All- Characters that fizzled

I refuse to acknowledge that Skye Chandler is her daughter. It became a convoluted mess and then roped in the Quartermaines. She was a legacy character whose backstory was retconned to the pits just to prop up Rae. Good to know that this story was actually panned in real time.
Michael Easton and all his non-John McBain characters were flops on GH. And yet we were stuck with one version after another. An honorable mention to Violet. Little Robin Scorpio, you were not.
Roger Howarth as the long lost Quartermaine that went nowhere.

I was supposed to be the TMK. Bob Guza said I had the best motivation to kill those people, as I hated every single character on the show at that time. Alas, contract negotiations fell through.

I think if they brought Skye back with another retcon people wouldn't even care (although I doubt we will see her again).
I do love Linda Dano, but it never made a great deal of sense to have her doing a year-long tour of four different soaps. She was not important to most ABC soap fans. Her time on ABC soaps had amounted to a few years in a part no one remembered. It would have been like having Victoria Wyndham terrifying the CBS lineup for a year because of her turn as Charlotte Bauer (admittedly I would have enjoyed that).

Lol. I remember IS on Mo's show saying GH randomly called him saying we haven't revealed the killer yet so are you available? That would lead me to believe it wasn't the first instinct to go with Diego, a fairly unmemorable dead character.

Trying to stretch one lousy retcon over three separate shows was madness and made the story itself more convoluted than it needed to be. At this point, I'm not even sure that Skye is actually Rae's daughter. That's how confused I am about the whole damn thing, lol.

I think Sarah did well with what she was given as Claudia, which fluctuated wildly. One week Claudia would be an irredeemable villain, the next she would be having goofy chemistry test comic follies with Jason and Spinelli, or sexing it up with Nikolas, Ric, etc. Then she'd be trying to make her marriage to Sonny real. It was all over the map and annoying. But had they locked in (and had she not allegedly clashed with the creative team) I think she could've lasted longer. She worked hard and made a real impression as the character; Claudia is still remembered, unlike most latter-day rivals to Sonny and Jason.
Still, I would've always disposed of Claudia in short order to bring Sarah back as Carly. I still would. I had no idea until recently they allegedly tried to get her back in the role for at least a short period when Tamara quit in '05.
Tom Pelphrey's ATWT character is definitely in the Hall of Fame, but Rae may be the queen. Both mortifying. And poor Melissa Archer.

Gina was on some sort of apology tour over missing Stone's death and then started working at Luke's and kinda flirting with Jason. I feel like it may have been an attempt to keep Stone's memory alive since KMc was only popping in occasionally while she was off at school. And I think they might have been very softly testing her with Jason.
Yeah, the show dumped Christie, Patrick, SJB, and Matt Ashford all on the same day lol.
Idk. I think the actress was more of an issue than the writing. The show probably tested her with Ingo when she got hired, but they should have tested her with Vanessa Marcil instead. Brenda would eat Miranda alive in every scene so she never felt like a viable threat. RC dropped a lot of balls, but I don't think there much to save with such a weepy, weak willed character. I wouldn't have been against them recasting Miranda, rebooting the character, and giving her harder edges due to her trauma post-Brenda a few years down the line.

The chemistry between Sarah Joy Brown and Eric Martsolf was immediate. They worked exceptionally well together, but between the introduction of Ian Buchanan and the unfortunate writing change from Marlene McPherson and Darrell Ray Thomas, Jnr (a strong writing team that did well to just retool the canvas after years of abuse by Dena Higley) to Gary Tomlin and Christopher Whitesell, it was beyond unfortunate that Brown's Madison fell victim to the regime change.
