After a year of radio silence, Réal Andrews has finally addressed his departure from General Hospital, confirming what many fans suspected: Marcus Taggert is gone for good. In a heartfelt Instagram video, Andrews acknowledged the fan speculation and expressed gratitude for their support during his on-again, off-again tenure on the soap.
While admitting the news might disappoint some, he framed his exit as leaving “on top,” citing the emotional intensity of his final scenes. He even gave a shout-out to executive producer Frank Valentini for providing him with powerful material, suggesting that Taggert’s breakdown over his daughter’s paternity was a fitting swan song for the character.
But don’t think you’ve seen the last of Réal Andrews. He teased a major new project, calling it “the biggest role of my life” with a top-tier network and creative team.
Details are scarce thanks to an NDA, but Andrews promises it’s a game-changer. If his enthusiasm is anything to go by, this could be something worth keeping an eye on.
