According to the new SOD, ABC is interested in snapping up Beth Ehlers. Her contract expires in May, and reportedly interested in making a change. A GL rep had no comment.

Wow. If this could possibly be true, then I would probably say that it's apparent that the current actors on the show are not happy with GL's current direction and haven't been happy for quite sometime. I mean, I'm a spoiler whore and all when reading about departures or firings, but I also take notice to the actors attitude when watching the show 'live'. Like with RPG, he looks like he's just over it and with Beth, I'm not surprised if her fan mail has been nothing but ugly recently within these past couple of months. Just my opinion. I also think Crystal Chappell wants to jump ship as soon as she can as well as Marcy Rylan. I wouldn't mind Marcy Rylan leaving because she's extrememly talented and I would want her to pursue other projects. Selfishly, I'd want Crystal Hunt back as Lizzie Spaulding because I miss her little dog Roxie. She was too cute!

Hasnt Beth leaving been rumoured ever since she was spotted talking to Mark Teschner at the Emmys a few years ago. Honestly, though, I cant see her on any of the ABC soaps, because in five or six years time she wont be used, not to mention she wont be the 'star' like she is on GL. It would be like Kristian Alfonso joining the cast of All My Children... it just wouldnt be the same. Plus she's FAR more likely to win an Emmy on Guiding Light.

For years I have always thought Beth would make a great Dixie re-cast. She just reminds me alot Cady McClain.

Now I certainly do not want her as Dixie knowing Cady would be willing to come back. But back when Cady left in 2001 (of her own choice and it did not look like she would be back) I thought if anyone could fill the role it was Beth.

AMC can hire all the GL actors they want but until thwey get writers who can write the ratings will kepp sinking!

JMO but I think if she does jump to ABC it won't be AMC.

Regardless you're so right about the writers.

I really don't want her paired with RPG again.

I loved Gus and Harley, but lightning never strikes twice, especially when it's these forced actor reunions with different characters. Like Stefan and Katherine on GH.

Of course, it's right up Frons' alley to pull something like that.

Looks like GL is a sinking ship and people want off!

I don't think it's the feeling of being on a sinking ship rather than plain simple money. P&G doesn't pay much anymore and if there is a counteroffer it's easy to take it...

I think Beth would make a great addition to an ABC soap. I don't want her on AMC though. The gimmick of putting two actors paired on one show and doing it again on another rarely works. It hasn't worked well for ABC in the most recent past. So they shouldn't attempt it.

I could see her on OLTL. Either as a new character or as a recast. I wouldn't want her as Marty, though maybe Cassie or Kelly.

Kelly crossed my mind too, Ryan. Not sure about Cassie - but Kelly, I can definitely see. Kassie and Beth would be fun to watch together. :lol:

I could also see her as Kelly, and if it means Dan Gauthier comes back as Kevin then I'm all the more for it. However, I really think she belongs on GL...aside from Zimmer she's the star and it would be a blow to the show if they lost her.
