[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 111094, member: 27"] The conventional wisdom is that only "contract" actors can appear in the opening credits of soaps. The design of the GH opening (which, I might add, I've ALWAYS hated) makes it necessary to have groupings of characters involved in each other's stories, so they'd have to replace the image of Ryan Paevey with someone on contract [B]and [/B]somehow linked to Kirsten Storms (who is in that section of the opening). I'm thinking/hoping Wes Ramsey is not on contract, if not just to keep him from ending up in yet another place RP belongs. :re: The best option would likely be to place KS in an image with Emme Rylan and Dominic Zamprogna's Lulu and Dante. In some cases, actors are written out well before their contract ends...forcing the show to keep the image of the actor in the opening credits until the contract actually ends. This might be why Paevey's gorgeous mug is still in the credits. This is why Teri Austin stayed in the[I] Knots Landing[/I] credits long after her character was killed off, causing some viewers to wonder if she was going to be 'resurrected' or have a twin sister show up or something. Watching yesterday, I'm beginning to think that Franco and/or Drew were molested in that basement by Jim back when they were kids. It would explain why Drew didn't want to talk about his childhood when Kim knew him before. It would explain why Betsy refuses to level with anyone about why she sent Drew away and lied about his existence for so long. It would explain why Franco is so determined not to remember anything that happened in that basement, and (wait for it...) why Franco became such a warped individual even before the infamous tumor developed.
