I actually read this from a DD insider. I do think JMB is leaving.

Ps, Addie did you get my PM?

If she does leave I want a speech on how "living with the Quartermaine's" namely Tracy and Dillon,made her grow as an actress. I mean if/from JMB point of view that was her on screen family Tracy was her "mom" and it was like the four of them. They were a cute family,dyfunctional and crazy,but that's just the way they are and their children (on-screen of course) . JMB and JE were my favorite Mother/Daughter pairing,even if Tracy was her stepmother. I'm pretty sure her biggest female (actress) influence was/is JE. Unfortunatly FV/RC don't like the TraLu relationship because she was replaced with a mother-in-law. But for the 05-present cast on GH,I'm pretty sure it is sad to see her go,as mentioned before, JE and TG will most likely miss her the most. I knw that most of us don't enjoy/not like/hate JMB or Lulu, including me (on the Lulu part) but she was part of a family and relationships I enjoyed.

Let the character go! Time for Dante to be appealing 100% of the time, and he can't do that if 75% of his screen time is spent with that life draining POS!

BYE Jule!

However, I salute anyone who leaves FRon's Ratchet Hospital!

Not too sad by this, if it proves true.

Dante is much better away from Lulu. Although it's likely they are recasting if she does leave. Maybe the actress will have some spark.

Wow I actually like Dante more with Lulu... lol

Dante is irrelevant without Lulu. If she were to leave, I'd rather they leave together

We already have a thread on this complete with audition scripts and casting calls for a new Lulu

so what, who cares? Major? Really?!

Lulu/JMB is def major to gh...

Totally agree!

I'll miss looking at those legs of hers, but I won't miss that permanent frown face. They should recast the role because it will be strange not having any of L&L's children on canvas.

Not really. Lulu's a pretty easily recastable character.

My reaction is the same as when the Burton departure rumors first surfaced; I will believe it when I see it. She is just like Burton. They are always leaving until they sign the next contract. If she does leave, I think that this would be good for GH. This is their opportunity to recast the character with a solid actress with some sex appeal.
