Message: <blockquote data-quote="Daniel Avery" data-source="post: 339698" data-attributes="member: 27">Part of the reason she might be "okay" with the show ending is because of how central they made her character.  She likely was the first actor there every morning and the last one to leave at night.  Even the less-informed (read: non-viewer) writers often say Gillies "carries the show on her back".  That might feel like a great opportunity in the first two years, but by year five any actor who wants to have a life outside of that studio would be begging for them to diversify the stories a bit and give her less screen time.  I've never heard her complain (or hint that she was unhappy) about the work load, but it had to have been insane at times.  I don't know Nicollette Sheridan.  I was nowhere near Eagle Rock Studios when she was there, and have no idea what went on.  I do think it is worth noting that while several news sources confirmed that Sally Sheridan was ill at the time, NS was the only one to say she was "terminally ill".  NS left in February of 2019, and yet Sally Sheridan is still alive and well, at least according to the research I just did with our pal Google.  I'm not saying Mama Sheridan needs to die in order to confirm NS's story, but the longer Mama S lives on, the more I think she exaggerated her mother's situation to give herself a good cover story for a departure that wasn't as simple as they wanted us to believe.</blockquote>
