Where’s Scott Baldwin on General Hospital? Character’s whereabouts explored

The resident General Hospital attorney Scott Baldwin has been missing from the show for a few weeks now. He was involved in the storyline when Jagger was trying to get Sonny into prison. However, Scott took a small break from the investigation and did not return at all.

The soap has not explored the character's whereabouts, leaving his disappearance as a mystery for now. Currently, Anna Devane suspects something about his absence and is even investigating it. It is likely that this might build the foundations for a future plot dynamic for Scott.

It has been revealed that actor Kin Shriner is just recovering from breaking his leg and will return to the soap eventually. However, fans of the character are simply hoping that Scott might come back to their screens sooner rather than later.

What were the plot dynamics when Scott Baldwin left General Hospital suddenly?

Before his sudden exit from the soap, Scott Baldwin was working with Agent Jagger Cates on a case. They were trying to get Sonny Corinthos arrested, which is surprising considering that Scott has worked with Sonny in the past. The issue they contested over was the pharmacist and Sonny's medication for bipolar disorder.

During this time, Scott took a break from brainstorming and decided to go out and get some doughnuts. However, the character did not return after that, mysteriously vanishing from the plot altogether. Scott was also working on setting Heather free from prison, another one of his active cases that he left behind.

After this, Ric Lansing made his way back into Port Charles. He took up a lot of Scott's cases, including helping Heather. Even during Ava Jerome’s legal struggles, Scott wasn't there to provide representation. It seems that Ric is becoming the go-to attorney for all legal issues on General Hospital. It remains to be seen how Scott will return to town and proceed with his storyline on the soap now.
