If you are a fan of General Hospital, then you've probably already discovered General Hospital Fans at About.com. If you haven't, you'll want to. This site is chock full of news, spoilers, trivia, polls and so much more. Not to mention the extensive group of fans that gather each day in the forums to discuss the show and hang out with others of a like mind. If you haven't visited yet, I urge you to do so.

Soap boards everywhere are a buzz right now with the rumor that Guiding Light's Kim Zimmer (Reva) has been fired due to a letter she posted on her fan club message board. The letter addresses the fact that Zimmer has been given very little screen time, in fact she's not even working the number of days that are contractually guaranteed. In part she says, "I have no idea what this regime is doing!" All I know is that for the first time in my history on this show I am way under my guaranteed number of shows. I don't understand why they would rather pay a character (actor) with such history and connection to what was Guiding Light to not work, than to work said actor their negotiated number of shows a week. But then I'm not the executive director nor am I the "suit" at P & G who has to put up the money (free money) to an under worked actor."

The rumors of her firing are only that. They have not been confirmed at this time. I'm hopeful that Zimmer's Reva will remain on the canvas at Guiding Light for many years to come. The show has made some strides this year to turn things around and revitalize the soap. Many fans are still unhappy with those changes and this is not a great time for the show to be losing any more of its staple cast members, especially cast members that are long-time fan favorites.

How do you feel about the possibility of Kim Zimmer leaving Springfield? Post a comment or discuss it on our forum.

Update: I've been contacted by the webmistress of the Kim Zimmer Fan Club and she directed me to Zimmer's direct response to the rumors. According to Zimmer, she still has more than a year left on her contract and she has not quit, nor has she been fired. This is good news for GL fans everywhere! Thanks go out to Shelli for sharing the good news.
