Actor Kate Mansi is bowing out of โGeneral Hospitalโ after three years in the role of Kristina Corinthos Davis.
Itโs understood that Mansiโs final episodes will air in June.
News of Mansiโs departure was first reported Sunday by Soap Opera Network and confirmed by soap journalist Stephanie Sloane with comments from with Mansi and โGeneral Hospitalโ executive producer and showrunner Frank Valentini.
Mansi joined โGeneral Hospitalโ in 2023 after a nine-year run on NBCโs โDays of Our Lives.โ On โGeneral Hospital,โ she stepped into a role that had previously been played by Lexie Answorth.
Mansi was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award last year for her work on โGeneral Hospital.โ She won a Daytime Emmy in 2017 for playing Abigail Deveraux on โDays of Our Lives.โ She has directed two episodes of โGeneral Hospitalโ during her time on the show.
Mansi told Sloane that it was her decision to leave the show at the end of her current contract. She described her time on โGeneral Hospitalโ as having โbeen such a meaningful and unforgettable ride. Iโve loved being a fiery Corinthos-Davis girl in such a phenomenal family.โ
In a statement, Valentini asserted, โWe love Kate and support her decision to leaveโ and suggested that she would be welcome back. โThe door is always open and we appreciate all that she has added to the show these past three years,โ he said.
Mansiโs other credits include the Amazon/Freevee drama series โCasa Grande,โ which aired in 2023, and was followed by a โCasa Grandeโ film that debuted earlier this month on Prime Video.
