General Hospital Spoilers: Kin Shriner Breaks Silence on Scotty’s Disappearance – Says He No Longer “Fits In”?
General Hospital spoilers and updates reveal Kin Shriner is addressing his absence from the ABC soap as Scotty Baldwin. Two years after his last GH appearance, he answered a fan’s question on X, formerly known as Twitter, stating “I don’t fit in there”.
Kin First Joined The General Hospital Cast In 1977
Kin Shriner has had a tumultuous relationship with GH, making several comebacks since he first joined the cast in 1977. However, it seems that his latest departure is likely to be permanent.
The last time viewers saw Scott was in the episode aired on August 16, 2024, where his attempt to safeguard the pharmacist who had altered Sonny Corinthos’s (Maurice Benard) bipolar medication ultimately backfired, prompting him to flee to protect himself.
Recently, on July 30, Scott was mentioned when his daughter, Serena Baldwin (now portrayed by Kelly Kruger), returned to Port Charles and disclosed that her father was “living his best life in Key West.” This was a nod to Shriner’s real life domicile, where his twin brother, comedian Wil Shriner also lives.
Kin Shriner’s Devoted Fanbase Has Consistently Pushed For His Return
Despite Shriner’s devoted fanbase consistently pushing for his return, there has been a surge of interest following Serena’s arrival.
As fans watched her rekindle her relationship with her mother, Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring), the absence of her father became increasingly noticeable, leaving many wishing she could enjoy the presence of both her parents in her life.
Meanwhile, on X, Shriner has been actively engaging with his supporters, sharing nostalgic photos from his extensive career and providing updates about his life in Florida, where he currently resides.
Besides appearing on General Hospital, Kin as Scott was a major part of the spinoff “Port Charles” ahead of its vampire arcs with Michael Easton as Caleb Morley.
Scott Baldwin Is One Of The Legacy Characters Of The ABC Soap And Starred In Many Iconic Scenes
Scott Baldwin is one of the legacy characters of the ABC soap, and starred in many iconic scenes. Right now, unless you count his daughter Serena, there is only one Baldwin character.
And that is Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst), Audrey Baldwin’s (Rachel Ames) granddaughter and formerly Scott’s daughter in law through his late son Franco Baldwin (Roger Howarth).
One of the most famous scenes was when Scotty ran after Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) and Laura Collins (Genie Francis) got married-he was quite upset he lost his young wife to the scoundrel Luke!
As to exactly why Kin feels he no longer fits into the General Hospital canvas, he seems to be referring to himself, not to Scotty-but he has expressed not feeling wanted there.
