GENERAL Hospital's leading man Kin Shriner has gotten fans speaking out on his behalf after his recent message on Twitter.
Kin recently tweeted about the fate of his character, Scott Baldwin, on the beloved soap opera General Hospital.
Kin, 69, acted on General Hospital on and off since 1977, earning four Emmy nominations during his run on the show.
Each generation, the TV star accumulates more fans and gets even more popular on the show.
The way that General Hospital fans responded to Kin announcing that his beloved persona Scott, aka Scotty, was being axed served as evidence that he's indeed a fan favorite.
"I just found out Scotty @GeneralHospital was written out I thank u @GeneralHospital fans for decades of supporting me !!," Kin wrote in a tweet yesterday.

TAKE IT BACK!
So many fans replied to his tweet to share their disappointment with him being cut from the line-up by show producers.
"Noooooo! I hope this isn't permanent! Don't do this, @valentinifrank!!!," one fan commented on Twitter.
Another tweeted: "What?!?! WTF is @GeneralHospital thinking. You're a legacy character, you infuse humor into every scene.
"Scotty's character has ties to every family in Port Charles. With the shock of Jacklyn Zeman's passing (Bobbie Spencer) last week this is just 100% WRONG. PLEASE RESUSCITATE!."

A third fan slammed: "What? Not our Scotty! What is wrong with those so-called writers?"
A fourth cosigned: "What???? But he became one of the best characters! Seems like something shady is going on behind the scenes ..."
Someone else noted: "Unacceptable, Scotty is integral to GH. GH needs to learn to cherish & maintain their vets like DAYS.
"The vets are who fans actually care about!"
The executive producers of General Hospital have yet to confirm or deny Kin's claims that he's been let go.
SOAP OPERA SHAKE-UP
There have been many changes made to General Hospital lately.
ABC's head honchos gave General Hospital notable Lexi Ainsworth's, 30, famous role on the show to an actress that starred in a rival soap opera earlier this month.
Between 2009-2011 and from 2015 until this year, Kristina, daughter of Maurice Bernard's, 60, character Sonny Corinthos, was portrayed by Lexi.
However, Soap Opera Digest recently reported that showrunners decided to switch things up, replacing Lexi with Emmy-winning soap star Kate Mansi, 35.
Kate portrayed Abigail Deveraux DiMera on NBC's Days of Our Lives on and off from 2016 to 2020.
The news outlet reported that although Kate's final appearance on the show was in 2020, she returned for her very last appearance on an episode that aired on April 27.
Currently, Kate is filming for General Hospital - the first episode will air later this month.
The reason for ABC recasting Lexi's character hasn't been revealed yet.
General Hospital has been on-air since 1963 and has almost 15,000 episodes to date.
The show can be watched on weekdays on ABC starting at 2 p.m. EST.
Viewers can also watch General Hospital on ABC's website as well as stream on Hulu.
