Today marked the final day for Holiday Mia Kriegel to play Molly Lansing-Davis on General Hospital, as Brooke Anne Smith took over. After Haley Pullos was involved in a motorway accident in April and was charged with two felonies (DUI causing injury and driving while intoxicated) and one misdemeanour count of hit-and-run, Kriegel was called in as an emergency replacement. Kriegel started airing in May. A GH representative declined to comment on Pullos' position with the show, and she has pled not guilty.
