Adrian Anchondo as Marco Rios

In March 2026, Adrian Anchondo’s character, Marco Rios, was written off following a fatal stabbing at the hands of Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).

The actor, who joined the soap just a year prior, told TV Insider that there were “signs” in August 2025 that Marco might not make it.

“I tried to ignore them, but it did make me feel like it was less a question of if and more of when and how it would happen,” Anchondo said. “So, I just tried to give it my all.”

He continued, “All I could do is be kind and giving to the people I worked with and know that I have no control and that I can’t take it personally."

Andrew Hawkes as Ross Cullum

Not long after his character killed Marco, Hawkes’ character also died.

In a July 2026 episode, Ross died in a shooting — bringing the actor’s brief stint on General Hospital to an end.

However, he’d come back from the dead “in a heartbeat” if the opportunity presents itself.

“It’s been one of the greatest experiences of my career,” Hawkes told Soap Opera Digest at the time. “It’s one of the things I’m most proud of and have had the most joy in doing.”

Ryan Paevey as Cassius Faison

Ryan Paevey surprised fans when he returned to Port Charles in September 2025, seven years after his character, Nathan West, was killed off.

But his role as Nathan’s twin brother, Cassius Faison, was always supposed to be short-lived, and the actor exited General Hospital once again in July 2026, per Soap Opera Digest.

But this time, his character wasn’t killed off. Though Cassius was injured during the shootout that killed Ross, he survived and was offered a job by WSB director Z (John Oliver). The ambiguous ending means that the door is open for Paevey to return.
