‘General Hospital’ Actor Reveals Toxic Work Environment

General Hospital has been called out before for having a difficult work environment at times. Kelly Monaco was not afraid to say that there were things happening behind the scenes that caused her firing. She had vowed to share with the world what was happening. However, she changed her mind and so far has not opened up about it in detail. Now, another actor slams the hit daytime drama, revealing reasons for his shocking departure earlier this year. Who is it and what are they saying?

General Hospital Actor Speaks Out Months Later

General Hospital recast one of its characters earlier this year, and rumors circulated online about his departure. Charles Mesure (Jack Brennan) left the show in January and was replaced by Chris McKenna. At the time, there were not a lot of details about why he left. It was noted that it was his decision to leave, but he left it at that.

TV Insider shared details about the recast and Mesure’s exit in February. At the time, Laura Wright (Carly Spencer) wrote on X that it was explained in the article why Mesure left. Fans argued, saying it still never said the reasons behind his decision to leave on his own. Someone noted that his silence spoke volumes.

Now, in October, months later, Mesure is speaking out and revealing the truth about his reasons for calling it quits as Jack Brennan. He replied to the tweet stating that the article first written was not accurate. He said,

“Not true. The “article” completely misrepresents an old and irrelevant interview. In fact, I loved every aspect of the work on GH and loved working with every scene partner. I’m proud of every single scene we did with the Brennan character. However, I hated every aspect of the toxic, borderline sinister backstage politics on GH.”

Mesure didn’t specify exactly what happened to make him feel this way.

The Actor Had More To Say

This wasn’t the only post on X Mesure shared. A fan wrote him and said that some believe he quit because the work was too much. Mesure replied to the fan, saying, “Thank you. My recollection is nailing pretty much every scene in one take, and having fun at the same time, but if anyone wants to push a different narrative, I’d encourage them to be quoted.”

So far, Laura Wright has not commented on his months-later response.

Recently, Chris McKenna, who took over as Brennan, announced that he had been moved to contract status, so it looks like he’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
