In surprising news Michael Easton who plays Silas Clay is leaving “General Hospital.” There have been rumors swirling around the net that a shocking murder would take place in Port Charles soon that would shake up the town.
Many speculated the character would be Silas Clay. The character of Silas never got a lot of screen time – even his kidnapping of baby Avery went unseen – so he would be an easy choice to ax to thin the herd of players at GH. But how to take him out in a shocking manner? Ava could kill Silas when he threatens to spill her secrets, but that’s not too far-fetched. What if Sonny Corinthos [Maurice Benard] killed Silas for kidnapping his daughter and taking her bone marrow?
This morning Daytime Confidential is confirming Michael Easton is leaving “General Hospital.” Michael has played the role of Silas Clay since May 2013. What do you think SOSers are you sad to see the character of Silas gone from GH?

I will be saddened to see Silas go, I loved him as John McBain and was glad to see him come over to GH after OLTL was cancelled. I know he hasn’t much of a role lately but was hoping he would stay. I love him but wish him well
Yes it is sad to see him go they really did not do much with his character 🙁
Such talent has gone to waste. Michael was one of the most popular actors in daytime. He killed it on OLTL as John McBain. He was never given a chance on GH. The character of Silas was ill conceived. He was supposed to be a button downed doctor, very factual and dry. Well, he delivered–we got a button downed doctor who was boring as all heck. Micheal was not given an interesting character, nor asked to deliver any lines other than drivel. The actor cannot re-write the lines (unless it’s Tony Geary). He has to say the lines given. I kept asking myself when the writers would give him something more interesting. Even the Ava dying thing was a muted, somber, boring storyline. If GH keeps getting rid of great actors like him, it’s goodbye from me. Good luck to M. E. He will do so much better elsewhere.
I will be sad when Michael Easton (Silas Clay) leaves. I really liked him. He is a really good actor. I was hoping that him and Sam would get back together, but Jason is back anyways so that leaves him out.
I am very sad that Michael is leaving GH. He is truly a consummate actor of the roles that he portrays. Loved him on OLTL and was excited when he came to GH. I am very sorry that TPTB brought Starr, Todd and John on the canvas in their previous roles. Only wish that they had been given new character personas. Michael is a very talented actor and I am sure we will see him on the screen again soon. Quite the handsome man, and those gorgeous blue eyes…..you can literally swim in….you will be missed sir.!!! Take care and do not forget us.
I agree he will be missed but I am sure he has a great career ahead of him!
Where is he going? I’ll follow.
NO word yet. Once we know I will post.
VERY SAD NEWS. I LOVE MICHAEL! I HAVE FOLLOWED HIM FOR YEARS. HE WILL BE SORELY MISSED BY ME. WILL MISS HIS SULTRY VOICE AND BEAUTIFUL BLUE EYES. GREAT ACTOR! HANDSOME. WE WILL SEE YOU SOON MICHAEL, I KNOW.
??
I will miss him. I Always Wanted Him To Be Happy AND FINA Love He Is A really good looking man.He needs to stay there is to much loss on This show.
It’s probably a good thing for Mr. Easton that he has been let go from this silly soap. Ron Carlivati really screwed up everything with his screwball story lines. I never caught on to the Silas Clay character. They brought over Mr. Easton from OLTL and for what purpose? What has he accomplished in this role? They have had him all over the map with no end goal. He made an excellent vampire. He and Kelly Monaco had awesome chemistry back in the day. Even on OLTL his character had no real teeth. All we ever seen was a dark moody John McBain. Best wishes Michael Easton. Would love to see you in a night time drama of some kind or as a guest star in CSI or L&O. You are a great actor and with the right female you are an awesome lover. 🙂
Why does he have to be killed off? Can’t he just move away? Maybe he could explain his relocation by stating that there is just too much drama in Port Chuck. Then he never has to be resurrected. That leaves the door open to someone else getting murdered.
sad to see him go. they always let the good ones go. just like kiki. what happened to her. i dont like the new one. maybe their is a way to keep silas. but then again they always come back alive. we never know
very sad to see silas go. they always let the good ones go like kiki what happened to her. i hate the new one. they should create a new part for him. But then again if they kill him off they always come back alive.
I don’t mind if he “leaves” but why can’t he come back as he handsome vampire and bring Rafe back with him? THAT would be awesome!
I too love the actor…and hate that they never let silas develop…he and ava so could have rocked the soap but noooooooooooooo they had to have both part of her with her daughter’s boyfriend instead and that is just so wrong
there are many great dramas coming on now in Toronto it’s tim e that he brought his wife home to her family his kids deserve to know her relatives too….
He should confess about kidnapping
Avery to help Ava. Then he should be
Sent to prison. DONT KILL HIM OFF.
Going to miss seeing that gorgeous face and those piercing blue eyes on General Hospital. I watched and have been following him on Loving and One Life to Live, and will continue to follow wherever he lands next!! Best wishes Michael Easton. You are one awesome actor.
I hate to see him leave was hoping for the storyline of him and Nina getting back together
I’m very sad to see Michael leave but he had no story line
Yes it was sad they really did nothing with him.
I love Michael Easton! They should let his crazy brother who we saw wasn’t really dead secretly take over his life. Whoever killed him can’t say anything cause they got rid of his body. It would be so much fun to watch him play at being a doctor and try to win Sam back for his own reasons(he thinks she’s his dead wife). So many possibilities. He would. Rock this story. It’s something Ron would write if they didn’t they messed up big time.
I’m sad to see Michael Easton leave the show. He and Kelly Monaco have great chemistry. I liked the two of them together. I wish that instead of killing the character off, these new writers can somehow resurrect Silas Clay’s role. There’s so many story lines that he can do. Come on GH, get rid of Morgan instead!!!!!!
I am sad about this also! It is their loss. They never gave him much of a chance lately, and he is an awesome actor. I am thinking there will be more to follow, I had a feeling this was going to happen before it did. I am about fed up with that show as it is.
I loved him as the vampire and as John McBain and as Dr. Clay….
Hope to see him on another program soon..
Good Luck Michael
It took me a while to get used to him but I grew to like him. Sad he is leaving. They could have had a real story with him and Ava. I think they were good together. I wish him all the luck. I must say if they want to get rid of a character why not kill franco off. I hate him. He has a very bad attitude towards people and thinks he is the best. He is a scumbag. Silas, I wish you were staying.
IN my heart of hearts i am hoping and thinking that they will bring back John McBain? I sure hope so! He is my very fave on gh! Come on people do this great actor some justice please! Wait a minute, didn’t he put his brother’s ring into his lab coat pocket when he was in the morgue checking out the corps of his brother? Makes you wanna go hmmmm in the middle of the night, huh?
I wish they would bring him back as John McBain once Prospect Park no longer has rights to the OLTL characters. Then Starr and Todd could return, but what to do with Franco?
I hate to see him go. He was one of the few good ones….. Before he leaves’ I hope he spills his guts about Avs, Nina and tells Nikki about her so csllef boyfriend.. Good luck Michael, I will be following you.
I hate to hear Michael Easton’s leaving GH. Another good actor out the door. He was given a boring role
role but I liked him. If he must go I wish he’d
take Kiki with him! She never clicked as the
character and brings nothing to the show. I
wish soaps would bring in replaced actors that are more like the original. The same for Lulu. She’s okay but acts nothing like the last and not believable as Luke and Laura’s daughter.
I hate seeing Michael leaving. I loved his character on Guiding Light with “Natalie”. If he isn’t going to work for General Hospital, I hope he picks up another job with another soap. Best of luck Michael and hope to see you soon on another daytime soap!!
Sorry. His previous daytime soap was Guiding Light but Days of our Lives. I watch several soaps. Days of our Lives and Guiding Light should not have been ended either.
I am so very sorry to see Michael Easton’s character go. Silas Clay was an interesting character. I loved Michael Easton in all of his Soap Opera incarnations from Caleb Morley to Silas Clay. He is a brilliant and so very talented actor and I really do believe he should have had a much bigger role in GH then they gave him. He is also an amazing Poet and Writer, his Graphic novels have won awards, so I know he will fare very well. Will miss seeing him as an actor though. Best of Luck to you Michael Easton.
Will miss that magical raspy voice….
