Jophielle Love (Violet Finn) wrote : “There are no words…” with a serious of crying emojis and one broken heart emoji. While Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) said: “The class, grace and elegance in which you just did that is why I will miss you every working day.”
Maura West (Ava Jerome) commented: “MEastie, I am so grateful I had the opportunity to work with you … you are just an exceptional person… as an actor, author, poet, friend. Your ample talent surpassed only by your humor, decency, kindness and charm. Class A1 in every way. xxo your fan and friend forever, MWestie.”
Later, Jon Lindstrom (Kevin Collins) added: "You’re a gift to any set you choose to work on, and an excellent artist no matter where or what you create. Proud to call you my friend Michael. Be seeing you soon."
As the 57-year-old has finished filming his final scenes, Finn on General Hospital has been going through it. He has relapsed and is battling another addiction but this time alcohol. Since Finn found his father Gregory Chase (Gregory Harrison) dead, he has been spiraling.
He ruined his relationship with Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) and his daughter Violet found him drunk, bleeding and unconscious. That discovery led to his daughter being taken away from him by Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) with support from his brother Chase (Josh Swickard) and sister-in-law Brook Lynn Ashton.
Now Finn has agreed to go to rehab for 90 days and asked Chase if he could see his daughter before he goes. The emotional goodbye between the two will be airing on June 27. Fans will have to see how General Hospital wraps up Finn's storyline.
