Breaking News: “General Hospital” Faces Mass Exodus in 2025 — Shocking Reasons Behind the 7 Biggest Cast Departures (Chad Duell, Sofia Mattsson, Tristan Rogers, …)
Port Charles has been buzzing this year, and not in a good way. 2025 has turned into a full-blown soap opera behind the scenes of General Hospital, with a wave of exits that’s left fans gasping. Seven big names, countless tears, and more drama off-screen than you’ll ever see in a daytime script. Here’s the tea. ☕
Chad Duell — Michael Corinthos Says Goodbye After 14 Years
Can you believe it? Chad Duell, our golden boy Michael Corinthos since 2010, has decided to walk away.
He called it a “mature life decision” — but insiders whisper it’s all about chasing new opportunities before he’s locked into the same role forever. His final episode aired January 21, and yes, I cried.
Sofia Mattsson — Sasha Gilmore’s Bittersweet Farewell
July 18 marked the end of Sasha Gilmore’s journey, as she headed off to Paris with baby Daisy in tow.
Sofia called it “bittersweet,” but come on — she’s clearly ready for Hollywood’s next big thing. The door’s open for her to return… if the stars align.
Tristan Rogers — Surprise Comeback, Heartbreaking Reveal
Robert Scorpio popped up for a surprise July appearance, and fans rejoiced — until Tristan dropped the bombshell the same day: he’s battling cancer.
It’s not a permanent exit, but the news hit hard. This man is a daytime legend, and Port Charles will always be his home.
Eva LaRue — Natalia’s Tragic Exit
In true soap style, Natalia’s story ended in tragedy — an overdose that shocked viewers in late June. Eva’s run was short but memorable, and frankly, I wish we had more.
Jonathan Jackson — Lucky No More
Jonathan bowed out in early June, citing the nightmare commute from Tennessee to California. Lucky’s departure in the storyline felt like a quiet heartbreak — no explosions, no scandal, just… gone.
Charles Mesure — Brennan Gets Recast
Charles Mesure wrapped his run as Jack Brennan in January, passing the role to Chris McKenna. Word is, it was a smooth hand-off… but you know soap fans, they always pick sides.
Kirsten Storms — Maxie on Pause
Kirsten isn’t gone for good, but she’s taking a break until year’s end after moving to Tennessee. She’s promised she’ll be back, but for now, Port Charles feels just a little emptier.
Call it a “mass exodus,” call it “spring cleaning” — either way, 2025 has been a rollercoaster for General Hospital fans. Some exits sting, others leave the door open, and one legendary name is facing a very real fight off-screen. Soap operas thrive on drama, but this year, the real drama’s been in the headlines.
So, which exit shocked you the most? And who do you desperately want back in Port Charles? Spill it in the comments — you know I’ll be reading.
