Members soapfan770 Posted August 15, 2011 Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 I was thinking of actors and actresses who have left their respective shows on either messy or bad terms ie. were fired, didn't like storyline or character direction, lots of drama surrounding their exit etc. but later ended up eventually coming back, either if old wounds healed, regime change, cancellation etc. even though they were never expected to return. To start off with: Days-Susan Seaforth Hayes, Joseph Mascolo, Louise Sorel GL-Peter Simon, Maeve Kinkead ATWT-Larry Bryggman, Cady McClain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jcar03 Posted August 15, 2011 Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 DAYS: Melissa Reeves left abruptly in 1995 and was sued for breech of contract. I think they settled out of court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ZoeTate Posted August 15, 2011 Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 A lot of my favorite GL stars could not stand working for Gail Kobe - Chris Bernau, Peter SImon, Grant Alexksaner, Robert Newman all left on their own. She had fired so many of the people I'd loved - Kathleen Cullen, Marcia Clark, Elvera Roussel and brought on those hideous Lewis family members and Shayne family members who were this side of cornprone. The original Lewises - Trish and Josh - were tame compared to the over the top H.B., Billy and Reva. And don't get me started on the Shaynes - Roxie (did Kristi Ferrell have the ugliest mouth in history or is it just me?) I just hated on sight. Anyway when Kobe left,Bernau, Simon, Aleksander and Newman all came back. I didn't think that was coincidence. As for Maeve, leaving with Rauch still there was a no brainer. The fact that he was Kim Zimmer's favorite ep says it all. Just her type. I just finished Zimmer's book and I can admire her candor on a lot of things but her delusional take on GL is priceless. She got the spelling of Maeve Kinkead's name wrong (Kincaid it aint') and shared with readers that Maeve hated Jordan Clarke's lunch of onions. That was not so nice. I get the impression she didn't think too much of Maeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BingCherry Posted August 15, 2011 Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 Jacob Young. Wasn't his initial B&B departure very dramatic in nature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitch Posted August 15, 2011 Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 While I am sure Bunim didnt want her around (she put McLaughlin on recurring and then totally phased him out) as she wanted to "youthify," the show, Wagner left under Fred Bartholemeu who only offered a one day a week garantee. It was Fulton who left under Bunim..and despite the fact that Lisa became a fluttering dunce, Fulton really should have had no complaints, they built an entire family around her.

Members You're Soaking in it Posted August 15, 2011 Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 EDIT: Psst... To the mods (and/or a certain poster!) - There is a spoiler being alluded to in this thread... May want to edit that. I originally responded with some confusion until I found out about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members You're Soaking in it Posted August 15, 2011 Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 He might be on "bad terms" with certain fans, and I'm sure TPTB weren't happy that he went to ATWT, but he's never exactly burned bridges with his bosses at OLTL and ABC.
