Members te. Posted June 7, 2017 Members Share Posted June 7, 2017 I still can't believe that some people buy into this whole "I choose to quit" - if anything it's a case of jumping before getting pushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted June 7, 2017 Members Share Posted June 7, 2017 There were a few articles in the tabloids at wintertime about Barbara's health, with lots of talk of how frail she's become. As you rightly point out, she hasn't been seen in public in about a year. Prior to that she had been very out and about at events and appearances on ABC News. It seems to me that it's likely she's either suffered a health setback of some sort or has become increasingly frail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RavenWhitney Posted June 7, 2017 Members Share Posted June 7, 2017 I actually think, in this case, it was entirely her decision. Maybe she took a lesson from the producers of MASH...LOL go out voluntarily to end it all on a positive note. It's very healthy thing to do. Someone on twitter today accused her of getting fired and she openly disputed it; so I don't think she would lie about it. I met her once in a soap writing class and she was so genuine. Love her politics too. You can criticize her creativity but it's not fair to attack her character..unless her name is Dena Higley. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted June 7, 2017 Members Share Posted June 7, 2017 Why would she admit on Twitter if she were fired anyway, she'd be going against what was agreed upon if she exited gracefully? Of course she'd lie about it. I just know how Disney/ABC operates. But if it was on her own accord, good for her. Sounds like she has a lot of things she wants to do and spend time with her daughter. I wish her the best personally. I'm glad she's out of the soap writing business though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted June 7, 2017 Members Share Posted June 7, 2017 It's a classic business move though - she would hardly be the first to claim that she exited on her own terms but usually it's a case of "you can't fire me, I quit". I looks far better on her resume that she retired from soap opera writing, but it wouldn't surprise me if she eventually returns to it if soaps still exist in a few years time.

Members dragonflies Posted June 7, 2017 Author Members Share Posted June 7, 2017 She also could be saving face, no one wants to admit they were fired, I especially can't see her admitting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 7, 2017 Members Share Posted June 7, 2017 Yep. You know, I don't much care whether Jean jumped or was pushed. She's gone. That's all that matters to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted June 7, 2017 Members Share Posted June 7, 2017 No no Jean P quit and is retiring. If she would have been fired so would Shelly. Hearing Shelly will definitely be staying on board. James Patrick Stuart @japastu·55m I remain in awe of what you've done, and now, is in front of you. If I've never said it... you're brilliant. @PFossi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JONNYSBRO Posted June 7, 2017 Members Share Posted June 7, 2017 I think Jean P holds the record of any daytime head writer for writing the most soaps in daytime. She has been head writer of six soaps. Her shortest stint was YR which was a year. Her longest was ATWT where she was co head writer and head writer for almost a decade. Do u all think.Jean is considered a legend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
