Valentin Cassadine leaves General Hospital after emotional goodbye

In the March 24 episode of General Hospital, Valentin Cassadine said an emotional goodbye as he prepared to leave the show. This moment was a big turning point for the character, played by James Patrick Stuart. He is now facing a life sentence in prison. During his farewell, Valentin spoke with his daughter, Charlotte. He reassured her that he had made arrangements to secure their family's wealth for her future. He hinted at a possible return, saying, "Till next time." Valentin's departure also included a tense scene with Anna Devane. She expressed her frustrations about his inability to move on from his past. Valentin responded by saying he never felt truly free. Before being taken away, Valentin was allowed to see Charlotte, thanks to her mother, Lulu. Anna Devane promised to hold authorities accountable during his transfer to prison. This exit has led to increased speculation about Stuart leaving the show for good. Last year, Stuart mentioned moving to Portland with his wife, indicating he may no longer commute to work. His final scenes suggest the end of Valentin’s storyline while also hinting at new characters that may echo his traits. In other storylines, Jason warned Carly about a looming danger, while Josslyn faced a lie detector test and confronted Jack Brennan about his motives. The episode wrapped up with news about Carly’s health, leaving viewers curious about the future developments in the series.
