"General Hospital" fans were outraged following the events from last week's episodes, which left Dr. Silas Clay (Michael Easton) dead. While bringing back a character from the dead isn't entirely impossible for soap operas, an ongoing petition calls on the ABC soap opera to bring back Michael Easton to Port Charles. Will ABC heed the fans' plea and bring Silas back from the dead?
GH recently took on a shocking turn after Silas ended up dead. Many fans were shocked, disappointed and outraged to see one of their favorite characters and actors leave the ABC soap opera. While some may say that fans should just move forward and let his character be, an ongoing petition aims to raise Silas back from the dead.
"Bring Back Michael Easton to General Hospital" was raised at Care2Petitions in an attempt to call on executive producer Frank Valentini, and writers Shelly Altman and Jean Passanante's attention to bring Michael Easton and his character back to Port Charles.
The petition described Easton's departure from the series as "unjust" given the actor's history on the show and the network.
"Michael Easton is an asset to General Hospital. Mr. Easton's character, Dr. Silas Clay, started off as an essential part of the General Hospital canvas as his character is an oncologist... If Michael would like to return, then we hope the decision is reversed and he is offered a role on the show once more," the petition reads.
The petition has 2,286 signatures as of writing. Meanwhile, Celeb Dirty Laundry noted that soap operas are known for bringing back its characters from the dead. The outlet also cited several possible ways to bring Easton back into the series, including the possibility of introducing him as Silas' cousin.
