GH fans last saw Taggert in Port Charles in July 2023. He was involved in a storyline with Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali), where he found out he wasn’t her biological father, as he thought he was since the day she was born.

As such, after the DNA test results came in, he began turning to alcohol. Sadly, the soap didn’t further dive into Taggert’s story, and the actor hopped on an Instagram live and told fans that his “chapter” with GH was over.

He did state it was an “amazing journey” on the live.
