*Cue the folks wanting DAYS to cast her as Sarah Horton*

[dragonflies]

Go for it girl! GH doesn't know what they have with you and given the current character assassination Liz is getting they should be offering her the sun and the moon

[Cheap21]

BYE! She should have left years ago. I hope she exits

 

Ill be different and say Cassie Brady! 

[dragonflies]

Nah she shouldn't have. That should NLG or even monotone KeMo. At least Becky makes an effort to act unlike 96% of the GH cast

Liz always gets shat on to prop others like Sam or Jason or Nik or Lucky and this has gone one for over 10 years.

[ChitHappens]

GH is trash, but who didn't see this coming when Liz looks to be headed for a breakdown?

[NothinButAttitude]

Yup! 

 

But as @Cheap21 said, I'll settle for a Cassie recast too. Just let her be a legacy character and not some new, underdeveloped character a la Serena. 

[Juliajms]

Days is going to pay her more than GH? That is so hard to believe. I'll stick with Days until the end, but the production levels are on par with a community theater one act play. They can't even keep what little talent they manage to snag past one contract.

[Cheap21]

which is exactly why the character of Elizabeth should have been retired. She hasnt worked in years and it would have been refreshing to see Becky in a new role instead of this dried up one which has gone nowhere. I dont see how any fan of hers can like whats been done with her the past 5 years. Everything surrounding Liz has been a hot mess of fail

 

 

legacy characters are the only females Days seems to semi be able to get right. Every new female under the age of 40 thats introduced is DOA. Serena, Madison, Paige, Jordan, Lani....Im sure Im missing someone

[Gray Bunny]

Nope. Can't be Sarah Horton.  Rebecca Herbst played an HIV+ girl back on World AIDS Day back in June 1996. And DAYS would *NEVER* recycle an actor for a new role! Never!

Every time she gets into contract negotiations TPTB try to get rid of her, then her fan base goes ham and they end up caving. Frank is known for not giving a damn though (Renee Goldberry, Steve Burton, etc) so we'll see how this goes.

 

If she did go to DOOL I have no doubt they'd make her another straggler love interest for Brady and get rid of her in a year (if they aren't canceled before that)

[Mr. Vixen]

Some suggested she would be a good Mac recast on Y&R and I actually agree. I don't want to see her go to DAYs, but hey as long as she's getting those coins!

[dragonflies]

Becky has always been a team player but when she spoke out against this character destruction I knew something was up. I've never known her to really speak out unless she's truly unhappy.

First JT and now RH? This show DESERVES to lose them. FV has proven he only cares about propping his pets

I dunno YR seems determined to pimp Villy despite AH not having chemistry with any of the Billy's. I don't want Becky anywhere near that

[miche]

GH stay getting rid of Hospital characters, ABC should just pull the plug

[NothinButAttitude]

Well Lani is considered a legacy character now too since she is Abe's illegitimate. Same with Paige too, who was Shane's granddaughter. I think Paige started to become interesting when she became a b-tch in the end; however, they quickly turned her back to being saccharine and then killed her off. But I agree that female legacy characters are the only ones that are done semi right. Stress on semi b/c Theresa is written as a hot ass mess that's been declawed. 

 

I do agree now that Liz should be retired. Poor Liz/Becky Herbst has been in limbo for the past 10+ years. Her stories have been the same--either trapping a man via a lie or having kids. They never give Liz any other type of material. I kind of wanna see Becky take the leap.
