Frons and Guza led to BH's firing. Insiders say she was told this recently and had no idea about it, MCE well I hope she left voluntarily like she posted on her site. Hey Rebecca tried spreading her wings and we got her back.

I wish MCE so much luck, but it does hurt and selfishly I'm hoping for a return and reuniting of Annie & JR one day. Hell Rylee got it. dry.gif

I could buy Marissa being bi! Marissa needs a storyline that doesn't involve demonizing the Chandlers and Binks will need some post-Reese coochie. Perfect!

As much I adore MCE they could recast Annie. For me, except absolute legacy characters(Erica for ex.) anyone can be recast.

Of course she quit--she did her dues, she ran her contract and a bit more, and like any young successful soap star in her shoes wants to try for primetime or movies, or whatever. I dunno, call me a Pollyana, but I hate how everyone thinks all these *typical normal* exits mean "more". When Debbi Morgan was taking her break half the people here seemed to think it was a sign she was fleeing a troubled ship, or the execs were cutting expensive vets--maybe her lyme disease is part of the hoax? Some keep going on about how the show is obviously trying to use Erica less and less so they can dump expensive Lucci--never mind that she's been on more this past year than many of the ones before that. Soaps, and particularly AMC are in troubled water *no doubt* but I kinda am sick of all the paranoia. :P

I'm just mad they wasted over a year of MCE's talent as goody goody boring Annie that no one could care two cents for.

You are a Pollyanna. :P

I kind of agree with you. I have no doubt this was MCE's decision. I've always said that actors can only do soaps for 4-6 years, then they have to leave otherwise they become known as "soap actors" and the rest of the industry writes them off. She's been auditioning and has gotten some outside work so leaving the showis the next logical step. If AMC were still in NY, that would be one thing but does anyone believe these actors uprooted their lives and changed coasts for this show? No, they did it because it was better for their careers in the long view.

But I don't think you can overlook the recent exodus of young actors calling it quits: Kane, Wittrock now Egan. It's no different than in "real" workplaces. People see that the company is in trouble and start looking for their next option. The young, smart ones never stop. The ratings, the repeats, the firings...you can't ignore that stuff.

I'm willing to bet that for all the actors pounding the pavement, half the crew is papering the town with resumes too. Let me put it this way, if you were working for AMC, wouldn't you be job hunting?

      I saw a conversation yesterday with Liam with the 7 dwarves hat and Steffy -  I know she did not say re: Hope and Liam said - well look at Finn and you forgave him right?      I know I did not hear Steffy say “well but you can’t compare that to…”  For *uck sake someone call the bitch out!?     You’re right, we shouldn’t compare your forgiveness for the dude with devil spawn seed whose daughter locked you in a cage along with crazy stepmom/mom/Grandmother who has also SHOT YOU BOTH - and multiple murder attempts but you have to exist with them / Hope’s part in a takeover which you know was FAR LESS THAN CARTER BECAUSE HOPE IS NOT AN ATTORNEY…. Goodness no, no the same thing at alllllllll.   When they do Steffy’s absence at least let it be because they all find out what a manipulative ho she is in her own right.

      I think a lot of us still agree with that. I do hope that the resurgence in the soap world with Beyond the Gates will push ABC to either bring back these shows or produce a newer one.

      So, this was fun. Elsewhere, friendly to polls, a poll on what do you want to see at the Nurses Ball. The Gio reveal got 18%, for Blaze to return & sing also got 18%, for Jennifer Hudson to do a cameo & sing got 10% and for Lucy to lose various parts of clothing got 9% but the huge one was the reveal of Drew/Nina sex which got a whopping 45%!

        I liked the effect of the curtains closing. Yeah it was like the end of Act I.   Or maybe they are simply trying to emphasize the drama of the end of an episode -- instead of a random abrupt end that has happened in some prior episodes.

      I posted this in the behind the scenes thread but I know this thread is busier so wanted to mention it here as well. During their instagram live yesterday, Daphnee Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant mentioned that they will find out this month if the show is renewed for another season. Just a heads up so we can keep an eye out for an announcement and keep our fingers crossed for a multi-year renewal!

      They haven't explained the ownership of the Bistro, but Doug told Holly the other day he didn't get the job there. Basically Roman just hired Doug on the spot and gave him a room.  It was really nice of Roman.  I don't know if he knows who Doug is or that he stole Julie's necklace.  That was unclear-at least to me.

      I'm not sure how I felt about it, but I do kind of like that it felt like the show telling us this concludes the first chapter of the series. Could be interesting if they only do it for big aftermath episodes. The biggest mistake with Martin is that it's almost hard to buy his anger because we've gotten no strong scenes with him and his parents. They've all been with Anita/Vernon. I can't even remember him ever even saying one word to Nicole, even in passing.

        Thank you! Agreed on both posts. And the comments about Mike Manning are nonsense.

      I haven't watched yet, but did they explain the current ownership of The Bistro?  Because when RonC was writing, wasn't he applying for work with Sophia?

      I think Brandon has gotten better in normal day to day scenes, but he’s very over the top when the character is meant to be angry or agitated. I did laugh when she started yelling at Leslie and then when he started to throw all those damn books, lol. He needs an acting coach to work out some of these kinks.
