General Hospital The actor sawed out caused anxiety and anger among fanatics. We’ll tell you why these five actors actually left ABC Soap.
Some of these exits are closest and one can stick out a little back, but they are all very dramatic and hit the fanatic.
Marcus Coloma’s Shocking Exit As Nicholas Cassadine: Uncovering the Mystery
This is one of the latest exports we will discuss: the departure of Marcus Coloma as Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma). Taylor Christopher (formerly Nicholas Cassadin) terminated GH Soap is looking for alternatives due to addiction problems (he later fully admitted it was his job). They found Marcus Coloma and brought him into Nikolas Cassadine.
Of course, many missed Tyler Christopher, but Marcus Coloma was able to win the frenzy. He and GH, First aired in October 2019, he seamlessly joined the role. I thought he did a really good job, of course, I love Tyler Christopher, but Marcus Coloma did a good job. It’s past three years, and his last broadcast date is January 2023.
Everyone wants to know what happened, because the Marcus Coloma exit seems to be Nikolas seems to be everywhere. He announced the export, and there were many rumors and many controversies surrounding its suddenness. So let’s talk about what happened. The first thing is that his three-year contract as Nicholas has just ended. Then, his representative said Marcus Coloma had health problems at the time when his most recent Covid exposure.
Adam Huss intervenes in GH
Adam Huss then plays the role of ending Nikolas Cassadine’s run. This makes everyone wonder why he left, especially since Marcus Coloma didn’t even finish his final scene as Nicholas. Some gossip, Marcus Coloma is upset, his contract is not renewed, and Scuttlebutt suggests that he refuses to take his last scene into Nicholas Cassadine.
However, Marcus Coloma’s representative strongly denied that this was the case. Obviously, something did happen, but the exact reason why Marcus Coloma quits remains a mystery. We do know that his contract has not been renewed and I don’t think he is satisfied with it. Adam Huss continues to build on Nikolas Cassadine.
Anthony Geary’s legendary departure: Why Luke Spencer leaves General Hospital
Now, how many years are we going to go back General Hospital As the iconic Luke Spencer. This is a big outlet. We have to talk about it. He has been an idol since the 1980s. Luke and Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) wedding in 1981 was one of the most watched TV moments ever.
Tony Geary has been nominated for the Emmy Awards on the 17th over the years and won 8 wins. So, why leave General Hospital? In fact, he has left Luke a few times over the years. He left in 1984 and stayed for several years. He returned in 1991 but said he was tired of playing Luke. For a while, they had Geary play his Doppelganger cousin Bill Eckert.
But fans don’t like Bill Eckert. They want Luke. so, GH Bill Eckert was killed, and Tony Geary returned to Luke in 1993. They then introduce the separation of identity barrier storyline, where his character goes dark and does all these crafty things. Fans really hated that and started calling him “fluke”, aka “fake Luke.”
Tony Geary permanently exits GH
Tony Geary expired in mid-2015 when his contract lasted. Luke actor says he’s tired of grinding and has been tired of it for 20 years. He also had something to say about the writer Ron Carlivati of the time. Although he never mentioned his name. He just called him a “writer” and basically said they didn’t like each other.
He is not satisfied with the writer. Tony Geary also said he didn’t want to collapse and died GH Set and have the end of his life. Therefore, he escaped from the role of Luke. He moved to Amsterdam and still lives with her husband, Claudio Gama. Tony Geary’s last airing date was July 2015.
Luke dies off screen
But then, he played the role of Luke Spencer in the final episode of May 2017, the final episode of Jane Elliot as Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot). She said she was retired, although she has not retired since then, she has returned General Hospital Stay behind. Tony Geary returns to honor Jane Elliot’s exit, but he doesn’t even have a conversation like Luke.
this General Hospital The writer ends up killing off-screen characters in a cable car accident in Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy). Finally, Tony Geary was tired of playing the same role for so long, and he wanted to do other things in his life, and he had already done it.
Fans’ anger: Kelly Monaco’s controversial exit as Sam McCall
Let’s talk about the latest exits that will definitely catch fans on fire and they still want GH Turn it around: Kelly Monaco plays Sam McCall. General Hospital They were shocked when Kelly Monaco, who died in late October 2024, played Sam McCall.
But, over a month later, we got the actual last air date of Kelly Monaco General Hospital In early December 2024, on flashback, it was finally confirmed that Sam was murdered by Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober). In fact, we’ve leaked, and it was him who killed Sam before the character even passed away. We leaked very early.

Kelly Monaco didn’t choose to leave the general hospital
Kelly Monaco has been Sam’s favorite for over 20 years. So, why did she leave? Well, this is not the option Kelly Monaco left. She posted it, but later deleted it, one comment said since Billy Miller (formerly Jason Morgan and Drew Kane) was fired. Her storyline was stripped of.
She posted this in response to some people saying she got a low pay rate that she didn’t accept. Then she came back and said, “No, it’s not at all.” Basically, they removed the role she was working hard to develop. Kelly Monaco said it was “the best revenge” and promised to release more “tea” about her fired.
Kelly Monaco never had a chance to tell her story
She never explained why GH Dismissed her. I don’t know if they hit her with NDA. Kelly Monaco’s mom, like Billy Miller’s mom, has something to say about firing. GH It is “stupid and evil”. Fans are very angry.
They launched a campaign that included New York Times billboards and trucks, and her photos drove on ABC Studio Lot, demanding GH The producer undoes Kelly Monaco’s shooting and saves Sam McCall. Obviously, this has not been eliminated. So maybe the producers will change their minds, but for the moment, that’s no.
Recast controversy: Lexi Ainsworth’s departure as Kristina Corinthos
Speaking of Davis Girls, let’s talk about Lexi Ainsworth’s exit, Kristina Corinthos-Davis. This is another outlet and recast that doesn’t get along well with fans. Lexi Ainsworth was replaced by Kristina Corinthos-Davis and Kate Mansi, and this re-evolution is still rubbing people in the wrong way.
Fans have known Lexi Ainsworth since she was 16 years old, when she was the then young daughter of Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and attorney Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn). Lexi Ainsworth has been conducted on over 500 episodes General Hospital. Her role is great. She could have played Christina indefinitely. But now that we have the character of Kate Mansi, many fans are still salty.
The truth behind Lexi Ainsworth’s exit
So, why did Lexi Ainsworth exit? Again, this is another situation I think it really depends on her. Her final episode as Kristina was in late April 2023, about a month later, in May 2023, when Kate Mansi made her debut to replay Kristina Corinthos-Davis. Lexi Ainsworth was very friendly about this, calling it a “mutually beneficial decision”.
However, many fans insisted that she was suddenly fired. Part of that is because the Kristina actress said she was really looking forward to the upcoming storyline and it sounds like she was going to play with it and wasn’t going to leave. Lexi Ainsworth said the upcoming storyline was actually inspired by her personal experience and she didn’t play.
Some other sources suggest she was blinded by Christina’s recast, basically having a chat GH The opportunity to hire a talented actress, Kate Mansi, who jumped up and suddenly cut off a long-time actress who is a fan favorite who can make room for what they want. But Lexi Ainsworth walked onto the highway without confirming any chats.
Jonathan Jackson’s Commuter Challenge: The Last Exit of Lucky Spencer
The last person we are going to talk about is the exit of Lucky Spencer, a legacy descendant played by Jonathan Jackson. This is someone who has been recast twice over the years, but always returns to the lucky character. Jonathan Jackson debuts GH’s Fortunately, he is only 11 years old.
Jonathan Jackson played the role from 1993 to 1999, when they wrote Lucky for storyline reasons. The next year, in 2000, they brought the role back, but Jonathan Jackson was busy with other projects. So they recast first with Jacob Young and then with Greg Vaughan. Jonathan Jackson went public in 2009.
Chat, they asked Greg Vaughan to restore his luck. He stayed in 2011, but then walked away and said the materials were too heavy and he was a little burned. He came back a few times during this period, but that was just a drop. Jonathan Jackson’s run at the time was absolutely amazing.
Jonathan Jackson recently left the General Hospital
He won three best young actor Emmys and won two more wins in the Assisted Actor category. After years of absence, fans were absolutely shocked when Jonathan Jackson returned in the summer of 2024. It was supposed to be a pleasant long stay, but only nine months lasted for nine months before saying that continuing was lucky to become unrealistic.
That’s because Jonathan Jackson lives in Tennessee with his family GH. He just couldn’t keep doing it. So this is the last time Jonathan Jackson was lucky to leave, saying it was because the experiment on off-road commuting failed and he just couldn’t move on.
