Kimberly McCullough isn't working without contract - Her contract does not expire until April. That's why she vocalized that she was surprised they moved Robin's "death" up until February, because she had thought it would come in April.

I've heard the same argument made about Georgie (who I actually preferred to Emily, because she was a good girl that wasn't saccharine) - another person who was killed off because that self-hating tool JFP didn't think their was 'valuable' (read: hot enough) to keep around. Both characters surely did leave a void because, as you've said, most of the people on this show are unlikable.

While that works for some, sitting through an hour of pathetic idiots, shrill banshees, and hateful assholes simply isn't entertaining for me.

This article and KA's quote were brought to Kassie's attention

http://i43.tinypic.com/2cgy78n.jpg

She said the following

"Thanks Ms. Linda... I'm in one of those moods today too. The Soaps in-Depth article was brought to my attention and of course I'm left to clear things up… NO one asked me about a General Hospital contract. I have never been approached by General Hospital for a long-term contract. I have so many wonderful fans that are fighting for me to get a contract on that show and I know that they feel I have let them down by saying that I didn't want one ... Well that is just not true. I wish Soaps in Depth had asked me personally instead of asking Kristen to speak for me. I hope this clears things up for you!"

KDP for all of the flack she is getting for being a One Lifer gave me a brief sense of this when she was on for a day or so with her scenes concerning Starr and opposite Micheal. You really got a sense that there was a real mother there who cared about her child and what she would be going threw. I can't really remember a time when I felt a GH actor responding sympathetically to a situation with real love and undying care for another person. It's sad but quite true on this show. These characters feel a lot of the time like they have no souls. Even with a death hanging over their head it feels like a lot of it is lip serviced and obligatory going threw the motions. It's not real. The characters are in their own space and can't really connect with each other. It's that narcissism that completely takes any sense of heart out of the show for me.

Even Courtney as oblivious as she was most of the time seemed like a good enough person who would care enough about how other people felt and responded to them more often then not from what I recall. I know people didn't like her but I also think she was another heroine-like character who at times cared about other people and was effected by other peoples problems or plights.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse
