I don't think I agree with the idea that she should not accept recurring. A lot of talent of her era have been reduced to recurring...Leslie Charleson, Kin Shriner, Jackie Zeman are all on recurring. There are not a lot of soaps around any more, and it is not going to be a cake walk to move into stage or film. She could probably do regional theater, but that involves extended leaves around the country, and she has a marriage and comfortable lifestyle that would have to be back-burnered. Working part-time seems like a pretty comfortable way to stay active without too much sacrifice. I guess it all depends on her personal career goals.
The bottom line for me is the satisfaction she is getting from working on GH. Does it fulfill her desire to act? Is it worth her time? The show is not Shakespeare any more. That is for sure. Maybe she should just let it go.
