Jerry verDorn himself on The Locher Room said that he never knew which version of Jane he’d get. It was clear that he meant the actress, not character. I never implied anything else. I posted about what I personally witnessed, which goes along with what Jerry said. They obviously respected each other but that doesn’t mean everything was smooth sailing. 
Speaking of Jerry’s fan club luncheons, they were great! I went to 2 of them. (Not the one Jane was at). Marie Lukasik, Jerry’s fan club president, was a friend of mine. She could get members of Jerry’s fan club into the studio to watch a taping. Thus my encounter watching Jane’s antics.

I think it was terrifc how gracious Jerry and his wife were with the fans and those luncheons

Now is it possible that Jane blew up because there were visitors on the set that day (as you witnessed). Because one of the reasons Soap Opera tours were rare, is because actor don't like many people on the set - as it detracts from their concentration when a doing a scene. Maybe Jane was doing a very important scene that day, and no one told her there are visitors on the set watching her perform.

Am I wrong in remembering that Sofia Landon-Geier wanted to leave, but was surprised that Diane was killed?

It might've made more sense in the end to kill off Andy for the murder mystery, which could've involved nearly all the same characters. Then again, Andy was connected to Holly and Barbara. At some point, they could've been reintroduced. And recasting Landon was bound to be difficult.

What did GL submit the year that ATWT won for Angel's rape storyline? Does anyone remember?
