Members rem13 Posted December 14, 2006 Members Share Posted December 14, 2006 http://community.tvguide.com/forum.jspa?forumID=700000047 All My Children: Julia Barr Update TVGuide.com previously reported that soap star Julia Barr — who's played Brooke English on All My Children since 1976 — has departed from the ABC sudser. Now there's more info to share... and it's rather disappointing, kids. Brooke will last be seen among the mourners at Simone's funeral in the Wednesday, Dec. 20 episode. After that, she simply vanishes from the canvas of Pine Valley without explanation. An AMC rep confirmed to TVGuide.com that "there is no exit scene planned" for Brooke, but did not elaborate further. The outspoken Julia Barr is understandably bummed out about this. In her December newsletter, Barr writes: "I had assumed that I would have a final scene regarding my character's departure — certainly with Tad or Jamie, or even a last jab at Erica. I think the fans would have liked the chance to say goodbye to Brooke and to have had some closure with the character many have known for 30 years. I know it is what I would have wanted. However, it was not the decision that was made for whatever reason." Hmmph! Now is this any way to treat a beloved suds veteran? It is really hard to understand how the writers could do this to her and the viewers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SteveFrame Posted December 14, 2006 Members Share Posted December 14, 2006 The other thread does not have the stuff from TVGuide.com so I don't see the need to delete this one. This one gives us some additional info. Rather than delete I would say merge them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HotMom Posted December 18, 2006 Members Share Posted December 18, 2006 I am so very sorry that you have been treated this way, Mrs. Barr. You deserve so much better. Do not dwell on these, but move on to something worthwhile. Know that many of us look forward to seeing you again. With much gratitude, RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members operagirl1 Posted December 18, 2006 Members Share Posted December 18, 2006 It's shameful. That's what Brian Frons thinks of his audience. What a small man he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tina m Posted December 19, 2006 Members Share Posted December 19, 2006 AMC is being trashy. Julia is a class act and deserves a good exit. Couldn't spare a few seconds from Colby or Zarf? Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted December 19, 2006 Members Share Posted December 19, 2006 Hmm, that post & poster name makes me curious. But I agree with every word of it. Julia Barr is a gem. It sickens me that in the past two years, both of my favorite AMC actresses have been let go. I'm proud of both Julia & Marcy for declining recurring status.
