Kate Mansi confirmed she will exit General Hospital, ending her role as Kristina Corinthos-Davis after her last day of filming in April. The 38-year-old cited new projects and the need to support husband Matt McInnis as he produces a series primarily abroad.
Kate Mansi knew her time on General Hospital had reached its last page when her final day of filming arrived.
The actress, 38, has confirmed she will exit the daytime soap opera. In an interview published Sunday, May 24 by SoapSteph’s Daytime Dish, she said her run as Kristina Corinthos-Davis ended last month, when her last day of filming occurred.
“I’ve made the very difficult decision to leave General Hospital,” Mansi told the outlet.
Mansi said the choice came down to timing—her schedule and her life at home. She explained that new projects required “full attention,” and that she also needed to support her husband, Matt McInnis. With McInnis “currently producing a series filming primarily abroad. ” she said she needed the flexibility to travel while continuing to develop and work in Los Angeles.
Before the interview moved into what comes next, Mansi made sure the goodbye was personal. “I’m incredibly grateful to Frank [Valentini. the show’s executive producer]. ABC. and our writers for the care they gave Kristina. ” she said. “It’s been such a meaningful and unforgettable ride. I’ve loved being a fiery Corinthos-Davis girl in such a phenomenal family.”.
Valentini, 63, also responded to her departure, saying he was happy for her next chapter. “We love Kate and support her decision to leave. The door is always open, and we appreciate all that she added to the show these past three years,” he told the outlet.
Mansi joined General Hospital in 2023, bringing with her a career many daytime fans recognize instantly. She rose to fame as Abigail Deveraux on Days of Our Lives from 2011 to 2020.
In the same interview, she looked back at why she originally wanted to join General Hospital’s cast. When Frank approached her about the role. she said “two things deeply resonated” with her: the chance to show her support for the queer community by playing an LGBTQ+ character. and the opportunity to help tell an endometriosis storyline. “Together, I truly feel we honored both of those stories in a way that mattered.”.
She concluded, “Now, it feels like the right time for both Kristina and me to step into new adventures.”
Through her explanation and Valentini’s response. the exit lands with a clear shape: she is leaving after three years. but the way she framed it—family needs. new work. and a sense of completion—suggests the decision wasn’t about burnout or conflict. It was about what fit the moment she’s in now. and what Kristina’s next chapter can make room for.
