One of General Hospital’s front burner and most popular stars, Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth Webber) is currently in contract negotiations with the ABC daytime drama series.

However, a report surfaced on Monday via Daytime Confidential’s Jamey Giddens that indicates talks between the actress and the soap have hit an impasse and have stalled.

But that’s not all, a Sony insider revealed to DC, that Days of our Lives is very interested in bringing Becky to the Salem canvas.

Herbst began her GH career in 1997 as the daughter of Jeff Webber (Richard Dean Anderson).  Over the past 12 months, Rebecca has been front and center delivering emotional performances as Elizabeth has her once believed-to-be-dead love of her life,  Jason (Billy Miller) back in the mix of her life, as well as her once believed-to-be-dead young son, Jake (James Nigbor).

So, are you hoping GH and Rebecca can reach terms so she stays put?  What would you think of DAYS getting the talents of Rebecca? Share your thoughts in the comment section below!

At Days she could be Nicole.s sis Taylor but just work it out at GH and stay there!

Or Stephanie Johnson… a little old maybe but I could see her doing well paired w/ Johnson & Evans.

I have gotten so fed up with Elizabeth and her machinations and manipulations… and NO consequences for this last stunt of hers (keeping Jason to herself) for a year… knowing full well he had a wife and son waiting for him, longing for him, to come home to them. She needs to be sent packing… and take her boys with her.

Interesting, I wonder who she will play on DAYS if she jumped ship! I like Becky and all, but would rather DAYS bring Kassie DePaiva back!

Nicole’s sister Taylor?

I feel like we have been there done that with Taylor. I don’t think she really has a place on the canvas right now. Like I said, I would rather Kassie DePaiva come back!

That’s another good candidate, Jimmy.

absolutely…. Kassie DePaiva , would be above and beyond , repair any and all damage to the shows liveliness

Kassie DePaiva generates bubbly; an exuberance; and love for this genre… twofold

her peers and HUGE fan following equate such herald

magnanimous woman

Amen too you Patrick, Kassie is a wonderful lady. Days made a huge mistake, in firing Kassie. She is a classy, sassy wonderful actress. I hope we see Kassie on another soap soon. Also I love your comments on this website, you always make my day better when I read your comments. I am a regular here too.

I’d rather see Kassie come back to Salem. She was not treated fairly by being fired. There was no rhyme or real reason for it… unless… and heaven forbid… that it was to make way for Herbst???? Lord, I hope not. That would be adding insult to injury!!

BRING KASSIE BACK!

Yeah Days was a fool for losing Kassie she’s a great actress please get Rebecca off of my soap GH I can’t and never did like her she is Whiny,Needy and Drama please keep her if you get her..ohhh but what would her boys do without a father they have 3 different Dads I was a single parent after I divorced my Sons Dad and we were fine..

I love General Hospital. It is my soap. I would love to see Rebecca stay put. However, I can see from her point of view why she might want to move along at this point. She’s an obvious fan favorite but the writers continue to serve her character poorly. She’s a capable actor. I like the recent scenes with her and Roger Howarth. Liz needs a real romance however and not a dysfunctional situation. Imagine if the writers had done what they should have and put her and Patrick together when Robin left. The drama upon Robin’s return would have been amazing. If Days offers her a juicy role she just might jump ship. Come on GH! Pay her what she’s worth and let her loose on a great, new romantic story line. Don’t lose another heavy hitter to a rival soap. Long live GH!

I have to agree…I think GH would be absolutely foolish to let Becky walk…she is such an amazing actress…they should realize that from the last time they let her go and the outcry of all her fans to bring her back. she plays her part well enough that the fans are hating the character of Liz which Becky brings to life. that shows how well she does what she is paid to do…perhaps with her being on the front burners as long as she has she is entitled to a raise..she puts her heart and soul into Liz..ABC AND GH DO NOT LET BECKY LEAVE, WHATEVER IT TAKES….

Recast the role and let her go.

I concur, I want Rebecca to stay on GH. However, she has been on GH longer than Kelly Monaco and Laura Wright yet the producers/writers haven’t given Rebecca her due. Good for Rebecca if she can get a better deal elsewhere and shame on GH if they let her go!

Should bring back Lucky for her.

You are SO right. I hate to tell all the naysayers out there but Elizabeth is from one of the core GH families and Rebecca has hit it out of the park with her acting. The FANS saved her when the idiots who run the show tried to fire her. If they can OVERPAY certain folks and give them just scenery to chew on (We ALL know who those folks are) then they can pay Rebecca. They just brought on several characters in the past year (and even brought folks back) who they didn’t have to pay her what she is worth. Days has NO place for her with all they just brought in….GH needs to keep her.

The news is out–Rebecca is leaving. GH has managed to lose a double winner–a legacy character who is still young. On top of that, RH is an amazingly gifted actress with an ethereal and unique beauty. I don’t feel Lizzy can be re cast.
And executive producer Nathan Varni private messaged a fan detailing the private contract negotiations. Divulging the aforementioned details is unheard of and is most unprofessional and now Nathan’s private message is all over Twitter.

Wow, Harry. Is it crystal clear that the Varni message is legitimate? I know Twitter messages can sometimes turn out to be faked. If it’s legit, I have to agree with you—how incredibly unprofessional. Sounds like an early attempt at damage control to me; if so, may it backfire royally.

Very sorry to hear that RH is leaving; her performances have always been a bright spot even when Liz has been behaving badly. I hope TPTB realize, at some level, that with the mob-tied characters multiplying, there are fewer and fewer characters worth caring about.

Let’s hope they can work things out. Although the way they write for our modern day Jessie Brewer, maybe she has had it too and on to greener pastures like someone else who is now on Y&R. I love the character and the actress and losing her would be a horrible loss for GH. I can think of a lot of characters I wouldn’t mind not seeing, but Elizabeth is not one of them!

Elizabeth Webber should be a constant front-burner character. And we should have more of her family present. Never liked how they wrote out of some the others. Miss Herbst is perfect in the role and deserves to be treated right. But this is show business!

I agree Rebecca is a great actress !!! I love her at GH and they are not treating their core characters like they should… If they lose her it would be a huge mistake!

I actually disagree about Elizabeth, the character. The actress, Rebecca Herbst, is excellent IMO & always does a great job. But, the character is so one-note, so joyless, that her storylines are derivative year after year after year. I wouldn’t be surprised if the “negotiation” snag may be that GH really wants to keep her & RH is just bored & wants to leave & do something else. RH & Alison Sweeney have a lot in common. They both came on to soaps when they were very young, played the same character for decades & built their careers in one place. But, while Sami Brady on DAYS had one hell of a life, Elizabeth has been a doormat (again IMO) for decades. Even great stories & acting challenges weren’t enough to keep Sweeney with DAYS when she wanted to grow as a professional & do other things.

The other female leads on GH over the years – Laura, Anna, Carly, Sam, Alexis, Brenda, Robin, Maxi, Lulu – have had adventures; been allowed to be funny, sarcastic, flippant and/or witty. Elizabeth is more long-suffering & sad & put upon than any female character I’ve seen on GH. I wouldn’t blame RH for leaving just for the challenge of doing something completely different.

Kansas Guest, I agree that the writing for Lizzy has been rather abysmal and joyless, but does it not speak volumes about how good the actress is that she has managed to rise above it?
Yes, it would be nice to see Lizzy happy–not dwelling on Jason anymore and moving on with her life.
Besides, we all know Lucky was the true love of her life, not Jason.

lol poor Receca is probably sleeping!
It would do her well to try something different, even if a change to Days..
No actor should spend their best days in a soap..
Every human needs to explore and grow..
being with any soap for near a lifetime is not cool.
Go Rebeca!! do something different, be alive again in starting a different life..

Weirdo..lol

Ha! Dave, you sound like my sons. You crack me up just like they do.
Listen, if they lose RH, our Miss Lizzy, they will lose a boat load of viewers.
And I will be the first one on that boat.
She’s a gem and an underrated one at that,

that would be easy to say… had the networks had a stronghold on all shows

the employment promise was that much more

she has a young family… don’t we all…. putting it in perspective…. I want this lady on my telee

she belongs in my orbit !

DAYS needs to be renewed for another 2 years….

Rebecca Herbst as an ingénue ; chanteuse ; vixen; hardened ; come hither;

you name it… is she ??? a repressed woman charged ?!?!

so much more than a sweet depend upon waits her turn and takes whatever the end result on Liz as the forever single mom ?

she most definitely is a superpower able to venture in to other relms of humane condition

the fallout would be just that much more Liz… that much more Rebecca Herbst for the audience to marvel

they just have to write for her….

I don’t even feel the least bit unsure of Liz
the least bit unsure of her capabilities be it Rebecca Herbst or character ; Liz
that Rebecca Herbst has a fork in all roads to lead herself triumphant as an actress
as I’ve posted… I’m just waiting for this….

that Liz layers herself with Franco… with the new doc in town… it’s not backward to Ric Lansing

I can easily say this things… for example

when she’s out of character… in Halloween scenes… with Jake… at the Nurses Ball

when they feature her OOC

OK

What an insult to actors that spent their lives bringing to life wonderful characters that anchored their show. Not sure what your definition of “cool” is, but I think Erika Slazek, Susan Lucci, and Jeanne Cooper are some of the coolest people I’ve ever seen.

Me too I loved these women wish they would have kept All my Children and One life to Live on but the shows got boring and lost ratings and were taken off as these writers are doing GH I hope not it is the only one I have been watching for 50+ years they have changed so many characters kill them off bring them back with different people that u have to get to know all over again but kept the bad ones as Rebecca I can’t stand her or Brenda glad she’s gone and Robin I’m glad she’s gone but until these writers bring some Love back to this show I’m fixing to leave it they are divorcing Dante and Lulu big mistake and still beating around the bush of bringing Jason and Sam back together as husband and wife and a father for Danny it is not the same..

How would moving from one soap to another be “trying something different?”
She’s already probably spent her “best days” on a soap, and will probably spend the rest of her “lifetime” on soaps.

She’s done nothing but soaps for 18 years, so maybe she’s not interested in anything else. Besides, she appears to be the primary wage earner in her household, so a steady job is a good thing.

Interesting timing of her statement posted the other day – her thanking her fans. Regardless of how people feel about her character, Becky is a good actress and her character has a lot of history with the show. People complain about all the new characters. This is an actress and character that ABC should keep on the show.

Amen AJ, ABC needs to be smart here. Losing her would leave a huge hole-They have NO female actor on the show in this age range that acts like she does.

Agreed!

Given Days’ penchant for bringing in big soap names and then abandoning them a year or so later (see: Melissa Archer, Kassie De Paiva, Daniel Cosgrove), I think RH would be wise to stick with GH. As much as I dislike the writing for Elizabeth, I am not sure RH would fare any better at Days. At least at GH, she’s a known quantity, and TPTB are quite aware that she has a following and a fairly vocal fan base. It’s no guarantee of continued employment, but it does shift the odds a bit in the right direction.

Well said! I also think she’d be crazy to move on.

Very good point. They drop people as soon as they arrive, plus DOOL always seems on the verge of cancellation.

Michael: great point; great post.

I love Days ,but you have a point they have a bad habit of bringing on actors from other soaps, and getting rid of them in less than a year. I think she would be better off sticking with GH.

Could Rebecca Herbst be the NEW Abigail?? Works for me.

She’s twenty years too old to be the new Abigail. Zoinkers.

That said, it IS amazing that viewers could actually envision such. If GH lets Becky go, that is a public statement that FV just isn’t interested in sustaining
any legacy around it at all. He just wants to make sure that other soaps’ stars get to come in and take over

She doesn’t look 20 years too old, though. She has impeccable skin from staying away from the sun and she still has her 20-something body.

God now, could you imagine her as the daughter of Melissa Reeves’ Jennifer? No way.

that would be another horror show unto itself

we Need Melissa Reeves salary… for Rebecca Herbst or Kassie DePaiva

No, I do not. It would be a travesty…Rebecca playing Melissa’s daughter?
I laugh each time I think of Kelly Monaco playing William DeVry’s daughter. (GH)….8 years apart.
Let’s keep it a little realistic here.

That would totally work…..and with Chad….sami&ej part II….would definitely build ratings.But please get rid of 5-6month taping schedule.

Yes I agree with you, make Rebecca the new Abigail.

I don’t think RH would fit as Abby for about a million different reasons.
I think she should be Mackenzie recast on Y&R. Mac is Katherine Chandler’s granddaughter. Mac was a lovely brunette whose first love was Billy Abbott.
She was a good person, albeit flawed–she would be about thirty-five or so right now.
I always thought Lizzy had great chemistry with Patrick. Would it not be interesting to see RH as Mac stirring things up with Billy now that Jason Thompson is playing him. I could see her going toe to toe with Victoria.

I’m thinking if they are smart they will cast her as Stephanie Johnson. I could see her doing well paired w/ Mary Beth Evans, Nichols, & that kid playing Joey. Much prefer that to another new “Serena” style character on Days. That said, I hate the recent writing for Liz but wish the character would stick around – with the right writing.

Isn’t Stephanie about the same age as Abigail?

Elizabeth, your probably right. I was thinking she was older. Technically, she should be closer to Sami’s age than Abigail but when they brought her back in 06 she was around Abby’s age. My bad. Then of course EJ shouldn’t have been much older than Will, lol.

This is a disappointing state of affairs for GH when contract negotiations with a 17 year vet and popular actress turns sour. It feels like GH has it’s priorities screwed up. How does something like this even happen?

you’re onto something. There should be no question that she should stay put!

This also happened with Jason Thompson. It is indefensible, short-sighted, insulting, and stupid. Becky is a gem. Just write for her! They may not realize it, but Liz is a mainstay at the hospital. When there are scenes at the hospital we instinctively expect to see her. Without BH, not ONE nurse character, or a nurse character on contract. And yet…and yet…character number 4 for Michael Easton.

Jenn, I see this as nothing more than a plant by her agent to get fans riled up and cement Rebecca with a new, fat contract on GH! ie, she aint goin nowhere!

I think you’re right, Timmm. Firstly, there’s just too much going on with the Liz/Jason/Sam/Jake storyline. It would be too ineffective to continue without her if they decapitate the story at this stage.
It wouldn’t be very judicious of TPTB to stop rowing mid-stream.
No one can play Miss Lizzie like Rebecca, anyway. Later.

They have the CASH to bring Easton back-She has been there for 18 years-PAY HER, give her a story and shut up. If FV NEEDS to have Jason with Sam let him-They can be the happy boring married couple on the back burner-Let Elizabeth have her own story so Rebecca can be the actress we all know she is.

Timmm, I agree.

She is not going anywhere and this will be resolved quickly. Liz’s redemption arch was just launched this week and Herbst is a leading lady again on GH. Herbst leaving back in the 2010-2014 years might have made sense cause she was demoted to supporting status but right now she’s topping the episode counts every month. Liz is one of those rare characters who moves the needle and GH isn’t going to let her get away but this media leak is nothing but a negotiation ploy to rile up her fans. It worked before and will work again.

I don’t see that at all. Sorry but Becky has never been known to be adifficult actress. Neither was Jason Thompson for that matter but for whatever reason GH is getting it done as far as negotiations with their popular young hospital vets go. If she were playing a Corinthos or her 4th character in fours years, I doubt there would even be a need for contract negotiations. This says so much about the twisted priorities of those in charge. GH should never have gotten to the point where they lost one of there two lone hospital contract characters and now to almost lose the other one? NOPE

Almost 20 yr vet.. Becky joined GH in 1997.. They need to keep her.

I think Jamey Gidden is onto something….. his twitter was

“lowball the GH vets = more $$$$ for stars from other soaps”….

The reality is, as many commented upon when ME’s return was announced, that TPTB don’t care about what GH ever was. They just want “a soap” on in the afternoon where they can throw former soap legends up against the wall like wet toilet paper and see what sticks. And as far as the cost of the wet toliet paper, well that’s on the backs of beloved GH vets whom people like FV couldn’t care less about.

No, i would be happy if she left.

Me too!

Oh, you Jasam fans just seem to have a disconnect when it comes to separating the character from the actress.
Really, you all sound like a bunch of nut cases.

🙂 Even yesterday during Sam & Jason’s one moment in the hospital, and there she is like a bad penny lurking in the background. Oh please leave!!!

One bad bump in story-telling for a character should not negate the years of joy this character has brought so many. I encourage you to watch scenes of Lucky and Elizabeth when they were young.

If this was management’s plan all along, it seems to have worked: totally destroy a major legacy character to the point that viewers hate her. Hate her so much that there will be little backlash when letting her go.

Despicable. And shameful. And yes, Harry 1, the Jasam fans and this and other boards are out of control. One board has a thread entitled “I Want Liz Killed,” with a lot subscribing to this. It is a notoriously anti-Liz, pro-Sam board. Unfortunately, the Sam and Jasam fans have made me dislike the character of Sam, and Jasam. But, unlike the Jasam fanatics, I do not want Kelly Monaco to lose her job.

These Jasam fans ARE nuts and have taken character propping to a whole other disturbed realm, repeatedly tweeting to GH that Becky should be fired.

You are assuming I have not seen those scenes with Lucky? I have and I do not care for her character.

I am guessing that you did not see her rape scenes. I can understand why you can dislike her character but Sam and Carly BOTH have done just as bad of things and that was ok..Heck even Laura in her heyday was NO saint. Carly and Laura BOTH have multiple children w multiple fathers..Alexis does too…

They are out of their effing mind if they don’t do EVERYTHING in their power to keep her.

Thanks Ree

effing, plus

can you imagine watching – just – Jason and Sam – ????

this story would dive faster than… and take GH ratings…. and spiral

and Sam’s mumbling would turn into a puff cloud and meander into the corner of a room like a wayward bubble until it just popped quietly.

@Harry 1
The above comment is possibly the funniest visual my brain could ever generate. It is just too humorous to describe…I am at a loss for words. You slay me Harry.

Harry, I have to comment on your comment. Hysterical and very intriguingly visual. Both Sam and Jason mumble to the point where we may need captions. But to be fair, in Kelly M’s case it is because of a severe hearing loss. She maintains that level so that she doesn’t go into shouting mode.

How does something like this get out so fast? Who does it benefit?

For me personally, Liz has become intolerable. I deleted Friday’s show from my DVR unwatched after reading a recap online because it was All About Liz. I’m sorry, I can’t the character. If this is true I just hope there is no recast. Bring back Lucky for a week to give her fans their HEA and let the rest of us get some peace from this nonsense.

I agree that if they writer her off, let her go off with Lucky.

Yes!

She IS intolerable. It IS all about Liz and her stupid boys all the time. Everywhere Jason is, she turns up. I will be very happy Liz & Becky leave. Can’t go fast enough for me; maybe then, they can actually re-develop Sam & Jason’s story again!

It is necessary for Miss Herbst to LOSE HER JOB, so your couple can be happy? You have taken “fandom” to a level that is just unbelievable. It isn’t her fault that GH has written this dreadful storyline. She did not write it.

Ask me if I care Tristan? I can like or dislike anyone I choose. I am also entitled to MY opinion! If you crazy obsessed Herbst fan do not like what I have to say then do not reply to my comment.

well a jasam redux is as boring as a liaison redux with a new actor. Personally, I am a fan of Liz and RH, the fact that you are so obsessed with Jasam as if that is the only story on GH historically says a great deal. You may not like the character, but perhaps as a fan of GH you could appreciate that she is very popular with many fans, and they are upset. You would feel the same way if Kelly Monaco left. I like both actresses, even if I am not a fan of Sam the character. And i would not want her to leave for her fans. But that is how I roll.

Jason and Sam = booooooring. And you sound like a complete fool, wishing a real human being ill.

I understand your feelings. I agree that Liz and Sam need to have stories that are AWAY from each other. My point is that they can SIGN Rebecca Budig to a deal and they cant give Rebecca Herbst that also..ABC and GH are insane. Let Sam have Jason…..Its too bad the show will relegate them to being a boring married couple…Marriage is the kiss of death in daytime but I am sure you know that…I like your insights…I see you like your fav couple but I am fighting for fairness for an actress who has been on the show for 18 years before MANY of these no talent newbies showed up.

Rebecca has no say in how her character is written. It seems to me that your beef is with the writers and their storylines. The writers will write for the Sam and Jason characters as suggested by the producers, and, again, this has nothing to do with RH. Her character “keeps showing up” because that’s how the writers are writing it. Whether RH leaves or not is completely irrelevant to the Jason and Sam characters, as most likely the writers would then throw other characters into the mix.

I am amazed that the last link to the Hardy legacy and the last contract nurse on a show about a hospital is fighting for her job! Becky is the consummate professional and one of the longest standing veterans on GH. They should stop at nothing to keep her especially after the JT fiasco! If Becky goes, I’m done and will follow her anywhere!

You framed the problem perfectly. Without Liz it’s another nail in the coffin of the hospital. And I suppose if she leaves we will never see Audrey again. Have never understood why the writers seem to hate writing for the Liz character. They always make her overly dependent on being with a man. It’s a broken record.

Wanted to gag at the Jason-saves-SAM, rushes-to-Sam’s-side scenes yesterday. I am BEYOND caring about this couple. I don’t even necessarily want Jason to go back to Liz. I just want the Sam Jason pairing to be OVER. Let them both find new romances.

Amen Shannon-The show is called General Hospital and ABC seems to have lost that idea…Elizabeth is part of THE core family of the show.

“… Liz and Sam need to have stories that are AWAY from each other ”

valid point ….. respectively, to each lady

Kelly Monaco : GH : 2003 – present

Rebecca Herbst : GH : 1997 – present

??? I had no idea “Sam” has been on GH as long as she has.

just had to point out.. that it’s proof positive… these two can be contract and not have any thing to do with each other…. AT ALL !

Sam….. You are married to Jason…. END OF STORY !

Liz… i’d like you to meet ; Franco; Ric ; Griffin

I love the post: does RH have to be fired for Jasam to be forever happy ?

Elizabeth Webber… IS General Hospital

it baffles me… that – ONE – character… kudos to her magnate self… Rebecca Herbst… proved… in all of year 2015… that she can mix and mingle and feast with the whole cast… what a treat

If they let Becky go then the idiots are running the asylum. She’s an 18 year vet, a legacy character and a proven asset in pairings. She sold LL2 (w/3 actors),Liason (w/2 actors),LiRic and Niz. Despite tptb regularly throwing Becky & Liz under the bus, Becky never failed to turn S#@T into gold.

They won’t negotiate with Becky but can give a rudderless Budig a FOUR year contract, cow tow to Mo Benard’s every whim, and still try and make countless newbies work (Valerie,Nina,Sabrina,KiKi). Idiots!

The show has only TWO contract actors on the hospital side: Patrick->now Griffin and Elizabeth. That is a HUGE problem. Stick a fork in what once was General Hospital. It’s now Mobster Land.

If Becky leaves I’ll follow her to whatever job she finds and finally turn off my once beloved GH. Fed Up!

Well said Scoma60!

Agree completely! Thank you.

Couldn’t have said it better myself!

I’ll still watch GH because it’s hard to turn your head away from a car accident as it’s happening. Otherwise agree with every point you made!

@scoma60

your paragraph 2 really nailed it

HAYDEN ! as played by Rebecca Buddig is “GIVEN” a 4 YEAR contract

almost site unseen … unheard of in these trying times

YET ! Rebecca Herbst is at a crossroads ????

the character of Liz is far more accessible with the chemistry with the whole CAST

————-

if year 2016 goes down as the Sonny and Carly – Jason and Sam ; GH SHOW

???? it would be easier to let RH’ Liz out…??? easier to forgot what isn’t their… and that much of an easier pill to swallow ??? that accepting Jason and Sam is going to be that much easier ????

Let’s drink the Kool-Aid

and they should have made Buddig a legacy character, it was a stupid decision to make yet another new character. They are short on old families but there are lots of younger members they could have brought back. they have barely anyone at the hospital as pointed out, but we have innumerable Corinthos. This writing team and their executive team, Varni and Valentini, seem to have no idea what they are doing. At least Carlivati had a vision, and it worked for a while. What is their vision of the show? But at the very least, losing Becky is a sign that they have no clue what fans want. Even those who are not big fans of the character Liz know she is a legacy character, they know her storied history. She is the real face of GH these days for real fans, not Sonny, and Not Alexis, as much as Varni tries to make it the Corinthos hour.

Exactly. Nothing would have been more compelling than bringing Rebecca Budig in as Sarah Weber. She still could have been paired with Nikolas as they explored rekindling their high school romance. And she could have been a doctor, in need of money and still roped into the Cassadine ELQ thing, or not.

But Rebecca Budig would have made a fabulous Sarah Weber.

If Becky leaves then I’m leaving too. I watched this shows for Scrubs and Liz, with Robin and Patrick already gone, I was hanging on by a thread anyway. If Liz is no longer on the show, my last tie to the show is cut too. 20 years of watching the show over, which is kind of sad.

I hope GH and Rebecca Herbst reach an agreement. Elizabeth Webber is my favorite character and the only reason I still watch GH. If ABC is foolish enough to let this often overlooked actress go, I would be thrilled to watch her on whatever show is fortunate enough to sign her.

Jason was not the love of her life, Lucky was. As a 40 yr fan of Gh , I would be fine if she left.

Thank you on the Lucky part!! I feel like they tried to MAKE Jason the love of her live because Lucky was off screen & unavailable.

The writers can have Liz find someone new – it’s rather drastic to just write the character off the show!

Want her to stay on GH and finally be paired with TC. Nik and Liz are everything.
Days is too busy casting every out of work soap actor there is.

omg this can’t be happening why o why? please it would be a big blow to loose Rebecca, please GH don’t disappoint us becky fans..

She would be a great addition to DAYS as Sarah Horton!

As long as she isn’t the new Abigail I’m ok with her going to Days.

Patrick, Rebecca is pushing 40. Abigail is supposed to be in her middle 20’s. I hope TPTB don’t jump the age again. She would look ridiculous next to Chad. I am not being ageist, just realistic…LOL. Later.

Suzanne Rogers’ Maggie is so deserving of immediate family

I am so sorry, my sweet, sweet, poetic Patrick. My above post was meant for Cathy. Later.

Sarah would be good or perhaps Stephanie. I know I’m in a minority here, but I have been hoping that Days would bring Sarah or Stephanie back with a lesbian story line, and I don’t see Becky in that role. However, that’s probably not part of Days plan for the foreseeable future and if given proper writing, she’ll do great in either role.

Yes, bring on the lesbians!!

Hi, 4ever,
I’ll appreciate Rebecca wherever she goes. But, I have gotten so used to seeing her on GH, as Liz, it will be so disappointing and discouraging not to see her at her ‘post’, pun intended, as Nurse Weber and Miss Lizzie.
Needless to say, she needs to go where the bread and butter is. Later, my friend.

Webber

Now, THAT, 4ever, makes more sense. Sarah Horton, it is. I think Rebecca is too old to play both Stephanie and Abigail; realistically, that is. But, it’s a soap. TPTB have no regard to age.
However, let’s just hope Rebecca stays put…..all speculation!

Sarah Brown could return with a daughter >>>> ta-da ! Lauren Boles is her beloved daughter…. LOL

Maggie and Mickey (step-father) raised Sarah… her real biological father, is Neil Curtis

argh! Sarah Brown = Sarah Horton

I did not know that, Patrick.

Hi Ceec:

ie: Sarah Horton… I did not know that, either
read it on Wiki….. argh! it’s as good enough a resource for mwah

anyway… Rebecca Herbst, being courted by Sony and Days

I read a thread; on Yahoo.com

that are in fact courting her… and will write for her… a new character !!!!!

??? which doesn’t fit well with me at all . argh! look what happened to Melissa Archer, Sarah Brown, and well we all know that act

i’m with all the posts… that to solidify a character, that much faster…
an the off chance, GH really does spite themselves

RH should be either, Carrie Brady or Sarah Horton

hummmm ??? Neil Curtis… as played by Joseph Gallison… Gloria Loring’ ex_Liz….

who knew Maggie had a tryst with that dastardly a whole lot off… Neil

I would be perfectly happy for Liz to leave PC. I have never liked her and the past year has made me like her even less. Have nothing against Becky at all.

Then your problem is with the writers, not the actress. Why should the actress leave when the problem is the writing? I don’t understand why people keep saying that, then stating they have nothing against the actress, because clearly there is some kind of disconnect going on if they think that the way to write a storyline to their satisfaction is to fire the actress!

Hope it all works out. Days would waste the talent like so many others.

Herbst needs to stay as her storylines have improved within the last year. I like seeing the conflict between her, Jason and Sam.

I think it would be for the best! Fresh start, broaden her horizons. I think the character of Liz has reached a standstill. It’s always the same thing no matter who writes her. Limited character. Also too many other characters have been written ooc just to give her character some validity. I don’t mean to sound so harsh but it’s true. That means it’s time for a change! Another soap would give her a clean slate and allow her to grow. Too much has happened for this GH character to be redeemed. Before people start flipping out maybe this is what she wants and needs! GH will certainly survive

And yet Sonny and Julian – two murderers — have been redeemed. As has Nina, who stole a woman’s baby in a sickening fashion. As has that woman. As has the serial killer Franco. But Liz is…worse??????

” too many other characters have been written ooc just to give her character some validity.”

It’s the other way around. Liz has been written terribly out of character to be a foil for JaSam. It’s been clear that Varni and Valentini have pushed these fan wars to the brink. Instead of writing character-driven stories it’s this lame Betty/Archie/Veronica mess. Liz has been thrown under the bus and her history with Jason was rewritten for the worse, while Sam’s history was rewritten for the better. I’m not a shipper of either couple so I’m coming from an objective place. I actually feel both women have carried Billy Miller/Jason for over a year at this point. It’s really sad. If I was Becky I would leave too. Liz is the last remaining member of the show’s founding family and they just don’t care. I really don’t know what has to happen for ABC to step in and actually care about what’s going on on that show.

I think it’s time for her to move on from GH. Her character has done some really rotten things that many of us find in redeemable.

Yet the stars of the show are mobsters who kill people?? Please!

She’s more irredeemable than those that murdered others? Or let babies be kidnapped? SMH

Jennifer, “many of” you are just…I don’t know. This hate is just unbelievable. So…you’d like Becky, a mother of three, to lose her job because of poor widdle Sam and Jason? I didn’t realize Becky actually also wrote the stories. Shameful and nutty!

Truly! Compared to about half of the residents of Port Charles who are either mobsters, mobster molls, mobster wanna-bes, or mobster apologists, Liz is an absolute saint even on her most unjustifiable days.

You go, Lucy D!!!!!! I echo that!

Sonny murdered AJ, yet tells anyone who will listen that Ava’s a cold blooded killer. His hypocrisy is unreal. Do we really want to go there with people who are irredeemable? He would be at the top of that list, yet he’s GH’s “patriarch” now. Dr. Hardy is probably rolling in his grave.

I sure hope negotiations can continue as I would love to see RH remain on GH with the current storyline. I’ve never been able to stick with Days.

Becky needs a fresh start. Liz is set on repeat, same stories, no character growth, always the interloper in an already solid couple. Maybe if she goes to DAYS, she’ll get a great story where she can use her acting skills. Imo Liz is a unless character now. Wish Becky lots of luck, on her next journey

I think RH does a great job, considering how her character has been written. It’s not necessary to get rid of an actress because the writing isn’t to your liking! That seems unreasonable.

I think its her time to move on. Her & lucky were the power couple for her but they ruined that. Her character has no one to be a part of. Steve & kelly fought hard to make jasam a powercouple, thats why so much love for the pair. Kelly makes it easy with billy or steve to make jasam great! I guess it might be time for becky to move on & find a new leading man to make her own powercouple.

*snort* jasam is not a powercouple. It takes decades and actual acting to get to that level. The mumblers will never ever be there.

KBall, these JASAM fans seem to have a screw loose.
They seem blithely unaware that Kelly Monaco and Rebecca Herbst actually like each other.

Thanks for saying that. There’s not even a relationship there–but people call them a power couple. The power seems like its permanently turned off.

I think what we re seeing here is a concerted campaign on most of the soap sites by Sam and Jasam fans to overwhelm positive support of Becky.
And yes, the fact the Kelly Monaco and Becky Herbst are friends who totally support each other, is utterly lost on the fanatics fueling the Liz bashing.

Yes, Lucy D., “the power seems like it is permanently turned off,” which is why Liz is continually inserted into the mix. SHE creates the drama, not the other two.

Harry, this is definitely a concerted campaign by the organized Sam/Jasam fans. They are posting their “anti-Liz campaign” Twitter tags below. Despicable. And kind of sick.

If Becky Herbst was smart she would leave GH. Time for her to move along to better things instead of the same old recycled stories GH keeps giving her.

I want her to stay! Elizabeth played by no one else but Rebecca Herbst is why I still give GH a chance. It’s been up and down, good and awful, but Becky is consistently wonderful ! #KeepBecky !

#KeepBecky !

I love Becky and she is as important to Elizabeth (as her original portrayer) as Liz is to the history and legacy of GH’s origins.

Becky is probably one of the least Diva like stars on GH as she is always humbled, appreciative and a team player so while GH pulled out all these strings (including purse strings) for stars and characters that are of no consequence to GH like Stafford, West, Howarth amongst a parade of new characters who are just random, unfamiliar faces and not the reasons I watch GH they have denied Becky what she has earned.

If Becky leaves, I suspect many will follow…she has a legion of fans and has been one of GH’s most Popular ladies for over a decade now. There is no way they can lose Herbst and not have it leave a very negative impact on the show. I support Becky in all her endeavors and I am sure she knows what is best for her and her family.
I cannot say I would be surprised if she walks away from negotiations…she has loved playing Elizabeth and they have really run the character into the ground and fans have bitched online for quite some time.

My thoughts on Days are none since I do not watch that show and have no intentions on doing so. I would rather see Becky on B&B, she loves fashion in real life and has made her own dresses so I think that show would suit her well.

I could also see Becky as a Chloe recast on The Young and The Restless, playing the feisty fashionista last played by Liz Hendrickson. It would be a real treat to see her and Jason Thompson play rather deliciously devilish exes Chloe and Billy and perhaps there would be a romance for Dylan and Chloe in the works with Steve Burton over there now.
Whatever the future holds for Becky on GH or not, She is a fan favorite and she always will be…no GH exit cannot ever undo what she’s meant to fans and to the show.

Wow! Perfectly written post, Elle.
I had never thought about it, but Rebecca could play Chloe famously. Same body-type; expressive, beautiful face…yes, I like it!
I know you’ve been watching for a lot longer than I, so I trust what you say.
I am starting to like Liz again….but, I hope she walks a straight line and does not regress.
Later. I truly looooved your post.

She would be great on Days if they gave her the right character and didn’t waste her talent like they did Sarah Joy Brown and a few others.

agreed! SJB would have been a great Sarah Horton or even a cousin to the DiMera or Kiriakis family.

Agree

Honestly, I am shocked by this news. Rebecca Herbst has been utterly stunning this past year, portraying Elizabeth’s highs and lows to perfection, with emotionally deep material. She’s a phenomenal actress and I will be very frustrated if General Hospital lets her go. Her story right now is huge as Elizabeth deals with Jake’s emotional and physical injuries. I can’t imagine the show without Rebecca Herbst at all. She’s one of the best actresses in daytime and deserves every accolade I see her get in magazine letters and articles. She has chemistry with absolutely everyone and all of her pairings are gold. If she is let go–and I certainly hope not–I will definitely watch her on another show whether I already watch that show or not. She’s brilliant. General Hospital and ABC should not let her go.

beautifully said, Jenn

utterly stunning both physically and a stunning reverberating performance

show after show she yields net

what’s not to watch

Jen–preach!! Couldn’t have said it better!

Amen Jen, FANS need to do what we did before when they tried to fire her….

i hope she stays on gh – she is the only connection to steve hardy on the canvas – besides dool is in a major negotiation to stay on the air right now – they have told the writer to stop writing until a new deal with nbc has been reached……………………

Stay where , you are general hospital, is the best soap on TV now. Days of Our Lives the worst. along with the B& B and the Young and the Restless. I ‘m only watching General Hospital. so are friends of mine.
please stay where you are you have been there for a long time. please
stay we love you Liz. GH is where you belong!!!!

Please everyone don’t believe daytime confidential, cdl, soapspy (to name a few), sorry Michael, but those sources are a bunch of $HITRAGS

Celebrity Dirty Laundry know, there stuff better than Daytime confidential.

I think either the actress of TPTB at GH would have denied the rumors by now if they weren’t true.

Daytime Confidential has proven time and time again that their sources are legit. Don’t lie to the people. They have a history of being right when it comes to this type of stuff. If you don’t like the site that’s fine, but they have receipts. And I definitely believe them over some others.

RemyLC is right. Daytime Confidential and Jamey Giddens are totally legitimate. Jamey has great sources and he uses them honorably.

I want her to stay she plays Elizabeth Weber good don’t watch DOOL.

I would be ok with Elizabeth being killed off and going on the other soap. Seems like a neat way to tie things up.

I want Rebecca to stay. Elizabeth is my favorite character on GH. She one of the few reasons I still watch & without her, I don’t think I will continue.

I think she Rebecca would do great work on Days!!!! Let her spread her wings!

Oh Rebecca, spread your wings! You are not appreciated at ABC/GH. You have more talent in your little pinky than most have in their entire body.

So they can bring back Michael Easton for his 1,485th role but can’t find a way to keep Becky? She’s the last remaining member of GH’s original core family. I guess the Hardy lineage doesn’t matter when they have their new core, the Corinthos clan. Ugh.

And they wonder why ratings are atrocious.

Becky’s Liz is the heart and soul of GH. She spins gold out of terrible OOC stories . Frank V should stop hiring stars from other shows and pony up the money to keep one of GH’s real stars.

GH needs to settle business with Rebecca, because Liz would have to be recasted, and that would be a challenging role to recast after Rebecca having occupied the role with GH for such a long run. However, DAYS may be a much needed departure for Rebecca; it all depends on what Rebecca wants and desires. I will support her discussion either way. For GH, it would be a huge loss, however, Rebecca never seems to get decent story and where’s her Emmy love??? Maybe, a new role with DAYS will be best for this extremely talented thespian. I love Liz and I love Rebecca. Let’s see IF DAYS does get the renewal this month.

Look the girl is not Meryl Streep. .she heard the Days rumor and or had already been approached. .Days is on the bubble. .GH is being penned by infamous show killers. .I hardly see this as a hold your breath situation on this 4 show only canvas. ..she’d do well to stay put. .a big name could replace her and we’d be saying RH who. ..the days of irreplaceable are long gone in daytime

you speak the absolute truth @dav

the business of being in daytime is so limited… employment wise

actors just can’t upend themselves and land in far more equitable positions, as it were… inasmuch as they deserve to be big time

she’s one of the gems nevertheless in this genre that deserve respect and lauded for what she brings to the table canvas and cast

The rumor I heard today, was that NBC wanted to cancel Days 2 years ago and replace it with a talk show. Update tonight I heard on the radio that Days might get picked up for 1 or 2 years. Hoping for the best.

GH needs to keep this very talented address. Rebecca brings so much emotion to the show and her fans.
STAY REBECCA STAY! PLEASE!

#KeepRebecca !

GH made this mistake once before when JFP was at the helm, it did bode well with fans then and it won’t bode well now. Personally, I’m tired of the soap hopping between the writers, executive producers, and the actors. Enough is enough!

I would really hate to see her leave her role as Elizabeth.. That would be really bad for GH.. However Inwatch Days too.. And as long as they give her a good role she would be a great addition over there too.. Just have to be careful because the other rumor floating around is that the writers were told to stop writing scripts because Days has yet to be renewed ..

Yes I heard that to, lets pray that Days gets renewed.

“…lets pray that Days gets renewed ”

I am praying for this show to be renewed, minimally… for 2 years, plus

that all these people associated with; affiliated with; who help produce this show

CELEBRATE WITH US : THE FANS

I’m a huge fan so I will follow her wherever she goes, but I’d rather she not go to DOOL. There is not one actor I’m interested in seeing her paired with in that soap. I’m down for a SB and RB reunion on Y&R, but don’t see that happening. Whoever gets her will be lucky.

True BH is on the frontt burner, but she is definitely not popular!I wish her luck!

Not popular? There couldn’t be a less true statement. I think it should be fairly obvious to anyone, and everyone, at this point that Rebecca Herbst and Liz have some if the most passionate and large fan bases on a soap period. She is one of the longest running characters on GH and has a massive fan base. Don’t underestimate that. It’s happened before and it ended with ABC looking idiotic and having to rehire her.

@kball

“thank you” for all you’ve said

just have to gavel

Rebecca Herbst and Liz have some if the most passionate and large fan bases on a soap period.

dang!

Kball, there is no reasoning with the irrational JASAM fans.
I think their mother ship is sending them messages again.

She is easily the most popular actress on GH with fans.

Not popular? GH endured a huge backlash a few years ago when Bob Guza wanted to kill off Elizabeth. I suspect if she goes, many many viewers will follow.

Harry, not only irrational but organized. I am unfamiliar with most of these posters. At most, stories about Becky on this site generate one or two negatives. This avalanche is clearly a concerted effort by the Jasam fans, who are flooding the soap boards with their vitriol.

Factual correction (that doesn’t affect the gist of people’s points being made here): The edict to kill off Liz (actually, I thought they were going to have her have a nervous breakdown and get carted off permanently to the psych ward and not killed off, but I might misremember that) came from Brian Frons (who did not like the character or the actress, apparently), not from JFP (as somebody above said) and not from Guza—both of whom were guilty of some very bad decisions while they were at GH, but the Becky/Liz situation was not one of them.

your clueless, every popular actor has their haters, but believe when i say she’s more popular then not, so you clearly are clueless and not familiar with the fan base or else you would know she’s one of the top stars, just look at soap in depth where she’s constantly on the top of the a stress list.

She is not I agree! I mean seriously? lol she’s talented but she’s no Tony Geary and not the best on the show. Also the fact this is happening a second time speaks volumes. Shes been hanging on by her teeth for a LONG time it’s time for someone over at GH to grow a pair and let her go! This character of Liz is spent. Let her try something new and believe me she will be fine. The last time when it announced she was let go prematurely it was her husbands doing! I’m assuming the same is happening now. Also for her or her “team” to put this out there during sweeps is just so wrong! I’d fire her just for that! Gh is depending on sweeps. She must not really want to be there or respect her job. I hope this publicity stunt backfires

Another Jasamer, I presume. I will give you all credit for being incredibly well organized in your hate campaign.

Yeah. I personally believe these kind of stunts, along with her, let us say, dedicated (ahem) fan base, make it more and more unlikely another soap would pick her up. I’ll tell you I would drop dead of shock if she landed at Y & R. Not happening. They don’t need any part of that drama. MAYBE Days…

Days has in the past woefully misused big names in soaps so I don’t know if she would be better off there. But right now it sounds more like a gossip item planted out there to make ABC think they might lose her if they don’t snap her up now and give her whatever the issue is that is stalling talks with her. Personally I hope she stays with GH.

GH and Becky Herbst need to come to an agreement on her contract. Her character is enmeshed into several families. The Liz character’s children are also tied to a couple of families as well. Jake is in a front burner storyline, for starters. The other children can be in their own storylines as well.

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Courtesy/ABC

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Learns Britt Died and Tells Anna He Has Been Working For Cates Since November 2021

On the Tuesday, March 26th of General Hospital, Anna (Finola Hughes) and the viewers learn about where Jason (Steve Burton) has been for over two and half years. However, Jason gets some news of his own.

Anna is visiting Jason at the PCPD interrogation room. She asks him if he shot Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), which he flatly denies. Anna believes him, but she tells Jason it doesn’t matter, because video footage shows him on the roof at the time of the shooting

When talk turns to Jason not willing to speak without his lawyer present, Anna can’t grasp why Jason would instead spend an hour alone talking with John Cates (Adam J. Harrington).

Photo: ABC

It is then that Anna brings up that John went by “Jagger” and that the two of them knew each other in high school. Jason doesn’t recall much of his time in high school following his brain injury, but then he gets furious realizing John knew about “Jason’s” past. That is when Jason slams the table and tells Anna, “I’ve been working for John Cates since November 2021.”

Next, Jason explains further that he has been working as an informant for the FBI. Anna wants to know how this came about and he tells her that after the tunnel collapsed, and he couldn’t make it to Britt (Kelly Thiebaud)… all of a sudden he sees Anna’s face drop.  Anna is the first person to tell him that Britt died and was murdered. She tells Jason the killer is in custody, but he continues to be shocked, overwhelmed with tears welling up in his eyes. Realizing he has to pivot to save his life, Jason continues telling Anna how he wound up working with John.

Jason explains that after the tunnel collapse in Greece, FBI agents grabbed him and placed him under arrest and took him to Quantico where he met John. At Quantico, John played a recording of RICO violations and offered Jason a deal if he agreed to be an informant against Pikeman, the illegal arms dealer.

Anna hears from Jason that he thinks Pikeman is selling illegal arms to anyone flagged by the NSA but has ties to the WSB which they needed a civilian to infiltrate their organization as a military soldier, a mercenary.

Jason tells Anna he was a part of the team brought into eliminate Sonny (Maurice Benard). Every time an attempt was made on Sonny’s life over the last two years, a different team was sent to do the job. Anna gets furious when she learns that John told Jason his job was to kill Sonny and she was with John at the warehouse that night. Jason ensured the sniper missed Sonny and left the rifle behind. However, they were supposed to meet an extraction team. Before he was shot, Dante saw it was Jason on the roof and when he turned around with his hands over his head, Dante was shot by the other guy. Jason says if Dante dies, he’ll be charged with capital murder and then will be useless to the FBI.

Photo: ABC

Meanwhile, John visits Bobbie’s and runs into Carly (Laura Wright). She learns Jason is in custody and is going to head to the PCPD. Before she does, Carly has some words with Cates when she learns not only does John have a vendetta against Sonny, but Jason too.  Carly tells John he should recuse himself from the case.

So, what did you think about the moment when Jason learned Britt died? What do you think of Jason’s return storyline thus far and what we learned about Jagger/Jason and more? Comment below. But first, check out a moment from today’s GH with Jason and Anna.
