Being on daytime TV has its benefits. You can still have a life and you know you have a check coming every week.

Leaving GH was not my choice. I wanted to stay and work out a deal, and that was not an option to me.

One thing I savor about what I do is the relationships that I've earned over the years. Becky Herbst and I have been working together for 17 years.
