Soap star Julia Barr — who has played Brooke English on All My Children since 1976 — is choosing to depart the ABC sudser when her contract expires in December. It seems almost superfluous to report this, since the two-time Daytime Emmy winner is so underused that AMC’s viewers barely ever see her onscreen anyway. Barr couldn’t resist taking a parting shot at AMC in a statement to the press. "I am so proud to have been a part of a show that was once a television icon," she said. "I want the fans to know how much I truly appreciate all of their love, support, loyalty and enthusiasm over the years." A show that was once a television icon? Oh no she di’int. Oh yes, she did.

I have to admit she is right AMC is not the same soap it once was. Hopefully she will land another soap soon!
