General Hospital
Adrian Anchondo (Marco Rios): Poor Marco succumbed to his gruesome, Cullum-inflicted injuries during surgery last week. In an emotional Instagram post, the actor said farewell to the show, which he joined in March 2025, the actor wrote, “I started this journey with a story about my mother, how she was with me in spirit at my screen test for Marco, hiding in the compact she used to do her make up in while she watched soap operas on the couch. Now, I know she is looking down and proud of me for all the work I’ve done in the past year on one of the best shows ever created.”
Acknowledging that he was “still grieving” in the wake of his departure and Marco’s demise, Anchondo marveled, “I can’t believe the amount of love I’ve received especially in the last few days. I hope I made you proud. To my queer fans, don’t be discouraged, we will keep spreading our love and fighting for that happy ending.” He also thanked the show’s casting director, Mark Teschner, Executive Producer Frank Valentini and GH’s directing team, noting, “You changed my life and I will be forever grateful,” and gave a shout-out to leading man Van Hansis (Lucas) “for holding my hand in more ways than one- you made it easy to fall in love with you.”
