Additional Comments: Ok, so they can keep most of the "dead" people in the opening credits.. Lainey..whom we haven't seen in awhile, but they so quickly yanked Bobbie's face out of the opening credits!! FU GH!! Thats total BS!!! And I can't believe we had the one day with Bobbie going to see Carly. She hasn't been to the hospital since! This show is such a freaking joke!!

The openings are usually reserved only for contract players (with the exception of OLTL which kept Catherine Hickland in the opening even though she went off contract - I think she is back on now but I am not sure).

Alan, Michael and Emily could still be on contract, hence the current opening. Jackie's removal wasn't the only one so I don't think it was directed at her. They probably should have waited until early May when Natalia (Emily) allegedly leaves for good.

I do agree the vets on GH have been treated poorly. OLTL's new head writer (who has been with the show for years as a writer) has been balancing the vets with the younger players. So have the new writers on Y&R.

GH for some reason decided to use the Loving/Alden method to get rid of the Quartermaines (kill them off instead of writing them out). That could be JFP's idea as she seems to love 'shocking' deaths.

Bobbie's daughter and Mike's son are front and center on the show. They (Mike and Bobbie) should be around more

Is Jackie Zeman recurring now? If Bobbie is out of the opening, why is Mickey still in there? I forget if Skye is still in the opening ans she has been gone a while.

Replies: (list all replies)

Skye and Georgie are both out of the opening, however, Justus is still in the group shot; and, as has been pointed out, taking Bobbie out meant that the show put in a solo frame of Michael, since he and Bobbie shared a frame, which doesn't make much sense because he has already been let go. I don't get it. Meanwhile, Lainie is still there and I didn't even know that she was a contract player, since she is barely on. Like I said, I don't get it.

The group shot has not changed at all. I am sure there are a lot of dead characters on that shot. Lainey makes zero sense. She is hardly ever on, why is she in the opening? I think Bobbie shoudl be there before Lainey or any otehr newbie. ladfan

Really odd, especially since taking her out made them have to put in a solo picture of Mikey, just when he's been let go, too.

I agree. The vets on this show get treated like crud. But it's especially annoying now when Bobbie could be used within this Michael storyline. But, we must remember, this is GH.
