- Kate Mansi is exiting "General Hospital" after a three-year run as Kristina Corinthos Davis, with her final episodes set to air in June.
- Soap Opera Network first reported the departure Sunday, confirmed by journalist Stephanie Sloane with comments from Mansi and executive producer Frank Valentini.
- Mansi joined "General Hospital" in 2023 after a nine-year stint on NBC's "Days of Our Lives," stepping into a role previously played by Lexie Answorth.
- Mansi earned a 2024 Daytime Emmy nomination for "General Hospital" and won a 2017 Daytime Emmy for "Days of Our Lives"; she also directed two GH episodes during her tenure.
- Mansi told Sloane the exit was her own decision at the end of her current contract, calling the experience "such a meaningful and unforgettable ride."
- Valentini affirmed "the door is always open" for Mansi's return, saying the show "love[s] Kate and support[s] her decision to leave."
Why it matters: Daytime soaps rarely get clean, contract-end exits with the showrunner's blessing — Mansi's departure is exactly that, with Valentini publicly leaving the door open. The vacancy leaves 'General Hospital' to recast or write out the Kristina Corinthos Davis role, a character tied to the show's central Corinthos family.
