GH: Actor Leaving


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Chad had an interview with Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson a few months back and you could just tell he didn’t care to be on the show anymore and his performances have shown that as well. He talked about preferring comedy and they were trying to encourage him to take an acting class or do improv just to reignite the passion but he seemed more than over it. I still to this day liked Drew Garret better in the role and think it was a mistake he got replaced.

Robert Adamson stunk it up on Y&R the same way Duell has at GH so I’d prefer a new actor with some gravitas. Michael is a legacy character that should be leading man status.

Between Kelly Monaco leaving and now this, the show is finally getting rid of the dead weight. Both actors were good at one point but have been checked out for years. I hope they don't write Michael off and give the character a chance with an actor who wants to be there.

Perhaps the current writing is also figuring into his decision. His character is coming off as such a wuss. His wife cheats on him and all he could do is sulk, pout and whine. Michael should be taking punches at Drew, not Jason.

His character has never been cast well nor had good writing. Like Monaco, he has been pretty much sleep walking for over a decade. It's long past due for him to leave. It seems like it takes GH at least 10 years to figure out whether an actor/ character is dead wood or not..

I wish him luck on whatever is coming next! I don’t really watch GH now, but given how Michael seemed to be a hit or miss character for a lot of people during most of Duells run, the show would be better off maybe staying clear of recasting. IMO

RE: Robert Adamson, he was miscast and given so little to do as Noah, so I wouldn’t blame his acting when nothing was given to him, as far as just being another “pretty face”. He should have been cast as Scotty Grainger instead!

Neither have I. I know many adored Garrett, but all I remember is a lot of tics and we already got that elsewhere on the show. I am glad they have moved Michael more into the Q sphere but he was brought up in what essentially gutted all the best of GH and that's hard to get past.

I assume Michael will be recast, rather than killed off, but I do wonder if they will let the character rest for a while.

I don't think they'd fire Duell; he's been more central to the canvas than Kelly has in recent years.  

I can believe this. For him and for many in the current cast.

It's telling that likely the only reason the story with Drew, Willow and Sasha even kicked into gear is because of Duell leaving. No wonder, as you have mentioned, there was little to no genuine feeling to the plot.

    • Beverlee was on a whole other level from Kim. It's not like they were in competition with each other. I get the feeling that Kim had a slight problem with the super-professional, serious cast members who just wanted everyone to be prepared and do the work, as she seems to like having fun on set. (She's made a few cracks about Chris Bernau being like that). Bev was definitely one of those. But they didn't work together that much. Yeah, they made her manic and also much weaker. She always had a vulnerability, but wanting to kill herself over that guy? No way. Not only that, he didn't leave her! She insisted he marry Maeve. When they did the tribute to Bert/Charita, the compilation of scenes with her showed how much the cast had been completely decimated. Almost every shot was of her by herself because nearly everyone she had worked with had been fired, left or been replaced.

    • A little too much focus on Chad and Cat today but I enjoyed the episode. I have a feeling that Jennifer’s gonna get dumped on though, even though I think that her anger is completely understandable and justified. And honestly, Ron is finally gone; Abigail can come back now.  But, welcome back, Anna! It was nice seeing Carrie have scenes with her mother. Christie Clark and Leann Hunley have never really had that many scenes together and to see them have them now is really nice. I’m glad that both of them were there to comfort Marlena too. Their words were definitely the thing that Marlena needed to hear. Btw, with all this talk of Noah, does it mean that he’s gonna be introduced soon? Amy, revealing that John changed her flat tire many years ago seemed a little random though. I would rather she have said something about how everybody in Salem knows of John Black because of how he was always such a hero. But at the same time, her story also showed what a great guy John was.  I liked Kate’s scenes with Philip too, and her promise to get back at Xander for what he did. And since we didn’t see JPL in the bed, did he need some time off or something? And yeah, everything involving ‘One Stormy Night’ still seems very Ron-like to me.
    • The second photo featuring the late John Spencer is from the Law & Order episode, "Prescription For Death", which was the (second) pilot/first episode all the way back in 1990! He played the father of a daughter that had gone to the ER for a mere sore throat but ended up dead because the doctor on call was drunk and had given her medication that she had an adverse reaction to, after receiving some other medication. So, he will always have that great distinction in addition to The West Wing. (The first pilot, "Everybody's Favorite Bagman", was filmed in 1988! The show was offered to CBS, but they passed. In syndication, it is oddly placed as the sixth episode of Season 1. And Roy Thinnes played DA Alfred Wentworth there. When NBC picked up the show two years later, Thinnes declined to return, and that's how we got Steven Hill's DA Adam Schiff.)
    • exactly. I can understand schadenfreude if it were real, but a lot of this is just an engineered distraction.
    • Days of our Lives S60E204 – Thursday, June 5, 2025 Okay, today’s episode was kind of boring. It was nice seeing Jack and Jen back, but they wasted an entire episode on Jen chatting with Julie - one scene would’ve been enough. Also, why didn’t Jack and Jen go comfort Marlena? And wouldn’t a flashback with Jack, Jen, and John have been great? Maybe something from the Cruise of Deception era? Bottom line - it feels like once John’s memorial is over and the returning fan favorites leave Salem… the show’s going to be dull again.
    • Everything with Elon and Trump is a stunt. If people, and the sycophantic press, are talking about their "feud," they are not talking about Republican plans to gut Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA. 
    • I can't fully remember, but I don't think they tried to get Beth Chamberlin back. I think Laibson/McTavish likely saw Beth as old news and wanted to move Philip on; either that or have her return only when Philip was closely tied to a new woman. Thanks as always for these recaps. I think I had stopped watching around this time and mostly kept up by reading in the soap magazines. Bridget's degradation was horrible to watch, as the character had grown so much over the years and was clearly regressed just to be a foil for a "hot" couple viewers had zero investment in. 
    • Having the majority of the cast on those low numbers is no way to tell story. And just 2 dayplayers for the month. So sad for the #1 soap.
