Rumors, Rumors, Rumors!

I don't know how much more I can take. Example. Everyone knows that Greenlee will bid farewell to Pine Valley in the next few weeks. When the exit was first announced, speculation began swirling that Leo would resurface in some form to help usher his true love off canvas. Now, with the departure fast approaching, it's looking more and more likely that Greenlee will suffer a fate eerily similar to her first husband. I have a question. Why can't characters ever make believable exits? Couldn't it be something as simple as Greenlee getting the opportunity to expand Fusion to another part of the country and leaving to make sure everything gets up and running smoothly? Why all the unnecessary rehash of history? Can someone please come up with an original idea?

I reported a couple of weeks back that Elizabeth Rodriguez was returning to All My Children as a contract player. Now, however, word is quickly spreading that the actress has been released before she even reappears. Is this to be believed? If so, yet another question arises. What would be the point of offering a contract in the first place? Personally, this is one rumor I hope is absolutely untrue. We need a character like Carmen to spice things up around our desperately boring valley.

How close was AMC to getting canceled earlier this year? According to industry insiders, the axe came dangerously close to falling on several occasions. That's all I have to say about that. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry. Life without Pine Valley is one I hope I never see.
