If Sarah Brown leaves that will be a huge loss for GH, and probably the first of many departures. I wish her all the luck in the world. She's a wonderful actress and I'd like to think she won't have any trouble getting other work, although who would have thought RH would have had so few opportunities. I never know what to expect anymore. It's too bad the same handful of actors get most of the movie roles whether or not they're best suited for the parts. -- At The Bayberry

I LOVED Sarah Brown before, felt she deserved each Emmy win. Loved her Carly, loved her CarSon when written well like week before... but OMG anyone who dares tell Jilly to go to hell SHOOTS to QUEEN OF MY LIST! Go Sarah, go... she's very talented, already applied to film school, she doesn't need the HELL that Jilly daily creates on GH set, so I applaud her for getting heck out of there though I will miss her like crazy.

- Elisa, ITA HUGE loss for GH, and a quick recast is a disastrous idea only Jilly would attempt. Anyways, Sarah will probably head to film school first as she wants to direct, too. She's ambitious & talented enough to strike it big, I hope she makes it. (NT) -- Pilar, 00:39:10 03/09/01 Fri
  - Elisa and Pilar, I've been off the boards most of the night, and just went to check out the latest news. Okay I knew Jill was an absolutely horrible EP, but this I can't believe. What in the world happened to create this mess? And Pilar, ITA with you about Sarah. I would've paid good money to watch her tell McJill where to go LOL... Pilar, do you have a guess as to why this occurred? (NT) -- Megan, 01:08:31 03/09/01 Fri
    - Megan, haven't a clue what cause blowup except Jilly being her usual bitch on set? I don't know but first time in over a year I surfed to MD GH board just to read reaction I want to see Jilly crucified for driving Sarah away. (NT) -- Pilar, 01:12:58 03/09/01 Fri
      - Ratings for watching Jilly get reamed I predict would be 10+ (NT) -- Pilar, 01:14:25 03/09/01 Fri
        This creates an interesting predicament for Angela Shapiro I would think. Let's recap, shall we? Ratings are tanking like never before, the writing for this week in particular has been atrocious, one of your best actresses just walked off the set after a fight with your new EP who's been in position less 3 months, and finally, your fans are royally pissed. Not a good combination. (NT) -- Megan, 01:26:01 03/09/01 Fri
        Writing was atrocious, dreadful, and so much worse I can tell Jillyvision has struck w/music replacing good dialogue, SPDs galore & bitchy, stupid females worse than ever. As for ratings drop, I think Jilly is blaming them on Riche/Guza still... personally I think some GH fans headed for hills noticing signs of train wreck approaching. But heck Shapiro loves Jilly she pisses off fans, & you know ABC daytime thinks angry fans still watch. (NT) -- Pilar, 01:30:42 03/09/01 Fri
        They think angry fans still watch? They'd better rethink that theory, and quick! Any fans of the shows that Jill has EP'd know her track record only too well, and history is the best teacher. (NT) -- Megan, 01:39:20 03/09/01 Fri
        My big question is what will Shapiro do now? My gut (and past history) tells me she'll sit back and twiddle her thumbs, and Jill will slither out of yet another mess.... Does Eisner read his mail? LOL (NT) -- Megan, 01:43:26 03/09/01 Fri
        Oh yes, Shapiro & JFP in 99 were quoted as saying angry fans are caring fans still tuned in, they earned TIIC titles for that idiocy. Ratings tanking much faster than Soapnet can make up and still do NOT get stop pissing off fans, give us what we want as C Hinsey said you would think they get msg by now. (NT) -- Pilar, 01:52:15 03/09/01 Fri
        My guess is Shapiro will do nothing. Jillly will excuse fight as SB wanted to leave anyways, don't need her anyways... we have Jensen Buchanan, the new star of GH to come. Eisner apparently loves Jilly from what I've heard... I guess at this point Jilly is kissing Geary so much cause only him or a Lucci have enough clout w/Shapiro to win a battle. (NT) -- Pilar, 01:57:14 03/09/01 Fri
        So you're saying fans are screwed? :) (NT) -- Megan, 02:10:05 03/09/01 Fri
        ABC daytime fans, including GH fans, will remain screwed as long as Angela Shapiro remains president. She gives Jilly carte blanche to wreak her havoc. FMB, under Shapiro, is NOT fan of Jilly NOR McHack, I'd love to see her promoted... problem is Shapiro is big on marketing ideas which appeals most to Disney, not producing creative programming. If someone handed me a memo that said Shapiro was charged w/destroying soaps on purpose I would believe it, that's how bad a job I believe she's done. (NT) -- Pilar, 02:41:32 03/09/01 Fri
        I guess basic logic escapes them, hence the major mess they're in right now. It's ludicrous beyond belief! I just keep asking myself what it'll take for them to realize what they're doing. (NT) -- Megan, 01:59:17 03/09/01 Fri
  - ICAM, Elisa and Pilar. This is a huge loss for GH, and is pretty forboding for the future of GH in jfp's hands. I'm not a huge CarSon fan as for the most part I've found the writing atrocious, but I respect SB immensely as an actress, wish her the best, and am so glad she told jfp where to go! Just really wondering what will happen with MB now.... How long will he stick around? (NT) -- Nic, 01:11:16 03/09/01 Fri
    - Poor MB re-signed for 2 year deal short while back. He probably has outclause in there but for now he's stuck with whatever dreadful actress Jilly recasts for Carly part.... MB I doubt is a happy camper today. (NT) -- Pilar, 01:18:10 03/09/01 Fri
      - I wouldn't be surprised to see TG playing dual role AJ/Sonny. He's had practice with that mob accent don't forget:) (NT) -- Elisa, 01:57:51 03/09/01 Fri
- Wow, Pilar, I'm surprised that you like Sarah Brown so much!!! She's the reason I stopped watching GH!!! I found her character detestable and her acting one- dimensional. Her character has not grown one iota since its inception and she has never moved me emotionally! Her motivation for being "bad" was never very strong--so she was given up by her birth-mother, BIG F#CKING DEAL!! Is that suppose to explain her glee at destroying people?? (NT) -- TROG42, 13:51:33 03/09/01 Fri
  - Trog... I never liked Carly either and found CarSon "boring" [they remind me of BnT, LOL!].... still, I think SB is a helluva actress and definitely deserving of the Emmys she's won... jmo. (NT) -- jackie, 14:06:20 03/09/01 Fri
    - Ouch, I'm deeply offended CarSon fan [wink] NEITHER Carly NOR Sonny dominates other sexually, thank soap opera gods, in sex they are EQUALS, hell their first time was battle for control, neither winning, & I have NEVER forgotten that incredible erotic & powerful scene! *VBG When Carly is written bang on, SB rocks the house much like Roger's Todd does! Carly, like Todd, has deep abandonment fears since her adopted dad walked out on her! (NT) -- Pilar, 16:48:03 03/09/01 Fri
      - Anyways, I've always found Carly & Todd similar characters, damaged & self-destructive but survivors at any cost. To say Carly does NOT bend is like saying Todd refuses to break. And the walls come tumbling down are best scenes for Todd & Carly... SB last year in those miscarriage scenes poured her heart & soul into Carly's self-castigation. I cried me a river for her, so yep SB moves me almost as much as Roger does... almost. (NT) -- Pilar, 16:51:43 03/09/01 Fri
        Well... CarSon reminded me of BnT "before" McHack labeled BnT SEX "peculiar"...LOL! in fact, Carly recently had dialogue that spoke "BnT" to me, when Carly was trying to convince Sonny to let her stay with him cuz they're so much alike, she says to Sonny how destructive they both ARE to the people around them, step on people to get what they want, etc. (NT) -- jackie, 19:49:59 03/09/01 Fri
        That's okay if only ONE half of a couple is like that but NOT both! and dialogue such as that made me remember just ONE of the reasons I don't like BnT and find CarSon boring, there IS such a thing as being so much alike you bring out the worst in each other (BnT).. OR, as with CarSon there isn't enough "diversity" in the relationship (imo) so they "bore" me.. (NT) -- jackie, 19:53:30 03/09/01 Fri
        And if both SB and MB weren't such good actors, I would FF a lot more of the CarSon stuff than I already do, LOL!... they're great actors but do absolutely nothing for me as a COUPLE. (NT) -- jackie, 19:56:37 03/09/01 Fri
        Hey Jackie, I don't find them much like BnT in that they battle for control regularly in ALL aspects of their relationship. I see more similarities to TnT in CarSon are two fiercely independent people trying to find a balance between them. Sonny at times pulls his manipulative SOB routine & Carly gets in his face. Sonny is manic-depressive or that's how MB plays him really, & Carly had to wade thru a lot of that baggage to get him to open up, & vice versa. (NT) -- Pilar, 04:58:46 03/10/01 Sat
