Can anyone explain to me why John J. York is still on contract with GH? He is rarely used, the character will NEVER again be the focus of story, and appears less than EVERY other contract cast member on the show.

I'm looking for legitimately good reasons that they haven't dropped him to recurring yet.

Compassion. (Remember he was dropped, and then picked up again)?

He's a tireless ambassador for the show...and that's why folks like Kate Linder have been kept on other shows.

In some cases, with a negligible guarantee, it might be easier and cheaper to do a contract than try to arrange recurring visits on a case-by-case basis.

Also (per NB), doesn't ABC allegedly have "contracts" with no guarantees? Basically contracts in name only?

I suspect in these economic times for daytime that is going to be less and less strange and more and more common. The story doesn't care of the actors are on contract or not, but the producer probably does. On DOOL John Aniston is not on contract and he was in the top 10 also. As long as the show knows they can rely on these people, and realistically which soap star has move producers just banging down their door to steal them away, they can keep working off-contract actors and fill the show. They got a solid year or two out of the woman who played Diane, and how much money did they save not extending her a contract?

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
