Kimberly McCullough is once again leaving the role of Robin Scorpio, a part she has been playing for almost 26 out of her 33 years on this earth. According to Soap Opera Digest the General Hospital star is leaving the soap opera to go behind the camera. A spokesperson for the show said, “Kimberly McCullough has decided to pursue her dream of directing full-time, so she has decided to leave General Hospital as storyline dictates.” But before she departs early next year the publicist added, “Expect a poignant and must watch storyline for Robin and Patrick.” Haven’t almost all of their stories been that way?
Personally I won’t miss her on the daytime drama because she hasn’t really added anything to the show. Because she is pretty much a lifer they have made her front and center,, and that is not something her character has necessarily warranted.
McCullough is the second GH lifer to announce they are leaving the soap this month, Jonathan Jackson will also be stepping away from the role of Lucky once again in 2012.
