In an exciting update for his fans, Michael Easton, best known for portraying Dr. Hamilton Finn on General Hospital, has teased some thrilling new projects on the horizon.

After his abrupt departure from the show in June 2024, Easton fans were left heartbroken, but it seems that the actor has exciting new ventures in store. Recently, Easton shared

a cryptic message on social media, along with fresh headshots, hinting at a fresh new project that has him energized and ready for what’s next.

Michael Easton’s exit from General Hospital was a shock to many, particularly fans of his portrayal of Dr. Finn. Finn’s character, initially tough and distant, evolved into a beloved figure as he developed a tender relationship with his daughter, Violet Finn. Viewers were deeply invested in his journey, making his sudden departure all the more emotional for fans who had followed his progression since his introduction. However, it seems that Easton is ready to leave behind the world of Port Charles and embark on something equally exciting.

In a heartfelt New Year’s message posted on Instagram, Easton shared his excitement for the future. “Happy New Year! Here’s to a year filled with health and happiness in 2025,” he wrote. “I apologize for my absence over the last few months; I’ve been immersed in a project that I can’t wait to reveal soon.” In addition to this, Easton gave his followers a glimpse into his creative process, explaining that he had recently emerged from “my cave” to take some new headshots — his first in five years. He also gave a shoutout to the photographer, @jacksondavisphoto, for capturing the photos, which he described as “shining” his true essence.

This post sparked a flurry of speculation among fans, with many wondering what project Easton was alluding to. One possibility is that Easton’s graphic novels have piqued interest in Hollywood. He has authored several captivating graphic novels, including the Soul Stealer series, which follows a 3,000-year-old man battling dark forces to find his lost wife, and Credence, a thrilling detective story involving unspeakable evil. There’s a strong chance that one of these stories may have been optioned for adaptation into a film or TV series, with Easton possibly taking the lead role.

In addition to his graphic novel work, there’s also been speculation that Easton could return to Days of Our Lives as Tanner Scofield, a character he briefly portrayed. Alternatively, he might be cast as the lead in a film adaptation of Hollywood Hustle, a novel written by his former General Hospital co-star Jon Lindstrom (Kevin Collins). Given the recent headshots and the cryptic nature of his post, it seems likely that his new project will be a film or TV series, and fans can’t wait to see where Easton’s career takes him next.

Former General Hospital co-stars have expressed their support for Easton’s new journey. Rebecca Budig, who played Hayden Barnes, Finn’s former love interest, and currently stars on The Bold and the Beautiful, shared a warm comment, writing, “Perfect. As always. Happy New Year, Michael.” Another familiar face, Finola Hughes (Anna Devane), who had a romantic connection with Finn, also chimed in with, “Looking great, Michael! Happy New Year.”
