I've been on so many primetime shows that were cancelled - after one episode, after 10 episodes, after just one season. I got used to that. But I found myself choking up a bit at 'OLTL.' It was really hard to say goodbye to those people. It was not the way we wanted to go out.

Im feeling very lucky to be on GH. Its kind of cool to be part of the fight to keep the show on the air. I hope I can help contribute to that.
