There are a lot of tributes to the late General Hospital star Johnny Wactor from family members and other actors.

The 37-year-old man was shot and killed in Los Angeles on Saturday morning while protecting a coworker from thieves who were trying to steal his catalytic converter.

At about 3:25 am, Wactor was walking a coworker to her car after working a shift at a rooftop bar when something terrible happened.

His brother Grant told Daily Mail, “We’re Southern by birth and blood, and we would never let a woman walk to their car by herself.”

Grant said Wactor thought he was being towed because he saw three men in masks around his car.

But when a man pointed a gun at the actor, he moved out of the way to protect his coworker from the gunfire.

“I think my brother worked harder than anyone else I’ve ever known.” “He was a great son and brother,” Grant told the news source.

Still on the run, the three suspects are being looked into by the LAPD.

People paid tribute to Wactor right away because he was known for playing Brando Corbin on the popular soap opera.

William deVry, who also stars on General Hospital, called it a “senseless” death in a post.

It’s really hard for me to find the right words to describe how sad I am about losing another #GHAlum,” he wrote on X, which used to be Twitter.

“There are no words to describe how pointless this loss is.”

Johny was a great person. Bad, really bad. “Rest in peace, Johnny Watson. Sending love and comfort to his family and friends.”

Parry Shen, who played Brad Cooper on the daytime soap opera, also said that his friend had a “beautiful soul.”

“The soul of Johnny Wactor was so beautiful.” “Such skill,” Shen wrote.

“As you can see from the film, always ready for anything.” Really funny.

“I was very fit, but I loved ice cream and ate a lot of junk food too.”

“We all were cheated of many years with him.”

SINNED HEART
Sofia Mattsson, who played Wactor’s wife on the drama series, wrote a tribute to him on Instagram.

“Johnny was the best ever.” So honest. Such care. Very humble and very hardworking, she wrote.

“With a big heart that brought happiness and kindness to everyone.” He always made sure everyone knew they were loved, seen, and heard.

“I admire the man he was so much and I’m a better person for having known him,” she said.

It was really lovely to be around Johnny Wactor. […] For many years, he lied to all of us.

“We had so many wonderful times together, on and off screen, and I will always treasure them very much.”

“I will miss you so much, Johnny… I’m sure you’re busy up there taking care of everyone.”

Wactor’s tragic death was talked about on the show, which showed how the cast and crew felt.

“The entire General Hospital family is heartbroken to hear of Johnny Wactor’s untimely passing,” the post said.

“He was truly unique, and it was a pleasure to work with him every day.”

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones during this difficult time.”

Robyn Bernard, who played Robyn on General Hospital, was found dead in San Jacinto, California, on March 12, 2019. She was 64 years old.

At the same time, Grant talked about how devastated the rest of their family was.

He told The Los Angeles Times, “My mother is tough as nails, but she’s broken to the bone.”

“He needs to go back to Charleston. It’s a shame. It looks like the wrong place and time happened.”

Grant also said that his older brother “did what he wanted, even until the day he died” and “lived life his way.”

His mother said in a statement, “He was a kind, loving son and brother, and he lived life to the fullest.”

“He made plans and followed through.” Our hearts and lives have a very big hole in them.”

The case is being looked into by the Central Division Homicide of the Los Angeles Police Department.
