Seems Evan Homer got exit interviews from mainstream media (people, ET etc). Not sure what he ever did to warrant such attention but maybe that blind item was actually about him? 🤷‍♀️

His publicist earning their paycheck this weekend, lol.  People calling him a "fan favorite."  Oh, People!

LOL, no. Hofer has been on one soap in a mid-level supporting role for less than three years. That does not a A-list soap star make.

That doesn't even make for a B-list soap star. 

[dubbel zout]

It doesn't make him a star.

Maybe it does in his book lol! I mean, he was paired with Joss and was in stories with Sonny, Carly and Michael. I don’t consider CD an A lister either.

I honestly don't think Chad Duell has any Illusions about what's waiting for him. He's pushing 40 and he stayed on the show for about 15 years without trying to break out. I could see Evan Hofer actually trying because he's still young. I can see the BI actually being about Evan, although it does surprise me if he made the choice to leave because he's been sucking up to his cast members on social media.

Why did I read this as Evil Homer smdh

[Sake614]

CD had a couple of guest starring roles in prime time but was decidedly unimpressive. The one that stands out for me was some supernatural thing where he played a demon or devil or some such character. I think he was supposed to be scary but I just laughed. I can see it in my head but can’t for the life of me remember the show!

I agree, I can't imagine Chad has these delusions.  But actors are a special breed and you never know.  I also don't believe this was Evan's choice, he has kind of presented himself as the mayor of the cast.  He greets and gives tips to all the newcomers.   I think this whole blind item is BS and don't even believe it's true of either of them.

I didn’t know Crazy Days and Nights existed before this week. The post doesn’t mention GH, could it be someone from another soap?

That site is a literal cesspool of misinformation.

The only non-GH thing I can remember seeing him in was Wizards of Waverly Place, and he was not good.

My opinion on KeMo is it's impossible to tell, here from the cheap seats, if it's sour grapes or a legitimate complaint.... that's what the courts are for.

Yeah and it can also be a little of both.  I mean she’s been phoning it in for a long time now, and that was made even more apparent by all the flashbacks they showed during her exit.  She’s not really had the best writing either but the pros will give it their all no matter what type of dreck is written for them.  She didn’t do that.  She was starting to come around recently with Sam being paired with Dante, but too little too late I suppose.  Still, she’s been around a long time so I can see her feeling salty about being let go when others not much better than her are allowed to stay.

SOD confirmed that Dex is a goner 😀🎉🎊

He started off promising with his vendetta against Sonny, but since that wasn’t allowed to go anywhere he kind of fizzled out.  I think he could have a decent career though.  I don’t think that blind item is about Chad.  I don’t think he has those delusions.  He’s nearing middle age so I doubt he thinks he’s going to hit it big now.

[ComeWhatMay]

In one of his interviews, Evan talked about when Frank told him he was being killed off. Evan was someone who clearly wanted to be there and it showed, but they wrote the character unlikable from the start (per their norm) and looked for him to fill voids left by two very popular folks that he simply didn’t have the chops for and saddled him with a pairing where there was no substance to it. Some of the PR we are seeing could’ve been GH too because he was an ambassador for the show and is exiting in a way that they like so they might’ve wanted to help him a bit. Petty and spiteful people make their points in ways one might not expect in my experience. 

Chad clearly was unhappy for a long while and people he worked with openly discussed it. Because of his tenure, the show may have given him the courtesy of saying it was his decision, even if it wasn’t, but I really do believe that this was his choice as he says it was. His father‘s death may have led to him really evaluating things and deciding to make some changes. 

That blind could be about someone from a different soap or Enty and co. just playing games. 

[KerleyQ]

I wouldn't rely on Enty for any accurate information. At one point, around a decade or so ago, he happened to have a couple blinds that turned out to be true. The subject matter was something that attracted some overzealous conspiracy theorists, who are kind of desperate for their conspiracies to be real. So, it turned into a thing where most of his blind items were coming from them, and all centered around that subject. He was posting them, because it brought eyeballs, but I suspect that it chased his genuine sources away from wanting to be associated with his site. So, he posts those unvetted blinds and, to keep some kind of "credibility" he fills in with posts like this one that are vague and generic enough that you can assume it applies to any number of people, and something that's believable but not provable. Stuff like this one is practically automatically "true," because there are always actors coming and going on soaps. And it's easy to assume, unless they're of retirement age, that they left because they are looking for bigger and better things. 

In this case, it really doesn't feel like this fits either Chad or Evan.  Chad's IMDB is pretty sparse, so between that, his age, and the fact that he recently had a kid, it just feels like it would be an insanely stupid move on his part to just quit and assume Hollywood will fall at his feet with big roles. I figure he's likely got something already lined up to keep the money coming, whether that's another acting job (most likely on another soap) or something non-acting. And Evan seems like it was genuinely the show's choice, not his. He seemed to very much like where he was, and he did everything he could to endear himself to the show and viewers.
