Message: <blockquote data-quote="Daniel Avery" data-source="post: 160365" data-attributes="member: 27"><p>The real answer, of course, is that Rachel Ames retired several years ago.  The running joke about 'Gram' Audrey being an off-screen, beeping horn ("Boys, Gram's here to take you to school, hurry up!") isn't even being used any more to give the idea that Audrey is in Port Charles, just off-screen.  Liz has Franco to be the convenient babysitter, and of course Cameron is now old enough not to need Audrey to pick him up from school or whatever.  They may speak of Audrey occasionally (usually in situations involving the vets like Gail, Monica, etc.) but I think they're trying to make the viewers forget about her since Ames has turned down all recent requests for cameos.  They moved Lee and Gail to Fort Lauderdale without really mentioning it on the air as it supposedly occurred...only announcing their move as part of the news that Lee had died earlier last year.  I assume at some point Liz will mention in passing that Gram similarly moved to Florida or somewhere else since this is how they slowly nudge veterans out of a soap.</p></blockquote><p></p>
