General Hospital just experienced a big casting shakeup after Evan Hofer exited the show on December 13 after his character, Port Charles police officer Dex Heller, was killed off in a shocking twist.

“The tea selection was a little weak,” he amusingly revealed to the outlet, adding “but I brought my own.”
Occasionally, he said, “Finola [Hughes, who plays Anna] and I would compare teas, and when Emma [Samms, who plays Holly] was there, I told her, “Please, if you ever need any teas, I’ve got you.’”
In fact, Emma was so touched by the gesture that she did something sweet before her latest exit: “She left me a lovely gift of tea before she left.”
He also revealed he’d be willing to do daytime TV dramas again: “You know, I think if it’s the the right story and the right character, I’m pretty happy with whatever medium…I’ve loved my time on the soaps. I mean, how lucky am I to be doing something I love? What a privilege, and that’s not lost on me,” he told the outlet.
His on-screen love interest Eden McCoy, who plays Josslyn Jacks on the daytime soap opera, is speaking out about his departure from the TV show.
There’s also been a recasting on the show!
