Haley Pullos Released From Jail After Receiving Sentencing for DUI and Wrong-Way Crash
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.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
