For The Doubting Thomases, Tammin Sursok Finally Talks about Her Y&R Exit
After all the “Is she, or isn’t she really leaving?” speculation, Tammin Sursok finally talks to Soap Opera Digest about her exit from Y&R as Colleen Carlton.
Sursok says that her exit from Y&R was a mutual decision between her and the show. “It was becoming too difficult to do Y&R and then work out outside films and projects,” says the actress. “I was actually in Iowa shooting a film during that time (when Colleen’s final scenes were shot),” she explains. “They had to use insert shots of me (which were filmed beforehand) for when she was shown in bed in the hospital.”
She also says that she’s glad Colleen’s death served a greater purpose for Y&R. Greater purpose? I respect the fact that Tammin was too busy doing other things (girl, get out while the getting is good), to devote time to Y&R. But Colleen’s death served no purpose for the legacy of this show, other than to provide a spike in ratings, and give people material for their Emmy reels. I guess there’s a clause in the actor’s contracts saying they can’t speak ill of their story lines. It’s the only explanation I can come up with.

I predict TS is the next big thing, and the idiots at Y&R have just lost another chance to have future greatness (Or at least better PR opportunities) on their show!
TS is so beautiful, and she can act. I wouldn’t be surprised if she lands a spot in a big budget action flick.
When she’s on every talk show promoting her next project, and you hear radio silence when her last job at Y&R is mentioned, please remember this moment. Dumazzes!
If she wanted to leave and explore other work fine, but why did the character have to go with her ?
Word Sarah! TS was a great Colleen IMO, but why the hell wouldn’t they just recast if she couldn’t make it work with her schedule. How myopic, and reckless! No strategic vision. These people are real idiots.
Also, it’s funny that they fired the gangsta A.Leon just so Tammin can say peace ! But, whateva !
I didn’t like Tammin at first when she was in the role, but by last year she grown on me and she was improving very much and was gelling in the role. I wish her very much luck with future endeavors and then she can tell Y&R brass they made a very bad mistake in killing off Colleen.
Next year when Tammin wins a teen choice award I hope the idiots at Y&R cry.
