Tamara Braun Says Farewell To GH: “Thank You To All You Wonderful People for Your Love and Support”
Today marks the day for the final appearance of General Hospital’s Tamara Braun in the role of Dr. Kim Nero, according to a post on her Instagram account from the actress herself.
Braun posted: “Want to see Kim Nero one last time? Tune in today to say goodbye. Thank you to all you wonderful people for your love and support. #GH #goodbye #love #support #fans #gratitude #smile #bekind”
Tamara’s latest GH alter-ego (she had previously played Carly Corinthos) of Kim Nero, found herself pining after Franco (Roger Howarth) who now has her beloved Drew Cain’s memories transplanted into his brain, thanks to the horrifying procedure done by the late Shiloh and Dr. Cabot. Kim has also been grieving for months the loss of her son, Oscar.
Watch to see how Kim exits Port Charles on the ABC daytime drama series.

I wish her well. She is a good actress. I often forgot she was Carly from back in the day. Kim lost her life and the character was not needed anymore. I wish they would flush out others who are useless. Oh, and speaking of, I hear FAKE Amy is coming back. WHY?
Good Gawd, please, oh please, no Faux Amy!
Oh, no…not “Ersatz Amy” again!!!!!
Maybe her and Alexis can do shots of rat poison at “Charlies!”
Nothing against Tamara, but I am glad to see the character of Kim leave. That whole story drove me crazy and Kim was so hard to root for even with the horrific loss of her son. That was the writer’s fault, not hers. Best wishes in your next venture, Ms. Braun.
Me too
While I like the actress very much, the character of Kim really was a mess. How long has she been talking about leaving town? Good grief, just go!
It was a nice run, but it is time to say goodby. Too bad we aren’t left with Oscar and Drew. As far as I’m concerned, we didn’t get much from this SL but angst and grief. Iam now waiting hopefully for Franco to open his eyes to Liz, with his promised words, “I’m back”.
The Drew story could have been a high drama suspenseful story..
But- the writers write soft, weak stories.
Think; what the greater writers from time past could have done with the Drew story..
Tamara is a good actor that was given a fluff script.
I totally agree with u. If Drew’s story were told on by late 80s Gh writers there would have been unimaginable intrique.
The writers were only interested in writing for Jason at Drew’s expense. They had a real opportunity to bring these two brothers to a new understanding and failed.
Glad to see this less than interesting story come to an end. ….the character should have been seeking therapy. Losing a child is the most traumatic experience any mother could possibly endure.—-the pain can engulf a grieving mother in misery—-almost bring her to the point of no return. Kim’s behavior was wantingly obsessive. Her every thought and action screamed HELP. Instead, the writers decided to turn her into a wailing, needy , delusional and mindless idiot—-I felt no pity —-none was educed. I couldn’t wait for her to shush and run along.
Great actress, for sure–but, wasted in this role.
Agreed, CeeCeeGirl! Good riddance to this loopy character and her sick, insulting storylines…as if the natural grief of losing a child gave license for the attempted rape of a person not in full control of his faculties or adulterous obsession with someone of a highly-questionable mind in the form of the Franco/Drew hybrid. Basta, basta and arrivederci, baby!
I likeher, granted I’m team Elisabeth in this storyline but I like tamara and this character. wish she was staying what’s wrong with gh getting rid of someone so talented? this is really frustrating.
It’s really too bad that they had to throw her under the bus in the name of Frodd/Drodd/ whatever you want to call this sick obsession with forcing the wreckage of OLTL (Frank & his buddy Ron’s own fault) into GH.
Tamara should have learned this lesson from her equally disastrous second run on Days… sometimes you really can’t go back.
Kim should had been obsessed with Jason since Drew once looked like him instead of this lame Franco got Drews memory story
Jim Davis, you make a lot of sense. Never thought of it that way, but Jason wouldn’t have contributed to her obsession with Drew/Franco, who felt he had a vested interest.
He wouldnt…but Kim could had stalked Sam…and make threats on her life…Jason and Co. would believe its all connected to Shiloh and a disgruntal member of his cult…Jason could be injured in an attack on Sam and hospitalized where Kim drugs him with some unknown drug that causes Jason to think he is Drew and attracted to Kim!
That would have been amazing, Jim!
How did they wrap-up her storyline with Franco/Drew? Or did they? Will there be a re-cast or did her character leave town alone or with Franco/Drew?
She was a good actors will miss her wish she would stay and she git help but best wish to her
Well I did like Kim in the beginning but the Character just got weird since her son Died her role wasnt there any more she was wasted she infact was very messed up so in a way I am very happy Kim is gone wish her luck but the role of Kim was done she was getting so boring I hated watching it any more but you know the writers on GH sink they didn’t play it out right made bad choices not just for her role as kim all the roles were and are getting boring so good luck Tamara
I wish her well, she was a great actress on Gh she will be missed!
She was my favorite Carly. Funny that she left the first time when Carly went nuts, appropriately Kim was gone nuts and Tamara is off again. Maybe next time she’ll come back as a shrink!
I got to meet Tamara earlier this spring at a gh event, and spoke to her, said I just saw her on The Rookie – wish it could have been a bit longer than a few minutes.
I hope we’ll get to keep watching her wherever she lands. I wish her well.
I thought it was — not sure the word– but just after Julian just deleted Kim Nero from his contacts, in walks another Kim – “Kimberly Andrews” (character on OLTL) and asks for a drink. Ms. Stetton is now the new Brook Lynn.
Charlie is off the path to a crazy place,,,,he married Nell.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob
This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”
Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.

Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.

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