Adrienne Frantz says Aaron Spelling hated her on Sube cause she made fun of his son, Randy. So he recast her role of Tiffany with Jennifer Banko who was on his Pacific Pallisades. Banko & Character, Tiffany didnt last til the end of summer 97

Regarding Finola Hughes and Gloria Monty:

Her Intimate Portrait was recently posted on YouTube, and according to her, the line about enjoying her last scene was actually right before she did the scene--she was actually at the end of her contract and planning to leave GH to do Jack's Place alone already, but GM let her go earlier than planned. Kimberly McCullough mentions how blindsighted everyone was on the set by that, and Tristan Rogers mentioned how they still had to finish the storyline, as Fin was originally going to do.

The story starts at around 9:22:

IDK if this qualifies as a "feud" per se, but Karen Lynn Gorney, the original Tara on AMC, apparently didn't think much of Susan Lucci and publicly said that what she did on the show was camp and not real acting.

Yes, but Karen Lynn Gorney is also the actress that Neve Campbell's coked up character in "54" is based on. Gorney was not at all popular with the fans either. My mother and every other woman of her generation that I've spoken to in my life about 'AMC' all said that they could never understand what Jeff Martin saw in Tara when KLG was playing her. The personality, looks, acting, maturity- all were dreadful.

Jeff Martin? Don't you mean Phil Brent?

I think Karen Lynn Gorney was probably popular for a time - AMC asked her back, and she was part of the show's first real couple, a very popular couple in the early years. She likely outgrew the role, and seemed to become a little odd over time.

Nah BC said GA was def a little difficult to work with in the beginning, but they smoothed it out quickly.

remember in the early time of the 4 Muskateers, they all seem to get along great, even saw them on News programs when they were filing in NY. The last time GA was asked to list his favorite time on GL, the Xmas in NYC was right at the top and he mention JE fondly. Reportedly things went downhill for Judi with regards to her time at GL after she won the EMMY, and also reportedly she didnt get along with VI either as he was a little difficult as well. If GA and JE didnt get along right from the start, you would never know it by their scenes, because they always brung right up til their last scenes when GA left in 84.

Judi has claimed that after she won the Emmy other actors on the show told her she didn't DESERVE her Emmy. I am not making excuses for anyone who said that sort of thing to her, but I would imagine that it can be tough to be an actor, who has worked for years at their craft, watch a teenager come onto the show and win an Emmy after working for 6-8 months. There might be some bitterness over the fact that she was so young, and I believe the following year the Emmys introduced the "Best Ingenue" category in response to that issue of JE being placed as a "supporting" actress when she wasn't supporting, she was a lead-but a younger lead actress. Also perhaps the people who worked with her felt they didn't get the recognition that she did, when they were all part of the same story line, so that might be when things went downhill with GA and or VI. It remains a very vague story, I've never heard real details about what the issues between Judi and GA and VI were, ever.

I agree that you wouldn't know it to watch their scenes together. I, too, have read GA interviews given in the last few years where he mentions the story line with JE as Beth as being among his favorites. I do not remember VI ever saying anything about the alleged animosity between him and Judi either, but it was always referenced in articles written about JE or VI for a few years after they left GL.

Was this after Bill Bell died?

Didn't casting Sean Bridges have something to do with it? IIRC, either KA or ES wanted Christopher Douglas (ex-Dylan, OLTL; ex-Antonio, PAS) for the role, but the other didn't. The one who wanted Douglas got his (or her) way, but the move ended up being a total disaster. KA and ES fell out, and Douglas ended up being replaced with some guy who used to be on ANOTHER WORLD before the role was scrapped altogether.

Yep David Lee Russek replaced CD as Sean. But than CD got on Passions as Antonio. I do remember that was the reason for the fall out

Yep.

But it wasn't a disaster.

However the whole thing DID give Ed more power at least temporarily (until Jack Smith took over).

I do remember that was the reason for the fall out

That wasn't the reason.
