So long, bye bye Jordan! Vinessa Ashford has made things official in regards to her status with General Hospital. After joining the show in 2014 and spending the last 4 years playing the character, Antoine has now been hired as the lead in a new CBC series titled “Diggstown”. While reports suggested that Antoine would be dropped to recurring status, that is not the cast. Antoine wrote, “There are so many people that God put into place who are directly and indirectly responsible for my time at @GeneralHospital You know who you are. I thank you. I came into this world as an artist. My job is to create and inspire. I hope that I did that a little in playing #JordanAshford. I believe that I have taken her as far as I can. To clarify, as negotiations for #Diggstown were underway, although I am open to stay and play in Port Charles, I was told by my reps that @GeneralHospital felt that my character would be off the canvas for too long for me to continue playing her. With that, we decided to mutually part ways. It’s time to make room for more women of color in prominent roles on television. I’m grateful to assist in that by starting this new chapter in my journey. I hope you’ll all come along. I feel blessed. Be well. xo” We wish her all the best!
