General Hospital has aired in some form since the 1960s, so comings and goings are inevitable. If you're wondering about the prospect of Andrea leaving GH in 2024, here's what you need to know:
Is Andrea Gates Leaving General Hospital in 2024, And Why?
Yes, it has been confirmed that Andrea Gates is leaving General Hospital. Actress Lily Anne Harrison ended her GH stint in 2023 and her character's arc wrapped up with a sad storyline.
In her last General Hospital episode, Andrea Gates, who had gotten pregnant as a surrogate for TJ and Molly, revealed that she had miscarried.
At the time, soap opera websites and viewers speculated on the possibility that Andrea might have lied to either keep the baby for herself or give it to someone who would pay even more, possibly even to the black market.
We cannot know for sure whether General Hospital's creators had such a plotline in mind.
But since Lily Anne Harrison bid the show farewell, we expect that no such story will come to fruition and the subplot will most likely be abandoned.
Right now, Lily Anne Harrison's next project is not officially known, so fans can only speculate as to why she left the soap opera.
Generally speaking, the most common reason why actors leave a still-airing show has to do with schedule conflicts or the desire to work on different projects.
When a show goes on for too long, some actors decide to move on rather than associate their career with a single series, so the prospect of Lily Anne Harrison leaving General Hospital isn't unheard of.
For a never-ending soap opera such GH this is particularly true: the series is no stranger to new arrivals and goodbyes.
