All The Reasons Molly's Recast On General Hospital Is A Total Mess

Considering that Haley Pullos' recast is temporary, the first mistake "General Hospital" made was starting up a brand new, major storyline for Molly. She and T.J. Ashford (Taj Bellow) wanted to have a child, but those hopes disappeared when she learned that her eggs weren't viable. Had Pullos been working as usual, this would have been a juicy plot for her to dive into, but now she can't take part. While the actor has not yet made any public statements about missing out on this story, it's reminiscent of "GH" alum Vinessa Antoine, who recently reflected on the years she played police commissioner Jordan Ashford. 

When Antoine tried to take some time off from the show to work on another project, she was permanently recast without any explanation and missed out on her character marrying Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner). Fans suffered a double whammy with this current Molly storyline because star Lexi Ainsworth chose to leave the part of Molly's sister, Kristina Davis, and was recast with "Days of Our Lives" alum Kate Mansi. 

Kristina is super busy at the moment too, trying to start up a homeless shelter. She also wants to be a surrogate for Molly, but Molly feels like Kristina is making the pregnancy issue all about herself. It's very offputting to see two recasts, in such quick succession, embroiled in a major storyline, especially knowing that Pullos will eventually return. They should have just put Molly on the back burner until she came back.
