Kimberly McCullough Addresses GH Hoax

(thanks to Renee for this!)

 

"I had no idea about it," reports Kimberly McCullough (ex-Robin, r.) of the fake press release that circulated on the Internet announcing that she was returning to GH.  "I found out from the Web master of one of my fan sites when she asked me if it was true, I was stunned."

The faux release, complete with phony quotes from GH executives and the actress herself created a frenzy among McCullough's fans.  ABC, which was bombarded by inquiries, quickly denied releasing the memo.  "I think fans are trying to appeal to me because they think that ABC has been asking me to return for so long, and that I'm being stubborn by saying, 'no,' which is not the case," theorizes the
actress.

According to McCullough, GH has not asked her to return since she left the show for good in 1999.  "I haven't been asked back, but I think they know that I wouldn't be able to commit to the period of time they'd need," explains the actress, whose CBS sitcom THE STONES (which stars Judith Light, ex-Karen, OLTL) premieres on March 17.  "It's hard on a soap opera to bring anyone back for a short amount of time because it takes so long for a story to play out.

However, McCullough would definitely think about reprising her role in a recurring capacity.  "Because things are going well for me in other areas.  I just can't commit to a three year deal.  If it were something different, like a few episodes, of course I'd consider it.
