Members Joe Posted March 4, 2006 Members Share Posted March 4, 2006 I can't recall where, but I thought I read somewhere Mickey would remain in Salem, but only off screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted March 4, 2006 Members Share Posted March 4, 2006 I think most of us realize that all people (young and old) like to see a diversity in storylines across the ages, but the people that count evidently don't. Even the characters who should be in their 60's are constantly deaged to I guess make them more appealing to the audience. Suzanne Rogers has been horribly underused since about 1979 on the show. She won the Supporting Actress award that year for her alcoholism storyline. She stayed on the backburner for a few years and then had the romance with Don Craig. After that she was carted out occassionally but didn't really have another story until the affair with Dr. Neil Curtis. Then once again back to the backburner for many years until she was killed by the stalker and came back to life on the Island. Since she and Mickey reunited back to the background again. I know they interviewed her once and she called what happened to her the curse of the Supporting Actress trophy. The first 2 winners of the Supporting Actress award started the curse that was later broken. Suzanne Rogers (the 1st winner) went to the backburner, and the 2nd winner (Francesca James) lost her job not too long after winning. The 3rd winner Jane Elliot finally broke the curse, even though even she was horribly used by GH for awhile, left and later came back. If Mickey's death would create a story for her, it would be consolation but my biggest fear is that Mickey would die and Rogers would still be grossly underused.

Members Keith Posted March 4, 2006 Members Share Posted March 4, 2006 It is But a necessary one, I think. Maggie needs a story on her own, and the current circumstances really help that. If they don't write him off, I think her own screetime with decrease and that's the last thing I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sb84fan Posted March 4, 2006 Members Share Posted March 4, 2006 I think Days should bring Jed Allan back as Mickey!!! Then Marlena can be strangely drawn to him. (Why does he remind me of Don Craig??). Like this hasn't been done before. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
