Next week, on One Life to Live...
With Laura Wright now embedded in the role created by Sarah Brown, the actress resurfaces on General Hospital on January 31.
The new vixen to be portrayed by brown? Claudia Zacchara, the prodigal daughter of mob boss Anthony. Below, the star speaks on this come back with TV Guide:
TVGuide.com: When did the talks to return to General Hospital first start up?
Sarah Brown: Oh, I want to say about five months ago. It was a really interesting happenstance.
TVGuide.com: Was it a call from [ABC Daytime president Brian] Frons or...?
Brown: No, it was nothing like that. First, I haven't seen Maurice Benard or anybody from the show except for Tava [Smiley, ex-Chloe] and Stephen Kay (Reginald) here and there in six or seven years. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, I'm at the car wash and Maurice, who lives in my neighborhood, is there. "What's up, Mo?" [Laughs] Meanwhile, I'm running into Kin Shriner (Scotty) every other day at my gym.
So Maurice and I chatted for a bit, and then three days later I run into [GH executive producer] Jill Farren Phelps, of all people, at the local café. I'm like, "This is weird. General Hospital is everywhere." So I felt like that was a really good time, for a lot of different reasons, to approach Jill and give her a big hug. It built from there.
TVGuide.com: Did you have any reservations about returning to the show? Concerns about "Who's going to have my character's back?"
Brown: A lot of "Who's going to have my back?" went through my mind. It took us five months to really work out all the details. It's been so many years, but right away they let me know, it wasn't ever going to be about me playing Carly, and that's always been interesting to me. They talked to me about that years ago, about a month before I did As the Worlds Turns, like:
"[You can be] Carly's evil twin sister!" Because I had really dark hair at that point. We kicked it around, always in good fun, but it was never really something that we got into in terms of negotiations. I'm funny the way about the way that I work with soaps I like to figure out creatively what we're going to do, and if it makes sense, I have no issues with the boundaries between daytime and prime time. I see other actors do it. Tamara Tunie does As the World Turns and Law & Order: SVU really successfully, and why not?
You should be able to navigate both worlds. So I don't have any reservations about daytime per se. They pitched the hell out of the character and I responded to it right away. "That sounds like fun, sign me up!" [Laughs ]

Despite being treated like crap by All My Children producers - they actually advertised the return of the "real Greenlee during an episode with the supposedly fake Greenlee - Sabine Singh is taking the high road.
She recently said the following, regarding her All My Children ousting:
It has been a difficult week and a shocking, most unexpected turn of events. However, there is one thing that has kept me clearheaded and strong throughout all this: my friends, on and off set.
The amazing AMC fans have been nothing short of supportive, loving, and giving on my behalf. My fellow cast and crew members held me up through my last week of work, where I shot scenes and said lines that were no longer mine.
This is difficult news to receive the week before Christmas, which made it even harder to tell my family. I am sad to have lost a job I loved so much, and I am sad at how much this hurts my amazingly supportive family. However, this turn of events offered me the opportunity to see such beauty in people: I have wonderful friends. I have amazing fans.
The cast and crew of All My Children are so unbelievably supportive. Therefore, ultimately, I would like to thank All My Children for the opportunities they provided me with but most especially I want to thank them because I was able to meet and work with such remarkable, extraordinary people.
Mary J. Blige will perform on One Life to Live on Friday, February 15 and Monday, February 18, marking the six-time Grammy winner's second trip to Llanview.
