Austin on General Hospital: From Doc Hottie to D-I-Dead!
Hey, "General Hospital" fans! Let's talk about Dr. Austin Gatlin-Holt, the charming physician who stole hearts (and maybe a few secrets) in Port Charles. Remember him? Tall, dark, and brooding with a smile that could melt a metaphorical iceberg? Yeah, well, fasten your metaphorical seatbelts because things got a little, well, fatal for our favorite doc.

| What Happened To Austin On General Hospital |
The Rise and Shine of Dr. McDreamy (well, almost) ⚕️
Austin waltzed into Port Charles in 2021, bringing his good looks and mysterious past. He quickly became entangled with Ava Jerome (because what newcomer in Port Charles doesn't?), even helping her cover up, ahem, some shall-we-say less-than-savory deeds. Intrigue? We got it! On the medical side, Austin proved to be a skilled doctor, earning the respect (and maybe a little bit of a crush) from his colleagues. We were all thinking, "This guy's a keeper!"
Houston, We Have a Problem (or Maybe Several)
But as with all things in soap operas, paradise wasn't exactly permanent. Austin's past came knocking, and it wasn't exactly friendly. Turns out, the good doctor had some shady connections, including the ever-so-delightful mob boss, Cyrus Renault. Yikes! Things went from "dreamy doctor" to "dodging bullets" real quick.
QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.
The Big Chill (or Should We Say, Thrill?)
In a shocking turn of events (well, shocking for Austin, maybe not so much for us soap opera veterans), Austin was shot in a November 2023 episode. The identity of the shooter? Left a mystery! The whodunit had us on the edge of our metaphorical seats. Was it the vengeful Cyrus? The ever-protective Ava? Maybe even a surprise villain? We all had our theories, but one thing was certain: Dr. McDreamy was no more.
R.I.P., Austin. You'll be missed (by some).
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
So You Want to Know More About Austin's Dramatic Demise? Here's the Lowdown:
- Who played Austin? The talented Roger Howarth brought Austin to life.
- Why did he leave the show? While the official reason hasn't been revealed, it seems like Roger's contract wasn't renewed, and the writers decided to give Austin a dramatic exit.
- Who killed Austin? This is still a mystery! The show is keeping us guessing, but there are plenty of suspects.
