- {Hi All...
- {
- {I was thinking...Now that the 2/15 episode has been spoiled by TV guide, I have
- {this theory.
- {
- {Since Morrow was giving the producers so much trouble last summer about his
- {contract, maybe by involving him with Maggie they are going to kill him off
- {(her past history being pointed out here). That would certainly solve the
- {contractual differences and make him realize that the show has reached the
- {point where it is not just about a New Yorker "imprisoned" in Cicely.
-
-
- The Contract negotiations were settled a LONG time ago. Morrow got
-
- his raise, but its never been said how much.
- {
- {I think the show would be just as good, if not better without him. Don't get
- {me wrong, I love the character and think Morrow is pretty good...but maybe this
- {theory is right. It is the kind of things that afternoon soaps do all the
- {time.
- {
- {Any thoughts on this?
- {
- I won't mince words. I think this would be a collosal mistake. Rob
- Morrow, IMHO, it the best actor in the cast. I think his two
- Golden Globe nominations and Emmy nomination attest to this.
-
- I think the character of Joel Fleischman is the ballast for the
- rest of the show--Joel is the voice of reason, skepticism and
- "reality" that gives the audience a point of reference for
- all the crazy goings on in Cicely. If they were to dump Rob for
- another actor, they would only have to replace him with a
- similar type character for the formula to work. And no one could
- do that type of character better than Rob--so leave him be.
-
- Besides, as has been shown with the Maggie/Mike "romance" I think
- the producers would be hard pressed to come up with someone who
- has as good chemistry with Janine Turner as Rob Morrow. Just take
- a gander at "Spring Break" or "It Happened in Juneau."
-
- Since Rob's contract has been signed, sealed and secured, I don't
- see him getting hit by a caribou anytime soon. Thankfully!

- BTW, If Rob WERE to leave the show for some reason, I, for one, would
- leave the show....:)
