Is Michael Easton Leaving ‘General Hospital’ a Good or Bad Thing?

Photo Source: WeLoveSoaps.net
Michael Easton is leaving “General Hospital” (GH).  There has been a lot of controversy over his time spent in Port Charles, first as the beloved “One Life to Live” (OLTL) character, John McBain, and then as Dr. Silas Clay.

Some fans, especially OLTL fans, loved having Michael Easton on GH and loved being able to see him again.  Some detested it, feeling it was unfaithful to OLTL.  Some GH fans felt his presence inserted OLTL onto the GH canvas and infringed on GH.

Personally, I love any opportunity to see the man and his work.  A multi-talented, creative artist, I am looking forward to seeing his next project.  Thank you, Michael Easton, for the characters and work you have shared with us all so far.

As for GH, only time will tell what the ultimate results of his departure mean.  In your opinion, will Michael Easton’s departure be good or bad for GH?

  1. I wish Michael well with his new endeavors. I felt that he was a talent that was underused greatly on General Hospital.

  2. NOT happy he is leaving. Not all to happy with GH in general. There is plenty of newer characters/actors that should be gone. Valerie comes to mind off the top of my head. I could have done without little Jake. Letting go of Michael Easton is a huge mistake. I agree his talent was underused but the writers could have turned that around. GH continues to ignore what fans are saying and wanting I am starting to think they are trying to sabotage the show. Good Luck to Michael and I look forward to seeing him in his next project.

  3. Not happy about it, he was not being utilized in the way he deserved.. Very talented, sexy and charismatic. I was hoping that he would have better opportunities with the writer change. He will be missed. One if the reasons I started watching GH full time after OLTL .

  4. Bring him back !!! Maybe Kiki could discover another relative, a look-a-like uncle that can go "meaner and lower" than Ava ever could. Maybe he could team up with Sonny to
    take back Port Charles and take her down. (He knows in his heart that she killed Silas, and that she is the one attacking Sonny) Their battles could be such fun to watch ! Give him a sexy first name, some action scenes and a temper like Caleb. If Morgan gets knocked on his ass a couple times, all the better ! The fans love him and Michael Easton is soooo "good at being bad" !

  5. I miss him very much. He was my favorite on OLTL and I was overjoyed to see him on GH. Since project park never succeeded in raising OLTL from the dead why don't the writers bring back 'John McBain' to GH. the police force there is getting pretty boring they could use a good shake-up and Anna Devane knew him from before when she was a spy. I challenge them to come up with a juicy story for him in the future ( not too far future) !!!

  7. Not happy about it at all. He's a great actor that can play anything good, bad, vampires :) sensitive, loving. Can we sign anything asking him to stay and sign something to have them bring Rebecca back.
