‘General Hospital’ spoilers alum Hayley Erin, who was best known for her role as Kiki Jerome, is opening up about her decision to leave the highly-rated ABC soap.

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Hayley Erin Opens Up About Port Charles Exit After Brutal Ryan Chamberlain Murder + New Show ‘The Perfectionists’
Speaking to Soaps in Depth, the beautiful blonde admits that while she still tunes in to the show, there are certain scenes that she just can’t watch on her own. One of the scenes of course is her character’s funeral.
“I watched all of Maura West’s beautiful scenes when Ava found out, but I can’t watch the funeral,” she admitted to Soaps In Depth. “Leading up to this, I thought I was going to relish in it. ‘I’ve cried over graves. Now I want to watch you cry over my grave!’ But it’s so not like that. It’s genuinely sad for me.”
As far as the writers’ decision to kill off Kiki Jermoe, Hayley says there’s no hard feelings. In fact, she even says that killing off Kiki means that she was so good at her job they didn’t want to bring someone else in to reprise the role!
“I take it as a compliment they didn’t want to bring in another Kiki,” she said. “It worked for the story, and I got to move on to this new chapter.”
She added, “Any person who loves General Hospital will also love The Perfectionists. It’s a teen murder-mystery soap opera with storylines involving college professors and students. It’s edgy, sexy and dark. But it’s still funny.”
With that being said, we will take Hayley for her word!
