The reported incidents of unprofessional behavior have had a significant impact on the production of "General Hospital" and the well-being of her colleagues:
"I think there's this misconception that to be professional, you have to be perfect and put-together all the time," Maitland said in an interview. "But I believe that being professional means being true to yourself and your art. Sometimes that means being vulnerable and taking risks."
When reached for comment, Ward's representatives released a statement denying the allegations of unprofessionalism. "Maitland is a dedicated and passionate actress who always strives to deliver her best work," the statement read. "Any allegations of unprofessionalism are simply unfounded and not based in reality."
