Members DeeeDee Posted June 12, 2011 Members Share Posted June 12, 2011 No. He just wanted to further build character & chose to recast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted June 12, 2011 Members Share Posted June 12, 2011 Are you sure about that. I thought that Georganne LaPierre was so terrible that she was fired and that Mary O'Brien's departure was storyline-dictated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted June 12, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 12, 2011 Both Quit. They waited a bit to bring Robin In after Mary left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted June 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 15, 2011 Georgianne had a one year contract. She wanted new things. Mary had a two year deal and she quit. Im not sure if Robin quit or they figured the role had run its course. Kin Shriner (Scott) had also left again and that was her major story partner All I know is Jeff called and told Heather steve was ill and she went to see him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted June 17, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 Anyone who watched all the Dawns on GH from 88-91 can u share why they had 4 recasts? also did Gerald Hopkins quit or get fired from GH where he played aJ, in 1992?

Members You're Soaking in it Posted June 17, 2011 Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 The Dawn recasts were always the story of wanting to move the character in a different direction. I think the original (Valentine?) was just too green, and the third (Lisa Fuller, now-wife of OLTL's ex-Kevin, Dan Gauthier) was sort of too harsh for the character. They settled on Jennifer Guthrie, but I was surprised about Sharon Case being let go. Yes, Gerald Hopkins was involuntarily replaced with Sean Kanan. Hopkins did a fantastic job playing an emotionally complex, alcoholic AJ - and had this great story with Nikki Langton... The recast was a head-scratcher. Again, TPTB said "moving character in a different direction." The only direction I could see was perhaps a little hunkier / looks like Steve Burton - or someone just really wanted/needed to give Kanan a job at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quartermainefan Posted June 18, 2011 Members Share Posted June 18, 2011 AJ went on to become a boxer, so I could see why Hopkins wouldn't fit into the role. I think it probably was something as simple as they wanted to up the hunk quotient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
