General Hospital Co-Stars Share Heartfelt Goodbyes to Michael Easton
Michael Easton is set to exit General Hospital on-air tomorrow on the Thursday, June 27th episode of the ABC soap opera. This comes on the heels of the actor’s videotaped announcement on Wednesday via his Instagram, where he revealed that he has wrapped his run as Dr. Hamilton Finn.
Since the time of the video’s posting, several of his GH co-stars have followed suit with comments on their time working with the popular actor, who has been with the show on and off since 2012, and in three different roles; John McBain, Silas Clay, and lastly, Finn.
Michael’s exit comes as Finn has fallen off the wagon, and is losing custody of his daughter, Violet due to his drinking. Previously, Finn found his father, Gregory had passed away in the middle of the night after battling ALS. The material has given Easton a chance to shine in memorable performances as he says goodbye to his time with GH.

Michael Easton is a wonderful actor, loved him on General Hospital and One Life To Live. Y&R please cast Michael Easton as Phyllis new love . They would be terrific together. Phyllis needs a new man in her life
Maybe he could go back to DAYS where he was Tanner Scofield. That’s where I first saw his work and knew he was right for the soap genre.
I’m sad to see that you won’t be on my screen every day! I had the pleasure of meeting you in Columbus Ohio a few year’s ago. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and success! Can’t wait to see what’s next for you/us! ♥️ Excellent work Michael and Michael Fairman! TY
Hate that Michael Easton is leaving GH. He is a fabulous actor ! Loved meeting him at Disney Soap Weekend’s! He is even better looking in person !! The father daughter storyline dropped when it could have been even more beautiful. Too much FBI and mob garbage !!!! I would love to see him with Sharon Case on Y & R. Those two would be hot hot hot !!!!
I could buy this suggestion but certainly not Phyllis, makes me ill, thinking about it.
I’m . broken-hearted to see him leave. I always felt like he was a constant in each character’s life, I’ve enjoyed his interaction especially in Violet’s life, she came along just when they needed each other.
Now, we’ll have to see this little girls heartbreak, losing her dad.
is this a new trend? get a great storyline and put in great performance then leave? what’s happening? was he let go? if he was bad move, if he chose to take a break and hopefully come back later on then he’s got my blessing, can’t wait to see him again, I hoping still that Hayden will show up.
Now that’s a story I never understood why it got dropped.
I agree with everything you said.
It seems like it lately… they could have done this so much better…
Michael Easton written out of GH to make room for Jonathan Jackson?
I sure hope this wasn’t the case, because no way in hell is it a fair trade!
Hard to vent when we don’t know if Michael wanted to exit or if they let him go. All I can say is I’ve had a crush on this actor since OLTL. And when I felt crushed when OLTL went off the air and felt the loss of these fictional characters who were a staple in my life, I felt an overwhelming relief to learn that Michael Easton was going over to GH. It felt like the loss was lessened; that the familiarity and continuity wouldn’t be so broken.
I don’t think GH ever wrote a character as good as John McBain; those of who loved him as McBain had to adjust to quirky Finn and “Roxie.” But I’d have wanted Michael to stay even if he was cast as Roxie! LOL. I just really like him. And now, just as he was given an emotionally driven story to play, it was written only as an exit story. What a waste.
Silas had potential; not sure why they killed that character off either. Nina’s ex, Willow’s father, they could have developed some great stories from that too.
Ugh; I’m going to miss Michael Easton. If it wasn’t his choice, I can only hope that the powers-that-be bring “Finn” back after rehab.
On a side note, I hope they’re not bringing back Hayden…never liked the character.
I agree, I’ve loved this actor from the beginning too, all the characters he’s played were so enjoyable, even the first one, as the Vampire and Nina’s ex and finding out he was Kiki’s father and how he used the baby to save Ava’s life that time. I can’t even hold that against him, ha, ha. It’s nice knowing there is some others that liked him as much as I do. With all the put downs , it’s been hard keeping my mouth shut as you know.
I think It is a shame that the gh writers decided to get rid of so many power house actors in the last year…
Not always the writers the decision. In this case, the rapid decline of Finn’s addiction indicates it may have been contract related. Either Easton wanted to depart or Frank had to manage the budget more tightly.
I know little to nothing about Rehab, mostly what I’ve seen on TV. If Michael hadn’t been leaving GH, are the patients allowed visitors? It’s hard to believe they are isolated for three months, without seeing any family.

‘General Hospital’s’ Finn Carr Weighs-In on Potential Rocco and Scout Teen Romance

Finn Carr, who delivered powerful performances on General Hospital, when Rocco shot WSB director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and its aftermath, may be headed for his first on-screen love story on the ABC soap opera.
Ever since it was announced that the long-running daytime drama decided to age-up Scout Cain, and in a few recent scenes between Rocco and Scout, it’s clear these two share similar interests and like each other.
Scout is now played by Kayden Brenna Tokarski, who made her GH debut back on July 20 as the daughter of Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and the late Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco).

In a newly-released virtual segment with ABC11 North Carolina’s GH virtual insider, Dearon Smith, both Finn Carr and Asher Antonyzyn talked about working on a soap opera, while finishing high school, and teasing what’s ahead for Danny and Rocco. While Finn and Asher couldn’t give too much away, Smith asked Finn Carr if there is something brewing between Scout and Rocco?
WHAT’S NEXT FOR ROCCO AND DANNY?
Carr responded, “That’s an interesting question. Kaden is great to work with, and I love working with her. There definitely is some great stuff coming up that people are going to want to watch. It’s good stuff and really fun.”
Apparently, Danny and Rocco will also find themselves once again in some trouble, but as Finn tells it looks like this time, Danny will take the brunt of it. “We get into a lot of trouble … well, Danny gets into a lot of trouble … but I do a lot though.” Very cryptic indeed!
You can check out the full conversation with Finn and Asher with ABC11 below.
Now, let us know, would you like to see Rocco have a girlfriend, and that it would be Scout? Do you think Finn and Kayden work well together on-screen? Share your thoughts via the comment section.

Laura Wright Signs New Contract with ‘General Hospital’

While there have been plenty of on-screen newcomers in recent weeks on General Hospital, no need to worry about one of its mainstays, with the news from Daytime Emmy winner, Laura Wright, herself. Wright who plays Carly Spencer on the ABC soap opera has revealed on X, that she just re-signed a new deal with the soap opera to remain in Port Charles.
Wright is the fourth actress to play Carly, following in the footsteps of the OG Carly, Sarah Brown, Tamara Brown, and Jennifer Bransford. In fact, Laura left her major role on Guiding Light as Cassie Layne Winslow to take over the role of Bobbie Spencer’s (the late Jackie Zeman) complex daughter in November of 2005. Now almost 21 years later, Laura has made Carly her own and has delivered memorable performance after memorable performance throughout her run.
When a fans commented on X, “Can I just say if you ever leave General Hospital as Carly I will stop watching the show. I honestly have loved you and think that you are the best person to play Carly,” Laura Wright jumped in to the thread and assured her and other GH fans, that she has no plans to go anywhere else.

LAURA WRIGHT STAYING PUT AT GENERAL HOSPITAL AND FANS ARE HAPPY SHE’S STICKING AROUND
Laura expressed, “I’m not going anywhere, just signed a new contract!!!” Since she made her public statement, many GH fans were thrilled with the news with comments such as: “I would’ve been devastated if you weren’t sticking around. You’ve truly made Carly your own after so many years, ” and “Happy to hear this, I always enjoy #GH more when Carly is on,” plus “So glad you’re sticking around as Carly. Love Carly and can’t wait for more #Caradine and #Jarly”
One fans hopes Laura will be on for years to come a la Jane Elliot’s tenure as Tracy Quartermaine saying, “Awesome. It’s so fun getting to see the full life of a character. Hope you stick around for many more years. I think Carly will be a hoot in her Tracy Quartermaine era.”
Laura Wright’s road to General Hospital started back on ABC’s Loving when she first played Allison “Ally” Rescott on Loving (1991 to 1995) and then its spinoff The City (1995 to 1997). She later joined Guiding Light as Cassie, who was revealed to be the sister of Reva Shayne played by Kim Zimmer. She played the part from 1997-2005. From then on its been all GH scoring a Lead Actress Daytime Emmy win in 2011, along with eight total nominations throughout her daytime career.
Currently, Carly is involved in a romance with Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), but it’s on shaky ground with Anna Devane back in the picture not so happy to see the two canoodling, and Carly having been warned by Sonny that Valentin is not trustworthy.
However, after seeing Laura’s post that she has signed on to stay at GH, James Patrick Stuart commented on X reacted by stating, “Phew!”
So, happy to hear Laura has re-signed with General Hospital and will continue her role as Carly Spencer? Let us know via the comment section below.
I’m not going anywhere ❤️❤️ just signed a new contract !!! ✨✨ https://t.co/GfTSt53xFQ

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Willow Feels The Effects of Jacinda’s Drugs; Josslyn Find Out She’s CEO of Jasper Jacks Enterprises

On the Friday, August 7, episode of General Hospital, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) unknowingly has put her children Amelia and Wiley in danger, Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Ava (Maura West) appear to be in collusion against Sonny, and Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Hudson (Troy Lennon Appel) get off to a rocky start (which as you know in soaps could be a love match down the line!).
Here’s what went down as most of the action took place at the Metro Court pool area: First, Josslyn meets with Hudson, who reveals himself to be none other than the VP of Operations for JJE (Jasper Jacks Enterprises). Hudson tells Josslyn he was sent to Port Charles from Australia, while her dad was sailing around the world as he had named her the new CEO of his company.
Josslyn immediately puts her foot down and tells Hudson she is not accepting the position. He asks, why? She informs him that she works as a WSB agent. Hudson seems stunned and his interest is piqued.

HUDSON DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF JOSSLYN
In turn, they get into a tiff, where Hudson is annoyed that he flew all the way around the world and wasted his time. Meanwhile, Josslyn is annoyed that her father didn’t even bother to ask her if she wanted to run the company. In the end, Josslyn tells Hudson to get her a list of qualified candidates, one of which she can sign the company over to. She then storms off.
However, Hudson spots Ava Jerome, whom he knows was speaking with Ethan in Norway, and who knows about Ethan’s involvement with baby Phoebe. Ava is busy talking with Drew on how they mutual disdain of Sonny, and it should be the driving force for them to work together to take him down. Ava wants no more threats over her head of having Avery taken away from her by her father. Drew is all ears!
Michael (Rory Gibson) meets up at the pool with Jacinda. She shows him the restraining order that Willow got from the courts against her to stay away from the children. Michael promises to get his lawyers to fight it.
However, Michael knows something is up when Jacinda said, “Willow is about to make a public mistake,” hoping that pills she put in Willow’s iced coffee have begun to spin the congresswoman out of control. Michael demanded to know what Jacinda had done to Willow.

WILLOW’S ABOUT TO GO FOR A DANGEROUS DRIVE
Elsewhere at Nina’s, Willow got a surprise when Amelia and Wiley showed up. Now, she will have them for the afternoon and decides they are going to have fun day. After a slight scare when Wiley picked up her iced coffee, Willow told her son to put down the drink because it has caffeine in it. However, then Willow began to drink it herself unaware that Jacinda spiked it with drugs.
In the final moments of the episode, Willow’s behavior changes as she is now over-excited about taking the kids to the arcade. A drugged Willow grabs her car keys, and she and Amelia and Wiley head out to the car. We fade to black.
So, did you feel on-screen chemistry between Hudson and Josslyn? Do you like Drew and Ava teaming up? Do you think Willow gets into a car accident with Amelia and Wiley in the car, which in turn, will kick Jacinda to the curb with Michael? Share your thoughts on what happens next and more in the comment section below. But first for some clues, take a look at the General Hospital preview that aired for Monday’s August 10th episode during the closing of today’s GH.
