This is so well done by Michael Easton and Jophielle, bravo to you both. I, absolutely felt this.

I'm glad that Finn used real words and didn't fiddle around with metaphors due to Violet's age. I hope this helps parents in real life, similar situation. 😢

That little Jophielle better get an Emmy for that performance! She had my heart ripping in two. Such a great little actor ❤️ ♥️ Hope to see Michael Easton back eventually!

So well done by Michael Easton and Jophielle, This will always be remembered the best!

Michael absolutely killed it, phenomenal job

Emmy-worth performance by Michael Easton. Incredible.

The acting was impeccable and I felt like I was watching a real father daughter saying goodbye. Jophielle and Michael were so so good!

Chase and Brook Lynn were courageous, they did what was best for Violet.

Emmy worthy! Michael Easton

This is the most difficult thing I've ever had to do. Ever! And that's saying something because my job is...was...very difficult. I honestly think I'm going to be gone for a lot longer than three months. Chase, I'm counting on you and Brook Lynn to keep Violet safe, and please tell her every day that I love her!

This sucks!!! Poor Violet . She's without her Mom. Now her Dad 😢😢

I would love to see Michael and Jophielle get nominated for next year's Daytime Emmys! They were wonderful in these scenes.

Poor violet first her mother disappears because of the cassadines. Then her grandfather dies in the house now her dad is leaving. I hope Chase and Brooklyn will give her some stability

I love Michael he has to come back. And Joelle is just too precious

Jophielle made us all cry. She was phenomenal. If she's not nominated next year, I will be upset.

Oh my God this was so sad, I notice Brooklyn and Chase even shred tears,as well as myself. I love Michael Easton acting he is so great. His whole family on GH was wonderful, I truly love their Christmas gathering in 2023. They are the reason why I watch Gh, now that Finn is gone I guess I won’t be watching it every day. Right now all of the story lines are borrowing to me, Finn was the best and they let him go. Best of luck to you Michael Easton, hope to see you on screen again soon. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!

Love Violet, She's been such a strong character this past year

"Can't you stop drinking alcohol?" If anyone has dealt with a family member with alcoholism, this line here just tore into my soul. How many of us have asked this? In our minds, out loud to our loved ones? It's awful and it's a simple question that you can never fully understand why.... This scene was so hard to watch and so well done. Bravo. And to those people still dealing with family members with alcoholism, it's never your fault and hang in there. And if any kids are watching this, I hope you have adults that care about you and love you and cling to them to help you. You'll be okay and be safe!

Broke my heart that scene, so well done by both actors.

That was just so sad me and my mom cried like little babies it was a tearjerker

Violet remembers me of emma drake. Both of them are many young actresses. They deserve an emmy

Little Jophielle is a fantastic actor - her parents have to be so proud!! She is so adorable too

Poor Violet first her mom now her dad

He is such a great actor. This scene was heartbreaking. Hope to see him back soon. 💔

I haven't been a fan of Finn for a long time, but this scene alone makes me sad to see Michael Easton go. He's really capable of bringing it when he's given good material to work with. I wish they hadn't waited until his final days to actually give it to him. I feel similarly here to how I felt when Roger Howarth left. Wasted potential. Jophielle Love also had me in tears for this. She's a very talented young actress.

Wow!!! I’ve been to impatient rehab and let me tell you that was some of the toughest days I ever experienced in my life. I almost lost everything but I still have my marriage and kids with me. 17 years of sobriety. A very powerful segment.

Violet is such a sweet little girl and I love her and wanted to give her a hug so bad❤❤❤❤❤

Heartbreaking 😢😢😢. Hate to see Michael go I watched him clear back on Port Charles.

such a difficult scene to make let alone watch. I balled my eyes out watching. Michael you will be greatly missed.

They need to bring the younger actors Emmy back. Jophielle deserves one

Poor little violet & Chase lossimg Finn

Michael Easton is an amazing actor! ❤ Violet ❤

I just couldn't hold back the tears emmy award

Jophielle should be receiving an Emmy. Girl, you had me all choked up...😢 Well done Love. 🎉👏🏾🥰. Michael Easton will be missed. We hope it's you that comes back in 3 months. Take care. 🙏🏾💕👏🏾

Awesomeness Michael!🎉You will be so messed.

That was such good acting on both of their parts. So sad that Michael Easton won’t be there😅

Omg this is heart breaking bravo to these two outstanding ❤

Those two....💔😢

this scene made me cry...my husband is a recovering alcoholic, 4 years sober, I remember the day he left for treatment and our kids having to say good bye. This scene was powerful in so many ways.

Violet will be loved and cared for tremendously by her Uncle Chase and Aunt Brooklynn . Finn has to dry out and get off the alcohol before he kills himself or anyone else when he is drunk and has blackouts . This is for Violet ‘s sake and Finn’s . FYI : Jonathan Jackson is for sure returning to GH to play Lucky Spencer again!! YAY!! 😁 I’m so ecstatic 🤩 The one and only Original Lucky . Laura ‘s son comes home !! ❤😊

Glad Finn is gonna get the help he need 🙏 💯

So difficult to ACT so well with Child Actors in this type of Scene😢 SO GREAT❤

Heartbreaking and powerful. 😢 Sadly, this happens in real life far too often. Kudos to GH for not glossing over this and big kudos to the actress playing Violet.

😭😭💔💔 very emotional show that seems so real

Oh my gosh I just read that Michael Easton is leaving the show in real life. Nooooooooooo! He's such an incredible actor. Let him take just a 3 month break. We need Finn! I hope he's only leaving because he wants to do something else. What a loss for the show.

Such good acting by all four of them. I’m still crying. Such a sad scene. I hope they bring Michael Easton back. H😮e is an excellent actor. Hope he has another job as he should continue acting. Love watching him❤❤❤❤😢😢😢

Poor Violet & Chase, I Hope That We Will See Finn Again Soon.💯🙏

It's sad that Michael Easton is leaving General Hospital, but hopefully he gets to come back. I'm also hoping they keep Jophielle on the show. She's such an amazing young lady and such an amazing young actress. Please General Hospital don't take her off the show.

I'm not a fan of Finn,but Michael Easton brought his A game today and the young actress 👏👏👏👏👏 Beautiful acting 🤧🤍

I feel so bad for violet she's needs her mamma

💔😢 Have loved Michael Easton since OLTL ❤️ Will miss that beautiful face tremendously 😢 Awesome acting by everyone in this clip, especially Michael and Jophielle 👏👏👏 BRAVO!!!

HOW MANY OF YEARS ILL HAVE WATCHED GH THIS SCENE WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITES

OMG that little girl deserves an emmy her performance was the most touching I'm in tears because of her.

This episode 😢yeah I teared up big time 🤷🏾‍♀️

They made us fall in love with Gregory then took him away, Soaps can be cruel

OMG, the actress that plays violet has come so far as an actor. Her goodbye scene with Finn brought tears to my eyes!!!

Beautiful. 20 years here.

😢 l have watched GH since 84 the same with all the other ABC soaps. I have followed Micheal 's career for approximately 30 years . On the short lived series TWO, One Life to Live, Port Charles, and GH. You will be missed. What a shame GH has let him go. At least Lucky will be coming back in August after a 10 absence. It's only my opinion in coastal Mississippi ❤

😢that was really sad 💔

I would rather have Finn & Violet both leave GH together. Finn could have could accepted a position as Head of Infectious Diseased at Grey's Anatomy Hospital. 🏥

OMG heartbreaking 💔 poor Little Violet 🥺😢😭

“But I can help you stop drinking alcohol.”

It's sad how children have to pay for the mistakes of their parents. People aren't perfect, but if you aren't ready to be a parent, don't make your child pay for your mistakes!

Emmy worthy performance by Jophielle and Michael!

90 days seems better than 3 months

This broke my heart watching this

Poor Violet. Stay strong angel. 💔

Heis leaving the show. Poor little girl

Great acting by Finn. Is he going to be gone from the show for 3 months?

To the person reading this, even though I don't know you. I wish you the best of what life has to offer 🙏🙌😊❤️👋

😭😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤❤

Its sad he left the show😢 i loved watching him be a dad to Violet 🙁

So long Michael

Without saying a word, Jophielle displayed remarkably emotional acting as she stood there crying when Finn was about to go out the door. I am glad she is staying. I think she is the most talented child actor on GH since Jonathan Jackson and Kimberly McCullough.

This was a special episode to say the least... Violet is a special little actress! We luv her! I don't know what anyone can do about Sam ...what in the h*** is she thinking????? Now Dante's job is on the line, Carly is out of control and all because she is so jealous of Jason I guess? Stupid to say the least...please end her reign of crap and Ava's please!!!!!!!!❤❤

Such great acting 👏 great job well done 👏 😅

Michael & Jophielle did a great job with this scene and I love the father daughter relationship that they portrayed if felt like a real relationship between father and daughter will miss Michael on GH but I enjoyed his portrayal of Finn..💞💞

Michael Easton is a fantastic actor! I hope he comes back! His chemistry with little Jophielle is VERY special and believable. Michael needs an Emmy! Please! That being said.....I'm writing a story here that I WISH could of happened...sorry long read, if you wish to take a look. Thoughts and opinions appreciated. Thanks! My wish would have been, To The Powers That Be at GH: 1- Finn driving around drunk (we know he was when he picked up "Barb") He's flipping out about his Dad passing away and his guilt, quitting his job, thinking about Violet, Chase, Elizabeth and unraveling. 2-Sonny, Natalia, Kristina and Blaze having dinner at Sonny's restaurant, Ava crashing the dinner, which did happened. 3-Ava rage driving around aimlessly after getting booted from the restaurant, angry about Sonny and Kristina giving her guff especially in front of Natalia. She's not paying attention to her driving. 4-Blaze leaves with Natalia to go back to their MC hotel rooms, big rehearsal day in the morning. "I do not think staying with Kristina tonight is a good idea Allison. You must be fresh and prepared" says the Mommie Dearest. The two of them then drive away in Natalia's car arguing. 5-Sonny goes with his driver to take Kristina back to her apartment, then Sonny will go back to his penthouse. The three of them drive off as Sonny and Kristina are having a sweet Father/Daughter conversation. Have all the car scenes going back and forth a bit. Then have Finn hit Sonny's limo. Aftermath: Finn injured badly. Sonny's driver killed. Sonny knocked out, also an internal injury of sorts. Kristina has scrapes and cuts and is otherwise ok, but then goes into early labor. Ava finds them. Calls 911. Ava delivers Kristina's/Molly/TJ's baby before help arrives. Fallout: Finn- In critical condition, will survive but will go to physical rehab and addiction rehab, serve time for the driver's death. In otherwards that would easily leave the door open for Michael Easton to come back! Please bring him back!!! Sonny-Needs blood draw for emergency surgery. No one in GH notices his wrong bipolar doseage in his blood. The proof is RIGHT THERE! But it's GH.... Kristina-Is fine. Though the baby is premature and needs surgery. They need TJ's and Kristina's blood being the parents for whatever reason Frank V's medical writing team could of dreamt up. Ava is thanked and in semi good graces by Sonny, Kristina, Alexis, Molly and TJ for delivering the baby and getting 911 to the accident scene fast. Next....Ava is in panic about Sonny's blood draw results being found out. Meantime TJ sees on blood tests that his baby and his own blood type do not match! Shortly after Ava finds and photographs that file, while looking for Sonny's lab results. Ava gets busted looking at that file by TJ so in exchange for Ava's silence TJ "fixes" Sonny's blood test results. Sonny gets back on his regular dosage....and now Ava and TJ have a dirty little secret!

I am totally heartbroken about Michael Easton leaving General Hospital. 😢 I cannot believe they basically killed Finn 💔 Since Michael is not returning. I wonder if a new actor will replace hom or are they planning to actually kill Finn? 🤔🙄😢

Is Finn being recast? This is heartbreaking. Kudos to both actors.

I cried watching this ❤️‍🩹🤧😭🥲

😢😢

Yes

How are they going to explain the character who won’t return in 3,months??? Recast?? I hope not .. Micheal Eastern is a wonderful actor..❤

Going to miss Finn I thought his character added alot of depth to the GH medical staff.

I don't know I've never seen a grown man act like this so This storyline completely blows my mind😂😂😂😂😂

Oh, My God I Can't Believe That I Have To Watch This Emotional Episode. Honestly I Don't Blame Finn For What He Did To Himself And I Know That Is Not An Excuse But He Just Thought He Was Grieving The Right Way But He Wasn't. I Just Can't Believe That This Is Happening Especially To Violet Because She Don't Deserve This And Nor Does Everyone Else But I've Gotta Say That This Storyline Had Me In Tears. I Have To Jophielle Love And Michael Easton We're Spectacular On TV 👏 🙂 😀 🥺 😭 🤧 ♥️🌹💐🍾🍷🥂 🌃 🌠 🌌 ✨️💫

i read that he is coming back

Easton deserved better, Valentini. First rule in storyboard meeting- Speak up when a storyline is not working- don’t allow fans campaigns dictate your choices. The Finn character deserved Steve Hardy status with Liz. Why you did this makes absolutely no sense. Burton’s entrance sacrificed six characters to placate bad plot writing. Finn Drew Valentine Carly Liz Carly now has to do nothing and let Jason take the lead? BS. The Carly character evolved and matured. The moment Jason returns she’s making stupid choices- At 50-plus you cannot play characters like they’re 20! What was the point to all this? Seriously? It’s Carly’s fault now that Jasonnstayed away. Poor Jason… Nope sorry- poor Cameron Mathieson poor Michael Easton. Poor Laura. Poor Becky. Poor Sam. I don’t get a 54 year old character not growing. I. Just. Don’t. As a writer/ ✍🏻 I supposed I wrongly hoped for more? The best move out of this- Tracy as matriarch of the Q-‘s and adopting Jackie Templeton’s family! Make room for Demi now- because eliminating Easton from this group leaves a gaping hole not even Burton can fill- I like Steve. But if Kason is to be a Q again- reverse the brain damage. No 54 year old should be a killer in the mob while raising two boys. It does not work.

I wish AJ told Michael that his Age 20 years ago instead of Finn told his daughter now

I’m sure all those tears were real for both of them and there wasn’t a lot of real acting taking place. They were actually saying goodbye to each other and I’m sure both were already feeling the loss.I’m really hoping Michael Eastman comes back. GH won’t be the same without him. As for Jophielle, I have NEVER seen a child actor as good as her and I’ve been a soap fan for over 50 years. She is AMAZING, TRULY SPECIAL. And what a little doll!

Omg.😭 So well done here.🫡 So glad that it did not take putting VIOLET in mortal danger for FINN to get to this point. All the more reason that this character (and MICHAEL) deserve a return. This relationship should not be abandoned. jmo
