Avery Kristen Pohl joined the General Hospital cast and family back in 2021. As she approached her first year as Esme Prince, Pohl signed another contract. Before long word got out that she had signed a 3 year contract with the Soap Opera.
In the last few years Avery has made lasting friendships with her co-stars, specifically her on-screen nemesis Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali). While it’s true that Esme and Trina aren’t even frenemies let alone friends on screen, Tabyana and Avery have a much different connection. In fact, they aren’t just co-workers or cast-mates, they’re also friends and neighbors in real life.
General Hospital News reports reveal Tabyana Ali speaks out on Avery Pohl’s exit. She addresses their true friendship, and mentions that they live actress from one another. “With Avery, it’s a little different because she lives right across the street from me and I talk to her all the time,” Ali explained. “But I was still like, ‘Dang, I’m not going to see you at work! But I will see you in the neighborhood!’ We talk and hang out frequently, but I hate that I’m not going to see her at work.”
Tabyana continued, “I’ll still call her every day but I am going to miss seeing her at work. The day that Avery left was a very tearful day. We all gave her hugs and flowers and gifts. It was a bittersweet thing.”
Well, GH Blog is right there with the cast when it comes to the tears. Esme is a super fun character and Avery plays every aspect of her immaculately. Her exit is definitely a huge disappointment. Although Esme is presumed dead, hope for her return is very much alive.
