Michael Easton's farewell from General Hospital
Michael Easton posted a video to his Instagram account, announcing to fans that he had finished filming his scenes at General Hospital. In the emotional clip, he says he was always partial to an Irish goodbye where one could leave without telling anyone they were going, but he decided to post a video because his well-wishers deserved to hear of his exit.
Easton went on to thank his fellow cast and crew members on the show for his experience. He also expressed gratitude to the audience for showering him and his family with so much love.
Michael Easton has had a 10-year-long stint acting at General Hospital, starting with his One Life to Live character John McBain brought to the show in 2012. After McBain's exit, Easton briefly returned as Silas Clay, brother of Stephen Clay. This character was also killed in 2015. Finally, Michael Easton returned to the show in 2016 as Dr Hamilton Finn, a character he has consistently played.
What will Finn's ending storyline be in General Hospital?
In recent episodes, Dr Hamilton Finn's story was seen going into a downward spiral. The show previously established that Finn had struggled with alcohol addiction in the past.
Finn accidentally drank a glass of champagne during a toast at Harrison Chase's wedding. Even though he promised his then-girlfriend Elizabeth that the drink was a one-off mistake, the next morning Finn found out that his father passed away, making him fall into his drinking habit once more.
Elizabeth broke up with Finn after seeing him drunk and kissing Barb, which did nothing to contribute to Finn's recovery. While his brother Chase has been trying to help him with his drinking addiction, it is clear that the show writers intend to remove Finn from the plot soon.
At present, there is no clear indication of how Finn's story will end. He might likely leave to get treatment or rehab in some remote facility. This might allow for his re-entry into the show someday if required. This would also allow his daughter Violet to stay in town under someone's custody, and not leave the story.
Audiences can watch Michael Easton's last moments unfold on screen by following General Hospital on ABC, with episodes released on weekdays.
