It’s been quite some time since we last saw Scott in Port Charles. In fact, Kin Shriner hasn’t been on the ABC soap since August 2024 when his character met up with Clement in a warehouse and convinced the pharmacist that he was going to help him escape Sonny’s wrath. However, as viewers know, Jason got to Clement before Scott could deliver on his word.
So, what’s the actor been doing since Scott took off after reporting to Cates what Jason had done? Well, he’s been recuperating from a “botched” surgery. Shriner posted a video on X and detailed the experience, which happened over a year ago, to his followers…
“I had some arrogant surgeon at SCOI give me a subtalar fusion and he botched it,” the actor explained then went on to say that for six months, he “basically couldn’t walk.” That’s when his good friend and former castmate John Stamos (ex-Blackie) stepped in and connected Shriner with someone he knew at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, who fixed the issue.
Now, he’s spending his time down in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, rehabbing his foot, “every day,” and working out in a powerhouse gym in order to get his mobility back. “When something goes wrong, you fix it,” he stated, “Or you try to. I will be mobile soon.”
We send Shriner our best wishes as he continues to heal and hope to one day see him bring Scott back to our screens.
