The show made her an offer she could refuse. Must have low balled her

They wanted to write her out for 5 months.  KA probably felt she wasn't valued and decided to walk.  

I really respect her telling them she will not be making guest appearances.  It reminds me of Genie Francis letting ABC know she is not interested in being on the show without a contract.
 

Although I used to love Hope, they haven’t given her the right material or romantic interest in a very long time.  If I was her I would also be tired of trying to sell the lackluster pairings, poorly written stories, and being a cheerleader for the show.  Especially when the show comes to me and tells me that they want to write me out for several months and when I come back I get to sell another new relationship.

The show is going to be really weird without Hope.

The Thing is if the return story was good maybe she would have agreed to a 5 month Hiatus but something tells me they had no idea what this exciting story would be so KA walked

 

Now would Corday be petty enough to recast Hope

If I were producer I'd hire ____________ as the new Hope Brady

.

 

And send Wally to GH and recast Justin with Gregg Marx. They'd be playing their ATWT parts as cop and lawyer. I know it will never happen but on well. Remember Days is taped in California where Gregg is and Hillary would jump at the chance to work with Gregg again.

Oh I forgot..yeah I'd pair Hope and Justin..lol

Sorry, @Soapsuds, but no thanks. Hope should not be recast. Not after 37 years. Add in that some actors that sparked on one soap can positively suck on another and...yeah. However, as Gregg Marx had already been on Days as David Banning, maybe resurrect him and bring him back to deal with Mama Julie and son Eli.

 

Maybe something happened where David had to fake his death? Bring back Valerie and have them reconnect...

It's somewhat reminiscent of Days pushing Bill & Susan Hayes aside in favor of Kristian & Peter. TPTB told the Hayes' there was no story for them, which prompted them to leave. They came back eventually, but I don't know if the show will last long enough for Kristian to rethink here stance. 

Peter Reckell left for similar reasons.  They weren’t going to focus on his character anymore.  I do not blame these people.  If they have to be there they want to work and be valued.

It's all that partying you're doing poolside. I've seen those pics.😉

I love HBS but I'm sorry, no amount of being horny over 35 year old faded polaroids of Gregg Marx would make her acceptable as a Hope recast.
