Roger Howarth’s exit from General Hospital left fans with questions—and now, his next chapter stirs curiosity again. As the mystery behind Dr. Austin Gatlin-Holt’s shooter remains unsolved, fans continue wondering what’s next for the beloved actor. Turns out, Roger’s off-screen journey may be just as compelling.
Roger Howarth Reflects on Growth After General Hospital
Even after his General Hospital departure, Roger Howarth remains devoted to the craft of acting. Recently, he took to Instagram to praise actress Candace Nicholas-Lippman. Her performance deeply moved him and changed how he views his work. In his heartfelt post, he thanked her for showing such vulnerability and grace on stage.
Candace has appeared in Grey’s Anatomy and Blindspotting. She’s also a spoken word artist and educator. Roger expressed how her raw talent made him reevaluate his own methods. That emotional experience has sparked a fresh wave of creativity in the daytime legend.
Lippman responded warmly to Roger’s kind words, expressing gratitude for his support. The interaction showcased a mutual respect between two performers committed to storytelling. For fans, this gives a peek into Roger’s world—he’s still very much immersed in the art form, even if he’s no longer in Port Charles.
This moment of appreciation speaks volumes about where Howarth’s heart is now. He’s not just chasing scripts. He’s reconnecting with what made him passionate about acting in the first place. While he hasn’t announced his next project, this could be the turning point that leads to something new and powerful.
Fans Are Eager for Roger’s Return—or Something New
Although he’s no longer appearing on General Hospital, Roger Howarth continues to be missed. Fellow actor Cameron Mathison, who plays Drew, joined fans in applauding Roger’s tribute. Followers poured into the comments asking for updates and expressing hopes for a return.
One fan even suggested a new direction entirely—stand-up comedy! With his charisma and quick wit, Roger might just surprise everyone. Meanwhile, others praised his kindness, humility, and the way he supports his peers.
What stands out most is how he remains connected to his audience. He doesn’t fade into the background. Instead, he shows fans what personal growth looks like outside of daytime TV.
Could a Return to General Hospital Still Happen?
The door is always open in the soap world. Characters come back from the dead. Storylines twist unexpectedly. Although Dr. Austin Gatlin-Holt was killed off, nothing’s ever final in Port Charles. If the writers choose, Roger could return as someone completely new—just like he has before.
With the fan support still so strong, General Hospital would be wise to consider bringing him back. Until then, Roger seems to be exploring new artistic ground. And his fans? They’re cheering him on every step of the way.
