Eileen Davidson was THE star of DAYS for years, and a proven ratings grabber. Her getting offered only 10 days when she wanted more reeks of the Genie Francis/Jack Wagner/Tristan Rogers scenarios. |

I was a grade school kid watching GH in the 80s. But nobody does that now, tv viewership just doesn't work the same way. They're not going to attract a new audience, all they're doing is alienating the long-timers many of whom were kids during the heyday and still in the target demo. |

I always thought it was sad how sidelined Jessie became in the 80s. Emily McLaughlin was still in her 40s when she got pushed to the side. She was years younger than Maurice Benard is now. |

Honestly I thought if the newbies were introduced better and wrote for better, and the writing better in general, then the outcry for the classic vets wouldn't be as much. It's just that GH got so monotonous in the 2000s and still tedious now, just a different kind of tedious and many people associate the classic vets with better times and are already invested because of that. |
