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.
