Michael Easton is leaving “General Hospital” after 12 years with the ABC soap. He was on ABC’s “One Life to Live” for several years before that.
Easton was a fan favorite but his storyline has come to an end. In all likelihood his character will die or be sent to endless rehab for addiction. (He’s played three different characters over the years.)
Easton’s leaving has to do with yesterday’s announcement that Jonathan Jackson is returning to the show after 10 years. To pay that salary, someone else with a big paycheck had to go. Easton will turn up on another show pretty quickly, I’d guess, probably “Days of our Lives,” where he started his career.
