General Hospital actress, Haley Pullos (ex-Molly Lansing-Davis) was in court on Monday appearing in an orange jump suit from serving her three-month jail term as she sat across a judge for her sentencing, and to learn if she would be released to go home.

Pullos learned she would be released from jail today, but the judge then placed her on probation for five years and ordered to work 200 hours of community service.

Dan Melnick, Pullos’ attorney, clarified the sentencing to PEOPLE, “Haley was sentenced to probation with 90 days county jail with time served, a nine-month DUI program, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) program and continuing private counseling.”

According to the Daily Mail, at the sentencing, the judge warned Pullos to never drink and drive again. He also added, ‘God forbid you cause an accident in the future and somebody dies, you will be charged with murder.’

All of Pullos’ legal woes came from when she finally pleaded no contest to driving the wrong-way on an LA freeway while she was drunk and under the influence and causing a near-fatal car crash.  The former GH star also lost her driver’s license for a year and was ordered to pay more than $8,000 in restitution to the injured driver who she collided into.

Pullos was first arrested in April 2023 after that resulted in bodily injury and property damage. She initially fled the scene but was later found to be under the influence.  The crash found Pullos trapped inside her car and needing the jaws of life to get her out, while the other drive, Courteney Wilder was hospitalized for major injuries.

In June of 2023, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office charged Pullos with one felony count of DUI causing injury, one felony count of driving with a .08 BAC causing injury as well as one misdemeanor count of hit-and-run resulting in property damage.  Then in January of 2024, Wilder hit her with a lawsuit.

When Pullos was released today not only were her parents Alex and Judy Pullos present, but so too was her on-screen mother, GH’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis). The actress first played GH’s Molly in 2009, and was with the show till May 2023 when Holiday Mia Kriegel became the first of three Molly’s until GH settled on Kristen Vaganos in the role.

So, what do you think about Haley’s release and final sentencing? Do you hope she one day returns to GH? Share your thoughts via the comment section.

I don’t care what she does as long as she doesn’t come back to GH. I’m loving nuMolly. I’d honestly just drop the whole Molly/Kristina/baby story and FF it if Pullos comes back.

I never cared for the Molly character until the current actress came along to play her. This Molly is believable as a young assistant DA who
wants to be a mother. So while I am happy Pullos has served her time and will serve probation, I don’t feel the need for her to come back to GH just yet. Let her work on her recovery.

I appreciate your comment, Harry—so heartfelt. Haley has her whole life in front of her.—I wish her the best.
And, I do agree—new Molly is amazing —very credible. I like her a lot, especially because she looks so much like my sister-in-law. LOL
Just one thing—I am very confused. How is Sonny Molly’s uncle??

Molly’s dad is Rick Lansing who is Sonny’s brother. That is how he is her uncle.

Thank you

Ric Lansing, Molly’s father (who is coming back next month) is Sonny’s half brother. They share a mother (Adela, deceased).

It was the recent scene at the court house. I now see her as Molly.. and a strong Molly too!

And yes to Harry’s thoughts.

Yeah—She fit into the character like a glove!!

Hi Celia, have missed your comments, I’m hanging in there, getting it from both sides, zI know we can’t agree with everyone. FYI, Kristina and Molly’s dad’s are half- brothers, and Molly’s dad is returning to start trouble, his specialty. I guess the new Molly must be a good actress, probably why I don’t like her, ha,ha.

Thanks, Violet—I’ve missed everyone, as well—
I don’t think I’ve ever met Rick. I wasn’t watching when he was on, I guess. Everyone is related to everyone else on soaps—how typical. LOL,
So, Molly and Kristina are both sisters and cousins? Whoa!! LOL—Later

I agree Harry although I thought she was good in the role as a child. I just can’t take her as the older Molly; her voice, that whine, her Valley Girl attitude even though she’s supposed to be a social justice warrior type; just got on my last nerve. This current actress (who still reminds me of Lisa LoCicero a bit, is just excellent in the role. She has a whole different vibe: mature, professional, grounded, and I think she and Kate Mansi play very well off each other.

Where we disagree is I have no desire to see Pullos come back at all. I, lol, just really couldn’t stand her. I read some of her tweets, I’ve seen her IG page, and she just comes off so full of herself to me. Her entire profile is one vampy selfie after another. Maybe she’ll grow up and shift her focus of herself. I know Nancy Grahn is very loyal to her which is why I’m hoping she’s not pushing Frank to bring her back.

To add  Kristen Vaganos, as Molly, feels about Pullos being released. Can’t be reassuring to know how close Nancy Grahn is to Pullos; so close that she went with Pullos’s parents to her release. I selfishly hope this doesn’t mean that the show will take her back.

I doubt KV feels slighted because Nancy is so supportive of Haley. She probably understands they have a close relationship seeing as Haley and Nancy have spent nearly 15 years working together. But I don’t think GH will bring Haley back to the show.

I’m glad you made sense of what I wrote. I just reread it and I see I left out a word or two. To clarify, I didn’t mean KV should feel slighted. I just wondered if she was concerned that Haley might be returning and that Nancy was pushing for it. As great as KV is I have a feeling Nancy would love to have her back. And we know how quickly recasts can get screwed if the original wants to or is available to return. Look what happened to Billy Miller (I miss him; still can’t believe he’s gone) when he was cast out of the role of Jason. Thankfully they kept him on the show but it seems he wasn’t happy with the way they wrote for Drew (or so it seemed from some cryptic message Kelly Monaco tweeted back when Billy left, but she decided not to elaborate).

So sad hope she learned her lesson!

I hope this will have been a learning experience for her and she continues her counseling and community service. I wish her the best. However, I think the current actress who is playing Molly is doing a great job and I hope General Hospital does not fire her to bring Haley back. They didn’t bring Tyer back and they shouldn’t bring Haley back either.

It was kind of Nancy to be there for her.

Yes it was

I have always liked this actress, best Molly ever. I hope she can pull her life together. Everyone makes mistakes, it’s not the end of the world for her. Lucky that she had the lovely Nancy Lee Grahn there for support.

I really think she should never drink and drive. She made a huge mistake which she has paid for.i hope she has learned her lesson It’s time for her to move on with her life. Everyone should get a second chance. Good luck to this beautiful talented actress.

I hope she does come back with Rick Hearst returning, it would nice.

It would really be nice if she came back. I loved her as Molly

Hopefully, she’s now on the path to a better life.

There’s no need for her to return to GH. After 2 duds, Kristen Vaganos has brought Molly a maturity and style that will work well in the long term.

Agree

I adored Haley as Molly. I still remember when she first came on GH. I miss her on the show. I lost a family member to a drunk driver, so I don’t condone her behavior. But everyone deserves a second chance. If she sincerely has remorse for her actions, as Nancy stated, and she follows the judges/courts orders, then I hope she gets another chance to work again.
Kudos to Nancy for supporting Haley and not turning her back on her. They have spent years working together and obviously built a strong relationship/friendship.

I totally get Nancy is very close to her onscreen daughters and I’m sure if she could, she would fight tooth and nail to have Molly back on the show but the actress playing Molly now is terrific and it would be an injustice to let her go just to bring Molly back in the role.

The other side of the coin is that ABC/Disney might have a “No Tolerance” rule on their actors getting slapped with a DUI as severe as Molly’s was.

Nobody has spoken about that I don’t think?

I’m glad to see her on the road to recovery, and that she has the support of Nancy, who has know her since she was a kid, everyone deserves a second chance, wishing her only the best moving forward. maybe down the line she will return to GH, never say never. But current Molly is doing an awesome job, she was on fire on yesterday episode in the scene with NuJagger (whose now a psycho villain) she stood up to him and was great, and her reaction when uncle sonny tried to hit jagger was on point. NuMolly and NuKristina are doing a great job and in their current storyline I’m on Molly side, Kristina went back on her word and her reason is weak.

Good luck, Haley. I truly hope your life has taken a positive turn—it’s worth living., God Bless.

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

Published

on

By

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).

On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..

In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”

GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW

So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!

FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD

As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and  and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”

Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.

So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL

Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.

The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.

In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”

So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
