One of the most thoughtful and deeply soulful men we know, General Hospital’s Michael Easton (Finn), took to his official Facebook page to address the heartbreaking death of his best friend and former One Life to Live co-star, Kamar de los Reyes.

Easton, who is also a gifted poet, crafted such a heartfelt remembrance for Kamar, who passed away on Christmas Eve at 56-years-old after succumbing to a short battle with cancer.

On OLTL, de los Reyes played Antonio Vega from 1995-1998 and then again from 2000-2009. Michael Easton took on the role of Llanview’s John McBain, a role he played from 2003-2012.  It was there, at the studios in Manhattan, that the two became very close through the years. Michael’s tribute to Kamar truly sums up the measure of the man, and it is below.

Easton began, “KAMAR … I never wanted to write these words for you. Never thought I would have too. You were bigger than life. A force of nature that elevated us and this world was a dizzier place with you in it. You were a fighter. You fought to your last breath. A man of faith that never lost hope. You loved your wife, and you loved your children and their love for you was the lifeforce that kept you going. You meant so much to so many.”

Michael pointed out the charitable efforts of Kamar, and what he meant to his own life, adding, “You promoted charities and went on USO Tours. The good work you did for Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.  Millions of people know you from television and movies and video games. I just know you as my best friend. The best man at my wedding. For thirty years you were always there, loving life more than anyone I know and when I was around you, I loved it as much as you did.”

In closing, Michael said farewell for now to his beloved friend, sharing, “We are all broken now but blessed to have shared this time and although the nights seem suddenly darker, I know you are still with us, your light guiding us forward.  Where you are going my friend, there I will be someday and I know I will find you. Until then, I love you brother.”

Jon Lindstrom and Cady McClain Announce They Have Ended Their Marriage

After much speculation, General Hospital’s Jon Lindstrom (Kevin) and Cady McClain (ex-Jennifer, DAYS, ex-Rosanna, ATWT, ex-Dixie, AMC et al) have officially confirmed and announced they have gone their separate ways and have ended their marriage.

For months on social media, it was clear that the two were seemingly apart, not appearing pictured in any of each others posts.

Now, on a mutually shared Instagram post, Jon and Cady made an official statement on the status of their relationship, beginning with “Cady and Jon here. We are taking this opportunity to make a short statement about our relationship status. It may be obvious to some based on our posts that we’ve taken some time apart. After serious consideration we have decided that our goals have been taking us in different directions and to end our marriage.”

As to the future, Jon and Cady explained, “We remain friends and wish each other every happiness. As people who work in the public eye, it can be difficult to have a private life. Regardless, we ask for your kind consideration in this matter.”

Jon and Cady met when they both appeared on As the World Turns, he as Craig Montgomery, and she as Rosanna Cabot. After four years together, the couple decided to get married in 2014.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny and Jason Trade Threats on Each Other

The love affair that once was mobster Sonny (Maurice Benard) and hit man Jason (Steve Burton), and having each others back, is now apparently over! On the Thursday April 25th episode of General Hospital, an increasingly paranoid Sonny is confronted by Jason.

Jason wants to talk to Sonny about a “family matter”, but Sonny says they aren’t family now because he’s working with the Feds. Sonny goes on to say how he cannot trust Carly (Laura Wright) or Jason and he knows about Jason buying back the Metro Court for Carly from Nina (Cynthia Watros).

When the conversation turns to Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Dex (Evan Hofer), Jason informs Sonny that Kristina (Kate Mansi) knows Sonny ordered a hit. Jason is worried about Dex’s safety. He tells Sonny that if he does something to Dex, Kristina will figure out that he is responsible.

Sonny goes on to say how much he loves his kids and how he will protect them. He then tears into Jason for abandoning his sons, Danny and Jake, for two years and how he has no right to stand there to tell him what to do.

Jason warns Sonny again to leave Dex alone or he’ll personally stop him. Sonny snaps at Jason, countering, “You’ll die trying!” And at that point, Jason walks out and Sonny slams the door behind him.

What do you think about this split in the longstanding relationship of Jason and Sonny? Do you like Jason and Sonny at odds? Will Kristina be the person to ultimately figure out what is happening to Sonny, or it might it be Nina, who knows Ava (Maura West) is up to no good? Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first watch this clip from part of the Sonny/Jason scenes below.
