GH: The KIMBERLY MCCULLOUGH HOAX

A press release announcing the return of Kimberly McCullough (ex-Robin) to General Hospital is making the rounds on the Internet. There's one problem, though:  It's a bizarre hoax.  Kimberly McCullough is not returning to GH.

In the faux release, ABC president Brian Frons is quoted as saying:  "I'm thrilled to welcome Kimberly back to General Hospital. Throughout Robin's HIV storyline, she proved herself to be a remarkably talented actress.  Robin is a very important part of the show's history."  Co-headwriter Chuck Pratt Jr. was quoted as saying:  "Fans can look forward to an emotional reunion between Robin and her gravely injured uncle, Mac (John J. York), as well as ex-lover, Jason (Steve Burton).  Along the way, viewers will learn of her own hardship which Robin recently had to face."

But wait, there's more!

McCullough is quoted as saying:  "After being away from daytime for six years, I realized how much I miss my friends at General Hospital.  I can't wait to begin working."

"It's an unfortunate hoax," responded a spokesperson for the network of the fabricated release and quotes.

Right before going to press, Weekly spoke with McCullough, who didn't know about the ruse.  "No, I'm sure my mother will call me tomorrow and tell me," she laughed, adding that no one from GH has approached her about reprising the role of Robin.  "I don't know where these rumors come from."  McCullough is very busy with her recurring role on the new CBS sitcom The Stones - starring Judith Light (ex-Karen, One Life to Live), which is set to debut March 27.
