GH: O’Connor/Van Etten OUT! Mulcahey/Korte IN!

[Contessa Donatella]

Someone should tell him that neither Frank nor ABCD likes it when people talk about roles that way.

No. Not a hard no if we couldn’t get JJ back at all but still no.

I remember JJ saying he would’ve renewed his contract during his second series regular run but when he asked JFP for a break on the heavy emotional material she wouldn’t budge. She loved chasing the great actors off by working them to the bone, SJB gave a similar story to MB on his podcast when talking about her Carly exit

All JJ did was cry, yell, and make his face red in that stint.

This morning I exchanged messages with one of the writers who were on the GL writing team with PM. She said she will love him forever & that he is brilliant & funny & he gives his all to both character & to story. She also said GH is lucky. 

[BetterForgotten]

Is that writer the equally fabulous Courtney Simon? She’s the only one I know still active and answering fan questions on social media. 

[Contessa Donatella]

Yew tawking to me? If so, no, it wasn't the delightful Courtney Sherman Simon although I could've messaged her. It was the other Nancy, not Curlee, but Williams Watt. I also have messaged with MVJ but everyone knows she & PM are besties who speak daily. 

[BetterForgotten]

Ah, yes, Williams Watt was an excellent Script Editor during those years at GL. She would be intimately familiar with his work. From my earlier post - she and PM were actually Co-HWs at GL for a very short time after Curlee departed.

Darn, I wish I'd known that this morning. But, it's okay, we talk from time to time & she sent me a picture of her that I treasure. When you see what is in the background you'll know why.

It was such a waste. He was dedicated to the show. He was also unhappy with the direction of his story under Guza; castigating Elizabeth, fighting drugs, the Siobhan saga, etc.

I think Darin would be a good Lucky, miles better than JY and GV lol

[janea4old]

No no no.  No to Darin as Lucky.  He isn't capable of the needed emotional nuance.

[Lye-C]

I want Darin back as Max on Days. I think that’s most likely.

Take Greg Vaughan back…I don’t like his portrayal of Eric Brady.

And, BTW, Carolyn Culliton is active, even moreso since they retired, on Twitter. (Technically UglyX)
