'General Hospital' Spoilers, Week Jan. 12-16: Robb Derringer Leaving Show, Grayson McCouch Cast as Detective Kyle Sloan
Robb Derringer has confirmed that he will be leaving "General Hospital," and he took to Twitter to share the news with his fans. Derringer told his followers that he thought his run as Detective Sloane would last longer, but it didn't work out. Immediately, the hashtag #SaveAgentSloane started trending as fans feared that the character would be retired. Those who followed Sloane's storyline were particularly affected by this news, especially since the detective has terrific chemistry with Finola Hugh's character.
However, Soap Opera Digest has confirmed that the role of Detective Sloane has been recast, and Grayson McCouch has been hired to step into the role. McCouch's first scenes will air starting February 2015. McCouch played Dusty in "As the World Turns" and also had roles in "Armageddon" and "Beverly Hills 90210."
