Kin Shriner dropped a nostalgic bombshell, hinting at a memoir that could pull back the curtain on decades of daytime drama.

For over a year, there’s been a Scotty Baldwin-shaped hole on General Hospital, and fans feel it. That familiar smirk, the courtroom swagger, the way Kin Shriner could land a punchline like he was tossing a martini olive across the bar — it’s been missed. So when Shriner hinted this week that he might finally put decades of Port Charles secrets on paper, fans perked up fast. His words carried that mix of nostalgia and edge that’s always made Scotty… well, Scotty.

Key Takeaways

• Kin Shriner hinted that after 47 years, he may finally tell his General Hospital story in book form.
• His candid posts sparked instant buzz and nostalgia among long-time GH viewers.
• Fans flooded Shriner’s comments with excitement, support, and pleas for him to “do it” and “start it now.”

A Story Worth Telling

Shriner lit the spark with a post that stopped long-time viewers in their scrolls: “I have been told endless I should write a book on GH and my 47 years there, but today it came clear, but I need to get permission from some actors that are still here!!!”

Daytime Confidential quickly picked it up, asking the question everyone else was thinking: “Is Kin Shriner writing a General Hospital tell-all?” Shriner didn’t leave fans hanging long. He shared their post with a blunt, almost wistful response: “Tell it how it happened! I was there and all my co-stars don’t care or [are] gone!… I think the gone would like to be remembered!!!”

That one landed. After nearly five decades on set, Shriner’s earned the right to tell it like it was — and clearly, fans are ready to listen. (Check out Shriner’s other walk down memory lane.)

Fans Want the Book Yesterday

The reactions came in waves — equal parts excitement, affection, and the kind of loyalty that only builds over a lifetime of storylines. “Kin! I would buy paper, electronic, and audio versions of your book!!” one fan promised. Another cheered him on: “You’ve worked with legends, and we’d all love to read about that. Good luck!”There was humor, too — one follower joked, “Yes, permission in writing, but you know that you’re a lawyer,” while another asked, “Even for praising co-stars and not slandering them?” Others got straight to the point: “YES!!!!! Write it! Start it now!!! Tell us ALL the dirt, good and bad!! Starting with why you left so abruptly.”

When Daytime Confidential amplified the buzz, fans doubled down. “#1 on the best sellers list!” one wrote. “Go Kin,” said another. Shriner’s follow-up post lit the match again. “Please do, Kin!!!!!! #GH,” one viewer urged. Another said simply, “People would love to read all the juicy details of backstage GH.”

If Shriner really does sit down to write it, that book won’t just be a memoir — it’ll be a love letter to an era of daytime that refuses to die quietly. And by the sound of it, fans are already clearing a space on their shelves. (Are the doors really closed on Scotty?)
