Rebecca Herbst Rescued By Her Fans

Rebecca Herbst has played nurse, Elizabeth Webber for 13 years. She is a cast member on the long-running soap opera, "General Hospital." The actress first appeared on the show as a teenage character who fell in love with Lucky Spencer, who is the son of the famed couple, Luke and Laura. Rebecca Herbst along with Jonathan Jackson, became a super couple on the show. Jonathan Jackson returned to his role last year after a decade away from the soap opera. He wanted to work again with his on-screen love, after working solely in films.

She has been a fan favorite for years and it was a huge shock when the show's producers announced that nurse Webber was no longer needed as a part of the fictional hospital staff. This announcement struck anger in her fan base, and they decided to raise their voices to save the beloved actress.

The soap fans made so much noise on the site that the actress started to trend causing millions of people to view the campaigns. This is a hard thing to do when millions of people are tweeting together every second. The passionate soap fans rose above all the noise of the day, and lead Rebecca Herbst to the top of the website.

Fellow cast mates were dismayed over the firing of their friend, and they let the powers to be know their disappointment and shock over the controversial decision. Soap actors also took to "Twitter" and joined the fans in their loud battle cry. Her fans declared that they would never watch the television show again, if the actress was not rehired. Some of the more passionate fans even declared that they never even watch the network again. The human spirit when bound together with others cannot be ignored, or pushed aside.

Soap actors often get little or now respect. Rebecca Herbst is a talented and dedicated actress that has recently witnessed the fruits of her labor and talent. The producers and the network made the decision to save her character, and she is there now only due to her fans' dedication, support, and admiration. Rebecca is still currently employed, and the next time she cashes her check she can thank all the loyal soap opera fans who allowed her to stay acting and making a living.
