Since Easton’s shocking exit from ABC’s “General Hospital,” rumors have been floating around that since the change in head writers – he could be making a return.  Fans clung to hopes that their pleas and petitions were taken in to consideration and Michael Easton was on his way back to Port Charles.  Michael took to his Facebook page on October 8^th to debunk the rumors and set the record straight.

Easton shared this message with his followers: “MANY HAVE ASKED…Not sure how this rumor got started but I have not been within ten miles of the GH studio since I left in July. There were many questions about a recast or the use of a double but I have no information about any of that and you would have to ask the production. Thank you again for the kind words and for keeping me in your thoughts. Love, Michael.”

It is definitely interesting that Michael also mentioned the rumors floating around about a recast.  Would production dare bring in another actor to play the part after all of the drama that Michael Easton’s exit caused to begin with?  We know that no one is ever really “dead” on the ABC soap opera – but recasting the character would not set well with a lot of GH fans right now.  What do you guys think?  Let us know in the comments below!
