Aside from the first year or so after the rape story, I have never liked Liz. For a while I actually hated her.

I still don't really understand this decision.

Liz gets people talking. She's a very polarizing character. She gets attention. And that's something which GH is lacking right now. Many faces, including hugely hyped returns like Brenda's, have just resulted in apathy.

Is this because the golden boy's return really hasn't been all that fantastic, and has only put a big red flag on just how useless Lucky is as a character, and they don't want Liz around because she's a reminder of when JJ did more than just cry/talk about how great Jason is/get an earful from the Irish cipher? Or because they continue to have no idea what to do with Nik, and are now reduced to having a date rapist bimbo like Brook Lyn as moral arbiter?

The show isn't exactly full of great female characters at the moment, and most of them seem to be wandering around aimlessly. Even poor Lisa Lo, who is a very good actress, only got material when it was time for a daylong coma from a bus crash. Brianna Brown is completely in over her head with whatever they have made Lisa. They gave up on writing for Robin. Lulu is irrelevant. Maxie is an earache. Brenda is sleep-inducing. Alexis is just there. Kristina has no story. Sam is just Jason's appendage.

So you're left with Carly, who is just a clomping plot device, Jason Jr. and the 40 year old stripper, and Tracy, who I love but who never has any storyline.

I'm going to go with the the golden boy return being an epic failure and the fact that the don't want to make Jason an hypocrite for having another kid while ignoring the one he already has.

Sad sad news. Jason and Liz were the only reason GH was worth watching for a while. Frons and Guza can eat [!@#$%^&*] and die as far as I'm concerned.

But I do agree, I'd rather her go on to bigger and much much better things. I think she's a great actress and could move on to primetime easily if she wanted to.

Oh I forgot about the stuff with Jason and Jake. You're right. Jake will probably cease to exist after he leaves with Liz. Goodness knows Lucky doesn't even remember he once had children...but then according to Luke, they weren't really Lucky's kids anyway.

Bring Becky Herbst to AMC as a long lost Smythe named Redlee!! ....;-) I could see both Becky's passing off as sisters!! I would love it if Mary Smythe came back and with a huge secret like that ;-D. Or they don't have to be sisters, they could be cousins or something. Wishful thinking/casting ;P!!

I actually thought of her being a Greenlee cousin. The show however is too female heavy. They have way too many in that age range (late 20s-late 30s). Im not sure another is needed at this time

But if she was brought on as a Marissa recast, that could work

I like the new girl; she works. I dont think she needs to be axxed to bring on Rebecca in the role, especially since I think she's too beautiful. Marissa is supposed to be a bit more on the bland side. I'd take her on Days. How about Sarah Horton? I know many people have been asking for this character to come back and Becky fits the right age.

Days would be great but I never felt Becky worked as a goody goody character and wasn't that Sarah. I actually think she'd be a great Heather on Y&R. Heather who was always a little bit of a vamp. ER is more the traditional heroine type and the role just doesn't work for her. Becky on the other hand I think would be great. She's always been more enjoyable to watch this way versus attempts to make her a saint/goodgirl.

As far as Marissa, I dont advocate replacing actors just because a more well known or popular actress is available unless TPTB are already looking to recast because whoever is in the role just isn;t working. I doubt Y&R would replace ER now even if they knew her Heather wasn't working due to her pregnancy.

that's funny. You should ask her why she was following you in the first place if she was not interested in your opinions.

I'd love her as Sarah Horton.

HAHAHAHAHAHA, what a bitch! She's such a joke.

Seriously, I don't even watch GH and Herbst's firing offends me more than any of the firings that have occurred on my soaps since I started watching 8 years ago (though I will never get over the horrendous mistreatment of Daphnee Duplaix on OLTL but I digress). It's honestly repulsive. I think it's really hitting me because she has a brand new baby.

Sarah hasnt been seen in 20 years (1991). I dont think one can say if she is a goody goody bc alot can change in 2 decades. I think she'd pretty much be a blank slate for any writer that wanted to bring her own and essentially would be approached like a new character with existing ties

I'm surprised. I thought that the Lucky/Liz reunion and Aiden's paternity was Guza's big story to tell and he was just biding his time. I wonder who else was fired? GH has so many high paid actors sucking up airtime. I don't know how come it has taken them this long to cull the cast.

Yes I am screaming Sarah Horton!!! Can be a friend to Samantha. Share a past with Rafe or even Justin creating story for Justin & Adrienne. I think Sarah is suppose to be like 30.

So I am guessing this was Dan Kroll's blind item a week or so back?

Basically Cant say I am surprised!
