I read on some other site incolving GH, how the fans hated when Shenait Ashenafi (Keesha Ward), was fired in 1998 after 4 years, and i was thinking what firing would you all call the worst, i say Suzanne Rogers and Peggy McCay, the worst.............

A few of the most shocking to me was

Jennifer Bransford from GH she rocked as Carly and should have not been fired for the very untalented Laura Wright

Cady Mcclains firing from AMC last year was really shocking.

There have been a lot of boneheaded, stupid and mean firings over the years. A lot of vets were fired but at least they weren't involved in a major story for awhile and you could sort of see it coming. For me the worst was Cady McClain as Dixie. I waited almost two decades for Tad and Dixie to have a daughter together and then TIIC kill Dixie off before their daughter is found; the only child of a supercouple that has been popular since the 1980's. Before doing something so drastic, the LEAST they could have done was had Tad and Dixie reunite and find Kate and conclude the story a lot of fans waited almost 20 years to see. I have always considered myself an extremely loyal AMC viewer but I will NEVER forgive them for that. The show is dead to me.

The worst : Michael Zaslow (Roger, GL) for a medical condition.

Suzanne Rogers from Days. hands down. at that point everyone thought the murders were real and hey wouldnt be back. The only reason i have her above FR as Alice is because by that point i knew this all had to be some kinda twist. But with Suzanne... it was heartbreaking. I cried.

Dunno the actress' name, but Maureen Bauer from GL. I wasn't born yet but my mother tells me it sent shockwaves throughout the industry.

Frankie Frame on AW. Her brutal murder was the final nail in the show's coffin

Surprise surprise JFP was behind both firings.

Also worth mentioning: Frances Reid, Suzanne Rogers, Anna Lee, Stuart Damon, Michael Zaslow

JFP was involved in several.

Michael Zaslow and Grant Aleksander

John Reilly played Dan Stewart on ATWT. When he quit Irna Phillips did not want to recast so she fired everybody in his storyline with the exception of his parents,David and Ellen.

On AMC.

Cady McClain

Julia Barr

Vincent Izerry

Allyson Rice-Taylor on ATWT. An incredibly short-sighted move.

Is she one who was replaced by Susan Batten?

Yes, unfortunately.

I don't get why that had to be so brutal.

Also, JFP firing 90 year old Anna Lee as GH's Lila Quartermaine was also distasteful.

Two come to mind:

The tasteless, classless and basically evil act of firing 90 year old Anna Lee from GH in 2004 courtest of Frons and JFP. Considering she'd been at the show since 1978 I would think a little bit of loyalty woudl have gone a long way.

Also, Suzanne Rogers at DAYS. That one blew me out of the water and I never saw it coming. Plus, I think Suzanne was really hurt by it. I'm just glad she was re-hired 6 months later and that she's been at DAYS ever since. Maggie Horton is classic!
