You know, Frank and Ron can't have it both ways. They can't expect the fans to get excited and passionate about GH, the characters and story lines and then NOT be disappointed when characters are treated poorly. I even saw a soap blogger state something like "get over it". Well, GH wouldn't even be on the air anymore if you didn't have some passionate fans. You can't have it both ways.
Exactly. Do you want me to care or not.
It's truly bizarre and I'm not sure if this is true, but hasn't it been said their biggest audience share has been the 50 and older fan meaning they watched theses vets in their prime and still love them and this is how they treat them?..No WORDS!
Thats the whole problem. They don't want that group because they generate no $$$ from advertisers. They want 25-49 and they have lost a ton of them since this time last year. As a matter of fact, they are worse now in those demos, then when Phelps was in charge. So I expect more 50+ actors to be shown the door this year.

It is pointless to an extent, because it's not going to change the decision, but if your fans aren't going to make an uproar on your behalf then you have a pretty crappy fanbase IMO. FH and LH and whoever else will just ignore it, it's no skin off their back to ignore. But the fans is what allow the actors to keep their hands clean of the debacle while showing anybody who cares that there's a whole lot of people care.
It did get them to rehire Becky Hearst. She was fired and rehired.

This regime strikes me as the kind to dig in its heels like a petulant child no matter what.
yep, but they went out of their way to get there their livers back :vomit

I'm a 38 year old fan who started watching as a young kid in 1984 and I'd rather see those classic era vets than anyone else. I'm sure there lots like me in the target demo but we're being discounted because we're not new fans.

Not according to a regular poster at the main thread, she said she has a friend who say's IB knew about this a while ago.. which was why he was looking for other gigs.
If you are a member of the Catacombs message page someone their close to Ian the gal who use to do those web radio shows posted that Ian DM'd her to confirm and that it was a surprise.

http://Posting links to other forums is against our rules. This post has been blocked/The_Catacombs/site
doesn't prove he leaked it
It was probably IB's publicist/agent. They probably started to look for new work for him and Logan found out.

honestly, Tristan and Jess looks real good together in that picture. Nice mature handsome pair. Maybe Ian can find his way over there and play a guy trying to go after Jill but Jill loves that shady Colin so he'd have to put in some work. I'll be cool for Tristan/Ian to work together again. I'll be cool with that.
