Very disappointed to hear about this. I love every scene that he’s in. As a longtime fan of the show, nothing is better than watching veteran actors like him. I hope he’ll be back. I can think of several characters that I wouldn’t miss, but not Scotty Baldwin!!!

I find it hard to believe Kin’s departing. He’ll likely go back to Fort Lauderdale for a few months and be back on screen in the fall. Despite the great audience response, it seems like the writers are putting the breaks on Scott & Liesl. It is refreshing to see the writers attempt romance for some of the senior cast members. Potential couplings for Scott & Liesl, Martin & Lucy and now Robert & Diane are nice ways to take the vets out of work mode and continue to build character. Liesl, Lucy and Robert have been heavily involved in… Read more »

Contract negotiation time?

I like him with Liesel and Elizabeth and her boys. Hope he winds up coming back.

Very bad decision by writers. So sorry to see him go. Hopefully this mistake will b fixed and they will have him return sooner than later

Oh no! I can’t believe he’s been let go. Scott Baldwin is a legacy character and though he doesn’t get much screen time, I do enjoy when he is on. All of the story lines as of late with the veteran characters have been great! Fingers crossed this is just a short hiatus for Kin Shriner.

With Bobbie’s upcoming passing and Monica Q beeing MIA, Scott Baldwin is one of the few classic characters still on. It would be a real shame to let him go permanently.
There are tons of unnecessary characters to get rid of instead: Chase, Portia, Valentin etc

He’s a Twitter drama queen. He’ll be back. Food me once, shame on you. Fool me twice , shame on me. You aren’t fooling anyone who pays attention. You’re not written off – you’re just trying to get people riled up. Not sure how this behavior will get FV and the writers to want you to drive story…

You don’t write out legacy characters. Senior statement are important to continuity and to keeping loyal viewers. I accept the stupid stories if they at least engage familiars and favorites. The passing of Jacklyn Zeman and presumably Bobbie Spencer requires every longtime player to be e present.

That stinks! I love all the old school characters!

I got a bad feeling this may be the beginning of firings and/or contract non renewals? I think budget cuts are coming

Get a grip he does this ever so often pathetic why can’t we have a minute to miss Jackie before we start with the politics about staying on a soap

He’s a terrible actor so I’m fine with it.

I hope he can come back. I love his scenes. Also, I can’t imagine a Bobbie tribute without him. And to think of him being skipped over during this milestone 60th year. Doesn’t make sense.

Just love Scotty, not just with his Fraulein but with Elizabeth and the kids, especially when Franco was alive. What about the upcoming SL with Cody and suing the WSB? Is that going to be all forgotten?

no loss, he became a caricature, the audience wants realistic characters.

When you say “Eventually, Kin was back at GH.” Well, that means he was right. His run was done. They brought him back later. Maybe sometimes he says it when it turns out not to be true, but considering how many times they’ve written him out, and put him on recurring, I don’t blame him for telling the fans what’s going on and riling them up. They don’t treat some of their legacy characters very well and never have. Where the heck is Monica?

Scott Will definitely be back for a memorial for Bobby (Jackie Zeman) if they write her death into the story. Other than that, there is always story for Scott as an attorney and longtime character on the show. I have always been a Scotty fan and believe Kin Shriner is a fan favorite.

I can think of a 1/2 a dozen others. I would rather see go….he’s a definitely my favorite

What is GH thinking???

This just doesn’t make sense to me. In a recent episode, Scotty talked to Cody about suing the WSB for the loss of the Ice Princess Diamond neckless and representing Cody for the theft of Gladys’ bracelet at the Nurses’ Ball. That sounds like a storyline taking off ~ and I don’t mean off a cliff as him being written off would indicate. And what about his love story with Liesl? Though she’s still rejecting him, there was hope offered that she’d change her mind in their latest scenes. Just doesn’t make sense. He’s not a burden, he’s not on… Read more »

Ohhhh!!! He will be missed. I love his punchlines

Quit taking off. People that have been on the show for years , leave them on. That’s what makes general hospitalgood , why you’re at it Go get Steve …. Jason backkkkk

Very very unhappy about Kin Shriner leaving GH! He is one of my favorites!! I really think they are making a huge mistake! Time will tell…continue to lose our favorite actors and it wont be a good result….just sayin!

I am sorry to see him go as I am a LONG TIME ⌛️ GH fan. I remember when he started. But, come on…he is same old boring as ever and hasn’t had a good role since 30 yrs ago. God Bless Jacki (Bobbi) but both were the most boring actors on. They were the perfect pair back in the day. Toodles

This the third time in three years he’s made this claim. He’ll be back. Story likely is not there for him at this time.

Oh that is so sad. I love his character. They always need a lawyer!! Too bad!!

Yeah, he’s written off long enough to take his Summer vacation. He makes this statement annually. It’s funny how people keep falling for it. I think he enjoys seeing the reactions!

I have watched the show since the very first time general hospital started . Scotty has been a big big part of gh. Show won’t be the same. Hope the writers have a enough sense to bring you back you will be missed.

Well I can’t say I am not surprised by this news..but I am seriously disappointed but gh really is messing up a lot lately we are loosing alot really great actors it’s sad I hope the writers know what they are doing or they will loose a lot viewers

I think, along with many other poor decisions, the writers or the directors of General Hospital have made, this is one of the worst! The first one is when they wrote off Jax and Jason during Covid, because of the of the jab! And now the truth comes to light about the jab not working anyway. They lost the best male actors of the show then and now they’re getting rid of another one that brings humor and a different light to the show! It’s a sad day on the decline of General Hospital because of poor decision making.

Ummm there’s a writers strike going on! EVERYONE is writen out right now!! Lol

I feel a a loss to many of us that watch the soap primarily due to characters that have grown with us through familiar spikes in life. I especially enjoy him playing and making Scotty a believable funny, wise slick attorney and admire his lovstruck charm. Too many losses too soon for that show as of late.

He is a gem! I wish they could have used him more like they do with Genie Francis!

I hope this is a joke because we love you playing Scott Baldwin I can’t see anyone else but you I hope this is not true

Don’t write him out he is a great comedic actor.

I’m saddened..and that’s Crazy!! but I hope GH change their mind about letting him go..Scott was Always amusing and I like his sense of humor

Why I love him.

He be back for Bobbie funeral he had alot of stories with her

Do not write out Kin Shriner he has been a part of GH family for 45 years I’m asking you to keep him part of GH family The viewers are so use to seeing him act on GH why would you want to get rid of him now I remember when Scotty and Laura was married on GH before Laura married Luke listen to the viewers and keep him thank you

Ruining the soap for me

I won’t miss him. Always GROUCHY and BOSSY!

Gives me one more reason to quit watching this failing soap opera

Sad to see another long time cast member leaving.

I have to say GH decisions have been awful for the past year. Let’s start with the storylines. Sunny & Nina, Carly & Drew, Willows sickness and the hook killer. Now to casting. The recast of Nicholas, Nina, Trina, Drew, are horrible and not believable. Now there are no more villains. We have more police and detectives on the show ever before. The last storyline that was worth watching on GH was Sonny’s fathers Alzheimer’s disease. There are great actors on GH who aren’t given good stories to tell. GH get your act together.

I can’t help but wonder if this has something to do with the writers strike… Or maybe the General Hospital budget… Because getting rid of one of its most historical characters is absolutely ridiculous. kin Shriner knows how to bring it.

Noooooo I adore Scott, he’s got so much personality… more than most on the show. He is fun, exciting, unpredictable and intelligent. Do not lose Scott Baldwin. He gives my soap pizazz

If anyone should be written off it should be Jocelyn

I like Scot Baldwin he is part of general hospital.Its wrong for the big guys on top to do this.

No!!! You need to keep the long timers to anchor the show and various storylines! Without them the history of the show is lost. Scottie adds a comical dimension the show needs to keep it from being one dimensional and dark. Taking away any of the “original” cast also takes away several generations of watchers.
Bad move on GH’s part.
