The Stars of GENERAL HOSPITAL Say Heartfelt Goodbyes to Ryan Paevey

By Chris Eades

Tags:

Fans weren’t the only ones sad to see Ryan Paevey (Nathan) leave GENERAL HOSPITAL — his daytime co-stars were, too! After the actor admitted he wished he could’ve shared more scenes with Sonny, Maurice Benard tweeted: “Ryan, I will miss being neighbors and you really make me laugh. You’re a really good guy. Go kick butt!”

Risa Dorken, who shared the majority of her screen time with Paevey when she began playing Amy, couldn’t decide on just one image to share on Instagram and made a slideshow instead! “I will (and already do) miss Ryan so much,” she shared. “He has the biggest heart and best sense of humor. Over the past year, he became my mentor and brother. I will miss spending my days laughing on set with him. I wish him all the best, and can’t wait to see what his talent and sense of adventure will bring him next. Thank you for being the best friend and scene partner a girl could ask for. Forever your Muffins.”

Even past GH stars chimed in on social media to wish Paevey well on the next step in his career, including former on-screen rival Zachary Garred (ex-Levi)! “RIP my worthy rival Nathan!” the Aussie actor tweeted. “See you in Valhalla where we will continue our battle!” Paevey appreciated the joke and added: “And drink in the great hall together, fellow worthy.”

Keep scrolling down to see more goodbye messages from GH stars, and the fun photos they chose to share of their happy times together!

At least Paevey has admitted that while he considers his GH exit permanent, he also said: “You never know what the future might hold.” So fans — and his former castmates — can still hold out hope for a reunion one day!
