General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that more buzz is coming out about a potential departure on the ABC soap. The show managed to lock down Roger Howarth (Franco), but now it looks like another major player is ready to bounce as CDL exclusively leaked yesterday, May 23. A popular actor is leaning toward leaving GH.
Nothing has been confirmed, including whether this male performer will truly go through with his exit. However, we should at least consider the facts that we know right now. Jamey Giddens provided some useful hints on Daytime Confidential’s podcast and his personal Twitter account. He noted that this isn’t a done deal, but a certain actor’s future is definitely in jeopardy.
Of course, it’s possible that this could be firing instead of a willing departure. Sometimes info can be twisted by the time it trickles down from the top. Still, Giddens makes it sound like this actor wants out. Maybe this is about the storylines he’s receiving or just a desire to pursue other opportunities.
Whatever the case, we can narrow down who isn’t going. Giddens said “he” on his podcast, so we can go ahead and eliminate all the females. Nervous General Hospital viewers tweeted their guesses about this performer’s identity. Giddens admitted that it’s not Ryan Paevey (Nathan), Chad Duell (Michael), Robert Palmer Watkins (Dillon), Billy Miller (Jason) or Maurice Bernard (Sonny).
Finally, Giddens tweeted a GIF as a “visual aid.” Since it featured Homer Simpson injecting himself with a doughnut solution, it sounds like Finn (Michael Easton) the druggie doc must be the one at risk. There’s no guarantee that Easton is leaving General Hospital or perhaps being forced out. Just like in Howarth’s situation, it often comes down to the wire.
Nevertheless, Finn fans might want to brace for the possibility that he’s on his way out. What could that mean for Hayden (Rebecca Budig)? Since she’s pregnant, that may affect Finn’s potential exit from the show.
There are few options here. First, Hayden could lose the baby. It could tear their relationship apart and send Finn packing. Hayden could seek comfort from another General Hospital hunk. General Hospital could also let Hayden keep the baby, but kill off Finn instead. Hayden could be forced to raise her child alone – or again, with another soap hunk.
A third option might be to make one more cast cut and get rid of Rebecca Budig – however she’s still on contract so that would be more costly for General Hospital. They could send Finn and Hayden out of town to start their family elsewhere. None of these options would make “Fayden” fans very happy, but sometimes that’s just how it is.
Departures are an unfortunate part of daytime dramas. Is another one coming up on GH? How would you feel about Michael Easton leaving the role of Finn? We’ll give you updates as other news comes in.
