Michael Easton is leaving General Hospital.
The 57-year-old actor, who plays Hamilton Finn in the long-running soap opera TV series, announced his exit in an Instagram video on Wednesday (June 26).
“I’ve always been partial to the Irish goodbye. That’s where you leave the party without actually telling anyone you’re gone,” he began.
“But I thought you all deserved better, so I just wanted to let you know that I just filmed my final scenes here at General Hospital.”
“I’ve loved every minute that I’ve been here. I want to thank the entire cast and crew for allowing me to share their stage this past 10 years,” he went on to say.
“Most importantly, I want to thank all of you for the kindness and love you’ve shown me and my family. I won’t ever forget you. And as I walk out here for the last time, and with apologies to the great Lou Gehrig, I feel like the luckiest man on the face of the Earth.”
An air date for his final episode has not yet been revealed.
His movie to GH was first announced in January 2012 as the character John McBain, before exiting due to legal/rights issues alongside other stars and re-entering the series in the brand-new role of Silas Clay, who was killed off in August 2016. He then resurfaced six months later as Dr. Hamilton Finn.
