General Hospital spoilers confirm that Eva LaRue has officially exited the land of Port Charles, with Soap Opera Digest j(SOD) reporting her final episode was Monday, June 30.
Unfortunately, Natalia took a dire combination of alcohol and pills as she reeled at the idea of heading out of the little town and to Belize, at the hands of her ‘friend’ Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). More details on this, below.
Natalia Ramirez Hung Around Longer Than Expected
LaRue entered the ABC soap in February 2024, and her stint lasted longer than expected. She told SOD she was supposed to be on the daytime drama for a couple of months, but it ended up being a far longer run. (Make sure to check out our next week GH spoilers, here!)
LaRue stated this was great, “… and really fun because there are so many All My Children actors there, and so it felt like home.”
With that said, she began to feel as if her days were numbered in January and told SOD that even though the show attempted to place her character on a road to redemption, there was no winning over the fans considering Natala’s origins on the soap.

LaRue stated, “People just weren’t buying it, because they just hated my character so much. I (Natalia) was so vilified that no matter what [the writers] did, it just wasn’t a solid enough rehabilitation that they were gonna buy me with Sonny.”
She came to accept Natalia’s fate, especially when the secret came out that she was Jenz Sidwell’s (Carlo Rota) ex-wife, and Sonny dropped her as a friend. LaRue could feel as if the end was near.

Favorite Memories
The actress made great memories during her time on General Hospital, stating she loved seeing everyone, every day, especially her old colleagues from AMC.
Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) was one AMC alum LaRue worked with when she played Maria Santos Grey on the soap, and Hughes played Anna.
In addition, Cameron Mathison (Drew Cain) once played AMC’s Ryan Lavery, and Laura Wright (Carly Spencer) worked with LaRue once on Loving. Lastly, fun fact, she and Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) are friends, so it was nice working alongside her, as well.
In addition, she gave a shout out to Benard, who she notes is a rockstar and a ‘blast’ to work with, as well as Carlo Rota, with whom she was hoping her character would have a reunion. She states it was fun “… having a son for a minute” and working with Adrian Anchondo (Marco Rios), too.
