General Hospital Wiki

The General Hospital Black Hole is a term for when characters disappear for no reason at all. This happens when the writers feel they are useless or when the actor/actress who plays that character quits.

Please don't get this confused with characters who left General Hospital and had a reason. For example, Brook Lynn Quartermaine left to start a focus on music. She would not be included on the list because she left to focus on music. She has since returned and been on contract since 2019.
