GH Actress Demoted

I would be relieved.  I've been watching since I was about 16 years old. The CBS soaps were really my soaps, but a friend got me into GH.  At this point it's not only a chore to watch, but I feel like I'm allowing TPTB to insult me by tuning in. It's just a bad habit I wish I could break.

I hear you. I was just saying the other day that they have a long history of screwing over female leads. Sarah, Tamara, Vanessa. I wonder if the show had treated Jane Eliot better over the years, if she would still be on the show? The list goes on and on of women who were screwed at contract time while men were accommodated.

I don't get it either, dragonflies.  ESPECIALLY when you look back at GH's history and realize that it has been the women who have pulled the show out of the fire again and again.  Not just Genie/Laura, but Rachel Ames/Audrey and even Denise Alexander when she first joined the show as Lesley.  And of course, let's not forget the show's original heroine, Emily McLaughlin/Jessie, who got treated VERY badly, IMO, when Gloria Monty arrived and Jessie way the hell back to the back burner after being, at one time, the most popular (female) character on the show.  It's just maddening.

 

 

If you'll notice, though, she only came back to GH the second time after Gloria Monty was no longer EP.

Add Finola to that list.  Crapped on at the end of her first run by Monty.  Then Guza would only use her as a joke.  It wasn’t until Night Shift 2 and Carlivati that I got to see Finola closer to her original character than I had in years.

 

The fact that Monica is still on the show at all is a miracle.  If Finola leaves no actress that was popular in the hey day of the show is still on contract.  In the current soap climate that is a problem.
