ITA with that. Ingo might have a right be be ticked since it appears he and JFP had an agreement that he would return periodically and FV put a kibosh on it but based on his final visit where he lurked for weeks I'm not sure if there would have been much value anyway

I've seen some comments at DC praising the show for continuing the Franco story, and how brilliant it is to tie this to history, and so on. I guess some may see it as brave. I see it as lazy writing, just avoiding moving characters or story forward. Paternity stalls are a good way to not have to actually write, and Ron loved that at OLTL.

That's how he went out? I'm not sure if that's any better than the exit that I witnessed (him leaving the country with Brenda after Sonny/Slagbeast framed him so that he could lose custody of his only child).

Either way, IR needs to be mad at Frons for not only firing his ass (after years of underutilizing him and only bringing his character out to be Slagbeast's chew toy) and at JFP for promising something that she couldn't deliver (as I don't believe for one second that she hadn't a clue that her time with ABC was coming to an end even then), instead of whining about it on Twitter.

so it was better watching him come back, lurk around town, kidnap Josselyn (and hand her over to Carly's criminal/body guard), give Sonny a "reason" to try and kill him, fake his deah and overall be written as some desperate pathetic loser? They were reaching AJ territory with the direction they were going with Jax. Him leaving with Brenda would have been best for him had that been his last story instead of the crap they did with him in the summer

I was never a Nik fan but I thought his original exit was decent not great with his farewells to "Emily" Liz and Lucky. The missing pieces were Alexis and Lulu so they had him come back to hook up with Lulu at Cassadine Island when she was searching for Luke and he proceeded to say how much he hated the Spencers, Lucky, and regretted saving Lulus life and then left.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
