Members y&r_fan Posted May 22, 2013 Members Share Posted May 22, 2013 People on other boards are having a great time slinging accusations at JFP over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 22, 2013 Members Share Posted May 22, 2013 This is Sony, not JFP, I'm guessing. JFP had the guts to address it, which MAB would likely not, but Sony are probably the ones calling the shots here. For years Phyllis was popular enough to warrant all the controversy. Things change. And this industry is far less supportive of controversial women than they are men, especially once they hit 40, 45. I think Stafford could carve out a decent primetime guest career if she plays her cards right. Phyllis was just damaging for everyone involved at this point. I only wish that the show would be as willing to get rid of others, some of whom are just huge wastes of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted May 22, 2013 Members Share Posted May 22, 2013 First, drinks on the house for all parties instrumental in Stafford's departure. I am still part-tying! Second, it was likely a combo of JFP and Sony. Under JFP, at her age, Stafford was never going to be a leading lady and the pairing with JM was not happening. JFP mentioned Sony's budget cut demands when she and JG came on so no doubt Sony was more than happy to get rid of Stafford's high salary when the opportunity arose. I fully expect that Sharon Case will be the next woman to feel the squeeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted May 22, 2013 Members Share Posted May 22, 2013 Trying to get a band together on Twitter for the celebration. No takers just yet. I'll keep at it. As for Sharon Case? I've wanted nothing more but the death of that character the moment she began lusting after her child's kidnapper! Filth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 22, 2013 Members Share Posted May 22, 2013 I think dumping Sharon Case would be very, very stupid. Any half-sane soap (out West, at least) could and would snap her up. I'm not entirely sure there are any left that are half-sane for long enough to make that happen. I'm sure GH is looking for a 49th contract cast member, though. Just keep cutting Genie Francis's guarantee, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 22, 2013 Members Share Posted May 22, 2013 Sharon basically became a mattress 3-4 years ago and nothing seems to have changed this. GH already has several women who fill this role, who don't seem to have died inside the way Case has in recent years, so I don't see that happening. I doubt she's going anywhere, as she is still heavy in story and is generally known as a team player, aside from all the Shadam cheerleading.

Members Ann_SS Posted May 22, 2013 Members Share Posted May 22, 2013 But I noticed that Sharon has been pushed to the outside of the pentangle. She is no longer interacting with Dylan who like Adam is focused on Chelsea, while Avery and Nick look on jealously. So where is Sharon's love interest in all of this? Of course, this can always change as Dylan and/or Nick will need somewhere to land once Avery decides between them. However, Case's contract demands will likely decide her fate.

Members y&r_fan Posted May 22, 2013 Members Share Posted May 22, 2013 Honestly, I am horrified that Angelica McDaniel would allow this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 22, 2013 Members Share Posted May 22, 2013 If Morrow is saying that Sharon/Nick are endgame that may be where they go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted May 22, 2013 Members Share Posted May 22, 2013 Wonder what MS' guarantee was reduced to? One eppy/week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 22, 2013 Members Share Posted May 22, 2013 Really? Horrified? Really? Let's review: Did they let Michelle Stafford walk, or did they, I don't know, reanimate Jeanne Cooper's remains and make them play scenes as Katherine?

Members Darn Posted May 22, 2013 Members Share Posted May 22, 2013 If MS weren't so hung up on her high school fantasy of screwing the quarterback (Josh Morrow) maybe she wouldn't have been so ready to leave. Her obsession with a pairing that was never anything more than sex is just bewildering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
