Members Khan Posted March 9, 2017 Members Share Posted March 9, 2017 Another one of my faves is leaving this industry -- but, as several have said already, she's leaving on her own terms, and I applaud her for it. Here's to a well-deserved retirement, Jane Elliot. GH, and daytime, won't be the same without you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 9, 2017 Members Share Posted March 9, 2017 Isnt she like 30 years too old to be Diane? Maybe Diane's mother... How does one go from an actres thats 53 to 83? Thats a significant gap and Diane isnt a senior citizen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted March 9, 2017 Members Share Posted March 9, 2017 Not really. Y&R de-aged Diane when they recast the character with Susan Walters (54) & Maura West (45) but Original Diane Alex Donnelly will be 58 this year which isn't that far off from JE who just turned 70 (but who could pass for early 60's).

Members GregNYC Posted March 9, 2017 Members Share Posted March 9, 2017 She said she hated that no writer tied in her The City storylines. FV must be thrilled he has more money to spend on OLTL/AMC characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted March 9, 2017 Members Share Posted March 9, 2017 Frank is over the moon and more than likely had her exit semi written when she mentioned retiring last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Graham Posted March 9, 2017 Members Share Posted March 9, 2017 I agree with Khan. I'm glad she is leaving on her own terms. Hope she gets a juicy last episode (oh, who am I kidding?) Enjoy your retirement, Jane. Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ponds Posted March 10, 2017 Members Share Posted March 10, 2017 I don't blame her for getting out....she has to be incensed at the direction GH has gone in the past years. Get out while the gettins good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dave_01 Posted March 11, 2017 Members Share Posted March 11, 2017 Good for Jane getting to leave when she's ready and not getting forced out, but I will really miss her. Even as the nicer, more mellow Tracy of the last year or so, Jane's presence was always welcome. You knew that she could make even a poorly written scene worth watching. Fingers crossed that Tracy's exit doesn't involve plans to chase after Luke. If his health is good enough, I'd love a Stuart Damon guest appearance before Jane leaves, where Tracy has one final scene with Ghost Alan. Those 2 actors always worked so well together.

Members DRW50 Posted March 11, 2017 Members Share Posted March 11, 2017 At this point it wouldn't really have any meaning because no one is there to react, other than pop-ins from Ned and I guess that Ken doll son of hers is still around. I'd rather she just leave in style, realizing nothing is left for her and she can finally stand on her own now that her family is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted March 11, 2017 Members Share Posted March 11, 2017 That's all I want for Tracy. I know she isn't the nicest person, but after all the [!@#$%^&*] that has rained down on her in her life--whether she caused it or not--I want her to leave with a little hope for her future.

Members DRW50 Posted March 11, 2017 Members Share Posted March 11, 2017 I mostly just want one final scene with Monica, and then one where she looks at a photo of Lila and Edward (I'd prefer John Lewis but John Ingle is fine too) and says something like, "Goodbye Mommy. Goodbye Daddy." and then quietly leaves, with one last look back at the Q living room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted March 11, 2017 Members Share Posted March 11, 2017 She needs to say goodbye to her brother, too! If Stuart Damon is too ill to return as Alan's spirit, she should at least look at his photo, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 11, 2017 Members Share Posted March 11, 2017 True. I guess for me her relationships with her parents were what defined Tracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted March 11, 2017 Members Share Posted March 11, 2017 I just suggested that killing her off might be best as Jane won't return most likely anyways. Might as well finish off the Qs. But I'd be content with her leaving in style and jet-setting the world as long as they don't have her chasing off after Luke (as aforementioned) and later reuniting with him. Just no.

Members frequentsoapfan Posted March 11, 2017 Members Share Posted March 11, 2017 Exactly I read that post like "Since when would she be a good fit for Diane?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
