Is Rebecca Herbst Safe at General Hospital?

This is another one of those situations that makes me see red. And taking a cue from Jamey I am going to leave it at that.

So they are getting rid of a character who has been on the show for over 10 years in favor on the newbies ? This show blows and they wonder why their show is tanking. I do like Dante though yum yum !

WOW.......I hope she stays.....I like Liz....I want a steamy hot pairing for her....

That may be the straw that finally takes GH off my DVR. I think I could take a Jasam reunion if Liz also had a romance storyline (and this recent L&L2 does not count as a romance storyline). I still like other characters, but this may just tip me over the edge. Unless a storyline comes up that I become addicted to... I hate threatening but Rebecca Herbst has been my favorite character for over a decade. I will be very sad if this is true.

Off course, they need to use the budget for more incestous children of the Sperminator, more mobsters and to pay Teethan and the Claw.

I have watched GH for a few years now and have seen a lot of favs come and go, but that would be the last straw. I get that LL2 is not working and they don't want to put her back with Jason, but that doesn't mean she can't be a viable part of the show. If she isn't going to be with Jason, Elizabeth def needs a new hot pairing!

Sad.

Yet another reason why I'm still NOT watching GH.
TIIC make me sick!

Hope it is not true
Liz is important to the show

WOuldnt it be true that everyone with a contract pending has a "future in question". I think this is once again going to be much ado about nothing. From what I understand her salary isnt that high and they have big story coming up with Niz. I dont see her going anywhere.

Hey I came over to see if the new abc promo was up. With Regan on leave, we dont have a new thread for GH so can I ask here - did anyone see the new JaSam promo. Good stuff!!

ETT, where exactly does Regan get her promos? Uncle Luke is away, and I am at a loss with that one! LOL

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just saw the promo EET.....YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't want to piss any Liz fans off though.....I really do hope she stays....It's ridiculous that TPTB can't find anything to do with her because she isn't with Jason....the same thing would have happened to Kemo if Lusam didn't take off....Guza just can't write for those outside of his "holy trinity"...

the promo is on youtube...at least that's where I found it...

I have no clue...I just saw it over at GHOFS (I think that was where) but I only post here. It was Michael and Xtina on the run, Jason saying going after them might be dangerous and then the voice over about old feelings resurfacing as Jason is brushing sams face. It had some Jerry and of course Sarah ordering that Michael be brought to her. Chills...SJB is just too damn talented.

I hope that it is not true. I am waiting patiently for her to get a story so I can atleast be interested in GH again.

GHAddict you said a mouthful!! That was one of the reasons I never could totally get behind LuSam...the refuse to write for Greg Vaughn and for the life of me I dont know why. I could have been really excited about LuSam IF their relationship had played out ON SCREEN. Hard to root for something that is next to invisible. I think thats part of the reason LL2 doesnt get more support - tptb dont write for them. They seem to like TC more, so if they put Lizard with Nik, she should see more airtime. The question is whether they really go there, or if its a tease/obstacle for nikbecca.

I saw the promo too good for JaSam
here is the link to who wants to see it :

Jamey not for you LOl

I hope Rebecca Herbst is not leaving, but General Hospital has undervalued her so maybe another show could pick her up. I envisioned her as Mac on Y&R. She would have been the perfect Mac. Rebecca is beautiful and talented; and she had me crying when Elizabeth's son Jake was kidnapped (both times). Her pairings on GH were the best since Sonny and Brenda, in my opinion. Lucky (with Jonathan Jackson) and Elizabeth were so sweet, and Elizabeth and Jason have been daytime's most romantic angsty pairing yet. Their fans have been through the ringer for 10 years come August! I think it is a crying shame that the pairing of Elizabeth and Jason were ended in the way that they were, but I have to believe that Rebecca Herbst will go on to do better things if she leaves GH.

What are you crazy people talking about. It makes perfect sense to get rid of a popular talented actress who is playing a popular veteran character who happens to have chemistry with anything that breathes. Why cant you people see the genius in this decision.

I hope she does not go. She is one of the few GH women that I like.

I didn't know soapstars without a future in question existed. Then again, I'm addicted to arguably the worst ran soap on the air.

I really hope this isn't true. I like Liz... I just want her to be with her own men instead of trying to break up happy couples like JaSam. I actually like L&L2, but I'm not IN LOVE with them or anything. I agree that she should be coupled up with someone in a hot storyline. They can do a whole "single mother gets her groove back" type of S/L. I just saw the new GH promo, and I FLOVE it, of course, because now is when the JaSam reunion starts getting REALLY GOOD!! Seems like old times with Jason touching Sam's face. It looks like TPTB have answered my prayers by having Jason go after Sam instead of her running after him. Sam has apologized and tried to make up for what she did over and over again, and Jason needs to make the first move!!

I hope and pray that Rebecca Herbst stays because she is one of the only female actresses on this show that I actually like. Rebecca has chemistry with everyone on the show, Rebecca plays Elizabeth Webber a beautiful, sexy, mother, friend. The way this show cuts vets to bring on newbies is crazy, before long they will be no one anyone can identify with on this show. Rebecca Herbst has been on this show for 12 years and that should count for something. I hope she stays.

Rebecca Herbst is one of their finest and classiest actresses. I don't know what's wrong with GH lately. They have their most non talented actresses up front and back burn their most talented,loyal actresses. IMO; Rebecca has not recently gotten any kind of good story line to showcase her amazing talent. They are show casing boring, sleezy con woman, mob type women etc. And they wonder why their ratings are in the toilet? You need both kinds of actresses to make a soap; but where are the good ole days; where good and hard working women always get "their" guy and come out on top in the end..that's what I want to see on a soap. I need an escape from reality; not sleeze and soft porn thrown in my face..Bring back "love in the afternoon";and some decent acting; which I think Becky Herbst is a fine representation of.thanks,nancy,ct.

I will be so mad if they let Rebecca go. She's one of my favourites still left. Liz needs a frontburner story and not with Nicholas I want their friendship to stay intact. Rebecca has chemistry with everyone so why is she being wasted? grr.I love Liz and Lucky as a pair but I would take Liz and Jason anyday!!!

If Rebecca leaves, either by choice or forced - I go to. She is the only reason I've hung on so long. Not even Scrubs has the power to keep me going with this sinking ship.

That being said - I tend to agree with EET - this is probably much ado about nothing - especially if there are contract negotiations in the mix.

Are they seriously kidding me? Rebecca Herbst is one of the best actresses they have and they are looking to get rid of her? for what? For the newbies, for sleezy women characters who flaunt their assets instead of using their brains. Someone over at GH better wake up fast between hearing this and watching that promo, I think GH is headed towards cancellation. Killing off beloved characters, firing wonderful actresses/actors, the destruction of core characters, destruction of history is drivings viewers away by the thousands, get a clue GH.

GH needs to wake up and value what they the characters that have a rich history with the show and the other characters.

I did see this coming because of the way TPTB have been writing or not writing for Elizabeth. It's been bothering me since the scene outside the courtroom in December.

Isn't this what happens to all of Jason's loves...(oh except for one whose character was so mistreated and wronged by TPTB in 2006 by GH). It looks like Sam survived better than most.

I hate to sound petty, and prefer to sound outraged, but I think the anticipated story will be a letdown anyway because Jason without a doubt has become one of the most boring heroes in daytime.

I'm not a big Liz fan but I adore Rebecca Herbst. I really want her to stay.

NO NO NO NO NO ..... I really hope this is one of those things that just remains talk. I think after all these years of watching that might give me the excuse I need to just shut it off as it is these days I fast forward more then I watch anyway.
