Robert Palmer Watkins unexpectedly let go by GH

General Hospital's Robert Palmer Watkins (Dillon Quartermaine) is on his way out of Port Charles -- and it's not of his own choosing.

General Hospital's Quartermaine family continues to disintegrate with the latest casting news: Robert Palmer Watkins (Dillon Quartermaine) is on his way out from the ABC soap opera.

Multiple sources have confirmed to Soap Central that the young actor has been let go from the role he assumed in 2015. Watkins was reportedly "blindsided" by his dismissal, according to Daytime Confidential, which first reported the firing. However, one show mole tells Soap Central that the ouster wasn't entirely unexpected.

Earlier this month Watkins thanked General Hospital for allowing him to "step away for a month" to work on the film Last Three Days.
