I don't watch GH,But I thought fans may want to know.
Per Sarah's Twitter...
All the news that is fit to print. Claudia Zacchara has been a wild ride, every ride stops when the music ends. The Music stops mid Oct. - 26 minutes ago.
Its been nice being back at GH, but it's time for the Character to come to an end, at least for me. Much love - 7 minutes ago.
A spokesperson for GH is now confirming this.
From SoapCentral...
A General Hospital spokesperson confirms to soapcentral.com that Brown is, in fact, leaving the show.
"I can confirm she is leaving General Hospital," the spokesperson states. "Her departure from Port Charles will be buzz-worthy for November sweeps… Stay tuned as we move towards Claudia’s exit from the canvas."
Full Version: Sarah Brown leaving General Hospital
I for one am very sad and is really numb lol. all her fans are gonna miss her but she said that she has new movie that she have lead role to die for lol in nov.
I wonder if this is Sarah's choice or TPTB's decision.She's such a great actress I was even starting to love to hate Claudia that's how good she is. I wish her luck as she goes and hope that she lands a awesome role somewhere else whether its in Daytime or Primetime.

She left on her decision. she said she has a movie that she has lead role that she be doing in nov so i am assuming this is why she is leaving also, cause she was unhappy that guza had claudia go after children.
That's a drag, but honestly her roll is getting old, she is almost saying the same thing everyday.. Besides, I'm really getting to like Sonny/Olivia together, the chemistry is amazing..
From the little I've actually seen her on GH, she seems great. But like any good actress, she found herself a new soap.

'General Hospital' star checking into another soap

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Sarah Brown will be checking out of ABC's "General Hospital" and into CBS' "The Bold and the Beautiful," and she won't get a moment's rest in between.
The actress's last appearance on the ABC daytime soap as Claudia Zacchara, the sexy daughter of a mobster, is set for Nov. 5. The next day, she's to be introduced as goodhearted newcomer Sandy Sommers on "The Bold and the Beautiful."
Brown, a triple Daytime Emmy winner when she played a previous character on "General Hospital," said her contract with the serial ran through Jan. 14 and could have barred her from joining the CBS show, even though her ABC role was set to conclude.
But in a rare goodwill gesture involving a competitor, ABC agreed to release her early, said "Bold and the Beautiful" executive producer Bradley P. Bell. The show was named best drama series at this year's Daytime Emmys.
"I was stunned. It was something really very human and very big of them," Bell said. "They were putting the needs of the actress, who is a mother, ahead of the network's."
He called Brown, single mom of 11-year-old Jordan, a "powerhouse actress."
With diminishing viewership and the loss of series including the recently ended "Guiding Light," daytime soaps overall are beneficiaries of ABC's largesse, Bell said.
"As we see the mighty fall, like 'Guiding Light,' the shows that remain are communicating more and we really are in it together," he said. "Soap operas are an American invention and an American pastime, and we don't want them to disappear."
Brown said she has the deepest regard for ABC and its generosity. Her exit from "General Hospital" will make a splash, she promised.
"I'm thrilled with the way they're doing it. ... It pays off for the audience and in a good way for all of us," Brown said.
She's not privy to some details, or willing to share the ones she knows, but "I do believe there's rain involved," she said - noting that storms in fictional Port Charles, N.Y., often play a part in big doings on "General Hospital."
As for her new character, Brown describes Sandy as likable but destined "to stir things up" on "Bold and Beautiful" for Nick (played by Jack Wagner), Bridget (Ashley Jones) and Whip (Rick Hearst).
Brown signed a two-year deal with the show and said she's looking forward to sinking her teeth into Sandy's unfolding story.
For about a week, a production overlap means she'll be juggling her roles for the ABC and CBS soaps.
That's OK, said Brown, because the characters are so different.
Besides, "I do my best when things are constantly changing," she said.
