I'm not a fan of Kirsten Storms, but i don't think her getting a DUI warrants her losing her job..She should lose her license for a year, and pay a fine..But it shouldn't affect her job..Lots of good people get DUI's, its just whether you learn from your mistake that really makes the difference..

Not surprised at all. She has been a party girl since the latter part of her Days run. I have disliked her since the last 2 years of her Days run but her antics outside of work have only served to lessen my view of her.

This was just stupid because it was a lit cigarette that could have led to bigger problems. Add the fact that she was behind a wheel on top of that and it's ridiculous. How hard is it to call a cab or someone to come and get you? I don't judge people because we all make mistakes but this girl made two big ones here.

She shouldn't be fired though unless this behavior continues and it leads to something bigger. If this becomes a recurring thing and gets worse, then I may force her to take a hiatus or something so she can get help.

Considering Genie Francis, herself (via her Lifetime Intimate Portrait) has said that she succumbed to a cocaine addiction via staff members of the show, I doubt a DUI would get Kirsten fired.

I agree that it was on her own personal time, and unless she has a "morals clause" in her contract that stipulates such events as being reasons for termination, then it shouldn't matter.

But... if this causing trouble with her work schedule, she should totally get reprimanded and work only her contracted minimum until the situation gets resolved.

But then, at the end of the day, when you have Kelly Monaco, who has posed fully nude (front and back) in Playboy magazine BEFORE you even hired her, it's incredibly hypocritical to exert a morals clause for a DUI. We don't know how intoxicated she was or what. All we know is that she was pulled over because she tossed a lit cigarette out of her car window.

Not to mention the fact that she's young, blonde and has become the latest young starlet to follow in the trend of the women Frons wants to fuck admire so much -- Paris and Lindsay. She'll probably get a stern talking to, and that's that.

I can't speak for everyone, but personally, I feel it's a victory for two reasons: 1) transparency; public awareness about irresponsible, well-to-do women who drink and drive, in the tradition of Paris and Lindsay (and therefore, awareness and public safety go hand in hand); and 2) As so many others have stated, Kristen FINALLY gets her comeuppance for putting on a show for so long. So, there's transparency there, too, seeing her true colors. All but confirming what past gossip blotters have published.

I am soooooo not defending Kirsten Storms -- I totally dislike her. But, what are they supposed to do? Change their ways of living all because they're on contract? That's not realistic. Lesli Kay and Kari Wurher's pasts could've come back to bite them after they appeared on GH as a GOTCHA GOTCHA, and they (ABC, Kay and Wurher) would still have to deal with it as if it happened recently. I don't know anything about the inner-workings of morals clauses (only that some ABC actors have been fired because of them), but I would think that if anything you do or HAVE done might pose a problem for ABC, they reserve the right to terminate employment. So, if they didn't think that soft porn (Anthony Addabo, recast Dimitri on AMC) is that big of a deal -- and that was a professional decision, unless they did it for free, then what Stormsie Wormsie does on her own time shouldn't matter either. And it won't, because young blonde celebs having DUI's is the "in" thing now.

A hopeful that auditioned for I Wanna Be A Soap Star was praised by the judges, but never made it through because he had a past felony. So, I think ABC picks and chooses who they allow to skate, and who they punish.

ABC fired Michael Nader because of his cocaine addiction -- which I found incredibly hypocritical when Walt Willey said that a lot of the AMC staff (not necessarily actors) were snorting the coke in the late 80's early 90's, and he credits Felicia Behr for getting them clean (himself included). It only became a problem with Nader because he was arrested for it, and it was publicized.

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
