Following the dramatic exit of his character, Marco Rios, from General Hospital, actor Adrian Anchondo took to Instagram to share a heartfelt farewell to the ABC soap and its fans.
In a post on Instagram, Anchondo shared behind-the-scenes moments along with a tribute to his time on the show.
Anchondo began by reflecting on his journey and honoring his mother. “I started this journey with a story about my mother, how she was with me in spirit at my screen test for Marco, hiding in the compact she used to do her make up in while she watched soap operas on the couch,” he wrote.

He continued, “Now, I know she is looking down and proud of me for all the work I’ve done in the past year on one of the best shows ever created. She is proud of me for showing up every day and leading with kindness and respect, for fighting through my insecurities and anxiety, and for letting my heart shine through a character that had questionable intentions ?❤️”
Beyond his personal journey, Anchondo highlighted the significance of his presence in Port Charles, “I’m also proud of myself for doing the work, for representing the LGBTQI and Latino community, and for constantly recognizing the magic that every single person on the show creates,” he wrote.
Anchondo also addressed fans’ reaction to his character’s exit. “I know fans are sad (believe me I’m still grieving) but I’m just one small piece in a much bigger picture. This isn’t about me, it’s about what’s best for the story. I can’t believe the amount of love I’ve received especially in the last few days. I hope I made you proud,” he wrote, adding, “To my queer fans, don’t be discouraged, we will keep spreading our love and fighting for that happy ending.”
He also thanked those behind the scenes, including ABC and Disney, as well as casting director Mark Teschner and executive producer Frank Valentini.
Anchondo also paid tribute to his partner, Colton Little (who plays Andrew Donovan on Days of Our Lives), thanking him for ‘running lines’ and ‘holding me through the sad parts.’
He continued by thanking his family and co-stars for their support, writing, “Thank you to my Grandma and cousins for cheering me on.Thank you to the amazing cast especially Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) for your wisdom and kindness Carlo Rota (Jenz Sidwell) for your support, guidance and friendship, and of course to my amazing friend Van Hansis (Lucas Jones) for holding my hand in more ways than one- you made it easy to fall in love with you.”
He added, “That’s a wrap on Marco! I hope everyone loved him as much as I did. We went out with a bang ?”
