Not only were fans of General Hospital shocked that the character Cyrus Renault was responsible for the murder of Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco), so was the actor who portrayed Cyrus, Jeff Kober.
The winner of a Daytime Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in 2022, Kober ended his run on the show when Cyrus also met his maker on the Feb. 20 episode.

“It was definitely a leap,” Kober said in a recently published interview. “The thing about soap opera writing and acting is, it’s always open to interpretation. As an actor, you kind of have to be ready, willing and able to jump in a particular direction. When I saw that script, I said, ‘Wait a minute! Don’t I get a vote?’ And they said, ‘No, of course not.’ And I had to make it work within the realm of my logic of the character and of the world.”
Kober shared his feelings on the turn of events on the long-running show in a recently published interview with Soap Opera Digest.
“You have to go to a certain level of crazy,” he added. “The whole thing of, ‘Did he find God or not?’—we lived in that world for a long time and from that perspective, it was kind of a relief to go, like, ‘Oh, he’s killing people. Even if he’s doing it in the name of the Lord, still, he’s killing people!’ The character made sense to me more. Just in terms of the way it feels to be in a character, it was a relief and a return to form.”
It turned out that Sam was just one of Cyrus’ victims. It was later revealed that he also killed the character known as Dex, played by Evan Hofer.
“In that case, I felt that character could use some killing,” Kober said. “I didn’t mind that. And we had fun! Yeah, I didn’t mind killing him. That was different, too, because it was like, ‘Wait a minute, he’s knifing this guy. What?! And not only that, he’s doing it at Christmas?’ It was a confusing set of circumstances, but fun to play!”
