Is actor Evan Hofer leaving General Hospital and is his character Dex dead?

On the latest episode of General Hospital, fans were in for a shock when beloved character Dex Heller suffered a tragic fate. The reformed mobster, who has captured the hearts of viewers since his debut two years ago, was stabbed in a dramatic scene earlier in the week. While Dex is no stranger to injuries due to his job at the PCPD, fans were initially reassured when he was rushed to the hospital and appeared to be on the road to recovery.

However, things took a heartbreaking turn in Friday's episode when Dex suddenly went into cardiac arrest. This unexpected development left fans reeling and desperate for answers. Is Dex really dead? Or is this all part of some elaborate twist in the fictional town of Port Charles?

Social media was flooded with messages from concerned fans, with many expressing their disbelief and shock at Dex's alleged demise. "Dex being killed is just a horrible Friday the 13th joke, right?" one user wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). "This can't be real," another fan exclaimed.

But unfortunately, it seems that Dex's fate has been sealed. Actor Evan Hofer, who portrayed the beloved character, has confirmed his departure from the show. It was not his decision to leave, as the show's producers had chosen to write off his character in a tragic twist.

"That's where the storyline was going," Hofer shared with Soaps.com. "With these kinds of things, you never know. I've been shot twice, I've been in danger plenty of times. You never really know when your character's luck will run out."

This departure echoes that of another fan-favorite character, Sam McCall, who was killed off earlier this year. Sam's final storyline involved her donating her liver to Lulu Spencer, who had been in a coma for four years. Despite the successful transplant, Sam tragically passed away after getting engaged to Dante Falconeri.

It seems that Dex's luck has finally run out, leaving fans devastated and wondering what's next for the show.
