Last month, Sarah Brown signed a new contract. She'll remain on General Hospital through at least January 2010.

The actress recently shared her reasons why with TV Guide:

TVGuide.com: Sarah Brown is never one to take her career moves lightly. What was important to you in deciding on another year with General Hospital?
Sarah Brown: Re-signing for me this time around was dependent on several major things — What's happening in the economy? Who would be writing the show this year and what kind of story did they have in mind for me? I like having a steady job. It's nice for a change, and that was a big part of the reason I decided to stick around.  

I love the people I'm working with and it is, after all, a great job for a single mom. I work hard, but I work locally and usually have much of my day free.
