Johnny Wactor of “General Hospital” is DEAD TO ME!

Wacked.

Wactor the hot actor.

How incredibly sad. His poor family having to deal with this tragedy.

I saw this story in passing (just the title), but I didn't realize the victim was a semi-famous actor!

How sad, and very random.

Wow... he was hot.

R4 it was posted minutes ago.

JOHNNY Wactor, who played Brando Corbin on General Hospital, has released a shocking statement about his exit from the show.

The actor broke his silence for the first time and thanked fans for their support after the death of his character.

Johnny took to Instagram on Thursday after his character, Brando, was killed off the show.

"It's been a couple days since the demise of Brando Corbin in Port Charles as we know it," he said.

"I have to tell you, I have been so blown away by the reaction from the fans. I had no idea that you guys cared so much about my character."

He went on to say that after 60 years, fans still care and still get outraged when characters die off, calling General Hospital fans "the best in the world."

"As an actor, we're lucky anytime we get a job. To be on a show that has a fanbase that is this loyal and cares this much, I'm truly gonna miss it," Johnny added.

"I'm gonna miss reading y'all's comments and opinions on what the character should do, or what the writer should do. It's really a unique experience."

Brando died at the hands of Port Charles' newest serial killer, The Hook.

He did tease that he might be back in some capacity, saying: "Thank you so much for letting me bring Brando Corbin to life."

"Thank you for caring, and thank you for the support and the well wishes for my future endeavors, whether that's back in Port Charles at some point, or other films or shows."

The actor added that there are some films in the works for him.

Brando Corbin joined the GH family in January 2020 and quickly became a fan-favorite character.

He is the son of Gladys Corbin, so fans thought he would stick around for a lot longer.

General Hospital fans were thrilled when Brando got involved with Sasha, hoping that their relationship would help her stay clean.

However, their storyline quickly shifted after she became pregnant and the baby died after birth.

Sasha then turned back to drugs and Brando struggled to get her help, but eventually got her into rehab.

While things were starting to look up, their world came crashing down once again after he was attacked by The Hook.

He was quickly rushed to the hospital and managed to survive surgery, but it wasn't enough to keep him alive, as the killer's hook was laced with poison.

Johnny talked to Soap Opera Digest after his departure from the show and told the outlet that there was no bad blood between him and the show.

He also said that his schedule was so hectic the last few days that he “was filming so many pages, I didn’t really have time to kind of think or be emotional or reflect on anything."

“I gave a little speech. I knew that I would want to say something just because of my time there and my relationships with the people in the cast and crew. I was a little emotional," Johnny said, after wrapping his last scene.

The soaps actor did not expect to leave the show so soon after his character arrived, but assured the outlet there is no bad blood.

"I wish everyone at GH the best," he ended his statement.

Was his character ever SORASSed?

"Police have not provided a description of the suspects "

We know what that means.

It says the police themselves don’t have a description idiot.

Such a handsome guy.

I'm surprised he didn't have a girlfriend or wife.

He loved the outdoors.

Jesus God in heaven, why’d you have to kill such hot snatch?

DTLA is dangerous - filled with crime and homeless.

STAY away if you come to LA.

R11 it’s 2024. Marriage is happening less and less every year with straight couples.

Body beautiful.

People who watch soap operas are white trash morons

What a bizarrely irrelevant comment, R16.

R17 like all of his comments. All his posts are made up bullshit or irrelevant shit.

Damn, GH has had a black cloud over its head for the last few years.

This is what, the 8th or 9th GH actor to die in that time?

Is there a real life GH serial killer?!?

He didn't even do anything stupid like try to stop the thugs and they shot him anyway.

Thirty seven years old.

People get killed all the time for no reason. All over the world.

'roid rage obvs.

A very handsome guy. Very sad.

WHEN WILL THE TEARS END???!????

Was his character a NuTeen?

Yeah R22, but I'm guessing the thieves/murderers who shot him probably have a rap sheet longer than your arm. They should have been locked up yet they're given preference over the law-abiding residents. This is the result.

He was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time.

By Co-Worker they mean boyfriend right? I thought the whole Catalytic Converter stealing was over.

Criminality is encouraged by the lack of consequences, mostly due to the liberal DAs in a lot of these cities. If they had long rap sheets, the perpetrators should have been locked away for good long ago. All of the demands for defunding police a few years ago resulted in the pandering from politicians that has led us down a dark path. Bail "reform," not prosecuting "small" crimes, and all of that nonsense has just emboldened the criminal elements. This is more of the same, and certainly won't be the last, sadly.

Right R29, cause accused murderers are never prosecuted.

Was he a good wactor?

Another closet case dead and only because we gays shame each other and say we should vote leftwing. If he had voted Larry Elder as opposed to Gavin Newsom, he would still be alive because these three scholars would have already been behind bars. Sad.

You don’t even know his sexuality. Jesus. Enough with placing labels on people, especially when they can’t confirm nor deny it.

R32 uhh...no.

Hey! With all the bait on this thread and my worms we should all go fishin'

R32, you’re on crack.

[quote] He was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time.

He had no choice. He was headed towards his car.

The article mentions that Johnny wasn't even putting up a fuss about them ripping him off, but they shot him anyway.

Fucking animals.

R27, the problem is there are now more wrong places and more wrong times. Buy a clue but please don't pull your wallet out in public. You'll be mugged then they'll stab or shoot you for good measure.

Lmao crime is still higher in red states than blue states on average.

Probably another Rebecca Schaffer. There’s nothing sadder.

I'm not a right winger like R29 but I do think that in the very admirable rush to not send people to prison for life for small/petty crimes, many lawmakers went too far in the OTHER direction and made the punishments for a number of crimes too lenient.

Instead of trashing those laws, there should be a reasonable adjustment that makes sense.

[quote]Lmao crime is still higher in red states than blue states on average.

Lmao at your stupidity. In those red States, it's the blue cities. And anyway: states and cities don't commit violent crime, people do. It's about demographics.

He asked if he was getting towed....

So, he was killed over a catalytic converter. Thugs who wanted a couple hundred bucks.

WELCOME TO LA - STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM DTLA

Exactly what i was saying in a previous thread about the people who killed the 2 Australians and one California in Baja, Mexico over FUCKING TIRES. For a goddamn car. Extinguished 3 lives over tires.

We are a shit species.

[quote] Lmao crime is still higher in red states than blue states on average.

R39 I'm sure that's a huge consolation to friends and family.

This opinion piece is worth a read:

Can't read, r46

R46, This quote sums up the mentality of the average Cali politician:

"Criminalizing the mere possession of a catalytic converter, I think is the wrong way to go, because we know which communities are gonna be the ones most criminalized because of this."

He had such beautiful blue eyes.

This problem should sort itself out in time as more and more people switch to electric cars. No catalytic converters there.

Cadillac converters!

These, I'm sure, were just fine young gentleman who had no other possible way to make a living in our cruel, late capitalist, racist economy than to confiscate such items and blow the brains out of anyone who approached them while doing the job.

Senseless loss of such a gorgeous young man .

Dick Wolf has made a note of it for a new L&O episode.

Wa, wa, wa.

He was bartending that night, and he was walking a female co-worker to her car. Horrible.

[quote]Wactor, who had been working as a bartender in downtown L.A. on Saturday evening, was walking a co-worker to her car after their shift, Wactor’s brother, Grant Wactor, told The Times on Sunday. On the way, he noticed a group of men crowded around his car, and he confronted them because he thought he was being towed.

This just doesn’t sound right. There’s no incentive to steal catalytic converters anymore, there’s a chain of custody database now. It sounds like the mom made up the story, not knowing it’s no longer a thing. Drug deal gone bad sounds more like it.

Doubt if a mom just lies like that, especially so soon. If it was something else, she would probably just remain quiet about it and wait for the facts and evidence to unfold.

^ "lie like that" (not "lies like that")

As mentioned, someone was with him. They saw what happened. People are still stealing that r56. For money.

One more correction: Doubt the mom *would* just lie like that.

[quote] Wactor’s brother, Grant Wactor

Genetics are so weird.

Not just any actor, he was a Wactor!

Why couldn't this have happened to a civilian instead? Or to an ugly celeb? Or, better yet, to an ugly civilian? So many fat homely fraus waddling around, take your pick!

I'm just so stumped, I don't understand this world at all.

Well that settles it, R61.

Johnny had to be gay.

He's the polar opposite of his obviously very straight brother.

[bold] Wait and See....[/bold] Attention Whore Mumbles is going to release a statement that involves MUMBLES and Johnny. Just like when Tyler Christopher...

Condolences to all of Johnnys gay lovers.

he does look sean cody.

Watching fem Dev drool over his TV Daddy was always a hoot.

KCAL news report.

Apparently, he's straight.

His "former fiancee" was interviewed for the story.

She didn't seem too broken up.

I wonder if they ever hooked up?

[quote] Three men were stealing his catalytic converter and one in a mask shot him

Now who in Los Angeles would do that

His dad passed away in 2020 so the family is still dealing with that death & now this one.

Why couldn't it have been Jason?

Online reports have him listed at 6"0" 175-180 lbs.

So he was above average in height so he had that going for him in a street fight.

Was he cut or uncut?

“Out at 3am with a friend” = Boyfriends leaving the club.

[quote] “Out at 3am with a friend” = Boyfriends leaving the club.

He was getting off work as a bartender.

This is bad like killing surfers for tires bad.

He deserved to die because of that performance in R79.

[quote]This just doesn’t sound right. There’s no incentive to steal catalytic converters anymore, there’s a chain of custody database now. It sounds like the mom made up the story, not knowing it’s no longer a thing. Drug deal gone bad sounds more like it.

You are an honest to goodness, DUMBASS. There is MOST CERTAINLY the incentive to steal catalytic converters. They're stolen in all 50 states. Fucking idiot. STFU, stop making stuff up. You don't have any common sense

What's it like to be so stupid?

How Americans can continue to put up with that level of crime is beyond most Europeans. We've certainly got out own blind spots but... How horrible. Has the murderer been caught yet?

[quote] How Americans can continue to put up with that level of crime is beyond most Europeans.

There was a coordinated campaign spending many millions of dollar to elect pro-crime officials in as many large cities as possible. Some have since been ejected but most are still in power and still keeping the criminals on the streets.

Unfortunately for Johnny Wactor the Los Angles DA is one of the remaining examples.

What a terrible tragedy. I hope they find the Pieces of Shit that did this and put them away for the rest of their lives.

Tending bar, eh?

I take it his wacting career was in a slump?

Probably looking for money to buy more drugs. That's why they'll steal anything that's not nailed to the floor. Pieces of shit.

Another reason not to make guns so readily available.

And Keanu Reeves lives.

Those laws don't prevent theft, they just result in lower prices being paid to criminals by unscrupulous scrap metal dealers, or in the stolen goods being transported across state lines for sale elsewhere. From NBC News:

[quote]State and local governments have passed numerous laws since 2020. But until the metal prices fell, the effectiveness of these laws was mixed. Texas enacted a law requiring catalytic converter sellers provide a thumbprint and proof of purchase of the part. Despite the law, converter thefts in Texas reached new heights in 2022, NICB data showed.

It's not like meth heads desperate for their next fix care much about current events anyway. Similarly, dumb kids who watch TikTok videos about how to steal Hyundais and Kias with a USB cable routinely break into models that aren't vulnerable to such thefts. They'll take the time to learn how to steal but aren't concerned about being able to identify the correct models.

[quote]So he was above average in height so he had that going for him in a street fight.

Being above average in height doesn't really matter when someone pulls a gun on you. That's why the first handheld revolver was called the great equalizer.

How can the Daily Mail refer to him as a “General Hospital star”?

Still waiting for his former GH castmate Marcus Coloma to issue a statement. Supposedly they were very close, supposedly Marcus converted Johnny to Scientology.

I hope Johnny wised up and dumped Marcus and his bullshit and that's why Marcus hasn't commented.

[quote] Was he cut or uncut?

Does the bullet hole count as cut?

R94 Because it's a better headline than "bartender".

Highly likely an ND. He had the eyes.

Doesn’t appear to be looking at you even when looking at you.

That’s all.

R46 that article is over a year old.

I’m guessing half brother r61

^You guessed wrong

Phone interviews

For the cunts who are trying to make it look like Wactor was at fault because catalytic converter thefts don't happen any more -- and therefore it must have been a cover story for a drug deal gone bad --

What's your source for catalytic converter thefts being a thing of the past? Here's my source, from the NY Times 6 months ago. It's linked below. These thefts are still very much happening.

But don't let that stop you from telling everyone that Wactor probably brought it on himself and the killers are decent people who had no other choice but to shoot him.

Travis Kelce in 10, er, five years.

[quote] Has the murderer been caught yet?

If you read the comments under the news report, you'll see that the cops are making no sense.

People are asking, "If they haven't released a description of any of the killers, and yet they said 'if you have any information, please contact the police,' how will you know who/what to look for?

How DUMB is that?

R105 We know why they don't release a description...

I know at least three people who've had their catalytic converters stolen in the past six months (in SoCal.)

This is Datalounge. Let's be honest, if the thieves were white we would have a description already.

Call me shallow, but I don’t find the victim hot enough for me to care.

R79 - Sadly, that karaoke clip was infinitely better than GH itself has been for the last 30 years.

TV son Dev has spoken. FYI = Has any couple ever looked LESS like father and son? The storyline was doomed on day one just by the casting. And watching Brando give fem Dev GIRL advice was laughable.

Yes, he is deadóh but a datalounger would pronounce it like it is said at 0:20 because of the gay lisp.

Ingo chimed in to make it political as did Tonja Walker who never even worked with the guy.

Links, r113?

Ingo "totally not gay" Rademacher? Isn't he a right-wing looney like Antonio Sabato?

[bold] INGOS Response[/bold]......Ingo declares Johnny was a "good human".....oh my...

R26 Cities run by Democrats have highest crime rates, thanks to liberal DA's who have more sympathy for criminals than victims.

What does DA possess?

R117 - Here's the list of the U.S. cities with the most violent crime per 100K capita:

1. St. Louis, MO - (D)

2. Detroit, MI - (D)

3. Baltimore, MD - (D)

4. Memphis, TN - (D)

5. Kansas City, MO - (D)

6. Milwaukee, WI - (D)

7. Cleveland, OH - (D)

8. Stockton, CA - (R)

9. Albuquerque, NM - (D)

10. Indianapolis, IN - (D)

Party affiliation is based on current mayor. Violent crime includes Murder, Aggravated Assault, Rape, Armed Robbery, and Robbery.

For me, the most surprising is that L.A., San Fran, NYC, Miami and Dallas are not in the top 5 and, even more surprising, Stockton has a Republican mayor... Stockton?!!

[quote] For me, the most surprising is that L.A., San Fran, NYC, Miami and Dallas are not in the top 5

I'm actually surprised that most of the top 10 are in the Midwest.

Hasn't the Midwest been hit hardest by the Meth epidemic and lost jobs (especially factory)?

When they decriminalize half the laws on the books their "crime rates" go down. When they refuse to arrest criminals their "crime rates" go down. When they refuse to charge a perp and release him back into society their "crime rates" go down.

LA DA Gascon's sweeping changes when he was sworn in 12/20.

R119 Fun fact: only 17.07% of Stockton Ca. is white.

Damn, what a way to go.

The saddest part is the cops aren't going to find who did it. ZERO description? Heartbreaking.

R125 Why doesn't the female co-worker (who he was walking to her car) provide a description of at least 1 of them on social media somewhere & go around the L.A. cop structures?

R125 & R126, the reports said the police were not going to release a description of the three male suspects at this time. They'll find them because this is a high-profile case and there are cameras everywhere. They can trace the suspects route to and from the crime scene.

R127 They could've killed again as long as this supposed manhunt has been taking.

R128, his female co-worker and other co-workers were witnesses. I don't know if they're not giving descriptions for PC (an oldie but a goodie) reasons or if it's standard protocol, it doesn't mean they aren't working behind the scenes to apprehend the suspects. I'm curious to see their criminal histories and their most recent arrests and releases. Thanks George!

I just read an update and they're now reporting when Johnny saw something was going on near his car, he positioned himself in front of his co-worker to shield her and they shot him. These lax laws have to be reversed.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Don’t get too shook but cities with a higher percentage of black residents have the highest crime rates. And the percentage of. violent crime is highest there as well. Look at the list and it becomes fairly clear.

There are many reasons for this and it’s awkward to confront it. Stop and frisk in NYC saved the lives of a lot of young black males who are the number one demo for murder victims.

So many of his GH co-stars wrote heartfelt tributes to Johnny.

Except for egomaniac Maure who worked with him the most and only wrote a couple of words, barely a full sentence. I guess he couldn't be bothered to do more as it didn't involve mental health and Maurice couldn't make it about himself.

I'm baffled as to why sputtering Maurice is regarded as a mental health advocate. All he talks about is himself and the average person with bipolar can't get away his type of bad behavior in the workplace and still be employed.

Pressuring his co-stars to come on his youtube show and stroke his ego so he can make more money doesn't help anyone with mental health problems. Most of his co-stars don't even have any huge problems and have to exaggerate some minor thing to make it appear as if there is an actual reason they are on the show aside from appeasing the egomaniac.

He really was stunningly beautiful.

The "Dem cities" thing is just more Fox News bullshit.

the truth based on facts: See Link

r136 reposting link

r95, I worked with an actress who was a Scientologist and her father (who brought her up as one) died during our production. No tears, no comments, came back to work perky like nothing had happened. Maybe she didn't like her dad, but it was ultra weird to have her not seemingly affected by it, especially as she was going to stay with her parents after we wrapped (she was pregnant).

Only a matter of time until.....

R139, How tacky!

I generally lose interest in most situations when the GFM goes up and this is no exception.

One donation from "Lauren Wright."

R137 States do not commit murders. People do. It's all about demographics. WHO is doing the killing.

They've already raised 61k. That's a lot of trips back and forth to L.A. from South Carolina for his mother and brothers should there be a trial and to settle his affairs.

I'm not a fan of these things unless it's an extreme situation but I did see that the actress who played his mom on GH Bonnie Burroughs donated and thought that was touching. She was genuinely upset when he was dropped from the show. In their last scene together, she had tears in her eyes and took his hand and that's when I knew they were going to kill him as the scene did not warrant her tears or such emotion.

Jordi Vilasuso also donated and I don't think he even knew him that well.

Jordi gets a few more slurps on his next suck job for his kindness.

The "ex-fiance" has come forward for her ATTENTION WHORE moment. I'm surprised SHE hasn't created a gofunder to help HER "cope".

Steal the whole damn car, rather than taking the time to detach the catalytic converter.

This whole trend to steal catalytic converters is so bizarre to me.

When Bonnie Burroughs, who played his mother, came on the show her character was extremely obnoxious. Immensely obnoxious. People were trashing her on social media mercilessly. Johnny took to twitter to tell people Bonnie was the sweetest, nicest person and NOTHING like her character.

I think this is why his co-stars are so upset, sounds like he really was a nice guy.

That ex-fiancee from [bold]2013[/bold] is really going to milk this.

L.A. is expensive. But being a bartender instead of an escort seems odd to me. He was handsome and fit. He had zero dope vibe. He was definitely someone who could have made serious money. Sad.

[quote] being a bartender instead of an escort seems odd to me. He was handsome and fit. He had zero dope vibe. He was definitely someone who could have made serious money. Sad.

Are you being serious, R150?

Not everyone looks to being a PAID WHORE to make money.

The fact that he was such a good guy, handsome, healthy, and fit are all reasons for him NOT to become an escort.

Being a bartender is a perfectly fine choice for work, when the acting roles dry up.

At least he was doing something respectable, and earned a decent living.

R151 Yes I was being serious. Working as an escort is a legitimate job that pays extremely well. Many escorts find a sugar daddy and regular client lists. You seem to have some skewed view of sex workers.. The "paid whores" who escort are either dopeheads or mentally ill, and they never make decent money. A bartender job is kind of low rent. Sorry. Just an opinion.

R137 - As was already pointed out, it's mainly the BLUE cities in RED/PURPLE states that spike the numbers. Stop spinning like a dervish, you come off as a deranged partisan.
