Kate Mansi Exits ‘General Hospital’ After Three Years as Kristina Davis-Corinthos
From a new report dropping over Memorial Day weekend, Daytime Emmy winner, Kate Mansi has departed he role of Kristina Davis-Corinthos on ABC’s General Hospital after three years in the role. She made her GH debut the week of May 22, 2023.
According to Soap Opera Network, they shared that according to their sources, Mansi opted not to renew her contract and has already finished taping her episodes. There is no word yet on when Mansi’s last airdate will be on the ABC daytime drama series, but it is said to be sometime next month. There is also no word yet if GH plans on recasting the daughter of Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).
Additionally, a source close to the situation confirmed to Michael Fairman TV that Mansi has indeed finished up her run at GH. In recent months, Kristina’s story has diminished or been somewhat back-burnered after she reopened the bar, Charlie’s, with an open mic night. Some storyline rumors persisted that perhaps, Kristina would become romantically involved with Jacinda played by Paige Herschell, but as of now Jacinda is involved in a relationship with Kristina’s brother, Michael Corinthos played by Rory Gibson.

WHY KATE MANSI LEFT GH
Now, Stephanie Sloane’s newsletter, Soap Steph’s Soap Dish, has revealed that Mansi made the following statement on her departure, “I’ve made the very difficult decision to leave General Hospital. I have a few new projects that require my full attention and with my husband (Matt McInnis) currently producing a series filming primarily abroad, I needed the flexibility to travel while continuing to develop and work in Los Angeles.”
In addition, Mansi shared, “I’m incredibly grateful to Frank (Valentini, EP, GH) ABC, and our writers for the care they gave Kristina. It’s been such a meaningful and unforgettable ride. I’ve loved being a fiery Corinthos-Davis girl in such a phenomenal family.”
Before joining GH, Mansi became very popular as one part of Chabby with Billy Flynn (ex-Chad, DAYS, now Cane, Y&R) on Days of Our Lives in her role as Abigail Deveraux DiMera. Kate took home the Daytime Emmy in 2017 in the Outstanding Supporting Actress category. Kate scored her first nomination as GH’s Kristina in 2025 in the Outstanding Supporting Actress as well.
Mansi’s other credits include feature films and projects including: Unwanted Guest, Boyfriend Killer, Maternal Secrets, and, most recently, Casa Grande. In addition, Kate has been directing at General Hospital and has spent time behind the scenes.
When Kate came to GH as Kristina, she became the fourth actress to take on the role and third in the grown-up version. Mansi followed Lexi Ainsworth and Lindsey Morgan. Ainsworth played the part from 2009-2011. Morgan stepped into the part from 2012-2013, and then Ainsworth reprised the role from 2015-2023.
This week, it looks the beginning of Kristina’s exit story when on the Tuesday, May 26 episode; official GH teasers indicate that Kristina receives big news.
So, what do you think about Kate Mansi’s exit as General Hospital’s Kristina? Do you think the soap opera will recast? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
Thank you soap Jesus!
I use the same expression when you don’t call someone cute and cuddly.
Ha!
I’m not religious but out of respect to those who are, maybe don’t use the phrase,”soap-Jesus.”
I love Kate while she was on DOOL, but for the past year (or the end of the surrogate storyline), she hasn’t had much to do except to talk to Molly, Jacinda, Ethan and Alexis. With the cast continuing to swell and too many storylines, I hope this character is not recasted immediately. Lets focus on Drew/Willow/Willow, Jack, Valentin/Carly/Anna, the Sidwell umbrella story and finish the painful Curtis/Isaiah storyline.
Wonderful news! no offense, Kate started off well, but it’s the writing for Christina, it’s been quite poor with former actresses in the role, too. Christina has been on and off and off the screen several years, so it’s been the various writers who never really knew what to do with the character. Kate had some great material with losing “Adela” – Irene — and the after-month. Top performance. I hope the role is not recast… for now.
Kate must be moving to London to be with her hubby.
Hi! Your comments are valuable and contribute to the conversation so why choose a name that is a variation of the original Satan? (Who really isn’t the original Satan at all). Maybe consider a name that doesn’t distract from the quality of your comment?
If true that Kate Mansi’s leaving GH i can kind of understand why she’s doing it because if the show’s not going to use her why bother staying?However i wouldn’t be surprised if the show recasts Kristina again.
I hate she leaving! In my opinion, she is a main character. I love watching both of the Davis girls.
I very much enjoyed the Kristina character. I will miss her.
I agree 100% Sandy Page. I love Kristina and all the Davis women. I hate that Alexis will lose another daughter. I also love Kate Mansi. She has proven that she can really deliver when given something meaty to work with. I really hate to see her go; but, her stated reason makes sense. I wish her and her husband great success in the future.
But can she deliver? When she was in a state of histrionics at her ( Molly’s) baby’s grave , she had no tears and left me cold.
Not surprised she opted to exit the role. She did say she only took the role because of the SAG-AFTRA strike, so it was a way to work. She could have worked effectively well in the role, but the writing was just never there for Kristina. At this point, rest the role and revisit the character by the end of 2026 with another actor.
Maybe Lexi Ainsworth can return to the role of Kristina?!
Like many others here, I am not sad to see Mansi leave. Sure, the writing sometimes didn’t help, but she never felt like an essential part of the canvas.
Send Kristina off to join Blaze on tour and rest the character for a year or two. While I like Ainsworth, I’m not sure she would work well with Vaganos, who is a keeper (despite the lackluster storyline with Cody).
Perhaps Mansi turns up one day on Y&R.
With Kristina offscreen, it’s time for Sonny to focus on Avery – who should be SORASed into the teen set.
I will not miss her version of Kristina, writing was poor, trying to steal TJ and Molly Baby, bad rivalry with Ava, getting a away with attempt murder of Ric and Elizabeth, trying a hard reset to forget about her crimes. Frank and writers did poor job with character Kristina. I hop recast the character, try again with Kristina and Ethan.
I hope Lexi returns cshe was great!
It’s sad to see her go
Be interesting to see how she exits.
I liked her as Christina. She.blended in well with the other Davis women and the Corinthos family.
I’m hoping to see Kate return to Days as Abby. It seems Days’ shooting schedule would allow Kate the freedom to do other things, including traveling. She and nuChad would be interesting. Come back, Kate!
DAYS shooting schedule really isn’t more flexible. They’re churning out the same amount of episodes, with a 10 (soon to be 11) month advance. It’s a machine they apparently don’t know how to slow down.
Days has several dark weeks per year.
So does GH. They are also dark the entire month of July.
Don’t need to recast the role. Too many characters on the show as it is.
Yes there are too many characters. But the answer to that problem is NOT to cut characters from the “core” families. And Kristina is part of two of those.
The correct answer to that question would be… start with characters created after February 2012, and narrow it down from there.
Kristina should be around in one form or another. Don’t think they could bring back Lexi Ainsworth at this point. Unless they also brought back Haley Pullos as Molly at the same time, because Molly being older than Kristina would make no sense at all. (see the previous failed 40 year old Molly recast)
The return of Abigail Deveraux to Salem is inevitable, but I suspect that’s already in the works, and it will be a different former GH face that will be seen in that role when she eventually shows up on screen, probably in time for the Hortons to hang their balls on the Xmas tree.
I didn’t care for the stories written for her anymore than I cared for her overwrought approach to emoting. The way she has been licking her chops while gazing at Jacinda and later, at Baby Phoebe, (Ethan’s secret biological daughter)makes me think she’s leaving in the nik of time. I did not want to see the seed of those stories come to their fruition
I wish Kate all the very best in her new endeavors. She’s a very talented actress. My hope is that the role will be recast. Alexis needs more than one daughter in Port Charles. I would love to see Frank Valentini bring back Lexi Ainsworth. She knows the role and all the players. It would be an easy transition.
I thought the flirting between Kristina and Jacinda was kind of hot.
I am sad to see her go… Kate has been by far my favorite Kristina….but agree, the writers and those in charge, have not used her to her best ability. I think she played her role given realistically and perfectly. I thought that the three sisters finally looked like sisters with their deep brown eyes, dark hair… looking like they really belonged to Alexis … especially Kristina who looked like a natural to be the child of both Sonny and Alexis. I will miss her but wish her the BEST!
Bring back Lexi!
I hope they don’t recast. I think she was the best fit. Only thing is they need someone to fill in at the refurbished bar.
Ethan (if he’s sticking around) can take over running Charlie’s once Jason returns.
If Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) new therapist on General Hospital looks familiar to you, it’s because actress Kearran Giovanni, who plays Dr. Nichols, previously played a doctor on One Life to Live!.
Viewers tuning-in to the Thursday, September 10 episode of GH got their first look at Dr. Nichols who has been brought in to help Anna recover from her PTSD and trauma following the reveal that she has been suffering from a break in reality since before being put in mental health facility in France, after being gaslighted by Cullum and company earlier in the year.
One Life to Live fans will recall that Kearran Giovanni played Dr. Vivian Wright in 2009, and it was then she first worked with current General Hospital EP, Frank Valentini, who at the time was at the helm in Llanview.

WHERE ELSE HAVE YOU SEEN KEARRAN GIOVANNI?
Giovanni appeared on OLTL in the recurring role through 2012 and in the final ABC episode of the beloved series was the the ob/gyn who delivered Destiny Evans (Shenell Edmonds) and Matthew Buchanan’s (Eddie Alderson) baby into the world, whom they named Drew Buchanan II after Bo Buchanan’s (Robert S, Woods) late son. In addition, Vivian has been dating Shaun Evans (Sean Ringgold).
In addition to One Life to Love, Giovanni has very impressive credits having appeared in numerous TV series and motion pictures including starring in the TNT drama Major Crimes from 2012-18, ABC’s Designated Survivor 2017-19, the CW’s Black Lightning from 2019-20. Most recently, Giovanni appeared on the Fox series, The Resident and has a recurring role on the CW’s crime series, Walker from 202-2024.
HEALING ANNA
On today’s General Hospital, after Anna’s harrowing meltdown where she almost shot and killed Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) after seeing visions of “Peter August” (Wes Ramsey), Jason (Steve Burton) saved the day and talked Anna down from committing murder. Now, Dr. Nichols was introduced as a valuable staff member at the hospital. Although, this marked the first time in the history of the show we have heard of her character.
So, do you remember seeing Kearran Giovanni on One Life to Live? Happy to see that Anna may have a qualified therapist in charge of her healing, unless the doctor turns out to be not on the up and up? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Anna Breaks Down in Front of Jason and Britt After Shots Are Fired
The Wednesday, September 9 episode of General Hospital featured top-notch performances by Finola Hughes and Steve Burton, as Anna holds Jason and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at gunpoint on Mount Emerson.
Anna is not in her right mind as hallucinations of Peter (Wes Ramsey) overtake her, egging her on to shoot and kill Britt. Jason begs Anna to put down the gun, but it’s clear Anna is speaking to someone who is not there, but in a direction that is just past Britt.
Suddenly, Anna screams at Britt, “You’re just like your father!” Anna also tells Britt that she knew Britt was aware that she was locked up on Spoon Island and did nothing to save her. Britt turns to Jason and tells him she had no idea Anna was on the Island, “until Cullum showed up in Port Charles.” That declaration gave Jason pause.

“PETER” TAKES A BULLET
Next, Anna is overcome with angst, filled with tears and screams out, “I won’t let you beat me!” She fires the gun where the imaginary Peter was standing, as Britt screams and Jason dove to cover her. Now completely shaken, Jason took the weapon from Anna and ordered Britt to leave the scene as Anna collapsed in Jason’s arms.
Jason was so concerned for Anna. She reveals she’s been seeing visions of Peter August since France. Jason shared his theory with Anna that she was manifesting her worst fears about Faison. However he knows deep down Anna would never have shot Britt. Jason promises to come back and clean up the area, but would take Anna home first.

ANNA ADMITS TO EMMA SHE TRIED TO KILL BRITT
At Anna’s, Jason brings her in the front door as Emma is there. Jason tells Emma (Braedyn Bruner) he would like to return and spend the night. A confused and worried Emma get the full story from her grandmother.
Anna explains she tried to kill Britt and she is not as well as she was pretending to be in France. Cut to: Jason cleaning up the site of Anna’s plot against Britt on Mount Emerson. He moves over and finds bullet casings on the ground and examines one of them.
The story climax also signaled the end of the run for Wes Ramsey, who has been showing up on episodes over the last several months as Anna’s dark side conscience. Now that Anna was able to break the psychological hold visions of “Peter” had on her, it ends this latest return of Ramsey’s.
So, what did you think about the scenes between Anna and Jason? Do you think Jason and Britt’s relationship will come to an end now that seemingly Britt revealed she knew Anna was held captive after Cullum came to town? Glad to know Anna won’t be haunted by visions of Peter August anymore? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
The marriage of Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) may have come to an end by the conclusion of the Tuesday, September 8 episode of General Hospital.
In story, confronted by Trina (Tabyana Ali), and in front of a room full of Quartermaines, Brook Lynn copped to being the other driver involved in the crash that scarred Jordan’s (Tanisha Harper) face and ultimately sent Curtis (Donnell Turner) to prison.
Chase, who thinks at this point Brook Lynn was covering up her involvement by protecting someone else in the family is shocked to learn it’s Brook Lynn who actually was the driver. Brook Lynn explains she never saw any evidence of a crash when she ran into Jordan’s car, so she didn’t stop to check on anyone. Trina and Jordan are outraged as is Chase.

CHASE PUTS BROOK LYNN ON BLAST
Soon, it comes out that Tracy (Jane Elliot) was involved in the cover-up, and tries to point out that Brook Lynn wasn’t responsible for causing the accident or Curtis punching Isaiah, but Trina says that Brook Lynn tore her family apart, and her father is in prison without the ability to see his newborn son. Trina storms out with Kai (Jen Austin Astrup).
Next, Chase goes on blast on Brook Lynn in front of her entire family. Chase starts to walk out the front door as Brook Lynn tries to stop him. At this point, Chase is all about being lied to, and he goes in on his wife, that they promised there would be no more secrets between them.
Brook Lynn digs a deeper hole for herself when she explained that she’d had a glass of wine before getting in the car to see Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and Trina perform at Charlie’s. She admits to being terrified that she’d lose any chance of adopting baby Phoebe, if she called the police.
TO THE GATEHOUSE HE GOES
Chase is furious that Brook Lynn framed Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) for what she caused and did. With that, Chase leaves Brook Lynn in the dust and heads straight to the gatehouse door to see Willow!
Cut to: Brook Lynn devastated on the staircase of the Q mansion and her dad, Ned Ashton (Wally Kurth) sitting with his daughter to try to comfort her when she decrees her marriage is over.
Now in the pick-up, take a look at the General Hospital teaser video for today’s Wednesday, September 9, episode below.
So, what did you think of how Brook Lynn’s life just blew up in front of her? Does she deserve to have Chase walk out on her for what she did? Do you want Brook Lynn and Chase to work things out, or are you betting by the end of this week Chase and Willow will have hit the sheets? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
