October 22, 200718 yr Member Nope Bobbie and Jerry haven't had one single scene Goldy. I think it was SOD or SOW that had mention of this in the mailbag from fans wondering why their history was being ignored
October 22, 200718 yr Member I forgot about Justus! He's another Q that Guza has killed off. And Justus had so much potential! He really could have caused some continued drama for the Q's. His death also meant the end of the Ward family. Ah, when ABC tried to veer away from being the lilly-white network! Question: does anyone remember what happened to Keisha Ward?
October 22, 200718 yr Administrator Had Wendy Riche still been there, none of this crap would be happening. She loved the Q's. Wendy!!! I really hope Guza/GH tanks in the demos during sweeps.
October 22, 200718 yr Member Wendy!!! I really hope Guza/GH tanks in the demos during sweeps. I actually disagree here. Tanking during sweeps just means that GH has to cut budgets, which probably means the end of even more vets. I really doubt it would mean the end of Guza, because I can't see his reign of terror ceasing while Frons is in power.
October 22, 200718 yr Member I definitely can see them taking Jackie Zeman off contract, but I don't see them killing her off. The character barely registers and I doubt Frons, Guza, etc would even go to the trouble of killing her off to explain her absence. My guess is that they'd pull a "Julia Barr" and have the character just disappear with little or no explanation. I think that they killed off Alan instead of having him fade into the woodwork because they knew his death would resonate emotionally with key characters such as Skye and Emily. How would Bobbie's death impact any of the characters? The writers hardly ever recognize her relationship with Luke or Carly. It's really a shame. Can anyone recall any other actor/actress in recent soap history whose screen time suddenly decreased so dramatically overnight? She was a lead heroine until Frons took over. Even with Julia Barr, her decrease in screen time happened fairly gradually and she was still used somewhat regularly up until she was let go. All very odd. As for Emily being killed off, didn't Frons say in his Soapnet interview last month discussing fall previews that Natalia had re-signed with the show and that they were again going to be emphasizing the fairy tale aspect of the Emily/Nikolas story?

As long as GH is #1 or #2 in the demos, Guza will never leave and GH will never be good again.
October 22, 200718 yr Member I hate to see vets cut, but I'd rather GH have it's budget cut for a change. I'm sick of OLTL and AMC getting the brunt of this
October 22, 200718 yr Member As long as GH is #1 or #2 in the demos, Guza will never leave and GH will never be good again. I know, but my point was that even is GH did less well than it normally does in sweeps, say, falling in fourth behind ATWT (because let's face it, GH can't do THAT badly during one of its sweeps stunts), I still don't think Guza would be fired. Frons loves him too much. It would just mean a smaller budget, and even less of the vets. Edited October 22, 200718 yr by Graciecat

Contracts mean nothing. They only lock in the actor at a guaranteed salary for x amount of time. The fact of the matter is, neither Tyler or Natalia want Nikolas & Emily, and they shouldn't be together. Nikolas & Emily haven't been the same in years. It all went downhill after they had the Nikolas look-alike rape Emily.
October 22, 200718 yr Member I actually really enjoy GH and just as I'm like, wow, this is good drama, they kill of Alan, or plan to kill Emily, or totally ignore Audrey and Bobbie, and then I get pissed again! lol

Frons loves him too much. It would just mean a smaller budget, and even less of the vets. Fans are beginning to catch on to GH's pattern of bringing out the "good stuff" for sweeps and then going back to crap soon after. February Sweeps wasn't the success ABC hoped it would be. May Sweeps was a bomb....
October 22, 200718 yr Member Wowee wow wow wow. I've traditionally been a Guza backer, but even I'm wondering now if he's the best person to write this show under the current ABC hierarchy.
October 22, 200718 yr Member I would love to see JZ on DAYS as a new character tied to the past...she could be Kate's older sister. or even Marlena's cousin something fun. Or even as Laura Horton?

It all went downhill after they had the Nikolas look-alike rape Emily. I thought that it went down hill after Tyler and Natalia broke up in real life. I think that is why they (Tyler & Natalia) don't won't Nik and Emily together.
October 22, 200718 yr Member Killing off Bobbie Spencer is such a huge mistake. She is such an amazing char with great ties to people currently on the show (Lulu, Lucky, Luke... firnedhsip with Monica. Ex of Jerry. Carly, Michael, Morgan. Plus shes a nurse!). However GH has not used her in years. So it wouldnt suprise me. And IMO, if the show isnt gonna use them then let them go.
