Cianci's exit capped a tumultuous week in Providence. Public Safety Commissioner Sanford Gorodetsky quit after trying to oust the police chief, Anthony Mancuso, who refused to leave.

...credits roll down the screen, no one would call for the encore the screen couldn't honor. Though dedicated fans still recovering from Springfield's exit as General Hospital's Noah Drake may leave fleetingly satisfied, not even a concert t-shirt could keep Hard to Hold from being unsatisfactorily easy to leave...
