It's GL's loss. He's a good actor, IMO, but he just never really got great material to work with. And the fact that he was constantly overshadowed by Jonathan didn't help. I still say he'd be a great Jeremy recast on DAYS. |

Sorry to see him leave! I wish he could stay but NOT with Beth . . . Phillip is coming back , Coope would be out of his league if he got it in his mind to make like he is a "tough guy!" with a Spauding! ;) |

The character was always a total wash, IMO. |

He's one of those actors who could be great elsewhere, but can't rise above the material, unlike, say, Tom Pelphrey (IMO). Some people just can't do it, even if they're decent. |

I'm not the least bit surprised, I predicted this weeks ago. I feel bad for the actor but I don't think the character will be missed at all, he just never caught on in my opinion.
I completely agree, and funny you mention Tom Pelphrey because I happen to think that some of Johns best scenes were with Tom Pelphrey. |

I thought he was a good actor but he was stuck with bad material. |

Too bad about that Van Zandt thing continuing to be employed. I just happened on a scene with her in today's show and that beast was the worst actress I think i've ever seen. Was she some kind of reality show casting? |

Nope she was on The Sopranos in a small role before getting GL. She was only supposed to be on a few shows, (and Ashlee wasn't even related to Doris). One person who tried out for the role was from the world of reality television--American Idol Season 2 runner up Diana DeGarmo. |
