General Hospital News – Cohen’s Thoughts On Leaving The ABC Soap
The 36-year-old actor debuted his role as Dr. Griffin Munro back in 2017. He stayed on the show for three years before his character was written out in March 2019. Good news for his fans, though, as the door was left open for Cohen’s character to return to the soap.
In an interview with TV Insider, Cohen said he had fun playing his character. He tried to explain his decision to leave and said that he’s the kind of person who “gets uncomfortable when he gets comfortable.” So he’s decided to give Griffin a little rest for now. He teased that his character had an open-ended exit.
