General Hospital’s Evan Hofer Talks Dex’s (Not At All Normal) New Normal

It’s all change for General Hospital’s Dex Heller, and actor Evan Hofer has the skinny.

Evan Hofer Checks In

First, there’s the little matter of Josslyn (Eden McCoy) kicking him to the curb after he confessed his intention to murder Cyrus (Jeff Koper). Like many a fan before him, Hofer stresses that his alter-ego’s girlfriend should have seen that one coming.

“I think there was certainly a part of him that thought, it’s kind of an obvious part of the job, right?” mused the actor to Soap Opera Digest. “And she’s been part of Sonny’s world for so long. She knows this stuff goes on.”

Still, Hofer granted that “I think it was, it was different for it to be him, to be Dex, to be the one to do. It is a much different proposition suddenly because there’s this soft, caring side with her that nobody else really gets to see. And then suddenly, he’s out here, about to kill an old man for Sonny. That side of him, she doesn’t see. Sonny sees that side, other people see that side, that’s kind of who he is in public, but Josslyn gets this much softer loving side. Nobody else gets that.”

Dex now finds himself starring down the opportunity to join the rank and file of the PCPD, courtesy of Anna Devane (Finola Hughes). “That happens to everybody, right? Just another Tuesday in Port Charles,” joked Hofer.

“It was surprising, but Anna is such an intelligent character that I think she kind of sees a few steps ahead and finds ways that she can make Dex useful as well as keep him protected. And I just love working with Finola so much. She’s so incredible, as both a person and a performer. It’s so wonderful to get to work with her. So that’s been a joy.”

As for how he feels that Dex is no longer in Sonny’s orbit: “When I read the script that I was not going to work for Sonny anymore, I actually cried in public just because I knew I wasn’t going to get to act with Mo as often. He’s been such a huge part of my life since I’ve been here. He’s been such an incredible mentor and friend to me, both in work and outside of work. And obviously, we’re still close. But just not getting to work with him all the time, I’m definitely gonna miss.”
