"General Hospital" star Bryan Craig has finally spoken about the primary reason why he decided to leave the noontime soap earlier than expected. Despite revealing that he is working for another project, fans can't seem to move on from his character's untimely death last week.
Craig has officially revealed that he is working for another project which explains his exit from "General Hospital." Although he was vocal about his intention to leave the show, no one saw it coming as early as last week since his exit had been expected to be in November. Craig starred on the ABC soap for over three years long.

In an exclusive interview with Soap Opera Digest, Craig outlined the real score behind this controversial move. He said: It's really hard to schedule anything when you're at GH under contract." Craig further admitted that there were a few instances already that he turned down other projects because of his prior and existent commitment with ABC and the show.
