She left. She thought it was too much work.

She also knew LML was coming...JVA HATES LML.

Joan Van Ark brought something special to the show, Judith Chapman just seems redundant IMO. JVA is a perfectionist and strived to create something different and I think she succeeded. I believed her relationship with her sons and the backstory as well. Even with the plastic surgery, you could buy that Gloria was vain enough to spend her pennies on it or find a man who would. I also believed her living in a dump in Detroit and working a crap job. I never got that with Chapman. She was good for a very short while, but has long been over. I find her amusing at times, but what is the point?

She has some over the top acting tics (plus that gulping BUG EYES) which are only outperformed by THE STAFFORD © and Mr. Shiny Teeth.

But the hate mostly comes from the writing: Glo was on EVERY fricking day from 2006 till headmistress LML was carted off to hell. She has never really paid for her crimes and is just obnoxious. End of story.

I tend to like her on a lowkey basis but so far every writer has failed to make sth. out of the character - since Joan Van Ark left - or at least Chapman's version isn't working.

I think she chews scenery with the Sunset Blvd style of acting but basically I would agree it was her screen time I just got nauseous when she came on the screen after awhile of it. Also them dismantling the Abbotts and putting the Fishers as a core didn't help matters for me. Basically I just got sick of her. I liked Joan Van Ark's version of Gloria (as I like Russo's version of Tucker McCall) she just never stuck with me.

The show or her face?
