Kate Mansi Leaves ‘General Hospital’ After Three Years as Kristina Corinthos-Davis

Kate Mansi Leaves General Hospital

The 38-year-old actress, who has been playing Kristina Corinthos-Davis in the long-running show for three years, confirmed she’s not renewing her contract with ABC.

Speaking with journalist Stephanie Sloane, the actress shared that she left the show for a few reasons. “I’ve made the very difficult decision to leave General Hospital,” Kate said. “I have a few new projects requiring my full attention and with my husband [Matt McInnis] currently producing a series filming primarily abroad, I needed flexibility to travel while continuing to develop and work in Los Angeles.”

She further explained, “I’m incredibly grateful to executive producer Frank Valentini, ABC, and our writers for the care they gave Kristina. It’s been such a meaningful and unforgettable ride. I’ve loved being a fiery Corinthos-Davis girl in such a phenomenal family.”

Kate added that when she first approached about the role, two things deeply resonated with her: the opportunity to show support for the queer community by playing an LGBTQ+ character, and to help tell an endometriosis storyline. “Together, I truly feel we honored both of those stories in a way that mattered. And the fact that I got to direct was simply the icing on the cake.”

Now, it feels like the right time for both Kristina and her to step into new adventures.
