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’ Josh Swickard Stars in Faith-Based ‘The Space Between Us’ as The Man Who Has an Affair with a Married Woman

Josh Swickard

While General Hospital’s Harrison Chase’s (Josh Swickard) marriage to Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) has seemingly come to an end based on trust issues, and his unrelenting believe of the innocence of his ex-wife Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) when she has committed heinous crimes, Josh Swickard is also being featured in another story on another platform in the new faith-based movie, The Space Between Us.

In the streaming feature now on the Angel platform, Swickard is playing Levi Boone, a handsome young solider, who finds himself attracted to a married woman played by Jennifer Taylor. The two have an affair. The movie made it’s debut last week on October 8.

According to the loglines, “The Space Between Us dives deep into modern relationships, following marriages straining under the heavy weight of busyness, unmet expectations, and spiritual disconnection. Described as a story of grace in the mess, the film takes a grounded, deeply relatable look at how even the best intentions can fall apart—and how faith, strong community, and honest vulnerability can bring true healing.”

In a cast interview, which features Swickard, Taylor and Kristoffer Poloha, the trio discussed their thoughts on betrayal in marriage, and who’s right and who’s wrong and more.

Josh Swickard explains, “The audience can get it from a lot of sides too where we can show it, and if you have crossed that line in your marriage. it doesn’t have to be over. And when two people are willing to work, anything’s possible. Not giving the end away. I’m just saying. It could happen. It could happen. People can end up together.”

Meanwhile, Kristoffer Poloha added, “Like, wait a minute, but this other guy steps in and I think passion takes over. I think what you see is how easy it is to stumble. Whether it’s adultery or whether it’s another type of sin, you can basically burn your house down in many different ways and how quickly it is to light that fire.”

The Space Between Us is from Canyon Productions. The company delivers faiith-based media designed to encourage, inspire, and uplift viewers along their spiritual journeys. By showcasing the genuine struggles and eventual triumphs of relatable characters facing tough real-world challenges, Canyon aims to create projects that point audiences directly toward hope and perseverance.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Trina Reminisces About Spencer, Soon After Roses and a Note from Her ‘Biggest Fan’ Arrive

Published

Trina and Spencer

General Hospital fans know red herrings when they see them. That the obvious choices, are usually not the culprit when a soap opera tells the story of an obsessed stalker. The soap trope always cast doubt on a laundry list of potential suspects until one day the actual reveal occurs!

The latest soap obsession is the character of Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali), the young singer who has been performing alongside her recording label mate Gio Palmieri. (Giovanni Mazza). The duo are back for another gig at the Cat’s Eye Lounge on the Tuesday, October 13 episode of the ABC daytime drama series.

After a sound check, where someone is watching Trina through the window, she is greeted by Ava (Maura West) and Trina’s current beau, Kai (Jens Austin Astrup).  Later, while talking to Emma (Braedyn Bruner) about Emma’s thoughts on moving in with Gio, Trina admitted she wasn’t ready to move in with Kai just yet.

ROSES ARE RED …

It’s at that point, for the very first time in a very long time, Trina mentioned the name of Spencer. Trina recalled the time she was ready to move in with him when she and her beloved late boyfriend were going to move to Paris.  With sorrow in her voice, Trina told Emma. “Take the leap. Because life doesn’t always give you a second chance.”

In a recent interview on the Michael Fairman Channel, Tabyana Ali had mentioned that while she is being kept in the dark as to who is her on-screen stalker, will turn out to be she loves the idea of turning it out to be Spencer Cassadine, as do many GH fans who have begun to speculate heavily that the story could reveal a very much alive Spencer. In story, Spencer went overboard and into the Seine River in Paris to his presumed death back at the end of January 2024.

As today’s episode continued, Quinn arrived (Jequon Jackson) and questioned Kai, if he was at all bothered by the growing closeness between Trina and Gio. Kai says he is not.

BACK FROM THE DEAD?

After Trina and Gio perform, Emma brings over to the table a bouquet of roses for Trina, that had been left outside from her “biggest fan.” Trina assumed the flowers were from Kai. He says he did not send them. Quinn just stares at Trina.

So, do you think the stalker could turn out to be Spencer, trying to get back to Trina because he loves her so much? How would you feel about a Spencer Cassadine recast? Do you think Trina mentioning Spencer today was a red herring or dropping a hint that it could very much turn out to be him that is the ‘fan’?  Let us know in the comment section, but first check out some of the key moments from Trina’s stalker story on Tuesday’s GH below, followed by our conversation with Tabyana Ali.

Parry Shen and Lydia Look

In a surprise appearance on the Monday, October 12 episode of General Hospital, Parry Shen and Lydia Look returned to the canvas as Brad Cooper and Selina Wu, as the Wu crime family was bidding for the Port Charles piers up for auction!

Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Ric (Rick Hearst) are completely floored when Selina strolled into the Metro Court conference room with her nephew and former GH lab tech, Brad Cooper, by her side.

This is the first time GH viewers have seen the character of Selina Wu since back in July of 2025. Previously, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) framed Selena for the firebombing of Charlie’s pun that put Sonny’s daughter Kristina (Kate Mansi) in grave danger. GH fans recall it was the late Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) who saved Kristina from the fire. In story to avoid Sonny’s wrath, Selina fled the country.

SURPRISE NEW PIER OWNER IS REVEALED

When Selina entered the conference room on today’s GH, she told Sonny the entire Sidwell debacle was “water under the bridge,” and he agreed. “I have no issue with you,” Sonny said in return.

In order to secure her bid for the piers, Selina explained Brad stepped in to make the necessary arrangements while she was trying to get herself get back to the United States. Sonny tells Brad, “You’re not going to get those piers!”

When it’s time for Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) to reveal the winning bid for the piers, seated in the room are potential buyers: Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), and JJE executive, Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel).

Suddenly, Ezra reveals that JJE secured the piers and the winning bid as Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) made a surprise entrance as the new pier owner. How did Josslyn do it? Watch the clip below where prior to the final bids being announced, the WSB agent rigged the computer system!

So, glad to see Brad Cooper and Selina Wu back in action? Do you hope they stay for a bit? What do you think of Josslyn getting the piers? Is this how she sets out to destroy Sonny? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
