Overview

  • General Hospital confirmed LaRue’s final episodes will air this week, culminating in Natalia Ramirez’s on-screen death following a lethal mix of pills and alcohol.
  • Executive producer Frank Valentini said the role originally slated as a brief guest appearance grew longer thanks to LaRue’s strong performance paired with the cast’s chemistry.
  • LaRue sensed her exit in January following failed redemption efforts once Natalia’s trust with Sonny Corinthos dissolved.
  • Fan backlash against the villainous Natalia—marked by rejection of a planned romance with Sonny Corinthos—hindered redemption efforts, accelerating her narrative exit.
  • LaRue, who debuted on the soap in February 2024, is best known for her roles on All My Children and CSI: Miami and will move on to new projects now that her time in Port Charles has concluded.
