Griffin Munro left General Hospital to work on humanitarian efforts abroad.
Griffin Munro, portrayed by actor Matt Cohen, was a character on the popular American soap opera “General Hospital.” He was introduced as a neurosurgeon and a priest, which made for a unique and complex character on the show. Griffin is the son of Duke Lavery, a significant figure in the show’s history, which added to his storyline’s depth.
Griffin’s time in Port Charles was marked by various relationships and entanglements, including a romantic connection with Ava Jerome and a complicated friendship with Anna Devane, who was his father’s former lover. His character struggled with the balance between his medical career and his religious convictions, often finding himself at the center of moral dilemmas.
In 2019, Griffin Munro left the canvas of “General Hospital” when Matt Cohen decided to exit the show. The character’s departure was explained by his decision to leave Port Charles to do humanitarian work, helping those in need outside of the United States. This exit allowed for the possibility of a future return, as it was not a definitive end to Griffin’s story.
Since his departure, Griffin has been mentioned occasionally, keeping his connection to the town and its residents alive. His exit was handled in a way that was consistent with his character’s altruistic nature, and it left the door open for the actor to reprise his role should the opportunity arise.
