Jophielle Love on Her GH Exit and a Future ‘Violet’ Return: “It Would Be Great If I Could Come Back with My Dad”
On yesterday’s, October 21st episode of General Hospital, Violet shared some very heartbreaking goodbyes with her loved ones as she leaves Port Charles to join her father, Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton) in Seattle. Those moments signified the end of Jophielle Love’s run on the soap opera, for now.
In tears, Violet told Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) she would miss her the most, told Brook Lynn and Chase (Josh Swickard), she knows they are going to have a baby girl someday, because they are good at raising girls, and that she and Tracy would have a virtual tea party, once Tracy (Jane Elliot) gave her Lila’s good china as a parting gift.
Jophielle spoke to Soap Opera Digest on her exit, where she shared that her final day on set was, “very sad,” but added, “It was fun to end it with a tea party, which is Violet’s favorite thing to do. But the long good-byes … so hard. I think I was already crying before they called, ‘Action!’ ”

Playing Violet’s inner-conflict of being excited to being reunited with her dad, but in the process saying goodbye to the other members of the family, she has grown to love, gave Jophielle all the feels and emotions. “It’s weird to feel so happy and so sad at the same time,” she explains. “Violet was happy to be on her way to see her dad, and also incredibly sad to leave her new home and family at the Quartermaines. And I felt just like that on this last day. It was almost like crying while smiling… and then I realized I was the one going through that door!”

When GH scripted Violet’s exit, the door was left open for her to make a return down the line, which could be sooner than later, we just don’t know. Taking the decision as best she could, the young Daytime Emmy-nominee, said just how she would like to come back, if given the opportunity.
“I don’t know how or when, but I hope it is not in too long from now, said Jophielle. “It would be great if I could come back with my dad but as we saw, there is no way of knowing what the story will be. I could be back next year or in 10 years!”
So, do you want to see Jophielle and Michael Easton return to General Hospital together as a father-daughter unit? Are you sad to see Jophielle leave the show? Comment below.
I really have enjoyed Dr. Finn and Violet’s relationship on the show. I’m looking forward to their sooner than later RETURN.
Great little actress There are more thins in the future for this Brilliant Beautiful Young Lady
I would love to see her come back with her dad or without. I am tired of them recasting great characters and killing off ones. i don’t like the writers
And WHEN the character comes back, please have her mother Hayden come back too.
Great little Actress
Yesssss!
She didn’t say goodbye to her aunt Elizabeth who was more involved in taking care of her for years than Chase. Ridiculous.
Yes bring both back please♥️
I just don’t like the writers anymore. I have stopped watching because they just irritate me with all the firing of good actors! When GH gets new writers I will come back but until then I am boycotting watching my favorite and only Soap!!!
When did g/h turn to diversity look people slavery is in the past! Holocaust is in the past ! For all you that can’t see we are human we bleed red no matter what color we are ! Sure we have a lot of dumbasses be stop feeling sorry for yourself cause of color or religion ! Bring back good soaps or I’ll watch some stupid game show ! I’d watch g/h in the 50s with my dad now I see it deteriorate shame on the writers
Michael Ryan, you best check yourself before you start saying we censor American History textbooks. I have no idea why you brought up Slavery or the Holocaust because no else did. Your viewpoint is chilling and doesn’t belong in a soap comment section.
I agree. Stop with the racism! I am so tired of it.
I also would like to see more black actors being employed!!!!
Yes I would like to see them both return soon. Miss Violet already
Absolutely
Yes I want them both back. They were both great actors. I will miss them.
I would love to see Dr. Finn return to the show and re-connect with Elizabeth.
There are a lot of other actors or actresses on General Hospital that they should be getting rid of. They always seem to let the good ones go. I really hope they rethink some of their decisions. And it’s really very sad that they killing off Sam.
Portia should go, Holly too
The writers need to stop writing out all the good characters!! You are going to keep this up and run out of fans. I’ve been watching this show since it came on in the 60’s and l really hate to say but the quality of story lines is really declining. Too many comercials and too much re-telling of the lines instead of a good script. I and most of the fans already know the story we dont need to hear a 5 min replay before we get today’s story. Thanks for listening. Signed A loyal fan.
Bring them both back.They both had good storylines and are phenomenal actors
They will both be missed. They are both very good actors, but she is very special and will be a great ⭐
I love the little girl & her beautiful singing voice. Finn is a great character.
I am so sorry to see her leave as well as Michal but at least the writers didn’t kill off Finn as he left the rehab hospital to return home. I had early on read they were going to have him die in a car wreck after checking out of rehab so I am grateful that didn’t happen. Hopefully they can both return.
I so enjoyed watching this young actor grow up on GH. She has come a long way. I hope she returns to Port Charles sooner rather than later. So enjoyable to watch.
I am very sad they took Finn and Violet off. I hope they do come back.
The actor portraying Finn quit GH. He said he needed a break. Remember he was on All My Children.
Between the firing of Kelly Monoco, loss of Violet, loss of Marshall I don’t even like the show anymore. Not sure what is driving all this. Kelly gave up part of her salary and was fired anyway. Between bad business decisions and poor writing this show is being run into the ground
Violet is such a wonderful asset to GH. Having her leave would be a tragedy.
i have watched GH since its inception. Violets leaving would be awful
I loved Finn and Violet and it would be awesome to see them return
I cried when she left!! Great lil actress!!
I love the father , daughter. Fillet and fan just fit. Please bring them both back. I loved them and broke my heart when they left.
Mark Teschner has a great track record in finding young talent. Jophielle was one of the best finds since Kimberly McCullough. Miss Love held her own with veteran performers.
Here’s wishing her a lifetime of happiness and success.
Finn and Violet come back
- Yes I would like to see them return to GH.
Yes, bring her back along with her dad and her mom. Sooner than later.
She’s been such a delight to watch grow up. The first sight oof her in the hospital bed – she looked like an angel. I hope she comes back. I miss her already.
This little actress is one the best actress for her age, not to mention the absolute cutest. I hate to see her go, but I think they should definitely have her visit Port Charles during the summer or when Finn does doctors without borders or something like that. Not to kill him off, but to have him missing or something. GH still needs to finish the storyline with Violet’s mother. Leaving open for so long is irresponsible.
Yes I would love to see them return please and thank you
Don’t miss Finn at all. Will miss her!!!! Storylines need to move along!!!!
I hope Violet and Finn come back together. I really enjoyed watching their relationship blossom.❤️
See, this is another reason I’ve stopped watching for almost a year. Either same storylines with different characters, or changes with characters. Not as good as it use to be. Disappointed since I’ve watched from the very 1st show.
Would love to see Violet return with her Dad…absolutely!
Yes let them both come back
I’m upset about violet leaving I think she does a great job and she is so freakin cute!!!!
I look falward to ther return ,sooner then later.
Yes. Bring her back. They are getting rid of good people and bringing killers back on the show. In this world we are living in today keep good things on GH. Not killing and drugs etc. it’s all to real and stressful. It’s too much. Not enough good.
Josephine is phenomenal
Never should have let her go
She will be picked up by another show so fast
Michael Easton is also absolutely outstanding
It is getting ridiculous how the writers are writing off so many wonderful wonderful and important actors and actresses from this program. You are ripping out our hearts with Finn and Violet. I’ve loved Finn for a long time but bringing on Violet to be his daughter brought his character to a new level of greatness and she has added so much love to the show making such a positive difference in so many relationships. Why do we get so involved these characters for you writers to so swiftly dispose of them? Also removing Sam (Kelly Monaco) after all of these years is cruel to her an us. It’s getting hard to get to involved now, knowing that they might be gone as quickly as they came. I do hope to see them back soon.
I liked Finn with Anna, his relationship with Tracy, Alexis, Chase, and especially with Violet. I did not like the pairing with Elizabeth as there was zero chemistry between them. (It was agonizing to watch them together.) So yes, I’d like Finn & Violet to come back; however, he needs to have chemistry with his love interest & that won’t happen with Elizabeth.
Yes, I want to see Jophielle Love return to General Hospital and Michael Finn. Today;s show was a tearjerker, and a heartbreaker.
Bring violet back and finn
I could live without Finn, but Violet was a delight and a wonderful little actor! She was one of my fave characters and I’d love for her to come back— with or without Finn!
Both finn and violet need to return. It is not displaying without them and their relationship
Bring them back

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.
