Lexi Ainsworth announced her exit from "General Hospital" on Instagram, stating that the past decade was "transformative" for both her and Kristina. "I was looking forward to this upcoming storyline because it was inspired by a personal experience of mine," she said, adding, "But I am currently working on writing my own story from my point of view, which has been thus far cathartic and hopefully inspiring to other women." She explained that she's been looking to expand her career with projects "that align with my evolving interests and goals." She also took a moment to thank the fans for their support and loyalty, which has continued to inspire her over the years. "I am forever grateful. The show would not be what it is without you guys," she lovingly stated.

Ainsworth explained that her goal is to be more involved in the behind-the-scenes and creative aspects of production. Finding it difficult to say goodbye to "GH," she stated that her exit now frees her up to seek goals that she was meant to pursue. She ended by asking for continued fan support and mentioned that she'll be appearing in an episode of "NCIS" on May 22.

Ultimately, Ainsworth didn't explain whether or not it was her decision to leave the show, but we wish her well in the future!
