Maybe now that certain people have been fired, this may change

Can we not post that click bait site here? thanks

Considering her Linkedin says her tenure ended in April 2023, I'm not surprised.

For some reason, RC has always struggled writing something for Shawn and Belle when there's so much potential there.

Can’t just blame him though- they have been ignored or misused for over a decade, way before Ron got there.

Am I the only one who thought the announcement was cryptic?  If someone hadn't pointed out that she used the past tense, I don't think that I would've understood the context.  It's a shame that there's no valid soap journalist to do an exit interview.  I bet it would be juicy.

So October or November likely her last airdate.  I am hoping not another Abigail tragedy.  I also hope Shawn, Brandon Beemer isn't gone too.  Maybe they separate or Belle is recast.   Jessica Collins, Alexa Havins are two at the top of my head I can think of who would make a great Belle recast.

Considering how poorly Belle has been used since her initial 2015 return I doubt it. My guess? If Beemer remains as Shawn-Douglas, I suspect Belle is sent back to DiMera in China (or wherever she was before).

Good for Martha.

Now that was both a juicy and classy exit interview!  Obviously, her foray into HR (Is recruitment HR-related?) has paid off in terms of knowing how to balance those objectives.

My overall take-away is that once again, acting is a humiliating profession.  Can imagine any other job where they tell you that you're fired, but then don't allow you to say goodbye?  It's like if Marty the cashier at Target was let go, but his manager just told his co-workers that he went on a long bathroom break...

I agree with her that Belle should be a more important role on canvas but a big reason for why she isn’t has been the fact MM has never been a good candidate as a leading actress. They tried for years to make her work and it never really clicked until the Chloe/Phillip/Belle/Shawn quad back in 08 before they let her go the first time. Corday should have dumped her and let Kristen Storms come back when she asked right before she went to GH.  I hope they recast with a more interesting actress.
