We haven’t seen much of TJ since he and Molly officially split up on General Hospital. Tajh Bellow took over playing TJ in 2018, replacing fan-favorite Tequan Richmond and becoming beloved in his own right. He’s done so well that he’s gotten several accolades for his soap role, and despite the lack of story for TJ lately, Bellow has a lot to celebrate.
2024 Was a Big Year For Him
Bellow shared several pics on Instagram that highlighted the praise he’s been getting recently. The first pic sets the stage by illustrating the actor looking very relaxed while seated at a major historical landmark — the El Badi Palace in Marrakesh, Morocco. His caption read, “WHAT A YEAR WE HAD!!!! ✊🏾 [General Hospital]. Playing Dr. TJ Ashford has been a groundbreaking experience for my career. Pouring into TJ as he poured into me has been illuminating in many regards.”
He even mentioned Soap Hub in his thanks to several soap sites that credited him, “with honorable placement amongst my peers over the course of 2024. Grieving such immense loss took everything in me and I’m blessed that my work resonated with you all.” The loss he referred to was playing out the death of TJ and Molly’s (Kristen Vaganos) surrogate baby, and the end of their marriage. He concluded, “I know a lot of my fans are wondering what’s next for TJ, but before I speak to that I wanted to celebrate all that we’ve accomplished together. I’m excited for this year’s EMMY AWARDS!”

He’s Been Missed
Bellow’s pics were screenshots from various soap outlets that praised his work, naming him one of the top performers in 2024, as well as a performer of the week in one case. Co-star Sawandi Wilson (Isaiah) gave a simple but powerful reply: “✊🏾🙌🏾.” Christina Ferraro, who plays Doctor Navarro on GH, replied, “👏👏👏.” She has firsthand knowledge of Bellow’s acting skills since her character appeared in several scenes with TJ and Molly through their pregnancy and surrogacy.
One fan praised Bellow with the comment, “We have all been missing you on GH!! You are so talented and deserve recognition of your outstanding work. You broke me with the scenes after Irene’s death. I am in awe of your talent. Can’t wait to see what’s next for you.” Many fans seemed to think he was leaving the show, but no official word on his status has been released yet. For now, Bellow should enjoy the well-deserved praise he’s been receiving. (Find out where TJ’s been on GH.)
