Earlier this week chaos ensued after General Hospital’s Parry Shen (Brad Cooper) posted on Facebook, eluding to an exit for his character Brad Cooper. General Hospital news outlets immediately reported confirmation that Parry Shen was leaving General Hospital as Brad Cooper. Shortly after, fans started commenting, questioning Parry if he was joking or not in his message to fans. Shen replied cryptically, implying he was indeed joking around, but never confirming. After no word from Shen on social media other than him deleting his original Facebook post, fans started to speak out and question his silence. After a few days of silence on social media, today Parry has finally spoken out, clearing the air from all the confusion. He sent out a few tweets explaining the situation. He explained his silence was due to the fact he was not allowed to say anything before today’s episode aired.
In his tweets he confirms his character Brad isn’t going anywhere but wasn’t allowed to disclose until today’s scenes aired. Take a look at his explanation in the tweets below.
But what was NOT an expert use was assuming my comment about an article regarding Brad’s demise on my FB wouldn’t be taken out of context and blown outta proportion like a game of telephone gone wrong.

Chris Evans technically did. If I was really leaving, I wouldn’t plagiarize someone else’s farewell. But I couldn’t clarify until today’s show aired. And I always get so bad that this cat got spankes on Tom & Jerry.
