Kimberly McCullough Shares Remembrance of the Late TV Legend Norman Lear on the Set of ‘One Day At a Time’
Television legend, Norman Lear passed away on Wednesday at the age of 101 years old. The comedy genius who created, wrote and produced some of the greatest sitcoms of all time died of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
Lear’s body of work included: All in the Family, One Day at a Time, Maude, The Jeffersons and Good Times, Sanford & Son, plus the soapy, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.
General Hospital’s beloved Kimberly McCullough (Robin) has been working as a director in the television industry for years now and upon learning the news of Lear’s passing, shared a very touching moment via her Instagram that stayed with her through her directorial career. McCullough had been a director on the reboot of One Day at a Time that featured EGOT winner, Rita Moreno.

McCullough expressed: “My hat goes off to your, sir Norman. What a wonderful life you lived. In my very first directing job, only 6 weeks after having a baby, I was feeling fragile and not quite ready to get back to work. On the set of One Day At A Time, you squeezed my chin and said ‘Look at you! A baby directing our show.’ It wasn’t condescending at all. In fact you seemed thrilled by how far we’d come in the industry, giving young women a seat at the table. I replied, ‘I’m not a baby. I just had a baby.”‘
McCullough added: “You gave me nod of approval saying, ‘Even better. You let me know if you need anything.’ That meant the world to me. Thank you for your service of the television industry, of our country and being a stand up human. #ripnormanlear”
In a previous post pictured with Norman Lear, Kimberly shared: “Thank you changing the world with your storytelling. Honored to say I’ve been able to work with you. One time I heard you say “but where is the HEART of the story?” I have a feeling you’ve asked that question a lot…”
The Lear family also put out this statement on the death of the iconic TV genius: “Thank you for the moving outpouring of love and support in honor of our wonderful husband, father, and grandfather,” the Lear family said in a statement. “Norman lived a life of creativity, tenacity, and empathy. He deeply loved our country and spent a lifetime helping to preserve its founding ideals of justice and equality for all. Knowing and loving him has been the greatest of gifts. We ask for your understanding as we mourn privately in celebration of this remarkable human being.”
Tonight, across all network television, an in memoriam card will air at 8PM ET/PT to pay tribute to Lear and acknowledging his influence in the medium.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: What are Your First Impressions of Charles Mesure as ‘Mr. Brennan’?
There’s a new villain in town and things are about to get turned upside down for Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) as General Hospital circles back around to the looming mysterious ‘Pikeman’ story and who was the target of the shooting at the Metro Court that put Curtis in a wheelchair.
Last Friday, and into yesterday’s Tuesday, December 5th episode of the ABC daytime drama series, viewers were introduced to “Mr. Brennan” who has to turn out to be the dastardly “Pikeman.”
If his portrayer looks familiar, actor Charles Mesure has appeared in numerous television series and film roles including: Once Upon a Time, Castle, The Mentalist, Desperate Housewives, Bones and more. Mesure is also British-born, but moved to Australia when he was younger, accounting for the fabulous accent “Mr Brennan” has on GH.

In story on GH, as Sonny was telling “Mr. Brennan’s” minion, Hume that he would no longer run Pikeman’s shipments through his territory, the guy showed up at Kelly’s Diner with an ominous message for Carly (Laura Wright), although she doesn’t know it.
On Tuesday, in his room at the Metro Court, Brennan is upset that Sonny won’t work with him and tells Hume he plans to stay in Port Charles to make sure the shipments to Canada are ready to go. We also learn that apparently the head of the WSB has taken a leave of absence. Brennan reveals that being the director has its benefits. He then says he got rid of Frisco and he can work remotely and now things are falling into place.
Hume asks Brennan who the intended target is in all of this, and he says both Sonny and Anna. “Brennan’s” goal is to force Sonny’s hand to continue the shipments and more. Meanwhile, Curtis on the case as to who is behind his shooting and more.
So, what has been your impressions thus far of GH’s newest baddie as played by Charles Mesure? Let us know in the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Chase Proposes to Brook Lynn; Kristina and Blaze Share a Kiss
Finally, many GH viewers got their wish, when on the Monday, December 4th episode of the ABC daytime drama series, Chase (Josh Swickard) got down on one knee (a few times) and proposed to Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton).
At first, Brook Lynn balked at his attempt as she believed Gloria (Ellen Travolta) and Lois (Rena Sofer) were pressuring him to do so. When she tells Chase marriage is off the table he pulls out an engagement ring. Chase reveals he was planning on proposing at Christmas, so he had the ring ready to go. A romantic Chase shares that he doesn’t want to waste one more day as he clearly knows what matters now … her! With that, Chase gets back down on his knees and proposes again, and this time Brook Lynn says, “yes!” The two seal the deal with a kiss!
Molly (Kristen Vaganos) breaks the news to TJ (Tajh Bellow), that she now wants to accept her sister, Kristina’s (Kate Mansi) offer to be their surrogate, after all the failures they have been through in trying to find a candidate that will stick. While TJ voices his concerns, he eventually comes around and tells Molly, “Let’s have a baby,” and now seems excited about the prospect of Kristina being the answer to their prayers. They seal the deal with a kiss!

Kristina and Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez) get together with a bottle of champagne, since Blaze’s latest song just hit number one on the charts. During their conversation, Kristina asks what is Blaze’s real name? She reveals it’s “Alison”.

Later, Kristina opens up about her past and her abusive relationship with Keifer, her short marriage to Trey and then how she went away to college and fell for her professor Parker Forsythe (formerly Ashley Jones). She then reveals Parker went back to her ex. However, Kristina’s takeaway was she realized she was clearly into women. That leaves the moment open for Blaze to make a move on Kristina and the two share a kiss.

So, three kisses moved the stories forward on this episode of GH. Which are you most happy about? Chase and Brook Lynn getting engaged? GH moving forward with a same-sex romance for Kristina and Blaze, or TJ and Molly coming together to agree to let Kristina be their surrogate? Three kisses, three different stories. Let us know via the comment section below.

I hope not, I never could stand Scotty
well if Scotty is coming back… is it for Robin’s funeral or because Heather is is coming back, or maybe Laura or Lucy?
Fans I am beginning to get real nervous. Every soap that was in trouble or was on the verge of cancellation started bringing people back. So my question to all of you out there is this a good thing or the beginning of the end?
That can’t afford all this coming back for a genre who claims they have to keep COST down. These legacy actor’s to these shows cost money. Trust me they know the signifciance they play is n the show’s History. This is around character number 10 coming back, along with the added OLTL star’s. No way can they afford this. Something is going on……..
Love it! More legacy characters returning! GH is on FIRE!!!
I have always loved Kin as Scott(y) Baldwin..I would love him to come back..heck, bring Jackie Zeman back to! Bring GH back to the 80’s! lol
I love Jackie and I met her once and she was the MOST gracious. But, have U seen Jacklyn lately? She is not camera ready anymore. She had some bad surgery and her face is hooked up. Unlike Monica, who looks excellent as if she aged like that, Jackie Zeman wasn’t so lucky with her surgent. For those reasons, I doubt she will be asked back, bc certainly, that could have her back from time to time bc Carly does need her mother sometime, huh?
Where on earth do they say Boobie is on the show anyway?
WHATS GOING ON HERE?maybe the one life to live h8ters are getting revenge,lol.I forgot where I saw a picture of jackie and she did look like her skin was pulled over her face real tight ,did not look good.there is such a thing as running out of skin to pull,hell, the tear ducks are probably on the top of there heads,can you imagine where joan rivers are ,long gone by now.the thought of not being able to move your lips(lisa rinna)or you cant move your face,these people are addicted to plastic surgery ,wish I had that kind of money.Id move to wine country and grow grapes,close to the ocean.
Its a shame. Jackie Zeman is a great actress, natural like, like Jane Elliot, Leslie Charleston, etc…Too bad she went over board w/the plastic surgery. Think she aired about 3 yrs ago or so. When you don’t look like yourself anymore it’s too much.
Great- now bring back Jacklyn Zeman. Zeman is a GH legend- her scenes with Carly (then played by Sarah Brown- now Madison on Days) were riveting and memorable, all these years later- bring back Zeman!!
I remember seeing scotty years ago with Lee Baldwin who played his father……He was alway’s getting into some kind of trouble…..Miss Bobby Spencer………What happen to Monica Quatermaine????? Did not watch GH for a while…..But back watching GH now…Trying to get familiar with all the new faces… It was smokin today… What do you think about Maxie???????? she said it was all her fault about Robin’s death…And Blair was WONDERFUL today.. So much EMOTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She made me cry… Nt. Tues. is the day for Michael Easton’s arrival on GH!!!!!!!!On 3/13… More good stories to come for John McBain (M. Easton) on GH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSS!!!
bring laura back with you.
I’m so excited that Kin Shriner is coming back !!!!!!
Unfortunately JZ did what so many do of women in showbiz they start messing with nature that is the only reason I can figure it out Laura Wright made the comment ever since she took over the role of Carly she did not work with JZ at all
But Laura has worked with Jackie since she has been on GH. I remember it maybe over a year ago, or last year. It was in the hospital. She came up out of the blue. I remember it well bc I was looking for the chemistry of mother daughter like Bobby had with Sarah and Tamara. It was such a short scene (Bobby was at work) that I couldn’t read anything into it.
Bringing Scotty back is a good thing for Port Charles and stirring up a lot of trouble which will make it more interesting and sitting on the edge. Hooray hope it happens!!
I’ll be thrilled to see him. I wish he would bring GF back with him, but I have a feeling that she will come much later. In the meantime, he can explain what happened after Scott got on the plane with Laura! lol
They should bring JZ/Bobbie back. Plastic surgery is neither here nor there. She is beloved by long term fans and so is her character. And Lucas should come back with her. Luke needs some centering/grounding.
I heard they are looking for a lucus so thats a good thing, my wish list is for genie francis, and not for a few days but to stay bobbie to.
Thats awesome that Kin (Scott) is returning. He will fit back in perfect. Especially with scenes of him & Luke ! Any chance of his daughter Serena coming back as well ? Would love to see Lucy & Kevin return too ! Oh & with Heather returning, Scott will surely be welcomed back. Be like the old days with Scott & Heather. Just have to add Laura next !
