GH fans were happy to learn that she was no longer on Y&R and thought it meant that she may be returning to General Hospital. Of course she would have to be brought back from the dead on there as well but it never happened.

Y&R fans did love the fact that recently Kelly Sullivan came back on as the ghost of Sage Newman and haunted Sharon Newman (Sharon Case). Since they could not have her character back they were happy to at least have her around for awhile as a ghost.
