleazy and almost mean spirited.
You seem to have such a loyal and dedicated fanbase. Is there a specific time that they completely surprised you with a gift or at a fan encounter?
You seem to have such a loyal and dedicated fanbase. Does it ever still surprise you after almost 3 years with the amount of love and support they give to you either through a special gift, during fan events, and on social media?
It hasn’t even been a week and miss Dex terribly already

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”
Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.
Next, Lucy (Lynn Herring) has a plan to get the controlling shares of Deception away from Michael (Rory Gibson). She wants her daughter, Serena (Kelly Kruger) to seduce Michael. She tells her, “Pick out your most seductive suit.” Soon, we see Serena in her bathing suit at the Metro Court face to face with Michael.
Later, there is a small baggie containing three blue pills. Nina (Cynthia Watros) ask Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), “What did you do?” We also see Michael asking the same thing of Jacinda (Paige Herschell). Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.
Finally, in the pick-up from last Friday’s cliffhanger, an emotional Jason (Steve Burton) continues to tell Sonny (Maurice Benard) that he cannot work for him anymore. Sonny ask, “So that’s it? You’re Out?” We fade to black.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80

Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.

PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
