    This may have already been discussed but does anyone else find it ironic that P&G chose to incorporate Abby's real life heath situation into the storyline of Guiding Light, but they fired Michael Zaslow rather than incorporating his ALS into Roger's character?

    Just thought this was interesting

    I mailed Amy Ecklund a letter explaining how I was blind and wore contacts growing up and when I was in fifth grade I got special glasses that could help me see. On Sunday, May 30, 1999 at 3:00:00 AM UTC-4, Judi Sohn wrote:

    Also, Amy Ecklund could have continued to play Abby

    The Amy we've been seeing for the past couple of weeks can hear. The
    shows are taped about a month ahead of time and the article about Amy's >surgery in TV Guide was like three weeks ago.
    Yes, she's also not wearing hearing aids anymore, last I saw. And she
    doesn't look as lost when someone is speaking behind her and somehow Abby responds. <g>
