What a week, eh? And it's only THURSDAY!! LOL... it's been a long one already. If you look down there, you'll see Annie is leaving the role as Maya for great, greener pastures. What will this do to the new Q storyline? Recast? Hmmmm. She's playing "Kate" --I think Rebecca Herbst would be GREAT as "Kelly"!! All we have to do is write to Flowers Films/Drew Barrymore!!
TODAY'S GH: Robin said "How can they justify MORE cutbachttp://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8864344470910760864&postID=6710574777821958181ks"?! Ha..telling dialog.
Tyler Christopher has to be totally thinking and praying that his pilot gets picked up. Heh..and when he and Brooke kissed? I so wanted Helena to come screaming like a banshee out of the walls.
ANYONE else see that look Claire had when Sonny said "I can't give you anything in return"??!! Think she's PG!? Why is she still around??! I wonder? And now Theo is going to have her work on the trial.
LOVED The whole Robin/Brenda scene!! Just like yesterday but #FF! Liked the wedding planner stuff too. "You need to pick another friend with better skin coloring to be in the wedding" !! She doesn't like Robin's "coloring"!!
Join the "Save Rebecca Herbst Facebook Page" is up and running!! Take a gander, lend your support. They have some ideas going on about how everyone can help.
Becky tweeted last night:
:this is Becky using Michael's account read Regan Cellura's article ... Thank U for loving Elizabeth as much as I do #GHKelly Monaco:
So sad and devastated by the loss of Becky, an amazingly talented woman, from the GH cast. It makes me worry about the future of Daytime.
Tonight's Stardish Radio will be dedicated to Becky Herbst/Liz Webber.
Guza was never invested in Maya anyway. Where's Zoe Maya's sister or yeah she's on her way! The stripper is better for Michael, than the young black girl. After all when was the last time GH had a black lead? Well never! Especially under Guza. Mayan scenes are always cut but we never get tired of Snarly Carly, Brenda the teenager, Jason the killer or mobloser Sonny. I hope it works out for Annie a beautiful, classy, woman I adore your character and I love Mayan! Goodluck Becky also what a beauty which is rare with who they have frontburner now!
ReplyDeleteHey now, we dont know Annie is leaving yet! May not be for a while!
ReplyDeleteAnnie is even trending on Yahoo now! How exciting!
Read what Tyler Christopher wrote about Becky via Soapcentral:
ReplyDelete"In my many years on General Hospital dozens of actors [have] come and gone in one fashion or another," Tyler Christopher (Nikolas Cassadine) said in a statement on his Facebook page. "I have never been as shocked as I am now over Becky being let go. Elizabeth Webber has been an intricate part of Nikolas Cassadine since nearly the inception of the Characters. I will miss that... and my friend."
Karen, have you read anything on JJ making a statement? Interesting & surprising if he doesn't make one. I read somewhere that he was very happy lucky wasn't going back to Liz. Sad for us L&L2 fans.
As for Maya, I honestly can care less unless it frees Ethan to be with Kristina. She did absolutely nothing for me and in fact was dull. Like someone else said, maybe with more takes she will do better in primetime. I myself think KEMO would have made a better angel!

ReplyDeletei don't know how true it is, but i read on the Save Rebecca Herbst facebook page that three of the actresses were happy and laughing about the firing. It seems that most people over there think that the three are Kirsten Storms, Julie Marie Berman, and Kelly Monaco. I hope that isn't true because if it is it is just disgusting.

ReplyDeleteThey if this is true the actresses need to get real GH barely makes it into the two ratings wise. Soaps are on their way out Becky is beautiful and talented she can along with Annie alot better than GH, Nathan, Brandon, Anthony, Jane and John Ingle can also they barely can get the Emmys televised. The soaps are dying laugh at that!
ReplyDeleteJulie, Kelly and Kristen, Kelly look at her disgusting Playboy spread no words necessary, Julie how many plastic surgeries has she had and Kristen , "Mickey Mouse'' called and wants his voice back!
ReplyDeleteI WILL DELETE ALL COMMENTS that mention Kelly Monaco. PERIOD.
ReplyDeleteAnd any other actor if they get blamed, bashed or in any way disrespected by this. THIS IS NOT about them...and this is not the place to do it. Go find some message boards somewhere to fight on.
ReplyDeleteI have watched General Hospital for over 2 decades, and I am done. I simply can't believe they fired Becky. I have always admired Becky and love the character of Liz. I know it is crazy, but I feel like I was 'fired' from GH. I have always related to the character of Liz and now I feel like the powers to be have shut the door on me. I know, crazy! I just can't believe it.
ReplyDeleteI think it is heartwarming to see the actors coming out in support of Becky. I sure hope something can be done and that they realize their mistake. It is going to be one more thing they can't take back, like killing Emily - wasn't that for some great love story we were all supposed to LOVE!?! or killing Georgie - just so wrong.
I am not a fan of Sam and Jason as a couple, but I love both characters and actors. Please lets not sit there and try to figure out which actors/actresses were laughing about Becky's firing. Come on - who, regardless of your personal feelings towards a coworker, laughs or are pleased when someone gets fired. I doubt there is truth in that rumor.
Let's keep it positive in trying to keep Becky on GH not cut down others.
Didn't todays show seem flat? I thought I would expect more emotion at least from Lulu and Dante, but all Dante did was run to Brenda about he messed up....
ReplyDeleteI thought that Sonny and Molly were cute, but I would rather her go to her dad when she has issues.
I ff through the Brook/Liz debacle. I knew exactly what was going to happen and with Becky leaving, I don't want to see the writers messing up her character for me anymore. Hopefully, she will get a good storyline to leave on,so I can actually watch it.
I am also not a Sam fan, but that doesn't mean I would say anything about Kelly Mo. For one, I don't know her, and I am sure most everyone on here doesn't either. The Jason/Sam fans are being respectful about Becky leaving, so can the rest of us please take the high road?

Seems everyone is making comments about becky's departure with the exception of JJ. Maybe he wasn't on board to re coupling?
ReplyDeleteAs for others laughing about Becky losing her job, we have to be honest. At every work place there is pettiness, bitchy co workers, jealousy, etc. chances are there are attention whores on GH but I doubt they would be dumb enough to make comments around people in todays day and age. Maybe the crew or something. Also, just because people are enemies on the show, doesn't mean they are in real life. Laura Wright tweeted something short and sweet to becky. Same with kemo. I love what Tyler facebooked about her.
I turned off GH after 30+ years last summer when Michael was "raped" in prison. I have tried to get back into it, but it is boring.
ReplyDeleteI will NEVER turn it on again - I just deleted it from my DVR. It is sickening that they have all these new characters that mean nothing to fans yet they don't have a story for Liz. I love Becky and I assume she will pick up work elsewhere very quickly.
Sad to see Langston go too - I liked that character. Why doesn't Frons just go ahead and cancel the shows instead of dismantling them character by character.
So sad...I hope Vanessa Marcil runs away as fast as she can!
Honestly, I wouldn't want Becky to stay on after this. I find it amazing that the fans are willing to do anything to keep her there, but after the character assassination that has happened, all the writers would end up doing is keeping her on the backburner or in the closet at GH. I hope all this internet buzz is getting to the right people at CBS or NBC. One of the other higher-rated soaps can pick her up or even a primetime gig.
ReplyDeleteHow awesome would it be to see Becky on Grey's or Desperate Housewives? She can do a lot more than the GH writers ever gave her credit for in the last 3-5 years.
I'll check in to see how she exits, but I haven't watched the show since Liz and Jason's last scene in the courthouse. I only youtube every now and then. The buzz and then fizzle with Brenda's return made it easy to keep the show off.
Best wishes to Becky and her family. I hope to see her back on my TV and away from GH soon.
People, please remember, this is the internet - truth is at a premium. I doubt anyone is laughing about Becky losing her job, it's just too close to home.
ReplyDeleteGH said Maya will NOT be recast while Annie shoots the pilot! Yay!

GH's Annie is an Angel
GENERAL HOSPITAL's Annie Ilonzeh (Maya) has been cast as the first of the three female leads in the new ABC pilot CHARLIE'S ANGELS, a reboot of the 1976-'81 series that spawned two big budget films in 2000 and 2003. According to TVLine.com, Ilonzeh will play Kate, "a very smart and very athletic ex-cop and a master of martial arts. She is the most serious of the three Angels, but also knows how to let her hair down and have a great time." According to a GH rep, there are no plans to recast the role while Ilonzeh shoots the pilot. The news made the GH actress the No. 4 most-searched name on Yahoo.com on the day of the announcement.
First, JJ did tweet on Becky leaving the show. I am about to run into a meeting but this evening (if nobody has posted it yet) I will post his comments.
ReplyDeleteAlso, please remember that everything you hear online is not true. The general consensus of the actors at GH is that a fan who dislikes Becky/Liz started all of the rumors about the laughter on set to get everyone riled up. Things are tense and someone decided to rile up her fans and see if they could get them to stoop down to their level and name call. I hope that you will step back and consider the classy lady you love. Becky would not want her fans to go after other GH actresses. It is my understanding that EVERYONE on set was SHOCKED and CONCERNED for the future of GH (and all daytime). Call and write - but only tell them the amazing loss you feel as a fan because of how incredible Becky was as an actress and how integral Liz Webber was to the canvas.
