That\u2019s all she wrote for General Hospital leading lady Kate Mansi as Kristina \u2014 at least for now. As the Emmy winner completes her initial three-year contract with the ABC soap \u2014 she made her debut in 2023, you\u2019ll recall \u2014 she\u2019s about to exit stage left, SoapSteph\u2019s Soap Dish<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

The reason? Though the Days of Our Lives alum has been warmly embraced as Alexis and Sonny\u2019s trouble-magnet daughter, she needs to be able to travel, she told the site, as husband Matt McInnis<\/a> is working on a series overseas. On top of that, she wants to develop new projects of her own and \u201cstep into new adventures.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"ETHAN<\/p>\n

Per the report, Mansi finished taping back in April but will continue to be seen on air for at least a little while longer (into June, even). But in Tuesday\u2019s episode<\/a>, Kristina is on the receiving end of big news \u2014 presumably news that will prove to be massive enough to take her away from Port Charles.<\/p>\n

Off and on from 2011-20, Mansi slayed as Days of Our Lives\u2019 ill-fated Abigail, along the way winning the 2017 Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress. In 2023, she took over the General Hospital role of Kristina, which had previously been held by Lexi Ainsworth and Lindsey Morgan.<\/p>\n

Many a fan has been hoping that, now that Nathan Dean is back on the show as Ethan, his flirtatious relationship with Kristina might continue. But if it\u2019s going to \u2014 in the immediate future, anyway \u2014 it\u2019s gonna have to be with a recast in the role.<\/p>\n

In the long run, though, Mansi could always return to the fold. Executive producer Frank Valentini told the website that \u201cthe door is always open\u201d for the MVP to come back. Here\u2019s hoping!<\/p>\n
