“General Hospital” (GH) Rebecca Herbst has been front and center for approximately the past three years in the Jason (Billy Miller) storyline. Herbst currently plays the character of Elizabeth Webber on ‘GH. Her character is presently dealing with the fallout of withholding Jason’s true identity from him after she found out at the Nurse’s Ball last year.
Earlier today Jamey Giddens posted an article on the Daytime Confidential website about the actresses’ contract negotiations hitting a snag. Giddens article stated the he heard from multiple sources that Herbst and ABC hit a snag in their contract negotiations for her continuation as the infamous Elizabeth Webber. Word is that NBC’s ‘Days of Our Lives’ is very interested in hiring the popular actress for a role on their serial. From the looks of it General Hospital may just lose another big name star to another soap opera.
Rebecca Herbst joined ‘General Hospital’ back in 1997 and her pairings with her several GH co-stars has lead to her now popularity. Her pairing with Jonathan Jackson’s and Greg Vaughan’s Lucky, her pairing with Tyler Christopher’s Nikolas Cassadine and her pairing with Steve Burton’s and Billy Miller’s Jason Morgan caused a major rise in fame for the actress.
Currently Liz Webber is in the middle of a story where her son Jake (James Nigbor) really needs the attention of his mother and father. Liz is also tied between stories with Jason and Sam (Kelly Monaco).
So are you hoping to Herbst join the cast of Days of Our Lives? Are you hoping that ABC and Herbst are able to come to a mutual contact decision? Stay tuned as we update you as news on this story develops.

Well if this article is true boy GH will be making a bad mistake. She is one of the top actress on that show. I’m not saying the show will not go on but it will lose a lot of fans. Day of our lives rating is better than GH now. GH is in real trouble.
I hope she leaves gh and doesn’t go to days I can’t stand her .
I would start watching GH again if she left! Can’t stand the character of Liz and I don’t think Rebecca Herbst is all that great an actress.
She can leave so she can get out of Jason and Sam life, and finally get a life of her own.
Why?? Rebecca Herbst is an amazing actress! GH just needs to redeemed Liz. Liz is not Rebecca Herbst.I’m
She is a wonderful actress. She has done a very good job with an awful storyline. The fact is that soaps need someone to dislike. Are you really going to watch for long if life is rosy all the time? I doubt it because it would become boring. Let her go and ratings will fall which GH does not need to happen! Honestly, Liz has made me mad this year but that is a testament to Becky’s acting skills that emotions are so off-the-charts.
I guess they are thinking of her & Eric since he played Lucky on GH, to pair them up but I would rather for her to just stay where she’s at, I don’t want her with Eric, they need to just let her stay on there. I can’t see her on Days really, she is Elizabeth even though she annoys me most of the time.
Eric needs to come back to GH.
GH is gonna lose some fans if this happens.. LOVE Rebecca she’s the reason some still watch this show. If you hate her character then she is doing her job.. gh you have already lost to many don’t lose this one.
She’s also the reason MANY have quit watching!
days has been renewed now – it was announced the other day by nbc
Please leave gh she is annoying!
I would hate to see Rebecca leave GH but do NOT want her to think about going to DOOL as the rumor mill is full of “writers told to stop writing til Sony and NBC reach a new agreement” and they have storylines til Sept 2016 and have stopped writing. Rebecca is a talented actress, but she would serve herself better by staying where she is. JMO
I hope she leaves I hate her and all her brats Zzzz so boring and annoying gtfo Rebecca .
I think Rebecca is a great actor. She plays her part as if it is real.That’s why every one gets angry. she does it so well. there is no one that can play her part so well. what ever she needs to get to stay. you should give it to her. She can not be replaced so easy . Trust she does know how to piss people off. so Rebecca stay on GH.
I watch GH since it was black n white . I love Liz and will be disappointed to see her
leave . She was always a sweet person , then her rape . Lucky n her having a family . HER n Jason together then Liz having Jason baby then there is her losing Jake n only come back only to lose him again. Yes sometime she can be a B****h . PAY her what she deserve . Please please keep her in GH. plus I like her relationship with Carly . Most of these fans r young n they don’t know the real Liz . Please don’t let her go.
I they take Liz off I will quit watching the show. I have watched her from the time she came on the show and she has always been one of my favorites. Don’t let her go!
Greg Vaughn who plays Eric on Days is leaving the show so I doubt Days would bring her on to make a connection with Eric.
My guess if Days got her, maybe they’d use her as Abby since Kate Mansini is leaving.
I adore Rebecca Herbst. She’s an amazing actress. We may not like what they write for her but she nails her storylines EVERY time!
Don’t let her leave. That will be a big mistake for them. She is a talented actress what the writers need to do is give her the credit and respect she deserves and stop writing for her as a second to another actress and couple to prop them up. it is sad to read others want her to go so Sam and Jason can be together what would be nice is if those people learn to learn the difference between the actress and the character she play.
Good riddance. The character is just useless and pretty much despised at the moment. I find RH an overactor and that kid who plays Jake cannot act at all. I am aware he is a child and is supposed to be creepy but it is painful to watch him try. Pairing any new male character with Liz is a joke…what man wouldn’t know her history and run far and fast
Rebecca is so talented and I remember her from day one. She is a very strong leading and supporting actress and would be a huge loss for G.H
I do not like her character. The writers need to write her as a strong independent woman and nurse and somebody can look up to. Not this needy home wrecking person that puts herself first even before her kids. Obviously Liz is not the actual Rebecca Herbst and that is the only way she can be redeemed. Have her fall out of love with Jason and quit all the lying.
Every soap needs a bitch and she does it very well! Not a fan of her character but she’s a good actress and plays the part well.
I don’t care for the character, Elizabeth, so I would be fine with the actress jumping ship to days. I watch both, so I’d still get to see Rebecca (who, I think is great), without having to deal with Liz. Sounds like a win-win to me!
She is a great actress but she can go high better on movies
I will still watch GH if she leaves I just hate her coming to my other soap DOOL
I’m afraid she’s on her way there
I’ve quit liking the character of Liz a long time ago
I will not miss Liz.. Her character is not a Miss Goody-Two-Shoes. When she first appeared on GH she stole Lucky from her sister, Sara. She had a one night stand with Zander, then with Jason, and was married to Ric Lansing. She was with Nicholas, Lucky’s brother, while she was with Lucky.
Lucky as Liz if she was still interested in Jason. She told Lucky she was only interested in Jason for what he could give, financially, material things. So much, for saying he was her true love.. Jason told Liz that he did not love her and Sam was the only person loved. (guess the writers do not look at past episodes). For the second, time, she became engaged to Rick. She even kept Jason from knowing she was having his baby. Also, how she kept DNA info from Sam. Her character will not be missed.
If the powers-to-be feel they need the character, they can recast the role. Look how many Carly’s Gh has had,,,Sarah Brown, Tamara Braun and the present Carly. I am sure Rebecca will make the decision that is good for her and probably not out of work for long. As far as we know, she may want to do something new and challenging after being at GH for so long.
