Just as impactful as it was on screen, Jophielle Love (Violet) experienced real-life emotion during the heartfelt goodbye scenes with her onscreen dad, Michael Easton as Dr. Hamilton Finn on General Hospital.
In an Instagram post for the young actress, a parent-run account stated,
“How do I say good bye ?
Michael and Jophielle have been working together on @generalhospitalabc for 5 years now ! Over 100 episodes… Today’s scenes were an absolute heartbreak . Jophielle doesn’t lose sight of the possibility of her parents coming back into her GH life … This scene was way too familiar from one she experienced on her first few months on set as her tv mother went through what felt like the same door … saying good bye … and never returning to this day! Poor Violet lost everyone…
Jophielle was genuinely very sad … Her chemistry with Michael on set was amazing from day one , as she always insisted to fix his hair before each take as a five years old. Now she is 10 … and … tears were pouring down. It was a very very hard day on set and everyone was tearing up … She managed to get through it all like a pro , …. It was … very emotional and also amazing. Like a grown up scene.
Michael … I speak as a mom today who has been there on set every step of the way , being so thankful for you and for Rebecca Budig’s incredible love and instant connection with Jophielle. There is something to be said about tv families… and even more on a show like General Hospital, where these families have such a real bound as they are part of a long lasting legacy …
Like Jophielle does … I really hope you get to come back …. Never say never … we love you Michael and we thank you for everything. See you soon .”
As a rising actress, Jophielle Love has gracefully navigated through emotional goodbyes. She bid farewell to her onscreen mom, Rebecca Budig (Hayden), and recently to Gregory Harrison (Gregory), and now to her onscreen dad, Michael Easton, as he wraps up his run as Finn on General Hospital today.
