Why is Jophielle Love’s Violet Finn leaving General Hospital?
Jophielle Love is ending her run as Violet Finn in General Hospital. The exit was recently confirmed by Soap Opera Digest.

This means that Violet will have to reunite with his father and leave.
The episode reveals that Hamilton Finn has decided to start a new journey away from Port Charles after being free from alcoholism.

In the episode which aired on October 21, Jophielle Love’s Violet Finn is seen bidding farewell to her aunt and uncle, thus confirming that the actor is leaving General Hospital. During an interaction with Soap Opera Digest recently, Love spoke about the exit, saying, “I was very sad. It was fun to end it with a tea party, which is Violet’s favorite thing to do. But the long good-byes .… so hard. I think I was already crying before they called, ‘Action!'”
Love then recalled the time she joined General Hospital at the age of 5. “When I started, I was 5 years old; I had one or two words per scene.” She further shared that five years later, she was doing “sometimes two and one time even three episodes per day with many, many pages to learn.”
