Yesterday, General Hospital Blog shared a rumor that had been flying around, claiming that Michael Easton was leaving General Hospital. As it turns out, that rumor has become true.
Michael Easton joined GH after the fallout of our two beloved ABC soaps, All My Children and One Life to Live. He first came to Port Charles as John McBain, his character’s name from Llanview on OLTL. Due to legal issues between Prospect Park and ABC, ABC was forced to change the OLTL name. With some clever writing, Michael Easton soon became Dr. Silas Clay, with ties to the show, Port Charles.
This morning, Daytime Confidential has confirmed that Michael Easton has ended his character as Dr. Silas Clay on General Hospital.
How do you feel about this breaking news? GH Blog is uncertain if Michael Easton has decided to walk away from GH or if the actor was let go. We will keep you updated with any information related to this story.
