that would have been the best scenario!

Marth27 Martha Madison Thanks for all the well wishes! I'm having a blast at GH! Wishing Becky a full and speedy recovery!

Is she going to dye her hair, wear a wigs?

If it is only for two weeks, it may just be a case of Liz goes blonde for a bit.

Now we all know damn well JFP and Guza were sneezing in Becky's salad for WEEKS hoping to cause this.

They need a scene where she and Maxie have a tug of way over Matt.

I'm sorry to hear about Becky Herbst's illness. That's very serious and I hope she has a full recovery.

GH of all the soaps is the one that still seems most willing to temp recast. In the past I might have been more bothered by it but these days, the soaps are so terrible, a new actor in a familiar role is one of the only ways to get some entertainment.

I think we have been seeing more temp recasts recently because soaps can not go back and reschedule stuff as easily as they used to. Y&R, Days (tho they were able to re shoot it so she never aired), and GH have all had temp recasts in the past year now. I think we will be seeing it more and more.

That's probably true although most of the soaps won't be on for another year or two anyway, perhaps three. Still, it's a way to break up some of the tedium. And if Steve Burton had to take time off, we'd probably have Guza himself play Jason. You know he'd want to.

So pumped to see Martha on t.v. again.

GENERAL HOSPITAL star Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth) is recovering from viral meningitis, but she got in touch with Soaps In Depth over the weekend with a special message for her fans!

"Thank you so much for all of the well wishes and prayers," says the actress. "The last week or so has been an eye-opening experience, to say the least. I am so grateful for my overall good health. My heart goes out to those living with chronic pain. I do, however, have to admit being disappointed with my alter ego's failure to correctly diagnose my illness... back to nursing school for Nurse Webber!"

The role of Elizabeth Webber will be played by Martha Madison

Viral Meningitis, is a serious thing that can be deadly. Isn't it caught by kissing Co-Workers?

Elizabeth is single. She hasnt been kissing anyone in over a year, unless you are implying offscreen
