He was fired after his stint at the Emmy's where ET was filming as he was running up and down the aisles of an airplane.

I don't know if it constitutes as worst, but one of the dumbest was Gloria Monty firing Finola Hughes and recasting her because she got another job, when Finola was willing to stay on the 2 extra months to finish out her story.

If I remember correctly, Maeve Kinkead (while technically not "fired") was off-screen for quite sometime when Rauch came to GL.  She stated her intention of letting her hair gray naturally and Raunch wanted her to keep dying it.

 

Either she was placed on recurring or they rested Vanessa for a while.  But when she did return, her hair was not dyed.

Maeve left GL when Michael Laibson was executive producer in 1996, though she continued to recur on occasion. When Rauch arrived, Maeve returned on a contract basis in 1997 but left again in the summer of 2000. She returned in 2002 for Josh and Reva's latest wedding and was no longer dying her hair.

No wonder the daytime drama genre has such bad Karma!  Look at all the harsh, petty and inhumane treatment they've meted out to their talent over the years!

 

I also happen to think the industry as a whole has indulged in a lot of piss poor decision-making that has landed it in the position it occupies today (virtual irrelevance).

    • I am blown away that Christie Clark is 51, and she debuted 39 years ago. They gave her a lovely script today.  But, I could not think of any other examples in culture of someone able to jump right back into the skin of a character, after virtually retiring from acting years ago. I was trying to recall if Carrie left for a bit with Anna after Roman died (because she wasn't at Bo & Hope's wedding), and then returned as a pre-teen Christie?  Or if she was just SORASed off-screen?  But, whenever I see the character I am reminded how much more trauma she's endured than Sami, and yet she remains such a nice person.
    • Weirdly I feel like Nina was the most sus about the entire situation.  Normally I would have given this one to Carly, but Nina was always kind of trying to make it make sense. I think Nina (and Alexis) are actually really smart characters.  They just constantly get in their own way with dumb plans lol.
    • Rewatching some of 1991 I had to appreciate what a strong week March 5-12 1991 was. Cassandra dies, Nina shoots David, Sheila switces the babies, and drunk Nikki all occurring simultaneously. 1991 and 92 were pretty strong overall.
    • Still loving all the Gio fallout, but the scenes that really surprised me this episode were the ones with Nina and Maxie. I was not expecting Nina to be the one to put together all the pieces about Sasha's baby daddy. This custody hearing is about to get explosive!
    • I really hope after the secret comes out their interactions don't stop
    • BAHAHA  I needed that laugh today. Talk about one note.  I would put Derek and Ashley a notch above Dani. Dani's scenes are basically rinse, lather, and repeat for 60 episodes and counting.  It's as if she was transported from the soap opera Passions onto this soap.  MVJ should put aside her friendship/admiration for Karla and look at the fact that this character isn't wroking as written.
    • Agreed.  It doesn't feel in character at all.
    • You could always tell whenever Douglas Marland enjoyed writing for a particular actor, because he'd pull out all the stops for them; and Julianne Moore was no exception.
    • I'm sorry, but I just can't get past the fact that it was Lois, of all people, who deceived so many people.  No matter how hard Rena Sofer tries to justify Lois' actions - and boy, does she work hard! - it just isn't something Lois would've done.
    • Honestly, Olivia had kind of a good reason to keep her son safe from a mobster for two decades.  Sonny literally shot Dante in the chest lol and had multiple family members die, get injured, threatened, kidnapped, etc, etc.   I know you don't watch the show very often, but it's not like Olivia should have shown up and given Sonny and his 18-year-old girlfriend Brenda shared custody of a kid.  That would have been a horrible, life threatening idea.
