AP: Emmy-winning Kimberly McCullough leaving 'General Hospital'While recently attending a women's directing program at the American Film Institute, McCullough, now 33, said in an interview that she realized it was time to pursue a dream to direct full time.
"The first thing they said to us was, 'OK, now you're a director,'" she said. "It felt terrifying, relieving and validating. It was a wake-up call, like, 'OK, don't just say you want to do this. Do this.' So after that it kind of became clear that I needed to figure out a way to exit the story."
Juggling acting with directing wasn't an option. McCullough says she's not a multitasker and likes to fully commit to whatever she's doing.
"I can't help myself. When I'm at work I have to give my all," she said. "It's just how I am."

Joanna Cohen: Losing All My Children
"My first script aired in July 2006. I wrote my last almost exactly five years later. I got quite an education during that time. On a typical soap opera there are three tiers of writers — the head writer, the outline or “breakdown” writers and the scriptwriters. Head writers are responsible for coming up with long-term story. Breakdown writers take a week’s worth of story and turn it into five outlines, one for each day. Scriptwriters take these outlines and turn them into scripts. That was my job."
WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Terri Ivens shooting indie film, Untold
Ivens—who played Simone Torres on ALL MY CHILDREN for six years—portrays the grown Gina M. Garcia. Ivens had an immediate connection to her writer/director: “One of my costars from All My Children is Brian Gaskill (already cast as the abductor), and he said I just had to meet Gina. Brian set it up, and Gina and I hit it off immediately. At first, I was supposed to play her mother; I look just like the woman. Through all the negotiating processes, the producers decided I would do better as the lead.”
