McCarty Exits Passions Ahead of Schedule

Kelli McCarty (Beth Wallace) will once again be leaving Passions. However, it is unclear if the actress' exit is something that had been planned or if it is a result of the show's budget crunch.

In a message on her official web site, McCarty expressed her appreciation to her fans but did not rule out a possible return to the NBC soap.

"Today [June 1st] is my last official day [of work]," McCarty stated. "I truly enjoyed having fans of Beth come up to me and tell me how much they love having me back on the show - and how much they love to hate Beth."

As previously reported by Soap Central, Passions is in the midst of a major budget crunch, a crunch that has seen half of the show's behind-the-scenes crew fired.

McCarty's return engagement - she appeared on the show from 1999 through 2004 as both a contract and recurring player - was always slated to last only a few months. However, McCarty returned to TV screens in May and her last tape date came just one month later.

A final airdate has not yet been made available, though the actress is expected to air into July.
