No. Rose last appears in November, 1991. At Christmas, 1991, she and Patrick are said to b visiting Doug in California (this is the last mention of Doug that I know of). By Nixon's return, Patrick is no longer around, but he was never killed off. I truly believe Nixon forgot that she hadn't offed him in 1984 like she had planned in the bible.
The article would be around the time that Larkin Malloy had gone out for a month on leave and Dennis Parlato took over. Parlato was originally a temp replacement and when Malloy was suppose to return, they fired him. There was also a period of time when Malloy was offscreen (late summer, 1992). When originally hired, Malloy had agreed to take the part of Clay because Addie Walsh had written for him on Guiding Light and he admired her work.
1992 has a big cast turnover, but it was under both producers. Granger would have recasted Celeste Holms with Patricia Barry. Let go both Roger Howarth and Eden Atwood. Dropped Christopher Cass as Jack. Dropped Richard Cox as Giff. Her hires would have included possibly Paul Anthony Stewart (he arrives very early in her run so its possible it was an Addie Walsh hire), James Carroll as Leo. Michael Gallardi as Armand Rosario. And negotiated the arrival of Jean LeClerc as Jeremy.
The general impression I got from the Men of Loving interview was that Granger was not well liked, but I couldn't tell if that was, in part, because of the antics that use to go on backstage during Joseph Hardy's era based on some of the comments and stories the guys were sharing.
Woodall leaves in February, and Haidee Granger's name doesn't appear in the credits until May. The press at the time claimed that Woodall wanted to go to college and his departure would line up with a second semester start. When Walsh comes in during January, 1992, the show had appeared to be gearing up for a Matt / Ally / Revel triangle wiht Matt and Revel as bandmates. So much of the Rescott story is dropped by Walsh and Matt fell into that story realm.
Keith Pruitt, who was out, was also let go under Fran Sears, like Woodall, but the show jettisoned that part of the cast to make room for the college kids.
