Meh. So I guess the whitewashing of Sonny's crime is going to begin real soon. :rolleyes:

By next year, Michael will embracing and forgiving his fraudulent father for killing his birth father.

So sick of Sonny....

Oh please. Maurice is one of the few that would've found work elsewhere. Betcha DAYS, B&B, and especially Y&R (with Jill and Pratt) would've made him nice offers to come over there. Jill would clean the whole damn canvas and have a major cast exodus (a much needed one) to make room for Maurice.

Soaps don't pay as much as these stars luxurious lifestyles. Living in California is very expensive. A 2 bedroom house in Los Angeles can be over 1 million. He needs the job he's not someone who has excess cash and without the job and the cost of Los Angeles u can get broke fast. Now Julia Roberts she semi retired from movies and is very picky she's worth over a 100 million now she can retire lol. Jill could find a role for him she loves Maurice but the canvas is very full right now.

Unless he is a fool he has plenty of money for an actor in daytime. He was the highest paid GH star for a good decade. During Guza he worked well over his gaurentee and the show kept him on the front burner all the time. I can imagine he will stay until his kids are done with any expensive schooling and he is ready to go. I'm certain he makes less because he is onscreen less than during previous regimes.

Geary is also paid very well, but his dollar amount hasn't really gone up, he just gets to keep his money and work much less.

O.M.G.

But I agree with everyone who says GH is a black hole with or without him. He has drained this show of life for years. I can't stand his acting tics, although I think maybe some (some but not nearly all) of my intense dislike comes from my loathing of Sonny and how it feels like we've never gone a day without him.

I admit when I first saw the topic, I totally read it the other way! Wishful thinking or me being a ditz as usual? Little bit of both!

I said this before on another topic about Sonny. I loved him after the terrible stripper story ended. But he was a compelling actor then. Plus his scenes were with Luke, Laura, Lucky, Robin, Stone, and Brenda. And he was just a flunky. His mob story back then had real risks for him and his friends.

When he is surrounded by compelling characters and decent actors, I can tolerate him. But the last few years have isolated him and placed Sonny in terrible stories. I would not miss him at all if he was gone. Brenda couldn't make me care about him again, and God help me, I still love Vanessa Marcil.

    • If NBC could have for seen the ratings of Lovers & Friends (the replacement for Somerset).. they would have for sure kept Somerset on the air longer. https://jason47.com/days/ratings1976.html  (ratings for Somerset in the final year) https://jason47.com/days/ratings1977.html (ratings for Lovers & Friends short run...getting as low as a 2 rating).

    • I liked them, too, and was really disappointed it never went anywhere. The whole art theft story was ridiculous, but they had a nice chemistry. Certainly nicer than Alan with Christine. With her, he looked like the funny uncle. The worst thing they did to Bolger, IMO, was having Phillip write that DREADFUL novel and dramatizing it while he wrote it. GAG, that has to be in the running for one of their worst storylines that didn't involve wacky things like clones or time travel. Soaps rarely do school storylines, or don't do them for very long. Not the case so much in the early days of soaps, but after GH took off in the late 70s other soaps took their lead and would catapult teens/young adults into adult stories right away. That's one reason Phillip and Mindy ended up with so many ex-spouses--they started getting married really young. They shipped Dina and Cameron off really fast after high school and stuck Alan Michael in a marriage storyline with Harley. Did he EVER go to college? I don't think so. It may also partly explain why Quint and Annabelle had to go, beyond TPTB wanting to do a cast sweep. Teaching is not a profession that plays well on a soap. Quint definitely had to quit being Indiana Jones, because that wore thin really fast, but they didn't do him favors by making him a professor. If they wanted to keep him, they should have done what they did with Amanda (who was in another dead-end soap job, concert pianist)--have him work at Spaulding as one of the major stockholders.
    • Judith McConnell (Augusta) and Denise Alexander (Lesley) were great screen partners on GH.  They got into some stellar arguments in character in the medicine room.
    • He also commented that Brad knows that fans are sick of the constant fake deaths on this show: Finn, Sheila, etc and that it's hard to take this seriously if it's another fake death

    • I just don't think Brad Bell has it in him to actually kill off Liam. He should have killed off Eric when he had the chance. I know John McCook is an original cast member, but Eric is even more useless than Liam. Eric should have died and then it would be revealed that he died without a valid will, so Donna, as his wife, inherits everything, including his shares in Forrester Creations.
    • I think we all will, isn't that how soaps work? lol    
    • ^^ I'll believe it when it actually happens.
