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.

Tammin Sursok Joins The Cast of “Husk”
Her tenure as Y&R’s Colleen Carlton may be coming to an end, but Tammin Sursok has already begun to make post Genoa City career moves.

Yeah, that’s right, killer scarecrows. I’m sure this movie won’t be a cinematic masterpiece, but hey, it’s a step up from playing a character that ends up on ‘view click’ after flashing her goodies to an old man. The film is being written and directed by Brett Simmons, and is based on a short film of his that was shown at Sundance, which you can watch below. (more…)
