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.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.
If Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) new therapist on General Hospital looks familiar to you, it’s because actress Kearran Giovanni, who plays Dr. Nichols, previously played a doctor on One Life to Live!.
Viewers tuning-in to the Thursday, September 10 episode of GH got their first look at Dr. Nichols who has been brought in to help Anna recover from her PTSD and trauma following the reveal that she has been suffering from a break in reality since before being put in mental health facility in France, after being gaslighted by Cullum and company earlier in the year.
One Life to Live fans will recall that Kearran Giovanni played Dr. Vivian Wright in 2009, and it was then she first worked with current General Hospital EP, Frank Valentini, who at the time was at the helm in Llanview.

WHERE ELSE HAVE YOU SEEN KEARRAN GIOVANNI?
Giovanni appeared on OLTL in the recurring role through 2012 and in the final ABC episode of the beloved series was the the ob/gyn who delivered Destiny Evans (Shenell Edmonds) and Matthew Buchanan’s (Eddie Alderson) baby into the world, whom they named Drew Buchanan II after Bo Buchanan’s (Robert S, Woods) late son. In addition, Vivian has been dating Shaun Evans (Sean Ringgold).
In addition to One Life to Love, Giovanni has very impressive credits having appeared in numerous TV series and motion pictures including starring in the TNT drama Major Crimes from 2012-18, ABC’s Designated Survivor 2017-19, the CW’s Black Lightning from 2019-20. Most recently, Giovanni appeared on the Fox series, The Resident and has a recurring role on the CW’s crime series, Walker from 202-2024.
HEALING ANNA
On today’s General Hospital, after Anna’s harrowing meltdown where she almost shot and killed Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) after seeing visions of “Peter August” (Wes Ramsey), Jason (Steve Burton) saved the day and talked Anna down from committing murder. Now, Dr. Nichols was introduced as a valuable staff member at the hospital. Although, this marked the first time in the history of the show we have heard of her character.
So, do you remember seeing Kearran Giovanni on One Life to Live? Happy to see that Anna may have a qualified therapist in charge of her healing, unless the doctor turns out to be not on the up and up? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Anna Breaks Down in Front of Jason and Britt After Shots Are Fired
The Wednesday, September 9 episode of General Hospital featured top-notch performances by Finola Hughes and Steve Burton, as Anna holds Jason and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at gunpoint on Mount Emerson.
Anna is not in her right mind as hallucinations of Peter (Wes Ramsey) overtake her, egging her on to shoot and kill Britt. Jason begs Anna to put down the gun, but it’s clear Anna is speaking to someone who is not there, but in a direction that is just past Britt.
Suddenly, Anna screams at Britt, “You’re just like your father!” Anna also tells Britt that she knew Britt was aware that she was locked up on Spoon Island and did nothing to save her. Britt turns to Jason and tells him she had no idea Anna was on the Island, “until Cullum showed up in Port Charles.” That declaration gave Jason pause.

“PETER” TAKES A BULLET
Next, Anna is overcome with angst, filled with tears and screams out, “I won’t let you beat me!” She fires the gun where the imaginary Peter was standing, as Britt screams and Jason dove to cover her. Now completely shaken, Jason took the weapon from Anna and ordered Britt to leave the scene as Anna collapsed in Jason’s arms.
Jason was so concerned for Anna. She reveals she’s been seeing visions of Peter August since France. Jason shared his theory with Anna that she was manifesting her worst fears about Faison. However he knows deep down Anna would never have shot Britt. Jason promises to come back and clean up the area, but would take Anna home first.

ANNA ADMITS TO EMMA SHE TRIED TO KILL BRITT
At Anna’s, Jason brings her in the front door as Emma is there. Jason tells Emma (Braedyn Bruner) he would like to return and spend the night. A confused and worried Emma get the full story from her grandmother.
Anna explains she tried to kill Britt and she is not as well as she was pretending to be in France. Cut to: Jason cleaning up the site of Anna’s plot against Britt on Mount Emerson. He moves over and finds bullet casings on the ground and examines one of them.
The story climax also signaled the end of the run for Wes Ramsey, who has been showing up on episodes over the last several months as Anna’s dark side conscience. Now that Anna was able to break the psychological hold visions of “Peter” had on her, it ends this latest return of Ramsey’s.
So, what did you think about the scenes between Anna and Jason? Do you think Jason and Britt’s relationship will come to an end now that seemingly Britt revealed she knew Anna was held captive after Cullum came to town? Glad to know Anna won’t be haunted by visions of Peter August anymore? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
