Ginger, Scott had a place on GH w/ Franco and even Maura's character. He's funny and had quite a following. It's just dumb imo to let the folks go.
As a side note..I watched a special on Facebook today ..live with the actors that are up for Emmy's. Laura/Carly came out and told this story about the reason she thinks her "reel" was special (*seeing Jason come back) is everyone likes that kind of story and how her earliest memory of soap watching was Tony/Luke seeing Laura come back from the dead.. wearing the Cloak..him on balcony w/ drink, putting it down, jumping down from the balcony, running over to her and removing the hood. unforgettable to her. ... hmmmm. I wish she'd send me THAT version. start at 4:25

There are other interesting things if you watch from the beginning.. Wally is great.. but they were talking about how many web soaps are up for awards and the desire/audience for the genre.. and if only a network had the xx to put another one on the air.. Wally kind of made a face.. but then the comment was made really quickly that they cost $$ ..what is TV all about? entertain people, make $..spend $ to entertain= make more $. but I must be wrong.
