Members Carolyn1980 Posted July 31, 2006 Members Share Posted July 31, 2006 Many of you know that I have some connections in the industry, I've made no secret of it in the past. I have some information about GH to share. First, despite rumors, Guza appears to be staying. Pratt will be returning to join him shortly. The worse news? BIG budget cuts, and because of that, cast cuts. Don't shoot the messenger, but it's looking like Ted King, Greg Vaughan, and Rebecca Herbst will go this fall, the latter two departing with Genie Francis. The kicker is Rebecca is on the list because TPTB think that Robin and Liz are "redundant." If you are a fan of any of these three, now is the time to show your support.

Members AbFabGL4ever7 Posted July 31, 2006 Members Share Posted July 31, 2006 If that's the case then I can totally see GH doing a Port Charles and doing 13 week story arcs. They already revolve around a handful of characters anyway and it's the same crap day in and day out. If AMC's new look stays then I see this as a good possibility. There really arn't any core families besides the quartermaines on the show anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Brightside Posted July 31, 2006 Members Share Posted July 31, 2006 GH without Lucky & Liz? WTF! Regarding 'Liz' and 'Robin' are redundant? WELL WRITE THEM DIFFERENTLY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members David_Vickers Posted July 31, 2006 Members Share Posted July 31, 2006 This surely isn't true. GH axing fan faves Lucky and Elizabeth is absolutely dumb, stupid and idiotic. I don't think GH would axe Rebecca Herbst whatsoever. I sure hope Pratt isn't returning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members psychofan Posted July 31, 2006 Members Share Posted July 31, 2006 *sigh* Since they never use her anyway, I guess that I can't expect to see Constance Towers much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted July 31, 2006 Members Share Posted July 31, 2006 This is what I know as fact: The magazines refer to Charles Pratt Jr. as Former Co-Head Writer Elizabeth Korte is being called the "Associate Head Writer" (and someone on cast called her that too) This is what I believe: There is no way in hell that they would fire Greg Vaughn and Rebecca Herbst and give them an exit with Genie Francis. If the show was going to fire Becky, they would have done it a long time ago. I doubt Ted King is going anywhere, especially since he inked a new deal this past year (or late last year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted July 31, 2006 Administrator Share Posted July 31, 2006 Associate Head Writers are breakdown writers. In Korte's case though, she's more than just an associate/breakdown writer. She is also the script/story editor and has more power than GH's other associate writers (Conforti, Golf, Goldshmid). That's why she sometimes does the previews for SOD/SOW. Thanks for the awful news Carolyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted July 31, 2006 Members Share Posted July 31, 2006 Is Becky Herbst pregnant again?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dawn9476 Posted July 31, 2006 Members Share Posted July 31, 2006 That doesn't make him safe. Yeah he signed a new contract in May of 2005 but that doesn't make him untouchable especially since they have had hardly used him. Not that it makes me sad. Lorenzo is a boring character and TK sucks. I am glad they don't use him and that is why they should get rid of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted July 31, 2006 Members Share Posted July 31, 2006 Why don't they just get rid of their AWFUL EP/Headwriter and try and FIX the show?! The ratings get lower and lower, which is the reason for any budget cuts. Shouldn't they want to address that before anything? Brian Frons should be fired for letting his personal friendships with people prevent him from doing his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tina m Posted July 31, 2006 Members Share Posted July 31, 2006 I don't see this, but this is a joke. If Liz is redundant...what the hell do they think Sonny is? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dawn9476 Posted July 31, 2006 Members Share Posted July 31, 2006 I don't think there is anything they could do to get Genie to stay. She seems committed to going back to raising her kids in Maine after her GH stint is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ms. Walsh Posted August 1, 2006 Members Share Posted August 1, 2006 Exactly! Wasn't Sonny already diagnosed with bi-polar disorder a few years ago? Talk about redundant. They should think of the money they'd save by getting rid of Maurice. I'm sure he gets paid the most (except for maybe Tony Geary) of the entire cast.
