‘General Hospital’ Kin Shriner Claims He Doesn’t Plan To Return To GH

Kin Shriner who plays the role of Scott Baldwin on General Hospital (GH) was so believable as a legal eagle that the ABC star almost convinced himself he was qualified. Well, his days of impressing seem to be over and he claims that he doesn’t plan on returning to the ABC show.

Kin Shriner Written Out Of General Hospital

In January 2022, Scott Baldwin who was fond of Liesl Obrecht was written out of the show. General Hospital fans saw that the actor went to Florida. At the time, fans really hoped that he was only temporarily off the show for the holiday season.

There are many characters temporarily written in and out of GH. So, ABC fans wondered when Kin Shriner would return as Scott Baldwin. Then in May of 2023, he tweeted that his character was written out of General Hospital forever. Well, some GH fans took that with a pinch of salt, He previously tweeted about that in 2018, and again in 2022.

In September, more news of the negative kind came in comments to General Hospital fans. More forceful now, the ABC star claimed, “Scott Baldwin gone!!” But not too many people felt worried about it as he has a way of popping back up on screen. 

While some GH fans wrote off at least some absence to the writer’s strike, things sounded grim again in October. The big guns stepped up to talk about Kin Shriner’s non-return. It was former Y & R star Doug Davidson who commented in response to a tweet that Kin made about only the oldies staying in touch. He felt that his friend should  give up on GH and join him in Portugal
