Sometimes, the soap is happy and the actor is happy, but something happens and things cannot continue as they have always been. A prime example of this is Haley Pullos.
It takes a special talent to portray a character as emotionally complex as Molly. She is wise beyond her years, a romantic, and an optimist. She strives to achieve and excel. But like all residents of Port Charles, she has had her share of adversity. Unfortunately, for Pullos, parts of her life have seemingly mirrored Molly's. Most notably, early in her run, Molly was involved in a traumatic accident. Recently, Pullos was involved in an accident as well. Initially, it seemed like she would only need a brief respite to recuperate. However, as more and more details came out, it looked less and less likely that the actor would be returning to her role.
Since her exit, there have been two talented actresses who have attempted to carry Molly's story forward. The first, Holiday Mia Kriegel, lasted only nine episodes. The second, Brooke Anne Smith, seems to be doing a little better. However, fans are asking the producers to give Pullos a second chance. What happens next is anyone's guess. Currently, the behind-the-scenes drama seems to have captivated fans just as much as the show's writing.
