The cast of General Hospital is currently on their summer hiatus — but instead of jetting off to some tropical destination, Kin Shriner (Scotty) is spending his downtime recovering from an operation!
The actor revealed in a Twitter/X video on July 1 that he was at Valley Presbyterian Hospital in Van Nuys, CA. “This looks like General Hospital,” he noted, sharing a video of the hospital hallway. “I’m here for another foot surgery!”
Thankfully, all seemed to go well and the daytime veteran was recuperating at home the next day. In a follow-up post, Shriner shared another video — this time from his living room, where he was binge-watching old movies and joked in the caption of his post that maybe he’d even watch Scotty on GH ! “Thank God for TCM,” Shriner said of the Turner Classic Movies channel. “I had my foot surgery yesterday, so I watched [Airport] I, II, and III. So, I’ll be watching movies for a while.”
As Shriner indicated, this is not the first time that he’s had to have a medical procedure on a lower limb. In fact, five years ago, in June 2019, the actor hurt his foot in a boating accident, an injury that required a four-hour surgery to repair. During his recovery, Shriner was unable to walk and needed to use a knee scooter, so Scootie… uh, Scotty… zoomed around Port Charles on a scooter as well for a while.
This time around, the actor is once again relying on a knee scooter to aid in his mobility. “Not a Vespa, but I can look at it!” joked the star, known for his penchant for the Italian luxury motorized scooter brand.
Shriner didn’t divulge if his alter ego would once again be riding a knee scooter but did share that he wasn’t expected to be off his feet for too long. “[In] a few weeks, I’ll be back in business!” he insisted.
Please join us in wishing Shriner a speedy recovery!
