Some of the most recent developments within the show General Hospital have got fans speculating about the question: Is Cyrus Renault leaving General Hospital? This article is going to explore some of the more popular fan theories and what exactly sparked the rumors. If you’re a fan of the show and its characters, then this one is definitely for you. Read on!
Background on Cyrus Renault in GH
Cyrus Renault, one of the key characters in the show, is an antagonist who has been involved in multiple murders, including those of Pautauk and Austin. In the show’s January 19 episode, he also revealed to Liz that he was the one who murdered Sam.
Cyrus is a demented character who believes that he is doing ‘God’s work’ by helping patients ‘ reunite’ with the Lord by freeing them from suffering and….life itself. Yes, he believes that he is freeing them from a life of suffering trapped in machines and thereby doing noble work.
He started killing patients using different and varied means until he discovered digitalis, which brought death in a quick and painless form. Because of its nature, he decided that it was the drug God had chosen for his ‘will’ to be carried out.
After a lot of murders, characters in the show began to suspect Cyrus as the killer. And, consequently, a lot of people wanted to kill him off for revenge. And now, some incidents that transpired within the show have fans asking whether the character will be bumped off from the show.
Why Are Fans Asking If Cyrus Is Leaving GH?
The reason behind this is that as the days pass, the number of people killed by Cyrus seems to scale up. As of now, the character seems ruthless and determined to eradicate anyone who comes in his way. As said in the previous paragraphs, there are a large number of people who want to kill and hunt him down for revenge.
And the characters Elizabeth and Joss are working to collect solid proof against Cryus which will ultimately send him off to jail and end his reign of terror. Elizabeth (Liz) has already provided evidence against Cyrus, which caused the latter to turn up at his doorstep. Gunshots were heard going off in the episode, which left Liz’s fate uncertain. This has led fans to believe that Cyrus could potentially be permanently removed from the show due to his imminent death or incarceration for his crimes.
Official Statements & Updates
However, neither the makers of the show nor the actor himself (Jeff Kober) has said anything to this effect. Thus, for now, the theories and speculations remain largely unfounded. We cannot say anything for sure unless there is an official declaration from the channel or the production heads.
Possible Exit Scenarios
Most people who watch the show seem to think that he might exit the show by either being caught by the police (with help from Liz and Josslyn) or being killed off by some other vengeful character in the show, most probably Jason Morgan.
Fan Reactions & Social Media Buzz
This is not the first time that there have been rumors of Cyrus exiting the show. It had happened previously as well when they had disappeared from the show for an extended period of time. A Reddit user had commented, “That is bad. He’s a good character and is one of the few villains that wasn’t strictly limited to “rival of Sonny” or the occasional crazy Cassadine,” when a similar rumor had spread four years ago.
On February 17, 2025, an X user remarked, “So Cyrus is going to inject Joss, and Elizabeth is going to save her, perhaps. It’s time to wrap up the Cyrus story, though I hate to see the actor go. He’s so good.”
As already said before, there is no official confirmation for his exit. As per the latest updates, the show is geared up for some exciting twists. Lucky’s life hangs in the balance, Liz’s fate remains unknown, and Jason is still undecided on which path he wants to take against Cyrus. So whether or not his time is up is solely up to the makers of the show. The character has been quite popular with viewers, with his entries and tracks taking the viewership to new highs. From a neutral standpoint, it seems unlikely that the makers are going to remove him so soon. But then again, at this moment, anything seems possible. What do you think?
