Did u see her as Nikki was she good?

Yep.

She was solid.

Yep.

She was solid.

Why did they replace her?

I saw her on Match Game Reruns. Erica seemed like a cool girl

Bill wanted to revamp the character.

I didnt watch then. Revamp 2 what a stripper?

No. He just wanted to further build character & chose to recast.

All the Heather Webbers on GH quit

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.

Both Quit. They waited a bit to bring Robin In after Mary left

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

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?

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

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.
