General Hospital announced that they were letting Rebecca Herbst aka Elizabeth Webber go after being on the show for 14 years. They released a statement to
Soaps In Depth, “Storyline dictates the exit of Elizabeth Webber this spring. The next few months promise to be ‘not-to-miss” story for the character. We at ABC and GH wish Rebecca Herbst nothing but the best in her future endeavors.” I call bullsh!t on this one because there are so many people on the show that I think should’ve gotten the ax before her…
But I am not too worried for her because just like two of the shocking firings Greg Vaughn and Rick Hearst, I am sure she will land on another show very soon.
UPDATE: Her current and former co-stars are reacting to the news on Twitter.
Steve Burton Tweeted: “Hello everyone, most of you have heard the horrible and awful news about Becky. My heart breaks as I even have to tweet this. One of the best and most beautiful actresses that has been on this show. Beside that, she’s a friend and that hurts. Some show will be lucky to have her. May god bless them through this transition.
Much luv to Michael and Becky.”
Greg Vaughn Tweeted: I’ve just heard the news & respectfully wish becky all the love & peace over time! Once the dust settles, dust off & embrace those whom stand before u with deep love everyday & night! We love you, The Vaughan’s.
Kelly Monaco Tweeted: “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.
