Rebecca Budig JOINS General Hospital

Frank and Ron announced that Rebecca Budig (ex Greenlee - AMC) is joining General Hospital as a new character in a "killer" role and a spitfire of sorts.

I think getting Rebecca was a great move b/c she's a very, very, good, and strong, actress

BUT I have some trepidation and reservations too....

GH already has a bloated cast and needs to cut a lot of the dead weight first before making more casting announcements. Funny thing is Frank and Ron have another casting announcement regarding Fan February. Making announcements vs trimming your cast in a big and substantial way = Bad decision making. The latter needs to come first.

GH already has enough trouble writing stories for the characters they have so why suddenly hire Rebecca Budig? If Rebecca is actually playing a recast (IMO I could see her play Robin) and is tied to a bunch of characters w/ a family? I can get behind that because it'd make sense. If she's playing brand new character that'll take airtime away from other deserving characters? what's the point then?

Thoughts?

I think a Robin recast makes sense. Robin is needed and KM seems to be getting lots of directing gigs.

I dont want it to be a Robin recast because I love RB and I H A T E Robin.

There is no reason for a Sarah Webber recast at this time.

I LOVE and miss seeing Rebecca Budig on my TV Screen! Oh I miss my AMC/Greenlee.

However hearing this news, made my jaw drop as I was instantly happy. However, GH has a bloated cast (my only beef with the show), but I'm speculating it maybe a new role. KMC is getting a lot of directorial gigs, but I just dot see FV recasting as it's such a crucial role, though they recasted Jason, but they would've done this a long time ago if they wanted to. But who knows, I really hope it's not Robin, they did say "Killer Role" so I have to ask is that to generate buzz or a clue to her character? Either way, I'm SO EXCITED!

But I need the show to cut some dead weight as well!

It'll be great to see Rebecca Budig again on the Soap scene, but I do agree with the consensus here. The cast is quite bloated, and there are many deserving characters who see very little air time, but I could well be wrong. (Not the first time, definitely NOT the last time) I have always liked GH (mainly due to my wonderful Quartermaines), but it's time some dead weight was taken out. Who's to say who Rebecca will play on GH, and I hope it goes well.

According to SOD, the role is only short term. Rebecca will interact w/ Billy Miller and some others
