General Hospital rumors suggest that more major casting shakeups hit Port Charles in the coming weeks. This news comes fresh after General Hospital fans learned of Steve Burton’s upcoming GH exit. Reportedly, a source has leaked shocking potential General Hospital spoilers and exits. So who is leaving General Hospital? This is what we know…
Two main characters have been rumored to be leaving the iconic daytime drama. These General Hospital rumors have not been confirmed, however, sources claim that the leaked information comes from a reliable source.
General Hospital RUMORS: Eden and Josh?!
Say it isn’t so! Despite coming up on his 8 year anniversary with General Hospital, this believed actor may be on his way out. Reportedly, the latest GH rumors are unconfirmed, but come from a reliable source. The first rumored to exit General Hospital is the lovable and talented Josh Swickard. If Chase leaves, it’s possible that his and Brook Lynn’s marriage will implode. The Willow situation and plans to grow their family have begun to strain their relationship, and they could beheaded for a split. Again, GH news reports and the latest GH comings and goings have not officially reported this rumor.
The second shocking, potential GH exit is the Emmy winning actress Eden McCoy. McCoy has played Josslyn Jacks, daughter of Carly Spencer and Jasper Jacks since she was 12 years old. McCoy made her debut as Josslyn Jacks on October 14, 2015. According to recent General Hospital rumor reports, Eden may be on her way out. Details surrounding McCoy’s rumored GH exit have not yet been revealed or confirmed. However, speculation the the WSB will lead Josslyn out of Port Charles. This way the door can be left open for her potential return. Again, Eden McCoy’s GH exit has not been confirmed and remains in rumor status.
The latest General Hospital Comings and Goings: Maxie returns to GH! General Hospital news reports confirm Kirsten Storms returns to General Hospital the week of February 9, 2026. Kirsten‘s return debut airs on Thursday, 2-12-26.
Although Storms returns to the canvas as Maxie Jones this week, that doesn’t mean Maxie is out of the woods just yet. Reportedly, General Hospitalspoilers revealthat Felicia (Kristina Wagner) and Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) make a decision about Maxie’s care. They now have the option to bring Maxie home to GH. Having Maxie remain at the long term care facility is the alternative. Evidently, Felicia and Spinelli decide to bring Maxie home to GH. She’s obviously on the mend, but she’s not out of the woods yet.
General Hospital rumors hint that things won’t be easy for Maxie once she wakes up from her coma. Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Nathan (Cesar Faison) are about to do Maxie dirty as her bestie and husband by default hook up. She struggles with her heart- torn between Spinelli and Nathan. And what’s worse is that Nathan wants Lulu now anyway, and Nathan may not even be Nathan! What if Nathan is really Peter (Wes Ramsey)?!
General Hospital: Kirsten Storms Returns to General Hospital as Maxie Jones
General Hospital fan favorite, Kristen Storms announced her GH departure in late Summer of 2025. She was last seen onscreen as Maxie Jones in August. Reportedly, Storms took a break from her GH role while she moved to Tennessee, and got settled in with her daughter, Harper Rose Barash. Six months later, Kirsten Storms returns to General Hospital as Maxie Jones.
Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) is very much loved around Port Charles. Her family and friends are doing what they can to ensure that Maxie’s children are well cared for and loved as they wait out their mom’s medical crisis. After what seemed like a fluke incident, Maxie fell ill while on set of Home an Heart. Since then, she’s been in a coma just like her bestie Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins)! We all know that Maxie’s condition is no fluke… but the inner workings of Sidwell’s calculated stratagem.
Maxie’s husband Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) is back from dead- and so is her ex-fiancé, and Nathan’s brother, Peter August (Wes Ramsey). Their sister Britt Westbourne mysteriously returned from the dead as well. Coincidence? I think not.
Since Sidwell is connected to Faison’s final project, and he targeted Maxie, and Maxie has a child with both Nathan and Peter… then it’s safe to say that Sidwell finds Maxie’s connection to Faison’s son’s a big problem.
According to a recent Instagram post, Kirsten is back on set, filming scenes. She took a snapshot selfie in her dressing room mirror with a caption that revealed her GH status. Kirsten Storms returns to General Hospital after a six month break, and there’s so much in store for Maxie!
General Hospital: Is Cameron Mathison Leaving General Hospital?
All of the ups and downs and twists and turns of Drew and Willow’s relationship has GH fans questioning what’s next. Now that Willow is a little psycho bride, she has Drew right where she wants him. Is Cameron Mathison leaving General Hospital after Willow stuck him with a syringe, and caused him to suffer a debilitating stroke?
Many are torn on how the feel about what’s happened to Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison). For the past two years or so, Drew has been one of the most hated characters, and one of the most despised Port Charles residents by rest of the city. As a Congressman, Drew is a public figure. Back when he was elected he had his family’s support, and the Quartermaine family was proud to back him. But things have taken quite a different turn since then. And none of the changes have been good. Despite his nasty demeanor, mixed feelings surfaced about whether or not anyone really cares if he lives or dies. Drew may be a real a-hole, but what Willow has done is undoubtedly disturbing.
Is Cameron Mathison Leaving GeneralHospital?
Congressman Cain’s medical condition has GH fans wondering about Cameron Mathison’s status with the Soap. According to the latest GH comings and goings reports, Google search results produce contradictory information. Despite the AI Overview section that states Mathison is leaving General Hospital, that’s not the case. Actually, no sources confirm Mathison’s GH exit. However, Soap Opera Digest confirms that there are no plans for GH to send Mathison packing. Drew Cain doesn’t die, and he isn’t going anywhere in the near future.
Detective Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) came through for Rocco (Finn Carr) and his family in a big way. After Rocco was assaulted in lockup, Nathan did what he felt was necessary to ensure Rocco‘s safety. He went above his superiors and made the decision to take Rocco into his custody. The born again Detective even risked reprimand from ADA Turner. Needless to say, Lulu (Alexa Havins) was beyond grateful.
Nathan’s connection to Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) hasn’t changed his friendship with Lulu. Despite being Britt’s brother, Nathan and Lulu have no beef between them. Lulu sees Britt as a threat to her relationship with Rocco, and Doran trust her around her son. There’s obvious tension and animosity among Rocco’s parents, and the woman who stole their embryo.
So how will Britt feel if her brother Nathan gets closer to Lulu Spencer? Recent General Hospital rumors tease that while as Nathan and Lulu get closer, they receive backlash for their developing relationship. Perhaps Lulu’s ability to compartmentalize the different relationships in her life while Britt expresses her disapproval.
According to General Hospital rumors, Britt isn’t the only one to disapprove of a Nathan and Lulu romance. Does the name Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) ring a bell? How would Lulu’s bestie feel about Lulu getting involved with her ex-husband? And he’s only an ex because he was presumed dead, not because they ended their marriage. Do you think Maxie will have a problem if her bestie and her ex-husband are romantically involved by the time she wakes up from her coma?
Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) remains in jail after unlawfully accessing and trespassing inside Professor Dalton’s (Daniel Goddard) research lab. General Hospital recaps recall that things got out of hand when Dalton lied. Sonny wasn’t going to stand for Dalton framing Rocco. ADA Turner focuses on Sonny now that Dalton is missing.
Coming up on General Hospital, Rocco’s family continues to work towards his release. Certain family Emmett’s have their own unique way of getting things done- especially when family is at risk, or in any kind of danger. Right now, Rocco is behind bars for something he sort of did. He may have broken into the lab with Britt’s stolen key fob, but he definitely didn’t destroy Dalton’s lab.
Meanwhile, Rocco’s grandparents, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Laura Collins (Genie Francis) are harboring a secret that’s pivotal to Rocco’s case. Now that Dalton is “missing” Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) must navigate the situation differently. She knows how angry Sonny is, especially after Rocco got roughed up in jail. Was Sonny’s threat enough for Justine to make it a point to nail Sonny for Dalton’s murder?
General Hospital: Mayor Laura Collins Wins PC Election
Well, the people of Port Charles have spoken and the votes are in. The Port Charles Mayoral race was called, and Laura Collins was crowned the victor. Despite all of her doubts, and Congressman Drew Cain’s (Cameron Mathison) conviction, Laura beat Ezra Boyle. Now, Measure C won’t pose a threat when it comes to moving Sonny out and Sidwell in. Dalton’s death changes everything for Laura!
General Hospital recaps highlight Drew’s smug conviction, Laura’s win, and Dalton’s death. Coming up on General Hospital, Laura faces uncertain times. She threatened Dalton publicly, and now she may face some serious and undeserving consequences.
According to recent GHrumors, Laura finds Dalton’s body after being shot and killed by a Sidwell. After her public threat that things won’t “end well” for Dalton, is Laura accused of his murder? Her connection to PC mobster doesn’t help the situation, and accusations run wild.
Will the public view Sonny and Laura as partners in crime?
General Hospital: Daniel Goddard’s GH Exit Confirmed
Somtimes a little birdie tells us far in advance when a character is going to die. Likewise, that also goes for when an actor leaves the show. Then, there are other times when he audience has no indication of if and who is next to meet their daytime demise. Finally, sometimes GH fans have a hunch. We begin to speculate and suddenly General Hospital rumors run wild. This time, GH fans kind of saw Daniel Goddards’s GH exit coming in the past days. And sure enough, Professor Dalton is shot dead.
In case you missed the 11-19-25 episode of General Hospital Dalton got wasted, had an interesting encounter with his PCU students, showed up at Sidwell’s and was shot dead right in front of Britt. Now they Dalton is dead what does this mean for Rocco … and Laura?! According to the latest GH spoilers for 11-20-25, Laura makes a frightening discovery! Could she be the one to find Dalton’s dead body? GH rumors tease that Laura may even be accused of killing the naughty professor. Perhaps Laura’s public slap and threat could lead to her downfall.
The latest General Hospital comings and goings reports confirm Daniel Goddard’s GH exit. His time on GH was short lived, but his character’s death is a gateway to revealing more about Sidwell’s research, and how Britt is fomented toBe sure to check out Daniel’s project, dysko.ai, bringing like minded people together.
General Hospital: Sofia Mattsson’s GH Exit- When Will Sasha Return to Port Charles?
The lights in Port Charles shine a little less bright since Sasha left with baby Daisy. On July 18th, GH’s Sofia Mattson, and Executive Producer Frank Valentini confirmed the actress’s exit as Sasha Gilmore Corbin.
According to General Hospital news, Sofia Mattsson returned to her hometown shortly before her GH exit was announced. Reportedly, Mattsson shared a photo of herself back home in Stockholm, Sweden on July 12. That was just 6 days prior to confirming her departure after 7 years of playing Sasha. Thankfully, Frank Valentini made mention that Mattsson is open to reprise her role as Sasha down the road.
Will Sasha and Daisy ever return to Port Charles? Right now Sasha remains in the dark about the disturbing events that happened with baby Daisy. Mistakenly, it’s believed that Sonny’s world was targeting his son Michael Corinthos’s newborn baby as a warning.However, there has been a new revelation since Jason brought Sasha and Daisy to her father, Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers).
The latest General Hospital recaps recall that Michael realized that the person messing with Daisy was Willow! Apparently, Michael finds Willow more dangerous than if the Five Families mobsters used his baby to threaten Sonny. Meanwhile, Sasha and Daisy get to spend precious time bonding with Robert.
Sofia Mattsson Hints At Sasha’s Return
General Hospital’s Sofia Mattsson (Sasha Gilmore) on Instagram

Evidently, in Sofia’s photo caption she says goodbye “(for now 😜).” It sounds like the beloved actress as intentions to someway bring Sasha back to Port Charles. Until then, best of luck to Sofia, and we can’t wait to see her on GH again!
General Hospital’s Kirsten Storms Addresses GH Exit News
Just like your parents, General Hospital fans pick favorites. They know who they love to watch frolic around Port Charles, and can even become territorial over who plays the role. I’ll be honest, I do feel like certain actors are absolutely irreplaceable in their roles. But more often than not, the recast ends up growing on me. But there is no doubt that some actors have made their role so iconic that it’s unimaginable to think of a recast.
For me, one in particular is Kirsten Storms as Maxie Jones. Aside from a temporary recast from time to time, Kirsten Storms IS Maxie Jones. Although Storms did not originate the role, she has 20 years under her belt as the vibrant, beautiful, and fin, business-savvy, fashion icon.
Aside from the occasional temp, Maxie is one character who I can’t see anyone play except for Kirsten. So the recent news surrounding Storms’s GH status Earlier this month word that Kirsten was leaving GH hit social media. General Hospital rumors began to fly about the who, the what, the when, and the why. So, Kirsten addressed her GH exit in a video message to fans.

Most importantly, General Hospital news and spoilers report that Storms also assures GH fans that she is still under contract, and will return after her break. She went into a bit of detail about her break from General Hospital, and revealed that she is moving to Tennessee!
Rest assured that this news has no bearing on her future status with General Hospital in fact, Kirsten praise executive producer Frank Valentini, the writers, and all those involved in granting her request to take a break while she packs up and moves to Tennessee. Despite the long distance, Kirsten will remain on contract with General Hospital as Maxie Jones for the foreseeable future.
GH News: No Recast! Storms reveals that there will be no replacement for Maxie when she’s gone- which can only mean one thing- Maxie is written out for a while, but not without a grand exit.
