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.............

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.

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. :rolleyes:

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

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!

    • It was all about Gio today, boys

      He was really sweet and dorky though, and I enjoyed the violin lol. And he looked good too  I'm speculating that the big reveal will happen at Gio's birthday party. It's definitely time. But yeah, he really should've gotten advice and encouragement from someone, from anyone other than Sonny though. And while I understand where Dante is coming from, he was a little annoying today again. They really needed to establish this tension and anger a lot sooner than now, or not do it at all. Plus, this had already been done with Mac/Cody, Nina/Willow, etc., and honestly, it doesn't seem necessary here.  As for Lucky and Liz, as much as I like angsty couples, I'm still concerned about what Frank may (or may try to) do with them. The biggest reason why Lucky is like a 'cowboy' is because this friggin guy spent the better part of a decade basically erasing him from existence.
    • True, lol. IIRC, Rita Moreno said in an interview that part of the problem was that Susan Harris was ill during the week they taped that episode and therefore was unable to make needed script changes.  I wonder what might have happened had they been able to delay the taping until she felt well enough to work more on the script.  I feel like "Nest" might've sold with Moreno and Paul Dooley (although the patient with DID would've needed to be eighty-sixed regardless, lol).
    • What is the most recent episode in which Maurice Johnson's Ted wore a turtleneck?
    • They had a Liam/Hope montage today supposedly about all their times together but it was only Annika's Hope and no scenes from Kim Matula's Hope.  I realize they probably didn't want to restage those scenes with Annika. But still it was weird to omit the Italian wedding.  They could have thrown in a Puglia scenery pic without the actors.
    • I haven't watched today's episode yet, but maybe that was the point. Maybe they're trying to move Ted in a more unlikable/villain direction and it wouldn't work with the previous actor. Or maybe it's just that transition phase which will take some getting used to. 
    • Thanks to the benefits of watching the last weeks of Sherry's stint as Liza and the start of Louan's stint as Liza... I can safely say that Liza would have remained the lead heroine had Sherry stayed on as Liza.   Charisma is a mighty important element that makes someone watchable and likable... and Sherry had that. No disrepect for Louan because she was a good actress.. but to me, she played a more passive/neurotic Liza vs the more confident/decisive version of Liza.  I think the Liza vs Estelle over TR story would have had more impact with Sherry in the role..imho.
    • Welcome @SoapCurios it is nice to see new people here. Many episodes from The City still aren't available, but if I find any that touch on Azure's story, I will post them.
    • I'm not invested in Ted as a character anymore either. He's not the same.
    • I have a feeling it was either coincidence or it was an idea whose time had come. Remember Bill Bell was also into the psycho-sexual. So it was happening more than one place. Pete Lemay began disagreeing with Irna quite early on. He shut up & listened at first, naturally because he had to learn the basics. But, as soon as he had, they began to have arguments, disagreements. They both were devotees of character-driven but the similarities stopped pretty quickly. Bolin as far as AW was concerned was nuts & bolts, or more $$$. It was all about the numbers. And the numbers were great, double the ad revenue & that went to the network. As far HTSAM was concerned, that was her baby, no one else's. It is so funny to me that Lemay started this by accident.
