Members Ponz Posted August 10, 2007 Members Share Posted August 10, 2007 No idea how reliable this is... Rumor has it Frank Parker (Grampa Shawn) has been fired.....and will last air in the next couple of months. He is not expected to be the only casualty of the DiMera/Brady war. http://www.w3pg.com/w3-cgi/getmsg.pl/3/6540.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KevC1980 Posted August 10, 2007 Members Share Posted August 10, 2007 I think this will be great drama for the show, and is really needed to up the stakes in this Brady/Dimera war...Can't wait..Just hope he is given a huge funeral and nice tribute for all his years on the show..

Members FrenchFan Posted August 10, 2007 Members Share Posted August 10, 2007 Not a real fan but killing a vet is always sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sungrey Posted August 10, 2007 Members Share Posted August 10, 2007 After the disaster that the SSK was, I had hoped the show would place a moratorium on killing off vets. That said, I think this could create a huge storyline if done the right way. The Bradys would be grieving for weeks and months on end (ideally) and there's always the wild card of Victor. Not crazy about it, but there are some story possibilities here. Hmmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheyenne Posted August 10, 2007 Members Share Posted August 10, 2007 Ohh, that's sad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KSlater Posted August 10, 2007 Members Share Posted August 10, 2007 I must be horrible. I don't feel sad. He was barely ever on the show. I hate to see any actor lose his job, but Grandpa Shawn never made much of an impression on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Queen_Nubia Posted August 10, 2007 Members Share Posted August 10, 2007 I have been predicting this since the re-start of the fued, and I think it is a good decision to raise the stakes...and also free up the budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members David_Vickers Posted August 10, 2007 Members Share Posted August 10, 2007 I think it's both sad and a good idea storywise as well. I will miss Frank Parker(Shawn Sr.), IF he's really going. I just hope this doesn't start a big axing of vets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheyenne Posted August 10, 2007 Members Share Posted August 10, 2007 That's not why I think it's sad really. For me he's one of those vets that I want on the show. He doens't have to be on much, but when Bo & co is at the the pub it's nice if he comes out and say hello. I just want him there sometimes, that's all.But I do think this could be good for the story. Still sad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sungrey Posted August 11, 2007 Members Share Posted August 11, 2007 You and me both. I don't think this show can stand another purging of the payroll where the vets are concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tylerbo20 Posted August 11, 2007 Members Share Posted August 11, 2007 my guess on whos going to die Grampa Shawn Andre and Benji and possibly Caroline/Victor/John/Lucas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DAYSisHOT Posted August 11, 2007 Members Share Posted August 11, 2007 I love Grandpa Shawn. I hope this is false. Roman would be a dramatic death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted August 11, 2007 Members Share Posted August 11, 2007 I feel bad for Frank but he has health problems as well so I don't think he will be too upset. The feud needs to have impact and killing off the Brady family patriarch is a good way to do it. I am glad to hear he won't be the only casualty, although that worries me too. I had a feeling Shawn Sr was going to die after his scenes when he left the Pub to go to Ireland. It had foreshadowing written all over it IMO. It also opens the door to Caroline/Victor, which I would love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ponz Posted August 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 11, 2007 The same source says Thaao and Leann are out in the fall. http://www.w3pg.com/w3-cgi/getmsg.pl/3/6583.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jane1978 Posted August 11, 2007 Members Share Posted August 11, 2007 Not true, unless Sheffer is gone too. He is the one who wanted Leann back. And he loved the chemistry between her and Thaoo. That´s the only reason why we had to endure another Tony/Andre switch. It could be a work of the new EP, but I seriously doubt his changes would be effective so soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
