Long-time General Hospital veteran, Anna Lee (Lila Quartertmaine) has been taken off contract. While being taken off contract usually equates to real-world terms of being fired, a spokesperson for ABC states that the actress will still be seen on a recurring basis.
"There is no such thing as a lifetime contract," refutes a spokesperson for ABC Daytime.
While Lee will no longer be a contract player, ABC insists that this does not mean that the actress or her character will be written off.
"Anna Lee has been a beloved cast member of General Hospital for many years, and it is our intent to continue to use her in a recurring role as Lila Quartermaine on the show as story needs may dictate," said the network in an official statement.
