[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 444058, member: 27"] I have to say I was shocked they got rid of him. When Charles Mesure left the role in a huff, he stated on X that it was because GH had so much backstage politics going on (leadership playing favorites, etc.). McKenna gave the impression he was a "company man" and would do whatever they wanted. He seemingly volunteered to be a mouthpiece for TPTB, offering up various scoops in his social media and making everyone look like a happy family (especially the ones suspected of having made Mesure mad enough to quit). It was as if he realized part of his "job security" involved making viewers forget/overlook any of the favoritism---and if he succeeded, he'd become of those "favorites". Guess the joke was on him. It was said that Jack Brennan was supposed to get killed off much earlier---like they said about Cullum---but that they extended McKenna's time on the show due to Finola Hughes's unexpected absence. This was why he had so little to do with the ending of the Cold Fusion plotline and was sidelined afterward. The whole dalliance with Nina (which I liked) was done just to kill time, I guess.
