General Hospital Star Michael Easton Opens Up About His Painful Ending

Actor Michael Easton, who played Finn on the hit ABC soap, recently opened up about the show’s decision to write out his character. And let’s just say that he’s been feeling very somber about it. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.

Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, Michael weighed in on his character’s exit arc. And while he has had a colorful soap opera career so far, he’s grown particularly close to his fictional character of Finn.

Michael put it this way, “I saw Trevor [St. John, who recently wrapped his run on Young and Restless as Tucker, and who played Todd/Victor opposite Easton on OLTL] the other day and we were talking about that.”

General Hospital News: Saying Good-Bye To Finn One Last Time

“We were reminiscing about you when you first started out [as an actor], you got a job, maybe you did a guest star role and you got three days, then maybe you shot a [prime-time] pilot and then maybe you got a series that went 10 episodes and you got three or four months of work, or maybe you got a series that did a whole year and you did a whole nine months somewhere.”

He also said that at times, playing a soap opera character can weigh in on your own emotions.

Michael said, “I’m falling in love with this person. This person is dying on me. I’m saying good-bye to this person.’ You trick yourself, but somewhere in your heart, you feel a little of that, right?”

“You’ve got to correct yourself and go, ‘Wait a minute. We’re just working today.’ And if you do that for a long period of time, there are some layers to it.”

“It is tricky to say good-bye to characters that you’ve played for a while. I am thankful to the writers and producers for letting me work on the way out the door and let me have that [exit arc].”
