Rebecca Herbst OF GENERAL HOSPITAL ON ABC
‘The Neighborhood’ is in for the long haul with the series’ 100th episode
Q: With “General Hospital” celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, and you marking your own 25th anniversary on the serial, how interesting is it for you to review the arc of your character, Elizabeth Webber? A: I don’t think she has changed that much, but she has grown. She has three children to look after, and she has had many relationships that she’s learned from ... but every now and then, you see that feisty Elizabeth come back, especially recently.
Beth Behrs stars in the 100th episode of “The Neighborhood” Monday on CBS.
Q: It takes the right acting partner to make a love story work, and you’ve had several on “General Hospital.” How do you feel about those? A: I have been very fortunate with my pairings, going back to Elizabeth and Lucky, and I was paired with Jonathan Jackson. We were kids at the time, but that was such a beautiful story, a sweet and innocent first love. That taught Elizabeth what true love is supposed to feel like. Then she ended up in a relationship with Jason Morgan, who was part of the mobster group in Port Charles, and that was her first grown-up experience. She’s been married, like, five times. And she’s still trying to figure it out. She’s not with anybody currently, which I think is really great for her. Q:
What do you think has given you such longevity as Elizabeth?
A: People can relate to her. She has failed at relationships, she has failed herself, and she has failed her children at times ... but she always seems to be able to pick herself back up and make things right. For most of her life, she’s been a single, struggling mother trying to hold down a job and navigate friendships that aren’t always easy. She’s real life.
