Former One Life to Live stars turned General Hospital stars Michael Easton (John), Roger Howarth (Todd), Kristen Alderson (Starr) will cease work at GH on Friday, February 8.

UPDATE 12:56PM: Soap Opera Digest confirms that Howarth and Alderson will exit as well. In addition, Prospect Park intends to recast the roles of Todd, Starr and John after failing to work out a contract with the stars.

Original Report: As previously reported, due to legal issues surrounding GH’s usage of One Life to Live characters John McBain, Todd Manning (Roger Howarth) and Starr Manning (Kristen Alderson), Easton (and presumably Howarth and Alderson) will exit General Hospital this month. Easton posted the following message on his Facebook page, commenting publicly for the first time on the issues involving his status and future at GH.

An hour later he posted an update, apologizing if he upset any fans.

Prospect Park reclaimed rights to the characters, which were licensed to ABC last year, for the online version of One Life to Live. The three stars are under contract with General Hospital.

TVSource Magazine reached out to General Hospital for comment. “‘General Hospital’ is excited about Michael Easton, Kristen Alderson and Roger Howarth staying on the show and we are exploring ways to allow that to happen,” says a rep for the show.

We will continue to follow this story as it develops.
