General Hospital actions questioned by fans

During the 2o22 Valentine's Day episode on General Hospital, astute viewers took note that the ABC soap showcased 3 characters that had not been involved in current storylines, Since the time was taken to utilize these actors some fans were hoping they would be seen around Port Charles a lot more but it never happened. We are now in the month of April and Felix Dubois (Marc Anthony Samuel), Terry Randolph (Cassandra James), and Chet Driscoll (Chris Van Etten) have not been in an episode since February 14.

Fans are wondering why Felix suddenly appeared and went out for drinks with Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) as if they had been hanging out together in recent months. Terry went to a bar to meet a date who turned out to be annoying but hit it off with Chet. Fans hoping that a romance was coming were disappointed when there was no follow-up of the event.

Nothing has been mentioned regarding any of these characters and Cassandra is the co-chief of staff with Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud). Dr. Westbourne mentioned her partner last week but she was never shown, There is no indication that Felix, Terry, or Chet will be back in action in Port Charles anytime soon but each has made their own mark on the ABC soap.

General Hospital actors are living their truth

Dubois has said in interviews that he pushed for Felix to not be the stereotypical gay guy who was only around for hsi sassy tongue and comic relief. He is proud the character has evolved over the years since he joined the cast in 2012.

The actor is a gay man portraying a gay character and said that initially there were General Hospital fans who did not like Felix. Samuel says the overall sentiment has been positive, and that an individual's sexual orientation should have nothing to do with their ability to play a role. GH viewers could get to know Dubois even better if he were on screen on a regular basis and not just during the annual Nurses Ball.

Cassandra James is a transgender woman who was born a man just like her character Terry who as a boy gave Liz Webber her first kiss. James has been outspoken in representing her community and took it personally when former General Hospital cast member Ingo Rademacher posted what some considered to be a post that was anti-transgender. Rademacher said it was not his intention to offend but James responded with "When you come for one of us you come for all of us."

In 2012, Atkinson was a soldier in the Afghan war when he was patrolling and stepped on an IUD ( improvised explosive device ). He became a double-amputee who lost both of his legs on June 13, 2012, The actor uses prosthetics and has continued moving forward. On General Hospital as Chet he brings awareness to the issues of war veterans so like his Valentine's Day cohorts Chris brings something unique to the table.

Fans wonder what's next for these actors

General Hospital viewers are wondering why these talented actors were showcased on February 14 only to be sidelined again. Fans want to know if James, Dubois, and Van Etten will be back and if there is a reason they are not being used? Are the GH execs uncomfortable having a gay man, transgender woman, and a double amputee on-screen full time, or has there been continued backlash from bigoted fans?

If there is a logical reason for the Valentine's Day episode and then nothing more General Hospital viewers want to know. If this is all a coincidence and the three aforementioned actors are simply busy with other projects their followers deserve to know. Be o fn the lookout for General Hospital spoilers and updates related to Cassandra James, Marc Anthony Samuel and Chris Van Etten. Will Chet and Terry become an item and will Felix find love in Port Charles? Stay tuned to find out.
