Cohen left the soap in 2019, with a few brief appearances afterward.
This got fans excited and had themwondering if he was bringing Griffin back to Port Charles.
Cohen explained that his time on “GH” took a toll on his family life.
At the time, he approached Maurice Benard for help because he was losing his identity in his character.
Benard got him to speak to someone about his issues, and Cohen subsequently made a shocking revelation.
“I am not afraid to say I’ve thought suicide,” he stated.
“I think everybody thinks it and is afraid to speak about it.
Cohen then put a great emphasis on the importance of talking about one’s feelings.
Cohen felt if they just had someone to talk to, things might have worked out differently.
“If you don’t put yourself out there, you’re alone.
And until you do it, you don’t know that you might be something other than alone.”
If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available.
