Daytime Confidential

Will Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth) be leaving GH?

SID confirmed the news. Statement from ABC:

[NYC123]

If it's true who didn't see this one coming?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I wish I was still invested in anything in daytime to give two shits about these firings...

[OLTL_fan]

Yea this really isnt a shock. This show should get rid of a few more useless characters.

[AllMyDaysatGH]

[dragonflies]

Very bad idea if true

[alexisfan07]

And there it is. Very sad, but I saw it coming. Incredibly sad that they see Elizabeth as this invaluable and they've made that painfully obvious by the character trashing.

[Adam]

So I am guessing this was Dan Kroll's blind item a week or so back?

[quartermainefan]

A real missed opportunity with Jonathan Jackson back. I don't understand how GH thinks. Lucky and Liz were one of their biggest success stories in the 90s and this is the first time since those days they had the two actors back together. Outside of that angle, I don't see a compelling aspect to Liz, but how could GH not try to recapture the old glory with these two?

[Wendy]

Would not shock me.

As I said, with Steve Burton talking in code and "things will be controversial", plus Liz suddenly being irrelevant, the writing was on the wall, IMO.

[AllMyDaysatGH]

She is not used very much and the show has totally been decimating her character but IMO it will still be a tragedy if she leaves Liz is pretty much the last person that ties the Hardy's to the cast. RH has so many loyal fans, I am SAD!!

I'm almost positive!! At least theres a bright side to this, it's not AM!!

[quartermainefan]

I was just rereading this again...JKJ is out, Barbara Bloom is out...but Rebecca Herbst out is unthinkable?

[Mr. Vixen]

I WISH we could get rid of that pointless bitch.

I am so, so sad This is just horrible.

They've really ruined the character SO much the past year. They've written her into a complete corner. It's sad because SO much could be done with her.

One more reason not to watch this show.

Looks like it's possibly true, Jamey just tweeted this to someone:

"I always write rumor to cover myself, since no soap ever confirms anything with DC, but its true"

[alexisfan07]

As much as I bitch about AMC and OLTL, I thank the heavens every day I don't watch GH. The one thing I cannot stand is complete regard for history and vets, something GH has been doing a whole lot of lately.
