Why Is Kate Mansi Leaving 'General Hospital'? She Explains and Shares Photo From Final Day as Kristina (Exclusive) - TV Insider

After three years as Kristina Corinthos-Davis on General Hospital, Kate Mansi has chosen to exit the role. “I’ve made the very difficult decision to leave General Hospital,” Mansi told me in my newsletter. “I have a few new projects that require my full attention, and with my husband currently producing a series filming primarily abroad, I needed the flexibility to travel while continuing to develop and work in Los Angeles.” Mansi joined GH in 2023 after an Emmy-winning run as Days of Our Lives‘s Abigail. Over her three-year run, her storylines included serving as a surrogate for her sister Molly Lansing (Kristen Vaganos) and T.J. Ashford (Tajh Bellow), a pregnancy that ultimately ended in the baby’s tragic death following a fiery confrontation with Ava Jerome (Maura West). Mansi received a Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in 2025 for her work in that storyline. Get an exclusive look at Mansi’s final day on set below: Kristina also embarked on an ill-fated romance with Allie Rogers (a.k.a., Blaze, Jacqueline Grace Lopez), and ran the recently reopened Charlie’s pub. Mansi is especially proud of the emotionally rich material she was able to explore through Kristina. “When Frank first approached me about the role, two things deeply resonated with me: the opportunity to show my support for the queer community by playing an LGBTQ+ character, and to help tell an endometriosis storyline,” she reflects. “Together, I truly feel we honored both of those stories in a way that mattered. And the fact that I got to direct was simply the icing on the cake! Now, it feels like the right time for both Kristina and me to step into new adventures.” She adds she’s deeply appreciative of the opportunities she had in Port Charles. “I’m incredibly grateful to Frank, ABC, and our writers for the care they gave Kristina,” she says. “It’s been such a meaningful and unforgettable ride. I’ve loved being a fiery Corinthos-Davis girl in such a phenomenal family.” Executive Producer Frank Valentini says, “We love Kate and support her decision to leave. The door is always open, and we appreciate all that she added to the show these past three years.” The show has no plans to recast.
