It was sudden, and they didn’t know until it happened in 1984. Denise wanted time off, and IIRC a guarantee they would not work her more than 3 days a week. She was pretty much exhausted. From her We Love Soaps interview she said what they objected to was the time limits. They had a huge story they wanted to play with a trial about Mike I think, and they didn’t want the restriction. So they threw more money at her. And she and her agent/lawyer declined, which made someone at ABC above Monty pissed thinking she was being ungrateful. So they stopped talking to one another and she said nobody was happy how it ultimately went down. But she got her time off which ended up being great for her.
Tony was there for a couple of months, I think at least 6 weeks, Genie for a couple of days. Which she did as a favor to Monty and Geary. I am sure they were well paid. It also helped set up Frisco and Felicia, it was kind of a passing of the torch to the next super couple. I don’t think they ever landed in PC either that trip. Laura did tell Like she was pregnant with Lucas Lorenzo Spencer Junior, who ended up being nicknamed Lucky before we met him.
JER fits more for me at GH more than he did at Y&R! 1987 is a pretty good year from what I remember. I know the Grant Putnam story kicks off, which is in my personal GH top ten.
