  1. A screenname like that is quite a pedigree!

    The only way I can see them creating a new character for Robinson is that they may have wanted a blank slate in order to explain his backstory with Mary. Either way, it did seem pointless.

    I agree that they should have kept Liz around. I think the problem for her was that she and Rachel were never very close, and she wasn't overly close to the Corys, outside of Mac. They could have expanded on these relationships. I also wish they'd brought in another young Matthews (I'm sure Susan could have had some kids) to spend time with Liz. Or she could have been close to Cass, which would have caused conflict with Frankie, given Liz's hatred of the Frames.

    Irene was fired in 1986, yes. She returned in late 1987. I remember her returning from San Francisco wearing sunglasses and vamping it up to Mac, for a laugh.

    I think Robinson was brought in because Denise was there and they wanted to recapture their GH chemistry

  2. I was reading in a spring 1996 SOD about GH casting a sexy young woman who would have a surprising tie to town. That is basically Carly. They said SMG had been seen at the studio, for what they didn't know. They also said Melissa Reeves was rumored to be getting the role. Can you imagine Melissa Reeves or SMG as Carly?

    Gellar, Yes. Reeves, No, only because I just see her as Sweet Jennifer Horton. maybe she could have done it, IDK.

  3. Names rumored as recasts when OLTL fired Kale Browne as Sam:

    Gregg Marx, Dennis Parlato, Randolph Mantooth, John Martin.

    Kind of off they'd even consider two actors who had been fairly high profile on OLTL (especially Parlato).

    a lot of different ages too

  4. Shortly before the production shakeup,there was another commotion,when several actors were taken off-contract,including James Reynolds(Abe)Peggy McCay(Caroline)Frank Parker(Shawn)Christie Clark(Carrie)Michael Bays(Julio)and Joy Garret(Jo).

    For Peggy McCay,the change has been hard,because her work schedule has been drastically reduced.”I used to work a few times a week”,she explains,”Now I'm on once or twice a month,and then I have three or four lines to say. I feel I could phone it in.”

    The whole situation mystifies her.”I threw away opportunities because of the show. I had a chance to audition for Generations and I had to turn it down.(Peggy was even in the process of buying a new house,but had to nix the deal once she lost her contract status.)

    I assume this is when James left when to on to play Henry Marshall on Generations. I wonder what generations had for Peggy McCay.
