General Hospital hasn’t used Tajh Bellow as TJ Ashford in almost a year. After his split from Molly, the doctor seemingly disappeared from Port Charles without so much as a goodbye. With Bellow nominated for a Daytime Emmy role as TJ, a renewed interest in what happened to him has been piqued.
Key Takeaways
- TJ Ashford has been missing from GH since December 2024, sparking questions about his absence.
- His breakup with Molly marked the end of one of Port Charles’s longest-running young-love stories.
- Actor Tajh Bellow remains on recurring status, but the character has yet to resurface onscreen.
- Despite family still in town, TJ has vanished without mention, leaving fans wondering where he went.
- With Molly moving toward Cody, any chance of a TJ-Molly reunion appears to be off the table—for now.
TJ Ashford on GH
Bellow was the third TJ Ashford on GH. He took over from Tequan Richmond, who held the role from 2012 through October 2018. Richmond took over for the original TJ, Krys Meyer, who only worked on the ABC soap for a few months.
Much of TJ’s story has revolved around his relationship with Molly (Kristen Vaganos). They met as teenagers and entered into a domestic partnership as adults. Both had big dreams and pursued them with determination. TJ became a doctor employed at General Hospital, and Molly works for the District Attorney’s office.
Things began to deteriorate between TJ and Molly when Kristina (Kate Mansi) became their surrogate. Things escalated because he wasn’t happy with her behavior, which strained their relationship. When Kristina fell from Ava’s (Maura West) Metro Court window and their baby girl died, it was all downhill.
Not only were they grieving the loss of their daughter, Irene, but they were grieving separately. They didn’t lean on each other, and their relationship suffered to the point that they no longer were on the same page. TJ was hopeful that they would have another child, but Molly couldn’t stand to think about having another baby.
TJ and Molly ended things. She went to live with Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn), and he was left behind in the apartment they shared.
Where has TJ Been?
The last time TJ was on GH was in December 2024. Kristina briefly mentioned him, but he wasn’t shown on GH. Bellow went to recurring status in an official capacity earlier this year, but he still hasn’t been used or mentioned much.
Despite having family in Port Charles, including his mother, Jordan (Tanisha Harper), there is no trace of him anywhere. Interestingly, having Lucas (Van Hansis) and Isaiah (Swandi Wilson) around seems to fill the doctor quota at General Hospital.
TJ hasn’t been officially written out, but when he will pop up again remains anyone’s guess. The writers have already been working on pairing Molly with Cody (Josh Kelly), so any reconciliation between Molly and TJ is unlikely.
