Awesome interview Michael and Kimberly!!! Thank you Michael!!
She ia so great and loved your questions and her answers are so much better because she is talking with you! Love her and hope she does come back soon and absolutely no recasts!

maybe now the Robin/Scrub fans will STFU and quit bashing Teresa and the Sabrina character! KM has given Sabrina and Patrick her seal of approval!

move forward people!

It isn’t just the Scrubs/Robin fans that don’t like the Sabrina Character…It’s not the fans fault that Sabrina is just THAT BORING! not needed of a character!

Crystal
Guest
Crystal

I don’t see her as a boring character, she is the exact type of “character” that Robin would want for Patrick and Emma! they are both in the medical field and Emma loves her!

Glad KM wants the Patrick character to continue and flourish on the show even if she is not there!

ITA Carm! I hear many who don’t like the character,and has nothing to do with Scrubs. a writer making a character so perfect and making her get ALL Robins life doesn’t work well for many and not just Scrub fans.

Though I do love KMc/Robin, and wish her well on any endeavor she chooses, I still don’t like the pairing of Sabrina and Patrick. She looks like his daughter. Even with his mistakes, his character had grown and matured over the years, and I feel that they have backtracked on who he had become to force their characters to fit. It still doesn’t work. She looked more fitting with Milo than she ever could with Patrick. JMO

I loved Robin, too. Watch GH since I was in middle sshool. However, I strongly disagree, Sabrina is exactly what Patrick needs. I feel he was backtracking with the Britch and it is high time he gets some stability in his life. Sabrina is exactly what he needs-she is smart, talented (I know you heard her amazing voice at the Nurses’ Ball), loving and nurturing among other things. What more can a single father ask for in a partner.

All that is happening is the old writers from One Life To Live are re-creating the same old tired characters from that show onto GH. We need some real GH characters. We need Robyn, we need Jason back and get rid of that guy who the writers worshipped on one life to live. And Morgan….the actor playing this character is straight out It of the one life to live play book. I am sure true fans remember the fantastic character who played Morgan, not this meathead. They would never fight over some bad a tress and oh yes she is… Read more »

Love Kimberly and Robin. There is only one Robin and that is Kimberly.. Now lets get Robin back with HER husband and child. Patrick hasn’t moved on and I don’t believe he loves anyone but Robin. I hear words and see no REAL feelings just people who forced Patrick to move on certainly not the Love storylike Robin and Patrick had. Patrick and robin have a deep connection not a forced couple . I see a writer who used ROBINS FAMILY/CHILD to get nurse liked. No way would Patrick be with anyone but his TRUE LOVE and SOULMATE Robin. Need… Read more »

It would be one thing if Patrick and Sabrina made sense but they don’t. There isn’t any chemistry there. No angst whatsoever which is what a soap couple needs to keep them compelling and not boring. This couple puts me to sleep and I never thought I would say that about the character of Patrick.

Chemistry isn’t thtowing yourself at someone in a shower. At first Patrick and Robin didn’t makes sense but eventually there relationship grew on us. Like many of Robin relationships, she was always the sensible one. I feel Sabrina is a wonderful character and given the chance, she may surprise all of you Robin fans. After all I grew up watching Robin grow but it is time to let go.

Kim
Guest
Kim

Actually I wasn’t even thinking about chemistry in terms of throwing oneself at someone else. I was thinking of chemistry in the natural way two characters respond to one another and these two characters just don’t have it. Also I am a Patrick and Robin fan. Not just a Robin fan and I just never thought the character of Patrick would become boring if he was paired with someone else after Kimberly left the show but that is exactly what happened. What made the character of Patrick tick and work is now gone and I feel a lot of that… Read more »

This interview has just confirmed what I suspected-Kim is taking advantage of the situation, and doesn’t give a damn. The arrogance she just showed is mind-blowing. She doesn’t want to be there, but yet she doesn’t want Frank to recast Robin. She knows fans are angry, but makes no sign to rectify anything. C’mon Kim, make a decision-you’re either in or out. GH fans deserve better, this is pathetic

Anna
Guest
Anna

That’s not what she’s saying at all. She said the recast would never happen because she has been playing this role for almost 30 years, and the producers wouldn’t do that. It’s the same reason you aren’t going to see a Jason recast. There are some characters that are too tied up in their actors for a recast to make sense. Also, characters come and go on soaps all of the time. Kimberly took a break around 15 years ago and then came back in 2006. She then stayed for six years. Whose to say she won’t come back in… Read more »

Why do we keep blaming KMC. Maybe she is ready to come back and it’s the writers that don’t want to. Especially since Sabrina is their favorite pet now. They already manage to shove her down Patrick’s throat.

Good interview. I agree with her about some things but other comments from her annoyed me. All I know is I need Robin back with Emma. I hate that GH has stuck Robin’s daughter on Suckbrina propping duty. That character sucks so much she literally needs everyone she interacts with telling the audience how awesome she is and how much we should love her. Sorry, not working. It’s actually an EPIC FAIL for me. Note to the writers: If you have to try THAT hard maybe it’s not working and you should move on!

The character of Sabrina is sweet, innocent and caring. What would you rather see, Patrick without a wife and Emma without a mother. R with someone like Britt, who is emotionally disturbed. I have watched GH for 35 years and would love for them to bring Robin bck, I watched Kimberly grow up on that show, even named my child after her character. But the show must go on, and if Kimberly isn’t going to return, then Sabrina is the best choice for Patrick and Emma.,, Although my girls and I would love for Robin to return from the grave,,… Read more »

I loved seeing Robin/Kimberly grow up, and become a doctor and mother and Patrick’s wife. It appears from the interview that Kimberly will come back for a time to end the story- we know Robin’s really being held captive. How can she come back, finish the story line (that would have to be come back to PC) and then leave again? she says the character won’t be recast. If she’s not coming back for good- that’s kind of selfish. I have mixed feelings. i would like Robin to return for good and be with Patrick. But I want Kimberly to… Read more »

You’ve hit upon my major problem with this situation. I will ALWAYS respect her decision to become a director, but decisions have consequences. She’s got Ron and Frank over a barrel, and she knows it-because rabid fans just can’t accept her being gone. But, she has done NOTHING to give fans a show of good faith. GH fans deserve better than this

Lin
Guest
Lin

What do you see as a solution, Troy, both for the show and fans. In a way it was better to think she was “gone” from the explosion than have her held captive forever and show up for a few min. here and there. I hope they don’t decide to kill her off or have her break up with patrick. The only long term solution I can see is to look long and hard and find the most “perfect” replacement they can, and have her escape or be sprung. Maybe they should have had the actress who plays Sabrina play… Read more »

Troy Turner
Guest

All this lies at Kim’s feet, unfortunately. She MUST make a decision before anything else can happen. Frank has been INCREDIBLY patient-so he can’t force her to come back, or she could show the back of her hand and stay gone. But, there comes a point where the good of the show outweighs the needs of the performer, and if we haven’t passed that point already-we’re awfully close

Above someone shared a blog that Kimberly and Michael contributed to. I recommend everyone read it, it was really good. It also links to an episode in which Stone came back in 2010 to talk to Robin. You must go to that blog and see that episode. Robin is in a well (after patrick cheats on her) and Stone comes to her. it was fabulous and Michael (Stone) is so good looking. he was a cute boy, but as a man he is one of the best looking men I’ve ever seen. I wonder if they could bring him back… Read more »

I love the paring of Sabrina & Patrick! She doesn’t look like his daughter. I agree that the character of Patrick has grown and matured over the years but they haven’t backtracked. and even though I love Kimberly Mccullough Patrick deserves to move on and be happy even though right now it seems the Britch (their words not mine) is complicating his life. Kudos!! to Ron Carlivati and Frank Vallentine they are the best things to hit GH since Gloria Monty! and to the Actor and Actress who portray Patrick and Sabrina KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

At some point down the road they could do a take on the movies, “My Favorite Wife” or “Move Over, Darling” and have Robin come back before or after Patrick marries Sabrina or even someone else down the way. Robin could also sucumb to the Stockholm syndrome and fall for one of the people she is helping to find a cure for… be it Jerry Jaks or possibly there are others she is being forced to find cures for… other Dr. Obrect patients or Faison’s colleagues. She could also discover that she loves finding complex cures for un-chartered diseases/conditions and… Read more »

I love that Kimberly said that Sabrina could have Patrick…for a minute. LMBO! Kim is awesome and I would loooooove to see her come back and reclaim her rightful place in Patricks arms. And Sabrina has been great to Emma but she can never replace Robin being Emma’s mom. So I hope Robin comes home ASAP but only if she gets Patrick and Emma back.

I REALLY THOUGHT THEY WERE GONNA BRING BACK ROBIN DURING NURSES BALL, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT AND SAD ALL AT THE SAME TIME. GREAT FOR PATRICK AND EMMA AND SAD FOR PATRICK AND SABRINA. WHEN BRIT CAME OUT AND MADE HER ANNOUNCEMENT I REALLY THOUGHT ROBIN WAS GONNA COME OUT THEN AND TELL BRIT WHERE SHE COULD GET OFF!!!!!!! DAMN IT!!!!!! ROBIN NEEDS TO COME BACK NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Zeke to Jordan on His Arrival Back in Port Charles: “This Place Is Looking Better By The Minute”

As many had predicted, it turned out that Portia’s (Brook Kerr) brother, Zeke (Gavin Houston) did pick-up and promptly hit the sheets with Curtis’ (Donnell Turner) ex-wife, PCPD commissioner, Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper). It all happened on Tuesday’s episode of General Hospital.

Jordan, who was already reeling and trying to get over Curtis, after he went back to Portia, is having a drink at the Metro Court pool. She meets a handsome man at the bar.  The guy happens to be Zeke.  That’s ‘Zeke’ as in Portia’s brother, who is back in town.

Zeke introduces himself to Jordan. At first, she is a bit dismissive. However, she quickly realizes her mood is her own doing when she admits to kissing her ex, who then went back to his wife.

As she looks at Zeke, Jordan says she is not wasting another minute on her former flame and offers to buy Zeke a drink.  When Jordan asks where he’s from, Zeke shares that he’s new to Port Charles, and adds, “The place is starting to look better by the minute.”

What followed … and quickly … was Zeke and Jordan heading to his hotel room for a night of steamy passion.  We also see that Jordan took off her ring when a pool boy found it when he cleaned up the bar.

So, what do you think will be the fallout when Jordan learns Zeke is Portia’s brother? Are you all-in for a Jordan/Zeke romance? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Kate Mansi On Contract at General Hospital

Former Days of our Lives Daytime Emmy-winning actress, Kate Mansi (ex-Abigail), now General Hospital’s new Kristina Corinthos-Davis, is apparently on contract with the series.

Recently, General Hospital viewers who catch the closing credits of the episodes noticed that Mansi’s name is listed with the other contract players from the long-running ABC soap opera; currently celebrating its 60th year on the air.

Mansi, who replaced another Daytime Emmy-winner, Lexi Ainsworth, made her debut on the ABC soap opera back on May 24th. It is believed that a major storyline is on its way for the character of Kristina, which will have her more prominent in story in the months to come.

Ainsworth had previously played the role of Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Alexis'(Nancy Lee Grahn) daughter from 2009 through to her last appearance on the April 27th episode of this year.

Soap Opera Digest chatted with Mansi for their upcoming issue where she addressed replacing Ainsworth: “There will be glimmers of things that are similar and things that are really different. I appreciate the support of my fans and also Lexi’s. Something I learned as I grew up is that things aren’t always black and white, and two things can be true at the same time, so fans can love Lexi and love me, or fans can love me and love Marci (Miller), or they can love Ashley Benson (Mansi’s predecessor as Abigail) and me. There’s nowhere that’s truer than in the soap/daytime world because one doesn’t necessarily negate the other.”

Now the question becomes, just what is in store for nuKristina? Is it being part of the Molly/TJ baby drama? New romance ahead? Trouble in the building of her new LGBTQ center which leads her into danger, yet again? (Think ‘Dawn of  Day’ cult).

Stay tuned and let us know what you hope is Kristina’s new story via the comment section below.

General Hospital’s Haley Pullos Sued By Driver Over DUI Car Crash

More bad news for General Hospital’s Haley Pullos (Molly). The driver, in the car crash reportedly caused by Pullos, is suing the actress.

According to TMZ,  the man, who’s name is Courtney Wilder, is suing Haley for plowing into his car last month while driving under the influence of alcohol and marijuana.

In his lawsuit, Wilder says the car he was driving behind barely swerved to avoid Haley’s car as she drove the wrong way on a freeway offramp. However, he claims he didn’t have time to react when he saw headlights coming his way and crashed head-on into Pullos. Wilder says he was taken to a hospital and was in critical condition.

The collision happened back on April 29th when Pullos was driving on a freeway in Pasadena and then swerved into oncoming traffic, before hitting another vehicle, which the police reported was going roughly 60 mph.

Photo: PPD

The court documents filed by Wilder claims Haley should have stopped driving when she got into a hit-and-run earlier in the night and and that she should have never been behind a wheel while being under the influence.  He goes on to say, the crash has resulted in serious and lasting injuries to his body and his car being totaled, and that he is going after Pullos for the damages.

Three weeks ago, reports surfaced that Pullos entered the Malibu Detox and Residential Treatment Center.
