[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 240172, member: 27"] The actress who played Roxie (Kristi Ferrell) seemed to drop off the face of the earth after leaving the show...or at least I don't recall seeing her in anything. I never did look to see if she jumped or if she was pushed. She was there for three years, which is typical for a soap contract. When it came time to write Johnny out of the series (further down the road, probably a year or two after the period you're in) they claimed that Roxie was showing signs of recovery and he left to rush to her side in the clinic overseas. Oh, that must be Dr. Meredith Reade, Fletcher's sister. That's not at all what I remember her looking like. :rolleyes: I assume GL felt they were being respectful of their origins with Johnny's cancer story, since GL was originally (in its radio days) a more religious-centered soap. The central character was a minister and the "guiding light" of the characters' lives was of course their minister's advice and guidance. But a lot of people thought Johnny's "miracle cure" (after all that talk of being terminal) was a cop-out. I was never a fan of James Goodwin's acting style (on GL or AW) so I wasn't really paying much attention to him, especially since there were so many other Bauers they could have brought back rather than 'creating' a distant cousin.
